LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

The global air travel industry has experienced 
unprecedented volatility over the last two years 
due  to  the  COVID-19  pandemic.  While  there 
is  no  doubt  the  industry  will  recover  from  this 
crisis,  some  suggest  there  may  have  been  a 
permanent change in the percentage of people 
traveling for business verses pleasure. Aviation 
and  aerospace  leaders  believe  the  pandemic 
has demonstrated that today’s communication 
tools can be effective, cost saving alternatives 
to business travel. However, experts still believe 
that the key drivers of commercial aircraft demand 
remain fundamentally unchanged from those 
recognized prior to the pandemic.

The past year has proven that air travel demand 
is  resilient  when  governments  reopen  borders 
and when there is confidence in the safety of air 
travel.  Based  on  2021  passenger  travel  data, 
domestic air travel is forecast to recover to pre-
crisis levels in 2023, while international air travel 
is expected to lag by approximately one year. 
Aircraft  manufacturers  have  already  begun 
increasing single aisle build rates in response 
to improving travel demand and currently plan 
single aisle production to be at pre-pandemic 
rates  by  late  2023.  Considering  that  the  wide 
body market was already softening prior to the 
pandemic, only marginal recovery is expected 
in this segment within the present decade. 

Although there were positive signs of recovery 
for  Magellan  in  2021,  there  were  also  certain 
program delays and associated rate reductions 
that  adversely  impacted  revenue  recovery. 
Magellan ended 2021 with $688.4M in revenue, 
which was down by 7.5% from 2020, and down 
32.3% compared to the 2019 pre-pandemic year. 
With commercial aircraft build rates increasing 
in 2022, the main challenge will be to navigate 
pandemic  related  supply  chain  disruptions, 
material  shortages  and  the  competition  for 
human resources.

depreciation  and  amortization)  and  Adjusted  EBITDA  (earnings  before  interest  expense,  income  taxes,  depreciation  and 
amortization, goodwill impairment and restructuring), which the Corporation considers to be an indicative measure of operating 
performance and a metric to evaluate profitability. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not generally accepted earnings measures 
and should not be considered as alternative measures to net income (loss) or cash flows as determined in accordance with 
IFRS. As there is no standardized method of calculating this measure, the Corporation’s EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may 
not be directly comparable with similarly titled measures used by other companies. Reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted 
EBITDA to net income (loss) reported in accordance with IFRS are included in this MD&A. 

1. OVERVIEW
A summary of Magellan’s business and significant 2021 events

Magellan is a diversified supplier of components to the aerospace industry. Through its wholly owned subsidiaries, controlled 
entity  and  joint  venture,  Magellan  designs,  engineers  and  manufactures  aeroengine  and  aerostructure  components  for 
aerospace markets, including advanced products for defence and space markets, and complementary specialty products. 
The Corporation also supports the aftermarket through supply of spare parts as well as performing repair and overhaul services. 

Magellan operates substantially all of its activities in one reportable segment, Aerospace, which is viewed as one segment by 
the chief operating decision-makers for the purpose of resource allocations, assessing performance and strategic planning. The 
Aerospace segment includes the design, development, manufacture, repair and overhaul and sale of systems and components 
for defence and civil aviation. The Corporation supplies both the commercial and defence sectors of the Aerospace segment. 
In the commercial sector, the Corporation is active in the large commercial jet, business jet, regional aircraft, and helicopter 
markets. On the defence side, the Corporation provides parts and services for major military aircraft.

MAGELLAN 2021 ANNUAL REPORT                              MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS December 31, 2021 Within the Aerospace segment, the Corporation has two major product groupings: aerostructures and aeroengines. Aerostructure 
and aeroengine products are used both in new aircraft and for spares and replacement parts. 

Within  the  aerostructures  product  grouping,  the  Corporation  supplies  international  customers  by  producing  components 
using conventional and high-speed automated machining centres. Capabilities include precision casting of airframe-mounted 
components. Management believes that Magellan’s dedication to technological innovation combined with low cost sourcing 
from emerging markets will position the Corporation to capture targeted complex assembly programs. 

Within  the  aeroengines  product  grouping,  the  Corporation  manufactures  complex  castings,  fabricated  and  machined  gas 
turbine engine components, both static and rotating, integrated nacelle components, flow path and engine exhaust systems for 
the world’s leading aeroengine manufacturers. The Corporation also performs repair and overhaul services for jet engines and 
related components. 

Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has had and continues to have a significant impact on the global economy, our customers’ businesses 
and on the Corporation’s operations, financial and operating results and planning ability. To attempt to mitigate the spread of the 
pandemic, there have been extraordinary and wide-ranging actions taken by international, federal, provincial and local public 
health and governmental authorities to contain and combat the outbreak of COVID-19 around the world. These actions include 
quarantines and “stay-at-home” orders, social distancing measures and travel restrictions, among others. Although from time 
to time there has been an easing of restrictions in certain jurisdictions, some of these restrictions have been reinstated in other 
jurisdictions. 

