LETTER FROM THE 
CHAIR OF THE BOARD

To our shareholders:

Thank you for the continued trust you have 
placed in your Board of Directors and the 
management team. It has been a busy year! 
Your company made significant progress in 
executing its short-term vision and strategy 
to become a Canadian services champion 
with over $1 billion in revenue and over 
$100 million in EBITDA. 

The performance of our employees was 
exemplary given the continued business 
restrictions related to COVID-19. Diverse 
teams from across the country acted with 
agility, care, and a customer-first focus. I 
want to thank them for their dedication, 
hard work, and support every day in making 
Dexterra a better company. 

Dexterra Group Annual Report 2021   |   4          

Our financial performance and progress 
in 2021 were also strong. We added new 
customers, new modular capacity, reduced 
our debt level, entered into a new credit 
facility that gives us financial flexibility for 
future growth, increased our dividend to 
shareholders, and closed two important 
acquisitions shortly after year end. These 
combined developments translated into 
higher shareholder value and give us a 
strong foundation for future growth.

We are optimistic about the opportunities 
that lie ahead of us. Thank you for your 
continued support over the past year. 
We also hope you will join us and look 
forward to answering your questions at our 
shareholders’ meeting on May 11, 2022.

Bill McFarland
Chair of the Board 

LETTER FROM 
THE CEO

To our Dexterra Group stakeholders:

2021 was an important year in the evolution 
of Dexterra Group. While restrictions began 
to ease throughout the year, the COVID-19 
pandemic continued to pose challenges 
for Canadian businesses. The resilience of 
our business was evident in completing 
a successful year, thanks to the quality of 
our people, systems, and tools. We also 
remained committed to growth and 
investments in people and systems. 

I would like to thank the more than 
7,500 Dexterra Group employees across 
Canada, who have done an outstanding 
job supporting our customers this year. 
The quality of our people, our business 
model, and the excellent service our teams 
deliver to our clients have been important 

differentiators for us and will help us meet 
our growth aspirations in the future. Our 
decentralized model, with nimble and 
accountable business units and fewer 
layers of management, push decision 
making closer to our clients so we can 
react with agility. 

Our people also reached new heights 
when Dexterra Group was named 
Canada’s Safest Employer in the Services 
Sector by Canadian Occupational Safety 
and Lee-Anne Lyon-Bartley, Executive 
Vice-President, Health, Safety, 
Environment & Quality, was named 
one of the 100 Accomplished Black 
Canadian Women by 100ABCWomen 
in their annual publication. 

We started the new year strong by 
successfully closing two M&A deals in 
January 2022, which add new skills, expand 
our footprint in the facilities management 
sector, and will add over $130 million in 

Dexterra Group Annual Report 2021   |   5          

revenue. Our business also celebrated 
some major milestones in 2021. We shared 
our first Sustainability Report, which 
highlights how we are strengthening 
our organization through environmental, 
social, and governance initiatives. We 
expanded our services business in the 
Workforce Accommodations, Forestry, and 
Energy Services business unit with new 
wins, emphasizing our capabilities in food 
services, housekeeping and caretaking. In 
2021, we also converted 55 per cent EBITDA 
to FCF, with the target of increasing that 
conversion over time. 

THE VALUES WE LIVE BY

I want to thank our customers, clients, 
partners, and shareholders, who have 
supported us over the past year and the 
Board of Directors for its insights and 
support. It has been a privilege to be CEO 
and work with our various stakeholders 
and successfully navigate through these 
challenging times.

John Mac Cuish
Chief Executive Officer

Accountability
We don’t just walk by. We own our 
successes and setbacks. 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.

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

Partnership
Service is what we sell. By asking 
for, listening to and acting on client 
feedback, we create long-term, 
successful partnerships.

Please	refer	to	the	“Non-GAAP	measures”	section	for	the	definition	of	Adjusted	EBITDA,	Adjusted	EBITDA	excluding	CEWS	as	a	%	of	revenue	and	Free	Cash	Flow	and	to	the	“Reconciliation	
of	non-GAAP	measures”	section	for	the	related	calculations.	
All	2020	share	and	per	share	data	presented	has	been	retroactively	adjusted	to	reflect	the	five-for-one	share	consolidation	completed	on	July	16,	2020.
2020	comparative	information	includes	the	results	of	Horizon	North	Logistics	Inc.	from	May	29,	2020	onwards	which	was	the	effective	date	of	the	Acquisition	(as	defined	below	under	the	
heading	“Core	Business”).	

Non-GAAP	measures	

Certain	measures	and	ratios	in	this	MD&A	do	not	have	any	standardized	meaning	as	prescribed	by	GAAP	and,	therefore,	are	
considered	non-GAAP	measures.	Non-GAAP	measures	include	“Adjusted	EBITDA”,	calculated	as	earnings	before	interest,	taxes,	
depreciation,	 amortization,	 equity	 investment	 depreciation,	 share	 based	 compensation,	 bargain	 purchase	 (gain)	 reduction,	
gain/loss	 on	 disposal	 of	 property,	 plant	 and	 equipment	 and	 non-recurring	 items;	 “Adjusted	 EBITDA	 excluding	 Canada	
Emergency	 Wage	 Subsidy	 (“CEWS”)	 as	 a	 percentage	 of	 revenue”,	 calculated	 as	 Adjusted	 EBITDA	 excluding	 CEWS	 divided	 by	
revenue;	“Free	Cash	Flow”,	calculated	as	net	cash	flows	from	(used	in)	operating	activities,	less	sustaining	capital	expenditures,	
purchase	of	intangible	assets,	lease	payments	and	finance	costs	plus	proceeds	on	the	sale	of	property,	plant	and	equipment;	
and	“Backlog”	which	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.		These	measures	and	ratios	provide	investors	with	supplemental	measures	of	Dexterra	
Group's	operating	performance	and	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	 Makers	 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	 consistent	 basis	 for	 comparison	 between	 periods.	 These	 measures	 should	 not	 be	
construed	as	alternatives	to	net	earnings	and	total	comprehensive	income	or	operating	cash	flows	as	determined	in	accordance	
with	 GAAP	 as	 indicators	 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:	
Integrated	Facilities	Management	(“IFM”),	Workforce	Accommodations,	Forestry	and	Energy	Services	(“WAFES”),	and	Modular	
Solutions.	

Our	 Integrated	 Facilities	 Management	 business	 delivers	 operations	 and	 maintenance	 solutions	 for	 built	 assets	 and	
infrastructure	in	the	public	and	private	sectors,	including	government,	commercial,	defence,	education,	healthcare	and	aviation.	
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	rapid	affordable	
housing,	specialty	kiosks,	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	 Logistics	 Inc.)	 completed	 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.,	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	maintained	a	51%	interest.	Prior	to	
the	 Acquisition,	 Fairfax	 Financial	 had	 no	 ownership	 interest	 in	 Dexterra	 Group.	 For	 accounting	 purposes,	 the	 business	
combination	 constituted	 a	 reverse	 acquisition	 that	 involved	 a	 change	 of	 control	 of	 Dexterra	 Group	 as	 Dexterra	 was	 the	
accounting	acquirer	and	Fairfax	Financial	controls	the	Corporation.	The	Corporation	also	changed	its	name	in	2020	to	Dexterra	
Group	 Inc.	 2020	 comparative	 information	 included	 herein	 is	 solely	 Dexterra	 up	 until	 the	 Acquisition	 closing	 date	 of	 May	 29,	
2020.	 Horizon	 North	 Logistics	 Inc.	 financial	 results	 are	 included	 subsequent	 to	 the	 Acquisition	 closing	 date	 and	 a	 bargain	
purchase	gain	of	$29.9	million	was	recorded	on	Acquisition.	

On	 July	 16,	 2020,	 the	 Corporation	 completed	 a	 five-for-one	 share	 consolidation	 of	 all	 of	 its	 issued	 and	 outstanding	 common	
shares.	All	share	and	per	share	data	presented,	including	share	options	outstanding,	has	been	retroactively	adjusted	to	reflect	
the	share	consolidation,	unless	otherwise	noted.	

