Finning International Inc. 
2022 Annual Results 

Annual Highlights 

  2022 revenue was $9.3 billion. Net revenue of $8.2 billion was up 23% from 2021, reflecting higher volumes in 
most lines of business, driven primarily by product support revenue and new equipment sales in all regions.  

  2022 EBIT was $768 million and EBIT as a percentage of net revenue was 9.3%. Excluding significant items not 
considered indicative of operational and financial trends, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of 
net revenue were $537 million and 8.0%, respectively, in 2021. Higher EBIT in 2022 was driven by healthy 
market conditions, the successful execution of our product support growth strategy and productivity 
improvements. EBIT as a percentage of net revenue improved in all regions with lower SG&A relative to net 
revenue compared to 2021.  

  EPS was $3.25 in 2022 compared to $2.26 in 2021. Excluding significant items not considered indicative of 

operational and financial trends, Adjusted EPS was $2.18 in 2021. 2022 EPS increased significantly from 2021 
as a result of strong earnings across all operations and disciplined operational execution.  

  Adjusted ROIC at December 31, 2022 was 18.7%, an improvement of 230 basis points from December 31, 2021, 

driven by improved profitability in all of our operations.  

  2022 free cash flow was a use of cash of $170 million compared to a generation of $300 million of cash in 2021, 

reflecting increased working capital requirements to support the delivery of our significant equipment backlog and 
strong product support growth. 

  Consolidated equipment backlog (1) was a record $2.5 billion at December 31, 2022. Compared to December 31, 

2021, backlog was up 35%, driven by higher order intake in mining and power systems.

Strategic Framework  

Our strategic plan is based on our Purpose, Vision, and Values, which have been articulated with the input of our 
employees and comprise our strategic framework:  

  Purpose: We believe in partnering and innovating to build and power a better world. 

  Vision: Leveraging our global expertise and insight, we are a trusted partner in transforming our customers’ 

Finning International Inc. 
2022 Annual Results 

performance. 

  Values: We are trusted, collaborative, and passionate. 

Simple Execution Plan 

At our 2021 Investor Day, we introduced our Simple Execution Plan designed to improve our return on invested 
capital performance and ultimately increase our earnings capacity. 

  First, we are accelerating product support growth. Our strategy is well aligned with Caterpillar in driving 

product support growth through strengthening our value proposition to meet the rapidly evolving needs of 
our customers. We are leveraging our unified digital platform, CUBIQTM, to help our customers improve their 
productivity, costs, safety, and environmental performance. 

  Second, we are reducing our cost base by becoming more efficient and agile in serving our customers and 

driving supply chain improvement across our global organization. 

  And third, we are reinvesting our free cash flow to compound our earnings. Our strong balance sheet 

provides optionality to drive earnings potentially through organic growth, acquisitions, and return of capital to 
shareholders. 

Sustainability 

At Finning, we are committed to sustainability. We focus on a business model that creates value for all our 
stakeholders, including employees, communities, customers and shareholders. We work to create positive impacts 
in the communities where we operate, reduce our environmental footprint, help our customers reduce their 
emissions and environmental footprint, and continually evolve to address the needs of our stakeholders.  
In 2022, we continued making progress in our sustainability journey. We focused on the sustainability topics that are 
most relevant to our business, including people, environment, customers, communities, ethics, governance and 
cybersecurity. Our performance and progress in our journey are highlighted in our annual Sustainability Report and 
through the implementation of our sustainability roadmap, which is overseen by our global sustainability committee 
comprised of representatives from Human Resources, Communications, Investor Relations, Legal, Business, Supply 
Chain, Enterprise Risk Management, and Health, Safety and Environment. In 2022, we continued to make good 
progress towards achieving our GHG emissions reduction target set in 2021 to reduce our absolute GHG emissions 
by 40% by 2027 (from a 2017 baseline). Additionally, we continue to provide customers with equipment and 
solutions to improve safety and enhance performance by combining leading technology with data-driven insights, all 
while reducing their environmental footprint. This includes low emissions equipment, renewable power solutions, low 
emissions fuels, extension of equipment life through remanufacturing, and our CUBIQTM Sustainability Dashboard, 
which enables monitoring, benchmarking and tracking of fuel consumption and emissions. In 2022, we continued 
our efforts to support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by continuing to align our Sustainability 
Report with these commitments. We are also evolving the disclosure of our climate-related risks and opportunities. 
We have aligned our Sustainability Report information with the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures 
and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board. We continue to disclose to the Carbon Disclosure Project 
annually. Our Sustainability Report meets the Global Reporting Initiative core standard.  

Our 2022 Sustainability Report will be published in March 2023. The previous Sustainability Reports and related 
disclosures are available on our website at www.finning.com.

Adjusted Measures 

Reported financial measures may be impacted by significant items we do not consider indicative of operational and 
financial trends either by nature or amount; these are referred to as “Adjusted measures”. Adjusted measures are 
considered non-GAAP financial measures, do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS, and therefore may not 
be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. For additional information regarding these financial 
measures, including definitions and reconciliations from each of these Adjusted measures to their most directly 
comparable measure under GAAP, where available, see the heading “Description of Specified Financial Measures 
and Reconciliations” on pages 37 - 46 of this MD&A. 

There were no significant items identified by management that affected our 2022 results. 

2021 significant items: 

  Finning qualified for and recorded a benefit in Q1 2021 related to CEWS, which was introduced by the 

 

Government of Canada in response to the COVID-19 pandemic for eligible entities that met specific criteria. 
In December 2020, the shareholders of Energyst, which included Finning, decided to restructure the company. A 
plan was put in place to sell any remaining assets and wind-up Energyst, with net proceeds from the sale to be 
distributed to Energyst’s shareholders. In Q1 2021, we recorded a return on our investment in Energyst. 

The following table shows the magnitude of these significant items and provides reconciliations of the Adjusted 
measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures:

Revenue was $9.3 billion in 2022 compared to $7.3 billion during 2021. Net revenue of $8.2 billion increased 23% 
from the prior year, largely driven by strong market activity in the mining and construction sectors in all of our 
regions.  

Product support revenue in 2022 was 24% higher than 2021, up in all operations with higher demand in all market 
sectors, primarily in the mining sector in Canada and South America and the construction sector in all of our regions.  

New equipment revenue in 2022 was 28% higher than the prior year, up in all regions, driven by higher demand in 
the mining sector in Canada and South America and the construction sector in UK & Ireland. Equipment backlog at 
December 31, 2022 was $2.5 billion, up from $1.9 billion at December 31, 2021 due to extremely strong order intake 
in 2022, which outpaced strong equipment deliveries in all of our operations.  

EBIT  

Gross profit in 2022 of $2.2 billion was 
23% higher than the prior year, in line 
with net revenue growth. Overall gross 
profit as a percentage of net revenue of 
27.1% was up slightly from 2021.  

SG&A in 2022 of $1.5 billion was 15% 
higher than the prior year primarily due 
to higher people-related costs, asset and 
facility costs, and variable costs to 
support revenue growth. This increase was partially offset by the favourable foreign currency translation impact on 
SG&A of our South American operations from the devaluation of the CLP and ARS relative to the USD in 2022 
compared to 2021. Although SG&A costs were higher in the current year, SG&A as a percentage of net revenue of 
17.7% improved 120 basis points from the prior year as all of our operations realized productivity improvements.

Finning International Inc. 
2022 Annual Results 

EBIT was $768 million and EBIT as a percentage of 
net revenue was 9.3% in 2022, compared to $552 
million and 8.2%, respectively, in 2021. Excluding 
significant items not indicative of financial and 
operational trends described on page 5, Adjusted EBIT 
in 2021 was $537 million and 8.0%, respectively. All of 
our operations contributed significantly higher earnings 
and Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of net revenue in 
2022.  

Finance Costs  

Finance costs for 2022 of $95 million were higher than 
$75 million in 2021 due to higher interest rates on 
higher average short-term debt levels in the current 
year.

The effective income tax rate for 2022 of 25.6% was up from 23.9% for 2021. The effective income tax rate was 
lower in 2021 due to a higher proportion of earnings from lower tax jurisdictions compared to the current year. 

We expect our effective tax rate generally to be within the 25-30% range on an annual basis. The rate may fluctuate 
from period to period as a result of changes in the relative income from the various jurisdictions in which we carry on 
business, sources of income, changes in the estimation of tax reserves, outcomes of tax audits, or tax rates and tax 
legislation. 

Net Income Attributable to Shareholders of Finning and EPS 

Net income attributable to shareholders of Finning was $503 million and EPS was $3.25 in 2022, compared to $364 
million and $2.26, respectively, in 2021. Excluding the significant items not indicative of financial and operational 
trends described on page 5, Adjusted EPS was $2.18 in 2021. EPS of $3.25 in 2022 was 49% higher than Adjusted 
EPS in 2021 due to large deliveries from our backlog, strong product support growth rates, healthy market 
conditions, and improved profitability due to productivity improvements in all regions.

The $844 million increase in consolidated invested capital from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022 includes 
a foreign exchange impact of $61 million in translating the invested capital balances of our UK & Ireland and South 
American operations. The foreign exchange impact was the result of the 7% weaker CAD relative to the USD 
partially offset by the 5% stronger CAD relative to the GBP at December 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021. 

Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, consolidated invested capital increased by $783 million from December 
31, 2021 to December 31, 2022 reflecting:  

  higher new equipment and 

parts inventory in all 
operations, especially in 
Canada and South America to 
support customer demand 
and product support growth; 

  an increase in accounts 
receivable and unbilled 
receivables in all operations, 
primarily in Canada, driven by 
an increase in demand and 
sales activity;  

  an increase in net assets from 
the acquisition of Hydraquip 
in the UK & Ireland;  

  partially offset by higher 
accounts payable in all 
operations related to higher 
inventory purchases.

On a consolidated basis, ROIC at December 31, 2022 improved 230 basis points from Adjusted ROIC at December 
31, 2021. Higher EBIT for the last twelve-month period, reflecting higher volumes and improved profitability in all of 
our operations, outpaced the increase in average invested capital levels. Consolidated ROIC of 18.7% was the 
highest since Q2 2011. South America reached an all-time high ROIC of 24.5%.  

Invested Capital Turnover 

Consolidated invested capital turnover at December 31, 2022 of 2.01 was down slightly from December 31, 2021, 
lower in Canada and UK & Ireland, as the increase in average invested capital levels outpaced the increase in net 
revenue over the last twelve-month period. Invested capital turnover in South America was comparable to the prior 
year.

2022 net revenue of $4.1 billion was 23% higher than 2021, 
up in most lines of business due to strong market 
conditions in Western Canada.  

Product support revenue in 2022 was up 26% from 2021 
driven by strong demand in all sectors and successful 
execution of our product support growth strategy, including 
the positive impact of supplier cost passthrough.  

2022 new equipment revenue was 29% higher than 2021, 
up in all market sectors but primarily in mining, driven by 
strong sales and conversion of rental equipment with 
purchase options, as well as mining customers renewing 
their aging fleets. Equipment backlog at December 31, 
2022 was higher than December 31, 2021 as strong order 
intake outpaced deliveries, primarily in the construction and 
mining sectors.

2022 used equipment revenue decreased 16% from 2021 
due to the supply of used equipment remaining tight in Western Canada.  

Gross profit in 2022 increased from 2021, in line with increased volumes. Overall gross profit as a percentage of net 
revenue in 2022 was down slightly from 2021, reflecting lower product support and new equipment gross profit as a 
percentage of net revenue partially offset by a higher proportion of product support revenue in the revenue mix. 

2022 SG&A was up 15% compared to the prior year on 23% net revenue growth. 2022 SG&A increased mainly due 
to higher people and variable costs to support volume growth. SG&A as a percentage of net revenue improved over 
the prior year, benefiting from an improvement in labour and facility productivity.  

Our Canadian operations contributed EBIT of $435 million in 2022, up 37% from Adjusted EBIT of $317 million in 
the prior year on 23% higher net revenues. EBIT as a percentage of net revenue in 2022 was 10.5%, an 
improvement of 110 basis points from Adjusted EBIT as a percentage of net revenue in 2021. This increase in 
profitability reflected strong execution and operating leverage on strong revenue growth.

The weaker CAD relative to the USD on average in 2022 compared to 2021 had a favourable foreign currency 
translation impact on 2022 net revenue of approximately $110 million and on EBIT of approximately $10 million.  

All $ figures in this section are in CAD as this is our reporting currency. All variances and ratios in this section are 
based on the functional currency of our South American operations, which is the USD. These variances and ratios 
exclude the foreign currency translation impact from the CAD relative to the USD and are therefore considered to be 
specified financial measures. We believe the variances and ratios in functional currency provide meaningful 
information about operational performance of the reporting segment.

2022 Annual Overview 

2022 net revenue was 19% higher than 2021, largely 
driven by stronger market activity in the mining and 
construction sectors.  

Product support revenue in 2022 increased 17% from 
2021, mainly due to solid market activity and volumes, 
primarily in Chile where there continued to be strong 
demand for component exchanges, equipment 
overhauls, and fleet maintenance.  

New equipment revenue in 2022 was 25% higher than 
the same prior year period, driven by significant mining 
deliveries in Chile as well as higher demand in the 
construction sector in Argentina. Equipment backlog at 
December 31, 2022 was up from December 31, 2021, 
primarily due to demand in the mining and construction 
sectors, and order intake outpacing deliveries.

Gross profit in 2022 increased from 2021 mainly due to 
increased volumes. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue in 2022 was higher than 2021 mainly due to higher 
gross profit as a percentage of net revenue in all lines of business, partially offset by a shift to higher new equipment 
sales in the revenue mix. 

2022 SG&A costs were up 11% from 2021 on 19% higher net revenue. 2022 SG&A increased mainly due to higher 
variable costs to support volumes, including people-related, and facility costs. This increase was partially offset by 
the favourable foreign currency translation impact on SG&A from the devaluation of the CLP and ARS relative to the 
USD in 2022 compared to 2021. 2022 SG&A as a percentage of net revenue was lower than 2021 due to the 
improved cost structure and service profitability. 

2022 EBIT of $310 million was higher than 2021 EBIT of $209 million. 2022 EBIT as a percentage of net revenue of 
11.3% improved by 190 basis points from 2021 EBIT reflecting increased profitability and operating leverage on 
strong revenue growth.  

Other Developments 

During the three months ended December 31, 2022, approximately 1,500 hourly employees in our Chilean 
operations represented by three unions voted in support of new collective agreements. The new three-year 
collective agreements will expire in Q4 2025.

information about operational performance of the reporting segment. 

2022 Annual Overview 

2022 net revenue was up 30% from 2021, up in all lines 
of business, mainly due to higher new equipment 
revenue.  

New equipment revenue was 32% higher than 2021, 
primarily in the construction sector which included 
deliveries to the HS2 project. Equipment backlog at 
December 31, 2022 was lower than December 31, 2021 
due to strong deliveries in the construction sector.  

2022 product support revenue increased 28% from the 
prior year, mainly in the construction sector, and includes 
the contribution from Hydraquip since its acquisition at 
the end of March 2022.

SG&A was up 20% in 2022 compared to 2021 on 30% net revenue growth. The increase in SG&A reflected 
additional costs from Hydraquip, as well as variable costs to support volumes including higher people-related costs. 
SG&A as a percentage of net revenue was lower in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due to the leverage of fixed 
costs on significant revenue growth.  

2022 EBIT of $74 million was higher than 2021 EBIT of $53 million. EBIT as a percentage of net revenue of 5.5% in 
2022 was 80 basis points higher than EBIT as a percentage of net revenue in the prior year reflecting operating 
leverage on strong revenue growth and structural profitability improvements, as well as the addition of Hydraquip. 

Other Developments 

During the year ended December 31, 2022, approximately 600 hourly employees in the Service and Parts groups in 
our UK & Ireland operations represented by two unions voted in support of new collective agreements. The new two-
year collective agreements were effective April 1, 2021 and will expire on March 31, 2023.

costs, including our short-term incentive plan expense, this year compared to 2021.  

Finning International Inc. 
2022 Annual Results 

Acquisition 

Hydraquip 

On March 22, 2022, our UK & Ireland operations acquired a 100% ownership interest in Hydraquip, the UK’s second 
largest hose replacement and repair company. Hydraquip earns approximately 60% of its revenue from on-site 
mobile hose services and the remaining 40% from selling hydraulic and fluid power products and parts. Hydraquip’s 
revenue is included in our product support line of business. This purchase has been accounted for as a business 
combination using the acquisition method of accounting. 

The fair value of the total consideration at the acquisition date was estimated to be $117 million (£70 million). Cash 
consideration of $84 million, net of $10 million cash acquired, was paid in the three months ended March 31, 2022. 
The fair value of deferred consideration was $19 million. The vendors may qualify for additional consideration 
(possible range of £nil to £11 million) based on the acquired business unit achieving specified levels of financial 
performance. The acquisition-date fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated to be $4 million (£2 
million). The deferred and contingent consideration was recognized as a liability on the consolidated statement of 
financial position and is payable in annual instalments over a period of three years after the acquisition. Following 
finalization of the purchase price allocation, any changes in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration 
will be recognized in the consolidated statement of income.  

The acquisition was funded with existing credit facilities and any deferred and contingent consideration will be 
funded through credit facilities or cash on hand or a combination of both. We finalized the purchase price allocation 
during the three months ended December 31, 2022. The acquisition-date fair values of net assets acquired were 
estimated to be $10 million of cash and cash equivalents, $3 million of working capital (1), $6 million of property, 
plant, and equipment, $29 million of intangible assets, $80 million of goodwill, $3 million of lease liabilities, and $8 
million of deferred tax liabilities.  

Goodwill relates to the expected synergies from combining complementary capabilities that help customers 
maximize uptime and reduce operating costs and the expected growth potential for product support revenue. 
Hydraquip expands our service capabilities across multiple industries and equipment types to both new and existing 
customers.  

(1)  Working capital comprises accounts receivable, inventory, other assets, accounts payable and accruals, and provisions.

Fourth Quarter Highlights 

  Q4 2022 revenue was $2.7 billion. Q4 2022 net revenue of $2.4 billion was 34% higher than Q4 2021 with higher 
revenue in most lines of business driven by large deliveries from our backlog, strong product support growth 
rates, and healthy market conditions in all of our regions. 

  Q4 2022 EBIT was $214 million and EBIT as a percentage of net revenue was 9.0%, higher than $157 million 
and 8.9%, respectively, in Q4 2021. All regions improved their operating leverage in Q4 2022 compared to the 
prior year comparable quarter with Q4 2022 EBIT as a percentage of net revenue of 11.4% in South America, 
11.0% in Canada, and 4.4% in the UK & Ireland.   

  Q4 2022 EPS was $0.89, up 36% from Q4 2021 EPS of $0.66. This increase was driven by strong revenue 

growth and operational execution.  

  Q4 2022 free cash flow generation of $332 million was higher than $148 million in Q4 2021, mainly due to higher 

collections from increased revenues partially offset by higher inventory purchases.

