LETTER FROM THE 
BOARD CHAIR

R. William McFarland

To all shareholders:

The year 2020 was quite a ride – COVID-19 closed 
down the global and Canadian economies, we 
completed the merger of Dexterra and Horizon 
North and moved forward in charting a new path 
and vision. It was a year to remember! 

Thank you for the trust you have placed in the Board 
of Directors and management team. I also want to 
personally thank all of our 6,000-plus employees 
across the country for responding with enthusiasm 
to serve our customers, stay safe and give back to 
our communities where we work and live. We not 
only met the 2020 test but exceeded expectations. 
We have dramatically transformed your company by 
building a pan-Canadian support services company 
to lead the way in the creation, management and 
operation of vital infrastructure while delivering 
value for shareholders. 

Our emphasis on building shareholder value 
and holding ourselves accountable is not a 
passing fade but rather a way of doing business. 
It was evidenced by the reinstatement of our 
dividend, our commitment to reduce the debt 
level, our focus on operational excellence and 
cost containment and the reduction in our 

capital spending. Solid operating results in a 
COVID-19 environment, significant synergies 
realized from the transaction and the successful 
negotiation of a new credit facility present 
great foundational pieces to build upon.

Looking forward, I and your management team led 
by John Mac Cuish are committed to and excited 
about building a Canadian services champion with 
$1 billion in revenue and over $100 million in EBITDA. 
A company that builds quality into everything we 
do and also makes our communities and society 
stronger. 

We look forward to you joining us virtually for 
our shareholders meeting and to answering 
your questions. We are very fortunate to have 
supportive and loyal shareholders and don’t take 
that for granted. We will work hard in the coming 
year to continue to build and earn your trust and 
confidence.

of why we are a partner of choice in our chosen 
market segments. I strongly believe this client-
centric approach is fundamental to being a growth 
organization and it is a critical part of our strategy 
to become a pan-Canadian leader in infrastructure 
support services. The value that we create for clients 
is powered by the passionate people at Dexterra 
Group who maintain and enhance the integrity 
of their environments, optimize the utility of their 
assets and deliver infrastructure and service to 
support their organizational goals.

The quality of our employees, their engagement 
and their focus are significant factors in our ability 
to achieve our purpose of enabling the higher 
performance and productivity of our clients 
and playing a vital role in our communities and 
economies. We create value for our team members 
by promoting a healthy, safe, and inclusive work 
culture, supporting their career objectives with 
opportunities for growth and development, and 
by inspiring them to embrace initiative and drive 
innovation.

LETTER FROM THE CEO

Success Through Service

To our Dexterra Group stakeholders:

2020 was an unusual, yet exciting, year for our 
company. Challenged by the COVID-19 pandemic 
like many other Canadian businesses, we were 
nevertheless able to complete a significant 
transaction to lead our company into the future – 
the combination of Horizon North and Dexterra that 
created Dexterra Group. 

The ambitious 90-day integration plan that followed 
the transaction was extremely successful in building 
teams and working together to achieve common 
goals and delivering substantial cost synergies. 
The annualized savings are $22 million and most of 
the benefits were realized in 2020. It is important 
to our success that we continue to deliver on the 
cost savings over the long term and operate in an 
efficient manner. To that effect, we have adopted a 
decentralized model with nimble and accountable 
business units and fewer layers of management 
that push our decision making closer to our clients.

I want to thank the more than 6,000 Dexterra 
Group employees across Canada who have done an 
outstanding job supporting our customers over the 
course of both the pandemic and our own business 
merger. Our employees’ continued to focus on 
delivering best-in-class quality service as we work 
and adapt to an ever changing environment.

Striving for the safety of our clients and their 
customers and working closely with them to 
navigate economic uncertainty is a demonstration 

5

We are also investing in the tools and resources to 
create a high-performance culture that will allow us 
to attract, retain and develop quality people across 
our organization and create opportunities for top 
talent while being leaders in cost competitiveness. 
Our culture is one where employees are focused on 
delivering on their goals, where they feel engaged, 
empowered and are recognized for outstanding work 
and where everyone is included and has a voice.

As part of our integration work and informed by a 
multitude of touchpoints from our people across 
Canada, we developed and are implementing a 
new set of values that will create an environment for 
delivering market leading performance in quality, 
health and safety, operational delivery, financial 
performance and client experience.  The values are 
discussed below.

Accountability - We don’t just walk by. We 
own our successes and failures. If we see 
something wrong, we act to resolve it. If we 
see something right, we celebrate it.

Diversity - Everyone has a voice. Sharing is 
how we learn. It’s how we make progress and 
move forward as a team.

Partnership - Service is what we sell. By 
asking for, listening to and acting on client 
feedback, we create long-term, successful 
partnerships that will help us grow our 
business.

Trust - Our actions speak louder than our 
words. Earned through clarity, compassion 
and competence. It is our commitment to our 
clients, our colleagues and our communities.

These values will guide us as we strive to deliver for 
each of our key stakeholder groups – employees, 
clients and shareholders. Our future is bright. We are 
delivering on our promises to you our stakeholders: 
profitable revenue growth, wise and strategic 
spending, high-quality client-centric products and 
services and a great place to work.

I want to thank again all those who have supported us 
over the previous year as we have undertaken both an 
exciting company transition and a health event of a 
magnitude which most of us hopefully will never see 
again. It has been my privilege as CEO to work directly 
with many of our stakeholders and navigate through 
these challenging times.

John Mac Cuish
Chief Executive Officer

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS

December 31, 2020 

This MD&A has been prepared as at March 10, 2021.

Management’s	Discussion	and	Analysis
Three	months	and	years	ended	December	31,	2020	and	2019

The	 following	 Management’s	 Discussion	 and	 Analysis	 (“MD&A”)	 prepared	 as	 at	 March	 10,	 2021	 for	 Dexterra	 Group	 Inc.	
(“Dexterra	Group”	or	the	“Corporation”),	provides	information	concerning	Dexterra	Group’s	financial	condition	and	results	of	
operations.	This	MD&A	should	be	read	in	conjunction	with	the	Corporation's	audited	Consolidated	Financial	Statements	("2020	
Financial	 Statements")	 for	 the	 year	 ended	 December	 31,	 2020	 and	 2019.	 Additional	 information	 about	 the	 Corporation,	
including	its	Annual	Information	Form	("AIF")	for	the	year	ended	December	31,	2020	can	be	found	on	SEDAR	and	sedar.com.	
Some	of	the	information	contained	in	this	MD&A	contains	forward-looking	statements	that	involve	risks	and	uncertainties.	See	
“Forward-Looking	Information”	for	a	discussion	of	the	uncertainties,	risks	and	assumptions	associated	with	these	statements.	
Actual	results	may	differ	materially	from	those	indicated	or	underlying	forward-looking	information	as	a	result	of	various	factors	
including	those	described	elsewhere	in	this	MD&A	and	AIF.	

On	 November	 13,	 2020,	 the	 shareholders	 of	 the	 Corporation	 approved	 a	 name	 change	 to	 Dexterra	 Group	 Inc.	 (previously	
Horizon	North	Logistics	Inc.	("Horizon	North")).	The	common	shares	now	trade	on	the	Toronto	Stock	Exchange	(“TSX”)	under	
the	ticker	symbol	“DXT”.	Adopting	a	new	corporate	name	reflects	the	corporate	transformation	into	a	pan-Canadian,	diversified	
support	services	organization	and	marks	a	new	phase	in	the	Corporation's	history	as	it	focuses	on	delivering	quality	solutions	for	
the	creation,	management,	and	operation	of	infrastructure.

The	 accompanying	 2020	 Financial	 Statements	 of	 Dexterra	 Group	 as	 at	 and	 for	 the	 year	 ended	 December	 31,	 2020	 and

Revenue	for	the	year	ended	December	31,	2020	includes	$6.6	million	related	to	amounts	awarded	on	two	legal	proceedings	with	former	customers.
Please	refer	to	"Non-GAAP	measures"	for	the	definition	of	EBITDA	and	Adjusted	EBITDA.
Net	 earnings	 for	 the	 three	 months	 and	 year	 ended	 December	 31,	 2020	 includes	 $(4.2)	 million	 and	 $29.9	 million,	 respectively	 Bargain	 purchase	 (reduction)/gain	 resulting	 from	 the	
Acquisition.
Includes	$4.2	million	and	$32.9	million	of	pre-tax	Canada	Emergency	Wage	Subsidy	for	the	three	months	and	year	ended	December	31,	2020,	respectively	.	
Non-recurring	items	excluded	from	Adjusted	EBITDA	for	Q4	2020	relate	to	legal	costs	recovered	through	legal	proceedings	with	a	former	customer	and	for	the	year	ended	December	31,	
2020	incrementally	adjusts	for	acquisition	costs	and	the	revenue	in	item	(1)	above.	
All	share	and	per	share	data	presented	has	been	retroactively	adjusted	to	reflect	the	share	Consolidation	discussed	in	the	"Outstanding	Shares"	section	of	the	MD&A.	

Non-GAAP	measures		

Certain	 measures	 in	 this	 MD&A	 do	 not	 have	 any	 standardized	 meaning	 as	 prescribed	 by	 generally	 accepted	 accounting	
principles	(“GAAP”)	and,	therefore,	are	considered	non-GAAP	measures.	Non-GAAP	measures	include	"EBITDA",	calculated	as	
earnings	 before	 interest,	 taxes,	 depreciation,	 amortization,	 depreciation	 from	 equity	 investment,	 share	 based	 compensation,	
bargain	purchase	gain	(reduction)	and	gain/loss	on	disposal	of	property,	plant	and	equipment,	"Adjusted	EBITDA",	calculated	as	
EBITDA	 before	 acquisition	 costs,	 other	 revenue	 and	 non-recurring	 items,	 “EBITDA	 as	 a	 %	 of	 revenue”,	 calculated	 as	 EBITDA	
divided	 by	 revenue,	 and	 "Free	 Cash	 Flow",	 calculated	 as	 net	 cash	 flows	 from	 (used	 in)	 operating	 activities,	 less	 maintenance	
capital	 expenditures,	 payments	 for	 lease	 liabilities	 and	 finance	 costs,	 to	 provide	 investors	 with	 supplemental	 measures	 of	
Dexterra	Group's	operating	performance	and	thus	highlight	trends	in	its	core	businesses	that	may	not	otherwise	be	apparent	
when	 relying	 solely	 on	 GAAP	 financial	 measures.	 Dexterra	 Group	 also	 believes	 that	 securities	 analysts,	 investors	 and	 other	
interested	 parties	 frequently	 use	 non-GAAP	 measures	 in	 the	 evaluation	 of	 issuers.	 Dexterra	 Group’s	 management	 also	 uses	
non-GAAP	 measures	 in	 order	 to	 facilitate	 operating	 performance	 comparisons	 from	 period	 to	 period,	 to	 prepare	 annual	
operating	budgets,	and	to	determine	components	of	management	compensation.	

These	 measures	 are	 regularly	 reviewed	 by	 the	 Chief	 Operating	 Decision	 Maker	 and	 provide	 investors	 with	 an	 alternative	
method	for	assessing	the	Corporation’s	operating	results	in	a	manner	that	is	focused	on	the	performance	of	the	Corporation’s	
ongoing	 operations	 and	 to	 provide	 a	 more	 consistent	 basis	 for	 comparison	 between	 periods.	 These	 measures	 should	 not	 be	
construed	as	alternatives	to	net	earnings	and	total	comprehensive	income	determined	in	accordance	with	GAAP	as	an	indicator	
of	the	Corporation’s	performance.	The	method	of	calculating	these	measures	may	differ	from	other	entities	and	accordingly,

may	not	be	comparable	to	measures	used	by	other	entities.	For	a	reconciliation	of	these	non-GAAP	measures	to	their	nearest	
measure	under	GAAP	please	refer	to	"Reconciliation	of	non-GAAP	measures".

Management's	Discussion	and	Analysis	

Core	Business	

Dexterra	 Group	 is	 a	 publicly	 listed	 corporation	 (TSX:	 DXT.TO)	 delivering	 quality	 solutions	 to	 create,	 manage	 and	 operate	
infrastructure,	offering	both	experience	and	regional	expertise	across	Canada	under	its	three	operating	business	units:	Facilities	
Management,	Workforce	Accommodations,	Forestry	and	Energy	Services	("WAFES"),	and	Modular	Solutions.	

Our	 Facilities	 Management	 business	 delivers	 operations	 and	 maintenance	 solutions	 for	 built	 assets	 and	 infrastructure	 in	 the	
public	 and	 private	 sectors,	 including	 aviation,	 defense,	 retail,	 healthcare,	 education	 and	 government.	 Our	 WAFES	 business	
provides	 a	 full	 range	 of	 workforce	 accommodations	 solutions,	 forestry	 services	 and	 access	 solutions	 to	 clients	 in	 the	 mining,	
forestry,	construction	and	other	natural	resource	sectors.	Our	Modular	Solutions	business	integrates	modern	design	concepts	
with	off-site	manufacturing	processes	to	produce	high-quality	building	solutions	for	social	and	affordable	housing,	commercial,	
residential	and	industrial	clients.		As	a	result	of	our	diverse	product	and	service	offerings,	Dexterra	Group	is	uniquely	positioned	
to	meet	the	needs	of	our	customers	in	numerous	sectors	across	Canada.	

On	 May	 29,	 2020,	 Dexterra	 Group	 (previously	 Horizon	 North)	 entered	 into	 a	 transaction	 (the	 "Acquisition")	 with	 10647802	
Canada	Limited,	operating	as	Dexterra	Integrated	Facilities	Management	(“Dexterra”),	a	subsidiary	of	Fairfax	Financial	Holdings	
Limited	 ("Fairfax	 Financial").	 Pursuant	 to	 the	 Acquisition,	 the	 Corporation	 acquired	 all	 of	 the	 outstanding	 common	 shares	 of	
Dexterra	and	in	exchange	issued	31,785,993	common	shares	of	Dexterra	Group	to	Dexterra’s	sole	shareholder,	9477179	Canada	
Inc.	 (“Dexterra	 Parent”),	 a	 wholly-owned	 subsidiary	 of	 Fairfax	 Financial.	 Accordingly,	 Fairfax	 Financial	 indirectly	 owns	 a	 49%	
interest	 in	 the	 combined	 Corporation,	 while	 existing	 shareholders	 of	 the	 Corporation	 maintain	 a	 51%	 interest.	 Prior	 to	 the	
Acquisition,	Fairfax	Financial	had	no	ownership	interest	in	Dexterra	Group.	

For	accounting	purposes,	the	Acquisition	constituted	a	reverse	acquisition	that	involved	a	change	of	control	of	Dexterra	Group	
and	 a	 business	 combination	 of	 Horizon	 North	 and	 Dexterra,	 to	 form	 a	 new	 corporation	 that	 now	 carries	 on	 operations	 as	
Dexterra	Group	Inc.	Based	on	the	guidance	in	IFRS	3,	Business	Combinations	("IFRS	3"),	it	was	determined	that	Horizon	North	
was	the	accounting	acquiree	and	Dexterra	was	the	accounting	acquirer,	as	Fairfax	Financial,	the	sole	shareholder	of	Dexterra,	
now	 controls	 the	 Corporation.	 As	 a	 result,	 2019	 comparative	 information	 included	 herein	 is	 solely	 Dexterra.	 Horizon	 North	
financial	results	are	included	subsequent	to	the	Acquisition	closing	date.	Refer	to	Note	4	of	the	2020	Financial	Statements	for	
further	information.	

Consolidated	Results	for	2020	

Annual	sales	totaled	$477.8	million	compared	to	$261.1	million	in	the	prior	year,	an	increase	of	$216.7	million,	primarily	due	to	
the	 Acquisition	 and	 partially	 offset	 by	 the	 pandemic	 impact	 on	 the	 legacy	 Facilities	 Management	 results.	 The	 Corporation	
reported	consolidated	net	earnings	of	$64.5	million	compared	to	consolidated	net	earnings	of	$9.3	million	in	the	prior	year.	The	
net	 earnings	 increase	 of	 $55.2	 million	 includes	 a	 $29.9	 million	 non-cash	 bargain	 purchase	 gain	 ("BPG")	 related	 to	 the	
Acquisition.	This	BPG	was	based	on	the	fair	value	of	the	consideration	received	by	Fairfax	Financial	which	was	equal	to	the	share	
price	at	the	close	date	in	the	amount	of	$100.9	million.	The	BPG	equates	to	the	difference	between	the	estimated	fair	value	of	
the	net	assets	acquired	of	Horizon	North	of	$130.8	million	and	the	consideration	received	by	Fairfax	Financial,	as	disclosed	in	
the	2020	Financial	Statements.

Includes	$1.3	million	of	legal	cost	recoveries	in	Q4	2020	which	was	applied	against	expenses	and	relates	to	the	legal	settlement	award	in	Q3	2020	and	for	the	year	ended	December	31,	
2020	incrementally	adjusts	for	transaction	costs	and	$6.6	million	awarded	in	two	legal	proceedings.

Facilities	Management

For	2020,	Facilities	Management	revenues	were	$147.2	million	and	decreased	by	$19.6	million	or	12%	from	the	$166.8	million	
in	2019.	Facilities	Management	revenue	decreased	primarily	due	to	the	temporary	closure	or	reduction	in	operations	at	certain	
facilities	as	a	result	of	COVID-19.	In	particular,	the	aviation	and	retail	sectors	decreased	by	$32.1	million	compared	to	2019.	This	
was	partially	offset	by	new	business.

EBITDA	as	a	percentage	of	revenue	increased	to	14%	in	2020	from	6%	in	2019	due	to	the	inclusion	of	$13.7	million	CEWS	in	
2020.	When	adjusting	for	wage	subsidies,	EBITDA	margin	decreased	to	5%	for	2020	in	comparison	to	6%	for	the	same	period	in	
the	 prior	 year,	 mainly	 due	 to	 the	 increased	 costs	 in	 the	 healthcare	 and	 defense	 sector,	 and	 other	 costs	 associated	 with	
operating	 in	 COVID-19	 environment.	 See	 "Non-GAAP	 measures"	 above	 for	 the	 definition	 of	 "EBITDA	 as	 a	 percentage	 of	
revenue".	