Consolidated	Results	for	2021

Consolidated	 revenue	 totaled	 $733.4	 million	 for	 2021	 compared	 to	 $477.8	 million	 in	 the	 prior	 year,	 an	 increase	 of	 $255.5	
million,	primarily	due	to	full	year	operations	in	2021	of	the	acquired	Horizon	North	Logistics	Inc.	business	and	improved	market	
conditions	 and	 growth	 as	 COVID-19	 restrictions	 were	 reduced.	 The	 Corporation	 reported	 consolidated	 net	 earnings	 of	$24.6	
million	 for	 2021	 which	 was	 lower	 than	 2020	 due	 to	 the	 non-taxable	 $29.9	 million	 non-cash	 bargain	 purchase	 gain	 ("BPG")	
related	to	the	Acquisition	in	2020	and	lower	CEWS	in	2021	of	$23.8	million	when	compared	to	2020	offset	by	better	business	
conditions	and	growth	described	above.

The	 Corporation	 generated	 consolidated	 revenue	 of	$201.6	 million	 for	 Q4	 2021,	 which	 increased	 $37.2	 million,	 or	 23%,	
when	compared	to	Q4	2020.	The	increase	in	revenue	is	mainly	attributed	to	growth	in	the	WAFES	business	segment	due	to	
improved	market	conditions	and	new	business	won	in	2021;

The	Corporation’s	Adjusted	EBITDA	for	Q4	2021	was	$18.1	million,	which	increased	by	$0.6	million	compared	to	Q4	2020	
and	reflected	no	CEWS	in	Q4	2021	(2020	-	$4.2	million).	Adjusted	EBITDA	in	Q4	2021	also	excluded	a	$1.7	million	net	loss	
recorded	in	corporate	to	settle	a	dispute	related	to	a	contract	in	place	at	the	time	of	the	reverse	takeover;	

Consolidated	net	earnings	increased	by	$4.1	million	in	Q4	2021	as	compared	with	Q4	2020.	Q4	2020	included	a	bargain	
purchase	reduction	of	$4.2	million	in	expense;	

The	IFM	business	had	Q4	2021	revenue	of	$39.3	million,	which	increased	2%	from	Q4	2020	with	a	gradual	reopening	of	
airports	and	retail	facilities.	Adjusted	EBITDA	of	$2.5	million	in	Q4	2021	was	similar	to	Q4	2020,	which	had	$1.0	million	of	
CEWS;

The	WAFES	business	had	Q4	2021	revenue	of	$111.9	million,	an	increase	of	$33.7	million	compared	to	Q4	2020.	Adjusted	
EBITDA	 for	 the	 same	 period	 was	 $18.5	 million,	 an	 increase	 of	 $4.0	 million	 from	 Q4	 2020.	 CEWS	 of	 $2.8	 million	 was	
recorded	in	Q4	2020.

The	Modular	Solutions	business	had	Q4	2021	revenue	of	$46.5	million	and	Adjusted	EBITDA	of	$2.9	million,	a	decrease	of	
$1.7	million	and	$1.4	million,	respectively,	as	compared	to	Q4	2020.	The	decreases	are	due	to	ongoing	delays	in	the	rapid

The	Corporation	closed	on	two	IFM	acquisitions	in	January	2022:		

◦

◦

Dana	Hospitality	LP	(“Dana”)	effective	January	1,	2022	(the	“Dana	Acquisition”).	The	purchase	price	was	$31.5

has	approximately	$100	million	in	annual	contracts	post-pandemic;	and

TRICOM	Facility	Services	Group	(“Tricom”)	on	January	31,	2022,	for	$19	million	(the	“Tricom	Acquisition”).	Tricom	
delivers	contract	janitorial	and	associated	building	maintenance	services	and	supplies	custodial	equipment	and	
consumables	 to	 clients	 in	 major	 centres	 across	 Canada	 and	 has	 a	 small	 U.S	 presence.	 Tricom	 has	 a	 book	 of

Integrated	Facilities	Management

For	Q4	2021,	IFM	revenues	were	$39.3	million	and	increased	by	$0.7	million,	or	2%,	from	the	$38.5	million	in	Q4	2020.	The	
increase	 is	 mainly	 attributable	 to	 the	 reduction	 of	 certain	 COVID-19	 health	 measures	 and	 net	 new	 business.	 Management	
expects	 an	 upward	 trend	 in	 revenue	 to	 continue	 as	 provincial	 COVID-19	 restrictions	 are	 lifted,	 especially	 in	 the	 aviation	 and	
retail	sectors.	Revenue	from	airports	is	still	significantly	below	pre-pandemic	levels,	at	approximately	60%	in	Q4	2021,	despite	
the	 higher	 passenger	 travel	 activity	 levels	 compared	 to	 Q4	 2020.	 We	 expect	 the	 return	 to	 pre-pandemic	 travel	 levels	 to	 be	
gradual	over	2022	and	into	2023.	We	are	winning	new	contracts	across	all	segments	of	the	business	and	are	experiencing	a	very	
competitive	landscape	for	new	work	and	on	contract	renewals.	The	increase	in	scale	of	operations	with	the	Dana	and	Tricom	
acquisitions	 will	 also	 support	 revenue	 growth	 and	 result	 in	 cross-selling	 opportunities	 with	 the	 expanded	 client	 base	 as	 we	
move	into	a	post-pandemic	environment.

Management’s	Discussion	and	Analysis
Three	months	and	years	ended	December	31,	2021	and	2020

Adjusted	EBITDA	excluding	CEWS	as	a	percentage	of	revenue	was	6%	for	Q4	2021,	which	is	an	improvement	from	4%	recorded	
in	 Q4	 2020.	 The	 margins	 for	 the	 segment	 have	 continued	 to	 improve	 from	 Q4	 2020	 as	 COVID-19	 restrictions	 are	 lifted.	 IFM	
margins	continued	to	be	impacted	in	Q4	2021	by	overtime	costs	caused	by	staffing	issues,	supply	chain	inflation	and	reduced	
project	work	due	to	the	Omicron	variant.

IFM	 revenues	 for	 the	 year	 ended	 December	 31,	 2021	 were	 $155.1	 million	 and	 increased	 by	 $7.9	 million	 or	 5%	 from	 the	
$147.2	million	in	2020.	The	growth	in	the	segment	was	attributable	to	increased	customer	volumes.	Certain	key	industry	sectors	
such	 as	 aviation	 and	 retail,	 continued	 to	 have	 reduced	 volumes	 compared	 to	 pre-pandemic	 periods.	 Management	 is	
experiencing	increased	bidding	activity	and,	in	addition,	the	Dana	and	Tricom	Acquisitions	have	broadened	our	service	offerings	
and	are	expected	to	support	growth	in	the	future.	

For	the	year	ended	December	31,	2021,	Adjusted	EBITDA	excluding	CEWS	as	a	percentage	of	revenue	for	this	segment	was	7%	
which	 is	 improved	 from	 5%	 for	 the	 year	 ended	 December	 31,	 2020.	 The	 improvement	 is	 mainly	 due	 to	 better	 project	
management	and	management	delivering	on	operational	improvements	as	compared	with	2020	as	the	Corporation	dealt	with	
shutdowns	due	to	COVID-19.

Direct	Costs

Direct	costs	are	comprised	of	labour,	materials,	supplies	and	transportation,	which	vary	directly	in	proportion	with	revenues,	
and	have	a	relatively	fixed	component	that	includes	rent	and	utilities.	Direct	Costs	for	Q4	2021	were	$35.8	million	compared	to	
$34.8	million	in	Q4	2020,	an	increase	of	$0.9	million,	or	3%,	which	is	consistent	with	the	2%	increase	in	revenue	in	the	segment	
compared	with	Q4	2020.

For	the	year	ended	December	31,	2021,	direct	costs	were	$136.3	million,	compared	to	$121.8	million	in	2020.	This	increase	of	
$14.5	million	is	primarily	due	to	the	$12.0	million	of	additional	CEWS	received	in	2020	compared	to	2021	with	the	remaining	
increase	related	to	better	cost	control.	