Q4 2022 revenue was $2.7 billion. Net revenue of $2.4 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022 was up 34% from Q4 
2021, with higher revenues in most lines of business driven by disciplined operational execution and strong market 
activity.  

Product support revenue was up 32% in Q4 2022 from the same prior year period, up in all market sectors and also 
up in all our operations, particularly in the mining sectors of Canada and South America. Product support revenue in 
the construction sector in Q4 2022 increased 25% over the comparable period in the prior year as a result of our 
strategic focus to capture market share in this sector.  

Q4 2022 new equipment revenue was 52% higher than the same prior year period, up in all of our operations, driven 
primarily by significant mining deliveries to customers in Canada and higher deliveries to construction customers in 
Chile and Argentina.  

EBIT   

Q4 2022 gross profit of $628 million was 
30% higher than the same period in the prior 
year, in line with net revenue growth. Overall 
gross profit as a percentage of net revenue 
was 26.5% in Q4 2022, down from 27.3% in 
Q4 2021, mainly due to a higher proportion 
of new equipment sales in the revenue mix 
and a higher number of lower margin mining 
equipment packages delivered in Q4 2022. 

SG&A in Q4 2022 of $416 million was 27% higher than Q4 2021 on 34% net revenue growth. The increase in SG&A 
was driven primarily by higher people-related costs and variable costs to support revenue growth, and higher LTIP 
expense of $19 million, primarily in our Other operations segment. SG&A as a percentage of net revenue was 
17.6%, a 90 basis point improvement over the same prior year period, demonstrating improved execution to capture 
growth opportunities and continued productivity improvements.

Finning International Inc. 
2022 Annual Results 

EBIT and EBIT as a percentage of net revenue in Q4 
2022 were $214 million and 9.0%, respectively. Q4 
2021 EBIT was $157 million and EBIT as a percentage 
of net revenue was 8.9%. EBIT was up in all our 
operations primarily from strong market activity as well 
as productivity improvements. 

Finance Costs  

Finance costs in Q4 2022 were $33 million, up from 
$19 million in Q4 2021 due to higher interest rates on 
higher average short-term debt levels in the current 
year period. 

Provision for Income Taxes 

The effective income tax rate in Q4 2022 was 25.3%, 
comparable to 25.0% in Q4 2021.

2022 EPS was $0.89, a significant improvement from EPS of $0.66 in Q4 2021, driven by higher revenues and the 
disciplined execution of our strategic plan which improved our earnings capacity, partially offset by $0.10 per share 
higher LTIP expense.

Q4 2022 net revenue of $1.2 billion was 28% higher than Q4 2021, with higher net revenue across all market 
segments driven by continued strong market conditions in Western Canada. Product support revenue in Q4 2022 
was up 30% compared to the same prior year period, reflecting strong demand in all market segments and 
successful execution of our product support growth strategy, including the positive impact of the passthrough of 
supplier costs. The 56% increase in new equipment sales was mainly due to mining deliveries to customers in the oil 
sands and higher volumes in the construction and power system sectors. Used equipment sales were down 36% 
from record levels in Q4 2021, which saw large used equipment deals in mining and construction sectors. 

Gross profit in Q4 2022 was higher than Q4 2021, mostly driven by higher volumes across most lines of business. 
Overall gross profit as a percentage of net revenue in Q4 2022 was lower than Q4 2021 mainly due to a higher 
proportion of new equipment sales in the revenue mix and a higher number of lower margin mining equipment 
packages delivered in 2022. 

Q4 2022 SG&A was 17% higher than Q4 2021 on 28% net revenue growth. Higher SG&A reflected higher costs to 
support volumes, including people-related costs. SG&A as a percentage of net revenue was down 190 basis points 
from the same prior year period driven by improved operating leverage. 

Q4 2022 EBIT was $128 million, up 39% from Q4 2021 EBIT of $92 million. This improvement was driven by net 
revenue growth as well as productivity improvements. As a result of these productivity improvements and the 
leverage of higher revenues to our fixed cost base, EBIT as a percentage of net revenue in Q4 2022 of 11.0% was 
higher than the 10.1% in Q4 2021.

South America Operations 

The weaker CAD relative to the USD on average in Q4 2022 compared to Q4 2021 had a favourable foreign 
currency translation impact on Q4 2022 net revenue of approximately $60 million and on EBIT of approximately $5 
million.  

Q4 2022 net revenue was up 34% from Q4 2021. New equipment revenue in Q4 2022 was 54% higher than the 
prior year quarter, driven by higher deliveries to copper producers and large contractors supporting mining 
operations in Chile. In addition, we were able to catch up on some backlog deliveries from Q3 2022 which were 
delayed due to supply chain constraints. Product support revenue in Q4 2022 was up 25% from Q4 2021, driven by 
strong overall demand and higher volumes from new and expanded mining product support contracts in Chile, as 
well as the benefit of the passthrough of supplier costs in all market sectors.  

Gross profit in Q4 2022 increased from Q4 2021, in line with higher net revenue. Gross profit as a percentage of net 
revenue decreased in the current period reflecting the higher proportion of new equipment sales in the revenue mix.  

Q4 2022 SG&A costs were 17% higher than Q4 2021 on 34% net revenue growth, reflecting an improved cost 
structure and service productivity, as well as the favourable impact of the devaluation of the CLP. As a result, Q4 
2022 SG&A as a percentage of net revenue was down significantly from Q4 2021.  

Q4 2022 EBIT was $96 million, up from $59 million in Q4 2021 primarily due to revenue growth and productivity 
improvements. Q4 2022 EBIT as a percentage of net revenue of 11.4% was 130 basis points higher than Q4 2021, 
benefiting from improved operating leverage.  

UK & Ireland Operations 

The stronger CAD relative to the GBP on average in Q4 2022 compared to Q4 2021 had an unfavourable foreign 
currency translation impact on Q4 2022 net revenue of approximately $25 million and was not significant at the EBIT 
level.  

Fourth quarter 2022 net revenue was 38% higher than the same period in 2021, an increase in all lines of business. 
New equipment sales were up 39%, driven by higher power systems project deliveries, higher HS2 deliveries, and 
robust demand in the construction sector. Q4 2022 product support revenue was up 38% from the same prior year 
period, reflecting solid activity in all end markets, strong execution of our product support growth strategy, including 
the positive impact of the passthrough of supplier costs, and the contribution from Hydraquip since its acquisition in 
March 2022.  

Q4 2022 gross profit was higher than the same prior year period, in line with increased volumes. Gross profit as a 
percentage of net revenue in Q4 2022 was comparable to Q4 2021.  

SG&A was up 39% in Q4 2022 compared to the prior year period, mainly due to the addition of Hydraquip, as well 
as higher variable and people-related costs to support volumes. SG&A as a percentage of net revenue in Q4 2022 
was consistent with Q4 2021.  

Q4 2022 EBIT was 40% higher than Q4 2021, driven by higher sales volumes. Q4 2022 EBIT as a percentage of net 
revenue of 4.4% was slightly higher than Q4 2021.

Market Update and Business Outlook 

The discussion of our expectations relating to the market and business outlook in this section is forward-looking 
information that is based upon the assumptions and subject to the material risks discussed under the heading 
“Forward-Looking Information Disclaimer” beginning on page 49 of this MD&A. Actual outcomes and results may 
vary significantly. 

Canada Operations 

We expect market activity across Western Canada to remain healthy, supported by the strength in the mining and 
energy sectors. 

Constructive commodity prices and improved capital budgets are expected to drive investment in renewal of aging 
fleets and product support opportunities in the oil sands and other mining. We expect to see growing demand for 
component remanufacturing, equipment rebuilds, and autonomy implementation as mining customers are looking to 
extend the life of their assets and improve productivity.  

In the construction sector, federal and provincial governments’ infrastructure programs and private sector 
investments in natural gas, carbon capture, utilization and storage, and various power projects are expected to 
continue driving demand for construction equipment and product support, rentals, and prime and standby electric 
power generation.  

In the power systems sector, higher activity levels from energy customers are driving a notable increase in quoting 
and order intake. Our power systems backlog in Canada is at its highest levels since 2014. 

South America Operations 

We continue to closely monitor the Chilean constitutional reform, including the process for approval of the proposal 
for a revised mining royalty framework. We are encouraged by the latest moderated proposal. However, we expect 
the timing of investment decisions related to greenfield and new expansion projects to remain uncertain until the 
new royalty proposal is approved. Longer term, we expect Chile will remain an attractive place to invest as 
electrification trends drive increasing global demand for copper.  

We expect a strengthening copper price to support positive mining outlook in Chile in 2023. Mining deliveries are 
expected to be driven by our recent wins with BHP and Codelco, as well as committed medium-term investment in 
fleet replacements across our mining customer base. We also expect to see continued strong demand for mining 
product support and technology solutions, including autonomy.  

Slowing economic growth and higher interest rates are expected to continue impacting construction activity in Chile 
in 2023.  

In Argentina, activity in construction, oil and gas, and mining is expected to remain stable. However, high inflation, 
currency restrictions, and new import regulations will continue to impact our business in Argentina as we manage 
through the challenging fiscal, regulatory, and currency environments. 

UK & Ireland Operations 

As equipment deliveries to HS2 have largely been completed, we expect lower construction new equipment sales in 
the UK in 2023 compared to 2022. In addition, overall demand for construction equipment in the UK is expected to 
decline in 2023 due to slowing economic growth rates. However, we expect strong demand for product support to 
continue, driven by HS2 activity and high machine utilization rates across broader construction markets. 

We expect demand for our power systems business in the UK & Ireland to remain robust, including in the data 
centre market. We have a solid backlog of power systems projects for delivery in 2023, and we are well positioned 
to capture further opportunities.

Considerations for 2023 

We are mindful of the uncertain global business environment, including slowing rates of growth, and we are 
reinforcing our mid-cycle operating cost and capital model. Overall, we expect constructive demand conditions in our 
diverse end markets to be supported by favourable commodity prices and strong demand from mining and energy 
customers.  

We are reducing our capital expenditures budget in 2023 with a higher proportion allocated to reinvestment in rental 
fleet and strategic investments in electric drive mining trucks for demonstration purposes. Our 2023 net capital 
expenditures and net rental fleet additions are expected to be in the range of $190 million to $240 million, which 
represents about 25% reduction from 2022. In 2023, we will be placing a higher priority on debt repayment and 
reduction in our net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio.  

We are seeing continued momentum at the start of 2023 and expect growth in the first half of the year compared to 
the first half of 2022, underpinned by our record equipment backlog, very busy workshops, and growth in rebuilds 
driven by the strong execution of our product support strategy.

Capital resources and management 

Our cash and cash equivalents balance at December 31, 2022 was $288 million (December 31, 2021: $502 million). 
At December 31, 2022, to complement internally generated funds from operating and investing activities, we had 
approximately $2.5 billion in unsecured committed and uncommitted credit facilities. Included in this amount is a 
committed sustainability-linked revolving credit facility totaling $1.3 billion with various Canadian and global financial 
institutions which is set to mature in September 2026. In October 2022, we obtained an additional $300 million 
committed revolving credit facility that has a one-year term and can be used for general corporate purposes. At 
December 31, 2022, $551 million was available collectively under these committed revolving credit facilities. We are 
subject to certain covenants under our committed revolving credit facilities and were in compliance with these 
covenants at December 31, 2022.  

We continuously monitor actual and forecasted cash flows, manage the maturity profiles of our financial liabilities, 
and maintain committed and uncommitted credit facilities. We believe that based on cash on hand, available credit 
facilities, and the discretionary nature of certain cash flows, such as rental and capital expenditures, we have 
sufficient liquidity to meet operational needs.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, we repurchased 6,941,039 common shares for cancellation for $219 
million, at an average cost of $31.51 per share, through our NCIB (2). In 2021, we repurchased 4,779,340 common 
shares for cancellation for $157 million, at an average cost of $32.81 per share.  

In connection with our NCIB, we implemented an automatic share purchase plan with a designated broker to enable 
share repurchases for cancellation during selected blackout periods. At December 31, 2022, we recorded an 
obligation of $21 million for the repurchase of shares from January 1, 2023 to February 7, 2023, under this 
automatic share purchase plan.  

Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA

The above table does not include obligations to fund pension benefits. We make regular contributions to our 
registered defined benefit pension plans in Canada and the UK in order to fund the pension obligations as required. 
Funding levels are monitored regularly and reset with new actuarial funding valuations at least every three years. In 
2022, we contributed $5 million towards the defined benefit pension plans. Based on the most recently completed 
valuations, we expect to contribute approximately $5 million to the defined benefit pension plans during the year 
ended December 31, 2023. 

We implemented an automatic purchase plan for our 2.626%, $200 million note due August 14, 2026 and our 
5.077%, $150 million note due June 13, 2042 for the period January 3, 2023 to February 7, 2023. As of February 2, 
2023, we repurchased $3 million in notional value of our notes under this plan. The above table does not include 
payments under this automatic purchase plan.  

Capital and Rental Expenditures 

Our net spend on capital expenditures and rental fleet additions during the year ended December 31, 2023 is 
expected to be in the range of $190 million to $240 million. These are planned but not legally committed 
expenditures and include strategic capital investments in our Canadian facility network, our digital capabilities, and 
rental fleet additions.  

Employee Share Purchase Plans 

We have employee share purchase plans for our Canadian and South American employees. Under the terms of 
these plans, eligible employees may purchase common shares of Finning in the open market at the then current 
market price. We pay a portion of the purchase price to a maximum of 2% of employee earnings. At December 31, 
2022, 72%, 76% and 3% of eligible employees in our Corporate, Canadian, and South American operations, 
respectively, were contributing to these plans. 

We also have an All Employee Share Purchase Ownership Plan for our employees in Finning UK & Ireland. Under 
the terms of this plan, we provide one common share, purchased in the open market, for every three shares 
purchased by Finning (UK) employees and for every one share purchased by Finning (Ireland) employees. Finning 
(UK) employees may contribute from £10 to £150 of their salary per month. At December 31, 2022, 34% of eligible 
employees in Finning (UK) were contributing to this plan. Finning (Ireland) employees may contribute from €10 to 
€70 of their salary per month. At December 31, 2022, 15% of eligible employees in Finning (Ireland) were 
contributing to this plan.  

We may cancel these plans at any time.

Accounting and Estimates 

We employ professionally qualified accountants throughout our finance group globally and all of our operating unit 
financial officers report directly to our CFO. Senior financial representatives are assigned to all significant projects 
that impact financial accounting and reporting. Policies are in place to ensure completeness and accuracy of 
reported transactions. Key transaction controls are in place, and there is a segregation of duties between transaction 
initiation, processing, and cash receipt or disbursement. Accounting, measurement, valuation, and reporting of 
accounts, which involve estimates and/or valuations, are reviewed quarterly by the CFO, the Senior Vice President, 
Corporate Controller, and the Audit Committee. Significant accounting and financial topics and issues are 
presented to and discussed with the Audit Committee.  

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our Annual 
Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. Our significant accounting policies are 
included in the notes to the Annual Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. Certain policies 
require management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions in respect of the application of accounting 
policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and 
liabilities. These policies may require particularly subjective and complex judgments to be made as they relate to 
matters that are inherently uncertain and because there is a likelihood that materially different amounts could be 
reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. We have discussed the development, selection, 
and application of our key accounting policies, and the critical accounting estimates and assumptions involved, with 
the Audit Committee.  

The critical estimates and judgments involved in preparing our Annual Financial Statements for the year ended 
December 31, 2022 were:  

  determination of the functional currency of each Finning entity;  
  estimation of revenues and costs associated with long-term product support contracts and complex power and 

energy systems; 

  determination of when control transfers to customers for revenue contracts; 
  determination of whether a significant economic incentive exists for sales of assets with repurchase 

 

commitments; 
identification of performance obligations in revenue contracts with customers where long-term contracts are sold 
bundled together with the sale of equipment; 

inputs to the models to measure the fair value of certain share-based payments;  

  estimation of allowance for doubtful accounts; 
  estimation of fair value of derivative financial instruments; 
 
  estimation of provisions for slow-moving and obsolete inventory; 
  estimation of provisions for income tax; 
  estimation of useful lives and residual values of property, plant, and equipment, rental equipment, and intangible 

assets; 

  determination of lease terms; 
 
identification of the CGU to which assets should be allocated for impairment testing; 
  estimation of recoverable values for goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets; 
  estimation of provisions for warranty; and, 
  assumptions in the actuarial valuation models to measure post-employment benefits. 

For additional information on the above judgments, estimates, and assumptions made, please refer to the notes to 
the Annual Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.  

Revenue Recognition from Long-Term Product Support Contracts and Sales of Complex Power and Energy 
Systems 

Where the outcome of performance obligations for long-term product support contracts and sales of complex power 
and energy systems can be estimated reliably, revenue is recognized. Revenue is measured primarily based on the 
proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to-date relative to the estimated total contract costs. 
Variations in contract work, claims, and incentive payments are included to the extent that they have been agreed 
with the customer. Where the outcome of performance obligations cannot be reliably measured, contract revenue is 
recognized in the current period to the extent that costs have been incurred until such time that the outcome of the 
performance obligations can be reasonably measured. Significant assumptions are required to estimate total 
contract costs, which are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. When it is probable that 
total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is immediately recognized in the 
consolidated statement of net income.

Finning International Inc. 
2022 Annual Results 

Determination of When Control Transfers to Customers for Revenue Contracts  

The Company is required to make judgments when determining when control is transferred to the customer. For the 
sale of new and used equipment and parts inventory, generally, control passes to the customer at the time of 
shipment of the equipment or parts to the customer or when commissioning of equipment is complete. In certain 
circumstances, management must determine if control transfers before or after the goods are shipped to the 
customer (for example, bill-and-hold arrangements). In making this determination, management considers whether 
the Company has transferred significant risks and rewards related to the product, legal title has transferred, the 
Company has the ability to direct or sell the product to another customer, the product is ready for physical transfer, 
or the product is in a condition of being capable of operating in the manner intended. 

Revenue Recognition for Sales of Equipment with Repurchase Commitments  

In certain circumstances, the Company enters into contracts with rights of return, at the customer’s discretion, for the 
repurchase of equipment sold to customers for an amount which is generally based on a discount from the 
estimated future fair value of that equipment. At the inception of the contract, the Company is required to make 
judgments as to whether the customer has a significant economic incentive to exercise its right of return. When no 
such incentive is expected, revenue is recognized upon the sale of equipment but when a significant incentive is 
expected, revenue is recognized over the term of the repurchase commitment. Significant assumptions are made in 
estimating residual values and are assessed based on experience and taking into account expected future market 
conditions and projected disposal values. 

Identifying Performance Obligations in Revenue Contracts 

The Company is required to make judgments when identifying the performance obligations in contracts with 
customers. For sales of parts and labour when servicing equipment under a long-term contract that are sold bundled 
together with the sale of equipment to a customer, management typically concludes that these are two separate 
performance obligations as each of the promises to transfer equipment and provide services is capable of being 
distinct and separately identifiable. 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 

The Company records allowance for doubtful accounts that represents management’s best estimate of potential 
losses in respect of accounts receivables and unbilled receivables. The main components of these allowances are a 
specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures, and a collective loss component 
established for groups of similar assets in respect of losses that are expected to occur.  