Facilities	Management	revenues	in	Q4	2020	were	$38.5	million,	which	represents	a	decrease	of	$6.2	million	or	14%	from	the	
$44.7	million	in	Q4	2019.	Facilities	Management	revenue	decreased	primarily	due	to	lower	aviation	and	retail	revenue,	which	
decreased	by	$8.4	million	compared	to	Q4	2019.	This	was	partially	offset	by	new	business.	

EBITDA	as	a	percentage	of	revenue	was	consistent	at	7%	in	both	Q4	2020	and	Q4	2019	due	to	the	inclusion	of	$1.0	million	in	
CEWS	in	Q4	2020	which	offset	the	decrease	in	revenue	from	Q4	2019.	When	adjusting	for	wage	subsidies,	EBITDA	margin	was	

1 Backlog	is	the	total	value	of	work	that	has	not	yet	been	completed	that:	(a)	has	a	high	certainty	of	being	performed	based	on	the	existence	of	an	executed	contract	or	work	order	specifying	
job	scope,	value	and	timing;	or	(b)	has	been	awarded	to	Dexterra	Group,	as	evidenced	by	an	executed	letter	of	award	or	agreement,	describing	the	general	job	scope,	value	and	timing	of	such	
work,	and	where	the	finalization	of	a	formal	contract	in	respect	of	such	work	is	reasonably	assured	and	expects	to	be	recognized	in	the	next	12	months.

Three	months	and	years	ended	December	31,	2020	and	2019

4%	for	Q4	2020	or	3%	lower	than	Q4	2019,	due	to	a	restructuring	and	reorganization	in	Q4	2020,	the	increased	costs	in	the	
healthcare	and	defense	sector,	and	other	costs	associated	with	operating	in	a	COVID-19	environment.	

Direct	Costs

Direct	 Costs	 for	 the	 year	 ended	 December	 31,	 2020	 were	 $121.8	 million	 compared	 to	 $153.7	 million	 in	 2019,	 a	 decrease	 of	
$31.9	million	or	21%	mainly	due	to	the	inclusion	of	$13.7	million	CEWS	in	2020	and	decreased	activity.	When	adjusting	for	wage	
subsidies,	direct	costs	as	a	percentage	of	revenue	were	at	92%	in	2020	which	is	consistent	with	the	prior	year.	

Direct	Costs	for	Q4	2020	were	$34.8	million	compared	to	$40.7	million	in	Q4	2019,	a	decrease	of	$5.9	million	or	14%,	mainly	
due	to	the	inclusion	of	$1.0	million	in	CEWS	in	Q4	2020	and	the	decrease	in	costs	associated	with	the	lower	revenue.	When	
adjusting	for	wage	subsidies,	direct	costs	as	a	percentage	of	revenue	were	at	93%	in	Q4	2020	compared	to	91%	in	Q4	2019.

Workforce	Accommodations,	Forestry	and	Energy	Services	("WAFES")

WAFES	is	comprised	of	two	revenue	streams:	Workforce	accommodations	&	Forestry	and	Energy	Services.

WAFES	 revenue	 performance	 has	 been	 strong	 in	 a	 COVID-19	 environment.	Revenues	 from	 the	 WAFES	 segment	 for	 the	 year	
ended	December	31,	2020	were	$234.7	million,	an	increase	of	$140.4	million	compared	to	same	period	in	2019.	The	increase	in	
segment	 revenues	 was	 primarily	 driven	 by	 the	 Acquisition	 which	 added	 $132.5	 million	 of	 revenue.	 Also,	 WAFES	 had	 other	
revenue	of	$6.6	million	related	to	amounts	awarded	for	legal	proceedings	with	two	former	customers.	

For	2020,	EBITDA	as	a	percentage	of	revenue	increased	to	24%	from	12%	in	the	same	period	in	2019	mainly	due	to	the	inclusion	
of	 $14.7	 million	 CEWS	 and	 $6.6	 million	 in	 legal	 settlements.	 When	 adjusting	 for	 wage	 subsidies	 and	 the	 legal	 settlements,	
EBITDA	as	a	percentage	of	revenue	is	at	15.3%	which	is	an	increase	of	3%	compared	to	2019.	This	increase	in	margin	is	related	
to	stronger	occupancy	at	higher	margin	camps.

Revenues	from	the	WAFES	segment	for	Q4	2020	were	$78.2	million,	an	increase	of	$58.8	million	compared	to	Q4	2019.	The	
increase	in	Q4	2020	segment	revenues	was	primarily	driven	by	the	Acquisition	which	added	$49.6	million	of	revenue	growth	in	
catering	and	infrastructure	install	and	rental	activities.

EBITDA	as	a	percentage	of	revenue	increased	to	18%	in	Q4	2020	from	9%	in	Q4	2019	mainly	due	to	the	inclusion	of	$2.8	million	
CEWS	and	stronger	occupancy	at	higher	margin	camps.	When	adjusting	for	wage	subsidies,	EBITDA	as	a	percentage	of	revenue	
is	 15%	 which	 is	 an	 increase	 of	 6%	 compared	 to	 Q4	 2019.	 This	 increase	 in	 margin	 is	 related	 to	 stronger	 occupancy	 at	 higher	
margin	camps.	

Workforce	accommodations	and	forestry	revenue		

Revenues	 from	 workforce	 accommodations	 and	 forestry	 for	 2020	 were	 $216.3	 million,	 an	 increase	 of	 $122.0	 million	 when	
compared	to	2019.	The	increase	in	revenues	was	primarily	driven	by	the	Acquisition.	When	adjusting	2020	revenue	to	remove	
acquisition	related	revenue	of	$114.1	million,	revenue	for	the	workforce	accommodation	and	forestry	increased	by	$7.9	million.	
The	increase	in	revenue	was	primarily	due	to	increased	activity	under	catering,	infrastructure	install	and	rental	activities	as	a	
result	 of	 new	 contracts	 that	 started	 in	 Q1	 2020,	 which	 was	 partially	 offset	 by	 a	 decrease	 in	 seasonal	 work	 under	 forestry	
services,	 mainly	 for	 fire	 camps	 and	 firefighting	 services	 and	 reductions	 in	 revenue	 associated	 with	 temporary	 closure	 and	
reduction	in	operations	at	certain	client	facilities	as	a	result	of	COVID-19.	

Revenues	 from	 workforce	 accommodations	 and	 forestry	 for	 Q4	 2020	 were	 $71.8	 million	 and	 increased	 by	 $52.3	 million	
compared	 to	 Q4	 2019.	 The	 increase	 in	 Q4	 2020	 was	 mainly	 driven	 by	 the	 Acquisition.	 When	 adjusting	 Q4	 2020	 revenue	 to	
remove	Acquisition	related	revenue	of	$43.1	million,	revenue	for	the	workforce	accommodation	and	forestry	increased	by	$9.2	
million	to	$28.6	million.	This	was	due	to	increased	activity	in	catering	and	infrastructure	install	and	rental	activities.	

Energy	Services			

Revenues	from	energy	services	were	$6.5	million	and	$18.4	million	for	the	three	months	and	year	ended	December	31,	2020,	
respectively.	The	energy	services	business	was	part	of	the	Acquisition.	Revenue	for	energy	services	is	primarily	from	mat	and	
relocatable	structures	rentals	combined	with	equipment	sales	and	installation.	The	Corporation	has	temporarily	closed	the	mat	
manufacturing	plant	due	to	lower	business	activity,	however,	the	relocatables	structures	business	experienced	high	utilization	
throughout	2020.

Direct	Costs

Direct	 costs	 in	 the	 WAFES	 business	 unit	 for	 the	 year	 ended	 December	 31,	 2020	 were	 $175.1	 million	 or	 75%	 of	 revenue	
compared	to	$81.3	million	or	86%	of	revenue	for	2019.	Direct	costs	in	2020	includes	$101.3	million	of	costs	associated	with	the	
acquired	 operations,	 partially	 offset	 by	 $14.7	 million	 of	 CEWS.	 When	 adjusting	 for	 wage	 subsidies,	 direct	 costs	 were	 81%	 of	

11

Management’s	Discussion	and	Analysis
Three	months	and	years	ended	December	31,	2020	and	2019

revenue,	 which	 is	 a	 decrease	 of	 6%	 compared	 to	 the	 prior	 year.	 This	 decrease	 as	 a	 percentage	 of	 revenue	 is	 the	 result	 of	
increased	revenue	from	higher	margin	services	and	Acquisition	synergies	achieved	in	by	combining	the	WAFES	operations.	

Direct	costs	in	the	WAFES	business	unit	for	Q4	2020	were	$63.0	million	or	80%	of	revenue	compared	to	$17.3	million	or	89%	of	
revenue	for	Q4	2019.	Direct	costs	in	Q4	2020	includes	$41.1	million	of	costs	from	the	acquired	operations,	partially	offset	by	
$2.8	 million	 of	 CEWS.	 When	 adjusting	 for	 wage	 subsidies,	 direct	 costs	 were	 84%	 of	 revenue,	 which	 is	 a	 decrease	 of	 5%	
compared	to	the	prior	period	and	reflects	acquisition	synergies,	partially	offset	by	the	lower	volumes	in	Q4	when	compared	to	
the	rest	of	2020.	

Modular	Solutions	

The	 Modular	 Solutions	 business	 was	 part	 of	 the	 Acquisition	 which	 closed	 on	 May	 29,	 2020.	 Modular	 Solutions	 segment	
revenues	 for	 Q4	 2020	 and	 the	 year	 ended	 December	 31,	 2020	 were	 $48.2	 million	 and	 $98.8	 million,	 respectively.	 These	
revenues	are	primarily	focused	on	social	and	affordable	housing,	industrial	projects	and	portable	classrooms.

EBITDA	for	Q4	2020	and	for	the	2020	post-Acquisition	period,	were	$4.4	million	and	$10.6	million,	respectively	which	included	
$0.4	 million	 and	 $3.3	 million	 of	 CEWS	 impact.	 The	 results	 reflect	 the	 focus	 on	 social	 and	 affordable	 housing	 projects	 where	
performance	and	execution	have	been	strong	as	well	as	the	positive	impact	of	cost	reductions	and	improved	efficiencies	in	our	
western	 Canada	 operations	 combined	 with	 continued	 strong	 performance	 from	 eastern	 Canada	 as	 we	 improved	 resource	
utilization.

A	key	metric	for	the	Modular	Solutions	segment	is	the	backlog	of	projects	and	timing	of	backlog	execution.	The	focus	for	this	
business	 unit	 will	 be	 to	 secure	 and	 increase	 backlog,	 which	 was	 $61.2	 million	 for	 social	 housing	 at	 the	 end	 of	 Q4	 2020.	
Additionally,	 Modular	 Solutions	 has	 recurring	 modular	 business	 beyond	 social	 housing	 worth	 approximately	 $40	 million	 per	
annum.

Direct	Costs

Direct	costs	are	comprised	of	labour,	raw	materials	and	transportation	which	vary	directly	with	revenues,	and	a	relatively	fixed	
component	 which	 includes	 rent,	 utilities	 and	 the	 design	 and	 technical	 services	 required	 in	 the	 bidding	 cycle	 and	 post	 award	
manufacturing	and	installation	of	the	product.	

Direct	costs	were	89%	and	86%	of	revenue	for	the	three	months	and	year	ended	December	31,	2020,	respectively.	Direct	costs	
are	 driven	 by	 labour	 and	 were	 positively	 impacted	 by	 $0.4	 million	 and	 $3.3	 million	 of	 CEWS	 for	 the	 three	 months	 and	 year	
ended	December	31,	2020,	respectively.

Other	Items	

Selling,	General	&	Administrative	Expense

Selling,	general	&	administrative	expenses	are	comprised	of	corporate	costs	reflecting	head	and	corporate	office	costs	including	
the	 executive	 officers	 and	 directors	 of	 the	 Corporation,	 and	 shared	 services	 including	 information	 technology,	 corporate	
accounting	staff	and	the	associated	costs	of	supporting	a	public	company.	

Selling,	 general	 &	 administrative	 expenses	 for	 the	 year	 ended	 December	 31,	 2020	 were	 $22.1	 million,	 an	 increase	 of	 $12.6	
million	compared	to	2019,	mainly	due	to	the	Acquisition,	acquisition	costs	of	$1.7	million	incurred	for	the	Acquisition	and	higher	
business	 development	 costs	 to	 support	 future	 growth,	 which	 was	 partially	 offset	 by	 non-recurring	 recoveries	 of	$1.2	 million	
recorded	 in	 Q4	 2020	 related	 to	 legal	 costs	 recovered	 through	 legal	 proceedings	 with	 a	 former	 customer	 and	 CEWS	 of	 $1.2	
million.	After	adjusting	for	acquisition	costs,	non-recurring	items	and	wage	subsidies,	selling	and	administrative	expenses	were	
5%	of	total	revenue	in	2020,	which	is	a	1%	increase	from	2019.	

Selling,	 general	 &	 administrative	 expenses	 for	Q4	 2020	 were	 $6.2	 million,	 an	 increase	 of	 $3.4	 million	 compared	 to	 Q4	 2019,	
mainly	 due	 to	 the	 Acquisition,	 which	 was	 partially	 offset	 by	 the	 impacts	 of	 the	 items	 described	 above.	 After	 adjusting	 for	
transaction	costs,	non-recurring	items	and	wage	subsidies,	selling	and	administrative	expenses	were	5%	of	total	revenue	in	Q4	
2020	and	4%	in	Q4	2019.

Three	months	and	years	ended	December	31,	2020	and	2019

For	2020,	depreciation	and	amortization	was	$25.1	million,	an	increase	of	$21.2	million	compared	to	2019,	due	to	the	increase	
in	 Property,	 plant	 and	 equipment	 and	 lease	 liabilities	 from	 the	 Acquisition.	 For	Q4	 2020,	 depreciation	 and	 amortization	 was	
$11.1	 million,	 an	 increase	 of	 $10.2	 million	 compared	 to	 Q4	 2019,	 for	 the	 same	 reasons	 as	 the	 increase	 during	 the	 year.	 The	
Corporation's	plan	for	capital	light	operations	will	reduce	depreciation	expense	in	upcoming	years.		

Bargain	Purchase	Gain	("BPG")

A	BPG	of	$29.9	million	was	recorded	for	the	year	ended	December	31,	2020.	The	BPG	equates	to	the	difference	between	the	
estimated	 fair	 value	 of	 the	 net	 assets	 acquired	 of	 Horizon	 North	 of	$130.8	 million	 and	 the	 consideration	 received	 by	 Fairfax	
Financial,	as	disclosed	in	Note	4	"Business	combination"	of	the	2020	Financial	Statements.	The	BPG	was	reduced	by	$4.2	million	
in	Q4	2020	which	was	primarily	due	to	a	further	writedown	of	the	fair	value	of	the	inventory	related	to	the	Fairfield	by	Marriott	
hotel	 project	 in	 Kitimat,	 British	 Columbia.	 The	 pandemic	 continues	 to	 have	 a	 significant	 impact	 on	 the	 hospitality	 industry	
affecting	 the	 Corporation's	 ability	 to	 obtain	 a	 buyer	 for	 the	 hotel	 project.	 Manufacturing	 for	 the	 hotel	 project	 was	 stopped	
earlier	in	the	year	and	the	Corporation	is	assessing	amicable	resolutions	to	obligations	associated	with	the	hotel	project,	which	
have	been	impacted	by	the	pandemic.	

Finance	costs	

Finance	costs	include	interest	on	loans	and	borrowings,	interest	on	lease	liabilities	and	accretion.	For	2020,	finance	costs	were	
$4.6	million,	an	increase	of	$4.4	million	compared	to	2019.	This	related	to	the	increase	in	loans	and	borrowings	as	well	as	the	
lease	liabilities	from	the	Acquisition.	For	Q4	2020,	finance	costs	were	$1.5	million,	an	increase	of	$1.5	million	compared	to	Q4	
2019.	

The	 effective	 interest	 rate	 on	 loans	 and	 borrowings	 for	 the	 year	 ended	 December	 31,	 2020	 was	 4.3%.	 The	 interest	 rate	 is	
impacted	by	the	debt	level	and	tiered	interest	rate	structure	of	the	credit	facility.	The	rate	ranges	from	bank	prime	rate	plus	
1.00%	to	3.25%.	

Goodwill	and	intangible	assets

Goodwill	of	$98.6	million	is	made	up	of	$96.0	million	recognized	on	the	acquisition	of	certain	assets	and	associated	liabilities	
comprising	the	services	business	 carried	on	 by	 Carillion	 Canada	and	 certain	 of	its	affiliates	 (the	 “Carillion	 Services	Assets”)	in	
2018	and	$2.6	million	recognized	on	the	acquisition	of	the	Powerful	Group	of	Companies	in	2019.	Goodwill	is	not	amortized.	
The	goodwill	relating	to	the	Carillion	Services	Assets	is	deductible	for	tax	purposes	via	amortization.	The	Corporation	concluded	
there	was	no	impairment	of	its	goodwill	or	intangibles	at	December	31,	2020.	

Gain/Loss	on	disposal

For	2020,	the	loss	on	disposal	was	$0.04	million	compared	to	a	gain	on	disposal	of	$0.2	million	in	2019.	For	Q4	2020,	the	loss	on	
disposal	 was	 $0.2	 million	 compared	 to	 a	 loss	 on	 disposal	 of	 $0.3	 million	 in	 Q4	 2019.	 The	 gains	 and	 losses	 on	 disposals	 are	
typically	generated	from	ongoing	fleet	management	of	operational	assets	and	rationalization	of	idle	assets.	