WAFES

WAFES	is	comprised	of	two	revenue	streams:	Workforce	accommodations	(“WA”)	&	Forestry	and	Energy	Services.	A	significant	
portion	of	our	WAFES	business	is	support	services	which	is	not	capital	intensive	and	has	similar	characteristics	to	our	integrated	
facilities	management	business.	The	remainder	of	the	WAFES	business	relates	to	asset-based	services.

WAFES	support	services	includes	assisting	clients	with	food	and	facilities	services	on-site	at	their	remote	locations.	The	Forestry	
services	 business	 is	 also	 part	 of	 WAFES	 support	 services.	 For	 2021,	 support	 services	 comprised	 45%	 of	 WAFES	 revenue.	 The	
proportion	of	revenue	attributable	to	support	services	is	expected	to	grow	in	the	future.	

WA	asset-based	services	represents	remote	WA	activities	in	which	the	accommodation	structures	are	owned	and	installed	by	
Dexterra	Group	as	part	of	an	equipment	supply	contract	or	bundled	with	food	and	facilities	services	as	in	the	case	of	turn-key	
camp	 contracts	 or	 the	 Corporation’s	 open	 lodge	 operations.	 This	 asset-based	 service	 category	 also	 includes	 Energy	 Services,	
where	the	Corporation	owns	the	matting	and	relocatable	structures,	which	are	sold	or	rented	to	clients.	For	2021,	asset-based	
services	comprised	55%	of	WAFES	revenue.		

Revenue	from	the	WAFES	segment	for	Q4	2021	was	$111.9	million,	an	increase	of	$33.7	million	compared	to	Q4	2020.	WAFES	
revenue	performance	was	strong	in	Q4	2021	due	to	new	sales,	stronger	camp	occupancy	and	improved	mat	and	relocatable	
structures	utilization	due	to	increased	activity	in	the	resource	and	energy	sectors.	

Adjusted	 EBITDA	 excluding	 CEWS	 as	 a	 percentage	 of	 revenue	 for	 Q4	 2021	 was	 16%,	 which	 is	 higher	 than	 the	 Q4	 2020	
comparative	 of	 15%,	 due	 to	 higher	 margin	 sales	 and	 higher	 activity	 levels.	 The	 Corporation	 also	 successfully	 negotiated	
improved	commercial	terms	in	Q4	2021	for	services	previously	provided	to	a	large	client.	This	resulted	in	additional	one	time	
revenue	in	Q4	2021	of	$1.8	million.	

Revenue	 from	 the	 WAFES	 segment	 for	 the	 year	 ended	 December	 31,	 2021	 was	 $393.8	 million,	 an	 increase	 of	 $159.1	 million	
compared	 to	 2020.	 The	 increase	 in	 segment	 revenues	 was	 primarily	 driven	 by	 a	 full	 year	 of	 results	 for	 the	 Horizon	 North	
Logistics	Inc.	business	in	2021,	which	added	$96.2	million	to	revenue	reported	in	2021,	with	the	remaining	$63.0	million	being	
attributable	to	growth.	The	growth	represents	the	recovery	from	low	activity	levels	in	2020	due	to	the	COVID-19	pandemic	and	
new	contracts	won	in	2021.

Adjusted	EBITDA	excluding	CEWS	as	a	percentage	of	revenue	was	17%	for	the	year	ended	December	31,	2021	compared	to	15%	
for	 the	 prior	 year.	 This	 increase	 resulted	 from	 strong	 margins	 as	 we	 scale	 the	 business	 and	 focus	 on	 the	 services	 business	
component.	In	addition,	there	were	fewer	carrying	costs	relating	to	underutilized	staff	and	equipment	compared	to	2020.

Revenues	from	Energy	Services	were	$11.2	million	and	$35.9	million	for	the	three	months	and	year	ended	December	31,	2021,	
respectively.	Revenues	for	Q4	2021	were	up	$4.7	million	from	$6.5	million	in	Q4	2020	due	to	a	large	sale	of	mats	of	$5.3	million.	
Both	the	relocatable	structures	and	matting	business	experienced	higher	utilization	rates	in	the	second	half	of	2021	given	the	
stronger	energy	services	environment.

Management’s	Discussion	and	Analysis
Three	months	and	years	ended	December	31,	2021	and	2020

Direct	Costs

Direct	 costs	 are	 comprised	 of	 labour,	 materials,	 supplies	 and	 transportation,	 which	 vary	 directly	 with	 revenues,	 and	 have	 a	
relatively	 fixed	 component,	 that	 includes	 rent	 and	 utilities.	 Direct	 costs	 in	 the	 WAFES	 business	 unit	 for	Q4	 2021	 were	 $93.2	
million	or	83%	of	revenue,	compared	to	84%	of	revenue	for	Q4	2020	after	excluding	for	the	additional	CEWS	received	in	Q4	
2020	 of	 $2.8	 million.	 The	 decrease	 in	 the	 percentage	 of	 direct	 costs	 when	 compared	 to	 the	 prior	 year	 is	 due	 to	 the	 positive	
impact	of	improved	utilization	in	2021.	

Direct	costs	after	excluding	the	CEWS	for	the	year	ended	December	31,	2021	were	$325.7	million	or	83%	of	revenue,	which	is	
consistent	with	81%	of	revenue	for	2020.		

Management	continues	to	be	focused	on	managing	costs	as	we	navigate	through	the	spread	of	the	Omicron	variant	and	the	
impacts	 to	 this	 business	 unit	 which	 include	 increasing	 food	 costs,	 labour	 shortages	 and	 hiring	 challenges,	 as	 well	 as	 strained	
supply	chains.	These	impacts	are	expected	to	be	of	diminishing	magnitude	as	we	move	towards	a	post-pandemic	environment.	

Modular	Solutions	

Modular	 Solutions	 segment	 revenues	 for	 Q4	 2021	 were	 $46.5	 million,	 a	 decrease	 of	 $1.7	 million,	 or	 4%	 as	 compared	 to	 Q4	
2020.	The	segment	faced	temporary	site	and	administrative	delays	in	the	rapid	affordable	housing	projects	in	Ontario	and	site	
access	delays	on	projects	in	British	Columbia	caused	by	flooding.	Management	is	working	closely	with	municipalities	to	predict	
the	timing	of	projects	and	is	diversifying	the	customer	base	to	utilize	plant	capacity	and	optimize	overhead	absorption.	Revenue	
increased	 by	 $1.4	 million	 from	 Q3	 2021.	 Adjusted	 EBITDA	 for	 Q4	 2021	 was	 $2.9	 million,	 which	 was	 lower	 than	 Q4	 2020.	
Adjusted	EBITDA	excluding	CEWS	as	a	percentage	of	revenue	was	7%	for	the	quarter	which	is	consistent	with	Q4	2020	.

Revenue	from	the	Modular	segment	for	the	year	ended	December	31,	2021	was	$181.7	million,	an	increase	of	$82.9	million,	
which	is	mainly	attributable	to	a	full	year	of	operations	in	2021.	Adjusted	EBITDA	for	the	year	ended	December	31,	2021	was	
$13.3	 million,	 which	 is	 $2.7	 million	 higher	 than	 2020	 which	 also	 included	 $2.7	 million	 more	 CEWS	 support.	 Adjusted	 EBITDA	
excluding	CEWS	as	a	percentage	of	revenue	was	7.2%	for	the	year	ended	December	31,	2021,	which	was	consistent	with	2020.

A	key	metric	for	the	Modular	Solutions	segment	is	the	Backlog1	of	projects	and	timing	of	backlog	execution.	The	focus	for	this	
business	 unit	 is	 to	 secure	 and	 increase	 backlog,	 which	 was	 $78.6	 million	 for	 rapid	 affordable	 housing	 at	 the	 end	 of	 2021,	
excluding	 approximately	 $32	 million	 of	 contracts	 being	 finalized	 with	 existing	 customers	 and	 backlog	 of	 $19.4	 million	 for	
Industrial	and	U.S.	manufacturing	supply	projects.	Additionally,	Modular	Solutions	has	recurring	business	beyond	the	projects	
noted	above	for	approximately	$40	million	per	annum,	consisting	of	education	modules,	retail	stores	and	kiosks.	A	key	goal	over	
time	is	also	to	diversify	our	modular	product	market	verticals.	