The collective loss allowance is estimated based on historical data of payment statistics for similar financial assets, 
adjusted for current and forecasted future economic conditions.  

Expected credit losses related to the current economic environment have been incorporated in management’s 
estimate of its allowance for doubtful accounts. No assurance can be given that this will be sufficient or that the 
Company will not suffer material credit losses that will adversely affect its results. The Company allocates each 
exposure to a credit risk grade based on data that is determined to be predictive of the risk of loss (including but not 
limited to aging of receivable balances, external credit ratings, publicly available information about customers, 
expectation of customer bankruptcies, and the impact of inflation and interest rate increases on customers ability to 
pay) and applying experienced credit judgment. Exposures within each credit risk grade are segmented by 
geographic region, industry classification, and risk categorization. An expected credit loss rate is calculated for each 
segment. 

Provisions for Slow-Moving and Obsolete Inventory  

The Company makes estimates of the provision required to reflect net realizable value of slow-moving and obsolete 
inventory. These estimates are determined on the basis of age, redundancy, and stock levels. For equipment 
inventory, estimates are determined on a specific item basis. Management reviewed equipment values with 
equipment specialists taking into account current market demand, market supply of equipment, market prices, and 
the age and condition of equipment. Management reviewed parts inventory estimates based on market demand, 
parts turns, discontinued items, ability to return to the vendor, and surplus/excess items.

Provisions for Income Tax 

Estimations of tax assets or liabilities require assessments to be made based on the potential tax treatment of 
certain items that will only be resolved once finally agreed with the relevant tax authorities. 

Assumptions underlying the composition of deferred tax assets and liabilities include estimates of future results of 
operations and the timing of reversal of temporary differences as well as the substantively enacted tax rates and 
laws in each jurisdiction at the time of the expected reversal. The composition of deferred tax assets and liabilities 
changes from period to period due to the uncertainties surrounding these assumptions and changes in tax rates or 
regimes which could have a material effect on expected results. 

Judgment is required as income tax laws and regulations can be complex and are potentially subject to a different 
interpretation between us and the respective tax authority. Due to the number of variables associated with the 
differing tax laws and regulations across the multiple jurisdictions in which we operate, the precision and reliability of 
the resulting estimates are subject to uncertainties and may change as additional information becomes known. Net 
income in subsequent periods may be impacted by the amount that estimates differ from the final tax return or from 
any subsequent re-assessment. 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets with Indefinite Lives 

The recoverable value of each CGU or group of CGUSs is estimated using a discounted cash flow model. The 
process of determining these recoverable values requires estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, 
future cash flows, growth projections, associated economic risk assumptions and estimates of key operating metrics 
and drivers, and WACC rates. Cash flow projections are based on financial budgets approved by our Board. 
Projected cash flows are discounted using WACC rates. These estimates are subject to change due to uncertain 
competitive and economic market conditions or changes in business strategies. 

Judgment is used to identify an appropriate discount rate and growth rate used to estimate the recoverable value, 
identifying the CGUs to which intangible assets should be allocated, and the CGU or group of CGUs at which 
goodwill is monitored for management purposes.  

The recoverable value of CGUs or group of CGUs requires the use of estimates related to the future operating 
results and cash-generating ability of the assets. 

Related Party Transactions  

Related party transactions incurred in the normal course of business between us and our subsidiaries have been 
eliminated on consolidation and are not considered material for disclosure. Information on our wholly owned 
subsidiaries and the main countries in which they operate is contained in Note 2 of the Annual Financial Statements. 
Compensation of key management personnel is disclosed in Note 25 of the Annual Financial Statements.  

New Accounting Pronouncements  

The adoption of recent amendments to accounting standards had no impact on our financial statements. Future 
accounting pronouncements and effective dates are included in Note 2 of our Annual Financial Statements.

Risk Factors and Management  

We are exposed to market, credit, liquidity, and other risks in the normal course of our business activities. Our ERM 
process is designed to ensure that such risks are identified, managed, and reported. This framework assists us in 
managing business activities and risks across the organization to achieve our strategic objectives.  

We maintain a strong risk management culture to protect and enhance shareholder value. On a quarterly basis, 
Board level committees review our business risk assessment and the management of key business risks, any 
changes to key risk exposures, and the steps taken to monitor and control such exposures, and report their review 
to the Board. The Board reviews all material risks on an annual basis. The Board also reviews the adequacy of 
disclosures of key risks in our AIF, MD&A, and financial statements on a quarterly and annual basis. All key financial 
risks are disclosed in our MD&A and other key business risks are disclosed in our AIF. For more information on our 
financial instruments, including accounting policies, description of financial risks, and relevant financial risk 
sensitivities, please refer to Note 8 of the Annual Financial Statements. 

Commodity Prices  

We are affected by fluctuations in the prices of commodities, such as copper, gold, and other metals, metallurgical 
coal, natural gas, oil, and lumber. We provide equipment and parts and service to customers in resource and 
construction industries. In the resource sector, fluctuations in commodity prices and changes in the long-term 
outlook for commodities impact customer decisions regarding capital expenditures and production levels, which 
determine demand for equipment, parts and service. In the construction sector, publicly funded infrastructure 
spending is indirectly impacted by fluctuations in commodity prices, particularly in regions with resource-based 
economies. In Canada, our customers, mostly in the oil sands in Northern Alberta, are exposed to the price of oil. In 
South America, our customers are primarily exposed to the price of copper and, to a much lesser extent, the prices 
of gold, other metals, and natural gas. In the UK & Ireland, our resource sector customers operate in offshore oil & 
gas. Significant fluctuations in these commodity prices could have a material impact on our financial results. 

In periods of significantly lower commodity prices, demand is reduced as development of new projects is slowed or 
stopped and production from existing projects can be curtailed, leading to less demand for equipment. However, 
product support growth has been, and is expected to continue to be, important in mitigating the effects of downturns 
in the business cycle. Alternatively, if commodity prices rapidly increase, customer demand for our products and 
services could increase and apply pressure on our ability to supply the products or skilled technicians on a timely 
and cost-efficient basis. To assist in mitigating the impacts of fluctuations in demand for our products and services, 
we work closely with Caterpillar to achieve an adequate and timely supply of product and have implemented human 
resources recruiting and workforce management strategies to achieve adequate staffing levels.  

Financial Instruments Risk 

We are exposed to risks through our operations that arise from the use of financial instruments, which include credit 
risk and liquidity risk. Under the normal course of operations, we have mitigation strategies to minimize these risks. 
In the current economic climate, we have heightened exposure to these risks.  

Credit Risk  

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to us if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its 
contractual obligations. This risk arises principally in respect of our cash and cash equivalents, receivables from 
customers, receivables from suppliers, and derivative assets.  

Credit risk associated with cash and cash equivalents is managed by ensuring that these financial assets are held 
with major financial institutions with strong investment grade ratings and by monitoring the exposures with any single 
institution. An ongoing review is performed to evaluate the changes in the credit rating of counterparties.  

Credit risk associated with accounts receivable and unbilled receivables from customers is minimized because of 
the diversification of our operations as well as our large customer base and geographical dispersion. Also, we have 
policies in place to manage credit risk, including maintaining credit limits for customers taking into account factors 
such as projected purchase values, credit worthiness of the customer, and payment performance. 

We are exposed to risk on supplier claims receivable, primarily from Caterpillar with whom we have had a 
relationship since 1933.

2022 Annual Results 

Liquidity Risk 

Liquidity risk is the risk that we will not be able to meet our financial obligations as they fall due. Our approach to 
managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that we will have sufficient liquid financial resources to fund 
operations and meet commitments and obligations. We maintain bilateral and syndicated credit facilities, 
continuously monitor actual and forecast cash flows, and manage maturity profiles of financial liabilities. Based on 
the availability of credit facilities, our business operating plans, and the discretionary nature of some cash outflows, 
such as rental and capital expenditures, we believe we continue to have sufficient liquidity to meet operational 
needs.  

We will require capital to finance future growth and to refinance outstanding debt obligations as they come due for 
repayment. If the cash generated from our operations is not sufficient to fund future capital and debt repayment 
requirements, we will require additional debt or equity financing. Our ability to access capital markets for additional 
debt or equity on terms that are acceptable will be dependent upon prevailing market conditions, as well as our 
financial condition. Further, our ability to increase the level of debt financing may be limited by financial covenants or 
credit rating objectives. The ability to raise additional financing for future activities may be impaired, or such 
financing may not be available on favourable terms, due to conditions beyond our control, such as uncertainty in the 
capital markets, depressed commodity prices or country risk factors.  

Market Risk and Hedging   

Market risk is the risk that changes in the market, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates, will affect our 
net income or the fair value of our financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and 
control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters. 

We utilize derivative financial instruments and foreign currency debt in order to manage our foreign currency and 
interest rate exposures. We use derivative financial instruments only in connection with managing related risk 
positions and do not use them for trading or speculative purposes. All such transactions are carried out within the 
guidelines set by us and approved by the Audit Committee. For more information on our accounting policy on 
financial instruments, please refer to Note 8 of the Annual Financial Statements. 

Foreign Exchange Risk 

We are geographically diversified, with significant investments in several different countries. We transact business in 
multiple currencies, the most significant of which are the CAD, USD, GBP, CLP, and ARS. The functional currency 
of our South American operations is USD and the functional currency of our UK & Ireland operations is primarily 
GBP (Finning Ireland’s functional currency is the Euro). As a result, we have foreign currency exposure with respect 
to items denominated in foreign currencies. Our main types of foreign exchange risk can be categorized as follows: 

Translation Exposure 

The most significant foreign exchange impact on our net income and other comprehensive income is the translation 
of foreign currency-based earnings and net assets or liabilities into CAD, which is our presentation currency. Our 
South American and UK & Ireland operations have functional currencies other than CAD and, as a result, exchange 
rate movements between the USD/CAD and GBP/CAD will impact the consolidated results of the South American 
and UK & Ireland operations in CAD terms. We do not hedge our exposure to foreign exchange risk with regard to 
foreign currency earnings. 

Assets and liabilities of our South American and UK & Ireland operations are translated into CAD using the 
exchange rates in effect at the consolidated statement of financial position dates. Any translation gains and losses 
are recorded as foreign currency translation adjustments in other comprehensive income. To the extent practical, it 
is our objective to manage this exposure by hedging a portion of our foreign investments with loans denominated in 
foreign currencies. The 7% weaker CAD relative to the USD partially offset by the 5% stronger CAD relative to the 
GBP at December 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021 resulted in a foreign currency translation gain of $79 
million recorded in 2022. This was partially offset by a $22 million unrealized foreign exchange loss on net 
investment hedges. 

Transaction Exposure 

Many of our operations purchase, sell, rent, and lease assets as well as incur costs in currencies other than their 
functional currency. This mismatch of currencies creates transactional exposure, which may affect our profitability as 
exchange rates fluctuate. For example, our Canadian operating results are exposed to volatility in USD/CAD rates 
between the timing of equipment and parts purchases that are made in USD and the ultimate sale to customers 
made in CAD. A portion of this exposure is hedged through the use of forward exchange contracts as well as 
managed through pricing practices. We apply hedge accounting to hedges of certain inventory purchases and sales 
of complex power and energy systems in our Canadian and UK & Ireland operations, respectively.  

33 

Finning International Inc. 
2022 Annual Results 

The results of our operations are impacted by the translation of foreign-denominated transactions; the results of our 
Canadian operations are impacted by USD based revenue and costs, and the results of our South American 
operations are impacted by CLP and ARS based revenues and costs. 

We are also exposed to foreign currency risks related to the future cash flows on our foreign-denominated financial 
assets and financial liabilities and foreign-denominated net asset or net liability positions on our consolidated 
statement of financial position. We enter into forward exchange contracts to manage some mismatches in foreign 
currency cash flows but do not fully hedge balance sheet exposure, so this may result in unrealized foreign 
exchange gains or losses until the financial assets and financial liabilities are settled. 

The CAD has historically been positively correlated to certain commodity prices. In a scenario of declining 
commodity prices, our resource industry customers may curtail capital expenditures and decrease production which 
can result in reduced demand for equipment, parts, and services. At the same time, the weaker CAD to USD 
positively impacts our financial results when USD based revenues and earnings are translated into CAD reported 
revenues and earnings, although lags may occur.  

The results of our South American operations are affected by changes in the USD/CLP and USD/ARS relationships. 
Historically, the CLP has been positively correlated to the price of copper. As the price of copper declines, the value 
of the CLP versus the USD declines as well. In such an environment, our revenue may be impacted as mining 
customers curtail their equipment and product support spend. Our SG&A in South America, which is largely 
denominated in local currency, is reduced when translated into USD, partly offsetting the impact on revenue. The 
reverse holds true in an environment where the copper price strengthens, although generally there is a lag between 
the increase in SG&A and the improvement in revenue. These impacts are partially offset by our hedging programs. 

Our competitive position may also be impacted as relative currency movements affect the business practices and/or 
pricing strategies of our competitors.  

Key exchange rates that impacted our results were as follows:

The impact of foreign exchange due to fluctuations in the value of CAD relative to USD, GBP, CLP, and ARS is 
expected to continue to affect our results. 

Interest Rate Risk 

Changes in market interest rates can cause fluctuations in the fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments. 

We are exposed to changes in interest rates on our interest-bearing financial assets. Our floating-rate financial 
assets comprise cash and cash equivalents. Due to the short-term nature of cash and cash equivalents, the impact 
of fluctuations in fair value is limited but interest income earned can be impacted. Instalment and other notes 
receivable bear interest at a fixed rate thus their fair value will fluctuate prior to maturity but, absent monetization, 
future cash flows do not change.  

We are exposed to changes in interest rates on our interest-bearing financial liabilities, primarily from short-term and 
long-term debt and lease liabilities. Our debt portfolio comprises both fixed and floating rate debt instruments, with 
terms to maturity ranging up to 2042. Our floating rate debt is short term in nature and as a result, we are exposed 
to limited fluctuations in changes to fair value, but finance expense and cash flows will increase or decrease as 
interest rates change.  

The fair value of our fixed rate debt obligations fluctuates with changes in interest rates, but absent early settlement, 
related cash flows do not change. We are exposed to changes in future interest rates upon refinancing of any debt 
prior to or at maturity. 

We manage our interest rate risk by balancing our portfolio of fixed and floating rate debt, as well as managing the 
term to maturity of our debt portfolio.

2022 Annual Results 

Share-Based Payment Risk  

Share-based payment plans are an integral part of our employee compensation program and can be in the form of 
our common shares or cash payments that reflect the value of our shares and the extent we are able to achieve or 
exceed specified performance levels. Share-based payment plans are accounted for at fair value, and the expense 
associated with these plans can therefore vary as our share price, share price volatility, performance, and employee 
exercise behaviour change. For further details on our share-based payment plans, please refer to Note 11 of the 
Annual Financial Statements.  

Contingencies and Guarantees 

Due to the size, complexity, and nature of our operations, various legal, customs, and tax matters are pending. It is 
not currently possible to predict the outcome of such matters due to various factors, including the preliminary nature 
of some claims, an incomplete factual record, and uncertainty concerning procedures and their resolution by the 
courts, customs, or tax authorities. However, subject to these limitations, we are of the opinion, based on legal 
assessments and information presently available, that, except as stated below, it is not likely that any liability would 
have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.  

We began to export an agricultural animal feed product from Argentina in the third quarter of 2012 in response to the 
Argentine government’s efforts to balance imports and exports and to manage access to foreign currency. These 
exports enabled us to import goods into Argentina to satisfy customer demand, while meeting the government’s 
requirements. We have not exported agricultural animal feed product since the third quarter of 2013. The Argentina 
Customs Authority has made a number of claims against us associated with the export of this agricultural animal 
feed product over this period and has also issued an order that could result in up to a one-year suspension of 
imports into Argentina by a portion of the business. The essence of these claims is related to the tariff classification 
of this product and therefore the export duty payable. We are appealing these claims and the order, believe they are 
without merit, and are confident in our position. Mitigation measures are also available to us in the unlikely event our 
appeal of the potential imports suspension order is not successful. These pending matters may take a number of 
years to resolve. No progress was made on these appeals in 2022. In response to an application by the Canadian 
government, in April 2021 and, following a reservation by Argentina, again in September 2022 the member states of 
the World Customs Organization voted by a significant margin in favour of the tariff classification used by our South 
American operations. These results have been filed in the appeals of the Argentina Customs Authority claims. 
Argentina has filed a further, and final, reservation and the matter will come before the World Customs Organization 
again in 2023. We are confident the decision will be upheld again. Should the ultimate resolution of these matters 
differ from our assessment and, in the case of the potential suspension of imports into Argentina by a portion of the 
business, the mitigation measures not be effective, this could have a material negative impact on our financial 
position. 

In certain circumstances, we enter into contracts with rights of return (at the customer’s discretion) for the 
repurchase or trade-in of equipment sold to customers for an amount which is generally based on a discount from 
the estimated future fair value of that equipment. At December 31, 2022, the total estimated value of these contracts 
outstanding was $113 million (2021: $146 million) coming due at periods ranging from 2023 to 2027. Our experience 
to date has been that the estimated fair value of the equipment at the exercise date of the contract is generally 
greater than the repurchase price or trade-in amount, however, there can be no assurance that this experience will 
continue in the future. The total amount recognized as a provision against these contracts at December 31, 2022 
was $2 million (2021: $2 million). 

For further information on our contingencies, commitments, guarantees, and indemnifications, refer to Notes 26 and 
27 of the Annual Financial Statements.

Controls and Procedures Certification 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

We are responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of controls and procedures over the public disclosure 
of our financial and non-financial information. Such controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable 
assurance that all relevant information is gathered and reported to senior management, including the CEO and 
CFO, on a timely basis so that appropriate decisions can be made regarding public disclosure.  

The CEO and the CFO, together with other members of management, have designed our disclosure controls and 
procedures in order to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to Finning and its 
consolidated subsidiaries is made known to them in a timely manner.  

We have a Corporate Disclosure Policy and a Disclosure Committee in place to mitigate risks associated with the 
disclosure of inaccurate or incomplete information, or failure to disclose required information.  

  The Corporate Disclosure Policy sets out accountabilities, authorized spokespersons, and our approach to the 
determination, preparation, and dissemination of material information. The policy also defines restrictions on 
insider trading and the handling of confidential information.  

  The Disclosure Committee, consisting of senior management, including legal counsel, reviews all financial 
information prepared for communication to the public to ensure it meets all regulatory requirements. The 
Disclosure Committee is responsible for raising any outstanding issues it believes require the attention or 
approval of the Audit Committee prior to recommending disclosure, subject to legal requirements applicable to 
disclosure of material information. 