Non-controlling	interest

Dexterra	Group	owns	49%	of	Tangmaarvik	Inland	Camp	Services	Inc.	("Tangmaarvik")	and	controls	its	operations.	As	a	result,	
the	results	of	Tangmaarvik	are	consolidated	with	the	results	of	Dexterra	Group	and	a	non-controlling	interest	is	recorded.	For	
the	three	months	and	year	ended	December	31,	2020	non-controlling	interest	of	$0.1	million	and	$0.4	million	was	recorded,	
respectively,	compared	to	$0.1	million	and	$0.3	million	in	the	same	periods	of	the	prior	year.

Joint	Venture	

Dexterra	 Group	 owns	 49%	 of	 Gitxaala	 Horizon	 North	 Services	 LP	 ("Gitxaala").	 This	 equity	 investment	 is	 recorded	 at	 cost	 and		
increases	 or	 decreases	 to	 recognize	 the	 Corporation's	 share	 of	 the	 profit	 or	 loss	 of	 the	 entity.	 Earnings	 for	 the	 year	 ended	
December	31,	2020	were	$0.7	million.	The	transactions	with	Gitxaala	are	described	in	Note	23	of	the	2020	Financial	Statements.	

Income	taxes

For	the	year	ended	December	31,	2020,	the	Corporation's	effective	income	tax	rate	was	15.9%	(2019	-	26.2%).	The	lower	tax	
rate	for	2020	was	primarily	due	to	impact	of	the	non-taxable	BPG.	

The	Corporation	has	non-capital	losses	for	Canadian	tax	purposes	of	$76.3	million	available	to	reduce	future	taxable	income	in	
Canada,	and	non-capital	losses	for	United	States	tax	purposes	of	$0.8	million	available	to	reduce	future	taxable	income	in	the	
United	States.	The	Corporation	expects	to	fully	utilize	these	losses	before	their	expiry	except	as	noted	below.

Deferred	tax	assets	of	$2.0	million	have	not	been	recognized	in	respect	of	$7.2	million	of	tax	losses	because	it	is	not	probable	
that	future	taxable	profit	will	be	generated	against	which	the	subsidiary	of	the	Corporation	can	utilize	the	benefits.	

The	Corporation	has	completed	the	first	phase	of	its	restructuring	plan	to	reduce	cash	taxes	payable	in	2021	and	future	years.

Management’s	Discussion	and	Analysis
Three	months	and	years	ended	December	31,	2020	and	2019

COVID-19	Pandemic

On	March	11,	2020,	the	World	Health	Organization	declared	COVID-19	as	a	pandemic.	Some	of	Dexterra	Group’s	businesses	are	
being	classified	as	“essential	services”	in	various	cities	and	regions	and	are	playing	an	important	role	in	fighting	the	COVID-19	
virus.	Dexterra	Group	and	its	employees	are	playing	a	vital	role	in	keeping	client	operations	and	infrastructure	safe	and	virus	
free.	The	safety	of	employees	and	customers	continues	to	be	a	top	priority.

Dexterra	 Group’s	 financial	 results	 continue	 to	 be	 impacted	 significantly	 as	 a	 result	 of	 the	 COVID-19	 pandemic.	 The	 Facilities	
Management	segment	continues	to	experience	reductions	in	revenue	as	a	result	of	reduced	services,	mainly	in	the	Aviation	and	
Retail	markets.	The	WAFES	and	Modular	Solutions	segments	have	seen	less	significant	declines	in	revenue	but	have	still	been	
impacted	due	to	lower	activity	in	camp/catering	services,	the	British	Columbia	government	shutdowns	in	early	2021	and	the	
delay	 of	 social	 and	 affordable	 housing	 projects	 and	 timing	 of	 portable	 classroom	 builds.	 New	 business	 opportunities	 in	 the	
pipeline	have	also	been	affected	and	are	expected	to	shift	to	future	periods.	It	is	impossible	to	forecast	the	duration	and	full	
scope	 of	 the	 economic	 downturn	 caused	 by	 the	 COVID-19	 pandemic	 and	 the	 related	 consequences	 it	 will	 have	 on	 the	
Corporation	and	its	business,	including	the	potential	impact	on	its	services	once	these	social	distancing	policies	are	lifted.	At	this	
time,	 it	 is	 unknown	 to	 the	 Corporation	 how	 the	 COVID-19	 pandemic	 will	 evolve	 and	 impact	 demand	 for	 the	 Corporation’s	
services,	 which	 may	 lead	 to	 lower	 revenue,	 changes	 to	 the	 federal	 and	 provincial	 governments’	 support	 programs	 for	
businesses	 to	 help	 offset	 the	 impact	 of	 COVID-19,	 impact	 on	 the	 Corporation’s	 customers	 and	 their	 solvency	 and	 on	 the	
Corporation's	supply	chain	and	safety	of	its	workforce.

The	 Corporation	 is	 expecting	 to	 continue	 to	 experience	 lower	 revenue	 in	 2021,	 due	 to	 the	 impacts	 of	 the	 pandemic	 and	 the	
restrictions	 put	 in	 place	 by	 both	 the	 provincial	 and	 federal	 governments.	 The	 management	 team	 has	 implemented	 plans	 to	
modify	 the	 cost	 structure	 to	 mitigate	 the	 impact	 of	 COVID-19,	 while	 continuing	 to	 provide	 essential	 services	 to	 its	 clients.	
Additionally,	the	Corporation	has	applied	for	government	support	programs	and	qualified	for	$4.2	million	and	$32.9	million	of	
CEWS	 funding	 for	 the	 three	 months	 and	 year	 ended	 December	 31,	 2020,	 respectively.	 Based	 on	 the	 current	 changes	 to	 the	
CEWS	program,	the	benefit	to	the	Corporation	of	any	subsidies	after	December	31,	2020	is	declining.	

Outlook			

Operations	Outlook

The	 Corporation	 is	 focused	 on	 growth	 post	 pandemic,	 with	 both	 organic	 growth	 and	 growth	 through	 selective	 accretive	
acquisitions.	Timing	of	the	acquisitions	is	unknown	and	will	depend	on	opportunities.	

The	Corporation	significantly	improved	its	leverage	and	liquidity	position	subsequent	to	the	Acquisition	as	well	as	increased	its	
available	 capital	 by	 negotiating	 the	 amended	 and	 extended	 credit	 facility	 with	 an	 increased	 limit	 to	 $175	 million.	 Since	 the	
Acquisition,	 approximately	 $53	 million	 on	 its	 credit	 facility	 has	 been	 repaid.	 As	 at	 December	 31,	 2020,	 the	 Corporation	 had	
$81.6	 million	 of	 available	 liquidity	 which	 provides	 it	 with	 significant	 financial	 flexibility.	 Debt	 reduction	 will	 pause	 in	 the	 first	
quarter	 of	 2021	 due	 to	 an	 increased	 COVID-19	 impact	 on	 our	 WAFES	 business	 in	 British	 Columbia,	 and	 the	 NRB	 Modular	
Solutions	plant	expansion	discussed	below.	

With	 the	 recent	 announcement	 by	 Canada’s	 federal	 government	 and	 CMHC	 to	 provide	 $1	 billion	 of	 funding	 to	 various	 cities	
across	the	country	for	rapid	housing,	the	Corporation	is	in	a	strong	position	to	win	a	significant	portion	of	that	business.	As	such,	
the	 Corporation	 has	 leased	 an	 NRB	 Modular	 Solutions	 plant	 in	 Cambridge,	 Ontario.	 The	 estimated	 capital	 cost	 to	 build	 the	
factory	 is	 $7	 million	 and	 estimated	 incremental	 annual	 production	 capacity	 exceeds	 $100	 million	 annually,	 though	 the	
investment	plan	assumes	a	graduated	ramp	up.	Continued	growth	in	Modular	solutions	revenues	in	the	back	half	of	2021	and	
beyond	is	expected.

In	the	Facilities	Management	business,	the	growth	prospects	are	significant	and	based	on	compound	annual	growth	rates	for	
the	 market	 which	 are	 estimated	 to	 be	 double	 digit	 over	 the	 next	 several	 years.	 The	 pandemic	 has	 delayed	 this	 growth	
opportunity.	 There	 will	 be	 no	 significant	 rebound	 in	 the	 aviation	 sector	 until	 the	 population	 receives	 vaccinations	 and	 has	
confidence	 to	 travel.	 The	 Facilities	 Management	 business	 has	 line	 of	 sight	 to	 over	 $300	 million	 of	 annual	 revenue	 being	
competitively	bid	in	the	next	three	years.	

The	Crossroads	Lodge	in	Kitimat,	British	Columbia	and	Coastal	GasLink	pipeline	camps	have	been	temporarily	closed	during	the	
first	quarter	of	2021	given	the	provincial	governments	restrictions	and	impact	on	the	construction	of	the	LNG	Canada	facility.	
This	 short-term	 decline	 in	 revenue	 and	 EBITDA	 is	 expected	 to	 be	 offset	 by	 wins	 in	 our	 Eastern	 Canadian	 business	 and	 CEWS	
funding.	The	management	team	has	implemented	plans	to	modify	the	cost	structure	to	mitigate	the	impact	of	COVID-19,	while	
continuing	to	provide	essential	services	to	its	clients.	

Seasonality	

Dexterra	Group’s	earnings	are	affected	by	seasonality	in	certain	operating	segments.	Historically,	earnings	in	the	second	and	
third	 quarters	 are	 positively	 impacted	 by	 the	 seasonal	 Forestry	 operations,	 which	 is	 part	 of	 the	 WAFES	 segment.	 For	 the	
Workforce	Accommodations	portion	of	the	WAFES	segment,	camp	occupancy	is	historically	at	its	lowest	level	during	the	holiday	
season.	This,	in	conjunction	with	the	Forestry	Services	low	revenue	winter	season,	causes	revenues	to	be	at	their	lowest	levels

Management’s	Discussion	and	Analysis
Three	months	and	years	ended	December	31,	2020	and	2019

in	the	first	and	fourth	quarters.	The	Modular	Solutions	and	Facilities	Management	segments	include	project	work	that	may	also	
not	be	evenly	distributed	throughout	the	fiscal	year.

Liquidity	and	Capital	Resources	

For	the	year	ended	December	31,	2020,	cash	generated	by	operating	activities	was	$72.8	million,	compared	to	$1.6	million	in	
the	same	period	of	2019.	The	variance	was	driven	primarily	by	the	$55.2	million	increase	in	net	earnings	for	the	period	and	was	
used	to	repay	debt	post-Acquisition.	

The	 significant	 improvement	 in	 cash	 flow	 from	 investing	 activities	 for	 the	year	 ended	 December	 31,	 2020,	 compared	 to	 the	
same	 period	 in	 2019,	 is	 mainly	 related	 to	 2019	 payments	 of	 $17.6	 million	 to	 former	 shareholders	 of	 Carillion	 Canada	 in	
connection	with	the	acquisition	of	the	Carillion	Services	assets	and	$12.5	million	for	the	acquisition	of	the	PGC	and	the	Carillion	
Canada	purchase	price	finalization,	as	well	as	2020	asset	sales	as	a	result	of	the	capital	light	operating	model	and	low	capital	
expenditures.	

Cash	 flows	 from	 financing	 activities	 decreased	 due	 to	 the	 significant	 repayments	 on	 the	 credit	 facility	 of	 $57.9	 million	 and	
increased	lease	payments	and	finance	costs	related	to	the	Acquisition,	compared	to	the	$17.6	million	in	proceeds	received	in	
exchange	for	common	shares	in	2019.	Finance	activities	include	payments	on	loans	and	borrowings,	finance	costs	paid	and	the	
cash	impact	of	finance	leases.	

Working	capital	at	December	31,	2020	was	$67.7	million,	compared	to	$19.6	million	at	December	31,	2019,	an	increase	of	$48.1	
million.	 This	 was	 mainly	 due	 to	 working	 capital	 related	 to	 the	 Acquisition.	 Working	 capital	 investment	 in	 the	 business	 is	 also	
higher	in	the	first	and	third	quarters.

Calculated	as	available	bank	lines	less	drawings	on	credit	facility	and	letters	of	credit.	

On	June	30,	2020,	Dexterra	Group	reached	an	agreement	with	its	lenders	to	amend	its	credit	facility	and	extend	the	maturity	
date	to	December	30,	2022.	The	credit	facility	has	an	available	limit	of	$175.0	million	and	is	secured	by	a	$400.0	million	first	
fixed	and	floating	charge	debenture	over	all	assets	of	the	Corporation	and	its	wholly-owned	subsidiaries.	The	interest	rate	for	
the	credit	facility	is	calculated	on	a	grid	pricing	structure	based	on	the	Corporation’s	debt	to	EBITDA	ratio.	The	Corporation	is	
required	to	maintain	a	Debt	to	EBITDA	ratio	of	less	than	3.50:1:00	and	an	interest	coverage	ratio	greater	than	2:50:1:00	as	at	
December	31,	2020.	Amounts	drawn	on	the	credit	facility	incur	interest	at	bank	prime	rate	plus	1.00%	to	2.25%	or	the	Bankers’	
Acceptance	rate	plus	2.00%	to	3.25%.	The	credit	facility	has	a	standby	fee	ranging	from	0.50%	to	0.81%.	The	operating	facility	in	
place	at	December	31,	2019	was	Dexterra’s	stand-alone	facility	prior	to	the	Acquisition.	The	facility	was	repaid	on	May	29,	2020	
upon	closing	the	Acquisition.

The	Corporation's	financial	position	and	liquidity	are	strong.	The	Corporation	generated	Free	Cash	Flow	of	$64.0	million	in	2020.	
In	 future	 quarters,	 principal	 sources	 of	 liquidity	 include	 generated	 Free	 Cash	 Flow	 and	 proceeds	 from	 the	 disposal	 of	 idle	 or	
underutilized	 assets	 across	 its	 operating	 segments.	 As	 at	 December	 31,	 2020,	 the	 Corporation	 was	 in	 compliance	 with	 all	
financial	and	non-financial	covenants	related	to	the	credit	facility.

Capital	Spending

For	the	year	ended	December	31,	2020,	gross	capital	spending	was	$3.5	million	compared	to	$4.4	million	in	the	same	period	of	
2019.	 Capital	 spending	 in	Q4	 2020	 was	 mainly	 focused	 on	 small	 equipment	 and	 is	 in	 line	 with	 the	 Corporation's	 capital	 light	
strategy.

Management	evaluates	and	manages	its	capital	spending	plans	taking	into	account	proceeds	from	the	sale	of	property,	plant	
and	equipment,	resulting	in	net	capital	proceeds	of	$1.4	million	for	the	year	ended	December	31,	2020	compared	to	net	capital	
spending	 of	 $3.9	 million	 in	 the	 same	 period	 of	 2019.	 Capital	 spending	 was	 offset	 by	 the	 proceeds	 received	 on	 selling	
underutilized	energy	services	assets.	

As	 noted	 in	 the	 Outlook	 section,	 the	 Corporation	 leased	 a	 NRB	 Modular	 Solutions	 plant	 in	 Cambridge,	 Ontario,	 with	 an	
estimated	capital	cost	of	$7	million	and	annual	production	capacity	exceeding	$100	million	in	annual	sales	revenue.	This	plant	
will	 be	 used	 to	 meet	 the	 recent	 surge	 in	 social	 affordable	 housing	 demand	 and	 will	 open	 for	 production	 in	 Q2	 2021.	
Management	 expects	 normalized	 recurring	 capital	 spending	 to	 approximate	 $5	 million	 per	 annum,	 excluding	 the	 new	 NRB	
plant.

Revenue	for	the	third	quarter	of	2020	includes	$6.6	million	related	to	amounts	awarded	on	two	legal	proceedings	with	former	customers.
EBITDA	for	the	fourth	quarter	of	2020	includes	1.2	million	in	non-recurring	items.	EBITDA	for	the	third	quarter	of	2020	includes	the	$6.6	million	impact	of	other	revenue.	

Revenue	increased	in	the	fourth	quarter	of	2020	compared	to	the	same	period	in	2019	primarily	due	to	the	revenue	from	the		
Acquisition	 of	 $97.3	 million,	 partially	 offset	 by	 the	 impacts	 of	 COVID-19	 on	 operations.	 EBITDA	 increased	 significantly	 in	 the	
fourth	quarter	of	2020	when	compared	to	the	same	period	in	2019	due	primarily	to	the	Acquisition,	combined	with	the	$4.2	
million	 in	 wage	 subsidies	 and	 was	 partially	 offset	 by	 the	 impacts	 of	 COVID-19	 on	 operations.	 Net	 earnings	 in	 Q4	 2020	 were	
impacted	by	the	$4.2	million	non-cash	reduction	in	the	bargain	purchase	gain.	

When	 compared	 to	 Q3	 2020,	 revenue	 has	 decreased	 by	 $25.0	 million	 for	 the	 WAFES	 segment,	 due	 to	 the	 inclusion	 of	 $6.6	
million	of	revenue	in	Q3	2020	related	to	amounts	awarded	on	two	legal	proceedings;	low	levels	of	camp	occupancy	during	the	
Q4	 holiday	 season;	 and	 the	 impact	 of	 Forestry's	 low	 revenue	 winter	 season.	 This	 decrease	 was	 partially	 offset	 by	 revenue	
increases	from	Q3	2020	to	Q4	2020	for	Facilities	Management	and	Modular	Solutions	as	these	operations	are	not	impacted	by	
seasonality	to	the	same	extent	as	WAFES.	EBITDA	was	negatively	impacted	by	CEWS	decreasing	by	$5.1	million	from	Q3	2020	to

shares	(“the	Consolidation”).	Prior	 to	 the	Consolidation,	a	 total	 of	 324,346,871	 common	 shares	 were	 issued	 and	outstanding	
and	after	the	Consolidation	the	Corporation	has	64,869,417	issued	and	outstanding	common	shares.	All	share	and	per	share

Management’s	 Report	 on	 Disclosure	 Controls	 and	 Procedures	 and	 Internal	 Controls	 over	
Financial	Reporting

Disclosure	Controls	and	Procedures

The	Chief	Executive	Officer	(“CEO”)	and	the	Chief	Financial	Officer	(“CFO”)	have	designed,	or	caused	to	be	designed	under	their	
supervision,	disclosure	controls	and	procedures	(“DC&P”)	as	defined	in	National	Instrument	52-109	-	Certification	of	Disclosure	
in	Issuers'	Annual	and	Interim	Filings	("NI	52-109")	of	the	Canadian	Securities	Administrators,	to	provide	reasonable	assurance	
that:	(i)	material	information	relating	to	the	Corporation	is	made	known	to	the	CEO	and	the	CFO	by	others,	particularly	during	
the	period	in	which	the	interim	filings	are	being	prepared;	and	(ii)	information	required	to	be	disclosed	by	the	Corporation	in	its	
annual	 filings,	 interim	 filings	 or	 other	 reports	 filed	 or	 submitted	 by	 it	 under	 securities	 legislation	 is	 recorded,	 processed,	
summarized	and	reported	within	the	time	periods	specified	in	securities	legislation.	