Direct	Costs

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

Direct	costs	for	Q4	2021	were	91%,	as	compared	to	the	91%	of	revenue	in	Q3	2021,	and	89%	in	Q4	2020.	Direct	costs	for	the	
year	ended	December	31,	2021	were	90%	of	revenue,	as	compared	to	86%	in	2020.	The	direct	costs	as	a	percentage	of	revenue	
have	remained	fairly	consistent	throughout	the	periods.

Other	Items	

Selling,	General	&	Administrative	Expense

Selling,	general	&	administrative	(“SG&A”)	expenses	are	comprised	of	head	and	corporate	office	costs	including	the	executive	
officers	 and	 directors	 of	 the	 Corporation,	 and	 shared	 services,	 including	 human	 resources,	 finance	 &	 accounting,	 quality	
information	technology	and	the	associated	costs	of	supporting	a	public	company.	

SG&A	 expenses	 for	Q4	 2021	 were	 $9.5	 million,	 an	 increase	 of	 $3.3	 million	 when	 compared	 to	Q4	 2020.	 The	 corporate	 costs	
were	 abnormally	 lower	 in	 Q4	 2020	 due	 to	 a	 $1.2	 million	 legal	 cost	 recovery.	 Q4	 2021	 also	 includes	 $0.5	 million	 related	 to	
resolving	an	employment	contract	dispute	and	transaction	costs	of	$0.2	million.	SG&A	expenses	were	5%	of	total	revenue	in	Q4	
2021,	which	is	consistent	compared	to	both	Q3	2021	and	Q4	2020.	

SG&A	expenses	for	the	year	ended	December	31,	2021	were	$34.9	million,	an	increase	of	$12.7	million	compared	to	the	same	
period	 in	 2020,	 mainly	 due	 to	 a	 full	 year	 of	 operations	 for	 both	 predecessor	 companies.	 As	 a	 percentage	 of	 revenue,	 SG&A	
expenses	were	5%	for	the	year	ended	December	31,	2021,	which	is	consistent	with	2020.

For	 Q4	 2021,	 depreciation	 and	 amortization	 was	$8.9	 million,	 a	 decrease	 of	 $2.2	 million	 compared	 to	 Q4	 2020,	 which	 aligns	
with	the	decrease	in	the	carrying	value	of	property,	plant	and	equipment	and	right-of-use	assets	in	Q4	2021	comparing	to	Q4	
2020	 as	 more	 assets	 became	 fully	 depreciated.	 The	 Corporation	 also	 opportunistically	 sells	 excess	 equipment	 in	 the	 WAFES	
business.	

For	the	year	ended	December	31,	2021,	depreciation	and	amortization	was	$38.1	million,	an	increase	of	$13.0	million	compared	
to	2020,	mainly	due	to	the	timing	of	the	2020	Acquisition.	

Finance	costs	

Finance	costs	include	interest	 on	 loans	 and	borrowings,	interest	 on	lease	liabilities	and	accretion	of	debt	financing	costs	 and	
provisions.

The	 effective	 interest	 rate	 on	 loans	 and	 borrowings	 for	 the	 year	 ended	 December	 31,	 2021	 was	 3.4%	 (December	 31,	 2020	 -	
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	0.50%	to	1.75%	per	annum	based	on	an	EBITDA	coverage	ratio.	

Goodwill

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	 Dexterra	 Group.	 Goodwill	 is	 not	 amortized.	 A	 portion	 of	 the	 goodwill	 is	
deductible	for	tax	purposes.	The	Corporation	concluded	there	was	no	impairment	of	its	goodwill	at	December	31,	2021.	

Gain/Loss	on	disposal

For	Q4	2021,	the	gain	on	disposal	was	$0.3	million	compared	to	a	loss	on	disposal	of	$0.2	million	in	Q4	2020.	For	the	year	ended	
December	31,	2021,	the	gain	on	disposal	was	$0.4	million,	whereas	there	was	a	loss	on	disposal	of	$0.04	million	in	2020.	The	
gains	and	losses	on	disposals	are	typically	generated	from	the	sale	of	excess	WAFES	equipment.	

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	recognized.	For	
the	 three	 months	 and	 year	 ended	 December	 31,	 2021,	 earnings	of	 $0.1	 million	 and	 $0.3	 million	 were	 attributed	 to	 the	 non-
controlling	interest,	respectively,	compared	to	earnings	of	$0.1	million	and	$0.4	million	in	the	same	periods	of	the	prior	year.

Joint	Ventures	

Dexterra	Group	owns	49%	of	Gitxaala	Horizon	North	Services	LP	(“Gitxaala”)	and	Big	Spring	Lodging	Limited	Partnership	(“BSL	
LP”).	 Earnings	 from	 the	 joint	 ventures	 for	 the	 three	 months	 and	 year	 ended	 December	 31,	 2021	 were	$0.8	 million	 and	 $2.5	
million,	respectively	(2020	-	$0.4	million	and	$0.7	million,	respectively).	These	joint	ventures	provide	services	to	certain	camps	
and	utilize	Dexterra’s	staff	and	infrastructure	to	provide	the	services.	For	Gitxaala,	volumes	have	increased	from	the	prior	year	
as	more	relocatable	structures	were	rented	to	clients	for	the	full	year.	BSL	LP	began	operations	in	the	second	half	of	2021.	

Income	taxes

For	the	year	ended	December	31,	2021,	the	Corporation's	effective	income	tax	rate	was	26.1%,	compared	to	16%	in	2020.	The	
lower	 tax	 rate	 for	 the	 2020	 year	 was	 due	 to	 the	 Acquisition	 and	 related	 non-taxable	 bargain	 purchase	 gain.	 For	 the	 three	
months	ended	December	31,	2021,	the	Corporation’s	effective	income	tax	rate	was	26.0%	(2020	-	97.4%).	The	tax	rate	in	Q4	
2020	was	abnormal	due	to	the	$4.2	million	reduction	in	the	bargain	purchase	on	the	Acquisition	which	was	non-taxable.	The

Management’s	Discussion	and	Analysis
Three	months	and	years	ended	December	31,	2021	and	2020

effective	 tax	 rate	 for	 the	 three	 months	 and	 year	 ended	 December	 31,	 2021	 is	 consistent	 with	 the	 combined	 federal	 and	
provincial	income	tax	rate.

The	Corporation	has	non-capital	losses	for	Canadian	tax	purposes	of	$79.9	million	(December	31,	2020	-	$75.7	million)	available	
to	reduce	future	taxable	income	in	Canada.

The	Corporation	paid	$10.7	million	(2020	-	$3.3	million)	in	income	taxes	for	the	year	ended	December	31,	2021.	$3.3	million	of	
this	 amount	 related	 to	 amounts	 owing	 for	 the	 year	 ended	 December	 31,	 2020	 and	 $7.4	 million	 was	 paid	 for	 2021	 tax	
installments	of	which	$2.2	million	will	be	refunded	based	on	the	tax	reorganization	completed	late	in	the	year.	

COVID-19	Pandemic

The	situation	resulting	from	COVID-19	and	subsequent	variants	of	the	virus	is	uncertain	and	continues	to	evolve.	The	safety	of	
employees	 and	 customers	 continues	 to	 be	 a	 key	 priority.	 At	 this	 time,	 it	 is	 difficult	 to	 predict	 the	 impact	 the	 pandemic	 will	
continue	to	have	on	the	Corporation.	The	effective	response	to	the	changing	situation	with	the	COVID-19	pandemic	continues	
to	be	a	major	focus	in	the	business.	Recent	disruptions	to	the	supply	chain	have	been	experienced	and	are	being	managed.	In	
addition,	hiring	and	retaining	talent	continues	to	be	a	challenge	in	the	pandemic	environment.	We	are	actively	managing	our	
human	capital	resources	across	all	business	segments.	The	degree	of	COVID-19	related	impacts	in	2022	are	expected	to	vary	by	
geography,	driven	in	part	by	regional	vaccination	rates,	spread	of	new	variants,	provincial	government	restrictions	and	health	
system	capacities.	