Internal Control over Financial Reporting 

We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. We have 
designed internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial 
reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS. There has been no change in the 
design of our internal controls over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2022 that would 
materially affect, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 

Regular involvement of our internal audit function and quarterly reporting to the Audit Committee assist in providing 
reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. While our officers have designed our 
disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance that 
the objectives of the control systems are met, they are aware that these controls and procedures may not prevent all 
errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can only provide reasonable, not 
absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. 

Evaluation of Effectiveness 

As required by National Instrument 52-109, Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings issued 
by the Canadian securities regulatory authorities, an evaluation of the design and testing of the effectiveness of the 
operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting was 
conducted as of December 31, 2022, by and under the supervision of management. In making the assessment of 
the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, 
we used the criteria set forth by the COSO in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013 edition). The evaluation 
included documentation review, enquiries, testing, and other procedures considered by us to be appropriate in the 
circumstances. 

Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and 
procedures and internal control over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2022.

Description of Specified Financial Measures and Reconciliations     

Specified Financial Measures 

We believe that certain specified financial measures, including non-GAAP financial measures, provide users of our 
MD&A and consolidated financial statements with important information regarding the operational performance and 
related trends of our business. The specified financial measures we use do not have any standardized meaning 
prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. 
Accordingly, specified financial measures should not be considered as a substitute or alternative for financial 
measures determined in accordance with GAAP (GAAP financial measures). By considering these specified 
financial measures in combination with the comparable GAAP financial measures (where available) we believe that 
users are provided a better overall understanding of our business and financial performance during the relevant 
period than if they simply considered the GAAP financial measures alone.  

We use KPIs to consistently measure performance against our priorities across the organization. Some of our KPIs 
are specified financial measures.  

There may be significant items that we do not consider indicative of our operational and financial trends, either by 
nature or amount. We exclude these items when evaluating our operating financial performance. These items may 
not be non-recurring, but we believe that excluding these significant items from GAAP financial measures provides a 
better understanding of our financial performance when considered in conjunction with the GAAP financial 
measures. Financial measures that have been adjusted to take these significant items into account are referred to 
as “Adjusted measures”. Adjusted measures are specified financial measures and are intended to provide additional 
information to readers of the MD&A.  

Descriptions and components of the specified financial measures we use in this MD&A are set out below. Where 
applicable, quantitative reconciliations from certain specified financial measures to their most directly comparable 
GAAP financial measures (specified, defined, or determined under GAAP and used in our consolidated financial 
statements) are also set out below.  

Adjusted EPS 

Adjusted EPS excludes the after-tax per share impact of significant items that we do not consider to be indicative of 
operational and financial trends either by nature or amount to provide a better overall understanding of our 
underlying business performance. The tax impact of each significant item is calculated by applying the relevant 
applicable tax rate for the jurisdiction in which the significant item occurred. The after-tax per share impact of 
significant items is calculated by dividing the after-tax amount of significant items by the weighted average number 
of common shares outstanding during the period.  

A reconciliation between EPS (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) and Adjusted EPS can be 
found on page 40 of this MD&A. 

Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA, and EBITDA 

Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA exclude items that we do not consider to be indicative of operational and 
financial trends, either by nature or amount, to provide a better overall understanding of our underlying business 
performance. 

EBITDA is calculated by adding depreciation and amortization to EBIT. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding 
depreciation and amortization to Adjusted EBIT.  

The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBIT is EBIT.

Equipment Backlog 

Equipment backlog is defined as the retail value of new equipment units ordered by customers for future deliveries. We use equipment backlog as a measure 
of projecting future new equipment deliveries. There is no directly comparable GAAP financial measure for equipment backlog.   

Free Cash Flow 

Free cash flow is defined as cash flow provided by or used in operating activities less net additions to property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets, 
as disclosed in our financial statements. We use free cash flow to assess cash operating performance, including working capital efficiency. Consistent 
positive free cash flow generation enables us to re-invest capital to grow our business and return capital to shareholders. A reconciliation from cash flow 
used in or provided by operating activities to free cash flow is as follows:

Inventory turns (dealership) is the number of times our dealership inventory is sold and replaced over a period. We use inventory turns (dealership) to 
measure asset utilization. Inventory turns (dealership) is calculated as annualized cost of sales (excluding cost of sales related to the mobile refuelling 
operations) for the last six months divided by average inventory (excluding fuel inventory), based on an average of the last two quarters. Cost of sales related 
to the dealership and inventory related to the dealership are calculated as follows:

Invested Capital 

Invested capital is calculated as net debt plus total equity. Invested capital is also calculated as total assets less total liabilities, excluding net debt. Net debt 
is calculated as short-term and long-term debt, net of cash and cash equivalents. We use invested capital as a measure of the total cash investment made in 
Finning and each reportable segment. Invested capital is used in a number of different measurements (ROIC, Adjusted ROIC, invested capital turnover) to 
assess financial performance against other companies and between reportable segments. Invested capital is calculated as follows:

Invested Capital Turnover 

We use invested capital turnover to measure capital efficiency. Invested capital turnover is calculated as net revenue for the last twelve months divided by 
average invested capital of the last four quarters. 

Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio 

This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months. We use this ratio to assess operating leverage and ability to repay 
debt. This ratio approximates the length of time, in years, that it would take us to repay debt, with net debt and Adjusted EBITDA held constant.

Net Revenue, Gross Profit as a % of Net Revenue, SG&A as a % of Net Revenue, EBITDA as a % of Net Revenue, EBIT as a % of Net Revenue, Net 
Revenue by Line of Business as a % of Net Revenue, and Net Revenue by Operation as a % of Net Revenue 

Net revenue is defined as total revenue less the cost of fuel related to the mobile refuelling operations in our Canadian operations. As these fuel costs are 
pass-through in nature for this business, we view net revenue as more representative than revenue in assessing the performance of the business because 
the rack price for the cost of fuel is fully passed through to the customer and is not in our control. For our South American and UK & Ireland operations, net 
revenue is the same as total revenue. 

We use these specified financial measures to assess and evaluate the financial performance or profitability of our reportable segments. We may also 
calculate EBITDA as a % of net revenue and EBIT as a % of net revenue using Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT, respectively, to exclude significant 
items we do not consider to be indicative of operational and financial trends either by nature or amount to provide a better overall understanding of our 
underlying business performance. 

The ratios are calculated, respectively, as gross profit divided by net revenue, SG&A divided by net revenue, EBITDA divided by net revenue, EBIT divided 
by net revenue, net revenue by line of business divided by net revenue, and net revenue by operation divided by net revenue. The most directly comparable 
GAAP financial measure to net revenue is total revenue. Net revenue is calculated as follows:

ROIC is defined as EBIT for the last twelve months divided by average invested capital of the last four quarters, expressed as a percentage.  

We view ROIC as a useful measure for capital allocation decisions that drive profitable growth and attractive returns to shareholders. We also calculate 
Adjusted ROIC using Adjusted EBIT to exclude significant items that we do not consider to be indicative of operational and financial trends either by nature 
or amount to provide a better overall understanding of our underlying business performance.

Working Capital & Working Capital to Net Revenue Ratio 

Working capital is defined as total current assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents) less total current liabilities (excluding short-term debt and current 
portion of long-term debt). We view working capital as a measure for assessing overall liquidity. 

The working capital to net revenue ratio is calculated as average working capital of the last four quarters, divided by net revenue for the last twelve months. 
We use this KPI to assess the efficiency in our use of working capital to generate net revenue. 

Working capital is calculated as follows:

shareholders; our target to reduce our absolute GHG by 40% by 2027 (from a 2017 baseline); our aim to publish our 
2022 Sustainability Report in March 2023 (assumes no delays in finalizing the information in that report); the 
possibility that we will pay additional consideration of £nil to £11 million to the vendors of Hydraquip over a three 
year period after the acquisition based on the acquired business unit achieving specified levels of financial 
performance; the expected expanded opportunities and synergies from the Hydraquip acquisition from the 
combination of complementary capabilities and the expected growth potential for product support revenue; our belief 
that improved capital budgets will drive investments in renewal of aging fleets, product support opportunities, and 
productivity improvements; our expectation that our effective tax rate generally be within the 25-30% range on an 
annual basis; all information in the section entitled “Market Update and Business Outlook” starting on page 24 of this 
MD&A, including for our Canada operations: our expectation of healthy market activity across Western Canada 
(based on assumptions of continued strength in the mining and energy sectors, continued constructive commodity 
prices, improved customer capital budgets, mining customers’ continued interest in extending the life of their assets 
and improving productivity, and the federal and provincial governments’ infrastructure programs and private sector 
investments in natural gas, carbon capture, utilization and storage, and various power projects), including renewal of 
aging fleets, product support opportunities in the oil sands and other mining and growing demand for component 
remanufacturing, equipment rebuilds and autonomy implementation; demand for construction equipment and 
product support, rentals, and prime and standby electric power generation; for our South America operations: our 
positive outlook for mining in Chile in 2023 and belief that Chile will remain an attractive place to invest (based on 
assumptions of a strengthening copper price, that the timing of investment decisions related to greenfield and new 
expansion project will remain uncertain until the new mining royalty proposal is approved, and that the electrification 
trend will continue and will drive increasing global demand for copper); our expectations for mining deliveries in 
Chile and continued strong demand for mining product support and technology solutions, including autonomy (based 
on assumptions that deliveries will be driven by our recent wins with BHP and Codelco and committed medium-term 
investment in fleet replacements across our mining customer base); that slowing economic growth and higher 
interest rates will continue impacting construction activity in Chile in 2023; and that in Argentina, activity in 
construction, oil and gas, and mining are expected to remain stable, however, high inflation, currency restrictions 
and new import regulations will continue to impact our business (based on assumptions that we will be able to 
manage through the challenging fiscal, regulatory, and currency environments); for our UK & Ireland operations: our 
expectation of lower construction new equipment sales in 2023 and that overall demand for construction equipment 
in the UK will decline in 2023 (based on assumptions of slowing economic growth rates), but continued strong 
demand for product support (driven by HS2 activity and the assumption of continued high machine utilization rates 
across broader construction markets); and that demand for our power systems business will remain robust, including 
in the data centre market, that we have a strong backlog of power systems projects for delivery in 2023, and that we 
are well positioned to capture further opportunities; and for 2023 overall: there is an uncertain global business 
environment, including slowing rates of growth, and we are reinforcing our mid-cycle operating cost and capital 
model, but we expect demand conditions in our diverse end markets will be constructive (based on assumptions of 
continued favourable commodity prices and strong demand from mining and energy customers); our plan to reduce 
our capital expenditures budget in 2023 and allocate a higher proportion to reinvestment in rental fleet and strategic 
investments in electric drive mining trucks for demonstration purposes; that our 2023 net capital expenditures and 
net rental fleet additions will be in the range of $190 million to $240 million; that we will be placing a higher priority 
on debt repayment and reduction in our net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio; and that we are seeing continued 
momentum at the start of 2023 and expect growth in the first half of the year compared to the first half of 2022 
(based on our record equipment backlog, busy workshops and growth in rebuilds driven by the strong execution of 
our product support growth strategy); that we will have sufficient liquidity to meet operational needs (based on cash 
on hand, available credit facilities and the discretionary nature of certain cash flows, such as rental and capital 
expenditures); our expected contribution of approximately $5 million to our defined benefit pension plans over 2023 
and that we have the financial capacity to fully fund our accrued obligations under those plans (based on the most 

49 

Finning International Inc. 
2022 Annual Results 

recently completed valuations); our expectation that foreign exchange fluctuations will continue to affect our results; 
and our belief that the claims and order issued by the Argentina Customs Authority described on page 35 of this 
report are without merit, that the World Customs Organization decision in favour of our tariff classification of certain 
historical animal feed exports will be upheld again and that there will be no further reservations, and that there are 
mitigation measures available to us, which we will effectively execute, if the order, currently not in effect, to suspend 
imports into Argentina by a portion of the business is upheld on appeal.  

All such forward-looking information is provided pursuant to the ‘safe harbour’ provisions of applicable Canadian 
securities laws. Unless we indicate otherwise, forward-looking information in this report reflects our expectations at 
the date of this MD&A. Except as may be required by Canadian securities laws, we do not undertake any obligation 
to update or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events, or 
otherwise.  

Forward-looking information, by its very nature, is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties and is based on a 
number of assumptions. This gives rise to the possibility that actual results could differ materially from the 
expectations expressed in or implied by such forward-looking information and that our business outlook, objectives, 
plans, strategic priorities and other information that is not historical fact may not be achieved. As a result, we cannot 
guarantee that any forward-looking information will materialize.  

Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by this 
forward-looking information include: the specific factors stated above; the impact and duration of, and our ability to 
respond to and manage, high inflation, increasing interest rates, supply chain challenges, and the impacts of the 
Russia-Ukraine war; general economic and market conditions, including increasing inflationary cost pressure, and 
economic and market conditions in the regions where we operate; the outcome of Chile’s constitutional reform 
process and proposed tax reform bill, including the proposal for a revised mining royalty framework; foreign 
exchange rates; commodity prices; interest rates; the level of customer confidence and spending, and the demand 
for, and prices of, our products and services; our ability to maintain our relationship with Caterpillar; our dependence

approvals, and secure financing on attractive terms or at all; our ability to manage our growth strategy effectively; 
our ability to effectively price and manage long-term product support contracts with our customers; our ability to 
drive continuous cost efficiency in a recovering market; our ability to attract sufficient skilled labour resources as 
market conditions, business strategy or technologies change; our ability to negotiate and renew collective bargaining 
agreements with satisfactory terms for our employees and us; the intensity of competitive activity; our ability to 
maintain a safe and healthy work environment across all regions; our ability to raise the capital needed to implement 
the business plan; business disruption resulting from business process change, systems change and organizational 
change; regulatory initiatives or proceedings, litigation and changes in laws, regulations or policies, including with 
respect to environmental protection and/or energy transition; stock market volatility; changes in political and 
economic environments in the regions where we carry on business; our ability to respond to climate change-related 
risks; the availability of carbon neutral technology or renewable power; the cost of climate change initiatives; the 
occurrence of one or more natural disasters, pandemic outbreaks, geo-political events, acts of terrorism, social 
unrest or similar disruptions; fluctuations in defined benefit pension plan contributions and related pension 
expenses; the availability of insurance at commercially reasonable rates and whether the amount of insurance 
coverage will be adequate to cover all liability or loss that we incur; the potential of warranty claims being greater 
than we anticipate; the integrity, reliability and availability of, and benefits from, information technology and the data 
processed by that technology; and our ability to protect our business from cybersecurity threats or incidents. 

Forward-looking information is provided in this report to give information about our current expectations and plans 
and allow investors and others to get a better understanding of our operating environment. However, readers are 
cautioned that it may not be appropriate to use such forward-looking information for any other purpose. 

Forward-looking information provided in this report is based on a number of assumptions that we believed were 
reasonable on the day the information was given, including but not limited to: the specific assumptions stated above; 
that we will be able to successfully manage our business through the current challenging times involving volatile 
commodity prices, high inflation, increasing interest rates, supply chain challenges and the impacts of the Russia-
Ukraine war, and successfully execute our economic condition and business cyclicality mitigation strategies, 
including preparing for future waves (if any) of COVID-19; an undisrupted market recovery, for example, undisrupted 
by further COVID-19 impacts, commodity price volatility or social unrest; the successful execution of our profitability 
drivers; that our cost actions to drive earnings capacity in a recovery can be sustained; that commodity prices will 
remain at constructive levels; that our customers will not curtail their activities; that general economic and market 

50

2022 Annual Results 

conditions will continue to be strong; that the level of customer confidence and spending, and the demand for, and 
prices of, our products and services will be maintained; that support and demand for renewable energy will continue 
to grow; that present supply chain and inflationary challenges will not materially impact large project deliveries in our 
backlog; our ability to successfully execute our plans and intentions; we will successfully execute initiatives to 
reduce our GHG emissions; our ability to attract and retain skilled staff; market competition will remain at similar 
levels; the products and technology offered by our competitors will be as expected; identified opportunities for 
growth will result in revenue; that we have sufficient liquidity to meet operational needs; consistent and stable 
legislation in the various countries in which we operate; no disruptive changes in the technology environment and 
that our current good relationships with Caterpillar, our customers and our suppliers, service providers and other 
third parties will be maintained; sustainment of strengthened oil prices and the Alberta government will not re-
impose production curtailments; quoting activity for requests for proposals for equipment and product support is 
reflective of opportunities; and strong recoveries in our regions, particularly in Chile and the UK.  

Some of the assumptions, risks, and other factors that could cause results to differ materially from those expressed 
in the forward-looking information contained in this report are discussed in our current AIF and in our annual and 
most recent quarterly MD&A for the financial risks. We caution readers that the risks described in the annual and 
most recent quarterly MD&A and in the AIF are not the only ones that could impact us. Additional risks and 
uncertainties not currently known to us or that are currently deemed to be immaterial may also have a material 
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operation. 

Except as otherwise indicated, forward-looking information does not reflect the potential impact of any non-recurring 
or other unusual items or of any dispositions, mergers, acquisitions, other business combinations or other 
transactions that may be announced or that may occur after the date of this report. The financial impact of these 
transactions and non-recurring and other unusual items can be complex and depends on the facts particular to each 
of them. We therefore cannot describe the expected impact in a meaningful way or in the same manner we present 
known risks affecting our business.

MANAGEMENT'S REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS 

The audited annual consolidated financial statements (Annual Financial Statements) and Management’s Discussion 
and Analysis (MD&A) are the responsibility of the management of Finning International Inc. (the Company). The 
Annual Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards 
which recognize the necessity of relying on management's best estimates and informed judgments. The financial 
information presented in the Company’s MD&A is consistent with that in the Annual Financial Statements. The 
Annual Financial Statements and MD&A have, in management's opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable 
limits of materiality. 

The Company maintains an accounting system and related controls to provide management with reasonable 
assurance that transactions are executed and recorded in accordance with its authorizations, that assets are 
properly safeguarded and accounted for, and that financial records are reliable for preparation of financial 
statements. 

The Company's independent auditors, Deloitte LLP, have audited the Annual Financial Statements, as reflected in 
their report for 2022. 

The Board of Directors oversees management’s responsibilities for the Annual Financial Statements primarily 
through the activities of its Audit Committee. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is composed solely of 
directors who are neither officers nor employees of the Company. The Audit Committee meets regularly during the 
year with management of the Company and the Company’s independent auditors to review the Company’s 
unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements (Interim Financial Statements), Annual Financial 
Statements, and MD&A. The Audit Committee also reviews internal accounting controls, risk management, internal 
and external audit results and accounting principles and practices. The Audit Committee is responsible for approving 
the remuneration and terms of engagement of the Company’s independent auditors. The Audit Committee also 
meets with the independent auditors, without management present, to discuss the results of their audit and the 
quality of financial reporting. On a quarterly basis, the Audit Committee reports its findings to the Board of Directors, 
and recommends approval of the Interim Financial Statements or Annual Financial Statements, as well as the 
MD&A.