Throughout	 2021,	 Dexterra	 Group	 will	 continue	 to	 evaluate	 its	 DC&P,	 making	 modifications	 from	 time-to-time	 as	 deemed	
necessary.	There	were	no	changes	in	Dexterra	Group’s	DC&P	that	occurred	during	the	period	ended	December	31,	2020	that	
have	materially	affected,	or	are	reasonably	likely	to	materially	affect,	Dexterra	Group’s	DC&P.	

Internal	Controls	over	Financial	Reporting	

The	CEO	and	the	CFO	have	designed,	or	caused	to	be	designed	under	their	supervision,	internal	controls	over	financial	reporting	
(“ICFR”)	as	defined	in	NI	52-109	of	the	Canadian	Securities	Administrators,	in	order	to	provide	reasonable	assurance	regarding	
the	reliability	of	financial	reporting	and	the	preparation	of	financial	statements	for	external	purposes	in	accordance	with	IFRS.

There	were	no	changes	to	the	Corporation’s	ICFR	during	the	period	ended	December	31,	2020	that	have	materially	affected,	or	
are	reasonably	likely	to	materially	affect,	the	Corporation’s	ICFR.

In	accordance	with	the	requirements	of	NI	52-109,	an	evaluation	of	the	effectiveness	of	DC&P	and	ICFR	was	carried	out	under	
the	supervision	of	the	CEO	and	CFO	at	December	31,	2020.	Based	on	this	evaluation,	the	CEO	and	CFO	have	concluded	that	the	
Corporation’s	DC&P	and	ICFR	were	effective	as	at	December	31,	2020.

Limitations	on	the	Effectiveness	of	Disclosure	Controls	and	Procedures	and	Internal	Control	over	Financial	
Reporting

Because	 of	 their	 inherent	 limitations,	 DC&P	 and	 ICFR	 may	 not	 prevent	 or	 detect	 misstatements,	 errors	 or	 fraud.	 Control	
systems,	 no	 matter	 how	 well	 conceived	 or	 implemented,	 can	 provide	 only	 reasonable,	 not	 absolute,	 assurance	 that	 the	
objectives	of	the	control	systems	are	met.

Risks	and	Uncertainties

The	financial	risks,	critical	accounting	estimates	and	judgements,	and	risk	factors	related	to	Dexterra	Group	and	its	business,	
which	 should	 be	 carefully	 considered,	 are	 disclosed	 in	 the	 Annual	 Information	 Form	 under	 "Risk	 Factors"	 and	 in	 the	 2020	
Financial	Statements	under	Note	22,	both	dated	March	10,	2021,	and	this	MD&A	should	be	read	in	conjunction	with	them.	Such	
risks	may	not	be	the	only	risks	facing	Dexterra	Group.	Additional	risks	not	currently	known	may	also	impair	Dexterra	Group’s	
business	operations	and	results	of	operation.

Critical	Accounting	Estimates	and	Judgements

This	MD&A	of	Dexterra	Group’s	financial	condition	and	results	of	operations	is	based	on	its	consolidated	financial	statements,	
which	are	prepared	in	accordance	with	IFRS.	The	preparation	of	the	consolidated	financial	statements	requires	management	to	
make	 estimates	 and	 judgements	 about	 the	 future.	 Estimates	 and	 judgements	 are	 continually	 evaluated	 and	 are	 based	 on	
historical	experience	and	other	factors,	including	expectations	of	future	events	that	are	believed	to	be	reasonable	under	the	
circumstances.	The	resulting	accounting	estimates	will,	by	definition,	seldom	equal	the	related	actual	results.	The	MD&A	should	
be	 read	 in	 conjunction	 with	 the	 2020	 Financial	 Statements	 and	 the	 changes	 to	 the	 areas	 of	 estimation	 and	 judgement	 are	
disclosed	in	Note	3	"Significant	accounting	policies	and	determination	of	fair	values".

Financial	Instruments	and	Risk	Management

In	 the	 normal	 course	 of	 business,	 the	 Corporation	 is	 exposed	 to	 a	 number	 of	 financial	 risks	 that	 can	 affect	 its	 operating	
performance.	 These	 risks	 are:	 credit	 risk,	 liquidity	 risk	 and	 interest	 rate	 risk.	 The	 Corporation’s	 overall	 risk	 management	
program	 and	 prudent	 business	 practices	 seek	 to	 minimize	 any	 potential	 adverse	 effects	 on	 the	 Corporation’s	 financial	
performance.	 The	 MD&A	 should	 be	 read	 in	 conjunction	 with	 the	 2020	 Financial	 Statements	 and	 the	 changes	 in	 the	 risk	
management	or	in	any	risk	management	policies	as	disclosed	in	Note	22	"Financial	risk	management".

Forward-Looking	Information

Certain	 statements	 contained	 in	 this	 MD&A	 may	 constitute	 forward-looking	 information	 under	 applicable	 securities	 law.	
Forward-looking	 information	 may	 relate	 to	 Dexterra	 Group’s	 future	 outlook	 and	 anticipated	 events,	 business,	 operations,	
financial	performance,	financial	condition	or	results	and,	in	some	cases,	can	be	identified	by	terminology	such	as		“continue”;

performance,	its	leverage,	the	NRB	Modular	Solutions	plant	in	Cambridge,	and	its	objectives	and	strategies	are	forward-looking	
statements.	These	statements	are	based	on	certain	factors	and	assumptions,	including	expected	growth,	results	of	operations,	
performance	 and	 business	 prospects	 and	 opportunities	 regarding	 Dexterra	 Group,	 which	 Dexterra	 Group	 believes	 are	
reasonable	 as	 of	 the	 current	 date.	 While	 management	 considers	 these	 assumptions	 to	 be	 reasonable	 based	 on	 information	
currently	available	to	Dexterra	Group,	they	may	prove	to	be	incorrect.	Forward-looking	information	is	also	subject	to	certain	
known	 and	 unknown	 risks,	 uncertainties	 and	 other	 factors	 that	 could	 cause	 Dexterra	 Group’s	 actual	 results,	 performance	 or

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO SHAREHOLDERS

Independent auditor’s report 

To the Shareholders of Dexterra Group Inc. 

Our opinion

the financial position of Dexterra Group Inc. and its subsidiaries (together, the Corporation) as at 
December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in 
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting 
Standards Board (IFRS). 

What we have audited 
The Corporation’s consolidated financial statements comprise: 

 



Key audit matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our 
audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. These matters were 
addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming 
our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.  

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Valuation of a significant portion of the 
property, plant and equipment acquired in a 
business combination

Refer to note 1 – Reporting entity, note 2 –
Statement of compliance and note 4 – Business 
combination to the consolidated financial 
statements. 

Our approach to addressing the matter involved the 
following procedures, among others: 

  Tested how management estimated the fair 

values of a significant portion of the property, 
plant and equipment, which included the 
following: 

On May 29, 2020, Dexterra Group Inc. (previously 
Horizon North) acquired 100% of the issued and 
outstanding shares of Dexterra Integrated Facilities 
Management (Dexterra). The business combination 
between Horizon North and Dexterra is being 
accounted for as a reverse acquisition, whereby the 
assets and liabilities of Horizon North are recorded 
at their fair values on the date of the transaction. 
The fair value of the assets acquired included 
$191.5 million in property, plant and equipment. 

Management applied significant judgment in 
estimating the fair value of property, plant and 
equipment. For a significant portion of property, 
plant and equipment, management used a cost 
approach adjusted for economic obsolescence 
(valuation method) to value these assets. 

Management developed significant assumptions 
with respect to the cost approach, which included 
the replacement costs, inflation indices, physical 
depreciation and obsolescence considerations in 
the valuation of a significant portion of property, 
plant and equipment. Adjustments for economic 
obsolescence were based on discounted cash flow 
models, which included the following assumptions: 
forecasted cash flows, growth rates and discount 
rates. 

-  Read the purchase agreement. 

-  Tested the mathematical accuracy of 
management’s discounted cash flow 
models to determine the economic 
obsolescence. 

-  Evaluated the reasonableness of the 
significant assumptions used by 
management to determine the economic 
obsolescence adjustments related to 
forecasted cash flows and growth rates by 
considering management’s budget, 
strategy and business plan approved by the 
Board of Directors and the current and past 
performance of Horizon North.  

-  Professionals with specialized skill and 

knowledge in the field of valuation assisted 
in evaluating the appropriateness of 
management’s valuation method, as well 
as the reasonableness of significant 
assumptions, which included replacement 
costs, inflation indices, physical 
depreciation and obsolescence 
considerations and the discount rates 
applied. 

23

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

We considered this a key audit matter due to the 
significant judgment applied by management in 
estimating the fair values of a significant portion of 
property, plant and equipment, including the 
development of significant assumptions. This, in 
turn, led to a high degree of auditor judgment, 
subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and 
evaluating audit evidence relating to the significant 
assumptions used by management. The audit effort 
involved the use of professionals with specialized 
skill and knowledge in the field of valuation. 

Impairment assessment of goodwill

Refer to note 2 – Statement of compliance, 
note 3 – Significant accounting policies and 
determination of fair values and note 9 – Intangible 
assets and goodwill to the consolidated financial 
statements. 

The Corporation had goodwill of $98.6 million as at 
December 31, 2020 and is allocated to cash 
generating units (CGUs). Goodwill is subject to 
impairment testing on an annual basis and at the 
end of each reporting period during the year if an 
indicator of impairment exists. Impairment exists 
when the carrying value of a CGU exceeds its 
recoverable amount. 

Management applied significant judgment in 
determining the recoverable amounts. The 
recoverable amounts of the CGUs were based on a 
value-in-use method using discounted cash flow 
models. Significant assumptions used in the 
discounted cash flow models included forecasted 
cash flows, growth rates and discount rates. 
Management concluded that there was no 
impairment of goodwill as at December 31, 2020. 

-  Tested the underlying data used in the 

discounted cash flow models. 

Our approach to addressing the matter involved the 
following procedures, amongst others: 

  Evaluated how management determined the 
recoverable amounts of the CGUs, which 
included the following: 

-  Assessed the appropriateness of the 

method used and tested the mathematical 
accuracy of the discounted cash flow 
models. 

-  Evaluated the reasonableness of significant 
assumptions such as forecasted cash flows 
and growth rates applied by management 
in the discounted cash flow models by 
considering management’s budget, 
strategy and business plan approved by the 
Board of Directors, current and past 
performance of the CGUs and industry data 
published by third parties.  

-  Professionals with specialized skill and 

knowledge in the field of valuation assisted 
in evaluating the appropriateness of 
management’s value-in-use method and 
testing the reasonableness of the discount 
rates.  

-  Tested the underlying data used in the 

discounted cash flow models.  

24

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

  Tested the disclosures made in the 

consolidated financial statements, particularly 
on the sensitivity of the significant assumptions 
used. 

We considered this a key audit matter due to the 
significant judgment applied by management in 
determining the recoverable amounts of the CGUs, 
including the development of significant 
assumptions. This, in turn, led to a high degree of 
auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in 
performing procedures and evaluating audit 
evidence relating to the significant assumptions 
used by management. The audit effort involved the 
use of professionals with specialized skill and 
knowledge in the field of valuation. 

Other information 

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Management’s 
Discussion and Analysis. 

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 identified above 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. 

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. We have nothing to report in this regard. 

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. 

25

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the 
Corporation’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 Corporation or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. 

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Corporation’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 Corporation’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 Corporation’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 Corporation 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. 

26

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

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope 
and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal 
control that we identify during our audit.  

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

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that 
were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and 
are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or 
regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we 
determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of 
doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. 

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Michael Hawtin.

Notes	to	the	consolidated	financial	statements	
Years	ended	December	31,	2020	and	2019

1.	Reporting	entity		

Dexterra	 Group	 Inc.	 ("Dexterra	 Group"	 or	 the	 "Corporation")	 is	 a	 corporation	 registered	 and	 domiciled	 in	 Canada	 and	 its	
common	 shares	 are	 listed	 on	 the	 Toronto	 Stock	 Exchange	 ("TSX")	 under	 the	 symbol	 DXT.	 The	 Corporation's	 head	 office	 is	 at	
5915	Airport	Road,	Suite	425,	Mississauga,	ON	L4V	1T1.	The	consolidated	financial	statements	of	the	Corporation	as	at	and	for	
the	 year	 ended	 December	 31,	 2020	 are	 comprised	 of	 the	 Corporation	 and	 its	 subsidiaries	 and	 the	 Corporation's	 interest	 in	
jointly	controlled	entities.	Dexterra	Group	is	a	pan-Canadian	support	services	platform	which	operates	across	eleven	provinces	
and	territories	and	diversified	end	markets.	Our	Facilities	Management	business	delivers	operation	and	maintenance	solutions	
for	built	assets	and	infrastructure	in	the	public	and	private	sectors,	including	aviation,	defence	and	security,	retail,	healthcare,	
education	and	government.	Our	Workforce	Accommodations,	Forestry	and	Energy	Services	("WAFES")	business	provides	a	full	
range	of	workforce	accommodations	solutions,	forestry	services	and	access	solutions	to	clients	in	the	energy,	mining,	forestry	
and	 construction	 sectors	 among	 others.	 Our	 Modular	 Solutions	 business	 integrates	 modern	 design	 concepts	 with	 off-site	
manufacturing	processes	to	produce	high-quality	building	solutions	for	social	and	affordable	housing,	commercial,	residential	
and	industrial	clients.	

On	 May	 29,	 2020,	 Dexterra	 Group	 (previously	 Horizon	 North	 Logistics	 Inc.	 ("Horizon	 North"))	 entered	 into	 a	 transaction	 (the	
"Acquisition")	 with	 10647802	 Canada	 Limited,	 operating	 as	 Dexterra	 Integrated	 Facilities	 Management	 (“Dexterra”),	 a	
subsidiary	 of	 Fairfax	 Financial	 Holdings	 Limited	 (TSX:	 FFH	 and	 FFH.U)	 (“Fairfax	 Financial”).	 Pursuant	 to	 the	 Acquisition,	 the	
Corporation	acquired	all	of	the	outstanding	common	shares	of	Dexterra	and	in	exchange	issued	31,785,993	common	shares	of	
Dexterra	Group	to	Dexterra’s	sole	shareholder,	9477179	Canada	Inc.	(“Dexterra	Parent”),	a	wholly-owned	subsidiary	of	Fairfax	
Financial.	Accordingly,	Fairfax	Financial	indirectly	owns	a	49%	interest	in	the	combined	Corporation,	while	existing	shareholders	
of	 the	 Corporation	 maintain	 a	 51%	 interest.	 Prior	 to	 the	 Acquisition,	 Fairfax	 Financial	 had	 no	 ownership	 interest	 in	 Dexterra	
Group.	

For	accounting	purposes,	the	Acquisition	constituted	a	reverse	acquisition	that	involved	a	change	of	control	of	Dexterra	Group	
and	 a	 business	 combination	 of	 Horizon	 North	 and	 Dexterra,	 to	 form	 a	 new	 corporation	 that	 now	 carries	 on	 operations	 as	
Dexterra	Group	Inc..	Based	on	the	guidance	in	IFRS	3,	Business	Combinations	("IFRS	3"),	it	was	determined	that	Horizon	North	
was	the	accounting	acquiree	and	Dexterra	was	the	accounting	acquirer,	as	Fairfax	Financial,	the	sole	shareholder	of	Dexterra,	
now	 controls	 the	 Corporation.	 As	 a	 result,	 2019	 comparative	 information	 included	 herein	 is	 solely	 Dexterra.	 Horizon	 North	
financial	results	are	included	subsequent	to	the	Acquisition	closing	date.	Refer	to	Note	4	for	further	information.	

On	 July	 16,	 2020,	 the	 Corporation	 completed	 a	 five-for-one	 share	 consolidation	 of	 all	 of	 its	 issued	 and	 outstanding	 common	
shares	(“the	Consolidation”).	Prior	to	the	Consolidation,	a	total	of	324,346,871	common	shares	were	issued	and	outstanding,	
and	after	the	Consolidation	the	Corporation	has	64,869,417	issued	and	outstanding	common	shares.	All	share	and	per	share	
data	 presented	 in	 the	 Corporation’s	 consolidated	 financial	 statements,	 including	 share	 options	 outstanding,	 has	 been	
retroactively	adjusted	to	reflect	the	Consolidation,	unless	otherwise	noted.	

On	November	13,	2020,	the	shareholders	of	the	Corporation	approved	the	name	change	to	Dexterra	Group	Inc.	The	common	
shares	now	trade	on	the	TSX	under	the	ticker	symbol	“DXT”.	Adopting	a	new	corporate	name	reflects	the	transformation	into	a	
pan-Canadian,	 diversified	 support	 services	 organization	 and	 marks	 a	 new	 phase	 in	 the	 Corporation's	 history	 as	 it	 focuses	 on	
delivering	quality	solutions	for	the	creation,	management,	and	operation	of	infrastructure.

2.	Statement	of	compliance	

Basis	of	Preparation

a.

Statement	of	compliance	

The	consolidated	financial	statements	have	been	prepared	in	accordance	with	International	Financial	Reporting	Standards	
(“IFRS”).	