COVID-19	has	adversely	affected	the	Corporation’s	financial	results	across	all	operating	segments,	with	varying	effects.	IFM	and	
WAFES	have	been	the	most	significantly	impacted.	IFM	by	reduced	services	in	the	retail	and	aviation	sectors	and	WAFES	has	
experienced	lower	camp	and	catering	activities	including	the	British	Columbia	government	mandated	shutdowns	in	2021	and	
the	temporary	closure	for	all	of	2021	of	our	Crossroads	Lodge.	Management	has	continued	to	invest	in	resources	for	the	future	
as	it	believes	the	COVID-19	pandemic	will	have	a	lessening	impact	on	its	business	in	2022.	

Outlook			

Operations	Outlook	

Overall	

The	 Corporation	 is	 poised	 for	 continued	 growth	 in	 2022	 as	 the	 economy	 is	 expected	 to	 move	 into	 a	 post-pandemic	
environment.	Management	remains	focused	on	executing	on	its	organic	and	M&A	expansion	strategy	by	using	a	capital	light	
service	model	along	with	its	strong	balance	sheet	to	drive	sustainable	growth.	The	acquisition	strategy	remains	active,	focusing	
on	expanding	geographically	and	certain	service	offerings.

IFM

In	 the	 IFM	 business,	 the	 organic	 growth	 prospects	 and	 annual	 growth	 rates	 for	 the	 overall	 market	 are	 significant.	 Dexterra	
Group	has	also	been	significantly	impacted	in	both	the	aviation	and	retail	sectors	and	expects	the	improvement	in	these	sectors	
to	 have	 a	 positive	 impact	 on	 its	 results	 as	 the	 population	 receives	 vaccinations	 and	 federal	 restrictions	 on	 travel	 lessen.	
Management	 forecasts	 that	 this	 improvement	 will	 be	 gradual	 through	 2022	 and	 into	 2023.	 The	 focus	 of	 this	 business	 is	 on	
winning	 new	 bids	 and	 maintaining	 profit	 margins	 while	 providing	 excellent	 service	 to	 existing	 clients.	 In	 addition,	 the	
acquisitions	of	Dana	and	Tricom	gives	us	a	new	base	of	clients	in	hospitality	and	other	verticals	and	new	skills	where	expansion	
possibilities	exist.	These	acquisitions	should	also	produce	more	cross-selling	opportunities.	

WAFES

The	 WAFES	 business	 is	 expected	 to	 continue	 to	 be	 strong	 in	 2022,	 commensurate	 with	 expanded	 natural	 resources	 activity	
nationwide.	 The	 Corporation	 is	 well	 positioned	 to	 take	 advantage	 in	 a	 highly	 competitive	 marketplace,	 including	 with	 the	
expected	reopening	of	its	Crossroads	Lodge	in	Kitimat,	British	Columbia.	This	facility	has	736	beds	and	is	expected	to	reopen	in	
the	summer	of	2022.	

Modular	

The	 demand	 for	 affordable	 housing	 in	 urban	 centers	 is	 strong.	 The	 CMHC’s	 Rapid	 Housing	 Initiative	 is	 an	 example	 of	
government	programs	seeking	to	address	the	immediate	need	and,	as	a	result,	driving	demand	for	modular	housing	solutions.	
Favorable	 conditions	 for	 the	 development	 of	 multi-unit	 housing	 (both	 public	 and	 private)	 are	 expected	 to	 continue	 for	 the	
foreseeable	future.	However,	labour	shortages,	project	delays	and	increasing	prices	of	materials	due	to	supply	chain	issues	are	
creating	short-term	challenges.	The	Corporation	plans	to	scale	and	further	diversify	this	business.

Management’s	Discussion	and	Analysis
Three	months	and	years	ended	December	31,	2021	and	2020

Subsequent	Events	

On	 January	 1,	 2022,	 Dexterra	 Group	 acquired	 100%	 of	 privately	 owned	 Canadian	 hospitality	 company	 Dana	 from	 Fulcrum	
Capital	 Partners	 for	 $31.5	 million.	 This	 acquisition	 expands	 the	 Corporation’s	 existing	 culinary	 services	 into	 education,	
entertainment,	 healthcare,	 and	 leisure	 activities	 and	 has	 approximately	 $100	 million	 in	 annual	 contracts.	 Dana’s	 business	 is	
expected	 to	 be	 impacted	 by	 the	 pandemic	 in	 2022	 so	 the	 full	 book	 of	 business	 will	 not	 be	 realized	 until	 at	 least	 2023.	 This	
acquisition	 broadens	 our	 service	 offerings,	 strengthens	 existing	 customer	 relations,	 and	 improves	 our	 ability	 to	 grow	 our	
hospitality	market	share	in	new	verticals.

On	January	31,	2022,	Dexterra	Group	acquired	100%	of	the	business	of	privately	owned	TRICOM	Facility	Services	Group.	Tricom	
delivers	contract	janitorial	and	associated	building	maintenance	services	and	supplies	custodial	equipment	and	consumables	to	
clients	 in	 major	 centres	 across	 Canada.	 This	 acquisition	 brings	 the	 Corporation	 several	 key	 contracts	 and	 client	 relationships,	
including	a	small	footprint	in	the	United	States.	The	purchase	price	was	$19	million,	and	has	performance-based	incentives	tied	
to	results	over	the	next	two	years,	with	an	additional	maximum	payout	of	$5	million.	Tricom’s	book	of	business	is	expected	to	
exceed	$35	million	post-pandemic	and	increases	Dexterra’s	presence	in	the	hotel,	rail	and	leisure	sectors.	

Both	 of	 these	 acquisitions	 are	 being	 financed	 using	 the	 Company’s	 current	 credit	 lines	 which	 had	 $124.5	 million	 of	 unused	
capacity	at	December	31,	2021.	

Liquidity	and	Capital	Resources	

For	the	three	months	ended	December	31,	2021,	cash	generated	from	operating	activities	was	$24.6	million,	compared	to	$34.0	
million	generated	in	the	same	period	of	2020.	The	Q4	2021	results	included	a	working	capital	investment	required	to	support	
business	growth.	In	addition,	cash	flows	from	operating	activities	in	Q4	2020	were	positively	impacted	by	$1.2	million	in	legal	
costs	refunded	and	CEWS	of	$4.2	million.		For	the	year	ended	December	31,	2021,	there	was	$64.5	million	cash	generated	from	
operating	 activities,	 compared	 to	 $72.8	 million	 generated	 in	 2020.	 This	 was	 driven	 by	 a	 full	 year	 of	 operations	 for	 both	
predecessor	companies	and	growth	in	the	business	which	was	more	than	offset	by	$33.5	million	lower	CEWS	in	2021.	

The	Corporation's	financial	position	and	liquidity	are	strong.	The	Corporation	generated	Free	Cash	Flow	of	$45.4	million	for	the	
year	ended	December	31,	2021	and	converted	56%	of	Adjusted	EBITDA	to	Free	Cash	Flow.	Debt	was	lower	as	at	December	31,	
2021	by	$20	million	as	compared	to	December	31,	2020.	Debt	levels	will	increase	with	the	Dana	and	Tricom	acquisitions	and	the	
dividend	 payments	 in	 January	 2022	 and	 are	 expected	 to	 approximate	 1.5x	 adjusted	 EBITDA	 based	 on	 the	 current	 book	 of	
business.	Our	strong	free	cash	flow	generation	provides	the	ability	to	reduce	debt,	subject	to	future	growth	initiatives.

Capital	Spending

For	the	year	ended	December	31,	2021,	gross	capital	spending	for	property,	plant	and	equipment	was	$5.9	million	compared	to	
$3.5	million	in	the	same	period	of	2020.	Capital	spending	in	2021	was	mainly	focused	on	the	NRB	Cambridge	plant	expansion,	
totaling	$3.9	million,	compared	to	the	purchase	of	small	equipment	in	2020.