Independent Auditor’s Report 

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of  
Finning International Inc.:  

Opinion 

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Finning International Inc. (the "Company"), which 
comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the consolidated 
statements of net income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and 
notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively 
referred to as the "financial statements"). 

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of 
the Company as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then 
ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). 

Basis for Opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards ("Canadian GAAS"). 
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the 
Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical 
requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other 
ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained 
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

Key Audit Matter 

A key audit matter is a matter that, in our professional judgment, was of most significance in our audit of the 
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. This matter was 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 this matter. 

Revenue from sales of parts and labour when servicing equipment under long-term contracts and revenue 
from sales of complex power and energy systems - Refer to Note 4 to the financial statements  

Key Audit Matter Description  

The Company recognizes long-term contracts revenue in a manner that best reflects the Company’s performance 
over-time for revenue from sales of parts and labour when servicing equipment under long-term contracts and 
revenue from sales of complex power and energy systems, which are presented as product support and new 
equipment revenue, respectively, in the financial statements.  

Revenue is recorded primarily based on the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to-date relative 
to the estimated total contract costs. The accounting for servicing equipment under long-term contracts and for 
complex power and energy system contracts that are not complete at the reporting date (collectively the 
“uncompleted contracts”) involves significant judgments to estimate total contract costs. This required extensive 
audit effort and a high degree of auditor attention in applying the audit procedures to audit management’s estimates 
and evaluating the results of those procedures.

Finning International Inc. 
2022 Annual Results 

How the Key Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit  

Our audit procedures related to management’s estimated total contract costs for uncompleted contracts included the 
following, among others: 

  For a selection of uncompleted contracts, we: 

o  Obtained and inspected the executed contract agreements and amendments, and confirmed key 

terms with management and contract personnel. 

o  Conducted inquiries with management and operational personnel to gain an understanding of the 

status of contract activities. 

o  Evaluated costs to complete by testing key components of the estimated total contract costs, 

including parts and labour. 

o  Compared management’s estimated total contract costs to those of similar contracts, when 

applicable. 

o  Evaluated management’s ability to achieve the estimated total contract costs by performing 

corroborative inquiry with the Company’s operational personnel and by comparing the estimates to 
management’s work plans and costs incurred to date. 

  Evaluated management’s ability to estimate total contract costs accurately by comparing actual costs to 

management’s historical estimates for completed contracts. 

Other Information 

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

  Management's Discussion and Analysis 

  The information, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon, in the Financial Report.  

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any 
form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to 
read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially 
inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be 
materially misstated.  

We obtained Management’s Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor’s report. If, based on the work 
we have performed on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other 
information, we are required to report that fact in this auditor’s report. We have nothing to report in this regard.  

The Financial Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of the auditor's report. If, based on the 
work we will perform on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other 
information, we are required to report that fact to those charged with governance. 

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

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with 
IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial 
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

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

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from 
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. 
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance 
with Canadian GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud 
or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to 
influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain 
professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: 

 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or 
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is 
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material 
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, 
forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. 

  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are 
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of 
the Company's internal control.  

  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates 

and related disclosures made by management. 

  Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, 

based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions 
that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that 
a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related 
disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our 
conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future 
events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. 

  Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the 

disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a 
manner that achieves fair presentation. 

  Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business 

activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the 
direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit 
opinion.  

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

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

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

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Raj S. Bhogal.

2022 Annual Results 
Notes to the Annual Financial Statements 

1. GENERAL INFORMATION 

Finning International Inc. (“Finning”) is a widely held, publicly traded corporation, listed on the Toronto Stock 
Exchange (TSX: FTT). The registered and head office of the Company is located at 19100 94 Avenue, Surrey, 
British Columbia, Canada. The Company’s principal business is the sale of heavy equipment and power and energy 
systems, rental of equipment, and providing product support including sales of parts and servicing of equipment. 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, KEY ASSUMPTIONS, AND SIGNIFICANT JUDGMENTS 

These annual consolidated financial statements (Annual Financial Statements) of Finning and its subsidiaries 
(together, the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards 
(IFRS) issued and effective for the current year. The Annual Financial Statements were authorized for issuance by 
the Company’s Board of Directors (the Board) on February 6, 2023. The Company has applied the same accounting 
policies consistently to all periods presented unless otherwise noted.  

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, 
estimates, and assumptions in respect of the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, 
liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from those judgments, estimates, and assumptions.  

Certain of the Company’s accounting policies that relate to the financial statements, as well as estimates and 
judgments the Company has made and how they affect the amounts reported in the Annual Financial Statements, 
are incorporated in this section. This note also describes new standards, amendments, or interpretations that are 
effective and applied by the Company during 2022 or are not yet effective. Where an accounting policy, estimate, or 
judgment is applicable to a specific note to the Annual Financial Statements, it is described within that note.  

These Annual Financial Statements were prepared under the historical cost basis except as otherwise described in 
the notes to these Annual Financial Statements.  

(a) Principles of Consolidation 

Accounting Policy 

The Annual Financial Statements include the results of the Company, which includes the Finning (Canada) 
division, and Finning’s subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are those entities over which Finning has the power over the 
investee, is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and has the ability 
to use its power to affect returns of the investee, generally accompanying a shareholding that confers more than 
half of the voting rights. The Annual Financial Statements include the operating results of acquired or disposed 
subsidiaries from the date the Company obtains control or the date control is lost. 

For subsidiaries that the Company controls, but does not own 100%, the portion of net assets and income 
attributable to third parties is reported as non-controlling interests and net income attributable to non-controlling 
interests in the consolidated statement of financial position and consolidated statement of net income, 
respectively. 

The Company’s principal subsidiaries, and the main countries in which they operate, are as follows:

 (b) Joint Ventures and Associate 

Accounting Policy 

The Company accounts for its joint ventures and associate in which the Company has an interest using the equity 
method. The joint ventures and associate follow accounting policies that are materially consistent with the 
Company’s accounting policies. Where the Company transacts with its joint ventures or associate, unrealized profits 
or losses are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in the joint venture or associate.

The Company’s joint ventures and associate are not considered individually material. 

 (c) Foreign Currency Translation 

Accounting Policy 

These Annual Financial Statements are presented in CAD, which is the functional currency of the parent company. 
Transactions undertaken in foreign currencies are translated into the entity’s functional currency at exchange rates 
prevailing at the time the transactions occurred or at the average rate for the period when it is a reasonable 
approximation.  

Account balances denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the entity’s functional currency as follows: 

  Monetary items are translated at exchange rates in effect at the consolidated statement of financial position 

dates and non-monetary items are translated at historical exchange rates; and  

  Foreign exchange gains and losses are recorded in the consolidated statement of net income except where the 
exchange gain or loss arises from the translation of monetary items designated as hedges. Refer to Note 8c for 
the Company’s accounting policy for hedging. 

Financial statements of foreign operations are translated from the functional currency of the foreign operation into 
CAD as follows: 

  Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rates in effect at the reporting dates; 

  Revenue and expense items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period that the 

transactions occurred; and, 

  Foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded in other comprehensive income. Cumulative foreign 

currency translation adjustments are recognized in net income upon the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. a 
disposal of the Company’s entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal that involves loss of control of a 
subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, loss of joint control over a jointly controlled entity that includes a 
foreign operation, or loss of significant influence over an associate that includes a foreign operation). 

The Company uses foreign currency debt to hedge foreign currency gains and losses on its long-term net 
investments in foreign operations. Refer to Note 8c for the Company’s accounting policy for hedging.  

Areas of Significant Judgment 

Management has made judgments with regard to the determination of the functional currency of each subsidiary of 
the Company.

Notes to the Annual Financial Statements 

(d) Amendments to Standards 

The Company has adopted the following amendments to IFRS: 

  Amendments to International Accounting Standard (IAS) 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent 
Assets (effective January 1, 2022) clarify that the ‘costs of fulfilling a contract’ when assessing whether a 
contract is onerous comprise both the incremental costs and an allocation of other costs that relate directly to 
fulfilling the contract. The amendments apply to contracts existing at the date when the amendments are first 
applied. On adoption of this amendment, there was no impact to the Company’s Annual Financial Statements.  

 (e) Future Accounting Pronouncements 

The Company has not applied the following new and amendments to standards that have been issued but are not 
yet effective: 

 

IFRS 17, Insurance Contracts (effective January 1, 2023) replaces IFRS 4, Insurance Contracts, and 
establishes the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of insurance contracts. 
Management expects that adoption of this standard will not impact the Company’s financial statements. 

  Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements (effective January 1, 2023) require entities to 

disclose their material accounting policy information rather than significant accounting policy information. The 
amendments provide guidance on how an entity can identify material accounting policy information and clarify 
that information may be material because of its nature, even if the related amounts are immaterial. Management 
reviewed the Company’s accounting policies and believes no changes will be required to the disclosure of 
accounting policy information for the December 31, 2023 annual financial statements. 

  Amendments to IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (effective January 1, 
2023) introduce a definition of ‘accounting estimates’ and clarify the difference between changes in accounting 
policies and changes in accounting estimates. These amendments will impact changes in accounting policies 
and changes in accounting estimates made after these amendments are adopted by the Company. 

  Amendments to IAS 12, Income Taxes (effective January 1, 2023) clarify how companies should account for 

deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction, such as leases and 
decommissioning obligations. The amendments narrow the scope of the initial recognition exemption so that it 
does not apply to transactions that give rise to equal and offsetting temporary differences. As a result, 
companies will need to recognize a deferred tax asset and a deferred tax liability for temporary differences 
arising on initial recognition of the related asset and liability. Management reviewed its global tax provision and 
concluded that there were no deferred taxes being netted or not recognized from a single tax treatment and has 
not applied the initial recognition exemption. Management expects no changes will be required to the 
Company’s tax provision as a result of these amendments. 

  Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements (effective January 1, 2024): 

o  Clarify the classification of liabilities as current or non-current based on contractual rights that are in 

existence at the end of the reporting period and is unaffected by expectations about whether an entity will 
exercise its right to defer or accelerate settlement. A liability not due over the next twelve months is 
classified as non-current even if management intends or expects to settle the liability within twelve months. 
The amendments also introduce a definition of ‘settlement’ to make clear that settlement refers to the 
transfer of cash, equity instruments, other assets, or services to the counterparty. Management is currently 
assessing the impact of these amendments. 

o  Clarify that only covenants with which an entity must comply on or before the reporting date will affect a 
liability’s classification as current or non-current. In addition, the amendments require a company to 
disclose information about these covenants in the notes to the financial statements. Management is 
currently assessing the impact of these amendments. 

  Amendments to IFRS 16, Leases (effective January 1, 2024) explain how an entity accounts for a sale and 

leaseback after the transaction date. The amendments clarify how a seller-lessee should subsequently measure 
lease liabilities and when it is appropriate to record a gain or loss on these transactions. The amendments apply 
to all sale and leaseback transactions entered since the effective date of IFRS 16 (January 1, 2019) and the 
effective date of this amendment. These amendments are not expected to have any impact on the Company’s 
financial statements at this time because from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2022 the Company did not 
enter into any sale and leaseback transactions. However, management will consider these amendments in the 
accounting treatment of future sale and leaseback transactions.

3. SEGMENTED INFORMATION 

The Company has operated primarily in one principal business during the year, that being the selling, servicing, and 
renting of heavy equipment, engines, and related products. 

The reportable segments, which are the same as the Company’s operating segments, are as follows: 

  Canadian operations: dealership territories in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, the Yukon territory, the 

Northwest Territories, and a portion of Nunavut and mobile on-site refuelling services in most of the provinces of 
Canada, as well as in Texas, US. 

  South American operations: Chile, Argentina, and Bolivia.   
  UK & Ireland operations: England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland. 
  Other: corporate head office. 

Information reported to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) for the purposes of resource allocation and 
assessment of segment performance primarily focuses on the territories in which the Company operates. The 
CODM considers earnings before finance costs and income taxes as the primary measure of segment profit and 
loss. In the prior year, earnings before finance costs, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was 
considered the primary measure. The Company considers net revenue (calculated as total revenue less cost of fuel) 
as more representative than total revenue in assessing business performance as the cost of fuel is not in the 
Company’s control and is fully passed through to the customer.  

The Company’s revenue, results, and other information by reportable segment were as follows:

4. REVENUE 

Revenue Recognition 

Revenue is recognized when or as the Company transfers control of goods or services to a customer at the amount 
to which the Company expects to be entitled.  

Revenue is recognized when control of the goods is transferred to the customer at a point-in-time for the following 
revenue streams: 

  Revenue from sales of new and used equipment (except for complex power and energy systems) is presented 
as new equipment revenue and used equipment revenue, respectively. Revenue is recognized when control 
passes to the customer, which is generally at the time of shipment of the equipment to the customer or when 
commissioning of equipment is complete. Revenue is recorded at the estimated amount of consideration to 
which the Company expects to be entitled, including any non-cash consideration when used equipment is 
accepted for trade-in value.  

  Revenue from sales of parts inventory is presented as product support revenue and recognized when control of 
the part is transferred to the customer, which is generally upon shipment to the customer or when the customer 
collects their purchase from one of the Company’s locations. Revenue from the sales of parts inventory is 
initially recorded at the estimated amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. The 
Company may offer rebates on certain parts and discounts for large volume parts purchases. If applicable, 
management recognizes an obligation for items such as refunds, incentives, and discounts with a corresponding 
reduction in product support revenue. The value of the obligation is estimated based on the terms of the 
contract, customary business practices, and historical experience.  

  Revenue from sales of mobile refuelling services is presented as fuel and other revenue and recognized upon 
delivery to the customer. Revenue is recorded at the estimated amount of consideration to which the Company 
expects to be entitled. 

Revenue is recognized in a manner that best reflects the Company’s performance over-time for the following 
revenue streams: 

  Revenue from sales of complex power and energy systems involving the design, installation, and assembly of 

power and energy systems is presented as new equipment revenue and estimated as the amount of 
consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. Revenue is recognized on a percentage of 
completion basis proportionate to the work that has been completed and is based on associated costs incurred.  

  Revenue from sales of parts and labour when servicing equipment both under and not under a long-term 

contract is presented as product support revenue. For servicing of equipment, revenue is recognized as the 
service work is performed based on parts list price and standard billing labour rates. Product support is also 
offered to customers in the form of long-term contracts. For these contracts, revenue is recognized on a basis 
proportionate to the service work that has been performed based on associated costs incurred. For certain long-
term product support contracts where flat-rate labour or a monthly subscription service is provided, the 
Company recognizes revenue for labour on a straight-line basis. Revenue from product support under long-term 
contracts is estimated based on the number and types of services expected to be performed using the pricing 
terms set out in the contract.  

  Revenue from equipment rentals and operating leases where the Company acts as lessor is presented as 

equipment rental revenue and in accordance with the terms of the relevant agreement with the customer, either 
recognized evenly over the term of that agreement or on a usage basis such as the number of hours that the 
equipment is used. Equipment rental includes revenue from rental agreements with customers which contain an 
option to purchase the equipment at the end of the rental term (referred to as ‘Rental Equipment with Purchase 
Options’). When the customer exercises its option to purchase the equipment, the sale is presented as new 
equipment revenue or used equipment revenue, as appropriate. 

Revenue from customers may be recognized in advance of billing the customer. The Company recognizes unbilled 
receivables for sales of new equipment (including complex power and energy systems) and product support revenue 
(including sales of parts and labour when servicing equipment both under and not under long-term contracts) when 
revenue recognition criteria are met, and the Company has the right to receive amounts from customers but invoices 
have not yet been issued. Similarly, the Company recognizes deferred revenue when cash has been collected from 
customers but control of the goods or services has not yet been transferred. Deferred revenue is recorded when 
cash is received prior to the transfer of control related to servicing equipment, complex power and energy systems, 
and extended warranty. Deferred revenue is recorded when deposits are received from customers and in respect of 
sales of new equipment where the Company has issued a repurchase guarantee and management has determined 
that it has not transferred control of the equipment.

2022 Annual Results 
Notes to the Annual Financial Statements 

Areas of Estimation Uncertainty 

Long-Term Product Support Contracts and Sales of Complex Power and Energy Systems  

Where the outcome of performance obligations for long-term product support contracts and sales of complex power 
and energy systems can be estimated reliably, revenue is recognized. Revenue is measured primarily based on the 
proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to-date relative to the estimated total contract costs. 
Variations in contract work, claims, and incentive payments are included to the extent that they have been agreed 
with the customer. Where the outcome of performance obligations cannot be reliably measured, contract revenue is 
recognized in the current period to the extent that costs have been incurred until such time that the outcome of the 
performance obligations can be reasonably measured. Significant assumptions are required to estimate total 
contract costs, which are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. When it is probable that 
total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is immediately recognized in the 
consolidated statement of net income.  

Areas of Significant Judgment 

Transfer of Control to the Customer 

The Company is required to make judgments when determining when control is transferred to the customer. For the 
sale of new and used equipment and parts inventory, generally, control passes to the customer at the time of 
shipment of the equipment or parts to the customer or when commissioning of equipment is complete. In certain 
circumstances, management must determine if control transfers before or after the goods are shipped to the 
customer (for example, bill-and-hold arrangements). In making this determination, management considers whether 
the Company has transferred significant risks and rewards related to the product, legal title has transferred, the 
Company has the ability to direct or sell the product to another customer, the product is ready for physical transfer, 
or the product is in a condition of being capable of operating in the manner intended. 

Repurchase Commitments 

In certain circumstances, the Company enters into contracts with rights of return, at the customer’s discretion, for the 
repurchase of equipment sold to customers for an amount which is generally based on a discount from the 
estimated future fair value of that equipment. At the inception of the contract, the Company is required to make 
judgments as to whether the customer has a significant economic incentive to exercise its right of return. When no 
such incentive is expected, revenue is recognized upon the sale of equipment but when a significant incentive is 
expected, revenue is recognized over the term of the repurchase commitment. Significant assumptions are made in 
estimating residual values and are assessed based on experience and taking into account expected future market 
conditions and projected disposal values.  

Identifying Performance Obligations 

The Company is required to make judgments when identifying the performance obligations in contracts with 
customers. For sales of parts and labour when servicing equipment under a long-term contract that are sold bundled 
together with the sale of equipment to a customer, management typically concludes that these are two separate 
performance obligations as each of the promises to transfer equipment and provide services is capable of being 
distinct and separately identifiable.

The majority of the Company’s contract liabilities relate to cash collected for goods or services where control will be 
transferred to the customer within one year. Cash is typically collected up front for sales of extended warranties and 
new equipment under repurchase guarantees; the transfer of control over these services and goods can extend 
beyond one year.

8. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 

Finning and its subsidiaries are exposed to market, credit, liquidity, and other risks in the normal course of business 
activities. The Company’s Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) process is designed to ensure that these risks are 
identified, managed, and reported. The ERM framework assists the Company in managing risks and business 
activities to mitigate these risks across the organization in order to achieve the Company’s strategic objectives.  