The	consolidated	financial	statements	were	authorized	for	issue	by	the	Board	of	Directors	on	March	10,	2021.

b.						Basis	of	measurement	

The	consolidated	financial	statements	have	been	prepared	using	the	historical	cost	basis.	

c.						Change	in	Accounting	Policy	

Effective	 January	 1,	 2020,	 the	 Corporation	 changed	 its	 accounting	 policy	 of	 presenting	 expenses	 recognized	 in	 the	
consolidated	 statement	 of	 comprehensive	 income	 from	 nature	 to	 function	 in	 accordance	 with	 IAS	 1	 -	 Presentation	 of	
financial	statements.	There	are	also	presentation	changes	to	the	segment	information	disclosure.	The	Corporation	believes	
presenting	 an	 analysis	 of	 expenses	 recognized	 by	 function	 and	 presentation	 amendments	 provide	 more	 reliable	 and	
relevant	financial	information	to	users	of	its	financial	statements.

Notes	to	the	consolidated	financial	statements	
Years	ended	December	31,	2020	and	2019

d.						Functional	and	presentation	currency	

These	 consolidated	 financial	 statements	 are	 presented	 in	 Canadian	 dollars	 ("CAD"),	 which	 is	 the	 Corporation	 and	
subsidiaries’	 functional	 currency	 with	 the	 exception	 of	 a	 United	 States	 (“US”)	 operational	 entity	 which	 has	 a	 US	 dollar	
("USD")	functional	currency.

e.							Use	of	estimates	and	judgments

The	preparation	of	financial	statements	in	conformity	with	IFRS	requires	management	to	make	judgments,	estimates	and	
assumptions	that	affect	the	application	of	accounting	policies	and	the	reported	amounts	of	assets,	liabilities,	income	and	
expenses.	The	judgments,	estimates	and	associated	assumptions	are	based	on	historical	experience	and	other	factors	that	
are	considered	to	be	relevant.	Actual	outcomes	may	differ	from	these	estimates.	The	judgments,	estimates	and	underlying	
assumptions	are	reviewed	on	an	ongoing	basis.	Revisions	to	accounting	estimates	are	recognized	in	the	period	in	which	the	
estimate	is	revised	if	the	revision	affects	only	that	period	or	in	the	period	of	the	revision	and	future	periods	if	the	revision	
affects	both	current	and	future	periods.	The	judgments,	estimates	and	assumptions	that	have	the	most	significant	risk	of	
causing	 a	 material	 adjustment	 to	 the	 carrying	 amounts	 of	 assets	 and	 liabilities	 recognized	 in	 the	 consolidated	 financial	
statements	are	as	follows:

Estimates	&	Judgements

•

•

•

•

•

•

Purchase	price	equations	-	The	acquired	assets	and	assumed	liabilities	are	generally	recognized	at	fair	value	on	the	date	
the	Corporation	obtains	control	of	a	business.	The	measurement	of	each	business	combination	is	based	on	the	information	
available	on	the	acquisition	date.	Management	applied	significant	judgment	in	estimating	the	fair	value	of	property,	plant	
and	 equipment.	 For	 a	 significant	 portion	 of	 the	 property,	 plant	 and	 equipment,	 management	 used	 a	 cost	 approach	
adjusted	 for	 economic	 obsolescence	 to	 value	 these	 assets.	 Significant	 assumptions	 were	 developed	 with	 respect	 to	 the	
cost	approach	including	the	replacement	costs,	inflation	indices,	physical	depreciation	and	obsolescence	considerations	in	
the	valuation	of	property,	plant	and	equipment.	Adjustments	for	economic	obsolescence	were	based	on	discounted	cash	
flow	models	which	included	the	following	assumptions:	forecasted	cash	flows,	growth	rates	and	discount	rates	attributable	
to	these	assets.	The	estimate	of	fair	value	of	the	acquired	intangible	assets	and	other	assets	and	the	liabilities	are	largely	
based	on	projected	cash	flows,	discount	rates,	and	market	conditions	at	the	date	of	acquisition.

Impairment	 -	 Impairment	 exists	 when	 the	 carrying	 value	 of	 an	 asset	 or	 cash	 generating	 unit	 (“CGU”)	 exceeds	 its	
recoverable	amount,	which	is	the	higher	of	its	fair	value	less	costs	of	disposal	(“FVLCOD”)	and	its	value	in	use	(“VIU”).	The	
FVLCOD	calculation	is	based	on	available	data	from	binding	sales	transactions,	conducted	at	arm’s	length,	for	similar	assets	
or	observable	market	prices	less	incremental	costs	for	disposing	of	the	asset.	If	no	such	transactions	can	be	identified,	an	
appropriate	 valuation	 model	 is	 used.	 The	 Corporation	 uses	 the	 VIU	 method,	 which	 is	 based	 on	 a	 discounted	 cash	 flow	
models.	 Management	 applied	 significant	 judgment	 in	 determining	 the	 recoverable	 amounts.	 The	 most	 significant	
assumptions	in	estimating	the	recoverable	amount	of	each	CGU	include	forecasted	cash	flows,	growth	rates	and	discount	
rates.	 Forecasted	 cash	 flows	 include	 assumptions	 around	 EBITDA	 (Earnings	 before	 interest,	 taxes,	 depreciation,	
amortization,	 depreciation	 from	 equity	 investment,	 share	 based	 compensation,	 bargain	 purchase	 gain	 and	 gain/loss	 on	
disposal	of	property,	plant	and	equipment).		

Revenue	Recognition	Estimate	-	The	Corporation	recognized	revenue	at	a	point	in	time	or	upon	transfer	of	control	for	its	
construction	contracts	and	estimates	progress	of	these	contracts	by	comparing	costs	incurred	to	the	total	expected	costs	
of	the	project.	

Construction	Receivable	Estimate	-	The	Corporation	recognizes	that	the	price	of	many	construction	contracts	may	change	
over	the	duration	of	the	construction	period.	Change	orders	may	be	issued	by	customers	to	modify	the	original	contract	
scope	 of	 work	 or	 conditions	 resulting	 in	 possible	 disputes	 or	 claims	 regarding	 additional	 amounts	 owing	 may	 arise.	
Construction	 work	 related	 to	 a	 change	 order	 or	 claim	 may	 proceed,	 and	 costs	 may	 be	 incurred,	 in	 advance	 of	 final	
determination	of	the	value	of	the	change	order.	As	many	change	orders	and	claims	may	not	be	settled	until	the	end	of	the	
construction	project,	management	estimates	what	changes	orders	to	include	in	the	determination	of	revenue	recognized	
and	 changes	 in	 these	 estimates	 could	 result	 in	 significant	 increases	 or	 decreases	 in	 revenue	 and	 income	 during	 any	
particular	accounting	period.

Collectability	 of	 receivables	 -	 The	 Corporation	 estimates	 the	 collectability	 of	 accounts	 receivable,	 including	 unbilled	
accounts	receivable	related	to	current	period	service	revenue.	An	analysis	of	historical	bad	debts,	client	creditworthiness,	
the	 age	 of	 accounts	 receivable	 and	 current	 economic	 trends	 and	 conditions	 are	 used	 to	 evaluate	 the	 adequacy	 of	 the	
provision	for	expected	credit	losses	and	the	collectability	of	receivables.	Significant	estimates	must	be	made	and	used	in	
connection	with	establishing	the	provision	in	any	accounting	period.	Material	differences	may	result	if	management	made	
different	judgments	or	utilized	different	estimates.

Asset	 Retirement	 Obligation	 (“ARO”)	 -	 The	 Corporation	 recognizes	 an	 asset	 retirement	 obligation	 to	 account	 for	 future	
demobilisation	and	reclamation	of	specific	camps.	Use	of	an	ARO	requires	estimates	of	the	asset	retirement	costs,	timing	
of	payments,	present	value	discount	rate	and	inflation	rate	to	determine	the	amount	recognized	in	accordance	with	the	
accounting	policy	set	out	in	Note	3(i).

Years	ended	December	31,	2020	and	2019

•

Share-based	compensation	transactions	-	The	fair	value	of	the	employee	share	options	is	measured	using	the	Black-Scholes	
option	 pricing	 model.	 Measurement	 inputs	 include	 the	 share	 price	 on	 measurement	 date,	 the	 exercise	 price	 of	 the	
instrument,	 the	 expected	 volatility	 (based	 on	 weighted	 average	 historic	 volatility	 adjusted	 for	 changes	 expected	 due	 to	
publicly	available	information),	the	weighted	average	expected	life	of	the	instruments	(based	on	historical	experience	and	
general	 option	 holder	 behavior),	 the	 forfeiture	 rate,	 the	 expected	 dividends,	 and	 the	 risk-free	 interest	 rate	 (based	 on	
government	bonds).	Service	and	non-market	performance	conditions	are	not	taken	into	account	in	determining	fair	value.

3.	Significant	accounting	policies	and	determination	of	fair	values

(a)				Basis	of	consolidation	

i.

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries	 are	 entities	 controlled	 by	 the	 Corporation.	 The	 financial	 statements	 of	 subsidiaries	 are	 included	 in	 the	
consolidated	 financial	 statements	 from	 the	 date	 that	 control	 commences	 until	 the	 date	 that	 control	 ceases.	 The	
accounting	policies	of	subsidiaries	are	aligned	with	the	policies	adopted	by	the	Corporation.

ii.

Joint	ventures

The	Corporation’s	joint	ventures	are	those	entities	over	whose	activities	the	Corporation	has	joint	control,	established	
by	contractual	agreement.	Joint	ventures	are	accounted	for	using	the	equity	method	(equity	accounted	investees)	and	
are	initially	recognized	at	cost.

iii.					Special	purpose	entities

The	 Corporation	 has	 established	 a	 number	 of	 special	 purpose	 entities	 (“SPE”)	 for	 operating	 purposes.	 An	 SPE	 is	
consolidated	 when,	 based	 on	 an	 evaluation	 of	 the	 substance	 of	 its	 relationship	 with	 the	 Corporation	 and	 the	 SPE's	
risks	and	rewards,	the	Corporation	concludes	that	it	controls	the	SPE.	Control	exists	when	the	Corporation	is	exposed	
to,	or	has	rights	to,	variable	returns	from	its	involvement	with	the	entity	and	has	the	ability	to	affect	those	returns	
through	its	power	over	the	entity.	

iv.

Transactions	eliminated	on	consolidation

Intra-group	balances	and	transactions,	and	any	unrealized	income	and	expenses	arising	from	intra-group	transactions,	
are	 eliminated	 in	 preparing	 the	 consolidated	 financial	 statements.	 Unrealized	 gains	 arising	 from	 transactions	 with	
equity	accounted	investees	are	eliminated	against	the	investment	to	the	extent	of	the	Corporation’s	interest	in	the	
investee.

v.

Non-controlling	interest

The	 Corporation	 owns	 49%	 of	 Tangmaarvik	 Inland	 Camp	 Services	 Inc.	 and	 control	 exists.	 As	 a	 result,	 the	 results	 of	
Tangmaarvik	 Inland	 Camp	 Services	 Inc.	 are	 consolidated	 with	 the	 results	 of	 the	 Corporation	 and	 a	 non-controlling	
interest	is	recorded.

(b)				Business	combinations	

Business	 combinations	 are	 accounted	 for	 using	 the	 acquisition	 method.	 Determining	 whether	 an	 acquisition	 meets	 the	
definition	 of	 a	 business	 combination	 or	 represents	 an	 asset	 purchase	 requires	 judgment	 on	 a	 case	 by	 case	 basis.	 If	 the	
acquisition	 meets	 the	 definition	 of	 a	 business	 combination,	 the	 assets	 acquired	 and	 assumed	 liabilities	 are	 classified	 or	
designated	based	on	the	contractual	terms,	economic	conditions,	the	Corporation’s	operating	and	accounting	policies,	and	
other	factors	that	exist	on	the	acquisition	date.	The	acquired	identifiable	net	assets	are	measured	at	their	fair	value	at	the	
date	 of	 acquisition.	 Any	 excess	 of	 the	 purchase	 price	 over	 the	 fair	 value	 of	 the	 net	 assets	 acquired	 is	 recognized	 as	
goodwill.	Furthermore,	any	excess	of	the	fair	value	of	the	net	assets	acquired	over	the	purchase	price	is	recognized	as	a	
bargain	purchase	gain.

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

35

Notes	to	the	consolidated	financial	statements	
Years	ended	December	31,	2020	and	2019

(c)				Financial	instruments

IFRS	9	contains	three	principal	classification	categories	for	financial	assets:	measured	at	amortized	cost,	fair	value	through	
other	 comprehensive	 income	 (“FVOCI”)	 and	 fair	 value	 through	 the	 consolidated	 statement	 of	 comprehensive	 income	
(“FVTPL”).	The	classification	of	financial	assets	under	IFRS	9	is	generally	based	on	the	business	model	in	which	a	financial	
asset	 is	 managed	 and	 its	 contractual	 cash	 flow	 characteristics.	 Derivatives	 embedded	 in	 contracts	 where	 the	 host	 is	 a	
financial	 asset	 in	 the	 scope	 of	 the	 standard	 are	 never	 separated.	 Instead,	 the	 hybrid	 financial	 instrument	 as	 a	 whole	 is	
assessed	for	classification.

The	 “expected	 credit	 loss”	 model	 applies	 to	 financial	 assets	 measured	 at	 amortized	 cost,	 and	 contract	 assets	 and	 debt	
instruments	at	FVOCI.

i.

Non-derivative	financial	assets	

The	initial	classification	of	a	financial	asset	depends	upon	the	Corporation’s	business	model	for	managing	its	financial	
assets	 and	 the	 contractual	 terms	 of	 the	 cash	 flows.	 There	 are	 three	 measurement	 categories	 into	 which	 the	
Corporation	classified	its	financial	assets:

Amortized	Cost:	Includes	assets	that	are	held	within	a	business	model	whose	objective	is	to	hold	assets	to	collect	
contractual	cash	flows	and	its	contractual	terms	give	rise	on	specified	dates	to	cash	flows	that	represent	solely	
payments	of	principal	and	interest;

FVOCI:	 Includes	 assets	 that	 are	 held	 within	 a	 business	 model	 whose	 objective	 is	 achieved	 by	 both	 collecting	
contractual	cash	flows	and	selling	the	financial	assets,	where	its	contractual	terms	give	rise	on	specified	dates	to	
cash	flows	that	represent	solely	payments	of	principal	and	interest;	or

FVTPL:	Includes	assets	that	do	not	meet	the	criteria	for	amortized	cost	or	FVOCI	and	are	measured	at	fair	value	
through	the	consolidated	statement	of	comprehensive	income.	This	includes	all	derivative	financial	assets.

The	 Corporation	 initially	 recognizes	 trade	 and	 other	 receivables	 on	 the	 date	 that	 they	 originate.	 All	 other	 financial		
assets	 are	 recognized	 initially	 on	 the	 trade	 date	 at	 which	 the	 Corporation	 becomes	 a	 party	 to	 the	 contractual	
provisions	of	the	instrument.

The	Corporation’s	financial	assets,	trade	and	other	receivables,	are	initially	recognized	at	fair	value	plus	any	directly	
attributable	 transaction	 costs.	 Subsequently,	 they	 are	 measured	 at	 amortized	 cost	 using	 the	 effective	 interest	
method,	less	any	impairment	losses.

The	Corporation	derecognizes	a	financial	asset	when	the	contractual	rights	to	the	cash	flows	from	the	asset	expire,	or	
it	transfers	the	rights	to	receive	the	contractual	cash	flows	on	the	financial	asset	in	a	transaction	in	which	substantially	
all	the	risks	and	rewards	of	ownership	of	the	financial	asset	are	transferred.	Any	interest	in	transferred	financial	assets	
that	is	created	or	retained	is	recognized	as	a	separate	asset	or	liability.

Financial	 assets	 and	 liabilities	 are	 offset	 and	 the	 net	 amount	 presented	 in	 the	 consolidated	 statement	 of	 financial	
position	when,	and	only	when,	there	is	a	legal	right	to	offset	the	amounts	and	the	Corporation	intends	either	to	settle	
on	a	net	basis	or	to	realize	the	asset	and	settle	the	liability	simultaneously.

ii. Non-derivative	financial	liabilities	

The	 Corporation’s	 financial	 liabilities	 are	 categorized	 as	 measured	 at	 amortized	 cost.	 The	 Corporation	 initially	
recognizes	debt	securities	issued	and	subordinated	liabilities	on	the	date	that	they	are	originated.	All	other	financial	
liabilities	are	recognized	initially	on	the	trade	date	at	which	it	becomes	a	party	to	the	contractual	provisions	of	the	
instrument.

The	Corporation	derecognizes	a	financial	liability	when	its	contractual	obligations	are	discharged,	cancelled	or	expire.

Bank	 overdrafts	 and	 swinglines	 that	 are	 repayable	 on	 demand	 and	 form	 an	 integral	 part	 of	 the	 Corporation’s	 cash	
management	are	included	as	a	component	of	loans	and	borrowings	for	the	purpose	of	the	statement	of	cash	flows.	

Liabilities	 are	 recognized	 initially	 at	 fair	 value	 plus	 any	 directly	 attributable	 transaction	 costs.	 Subsequent	 to	 initial	
recognition	these	financial	liabilities	are	measured	at	amortized	cost	using	the	effective	interest	method.

iii.

Share	capital

Common	 shares	 are	 classified	 as	 equity.	 Incremental	 costs	 directly	 attributable	 to	 the	 issue	 of	 ordinary	 shares	 and	
share	options	are	recognized	as	a	deduction	from	equity,	net	of	any	tax	effects.

(d)			Property,	plant	and	equipment	

i.

Recognition	and	measurement	

Items	 of	 property,	 plant	 and	 equipment	 are	 measured	 at	 cost	 less	 accumulated	 depreciation	 and	 accumulated	
impairment	losses.