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.	

There	were	no	changes	in	Dexterra	Group’s	DC&P	that	occurred	during	the	year	ended	December	31,	2021	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	year	ended	December	31,	2021	that	have	materially	affected,	or	
are	reasonably	likely	to	materially	affect,	the	Corporation’s	ICFR.

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	
Corporation's	Consolidated	Financial	Statements	for	the	year	ended	December	31,	2021	under	Note	21,	dated	March	9,	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	2021	Financial	Statements.

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:	 COVID-19,	 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	2021	Financial	Statements.	
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,	 including	 COVID-19	 related	 impacts	 and	 the	 impacts	 of	 the	 Dana	 and	 Tricom	 acquisitions;	 its	 leverage,	 NRB	
Modular	Solutions	backlog,	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	achievements	to	be	materially	different	from	any	
future	 results,	 performance	 or	 achievements	 expressed	 or	 implied	 by	 such	 forward-	 looking	 information,	 including,	 but	 not	
limited	to:	the	ability	to	retain	clients,	renew	existing	contracts	and	obtain	new	business;	an	outbreak	of	contagious	disease	that	
could	 disrupt	 its	 business;	 the	 highly	 competitive	 nature	 of	 the	 industries	 in	 which	 Dexterra	 Group	 operates;	 reliance	 on	
suppliers	and	subcontractors;	cost	inflation;	volatility	of	industry	conditions	could	impact	demand	for	its	services;	a	reduction	in	
the	 availability	 of	 credit	 could	 reduce	 demand	 for	 Dexterra	 Group’s	 products	 and	 services;	 Dexterra	 Group’s	 significant	
shareholder	may	substantially	influence	its	direction	and	operations	and	its	interests	may	not	align	with	other	shareholders;	its	
significant	 shareholder’s	 49%	 ownership	 interest	 may	 impact	 the	 liquidity	 of	 the	 common	 shares;	 cash	 flow	 may	 not	 be	
sufficient	 to	 fund	 its	 ongoing	 activities	 at	 all	 times;	 loss	 of	 key	 personnel;	 the	 failure	 to	 receive	 or	 renew	 permits	 or	 security	
clearances;	significant	legal	proceedings	or	regulatory	proceedings/changes;	environmental	damage	and	liability	is	an	operating	
risk	in	the	industries	in	which	Dexterra	Group	operates;	climate	changes	could	increase	Dexterra	Group’s	operating	costs	and	
reduce	demand	for	its	services;	liabilities	for	failure	to	comply	with	public	procurement	laws	and	regulations;	any	deterioration	
in	safety	performance	could	result	in	a	decline	in	the	demand	for	its	products	and	services;	failure	to	realize	anticipated	benefits	
of	acquisitions	and	dispositions;	inability	to	develop	and	maintain	relationships	with	Indigenous	communities;	the	seasonality	of	
Dexterra	 Group’s	 business;	 inability	 to	 restore	 or	 replace	 critical	 capacity	 in	 a	 timely	 manner;	 reputational,	 competitive	 and	
financial	risk	related	to	cyber-attacks	and	breaches;	failure	to	effectively	identify	and	manage	disruptive	technology;	economic	
downturns	can	reduce	demand	for	Dexterra	Group’s	services;	its	insurance	program	may	not	fully	cover	losses.	Additional	risks	
and	 uncertainties	 are	 described	 in	 Note	 21	 of	 the	 Corporation's	 Consolidated	 Financial	 Statements	 for	 the	 years	 ended	
December	31,	2021	and	2020	contained	in	its	most	recent	Annual	Report	filed	with	securities	regulatory	authorities	in	Canada

TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dexterra Group Annual Report 2021   |   19          

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Dexterra Group Inc. (“Dexterra 
Group” or the “Corporation”) have been approved by the Board of Directors (the 
“Board”) of Dexterra Group and have been prepared by management in accordance 
with International Financial Reporting Standards. Financial statements will, by 
necessity, include certain amounts based on estimates and judgments.  The financial 
information contained throughout this report has been reviewed to ensure consistency 
with these consolidated financial statements.

Management has overall responsibility for internal controls and maintains accounting 
systems designed to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are properly 
authorized, assets safeguarded and that the financial records form a reliable base 
for the preparation of accurate and timely financial information.  The Chief Executive 
Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of disclosure 
controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting and have 
concluded that they are effective.  

The Board oversees the management of the business and affairs of Dexterra Group; 
including ensuring management fulfills its responsibilities for financial reporting and is 
ultimately responsible for reviewing and approving the financial statements. The Board 
carries out this responsibility principally through its Audit Committee, which consists of 
four independent directors. An independent firm of chartered accountants, appointed 
as external auditor by the shareholders, has audited the consolidated financial 
statements and its report is included herein. The Audit Committee has reviewed the 
consolidated financial statements with management and the external auditor.

TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dexterra Group Annual Report 2021   |   21          

Independent auditor’s report 

To the Shareholders of Dexterra Group Inc. 

Our opinion 

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, 
the financial position of Dexterra Group Inc. and its subsidiaries (together, the Corporation) as at 
December 31, 2021 and 2020, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in 
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). 

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

●

●

●

●

●

the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2021 and 2020; 

the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the years then ended; 

the consolidated statements of changes in equity for the years then ended; 

the consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended; and 

the notes to the consolidated financial statements, which include significant accounting policies and 
other explanatory information. 

Basis for opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our 
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of 
the consolidated financial statements section of our report. 

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

Independence 
We are independent of the Corporation in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to 
our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada. We have fulfilled our other ethical 
responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. 

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, 2021. 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 

Impairment assessment of goodwill 

Our approach to addressing the matter involved the 

Refer to note 2 − Statement of compliance, 

note 3 − Significant accounting policies and 

determination of fair values and note 8 − Intangible 

assets and goodwill to the consolidated financial 

statements. 

The Corporation had goodwill of $98.6 million as at 

December 31, 2021 which 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 

fair value less cost of disposal method using 

discounted cash flow models. Significant 

assumptions used in the discounted cash flow 

models included forecasted cash flows, revenue 

growth rates and discount rates. Management 

concluded that there was no impairment of goodwill 

as at December 31, 2021. 

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. 

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 revenue 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 CGU’s 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 fair value less costs of 

disposal method and testing the 

reasonableness of the discount rates.  

-  Tested the underlying data used in the 

discounted cash flow models.  

●  Tested the disclosures made in the 

consolidated financial statements, particularly 

on the sensitivity of the significant assumptions 

used.

Other information 

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information, 
other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon, included in the annual 
report. 

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

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other 
information 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. 

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. 

Dexterra Group Annual Report 2021   |   24          

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. 

  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.

Dexterra Group Annual Report 2021   |   25          

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,	2021	and	2020

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.	Dexterra	Group	is	a	diversified	support	
services	organization	delivering	quality	solutions	for	the	creation,	management,	and	operation	of	infrastructure	across	Canada.	
Our	 Integrated	 Facilities	 Management	 (“IFM”)	 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	 rapid	 affordable	 housing,	 commercial,	 residential	 and	
industrial	clients.	

On	 May	 29,	 2020,	 Dexterra	 Group	 (previously	 Horizon	 North	 Logistics	 Inc.	 (“Horizon	 North”))	 completed	 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.,	 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	maintained	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,	 the	 operations	 for	 Horizon	 North	 are	 included	 in	 the	 results	 from	 May	 29,	 2020	
onwards	and	its	assets	and	liabilities	are	valued	at	their	fair	value	on	the	date	of	acquisition	in	accordance	with	IFRS	3	and	a	
bargain	purchase	gain	of	$29.9	million	was	recorded	on	Acquisition	(Note	24).		

On	 July	 16,	 2020,	 the	 Corporation	 completed	 a	 five-for-one	 share	 consolidation	 of	 all	 of	 its	 issued	 and	 outstanding	 common	
shares	 (the	 “Consolidation”).	 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.