The Company maintains a strong risk management culture to protect and enhance shareholder value. On a 
quarterly basis, Board level committees review the Company’s business risk assessment and the management of 
key business risks, any changes to key risks and exposures, and the steps taken to monitor and control such 
exposures, and report their review to the Board. The Board reviews all material risks on an annual basis. The Board 
also reviews the adequacy of disclosures of key risks in the Company’s Annual Information Form, Management’s 
Discussion and Analysis, and Annual Financial Statements on a quarterly and annual basis.  

This note presents information about the Company’s exposure to credit, liquidity, and market risks and the 
Company’s objectives, policies, and processes for managing these risks.

receivable are classified as amortized cost and measured using the effective interest method. Accounts 
receivable comprises amounts due from customers for goods or services transferred in the ordinary course of 
business and non-trade accounts. Unbilled receivables relate to the Company’s right to consideration for goods or 
services transferred to a customer but not yet billed as at the reporting date. Notes receivable represents 
amounts due from customers relating to the financing of equipment and parts and services sold.  

Financial assets classified as amortized cost are assessed for impairment at the end of each reporting period and 
a loss allowance is measured by estimating the lifetime expected credit losses. Certain categories of financial 
assets, such as accounts receivable, that are considered not to be impaired individually are also assessed for 
impairment on a collective basis. Estimates of expected credit losses take into account the Company’s past 
experience of collecting payments, the amount of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit 
period, as well as observable changes in and forecasts of future economic conditions that correlate with default 
on receivables. The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced through the use of an allowance account. 
Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in selling, general, and administrative 
expenses in the consolidated statement of net income. At the point when the Company is satisfied that no 
recovery of the amount owing is possible, the amount is considered not recoverable and the financial asset is 
impaired.

Areas of Estimation Uncertainty 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 

The Company records allowance for doubtful accounts that represents management’s best estimate of potential 
losses in respect of accounts receivable and unbilled receivables. The main components of these allowances are 
a specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures, and a collective loss component 
established for groups of similar assets in respect of losses that are expected to occur.  

The collective loss allowance is estimated based on historical data of payment statistics for similar financial 
assets, adjusted for current and forecasted future economic conditions.  

Expected credit losses related to the current economic environment have been incorporated in management’s 
estimate of its allowance for doubtful accounts. No assurance can be given that this will be sufficient or that the 
Company will not suffer material credit losses that will adversely affect its results. The Company allocates each 
exposure to a credit risk grade based on data that is determined to be predictive of the risk of loss (including but 
not limited to aging of receivable balances, external credit ratings, publicly available information about customers, 
expectation of customer bankruptcies, and the impact of inflation and interest rate increases on customers ability 
to pay) and applying experienced credit judgment. Exposures within each credit risk grade are segmented by 
geographic region, industry classification, and risk categorization. An expected credit loss rate is calculated for 
each segment. 

Credit Risk 

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to 
meet its contractual obligations. This risk arises principally in respect of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, 
receivables from customers, receivables from suppliers, and derivative assets. 

The Company’s material exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:

Credit risk associated with cash and cash equivalents is managed by ensuring that these financial assets are held 
with major financial institutions with strong investment grade ratings and by monitoring the exposures with any single 
institution. An ongoing review is performed to evaluate the changes in the credit rating of counterparties. 

Receivables from Customers 

The Company has a large, diversified customer base, and is not dependent on any single customer or group of 
customers. Credit risk associated with accounts receivable and unbilled receivables is minimized because of the 
diversification of the Company’s operations as well as its large customer base and its geographical dispersion. 

The Company limits its exposure to credit risk from accounts receivable by establishing a maximum payment period 
for customers. The Company also has policies in place to manage credit risk, including maintaining credit limits for 
customers taking into account factors such as projected purchase values, credit worthiness of the customer, and 
payment performance. 

Receivables from Suppliers 

The Company is exposed to risk on supplier claims receivable, primarily from Caterpillar, with whom Finning has 
had an ongoing relationship since 1933.

(b) Financial Liabilities and Liquidity Risk   

Accounting Policy 

Classification and measurement  

Accounts payable and accruals, short-term and long-term debt are classified as amortized cost and are measured 
using the effective interest method.  

Liquidity Risk 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The 
Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquid financial 
resources to fund its operations and meet its commitments and obligations. The Company maintains bilateral and 
syndicated credit facilities, continuously monitors actual and forecast cash flows, and manages maturity profiles of 
financial liabilities.  

The Company will require capital to finance future growth and to refinance outstanding debt obligations as they 
come due for repayment. If the cash generated from the Company’s operations is not sufficient to fund future capital 
and debt repayment requirements, the Company will require additional debt or equity financing. The Company’s 
ability to access capital markets for additional debt or equity on terms that are acceptable will be dependent upon 
prevailing market conditions, as well as the Company’s financial condition. Further, Finning’s ability to increase the 
level of debt financing may be limited by financial covenants or credit rating objectives. 

At December 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $2.5 billion (2021: $2.1 billion) of unsecured committed and 
uncommitted credit facilities. Included in this amount is a committed sustainability-linked revolving credit facility 
totaling $1.3 billion with various Canadian and global financial institutions which is set to mature in September 2026. 
Borrowings under this facility are available in multiple currencies and at various floating rates of interest. In October 
2022, the Company obtained an additional $300 million committed revolving credit facility that has a one-year term 
and can be used for general corporate purposes. 

At December 31, 2022, $551 million was available collectively under the $1.3 billion committed sustainability-linked 
revolving credit facility and $300 million committed revolving credit facility. At December 31, 2021, $930 million was 
available under the $1.3 billion committed sustainability-linked revolving credit facility.  

The Company’s principal source of short-term funding is the committed sustainability-linked revolving credit facility. 
The Company also maintains a maximum authorized commercial paper program of $600 million, backstopped by 
credit available under the $1.3 billion committed sustainability-linked revolving credit facility. There was no 
commercial paper outstanding at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. In addition, the Company maintains 
other bank credit facilities, including overdrafts and letters of credit, to support its subsidiary operations.  

Covenants 

The Company is subject to certain covenants under its committed revolving credit facilities. At December 31, 2022 
and 2021, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

(c) Derivative Financial Instruments, Hedging, and Market Risk 

Accounting Policy 
Derivative Financial Instruments 

Derivative financial instruments are classified as fair value through profit or loss and are recorded on the 
consolidated statement of financial position at fair value. Refer to Cash Flow Hedges and Net Investment Hedges 
sections below for the accounting treatment for derivative financial instruments which are designated as hedging 
instruments. Fair value changes of derivative financial instruments not designated as hedging instruments are 
recorded in the consolidated statement of net income as selling, general, and administrative expenses or finance 
costs, as appropriate. 

Hedges 

The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments and foreign currency debt in order to manage its foreign 
currency and interest rate exposures. The Company uses derivative financial instruments only in connection with 
managing related risk positions and does not use them for trading or speculative purposes.    

The Company determines whether or not to formally designate, for accounting purposes, eligible hedging 
relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items. This process includes linking derivatives to specific 
risks from assets or liabilities on the statement of financial position, specific firm commitments, or forecasted 
transactions. For hedges designated as such for accounting purposes, at inception, the Company documents the 
hedging relationship, its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge, and how the 
Company will assess whether the Company meets the hedge effectiveness requirements. When derivative 
instruments have been designated as a hedge and are highly effective in offsetting the identified hedged risk, 
hedge accounting is applied to the derivative instruments. The ineffective portion of hedging gains and losses of 
these hedges is reported in the consolidated statement of net income.  

Cash Flow Hedges 

The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts and, at times, may use options to hedge the currency risk 
associated with certain foreign denominated sales, purchase commitments, cash balances, payables, and 
receivables. The Company may also use other derivative instruments such as swaps, rate locks, and options to 
hedge its interest rate exposure.  

The effective portion of hedging gains and losses associated with these cash flow hedges is recorded, net of tax, 
in other comprehensive income and recognized in earnings in the same period as the hedged item. For cash flow 
hedges of non-financial items, these gains and losses are included in the initial carrying cost of the hedged asset 
or hedged liability. The gain or loss relating to any ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the 
consolidated statement of net income.  

When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, 
any accumulated gain or loss recorded in other comprehensive income at that time remains in accumulated other 
comprehensive income until the originally hedged transaction affects net income. When a forecasted transaction 
is no longer expected to occur, the accumulated gain or loss that was reported in other comprehensive income is 
immediately recorded in the consolidated statement of net income. 

Net Investment Hedges 

The Company uses foreign currency debt to hedge foreign currency gains and losses on its long-term net 
investments in foreign operations. The effective portion of the gain or loss of such instruments associated with the 
hedged risk is recorded in other comprehensive income. These gains or losses are recognized in the 
consolidated statement of net income upon the disposal of a foreign operation, a disposal that involves loss of 
control of a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, loss of joint control over a jointly controlled entity that 
includes a foreign operation, or loss of significant influence over an associate that includes a foreign operation. 

Areas of Estimation Uncertainty 

Fair Value 

The fair value of derivative financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (e.g. over-the-counter 
derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques. The Company uses its judgment to select a valuation 
method and makes assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting 
period.  

26 

 
 
 
 
Finning International Inc. 
2022 Annual Results 
Notes to the Annual Financial Statements 

Market risk is the risk that changes in the market, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates, will affect the 
Company’s net income or the fair value of its financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to 
manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters. 

Foreign Exchange Risk 

The Company is geographically diversified, with significant investments in several different countries. The Company 
transacts business in multiple currencies, the most significant of which are the CAD, USD, GBP, Chilean Peso 
(CLP), and ARS.  

As a result, the Company has foreign currency exposure with respect to items denominated in foreign currencies. 
The main types of foreign exchange risk of the Company can be categorized as follows: 

Translation Exposure 

The most significant foreign exchange impact on the Company’s net income and other comprehensive income is the 
translation of foreign currency-based earnings and net assets or liabilities into CAD, which is the Company’s 
presentation currency. The Company’s South American and UK & Ireland operations have functional currencies 
other than CAD and, as a result, exchange rate movements between the USD/CAD and GBP/CAD will impact the 
consolidated results of the South American and UK & Ireland operations in CAD terms. The Company does not 
hedge its exposure to foreign exchange risk with regard to foreign currency earnings. 

Assets and liabilities of the Company’s South American and UK & Ireland operations are translated into CAD using 
the exchange rates in effect at the consolidated statement of financial position dates. Any translation gains and 
losses are recorded as foreign currency translation adjustments in other comprehensive income. To the extent 
practical, it is the Company’s objective to manage this exposure by hedging a portion of its foreign investments with 
loans denominated in foreign currencies. 

The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt that was designated as net investment hedging instruments 
was $588 million (2021: $753 million).  

Transaction Exposure 

Many of the Company’s operations purchase, sell, rent, and lease assets as well as incur costs in currencies other 
than their functional currency. This mismatch of currencies creates transactional exposure, which may affect the 
Company’s profitability as exchange rates fluctuate. For example, the Company’s Canadian operating results are 
exposed to volatility in USD/CAD rates between the timing of equipment and parts purchases that are made in USD 
and the ultimate sale to customers made in CAD. A portion of this exposure is hedged through the use of forward 
exchange contracts as well as managed through pricing practices. The Company applies hedge accounting to 
hedges of certain inventory purchases in its Canadian and UK & Ireland operations. During the year ended 
December 31, 2022 the Company entered into forward exchange contracts for inventory purchases of USD $633 
million (2021: USD $417 million).  

The results of the Company’s operations are impacted by the translation of foreign-denominated transactions: the 
results of the Canadian operations are impacted by USD based revenue and costs, and the results of the South 
American operations are impacted by CLP and ARS based revenues and costs.  

The Company is also exposed to foreign currency risks related to the future cash flows on its foreign-denominated 
financial assets and financial liabilities and foreign-denominated net asset or net liability positions on its consolidated 
statement of financial position. The Company enters into forward exchange contracts to manage some mismatches 
in foreign currency cash flows but does not fully hedge balance sheet exposure so this may result in unrealized 
foreign exchange gains or losses until the financial assets and financial liabilities are settled.

Sensitivity Analysis to Foreign Exchange Risk 

The translation of financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies are impacted by changes in foreign 
exchange rates. A weakening of the CAD against the following currencies would increase (decrease) pre-tax income 
and other comprehensive income by the amounts shown below. This analysis uses estimated forecast foreign 
exchange rates for the upcoming year and assumes that all other variables, in particular volumes, relative pricing, 
interest rates, and hedging activities are unchanged.

2022 Annual Results 
Notes to the Annual Financial Statements 

Interest Rate Risk 

Changes in market interest rates can cause fluctuations in the fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments. 

The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates on its interest-bearing financial assets. The Company’s 
floating-rate financial assets comprise cash and cash equivalents. Due to the short-term nature of cash and cash 
equivalents, the impact of fluctuations in fair value is limited but interest income earned can be impacted. Notes 
receivable bear interest at a fixed rate thus their fair value will fluctuate prior to maturity but, absent monetization, 
future cash flows do not change.  

The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates on its interest-bearing financial liabilities, primarily from short-
term and long-term debt and lease liabilities. The Company’s debt portfolio comprises both fixed and floating rate 
debt instruments, with terms to maturity ranging up to 2042. The Company’s floating rate debt is short term in nature 
and as a result, the Company is exposed to limited fluctuations in changes to fair value, but finance expense and 
cash flows will increase or decrease as interest rates change.  

The fair value of the Company’s fixed rate debt obligations fluctuates with changes in interest rates, but absent early 
settlement, related cash flows do not change. The Company is exposed to changes in future interest rates upon 
refinancing of any debt prior to or at maturity.  

The Company manages its interest rate risk by balancing its portfolio with fixed and floating rate debt, as well as 
managing the term to maturity of its debt portfolio.  

Profile 

At the reporting date the interest rate profile of the Company’s interest-bearing financial instruments was as follows: 

  December 31 
  ($ millions)  
  Fixed rate instruments 
  Financial assets 
  Financial liabilities 

  Variable rate instruments

(374) 

Fair Value Sensitivity Analysis for Fixed Rate Instruments 

The Company does not account for any fixed rate financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through the 
consolidated statement of net income, and the Company does not currently have any derivatives designated as 
hedging instruments under a fair value hedge accounting model, or any derivative interest rate instruments for which 
fair value changes are recognized in other comprehensive income. Therefore, a change in interest rates at the 
reporting date would not affect net income or other comprehensive income. 

Pre-tax Income Sensitivity Analysis for Variable Rate Instruments 

The Company’s variable rate instruments are in a net liability position; therefore, an increase of 1.0% in interest 
rates for a full year relative to the interest rates at the reporting date would have decreased income by $8 million 
with a 1.0% decrease having the opposite effect. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign 
currency exchange rates, remain constant.

2022 Annual Results 
Notes to the Annual Financial Statements 

(d) Fair Values  

Financial instruments measured at fair value are grouped into three levels based on the degree to which fair value is 
observable: 

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities 
Level 2 – significant observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs 

The Company’s only financial instruments measured at fair value are derivative financial instruments. All of the 
derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value using Level 2 inputs. The Company did not move any 
instruments between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.  

Derivative Financial Instruments (Level 2) 

The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is determined by discounting contracted future cash flows using 
a discount rate derived from interest rate curves and observed forward prices for comparable assets and liabilities.  

Where material, fair values are adjusted for credit risk based on observed credit default spreads or market yield 
spreads for counterparties for financial assets and based on the Company’s credit risk for financial liabilities. The 
Company’s credit risk is derived from yield spreads on the Company’s market quoted debt. 

Long-Term Debt (Level 2) 

The carrying value and fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was as follows:  

  December 31 
  ($ millions) 
  Long-term debt 

Carrying value

2022 
Fair value 
899   

Carrying value 
1,111   

2021 
Fair value 
1,202 

The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is based on the present value of future cash flows required to settle 
the debt which is derived from the remaining interest payments. The present value of future cash flows is discounted 
using the yield to maturity rate as at the measurement date. This technique utilizes a combination of quoted prices 
and market observable inputs. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Accounts Receivable, Unbilled Receivables, Supplier Claims Receivable, Notes 
Receivable, Short-Term Investments, Short-Term Debt, and Accounts Payable 

The recorded values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, supplier claims 
receivable, notes receivable, short-term investments, short-term debt, and accounts payable approximate their fair 
values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

9. MANAGEMENT OF CAPITAL  

The Company’s objective when managing capital is to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the cost 
of capital at an acceptable risk. The Company includes cash and cash equivalents, short-term debt and long-term 
debt, and shareholders’ equity in the definition of capital.  

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of actual and forecasted cash flows, 
actual and anticipated capital expenditures and investments, changes in economic conditions and the risk 
characteristics of its underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may 
purchase common shares for cancellation pursuant to normal course issuer bids, issue new common shares, issue 
new debt, repay debt, issue new debt to replace existing debt with different characteristics, or adjust the amount of 
dividends paid to shareholders. In May 2022, the Company renewed its normal course issuer bid (NCIB) which 
enables the Company to purchase its common shares for cancellation.  

In connection with the NCIB, the Company implemented an automatic share purchase plan (ASPP) with a 
designated broker to enable share repurchases for cancellation during selected blackout periods. Refer to Note 10 
for details of the share repurchases made under the NCIB and ASPP during 2022. 

The Company monitors net debt to Adjusted EBITDA to assess operating leverage and ability to repay debt. This 
ratio approximates the length of time, in years, that it would take the Company to repay its debt, with net debt and 
Adjusted EBITDA held constant.

Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months. Net 
debt is calculated as short-term and long-term debt, net of cash. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding 
depreciation and amortization to earnings before finance costs and income taxes, excluding items that are not 
considered to be indicative of operational and financial trends, either by nature or amount, to provide a better overall 
understanding of the Company’s underlying business performance.

10. SHARE CAPITAL 

Accounting Policy 

Common shares repurchased by the Company are recognized as a reduction in share capital and contributed 
surplus (and retained earnings once contributed surplus is fully drawn down) on the date of repurchase. A liability 
is recognized for any committed repurchases that have not yet settled at a reporting period end. The cash 
consideration paid to repurchase common shares is presented as a financing activity in the statement of cash 
flow. The number of repurchased common shares is disclosed below and the amount deducted from equity is 
disclosed in the statement of changes in equity. 

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of preferred shares without par value, of which 4.4 million 
are designated as cumulative redeemable convertible preferred shares. The Company had no preferred shares 
outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.  

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares. All issued common shares have no 
par value and are fully paid. 

The Company's dealership agreements with subsidiaries of Caterpillar are fundamental to its business and a change 
in control of Finning may result in Caterpillar exercising its right to terminate those dealership agreements. 

The change in the number of common shares in share capital were as follows: 

  Years ended December 31

(4,779,340) 
157,808,102 

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company repurchased 6,941,039 common shares 
for cancellation for $219 million, at an average cost of $31.51 per share, through the Company’s NCIB. In 
connection with the ASPP, an estimated obligation of $21 million was recorded at December 31, 2022 for the 
repurchase of common shares from January 1, 2023 to February 7, 2023 under this ASPP. In 2021, 4,779,340 
common shares were repurchased for cancellation for $157 million, at an average cost of $32.81 per share. Refer to 
Note 9 for a description of the Company’s NCIB and ASPP.

11. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS 

Accounting Policy 

The Company has share option plans and other share-based compensation plans for directors and certain eligible 
employees and members of the Board.  

Equity-settled share-based payments comprise share options which are measured at fair value using the Black-
Scholes option pricing model. The fair value is determined on the grant date of the share option and recorded over 
the vesting period in selling, general, and administrative expense, based on the Company’s estimate of options that 
will vest, with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus. When share options are exercised, the proceeds 
received by the Company, together with any related amount recorded in contributed surplus, are credited to share 
capital.  

Cash-settled share-based payments comprise deferred share units, Performance Share Units (PSUs), and restricted 
share units. Total Shareholder Return Performance Share Units (TSR PSUs) are measured at fair value using the 
Monte Carlo model and all other cash-settled share-based awards are measured at fair value using the Company’s 
share price on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX:FTT). Cash settled share-based compensation plans are 
recognized as a liability. Compensation expense which arises from vesting and fluctuations in the fair value of the 
Company’s cash settled share-based compensation plans is recognized in selling, general, and administrative 
expense in the consolidated statement of income with the corresponding liabilities recorded within accounts payable 
and accruals (current) and long-term other liabilities (non-current) on the consolidated statement of financial 
position.  

Areas of Estimation Uncertainty 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of share options. Inputs to the 
model are subject to various estimates relating to share price volatility, interest rates, dividend yields and expected 
life of the units issued. Inputs are subject to market factors as well as internal estimates. The Company considers 
historical trends together with any new information to determine the best estimates of inputs to the model at the date 
of grant. Separate from the fair value calculation, the Company is required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate of 
equity-settled share-based payments in estimating how many units will vest. 

The Company also estimates the projected outcome of performance conditions for PSUs, including the relative 
ranking of the Company’s total shareholder return compared with a specified peer group using a Monte Carlo 
simulation option-pricing model and forecasting the Company’s return on invested capital (ROIC). 

Share Options 
The Company has one share option plan (Stock Option Plan) for senior executives and management of the 
Company. Options granted under the Stock Option Plan vest over a three-year period and are exercisable over a 
seven-year period. The exercise price of each option is based on the weighted average trading price of the common 
shares of the Company on the date prior to the grant. Under the Stock Option Plan, the Company may issue up to 
approximately 7.5 million common shares pursuant to the exercise of share options. At December 31, 2022, 
approximately 3 million (2021: approximately 3 million) common shares remained eligible to be issued in connection 
with future grants.  

Under the Stock Option Plan, the Company only grants and prices share options when all material information has 
been disclosed to the market. The difference between options exercised and common shares issued are withheld 
and returned to the option pool for future issues or grants. The exercises generally utilize the cashless method, 
whereby the actual number of common shares issued on exercise is based on the premium between the fair value 
of common shares at the time of exercise and the grant value, and the equivalent value of the number of share 
options up to the grant value is withheld. Share options exercised in 2022 comprised both cash and cashless 
exercises.

Other Share-Based Payment Plans 

The Company has other share-based payment plans in the form of deferred share units, performance share units, 
and restricted share units that use notional common share units.  

Finning International Inc. 
2022 Annual Results 
Notes to the Annual Financial Statements 

Details of the plans are as follows:  

Directors 

Directors’ Deferred Share Unit (DDSU) Plan A  

Under the DDSU Plan A, non-employee Directors of the Company may be awarded deferred share units and may 
also elect to have all or a portion of their cash compensation payable for service as a Director issued in the form of 
deferred share units. These units are fully vested upon issuance. These units accumulate notional dividends in the 
form of additional units based on the dividends paid on the Company’s common shares.  

Units are redeemable for cash or common shares of the Company or a combination of cash and shares (as 
requested by the holder) only following cessation of service on the Board and must be redeemed by December 31st 
of the year following the year in which the cessation occurred. Each deferred share unit is redeemable for one 
common share or if redeemed for cash, the value is determined using the redemption-date market value of the 
Company’s common shares. 

Non-employee Directors of the Company were granted a total of 58,445 deferred share units in 2022 (2021: 50,815), 
which were expensed over the calendar year as the units were issued. An additional 27,969 deferred share units 
(2021: 24,418) were issued in lieu of cash compensation payable for service as a Director. A further 18,322 deferred 
share units (2021: 15,244) were granted to Directors during 2022 as notional dividends.   

Executive 

Executive Deferred Share Unit (Exec DSU) Plan  

Under the Exec DSU Plan, executives of the Company may elect to have all or a portion of their annual bonus 
issued in the form of deferred share units and may be awarded deferred share units as approved by the Board. The 
Exec DSU Plan utilizes notional units that become fully vested at the time of issuance or in accordance with terms 
set at the time of grant, if any. Vested deferred share units are redeemable for cash before December 15th of the 
year following the year in which cessation of employment with the Company occurred. Only vested units accumulate 
notional dividends in the form of additional deferred share units based on the dividends paid on the Company’s 
common shares. 

Executives were granted a total of 471 deferred share units in 2022 (2021: 3,585) as remuneration of their annual 
bonus payment and 1,378 deferred share units (2021: 1,427) were issued as notional dividends under the Exec 
DSU Plan. 

Deferred Share Unit (DSU-B) Plan B for Executives 

Under the DSU-B Plan, executives of the Company may be awarded deferred share units as approved by the 
Board. The DSU-B Plan utilizes notional units that become vested in accordance with terms set at the time of grant. 
Vested deferred share units are redeemable for cash or for common shares of the Company before December 31st 
of the year following the year in which cessation of employment with the Company occurred. Deferred share units 
expire if they have not vested within five years from the grant-date. Only vested units accumulate notional dividends 
in the form of additional deferred share units based on the dividends paid on the Company’s common shares.  

During 2022, 966 deferred share units (2021: 1,017) were granted to executives as notional dividends under the 
DSU-B Plan. 

PSU Plan  

Under the PSU Plan, certain employees of the Company may be awarded performance share units as approved by 
the Board. This plan utilizes notional units that vest upon achieving future specified performance levels. All units 
accumulate notional dividends over the life of the grants in the form of additional performance share units based on 
the dividends paid on the Company’s common shares. All units, including notional dividends, are redeemed upon 
vesting. All PSUs granted in 2022 and 2021 were divided equally into two categories. Half of the awards are based 
on the extent to which the Company’s return on invested capital achieves or exceeds the specified performance 
levels in each year of a three-year performance period (ROIC PSUs). The other half of the awards is based on the 
performance of the Company’s total shareholder return over the three-year period relative to the performance of the 
total shareholder return of companies that were in the S&P/TSX Capped Industrials Index for the performance 
period.  

35 

 
Finning International Inc. 
2022 Annual Results 
Notes to the Annual Financial Statements 

Vested performance share units are redeemable in cash. The per unit payout is based on the volume-weighted 
average trading price of the Company’s common shares on the five days prior to the end of the performance period. 
During the year ended December 31, 2022, a total of 346,723 performance share units were granted to certain 
employees, based on 100% vesting (2021: 320,416), and 69,025 notional units (2021: 87,619) were issuable based 
on 100% vesting as payment for dividends upon vesting.  

Compensation expense for the PSU Plan is recorded over the three-year performance period. The amount of 
compensation expense is adjusted over the three-year performance period to reflect the fair value of the PSUs and 
the number of PSUs anticipated to vest. 

2022 Grant 

The specified levels and respective vesting percentages for the 2022 grant were as follows:  

TSR PSUs 

  1/3 of the grant is based on the Company’s total shareholder return for year 1 of the grant (2022);

Restricted Share Unit (RSU) Plan 

Under the RSU Plan, certain employees of the Company may be awarded restricted share units as approved by the 
Board. This plan utilizes notional units that vest in accordance with terms set at the time of grant. All units 
accumulate notional dividends over the life of the grants in the form of additional restricted share units based on the 
dividends paid on the Company’s common shares. 

Restricted share units that have vested are redeemable in cash and the fair value payout per unit is based on the 
volume-weighted average trading price of the Company’s common shares on the five days prior to the end of the 
vesting period. During the year ended December 31, 2022, a total of 259,779 restricted share units were granted to 
certain employees (2021: 209,599) and 24,518 notional units (2021: 21,642) are issuable as payment for dividends 
upon vesting.

Notes to the Annual Financial Statements 

The fair value of the DSUs, ROIC PSUs, and RSUs outstanding at December 31, 2022 has been estimated using 
the period-end closing TSX: FTT share price of $33.66 (December 31, 2021: $31.88). 

The impact of the share-based payment plans on the Company’s financial statements was as follows:

12. INVENTORY 

Accounting Policy 

Inventory is made up of assets held for sale in the ordinary course of business, in the process of production for 
sale, or in the form of materials or supplies to be consumed in the production process or in the rendering of 
services. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on a specific item 
basis for on-hand equipment and internal service work in progress, and on a weighted average cost basis for 
parts and supplies. The cost of inventory includes all costs of purchase, conversion costs, other costs incurred in 
bringing inventory to their existing location and condition, and an appropriate share of overhead costs based on 
normal operating capacity. 

Areas of Estimation Uncertainty  

The Company makes estimates of the provision required to reflect net realizable value of slow-moving and 
obsolete inventory. These estimates are determined on the basis of age, redundancy, and stock levels. For 
equipment inventory, estimates are determined on a specific item basis. Management reviewed equipment 
values with equipment specialists taking into account current market demand, market supply of equipment, 
market prices, and the age and condition of equipment. Management reviewed parts inventory estimates based 
on market demand, parts turns, discontinued items, ability to return to the vendor, and surplus/excess items.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, on-hand equipment, parts, supplies, and internal service work in progress 
recognized as an expense in cost of sales amounted to $6.5 billion (2021: $4.9 billion). For the year ended 
December 31, 2022, the write-down of inventory to net realizable value, included in cost of sales, was $23 million 
(2021: $28 million).

13. INCOME TAXES 

Accounting Policy 

The balance sheet liability method of tax allocation is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, the 
carry forward of unused tax losses and unused tax credits and the temporary differences arising from the 
difference between the tax basis of an asset and a liability and its carrying amount on the consolidated statement 
of financial position are used to calculate deferred tax assets or liabilities. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized 
for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that 
taxable profits will be available against which the carry forward of unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and the 
deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the 
temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a 
business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither taxable profit nor the 
accounting profit. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with 
investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Company is able to 
control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in 
the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are calculated using tax rates anticipated to be in effect in 
the periods that the asset is expected to be realized or the liability is expected to be settled based on the laws 
that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. The effect of a change in income tax rates 
on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income and/or equity in the period that the change becomes 
enacted or substantively enacted. 

Current tax expense is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items which are non-assessable or 
disallowed using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the consolidated statement of financial position 
date. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets 
against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the 
Company intends to settle its tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. 

Current and deferred tax are recognized in net income, except when they relate to items that are recognized in 
other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized 
in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from 
the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business 
combination. The deferred tax impact of foreign exchange gains or losses arising on the translation of foreign-
denominated non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities is recorded in provision for income taxes in the 
consolidated statement of net income.  

Areas of Estimation Uncertainty 

Estimations of tax assets or liabilities require assessments to be made based on the potential tax treatment of 
certain items that will only be resolved once finally agreed with the relevant tax authorities. 

Assumptions underlying the composition of deferred tax assets and liabilities include estimates of future results of 
operations and the timing of reversal of temporary differences as well as the substantively enacted tax rates and 
laws in each jurisdiction at the time of the expected reversal. The composition of deferred tax assets and liabilities 
changes from period to period due to the uncertainties surrounding these assumptions and changes in tax rates 
or regimes which could have a material effect on expected results. 

Areas of Significant Judgment  

Judgment is required as income tax laws and regulations can be complex and are potentially subject to a different 
interpretation between the Company and the respective tax authority. Due to the number of variables associated 
with the differing tax laws and regulations across the multiple jurisdictions in which the Company operates, the 
precision and reliability of the resulting estimates are subject to uncertainties and may change as additional 
information becomes known. Net income in subsequent periods may be impacted by the amount that estimates 
differ from the final tax return or from any subsequent re-assessment.

Deferred taxes were not recognized on retained profits of approximately $1.6 billion (2021: $1.5 billion) of foreign 
subsidiaries, as it was the Company’s intention to invest these profits to maintain and expand the business of the 
relevant companies.   

The Company recognized the benefit of the following tax loss carry-forwards available to reduce future taxable 
income, of which $18 million does not expire and $26 million expires between 2026 and 2042.

15. PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT AND RENTAL EQUIPMENT  

Accounting Policy 

Property, plant, and equipment (PP&E) and rental equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation 
and any impairment losses. Depreciation of PP&E is recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses for all 
assets except standby equipment, which is recorded in cost of sales in the consolidated statement of net income. 
Depreciation of rental equipment is recorded in cost of sales in the consolidated statement of net income. 

Rental equipment comprises rental fleet as well as rental equipment with purchase options (equipment under rental 
agreements with customers which include an option to purchase the equipment at the end of the rental term). Rental 
equipment includes units transferred from inventory and excludes units transferred to inventory when the rental 
equipment becomes available for sale. 

Depreciation commences when the asset becomes available for use and ceases when the asset is derecognized or 
classified as held for sale. Where significant components of an asset have different useful lives, depreciation is 
calculated on each separate component.  

All classes of PP&E and rental equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives to their estimated 
residual value on a straight-line basis using the following: 

Buildings 
Vehicles and equipment 
Rental equipment 

10 - 50 years 
3 - 20 years 
2 - 8 years 

PP&E and rental equipment are reviewed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period or 
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An 
impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. 
The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. Where an 
impairment loss is recognized for an item of PP&E and rental equipment, the asset is reviewed for possible reversal 
of the impairment at the end of each subsequent reporting period. 

Areas of Significant Judgment 

Depreciation expense is sensitive to the estimated useful life determined for each type of asset. Actual lives and 
residual values may vary depending on a number of factors including technological innovation, product life cycles, 
physical condition, prospective use, and maintenance programs.

At the commencement of the lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a corresponding lease 
liability, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low 
value assets.  

The ROU asset at inception includes the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments 
made at or before the commencement date, and any initial direct costs. The ROU asset is subsequently measured 
at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation of ROU assets is recorded in selling, 
general, and administrative expenses for all assets except leases of rental equipment, where depreciation is 
recorded in cost of sales in the consolidated statement of net income. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line 
basis over the shorter of the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the underlying asset, commencing when 
the asset becomes available for use. 

ROU assets are reviewed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period or whenever events or 
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is 
recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable 
amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. Where an impairment loss is 
recognized for a ROU asset, the asset is reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each 
subsequent reporting period. 

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments that have not been paid 
at the commencement date, discounted by using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate unless the rate implicit 
in the lease is readily determinable.  

The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease 
liability (using the effective interest rate method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments 
made. 

The Company remeasures the lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related ROU asset) 
whenever: 

  The lease term changes or there is a change in the assessment of the likelihood of the purchase option being 

exercised, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a 
revised discount rate, 

  The lease payments change due to a change in an index, rate, or expected payment under a guaranteed 

residual value, in which cases the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using 
the initial discount rate; or, 

  The lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, in which 

case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate. 

The ROU asset is presented within PP&E and rental equipment and the lease liability is presented within other 
liabilities (current) and long-term lease liabilities (non-current) on the consolidated statement of financial position. 

Interest expense on lease liabilities is recognized in finance costs in the consolidated statement of net income.

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets 

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

Areas of Significant Judgment 

The Company is required to make judgments in determining the lease term. Management considers all facts and 
circumstances, including economic incentives to exercise an extension option and its asset management strategy. 
Extension options are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended. Most of the 
Company’s extension options relate to leases of properties in the Company’s Canadian operations and are 
evaluated based on management’s long-term facility strategy. 

The Company as Lessor 

Revenue from equipment rentals and operating leases is presented as equipment rental revenue and in accordance 
with the terms of the relevant agreement with the customer, either recognized evenly over the term of that 
agreement or on a usage basis such as the number of hours that the equipment is used. 

ROU asset additions and depreciation have been included in PP&E and rental equipment (Note 15). The net book 
value of ROU assets was as follows:

derecognized and reclassified to Other Assets.

17. INTANGIBLE ASSETS 

Accounting Policy 

Intangible assets are recorded at cost or acquisition-date fair value (if acquired through a business acquisition), net 
of any accumulated amortization and any impairment losses.  

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period during which they are 
expected to generate benefits. Amortization is recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the 
consolidated statement of net income using the following estimated useful lives: 

Contracts and Customer relationships 
Software and Technology 
Tradename 

2 – 10 years  
  2 – 7 years  
      20 years  

Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized. The distribution network, presented separately on the 
statement of financial position, is estimated to have an indefinite life because it is expected to generate cash flows 
indefinitely. Refer to Note 18 for the Company’s policy on impairment reviews. 

Borrowing costs are capitalized during the development of qualifying intangible assets. As the Company manages 
the financing of all operations centrally, the development of qualifying assets is financed through general 
borrowings and therefore, a weighted average borrowing rate is used in calculating interest to be capitalized.  

Intangible assets are reviewed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period or whenever events 
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is 
recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable 
amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. Where an impairment loss is 
recognized for an intangible asset, the asset is reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each 
subsequent reporting period. 

Areas of Significant Judgment 

Amortization expense is sensitive to the estimated useful life determined for each type of asset. Actual lives and 
residual values may vary depending on a number of factors including technological innovation, prospective use, 
and maintenance programs.

18. IMPAIRMENT 

Accounting Policy 

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives (e.g. distribution network) are subject to an assessment for 
impairment at least annually and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their value may not be 
fully recoverable, in which case the assessment is done at that time. Assets which do not have separate 
identifiable cash inflows are allocated to cash-generating units (CGUs). CGUs are subject to impairment reviews 
whenever there is an indicator that they may be impaired. At least quarterly, CGUs are reviewed for indicators of 
impairment. For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Company’s CGUs or 
group of CGUs expected to benefit from the acquisition. The level at which goodwill is allocated represents the 
lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for management purposes and is not higher than an operating 
segment. If the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than the carrying amount, then the impairment loss is 
allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of 
the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit, unless the impairment loss would 
reduce the carrying amount of an individual asset below the highest of its fair value less costs of disposal, its 
value-in-use, or zero. Any impairment is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of net income.  

Impairment losses on goodwill are never reversed but impairment losses on intangible assets with indefinite lives 
may be reversed. If there is any indication that the circumstances leading to the impairment loss of an intangible 
asset with an indefinite life no longer exist or may have changed, management estimates the recoverable value of 
the CGU. Indicators of a recovery may include sustainable improvement of the economic performance of the 
CGU and a positive trend in the forecast or budgeted results of the CGU. If the recoverable amount exceeds the 
carrying amount, then a previously recognized impairment loss is considered to have been reversed (either fully 
or in part). Any reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of net 
income. 