36

Notes	to	the	consolidated	financial	statements	
Years	ended	December	31,	2020	and	2019

Cost	 includes	 expenditures	 that	 are	 directly	 attributable	 to	 the	 acquisition	 of	 the	 asset,	 including	 non-recoverable	
indirect	taxes,	acquisition	costs	including	the	cost	of	materials	and	direct	labour,	any	other	costs	directly	attributable	
to	bringing	the	assets	to	a	working	condition	for	their	intended	use,	the	costs	of	dismantling	and	removing	the	items	
and	restoring	the	site	on	which	they	are	located,	and	borrowing	costs	on	qualifying	assets.

Costs	 related	 to	 assets	 under	 construction	 are	 capitalized	 when	 incurred.	 Assets	 under	 construction	 are	 not	
depreciated	 until	 they	 are	 completed	 and	 available	 for	 use	 in	 the	 manner	 intended	 by	 management.	 When	 this	
occurs,	the	asset	is	transferred	to	property,	plant	and	equipment.

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

Gains	and	losses	on	disposal	of	an	item	of	property,	plant	and	equipment	are	determined	by	comparing	the	proceeds	
from	disposal	with	the	carrying	amount	of	property,	plant	and	equipment,	and	are	recognized	net	within	operating	
expenses	in	the	consolidated	statement	of	comprehensive	income.

Proceeds	 from	 the	 sale	 of	 rental	 equipment	 that	 is	 routinely	 sold	 before	 the	 end	 of	 its	 useful	 life	 are	 included	 in	
revenue	and	net	cash	flows	from	operating	activities.	The	investments	in	the	acquisition	or	manufacturing	of	rental	
equipment	is	also	included	in	net	cash	flows	from	operating	activities	if	the	assets	are	expected	to	be	predominantly	
sold	 before	 the	 end	 of	 their	 useful	 life,	 otherwise	 the	 investments	 are	 included	 in	 net	 cash	 flows	 from	 investing	
activities.

ii.

Subsequent	costs

The	cost	of	replacing	a	major	component	of	an	item	of	property,	plant	and	equipment	is	recognized	in	the	carrying	
amount	 of	 the	 item	 if	 it	 is	 probable	 that	 the	 future	 economic	 benefits	 embodied	 within	 the	 part	 will	 flow	 to	 the	
Corporation,	 and	 its	 cost	 can	 be	 measured	 reliably.	 The	 carrying	 amount	 of	 the	 replaced	 major	 component	 is	
derecognized.	 The	 costs	 of	 the	 day-to-day	 servicing	 of	 property,	 plant	 and	 equipment	 are	 recognized	 in	 the	
consolidated	statement	of	comprehensive	income	as	incurred.

iii. Depreciation

Depreciation	 is	 calculated	 using	 the	 depreciable	 amount,	 which	 is	 the	 cost	 of	 an	 asset,	 less	 its	 residual	 value.	
Depreciation	is	recognized	in	the	consolidated	statement	of	comprehensive	income	on	a	straight-line	basis	over	the	
estimated	useful	lives	of	each	part	of	an	item	of	property,	plant	and	equipment,	since	this	most	closely	reflects	the	
expected	 pattern	 of	 consumption	 of	 the	 future	 economic	 benefits	 embodied	 in	 the	 asset.	 Leased	 assets	 are	
depreciated	 over	 the	 shorter	 of	 the	 lease	 term	 and	 their	 useful	 lives	 unless	 it	 is	 reasonably	 certain	 that	 the	
Corporation	will	obtain	ownership	by	the	end	of	the	lease	term.

The	estimated	useful	lives	for	the	current	and	comparative	periods	are	as	follows:

Assets	

Buildings	

Furniture	&	fixtures

Leasehold	improvements	

Computer	hardware	&	software	

Automotive

appropriate.	Land	and	assets	under	construction	are	not	depreciated.

(e)			Intangible	assets	

i.

Goodwill

Goodwill	 arises	 on	 the	 acquisition	 of	 subsidiaries,	 associates	 and	 joint	 ventures.	 Goodwill	 is	 measured	 at	 cost	 less	
accumulated	impairment	losses.	In	respect	of	equity	accounted	investees,	the	carrying	amount	of	goodwill	is	included	
in	the	carrying	amount	of	the	investment.	Goodwill	is	not	amortized	but	is	tested	at	least	annually	for	impairment	and	
at	the	end	of	each	reporting	period	during	the	year	if	an	indicator	of	impairment	exists.

Assets	acquired	

Intangible	assets	are	acquired	as	a	result	of	a	business	combination	or	the	purchase	of	other	contractual	or	legal	rights	
which	 are	 transferable	 or	 separable.	 Intangibles	 acquired	 as	 part	 of	 a	 business	 combinations	 are	 measured	 at	 fair	
value	on	initial	recognition.	Intangible	assets	purchased	are	measured	at	cost.	Amortization	is	charged	on	a	straight	
line	basis	to	the	consolidated	statement	of	comprehensive	income	over	their	expected	useful	lives,	as	follows:

Amortization	 methods,	 useful	 lives,	 and	 residual	 values	 are	 reviewed	 at	 each	 financial	 year-end	 and	 adjusted	 if	
appropriate.

(f)			Inventories

Inventories	 are	 measured	 at	 the	 lower	 of	 cost	 and	 net	 realizable	 value.	 The	 cost	 of	 inventories	 is	 based	 on	 a	 weighted	
average	or	standard	cost	principle	and	includes	expenditures	incurred	in	acquiring	the	inventories,	production	or	conversion	
costs,	and	other	costs	in	bringing	them	to	their	existing	location	and	condition.	In	the	case	of	manufactured	inventories	and	
work-in-progress,	cost	includes	an	appropriate	share	of	production	overheads	based	on	normal	operating	capacity.

Net	realizable	value	is	the	estimated	selling	price	in	the	ordinary	course	of	business,	less	the	estimated	costs	of	completion	
and	selling	expenses.

(g)			Impairment

i.

Financial	assets

An	impairment	loss	in	respect	of	a	financial	asset	measured	at	amortized	cost	is	calculated	using	the	“expected	credit	
loss”	model	and	recognizes	expected	credit	losses	as	a	loss	allowance.	The	Corporation	recognizes	an	amount	equal	to	
the	 lifetime	 expected	 credit	 losses	 based	 on	 the	 Corporation’s	 historical	 experience	 and	 including	 forward-looking	
information.	The	carrying	amount	of	these	assets	in	the	consolidated	statement	of	financial	position	is	net	of	any	loss	
allowance.	When	a	subsequent	event	causes	the	amount	of	impairment	loss	to	decrease,	the	decrease	in	impairment	
loss	is	reversed	through	net	earnings.	

ii. Non-financial	assets

The	 carrying	 amounts	 of	 the	 Corporation’s	 non-financial	 assets,	 other	 than	 inventories	 and	 deferred	 tax	 assets	 are	
reviewed	at	each	reporting	date	to	determine	whether	there	is	any	indication	of	impairment.	If	any	such	indication	
exists,	then	the	asset’s	recoverable	amount	is	estimated.	For	goodwill	and	intangible	assets	that	have	indefinite	useful	
lives	or	assets	that	are	not	yet	available	for	use,	the	recoverable	amount	is	estimated	each	year	at	the	same	time.

The	 recoverable	 amount	 of	 an	 asset	 is	 the	 greater	 of	 its	 value	 in	 use	 and	 its	 fair	 value	 less	 costs	 of	 disposal.	 In	
assessing	value	in	use,	the	estimated	future	cash	flows	are	discounted	to	their	present	value	using	a	pre-tax	discount	
rate	that	reflects	current	market	assessments	of	the	time	value	of	money	and	the	risks	specific	to	the	asset.	For	the	
purpose	of	impairment	testing,	assets	that	cannot	be	tested	individually	are	grouped	together	into	the	smallest	group	
of	assets	that	generates	cash	inflows	from	continuing	use	that	are	largely	independent	of	the	cash	inflows	of	other	
assets	 or	 groups	 of	 assets	 (the	 "CGU").	 The	 Corporation	 has	 identified	 four	 CGUs:	 Workforce	 Accommodations	 and	
Forestry,	 Energy	 Services,	 Facilities	 Management,	 and	 Modular	 Solutions.	 For	 the	 purposes	 of	 goodwill	 impairment	
testing,	goodwill	acquired	in	a	business	combination	is	allocated	to	the	CGU	or	group	of	CGUs	that	are	expected	to	
benefit	from	the	synergies	of	the	business	combination.	This	allocation	is	subject	to	an	operating	segment	ceiling	test	
and	reflects	the	lowest	level	at	which	that	goodwill	is	monitored	for	internal	reporting	purposes.

The	Corporation’s	corporate	assets	do	not	generate	separate	cash	inflows.	If	there	is	an	indication	that	a	corporate	
asset	 may	 be	 impaired,	 then	 the	 recoverable	 amount	 is	 determined	 for	 the	 group	 of	 CGUs	 to	 which	 the	 corporate	
asset	belongs.

An	 impairment	 loss	 is	 recognized	 if	 the	 carrying	 amount	 of	 an	 asset	 or	 its	 CGU	 exceeds	 its	 estimated	 recoverable	
amount.	 Impairment	 losses	 are	 recognized	 in	 the	 consolidated	 statement	 of	 comprehensive	 income.	 Impairment	
losses	recognized	in	respect	of	CGUs	are	allocated	first	to	reduce	the	carrying	amount	of	any	goodwill	allocated	to	the	
units	and	then	to	reduce	the	carrying	amounts	of	the	other	assets	in	the	unit	(group	of	units),	on	a	pro	rata	basis.	An	
impairment	loss	in	respect	of	goodwill	is	not	reversed.

(h)		Employee	benefits

i.

Defined	contribution	plan	

The	 Corporation’s	 defined	 contribution	 plan	 is	 a	 post-employment	 benefit	 plan	 under	 which	 the	 Corporation	 pays	
fixed	 contributions	 into	 a	 separate	 entity	 and	 will	 have	 no	 legal	 or	 constructive	 obligation	 to	 pay	 further	 amounts.	
Obligations	 for	 contributions	 to	 defined	 contribution	 plans	 are	 recognized	 as	 an	 employee	 benefit	 expense	 in	 the	
statement	of	comprehensive	income	when	they	are	due.

ii.

Short-term	benefits	

Short-term	 employee	 benefit	 obligations	 are	 measured	 on	 an	 undiscounted	 basis	 and	 are	 expensed	 as	 the	 related	
service	is	provided.	A	liability	is	recognized	for	the	amount	expected	to	be	paid	under	the	short-term	cash	bonus	plans	
if	the	Corporation	has	a	present	legal	or	constructive	obligation	to	pay	this	amount	as	a	result	of	past	service	provided	
by	the	employee	and	the	obligation	can	be	estimated	reliably.

iii.

Share	based	compensation	transactions

Equity-settled	transactions

The	grant	date	fair	value	of	share-based	compensation	awards	granted	to	officers	and	employees	is	recognized	as	an	
expense,	 with	 a	 corresponding	 increase	 in	 equity,	 over	 the	 period	 that	 the	 employees	 unconditionally	 become	
entitled	to	 the	awards	 (vesting	period).	 The	amount	 recognized	as	an	 expense	is	 adjusted	to	reflect	the	number	of	
awards	 for	 which	 the	 related	 service	 and	 non-market	 vesting	 conditions	 are	 expected	 to	 be	 met,	 such	 that	 the	
amount	ultimately	recognized	as	an	expense	is	based	on	the	number	of	awards	that	do	meet	the	related	service	and	
non-market	performance	conditions	at	the	vesting	date.

Cash-settled	transactions	

The	Corporation	has	a	Restricted	Share	Unit	(“RSU”)	and	Performance	Share	Unit	(“PSU”)	plan	for	its	eligible	officers	
and	employees.	The	fair	value	of	the	amount	payable	to	officers	and	employees	in	respect	of	the	RSUs	and	PSUs,	for	
which	 the	 participants	 are	 eligible	 to	 receive	 an	 equivalent	 cash	 value	 of	 the	 common	 shares	 at	 a	 future	 date,	
adjusted	 by	 the	 performance	 criteria	 for	 the	 PSUs,	 is	 recognized	 as	 an	 expense	 with	 a	 corresponding	 increase	 in	
liabilities	 over	 the	 period	 that	 the	 employees	 and	 officers	 provide	 the	 related	 service	 and	 become	 entitled	 to	
payment.	The	liability	is	re-measured	at	each	reporting	date	and	at	the	settlement	date.	Any	changes	in	the	fair	value	
of	the	liability	are	recognized	as	share	based	compensation	expense	in	the	consolidated	statement	of	comprehensive	
income.	

(i)			Provisions

A	provision	is	recognized	if,	as	a	result	of	a	past	event,	the	Corporation	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	 determined	 by	 discounting	 the	 expected	 future	 cash	 flows	 at	 a	 pre-tax	 risk-free	 rate	 that	 reflects	 current	
market	 assessments	 of	 the	 time	 value	 of	 money	 and	 the	 risks	 specific	 to	 the	 liability.	 The	 unwinding	 of	 the	 discount	 is	
recognized	 as	 finance	 cost.	 As	 at	 December	 31,	 2020	 the	 Corporation	 has	 recognized	 a	 provision	 for	 Asset	 Retirement	
Obligations	and	a	contingent	consideration	related	to	the	Powerful	Group	of	Companies	2019	acquisition.

(j)			Revenue

The	 Corporation	 uses	 IFRS	 15,	 Revenue	 from	 Contracts	 with	 Customers	 ("IFRS	 15").	 IFRS	 15	 provides	 a	 model	 for	 the	
recognition	 and	 measurement	 of	 all	 revenue	 flowing	 from	 contracts	 with	 customers.	 The	 core	 principle	 is	 that	 revenue	
recognition	 should	 align	 with	 the	 transfer	 of	 promised	 goods	 or	 services	 to	 customers	 in	 an	 amount	 that	 reflects	 the	
consideration	the	entity	expects	to	be	entitled	to	in	exchange	for	those	goods	or	services.

The	 Corporation	 recognizes	 revenues	 over	 time	 as	 it	 fulfills	 its	 performance	 obligations	 to	 clients	 in	 line	 with	 contracted	
terms.	 A	 performance	 obligation	 is	 a	 promise	 in	 a	 contract	 to	 transfer	 a	 distinct	 good	 or	 service	 to	 a	 client.	 A	 contract's	
transaction	 price	 is	 allocated	 to	 each	 distinct	 performance	 obligation	 and	 recognized	 as	 revenues	 when,	 or	 as,	 the	
performance	 obligation	 is	 satisfied.	 If	 a	 client	 contract	 has	 multiple	 performance	 obligations,	 the	 consideration	 in	 the	
contract	 is	 allocated	 to	 the	 separate	 performance	 obligations	 based	 on	 stand-alone	 selling	 prices.	 Any	 modifications	 or	
variations	 to	 contracts-in-progress	 are	 assessed	 to	 determine	 if	 they	 fall	 under	 the	 scope	 of	 the	 existing	 contract	
performance	obligation(s)	or	form	part	of	a	new	performance	obligation.

Revenues	are	derived	mainly	from	the	following	types	of	client	contracts	and	major	products	and	services:

i.

Facilities	Management	

Facilities	 management	 provides	 solutions	 for	 ongoing	 maintenance	 and	 operations	 of	 high-quality	 infrastructure.	
Ongoing	facility	management	services	are	generally	similar	each	month	and	are	provided	to	customers	at	a	contracted	
price	based	on	the	amount	of	hours	of	service	by	the	Corporation's	employees	and	the	amount	of	supplies	required.	
Revenue	is	recognized	over	time	as	the	services	are	provided	to	the	customer.	If	a	contract	has	distinct	performance	

39

Notes	to	the	consolidated	financial	statements	
Years	ended	December	31,	2020	and	2019

obligations,	 the	 transaction	 price	 is	 allocated	 to	 each	 performance	 obligation	 and	 recognized	 as	 revenue	 as	 the	
performance	obligation	is	satisfied.	

ii.

Construction	Contract	Revenue	

Construction	 contract	 revenue	 includes	 the	 initial	 amount	 agreed	 to	 in	 the	 contract	 plus	 any	 variations	 in	 contract	
work,	claims,	and	incentive	payments,	to	the	extent	that	it	is	highly	probable	that	a	significant	revenue	reversal	will	
not	 occur.	 The	 Corporation	 recognizes	 revenue	 over	 time	 for	 its	 construction	 contracts,	 and	 estimates	 progress	 of	
these	 contracts	 by	 comparing	 costs	 incurred	 to	 the	 total	 expected	 costs	 of	 the	 project.	 Contract	 expenses	 are	
recognized	as	incurred	unless	they	create	an	asset	related	to	future	contract	activity.	An	expected	loss	on	a	contract	is	
recognized	immediately	in	the	consolidated	statement	of	comprehensive	income.	

iii. Workforce	Accommodation

Workforce	 accommodation	 includes	 the	 management,	 supply	 and	 installation	 of	 modular	 and	 exploration	 facilities	
and	 catering.	 In	 the	 workforce	 accommodation	 business,	 distinct	 performance	 obligations	 include	 the	 supply	 and	
installation	 of	 the	 facilities,	 catering	 and	 maintenance	 of	 the	 facilities.	 Revenue	 is	 recognized	 when	 the	 supply	 and	
installation	of	the	facilities	is	complete	and	when	catering	services	are	provided	to	the	customer.	Catering	services	are	
provided	 to	 customers	 at	 a	 contract	 price	 per	 unit	 served.	 If	 a	 contract	 has	 distinct	 performance	 obligations,	 the	
transaction	 price	 is	 allocated	 to	 each	 performance	 obligation	 and	 recognized	 as	 revenue	 as	 the	 performance	
obligation	is	satisfied.

iv.

Forestry	Services

Forestry	services	includes	reforestation	solutions,	forest	thinning	and	firefighting	services.	Revenue	is	recognized	over	
time	as	the	services	are	provided	to	the	customer.	Reforestation,	forest	thinning	solutions	and	firefighting	services	are	
provided	 to	 customers	 at	 a	 contracted	 price	 per	 unit.	 If	 a	 contract	 has	 distinct	 performance	 obligations,	 the	
transaction	 price	 is	 allocated	 to	 each	 performance	 obligation	 and	 recognized	 as	 revenue	 as	 the	 performance	
obligation	is	satisfied.	

v.