Notes	to	the	consolidated	financial	statements
Years	ended	December	31,	2021	and	2020

c.						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.

d.						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	 following	 are	 the	 list	 of	 judgments,	 estimates	 and	 assumptions	 in	 the	
consolidated	financial	statements:

Estimates	&	Judgments

•

•

•

•

•

•

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’s	calculation	of	recoverable	amount	is	based	on	a	discounted	cash	
flow	 model.	 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,	revenue	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	 recognizes	 revenue	 over	 a	 period	 of	 time	 as	 work	 is	 completed	 for	 its	
construction	contracts	and	estimates	progress	of	these	contracts	by	comparing	costs	incurred	to	the	total	expected	costs	
of	 the	 project.	 To	 determine	 the	 estimated	 costs	 to	 complete	 construction	 contracts,	 assumptions	 and	 estimates	 are	
required	to	evaluate	matters	related	to	schedule,	material	and	labour	costs,	labour	productivity,	changes	in	contract	scope	
and	subcontractor	costs.	Due	to	the	nature	of	construction	activities,	estimates	can	change	significantly	over	the	life	of	the	
contracts.

Construction	Receivable	Estimate	-	The	price	of	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	and	judgment	must	be	made	
and	 used	 in	 connection	 with	 establishing	 the	 provision	 in	 any	 accounting	 period	 which	 may	 result	 in	 differences	 from	
actual	results.

Asset	 Retirement	 Obligation	 (“ARO”)	 -	 The	 Corporation	 recognizes	 an	 asset	 retirement	 obligation	 to	 account	 for	 future	
demobilization	and	reclamation	of	owned	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).

•

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	
through	 ownership,	 voting	 rights,	 or	 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	 is	 exposed	 to	 variable	 returns	 from	 its	
involvement	with	the	entity	such	that	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.

(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	 not	 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	

Dexterra Group Annual Report 2021   |   34          

Notes	to	the	consolidated	financial	statements
Years	ended	December	31,	2021	and	2020

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	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.

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	the	appropriate	class	of	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.

Years	ended	December	31,	2021	and	2020

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	

Mats	

Camp	facilities	(residual	value	of	20%)

Depreciation	 methods,	 useful	 lives,	 and	 residual	 values	 are	 reviewed	 at	 each	 financial	 year	 end	 and	 adjusted	 if	
required.	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	through	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	
required.

(f)			Inventories

Inventories	 are	 measured	 at	 the	 lower	 of	 cost	 and	 net	 realizable	 value.	 The	 cost	 of	 inventories	 is	 based	 on	 a	 weighted	
average	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	(“VIU”)	and	its	fair	value	less	costs	of	disposal	
(“FVLCOD”).	 In	 assessing	 the	 recoverable	 amount,	 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,	 Integrated	 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	 directors,	 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	directors,		
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,	 2021	 the	 Corporation	 has	 revalued	 its	 provision	 for	 Asset	 Retirement	
Obligations	and	a	contingent	consideration	related	to	the	2019	acquisition	of	Powerful	Group	of	Companies	(“PGC”).

(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.

Integrated	Facilities	Management	

Integrated	 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	

Dexterra Group Annual Report 2021   |   38          

Notes	to	the	consolidated	financial	statements
Years	ended	December	31,	2021	and	2020

distinct	performance	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.

Dexterra Group Annual Report 2021   |   39          

Notes	to	the	consolidated	financial	statements
Years	ended	December	31,	2021	and	2020

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	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.

Notes	to	the	consolidated	financial	statements
Years	ended	December	31,	2021	and	2020

(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	and	directors.

(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	

In	April	2021	the	IFRS	Interpretations	Committee	(“IFRIC”)	published	an	agenda	decision	clarifying	the	accounting	treatment	
of	configuration	and	customization	costs	incurred	in	implementing	a	cloud	computing	arrangement.	In	the	agenda	decision,	
certain	 configuration	 and	 customization	 activities	 undertaken	 in	 implementing	 such	 arrangements	 may	 give	 rise	 to	 a	
separate	 asset	 where	 the	 Corporation	 controls	 the	 intellectual	 property	 of	 the	 underlying	 software	 code	 (e.g.	 the	
development	 of	 bridging	 modules	 to	 existing	 on-premise	 systems	 or	 bespoke	 additional	 software	 capability).	 In	 all	 other	
instances,	 configuration	 and	 customization	 costs	 are	 to	 be	 expensed	 as	 incurred	 as	 an	 operating	 expense.	 Unlike	 new	
accounting	standards	with	a	specific	future	application	date	with	some	lead	time,	IFRIC	agenda	decisions	have	no	effective	
date.	 Management	 has	 completed	 its	 process	 of	 analyzing	 and	 determining	 the	 appropriate	 accounting	 treatment	 of	
previously	capitalized	customization	and	configuration	costs	in	light	of	this	new	agenda	decision	and	concluded	that	there	is	
no	material	impact	on	the	financial	statements.

Notes	to	the	consolidated	financial	statements
Years	ended	December	31,	2021	and	2020

(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,	2021,	
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	a	contract.	The	amendments	are	effective	for	annual	periods	beginning	on	or	after	January	1,	
2022	and	apply	to	contracts	for	which	the	entity	has	not	yet	fulfilled	its	obligations	at	the	time	of	adoption.	Comparatives	
are	not	restated	and	the	effect	of	applying	the	amendments	is	recognized	as	an	adjustment	to	opening	equity	on	the	date	of	
application.	These	amendments	are	not	expected	to	have	a	significant	impact	on	the	Corporation’s	consolidated	financial	
statements.

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,	 2021,	 an	 impairment	 test	 was	 performed	 for	 all	 CGUs	 with	 allocated	 goodwill,	 which	
comprise	Integrated	Facilities	Management	and	Workforce	Accommodations	and	Forestry.	No	impairment	was	identified.	

The	recoverable	amount	of	the	CGUs	was	calculated	based	on	FVLCOD	discounted	cash	flow	model.	The	cash	flows	are	derived	
from	the	Corporation’s	budget,	strategy	and	business	plan	approved	by	the	Board	of	Directors.	The	calculation	of	the	FVLCOD	
discounted	cash	flow	model	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	12.5%	(2020	-	12.7%).	

The	revenue	growth	rates	for	the	first	five	years	are	based	on	management's	internal	budgets	and	projections.	The	
projections	 for	 Integrated	 Facilities	 Management	 take	 into	 account	 the	 impacts	 and	 subsequent	 recovery	 from	 the	
pandemic	 on	 the	 aviation	 and	 retail	 sectors,	 which	 are	 forecasted	 to	 have	 a	 positive	 impact	 on	 the	 2022	 and	 2023	
forecasted	cash	flows.	Annual	revenue	growth	rates	for	the	2022	-	2026	years	between	5%	to	21%	and	3%	to	5%	were	
used	for	the	Integrated	Facilities	Management	and	Workforce	Accommodation	and	Forestry	CGUs,	respectively.	The	
long-term	growth	rate	after	5	years	for	both	CGUs	used	in	determining	the	recoverable	amount	is	2.5%	(2020	-	2.5%).	

Sensitivities	

The	most	sensitive	inputs	to	the	discounted	cash	flow	model	are	the	discount	rate	and	the	revenue	growth	rate	in	the	first	5	
years.	All	else	being	equal,	a	5%	absolute	decrease	in	the	revenue	growth	rates	or	a	1%	absolute	increase	in	the	discount	rate	
would	 result	 in	 no	 impairment	 for	 Integrated	 Facilities	 Management.	 All	 else	 being	 equal,	 a	 2.5%	 absolute	 decrease	 in	 the	
revenue	 growth	 rates	 or	 a	 1%	 absolute	 increase	 in	 the	 discount	 rate	 would	 result	 in	 no	 impairment	 for	 Workforce	
Accommodations	and	Forestry.