Areas of Significant Judgment  

Judgment is used to identify an appropriate discount rate and growth rate used to estimate the recoverable value, 
identifying the CGUs to which intangible assets should be allocated to, and the CGU or group of CGUs at which 
goodwill is monitored for management purposes.  

Areas of Estimation Uncertainty 

The recoverable value of CGUs or group of CGUs requires the use of estimates related to the future operating 
results and cash generating ability of the assets. 

Overview of annual impairment tests 

The annual impairment tests were completed to support April 1, 2022 net asset values. Management’s methodology 
for impairment testing utilizes cash flows from the financial budgets to estimate recoverable value.  

Recoverable value 

The recoverable value of each CGU or group of CGUs is estimated based on a value-in-use calculation. The value-
in-use calculation uses cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by the Board which include the 
following key assumptions: future cash flows and growth projections, associated economic risk assumptions, and 
estimates of achieving key operating metrics and drivers.  

The cash flow projection key assumptions are based on the Company’s financial budgets which are discounted 
using after-tax weighted average cost of capital (WACC) rates. For the purposes of the annual impairment test, the 
cash flows subsequent to the projection period are extrapolated using growth rates based on estimated long-term 
real gross domestic product and inflation (where appropriate) in the markets in which the Company operates. 

49 

 
 
Carrying amount, CGU allocation and key assumptions 

The carrying value of goodwill and distribution network at December 31, and the significant assumptions used in the 
Company’s value-in-use calculations in the annual impairment tests for each CGU or group of CGUs, were as 
follows:

Sensitivity testing is conducted as part of the annual impairment tests, including stress testing the WACC rate with 
all other assumptions being held constant. Management believes that any reasonable change in the key 
assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount would not cause the carrying amount of any CGU or group 
of CGUs to exceed its recoverable amount. Management believes its assumptions are reasonable. If future events 
were to differ significantly from management’s best estimate, key assumptions and associated cash flows could be 
materially adversely affected and the Company could potentially experience future impairment charges in respect of 
the intangible assets with indefinite lives and goodwill. 

Review for indicators of impairment 

The Company’s CGUs, as of December 31, 2022, were reviewed for indicators of impairment. Management 
reviewed recent cash flow projections and macro-economic conditions (including key assumptions used in WACC 
rates). Based on this review, management concluded there were no indicators of impairment of the Company’s 
CGUs. 

Conclusion 

There were no impairment losses recognized in 2022 or 2021 related to goodwill or distribution network. There were 
no impairment reversals in 2022 or 2021 related to the distribution network in the Company’s South American 
operations.

20. PROVISIONS 

Accounting Policy 

Warranty claims 

Provisions are made for estimated warranty claims in respect of certain equipment, spare parts, and service 
supplied to customers which are still under standard warranty at the end of the reporting period. These claims are 
expected to be settled in the next financial year.  

Other  

Other provisions are estimated for tax, legal, environmental or rehabilitation costs, expected repurchase 
guarantees, and anticipated losses related to long-term product support contracts or power system projects. 
Other provisions are recorded, when the likelihood of payment or loss is probable and can be reliably measured, 
with a corresponding expense in the consolidated statement of net income.  

Areas of Estimation Uncertainty 

Management estimates the warranty provision based on claims notified and past experience. Factors that could 
impact the estimated claim include the quality of the equipment, spare parts, and labour costs.

21. POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS 

The Company offers a number of benefit plans that provide pension and other benefits to many of its employees in 
Canada, the UK, the Republic of Ireland, and South America. These plans include defined benefit (DB) and defined 
contribution (DC) pension plans in Canada, the UK and Ireland, and include other post-employment benefits (Other 
PEB) in South America.  

Pension Plans 

The DB plans include both registered and non-registered pension plans that provide a pension based on the 
members’ final average earnings and years of service while participating in the pension plan. 

 

 

In the Company’s Canadian operations, DB plans exist for eligible employees but are closed to new members. 
Final average earnings are based on the highest 3 or 5-year average salary depending on employment category 
and there is no standard indexation feature. Pension benefits under the registered DB plan’s formula that 
exceed the maximum taxation limits are provided from non-registered supplemental pension plans. Benefits 
under these plans are partially funded by Retirement Compensation Arrangements.  

In the Company’s UK operations, a DB plan exists for eligible employees, but is closed to new members and 
was amended to cease future accruals. Final average earnings are based on the highest 3-year period and 
benefits are indexed annually with inflation subject to limits.  

The DC plans are pension plans under which the Company pays fixed contributions, as a percentage of plan 
member earnings, into the plans, where an account exists for each plan member.  

 

 

In the Company’s Canadian operations, the DC plans are registered pension plans that offer a base Company 
contribution rate for all members. The Company will also partially match non-executive employee contributions 
to a maximum additional Company contribution of 1% of employee earnings. The registered DC plan for 
executive employees is supplemented by an unfunded supplementary accumulation plan. Where contributions 
under the registered plan would otherwise exceed the maximum taxation limit, the excess contributions are 
provided through this supplemental plan. 

In the Company’s UK operations, the DC plans offer a match of employee contributions, within a required range, 
plus 1%. The Company’s Irish subsidiary has a DC plan, which offers a match of employee contributions at a 
level set by the Company.  

Other PEB 

The Company’s South American employees do not participate in employer pension plans but are covered by country 
specific government pension arrangements.  

Employment terms at some of the Company’s South American operations provide for a payment when an 
employment contract comes to an end under certain conditions, which can be considered a post-employment 
benefit. The benefit is typically at the rate of one month of final salary for each year of service (subject in most cases 
to a cap as to the number of qualifying years of service and a cap on the salary rate). The Company’s South 
American post-employment benefits are not funded.

Accounting Policy 

Pension Plans 

DB Plans:  

The cost of pensions and other retirement benefits is determined by independent actuaries using the projected 
unit credit method. 

Current service costs, past service costs, and administration costs (net of employee contributions) are recognized 
in selling, general, and administrative expenses and net interest costs are recognized in finance costs in the 
consolidated statement of net income. Net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate at the 
beginning of the period to the net DB liability or asset and takes into account changes in the net DB liability or 
asset during the period resulting from contributions or benefit payments.  

Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in other 
comprehensive income in the period in which they occur.  

The amount recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position represents the present value of the DB 
obligation reduced by the fair value of plan assets. The present value of the DB obligation is estimated by 
discounting the estimated future cash outflows using high-quality corporate bond yields denominated in the same 
currency of the benefits to be paid. 

DC Plans:  

The cost of pension benefits includes the current service cost, which comprise the actual contributions made and 
accrued by the Company during the year. These contributions are based on a fixed percentage of member 
earnings for the year and are expensed as incurred in the consolidated statement of net income. 

Other PEB 

The Company’s PEB in South America is accounted for as an unfunded DB plan. Current service costs are 
recognized in selling, general, and administrative expenses and interest costs are recognized in finance costs in 
the consolidated statement of net income. Interest costs are calculated by applying the discount rate at the 
beginning of the period to the post-employment benefit liability and takes into account changes in the other post-
employment benefit liability during the period resulting from contributions or benefit payments.  

Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in other 
comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. 

The amount recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position represents the present value of the 
post-employment benefit obligation. The obligation recognized is based on valuations performed and regularly 
updated through independent actuarial calculations by using the projected unit credit method.  

Areas of Significant Judgment 

Actuarial valuations of the Company’s DB plans and Other PEB are based on assumptions requiring significant 
judgment, such as mortality rates, inflation (which is particularly relevant in the UK), estimates of future salary 
increases, employee turnover, and the high-quality corporate bond yield (which is used to discount the estimated 
future cash flows). These assumptions impact the measurement of the net DB obligation, net benefit cost, 
actuarial gains and losses, and funding levels in Canada and the UK. 

The total benefit cost and actuarial gain for the Company’s post-employment benefit plans were as follows:

Assumptions regarding future mortality are required for the DB plans and were set based on management’s best 
estimate in accordance with published statistics and experience in each country. These assumptions for 2022 and 
2021 translate into an average life expectancy (in years) as follows: 

  December 31 
  Life expectancy for male currently aged 65 
  Life expectancy for female currently aged 65 
  Life expectancy at 65 for male currently aged 45

The post-employment benefit obligation and expense are sensitive to changes in the significant actuarial 
assumptions. At the end of the most recent calendar year, the weighted average duration of the obligation in 
Canada is 13 years, UK is 15 years, and South America is 7 years. A 0.25% increase in the significant actuarial 
assumptions would impact the accrued benefit obligations by the amounts shown below.

A 0.25% decrease in the discount rate, retail price inflation, rate of compensation increase, and average staff 
turnover would have an approximately equivalent but opposite effect on the accrued benefit obligation in the 
amounts shown above. 

The sensitivity analysis is based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In 
practice, this is unlikely to occur, as changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the 
sensitivity of the accrued benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions, the same method (i.e. present value 
of the accrued benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) 
has been applied as when calculating the accrued benefit obligation recognized within the consolidated statement of 
financial position. 

The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the 
previous period.

Funding and Valuations of DB Plans 

In Canada, the Company governs and administers the DB plans. An actuarial valuation of the Canadian registered 
DB plan is completed at least every three years to determine minimum annual contributions prescribed by applicable 
legislation. The Company may make voluntary contributions to a Retirement Compensation Arrangement to partially 
fund benefits for the Canadian non-registered supplemental DB plans. A surplus is recognized on the consolidated 
statement of financial position to the extent that an economic benefit can be gained by the Company. 

In the UK, a board of trustees governs and administers the DB plan. An actuarial valuation of the UK DB plan is 
required every three years. In the last formal valuation, a schedule was set out by the board of trustees for 
contributions to be made until mid-2023.  

Based on the most recent formal valuations completed, the Company expects to contribute approximately $5 million 
to the DB plans during the year ended December 31, 2023. The actuarial valuation dates of the Company’s material 
post-employment benefit plans were as follows:

Key Risks 

Through its DB plans, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed 
below: 

Investment Risk (i.e. asset volatility) 

The accrued benefit obligation is calculated using a discount rate set with reference to high quality corporate bond 
yields; if plan assets underperform this yield, this will create a deficit. Both the Canadian and UK plans invest in 
various asset categories including equities, fixed income, and infrastructure. These investments, in aggregate, are 
expected to outperform corporate bonds in the long-term but may result in volatility in the short-term. The UK plan 
also utilizes industry-standard derivatives and hedging instruments as part of its investment strategy. These tools 
are implemented to manage interest rate risk by ensuring that the plan’s assets match the plan’s liabilities. In 
extreme market scenarios, these derivatives structures are subject to additional risks. These risks are managed 
through frequent monitoring, limits on the use of leverage, and a relatively conservative approach to collateral 
management. 

To help mitigate this risk, in selecting the portfolios and the weightings in each category, the Company considers 
and monitors how the duration and the expected yield of the investments match the expected cash outflows arising 
from the pension obligations. A framework has been developed and adopted for each of the Canadian and UK DB 
plans whereby the investments will be adjusted over time as plan funding positions change. The planned 
adjustments are intended to improve the asset-liability match over time.  

The plans continue to invest in equity investments as the Company believes that equities offer higher returns over 
the long term with an acceptable level of risk considering the proportion of assets held in this category and the long-
term nature of the liabilities. Investments remain well diversified, such that the failure of any single investment would 
not have a material impact on the overall level of assets. 

Discount Rate Risk (i.e. changes in bond yields) 

A decrease in corporate bond yields will increase the value of the accrued benefit obligation. This risk is managed 
by selecting certain investments that aim to better match assets and liabilities. For example, an increase in the 
accrued benefit obligation resulting from a decrease in corporate bond yields will be partially offset by an increase in 
the fair value of the plans’ bond holdings. 

Inflation Risk 

The majority of the pension obligations in the UK are linked to inflation. Higher inflation will lead to higher liabilities 
although, in most cases, caps on the level of inflationary increases are in place to protect the plan against extreme 
inflation. While some of the plan’s assets are either unaffected by (i.e. fixed interest bonds) or loosely correlated with 
(i.e. equities) inflation, in recent years, the plan has increased its investments in assets that have a direct correlation 
with inflation (e.g. index-linked gilts and liability matching funds) in order to manage this risk.  

In the Canadian plans, the pension payments are not linked to inflation, so this is not a direct risk. However, to the 
extent that future benefits are based on final average earnings and salaries are generally linked to inflation to some 
degree, an increase in inflation beyond expectations may result in higher liabilities. With a relatively small number of 
employees still earning benefits in the Canadian DB plan, this risk is limited.  

Longevity Risk (i.e. increasing life expectancy) 

The plans provide benefits for the life of the member after retirement, so increases in life expectancy will result in an 
increase in the plans’ liabilities. This is particularly significant in the UK plan, where inflationary increases result in 
higher sensitivity to changes in life expectancy. 

Longevity risk in the UK plan is managed through asset management strategies. To mitigate this risk in the 
Canadian registered pension plan, the Company may purchase annuity contracts.

23. ACQUISITIONS 

Accounting Policy 

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, regardless of whether 
equity instruments or assets are acquired. The consideration for the acquisition of a subsidiary is: 

     fair values of the assets transferred, and 
     fair value of an asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement 

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are 
measured initially at the acquisition-date fair value. 

The excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded 
as goodwill. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. 

Hydraquip Hose & Hydraulics and Hoses Direct Ltd. (Hydraquip) 

On March 22, 2022, the Company’s UK & Ireland operations acquired a 100% ownership interest in Hydraquip, UK’s 
second largest hose replacement and repair company. Hydraquip earns approximately 60% of its revenue from on-
site mobile hose services and the remaining 40% from selling hydraulic and fluid power products and parts. This 
purchase has been accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. 

The fair value of the total consideration at the acquisition date was estimated to be $117 million (£70 million). Cash 
consideration of $84 million, net of $10 million cash acquired, was paid in the three months ended March 31, 2022. 
The fair value of deferred consideration was $19 million. The vendors may qualify for additional consideration 
(possible range of £nil to £11 million) based on the acquired business unit achieving specified levels of financial 
performance. The acquisition-date fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated to be $4 million (£2 
million). The deferred and contingent consideration was recognized as a liability on the consolidated statement of 
financial position and is payable in annual instalments over a period of three years after the acquisition. Any 
changes in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration will be recognized in the consolidated statement 
of income.  

Management finalized its purchase price allocation during the three months ended December 31, 2022. The 
acquisition-date fair values of acquired tangible and intangible assets, assumed liabilities, and deferred tax liabilities 
were estimated to be: 

  Purchase price allocation  
  ($ millions) 
  Cash and cash equivalents 
  Working capital (1) 
  Property, plant & equipment 
  Intangible assets 
  Goodwill

(1)  Working capital comprises accounts receivable, inventory, other assets, accounts payable and accruals, and provisions. 

Goodwill relates to the expected synergies from combining complementary capabilities that help customers 
maximize uptime and reduce operating costs and the expected growth potential for product support revenue. 
Hydraquip expands Finning’s service capabilities across multiple industries and equipment types to both new and 
existing customers. The goodwill is assigned to the Company’s UK & Ireland reportable segment.  

Since the acquisition date to the end of the reporting period, the acquiree earned $38 million of revenue and $4 
million of earnings before finance costs and income taxes (£24 million and £3 million, respectively).

ComTech 

On September 3, 2021, the Company’s Canadian operations acquired a 54.5% controlling ownership interest in 
ComTech through Finning’s subsidiary, 4Refuel Holdings Limited (4Refuel). ComTech is an early-stage developer of 
alternative energy infrastructure and provider of proprietary mobile fuelling solutions for low-carbon fuels in North 
America, including compressed natural gas (CNG), renewable natural gas (RNG), and hydrogen. ComTech provides 
4Refuel with the capability to be a leading provider of turn-key, low-carbon energy solutions. This acquisition 
expands the Company’s fuelling capabilities beyond diesel and allows the Company to support customers’ energy 
transition journey, starting with solutions for CNG and RNG. This investment in ComTech leverages 4Refuel’s 
leading mobile on-site refuelling platform to enable customers to reduce their emissions and improve productivity. 

Cash consideration for this acquisition was $25 million, which included $20 million cash acquired. The acquisition 
was funded with cash on hand. As part of this acquisition, Finning also recorded a non-controlling interest in 
ComTech (45.5% ownership interest) of $21 million.  

Management finalized its purchase price allocation during the three months ended September 30, 2022. The 
acquisition-date fair values of acquired tangible and intangible assets, assumed liabilities, and deferred tax liabilities

26. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES 

Due to the size, complexity, and nature of the Company’s operations, various legal, customs, and tax matters are 
pending. It is not currently possible for management to predict the outcome of such matters due to various factors, 
including the preliminary nature of some claims, an incomplete factual record, and uncertainty concerning 
procedures and their resolution by the courts, customs, or tax authorities. However, subject to these limitations, 
management is of the opinion, based on legal assessments and information presently available, that, except as 
stated below, it is not likely that any liability would have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or 
results of operations.  

The Company has received a number of claims from the Argentina Customs Authority associated with the export of 
agricultural animal feed product for five quarters in 2012 and 2013 and an order that could result in up to a one-year 
suspension of imports into Argentina by a portion of the business. The Company is appealing these claims and the 
order, believes they are without merit, and is confident in its position. Mitigation measures are also available to the 
Company in the unlikely event its appeal of the potential imports suspension order is not successful. These pending 
matters may take a number of years to resolve. Should the ultimate resolution of these matters differ from 
management’s assessment and, in the case of the potential suspension of imports into Argentina by a portion of the 
business, the mitigation measures not be effective, this could result in a material negative impact on the Company’s 
financial position.  

27. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS 

In certain circumstances, the Company enters into contracts with rights of return, at the customer’s discretion, for the 
repurchase or trade-in of equipment sold to customers for an amount which is generally based on a discount from 
the estimated future fair value of that equipment. At December 31, 2022, the total estimated value of these contracts 
outstanding was $113 million (2021: $146 million) coming due at periods ranging from 2023 to 2027. The 
Company’s experience to date has been that the equipment at the exercise date of the contract is generally worth 
more than the repurchase price or trade-in amount, however, there can be no assurance that this experience will 
continue in the future. The total amount recognized as a provision against these contracts at December 31, 2022 
was $2 million (2021: $2 million). 

The Company has issued guarantees for certain equipment sold to third parties to guarantee their residual values. 
The guarantees would be enforceable in the event that the market value of equipment at the time of its ultimate 
disposal is below the residual value guarantee issued by the Company. At December 31, 2022, the maximum 
potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under the guarantees was $14 
million (2021: $12 million), covering various periods up to 2026. At December 31, 2022, the Company has 
recognized a liability of $5 million for these guarantees (2021: $4 million). 

During the year, the Company entered into various other commercial letters of credit in the normal course of 
operations. The total issued and outstanding letters of credit at December 31, 2022 was $332 million (2021: $193 
million) principally related to performance and advance payment guarantees on delivery for prepaid equipment and 
other operational commitments in Chile.