Energy	Services	

The	 Corporation	 provides	 access	 mat	 rental,	 relocatable	 structure	 rental,	 and	 transportation	 services	 to	 customers.	
Revenue	from	rendering	of	these	services	are	recognized	over	time.	Rental	days	are	used	to	measure	the	rental	fleet	
revenue.	 Revenue	 is	 recognized	 at	 the	 applicable	 day	 rate	 for	 each	 asset	 rented,	 based	 on	 rates	 specified	 in	 each	
contract,	and	as	the	services	are	performed.	

vi.

Sale	of	used	fleet

The	Corporation	routinely	sells	items	of	property,	plant	and	equipment	that	it	has	held	for	rental	and	such	assets	are	
transferred	to	inventories	at	their	carrying	amount	when	they	cease	to	be	held	for	rent.	The	proceeds	from	the	sale	of	
such	assets	are	recognized	as	revenue	at	a	point	in	time	when	control	of	the	assets	transfers.

vii. Sale	of	other	goods

Revenue	from	the	sale	of	other	goods	is	measured	at	the	fair	value	of	the	consideration	received	or	receivable.	The	
Corporation	recognizes	revenue	when	it	transfers	control	of	the	product	or	service	to	a	customer,	which	is	generally	
when	title	passes	from	the	Corporation	to	its	customer,	collectability	is	reasonably	assured,	the	associated	costs	can	
be	 estimated	 reliably,	 and	 there	 is	 no	 continuing	 management	 involvement	 with	 the	 goods.	 The	 Corporation	
recognizes	revenue	from	the	sale	of	other	goods	at	a	point	in	time.

(k)			Leases

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

•

•

•

The	contract	involves	the	use	of	an	identified	asset	-	this	may	be	specified	explicitly	or	implicitly,	and	should
be	physically	distinct	or	represent	substantially	all	of	the	capacity	of	a	physically	distinct	asset.	
The	Corporation	has	the	right	to	obtain	substantially	all	of	the	economic	benefits	from	use	of	the	asset
throughout	the	period	of	use;	and
The	Corporation	has	the	right	to	direct	the	use	of	the	asset.	The	Corporation	has	this	right	when	it	has	the
decision-making	rights	that	are	most	relevant	to	changing	how	and	for	what	purpose	the	asset	is	used.

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

40

Notes	to	the	consolidated	financial	statements	
Years	ended	December	31,	2020	and	2019

The	 right-of-use	 asset	 is	 subsequently	 depreciated	 using	 the	 straight-line	 method	 from	 the	 commencement	 date	 to	 the	
earlier	 of	 the	 end	 of	 the	 useful	 life	 or	 the	 end	 of	 the	 lease	 term.	 The	 estimated	 useful	 lives	 of	 right-of-use	 assets	 are	
determined	on	the	same	basis	as	those	of	property,	plant	and	equipment.

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

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

The	Corporation	presents	right-of-use	assets	and	finance	lease	liabilities	in	the	consolidated	statement	of	financial	position.

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

As	a	lessor

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

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

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

(l)			Finance	income	and	costs	

Finance	income	comprises	interest	income	on	funds	invested.	Interest	income	is	recognized	as	it	accrues	in	the	consolidated		
statement	of	comprehensive	income,	using	the	effective	interest	method.	

Finance	 costs	 comprise	 of	 interest	 expense	 on	 loans	 and	 borrowings,	 unwinding	 of	 the	 discount	 on	 ARO	 provisions,	 and	
changes	 in	 the	 fair	 value	 of	 financial	 assets	 at	 fair	 value	 through	 the	 consolidated	 statement	 of	 comprehensive	 income.	
Borrowing	 costs	 that	 are	 not	 directly	 attributable	 to	 the	 acquisition,	 construction,	 or	 production	 of	 a	 qualifying	 asset	 are	
recognized	in	the	consolidated	statement	of	comprehensive	income	using	the	effective	interest	method.	

Foreign	currency	gains	and	losses	are	reported	on	a	net	basis.

(m)		Income	tax

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

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

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

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

(n)	Earnings	per	share

The	Corporation	presents	basic	and	diluted	earnings	per	share	(“EPS”)	data	for	its	common	shares.	Basic	EPS	is	calculated	by	
dividing	 the	 net	 earnings	 attributable	 to	 common	 shareholders	 of	 the	 Corporation	 by	 the	 weighted	 average	 number	 of	
common	 shares	 outstanding	 during	 the	 period.	 Diluted	 EPS	 is	 calculated	 by	 the	 weighted	 average	 number	 of	 common	
shares	outstanding	for	the	effects	of	all	dilutive	potential	common	shares,	which	is	comprised	of	share	options	granted	to	
employees.

(o)				Segment	reporting

A	segment	is	a	distinguishable	component	of	the	Corporation	that	is	engaged	either	in	providing	related	products	or	services	
(business	 segment)	 which	 is	 subject	 to	 risks	 and	 returns	 that	 are	 different	 from	 those	 of	 other	 segments.	 The	 business	
segments	are	determined	based	on	the	Corporation’s	management	and	internal	reporting	structure.

Segment	results,	assets	and	liabilities	include	items	directly	attributable	to	a	segment,	as	well	as	those	that	can	be	allocated	
on	 a	 reasonable	 basis.	 Unallocated	 items	 comprise	 mainly	 investments	 and	 related	 revenue,	 loans	 and	 borrowings	 and	
related	expenses,	corporate	assets	and	head	office	expenses,	and	income	tax	assets	and	liabilities.

Segment	 capital	 expenditure	 is	 the	 total	 cost	 incurred	 during	 the	 period	 to	 acquire	 property,	 plant	 and	 equipment	 and	
intangible	assets	other	than	goodwill.

(p)		Foreign	currency	translation

							The	consolidated	financial	statements	are	presented	in	CAD.

Foreign	 currency	 transactions	 entered	 into	 are	 translated	 into	 the	 functional	 currency	 of	 the	 operations	 at	 the	 exchange	
rate	on	the	dates	of	 the	transactions.	 Monetary	assets	and	 liabilities	 denominated	in	 foreign	currencies	 are	 re-translated	
into	the	functional	currency	using	the	exchange	rate	on	the	period	end	date.	Foreign	currency	translation	gains	and	losses	
resulting	 from	 the	 settlement	 of	 transactions	 and	 the	 re-translation	 at	 period	 end	 are	 recognized	 in	 the	 consolidated	
statement	 of	 comprehensive	 income	 within	 total	 profit.	 Non-monetary	 items	 that	 originated	 in	 a	 foreign	 currency	 are	
translated	at	the	exchange	rate	from	the	original	transaction	date.

The	US	entity	has	a	USD	functional	currency	therefore	translated	to	be	included	in	the	consolidated	financial	statements	in	
CAD	as	follows:	income	and	expenses	are	translated	into	CAD	using	the	exchange	rates	on	the	dates	of	the	transactions	and	
the	 assets	 and	 liabilities	 on	 the	 consolidated	 statement	 of	 financial	 position	 are	 translated	 into	 CAD	 at	 the	 period	 end	
exchange	rate.	The	effect	of	translation	is	recognized	in	other	comprehensive	income	and	included	as	translation	of	foreign	
operations	in	accumulated	other	comprehensive	income	within	equity.

Foreign	currency	gains	and	losses	arising	from	monetary	items	receivable	from	or	payable	to	a	foreign	operation,	for	which	
settlement	 is	 neither	 planned	 nor	 likely	 to	 occur,	 form	 a	 part	 of	 the	 exchange	 differences	 in	 the	 net	 investment	 in	 the	
foreign	operations	and	are	recognized	initially	in	other	comprehensive	income.	Upon	disposal	or	partial	disposal	of	an	entity	
with	a	functional	currency	other	than	CAD,	any	accumulated	exchange	differences	will	be	reclassified	to	the	consolidated	
statement	of	comprehensive	income	within	total	profit.

(q)		Government	Assistance

IAS	 20	 "Accounting	 for	 government	 grants	 and	 disclosure	 of	 government	 assistance"	 ("IAS	 20")	 sets	 out	 the	 standard	 for	
accounting	of	government	grants	and	other	forms	of	government	assistance.	Government	assistance	is	not	recognized	until	
there	is	reasonable	assurance	that	the	Corporation	will	comply	with	the	associated	conditions,	and	that	the	grant	will	be	
received.	Government	grants	shall	be	recognized	in	the	consolidated	statement	of	comprehensive	income	on	a	systematic	
basis	over	the	periods	in	which	the	entity	recognizes	the	expenses	for	the	related	costs	for	which	the	assistance	is	intended	
to	 compensate.	 For	 government	 assistance	 that	 becomes	 receivable	 as	 compensation	 for	 expenses	 or	 losses	 already	
incurred,	 or	 for	 the	 purpose	 of	 giving	 immediate	 financial	 support	 to	 the	 Corporation	 with	 no	 future	 related	 costs,	 are	
recognized	 in	 the	 consolidated	 statement	 of	 comprehensive	 income	 for	 the	 period	 in	 which	 it	 becomes	 receivable.	 The	
Corporation	recognized	government	assistance	as	a	reduction	in	the	related	expense,	through	the	consolidated	statement	
of	comprehensive	income.

(r)		Adoption	of	new	IFRS	standards	

Definition	of	a	Business	

In	 October	 2018,	 the	 International	 Accounting	 Standards	 Board	 ("IASB")	 issued	'Definition	 of	 a	 Business	 (Amendments	 to	
IFRS	3)'	which	is	intended	to	clarify	the	definition	of	a	business.	The	amendment	includes	an	election	to	use	a	concentration	
test.	This	simplified	assessment	results	in	the	treatment	of	an	acquisition	as	an	asset	acquisition	if	substantially	all	of	the	fair	
value	of	the	gross	assets	is	concentrated	in	a	single	identifiable	asset	or	group	of	similar	assets.	If	the	election	to	use	the	
concentration	 test	 is	 not	 made	 or	 the	 test	 fails,	 then	 the	 assessment	 focuses	 on	 the	 existence	 of	 a	 substantive	 process.	
Goodwill	may	only	be	recognized	as	a	result	of	acquiring	a	business,	not	as	a	result	of	an	asset	acquisition.	The	Corporation	
adopted	the	amendment	as	at	the	effective	date	of	January	1,	2020,	with	no	impact	to	the	consolidated	financial	statements	
as	a	result	of	initial	application.	

42

Notes	to	the	consolidated	financial	statements	
Years	ended	December	31,	2020	and	2019

Definition	of	Material	

In	October	2018,	the	IASB	issued	'Definition	of	Material	(amendments	to	IAS	1	and	IAS	8)'	which	clarified	and	aligned	the	
definition	 of	 material	 in	 order	 to	 improve	 consistency	 in	 the	 application	 of	 that	 concept.	 The	 Corporation	 adopted	 the	
amendment	as	at	the	effective	date	of	January	1,	2020,	with	no	impact	to	the	consolidated	financial	statements	as	a	result	
of	initial	application.	

(s)		New	standards	and	interpretations	not	yet	adopted	

The	new	standards,	amendments	to	standards	and	interpretations	not	yet	effective	for	the	year	ended	December	31,	2020,	
and	not	applied	in	preparing	these	consolidated	financial	statements	are	disclosed	below.	The	Corporation	intends	to	adopt	
these	standards,	if	applicable,	when	they	become	effective	on	January	1,	2022.

In	May	2020,	the	IAS	issued	'Onerous	Contracts	-	Cost	of	Fulfilling	a	Contract	(Amendments	to	IAS	37)'	which	amends	the	
standard	regarding	costs	a	company	should	include	as	the	cost	of	fulfilling	a	contract	when	assessing	whether	a	contract	is	
onerous.	Costs	of	fulfilling	a	contract	can	either	be	incremental	costs	of	fulfilling	that	contract	or	an	allocation	of	other	costs	
that	 relate	 directly	 to	 fulfilling	 contracts.	 The	 Corporation	 is	 still	 assessing	 the	 impact	 this	 amendment	 will	 have	 on	 its	
consolidated	financial	statements,	if	any.	

4.	Business	combination	

On	 May	 29,	 2020,	 Dexterra	 Group	 Inc.	 (previously	 Horizon	 North),	 acquired	 100%	 of	 the	 issued	 and	 outstanding	 shares	 of	
Dexterra	 through	 issuing	 31,785,993	 shares	 of	 the	 Corporation	 to	 Dexterra	 Parent,	 as	 described	 in	 Note	 1.	 Management	
performed	 an	 analysis	 under	 IFRS	 3	 and	 determined	 that	 Dexterra	 is	 the	 accounting	 acquirer	 of	 Horizon	 North.	 As	 such,	 the	
Acquisition	 constitutes	 a	 Reverse	 Take	 Over	 for	 accounting	 purposes.	 Therefore,	 Dexterra	 is	 deemed	 to	 be	 the	 continuing	
enterprise	 for	 accounting	 purposes	 and	 accordingly	 its	 assets	 and	 liabilities	 are	 included	 in	 these	 consolidated	 financial	
statements	at	historical	cost.	Horizon	North,	being	the	acquired	enterprise	for	accounting	purposes,	has	its	assets	and	liabilities	
included	in	these	financial	statements	at	their	fair	value	on	the	date	of	the	acquisition	in	accordance	with	IFRS	3.	

The	 acquisition	 is	 being	 accounted	 for	 using	 the	 acquisition	 method	 whereby	 the	 assets	 and	 liabilities	 of	 the	 acquiree	 are	
recorded	 at	 their	 fair	 values,	 with	 the	 deficit	 of	 the	 aggregate	 consideration	 relative	 to	 the	 fair	 value	 of	 the	 identifiable	 net	
assets	 recorded	 as	 a	 bargain	 purchase	 gain.	 The	 Corporation	 assessed	 the	 fair	 values	 of	 the	 net	 assets	 acquired	 based	 on	
management’s	 best	 estimate	 of	 the	 fair	 value,	 which	 takes	 into	 consideration	 the	 condition	 of	 the	 assets	 acquired,	 current	
industry	conditions	and	the	discounted	future	cash	flows	expected	to	be	received	from	the	assets	as	well	as	the	amount	it	is	
expected	to	cost	to	settle	the	outstanding	liabilities.	The	purchase	equation	is	final	as	at	December	31,	2020.

Notes	to	the	consolidated	financial	statements	
Years	ended	December	31,	2020	and	2019

The	share	consideration	was	determined	based	on	the	number	of	Dexterra	Group	common	shares	not	acquired	by	Dexterra	as	
part	of	the	Acquisition,	which	amounted	to	33,083,424	common	shares	at	$3.05	per	common	share.	The	amount	per	share	was	
based	on	Dexterra	Group's	closing	price	on	the	TSX	on	May	29,	2020,	the	date	of	the	closing	of	the	Acquisition,	retroactively	
adjusted	for	the	Consolidation.	A	bargain	purchase	gain	was	recorded	with	this	business	combination	as	the	share	consideration	
is	based	upon	a	share	price	at	closing	which	was	lower	than	the	fair	value	of	the	identifiable	net	assets.	

From	the	date	of	acquisition	to	December	31,	2020,	the	former	Horizon	North	operations	contributed	$228.4	million	of	revenue	
and	$17.4	million	of	income	before	tax	to	the	Corporation.	If	the	business	combination	had	been	completed	on	January	1,	2020,	
the	revenue	and	income	before	income	tax	for	the	year	ending	December	31,	2020	for	the	combined	entity,	adjusting	for	the	
former	 Horizon	 North's	 Q1	 2020	 impairment	 loss	 and	 the	 lower	 depreciation	 expense	 from	 the	 assets	 being	 recorded	 at	 fair	
value,	would	have	been	$640.7	million	and	$67.1	million,	respectively,	which	includes	the	$29.9	million	bargain	purchase	gain	
and	$4.9	million	in	transaction	costs.	

Dexterra	 incurred	 costs	 related	 to	 the	 acquisition	 of	 Dexterra	 Group	 of	 $1.8	 million	 relating	 to	 share	 issuance,	 legal,	 due	
diligence	and	external	advisory	fees.	The	cost	related	to	the	share	issuance	totaling	$0.1	million	were	included	in	share	capital	
on	the	consolidated	statement	of	financial	position.	The	costs	related	to	the	due	diligence	and	external	advisory	fees	totaling	
$1.7	 million	 were	 included	 in	 selling,	 general	 &	 administrative	 expenses	 on	 the	 consolidated	 statement	 of	 comprehensive	
income.

2019	Business	Combination	

On	 November	 1,	 2019,	 Dexterra	 acquired	 100%	 of	 the	 voting	 shares	 of	 the	 Powerful	 Group	 of	 Companies	 Inc.	 ("PGC")	 and	
certain	 affiliates,	 which	 provides	 HVAC,	 electrical,	 plumbing,	 interior	 renovation,	 carpentry,	 communications,	 fire	 safety	 and	
energy	 management	 services.	 The	 acquisition	 of	 PGC	 expanded	 the	 Corporation's	 capabilities	 and	 services	 it	 can	 offer	 to	 its	
facility	management	clients.	Total	consideration	was	$6.5	million,	with	$3.9	million	in	total	identifiable	net	assets,	resulting	in	
Goodwill	of	$2.57	million.	Contingent	consideration	of	$1.8	million	was	recorded,	of	which	$1.4	million	remains	as	at	December	
31,	2020.	

Revenue	 and	 net	 earnings	 for	 the	 year	 ended	 December	 31,	 2019,	 would	 have	 been	 $7.3	 million	 and	 $0.9	 million	 higher,	
respectively,	if	the	acquisition	had	occurred	on	January	1,	2019.	Subsequent	to	the	acquisition	date	of	November	1,	2019,	PGC	
contributed	revenue	and	net	earnings	of	$1.3	million	and	$0.01	million,	respectively,	to	the	Facilities	Management	segment	for	
the	year	ended	December	31,	2019.