On	September	2,	2021,	the	Corporation	signed	a	limited	partnership	agreement	with	an	existing	Indigenous	partner	to	form	Big	
Spring	Lodging	Limited	Partnership	(“BSL	LP”).	The	Corporation	owns	49%	of	the	newly	formed	partnership.	During	the	period,	
the	Corporation	contributed	assets	to	the	BSL	LP	with	a	carrying	value	of	$1.8	million	as	an	in-kind	contribution	to	BSL	LP.	The

Effective	September	7,	2021,	the	Corporation	reached	an	agreement	with	its	lenders	to	amend	its	credit	facility	and	extend	the	
maturity	 date	 to	 September	 7,	 2024.	 The	 amended	 credit	 facility	 has	 an	 available	 limit	 of	 $200	 million	 plus	 an	 uncommitted	
accordion	 of	 $125	 million	 and	 is	 secured	 by	 a	 $400	 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.	Amounts	drawn	on	the	credit	facility	incur	interest	at	bank	prime	rate	plus	
0.50%	to	1.75%	or	the	Bankers’	Acceptance	rate	plus	1.50%	to	2.75%.	The	committed	credit	facility	has	a	standby	fee	ranging	
from	0.30%	to	0.55%	per	annum.

As	at	December	31,	2021,	the	Corporation	was	in	compliance	with	all	financial	and	non-financial	covenants	related	to	the	credit	
facility	 and	 available	 borrowing	 capacity	 was	$124.5	 million	 (2020	 -	 $81.6	 million),	 after	 adjusting	 for	$9.1	 million	 (2020	 -	 $7	
million)	in	letters	of	credit	outstanding	at	December	31,	2021.

As	at	December	31,	2021,	$0.9	million	(2020	-	nil)	was	included	in	accounts	payable	and	accrued	liabilities	for	outstanding	RSUs	
and	 PSUs.	 For	 the	 year	 ended	 December	 31,	 2021,	 share	 based	 compensation	 for	 RSUs	 and	 PSUs	 included	 in	 net	 earnings	
amounted	to	$0.2	million	(2020	-	nil)	and	$0.7	million	(2020	-	nil)	respectively.	Subsequent	to	year-end,	the	Corporation		issued	
21,307	RSUs	and	252,349	PSUs	to	its	officers,	key	employees	and	directors.	PSU	payouts	are	variable	and	are	expected	to	be

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	$18.0	million	(2020	-	$19.7	million)	in	accrued	trade	receivables	for	Modular	
Solutions	and	$22.7	million	in	Modular	holdback	and	deferred	trade	receivables	(2020	-	$11.2	million)	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	$3.3	million	recognized	in	contract	liabilities	at	the	beginning	of	the	year	has	been	recognized	as	revenue	for	the	
year	ended	December	31,	2021.

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,	2021.

The	 deferred	 income	 taxes	 liability	 of	 $0.5	 million	 (2020	 -	 $2.6	 million	 asset)	 comprises	 a	 deferred	 tax	 asset	 of	 $18.8	 million	
(2020	 -	 $20.0	 million)	 resulting	 primarily	 from	 non-capital	 losses	 in	 certain	 legal	 entities	 and	 a	 deferred	 tax	 liability	 of	 $19.3	
million	(2020	-	$17.4	million)	resulting	primarily	from	taxable	timing	differences	related	to	property,	plant	and	equipment	and	
provisions.	The	Corporation	has	non-capital	losses	for	Canadian	tax	purposes	of	$79.9	million	(2020	-	$75.7	million)	available	to	
reduce	future	taxable	income	in	Canada.

The	Corporation	paid	$10.7	million	(2020	-	$3.3	million)	in	income	taxes	for	the	year	ended	December	31,	2021.	$3.3	million	of	
this	 amount	 related	 to	 amounts	 owing	 for	 the	 year	 ended	 December	 31,	 2020	 and	 $7.4	 million	 was	 paid	 for	 2021	 tax	
installments	of	which	$2.2	million	will	be	refunded	based	on	the	tax	reorganization	completed	late	in	the	year.

21.	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	 trade	 and	 other	 receivables,	 trade	 and	 other	 payables,	 and	
loans	and	borrowings.	These	risk	factors	include	credit	risk,	liquidity	risk,	and	market	risk,	including	interest	rate	risk.

The	Corporation’s	risk	management	practices	include	identifying,	analyzing	and	monitoring	the	risks	faced	by	the	Corporation.	
The	 annual	 consolidated	 financial	 statements	 for	 the	 year	 ended	 December	 31,	 2021	 present	 information	 about	 the	
Corporation’s	exposure	to	each	of	the	business	and	financial	risks	and	the	Corporation’s	objectives,	policies	and	processes	for	
measuring	and	managing	risk.	

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	complete	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	 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.

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	nominal	exposure	to	foreign	currency	exchange	risk	arises	from	the	purchase	
of	 some	 raw	 materials,	 which	 are	 denominated	 in	 USD,	 and	 foreign	 operations	 or	 customer	 contracts	 with	 USD	
functional	currency.	

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	0.50%	to	1.75%	or	the	Bankers’	Acceptance	rate	plus	1.50%	to	2.75%	per	annum.	If	prime	were	to	have	
increased	by	1.00%,	it	is	estimated	that	the	Corporation’s	net	earnings	would	have	decreased	by	approximately	$0.9	
million	for	the	year	ended	December	31,	2021	(2020	-	$0.7	million).	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.

(1) HNMM	and	HNMS	entities		were	amalgamated	with	NRB	Inc.	as	at	January	1,	2021.
(2) 106	was	continued	into	2395495	Alberta	Ltd.	on	December	17,	2021	prior	to	being	amalgamated	with	Dexterra	Group	Inc.	on	January	1,	2022.

(a)	Special	purpose	entities

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”)	with	the	remaining	voting	rights	and	board	of	director	seats	being	held	by	Indigenous	partners.	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.	
Indigenous	participation	in	the	governance	of	these	SPEs	is	required	to	secure	projects	in	specific	regions	of	Canada.	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.

24.	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,	 as	 described	 in	 Note	 1.	 Management	 performed	 an	 analysis	
under	IFRS	3	and	determined	that	Dexterra	was	the	accounting	acquirer	of	Horizon	North.	As	such,	the	Acquisition	constituted	a	
Reverse	 Take	 Over	 for	 accounting	 purposes.	 Horizon	 North	 being	 the	 acquired	 enterprise	 for	 accounting	 purposes,	 had	 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	was	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,	at	acquisition	date,	
based	on	management’s	best	estimate	of	the	fair	value,	which	takes	into	consideration	the	condition	of	the	assets	acquired,	
industry	 conditions	 and	 the	 discounted	 future	 cash	 flows	 expected	 to	 be	 received	 from	 the	 assets	 as	 well	 as	 the	 amount	
expected	to	settle	the	outstanding	liabilities.

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.	 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.	

In	the	prior	year,	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.

25.	Subsequent	events

On	 January	 1,	 2022,	 Dexterra	 Group	 acquired	 100%	 of	 privately	 owned	 Canadian	 food	 services	 company	 Dana	 Hospitality	 LP	
(“Dana	Hospitality”)	from	Fulcrum	Capital	Partners	(“Fulcrum”)	for	$31.5	million.	The	purchase	price	was	financed	through	the	
Corporation’s	existing	credit	facility	and	is	expected	to	be	mainly	allocated	to	goodwill	and	intangible	assets.	This	acquisition	
expands	 the	 Corporation’s	 existing	 culinary	 services	 into	 education,	 entertainment,	 healthcare,	 and	 leisure	 activities.	 Dana	
Hospitality	will	be	reported	as	part	of	the	IFM	segment.

On	January	31,	2022,	Dexterra	Group	acquired	the	assets	of	the	privately	owned	TRICOM	Facility	Services	group	of	companies

performance-based	incentives	to	a	maximum	of	$5	million	which	are	based	upon	the	actual	results	over	the	next	two	years.	The	
purchase	 price	 is	 expected	 to	 be	 mainly	 allocated	 to	 goodwill	 and	 intangible	 assets.	 Tricom	 delivers	 contract	 janitorial	 and	
associated	building	maintenance	services	and	supplies	custodial	equipment	and	consumables	to	clients	in	major	centres	across