The	Corporation	assesses	indicators	of	impairment	at	the	end	of	each	reporting	period	and	performs	a	detailed	impairment	test	
at	 least	 annually.	 At	 December	 31,	 2020,	 an	 impairment	 test	 was	 performed	 for	 all	 CGUs	 with	 allocated	 goodwill,	 which	
comprise	Facilities	Management	and	Workforce	Accommodations	and	Forestry.	No	impairment	was	identified.	

The	recoverable	amount	of	the	CGUs	was	calculated	based	on	the	VIU	method,	which	is	based	on	discounted	cash	flow	models.	
The	cash	flows	are	derived	from	the	Corporation’s	board	approved	budget	and	do	not	include	restructuring	activities	that	the	
Corporation	is	not	yet	committed	to	or	significant	future	investments	that	will	enhance	the	asset’s	performance	of	the	CGUs	
being	tested.	The	calculation	of	the	value	in	use	was	based	on	the	following	key	assumptions:

•

•

The	discount	rate	was	estimated	based	on	the	Corporation's	weighted	average	cost	of	capital,	taking	into	account	the	
nature	of	the	assets	being	valued	and	their	specific	risk	profile.	The	after-tax	discount	rates	used	in	determining	the	
recoverable	amount	for	both	CGUs	was	12.7%	(2019	-	12.9%).	

The	revenue	growth	rates	for	the	first	five	years	are	based	on	management's	internal	budgets	and	projections.	The	
projections	 for	 Facilities	 Management	 take	 into	 account	 the	 impacts	 of	 the	 pandemic	 on	 the	 aviation	 and	 retail	
sectors,	which	are	forecasted	to	have	an	impact	on	the	2021	and	2022	forecasted	cash	flows.	Annual	revenue	growth	
rates	between	15%	to	23%	and	0%	to	4%	were	used	for	the	Facilities	Management	and	Workforce	Accommodation	
and	 Forestry	 CGUs,	 respectively.	 The	 long-term	 growth	 rate	 for	 both	 CGUs	 used	 in	 determining	 the	 recoverable	
amount	is	2.5%	(2019	-	2.5%).	

Sensitivities	

The	 most	 sensitive	 inputs	 to	 the	 VIU	 model	 are	 the	 discount	 rate	 and	 the	 revenue	 growth	 rate.	 All	 else	 being	 equal,	 a	 5%	
decrease	in	the	revenue	growth	rates	would	cause	an	impairment	of	$5.3	million	for	Facilities	Management	and	no	impairment	
for	Workforce	Accommodations	&	Forestry.	All	else	being	equal,	a	1%	increase	in	the	discount	rate	would	cause	an	$5.0	million	
impairment	for	Facilities	Management	and	no	impairment	for	Workforce	Accommodations	&	Forestry.	The	impairment	analysis	
is	impacted	due	to	the	pandemic's	effect	on	the	Facilities	Management	results	and	forecasts	in	the	near	term,	even	though	the	
Corporation	expects	there	would	be	significant	improvement	in	a	post-pandemic	environment.

The	 carrying	 value	 of	 Dexterra	 Group’s	 debt	 approximates	 its	 fair	 value,	 as	 debt	 bears	 interest	 at	 variable	 rates	 which	
approximate	market	rates.	

On	June	30,	2020,	Dexterra	Group	reached	an	agreement	with	its	lenders	to	amend	its	credit	facility	and	extend	the	maturity	
date	to	December	30,	2022.	The	credit	facility	has	an	available	limit	of	$175.0	million	and	is	secured	by	a	$400.0	million	first	
fixed	and	floating	charge	debenture	over	all	assets	of	the	Corporation	and	its	wholly-owned	subsidiaries.	The	interest	rate	for	
the	credit	facility	is	calculated	on	a	grid	pricing	structure	based	on	the	Corporation’s	debt	to	EBITDA	ratio.	The	Corporation	is	
required	to	maintain	a	Debt	to	EBITDA	ratio	of	less	than	3.50:1:00	and	an	interest	coverage	ratio	greater	than	2:50:1:00	as	at	
December	31,	2020.	Amounts	drawn	on	the	credit	facility	incur	interest	at	bank	prime	rate	plus	1.00%	to	2.25%	or	the	Bankers’	
Acceptance	rate	plus	2.00%	to	3.25%.	The	credit	facility	has	a	standby	fee	ranging	from	0.50%	to	0.81%.

As	at	December	31,	2020,	the	Corporation	was	in	compliance	with	all	financial	and	non-financial	covenants	related	to	the	credit	
facility	and	available	borrowing	capacity	was	$81.6	million,	which	includes	$7.0	million	in	letters	of	credit.	

The	operating	facility	in	place	at	December	31,	2019	was	Dexterra’s	stand-alone	facility	prior	to	the	Acquisition.	The	facility	was	
repaid	and	cancelled	upon	closing	the	Acquisition.

Restricted	Share	Units	("RSU")	and	Performance	Share	Units	("PSU")	incentive	award	plan

The	 Corporation	 has	 a	 RSU	 Plan	 and	 a	 PSU	 Plan	 whereby	 RSUs	 and	 PSUs	 may	 be	 granted,	 subject	 to	 certain	 terms	 and	
conditions.	

Under	the	terms	of	the	RSU	plan,	the	awarded	units	vest	in	three	equal	portions	on	the	first,	second	and	third	anniversary	from	
the	grant	date,	and	will	be	settled	in	cash	in	the	amount	equal	to	the	fair	market	value	of	the	Corporation's	share	price	on	that	
date.	There	are	no	RSUs	outstanding	as	at	December	31,	2020.	Subsequent	to	year-end,	the	Corporation	issued	28,970	RSUs	to	
directors	which	will	be	settled	in	cash	upon	vesting.	

Under	the	terms	of	the	PSU	plan,	the	awarded	units	vest	on	the	third	anniversary	of	the	grant	date	according	to	the	vesting	
criteria,	and	the	vested	units	will	be	settled	in	cash	in	the	amount	equal	to	the	fair	market	value	of	the	Corporation's	share	price	
on	that	date.	The	vesting	criteria	is	fixed	by	the	Board	of	Directors.	Performance	Criteria	set	by	the	Board	at	the	time	of	the	
grant	 of	 PSUs,	 may	 include	 i)	 total	 shareholder	 return,	 including	 dividends;	 ii)	 the	 participant’s	 satisfactory	 individual	
performance;	and	(iii)	any	other	terms	and	conditions	the	Board	may	in	its	discretion	determine	with	respect	to	vesting.	There	
are	no	PSUs	outstanding	as	at	December	31,	2020.	Subsequent	to	year-end,	the	Corporation	issued	301,454	PSUs	to	its	officers	
and	key	employees	which	will	be	settled	in	cash	upon	vesting,	if	the	performance	criteria	are	met.

The	contract	assets	relate	to	the	Corporation's	rights	for	work	completed	but	not	billed	at	the	reporting	date,	mainly	related	to	
the	modular	business,	and	are	included	in	trade	and	other	receivables.	The	contract	assets	are	transferred	to	receivables	when	
the	 rights	 become	 unconditional.	 This	 usually	 occurs	 when	 the	 Corporation	 completes	 a	 construction	 milestone	 under	 the	
agreed	upon	contract.	The	balance	is	made	up	of	$24.0	million	in	accrued	construction	receivables,	net	of	holdbacks	of	$5.1	
million,	 and	 $11.2	 million	 in	 holdbacks	 receivable	 from	 customers,	 which	 are	 generally	 due	 within	 three	 to	 six	 months	 of	
services	being	completed.	The	contract	liabilities	relate	to	payments	received	from	customers	for	which	revenue	is	recognized	
over	time.

The	amount	of	$2.9	million	recognized	in	contract	liabilities	at	the	beginning	of	the	year	has	been	recognized	as	revenue	for	the	
year	 ended	 December	 31,	 2020,	 with	 the	 exception	 of	 $0.5	 million	 included	 in	 deferred	 revenue	 as	 at	 December	 31,	 2019,	
which	is	being	amortized	over	1.5	years.

As	 all	 contracts	 have	 an	 expected	 duration	 of	 one	 year	 or	 less,	 the	 Corporation	 has	 taken	 the	 practical	 expedient	 and	 not	
disclosed	the	remaining	performance	obligations	as	at	December	31,	2020.	

Other	revenue

Other	 revenue	 of	 $6.6	 million	 comprises	 amounts	 awarded	 to	 the	 Corporation	 through	 legal	 proceedings	 with	 two	 former	
customers.	 The	 recovery	 of	 expenses	 of	 $1.3	 million	 was	 recorded	 against	 legal	 costs	 in	 selling,	 general	 and	 administrative	
expenses.

17.	Income	taxes	

For	the	year	ended	December	31,	2020,	the	Corporation's	effective	income	tax	rate	was	16%.	The	lower	tax	rate	for	the	year	
was	primarily	due	to	the	Acquisition	and	related	non-taxable	bargain	purchase	gain.	

For	the	year	ended	December	31,	2019,	the	Corporation's	effective	income	tax	rate	of	26%	was	relatively	consistent	with	the	
statutory	rate.	

The	Corporation	has	non-capital	losses	for	Canadian	tax	purposes	of	$76.3	million	available	to	reduce	future	taxable	income	in	
Canada,	and	non-capital	losses	for	United	States	tax	purposes	of	$0.8	million	available	to	reduce	future	taxable	income	in	the	
United	States.	The	Corporation	expects	to	fully	utilize	these	losses	before	their	expiry	except	as	noted	below.

Deferred	tax	assets	of	$2.0	million	have	not	been	recognized	in	respect	of	$7.2	million	of	tax	losses	because	it	is	not	probable	
that	future	taxable	profit	will	be	generated	against	which	the	subsidiary	of	the	Corporation	can	utilize	the	benefits.

22.	Financial	risk	management

								Overview

The	Corporation	is	exposed	to	a	number	of	different	financial	risks	arising	from	the	normal	course	of	business	operations	as	well	
as	through	the	Corporation’s	financial	instruments	comprised	of	cash	and	cash	equivalents,	trade	and	other	receivables,	trade	
and	 other	 payables,	 and	 loans	 and	 borrowings.	 These	 risk	 factors	 include	 credit	 risk,	 liquidity	 risk,	 and	 market	 risk,	 including	
currency	exchange	risk	and	interest	rate	risk.

The	Corporation’s	risk	management	practices	include	identifying,	analyzing	and	monitoring	the	risks	faced	by	the	Corporation.	
The	 following	 presents	 information	 about	 the	 Corporation’s	 exposure	 to	 each	 of	 the	 risks	 and	 the	 Corporation’s	 objectives,	
policies	and	processes	for	measuring	and	managing	risk.	For	additional	risks	and	uncertainties	regarding	the	Corporation,	please	
refer	to	Risk	Factors	in	Appendix	A	of	the	Annual	Information	Form.

COVID-19	Pandemic

The	rapid	spread	of	the	COVID-19	virus,	which	was	declared	by	the	World	Health	Organization	to	be	a	pandemic	on	March	11,	
2020,	and	actions	taken	globally	in	response	to	COVID-19,	have	significantly	disrupted	business	activities	throughout	the	world.	
The	Corporation's	business	relies,	to	a	certain	extent,	on	free	movement	of	goods,	services,	and	capital	within	Canada,	which	
has	 been	 significantly	 restricted	 as	 a	 result	 of	 the	 COVID-19	 pandemic.	 Given	 the	 ongoing	 and	 dynamic	 nature	 of	 the	
circumstances	surrounding	COVID-19,	it	is	difficult	to	predict	how	significant	the	impact	of	COVID-19,	including	any	responses	to	
it,	will	be	on	the	economy	and	the	Corporation’s	business	in	particular,	or	for	how	long	any	disruptions	are	likely	to	continue.	
The	 extent	 of	 such	 impact	 will	 depend	 on	 future	 developments,	 which	 are	 highly	 uncertain,	 rapidly	 evolving	 and	 difficult	 to	
predict,	including	additional	actions	which	may	be	taken	to	contain	COVID-19,	as	well	as	the	timing	of	the	re-opening	of	the	
economy	in	Canada.	Such	further	developments	could	have	a	material	adverse	effect	on	the	Corporation's	business,	financial	
condition,	results	of	operations	and	cash	flows.

The	 management	 team	 has	 implemented	 plans	 to	 modify	 the	 cost	 structure	 to	 mitigate	 the	 impact	 of	 COVID-19,	 while	
continuing	 to	 provide	 essential	 services	 to	 its	 clients.	 Additionally,	 the	 Corporation	 has	 applied	 for	 government	 support	
programs	and	qualified	for	$32.9	million	of	Canada	Emergency	Wage	Subsidy	("CEWS")	funding	for	the	year	ended	December	
31,	2020,	which	has	helped	to	offset	the	negative	earnings	impact	of	COVID-19.

The	 Corporation	 continues	 to	 monitor	 the	 recoverability	 of	 trade	 receivables	 and	 the	 impact	 of	 current	 and	 expected	 future	
credit	losses	are	reflected	in	the	expected	credit	loss	provisions.	There	was	no	significant	impact	to	expected	future	credit	losses	
due	to	COVID-19	at	December	31,	2020.	Further	developments	related	to	the	economy	in	Canada,	which	were	unforeseen	as	at	
December	 31,	 2020,	 could	 have	 an	 adverse	 effect	 on	 the	 recoverability	 of	 trade	 receivables	 and	 the	 expected	 credit	 loss	
provision.	The	ultimate	impact	of	COVID-19	on	the	Corporation's	liquidity	and	future	cash	flows	may	not	be	fully	known	for	an	
extended	period	of	time.

As	 at	 December	 31,	 2020,	 the	 Corporation	 provided	 for	 expected	 credit	 losses	 in	 the	 amount	 of	 $1.7	 million.	 Due	 to	 the	
COVID-19	 pandemic	 and	 the	 resulting	 material	 disruption	 to	 businesses	 globally,	 combined	 with	 the	 significant	 decline	 in	
commodity	prices,	the	provision	includes	$0.7	million	recorded	for	the	year	ended	December	31,	2020	that	specifically	relates	
to	higher	risk	receivables	from	customers	operating	in	the	oil	&	gas	and	mining	industries.

The	 Corporation	 had	 no	 major	 customers	 who	 generated	 greater	 than	 10%	 of	 revenue	 in	 2020,	 compared	 to	 one	 major

financial	instruments.

i.

Foreign	currency	exchange	risk	

The	 Corporation	 has	 limited	 exposure	 to	 foreign	 currency	 exchange	 risk	 as	 sales	 and	 purchases	 are	 typically	
denominated	in	CAD.	The	Corporation’s	exposure	to	foreign	currency	exchange	risk	arises	from	the	purchase	of	some	
raw	materials,	which	are	denominated	in	USD,	and	foreign	operations	with	USD	functional	currency.

As	the	foreign	currency	exchange	risks	are	primarily	based	on	the	realized	foreign	exchange,	the	following	sensitivity	
analysis	is	to	determine	the	impact	on	cash	used	in	operating	activities.	The	effect	of	a	$0.01	increase	in	the	USD/CAD	
exchange	 rate	 would	 decrease	 cash	 used	 in	 operating	 activities	 for	 the	 year	 ended	 2020	 by	 approximately	 $0.02	
million	(December	31,	2019	-	$0.06	million).	This	assumes	that	the	quantity	of	USD	raw	material	purchases	and	the	
foreign	operations	in	the	year	remain	unchanged	and	that	the	change	in	the	USD/CAD	exchange	rate	is	effective	from	
the	beginning	of	the	year.	

ii.

Interest	rate	risk	

The	Corporation	is	exposed	to	interest	rate	risk	as	changes	in	interest	rates	may	affect	interest	expense	and	future	
cash	flows.	The	primary	exposure	is	related	to	the	Corporation’s	revolving	credit	facility	which	bears	interest	at	a	rate	
of	prime	plus	1.00%	to	2.25%	or	the	Bankers’	Acceptance	rate	plus	2.00%	to	3.25%.	If	prime	were	to	have	increased	
by	1.00%,	it	is	estimated	that	the	Corporation’s	net	earnings	would	have	decreased	by	approximately	$0.7	million	for	
the	 year	 ended	 December	 31,	 2020.	 This	 assumes	 that	 the	 amount	 and	 mix	 of	 fixed	 and	 floating	 rate	 debt	 in	 the	
period	remains	unchanged	and	that	the	change	in	interest	rates	is	effective	from	the	beginning	of	the	period.

The	Corporation	has	a	49%	interest	in	the	ownership	and	voting	rights	of	Kitikmeot,	Acho,	Secwepemc,	HRHN,	TLHN,	Tahltan,	
Acden,	 Sekui,	 Eclipse,	 DKHN,	 STHN	 and	 Tangmaarvik	 and	 maintains	 two	 out	 of	 four	 board	 of	 director	 seats	 in	 these	 special	
purpose	entities	(“SPE”).	These	SPE’s	are	consolidated	when,	based	on	an	evaluation	of	the	substance	of	its	relationship	with	
the	 Corporation	 and	 the	 SPE’s	 risks	 and	 rewards,	 the	 Corporation	 concludes	 that	 it	 controls	 the	 SPE.	 The	 SPE’s,	 other	 than	
Tangmaarvik,	do	not	have	net	earnings	but	rather	have	limited	assets	and	the	only	non-flow	through	expenses	are	management	
fees	paid	to	the	partners.	An	aboriginal	billing	vehicle	or	partnership	is	required	to	achieve	aboriginal	participation	and	secure	
projects	in	specific	regions	of	Canada.	The	Corporation’s	control	is	established	under	terms	that	impose	strict	limitations	on	the	
decision-making	powers	of	the	SPE’s	management.	The	control	results	in	the	Corporation	receiving	the	majority	of	the	benefits	
related	 to	 the	 SPE’s	 operations	 and	 net	 assets,	 being	 exposed	 to	 the	 majority	 of	 risks	 incident	 to	 the	 SPE’s	 activities	 and	
retaining	the	majority	of	the	residual	or	ownership	risks	related	to	the	SPE’s	or	their	assets.	The	SPE's,	other	than	Tangmaarvik,	
were	acquired	as	part	of	the	Acquisition.