In addition, the reopening of businesses and economies in certain countries is creating a variety of new challenges, including, 
for example, higher prices for goods and services, limited availability of products, disruptions to supply chains and labour 
shortages. During the second half of 2021, certain facilities of the Corporation began to experience supply chain disruptions 
and labour shortages, which have negatively impacted their production of goods resulting in lower absorption of manufacturing 
costs and, in some cases, delays in shipments to customers. We are taking actions to manage the potential impacts of these 
matters and we will continue to assess the actual and expected impacts and the need for further actions. 

In response to the COVID-19 impacts on our businesses, the Corporation has been and continues to adjust production schedules 
to accommodate changes in demand. The Corporation has also been taking measures to align its cost structure including 
headcount reductions and re-balancing workforce, restructuring businesses, eliminating all non-essential travel, entertaining 
and other discretionary spending, reducing capital expenditures, and applying for government subsidies, such as Canada 
Emergency Wage Subsidy (“CEWS”) for its Canadian employees. Magellan continues to monitor ongoing developments and 
mitigate risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact on Magellan’s operations, supply chain, and most importantly 
the health and safety of its employees.

In 2021, 52% of revenues were derived from commercial markets (2020– 54%, 2019– 68%) while 48% of revenues related to 
defence markets (2020 – 46%, 2019– 32%).

2021 and Recent Updates
On January 14, 2021, the Corporation announced that Raytheon Missiles & Defense (“Raytheon”) awarded the Corporation a 
contract for the supply of complex missile fin components. These heat-tolerant surface control assemblies will be manufactured 
at Magellan’s facility in Middletown, Ohio, with deliveries continuing through 2024. The value of this agreement is approximately 
$61.4 million. Magellan has participated in the Standard Missile (“SM”) program for more than 20 years, supplying dorsal fins for 
various configurations, including the SM-3 and SM-6. These defensive missiles provide area defence to the U.S. Military against 
theater ballistic missiles, aircraft and cruise missiles. 

On March 16, 2021, the Corporation announced that it had renewed for five additional years its agreement with Avio Aero, a GE 
Aviation Company, for the supply of magnesium and aluminum castings. The castings will be produced primarily at Magellan’s 
Haley, Ontario facility, with several also being produced at its Glendale, Arizona facility. 

On March 31, 2021, Magellan announced an agreement with Boeing on a contract extension for the supply of landing gear kits 
and other complex structural components for the 737, 767, and 777 airplanes. Magellan has made significant investments in

for Boeing employs a vertical integration strategy utilizing its global resources located in Kitchener, New York City, and India. 

On June 21, 2021, the Corporation announced a contract extension between Magellan Aerospace (UK) Limited and Airbus SAS 
(“Airbus”) for the supply of aluminum and titanium structural wing components from Magellan UK’s facilities located throughout 
Europe and India. This contract renewal is comprised of precision machined details and assemblies for use on the A320 and 
A330 aircraft.

On February 9, 2022, Magellan announced it had been awarded a contract from MDA Ltd. (“MDA”) to provide spacecraft 
avionics for their next Earth observation mission named CHORUS. The new spacecraft builds on MDA’s RADARSAT heritage 
and  will  continue  the  work  of  RADARSAT-2,  which  remains  operational  serving  its  worldwide  customer  base.  The  avionics 
subsystems  for  CHORUS  will  be  developed  at  Magellan’s  Winnipeg  facility,  home  of  western  Canada’s  Advanced  Satellite 
Integration Facility. Magellan has expertise in the development of satellite buses and spacecraft avionics. For MDA’s CHORUS 
mission, Magellan will be responsible for the design, manufacture, test, and delivery of the bus avionics system for the C-band 
Synthetic Aperture Radar satellite. The bus avionics include the satellite bus power control and distribution, communications, 
attitude control, orbit determination, and on-board telemetry data collection. Key avionics deliverables include Magellan’s Power 
Control Unit and Command and Data Handling Unit.

Labour Matters
The Corporation employs 3,400 employees; of these, approximately 1,400 are unionized and are covered by 16 collective 
bargaining agreements as of December 31, 2021. The Corporation maintains constructive relationships with its unions and 
strives  to  achieve  mutually  beneficial  relationships  while  maintaining  cost  competitiveness  when  negotiating  extensions  of 
expiry dates or renewals of the collective agreements. The Corporation is currently in negotiations regarding a number of such 
extensions or renewals and it expects all negotiations will result in extensions of expiry dates, renewals of the agreements or 
some other mutually satisfactory agreement as applicable. 

Financing Matters
On June 30, 2021, the Corporation extended its Bank Credit Facility Agreement (“Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders for 
an additional two-year period expiring on June 30, 2023. The Agreement provides for a multi-currency global operating credit 
facility to be available to Magellan in a maximum aggregate amount of $75 million. The Agreement also includes a $75 million 
uncommitted accordion provision, which provides Magellan with the option to increase the size of the operating credit facility 
to $150 million. Extensions of the Agreement are subject to mutual consent of the syndicate of lenders and the Corporation. 

2. OUTLOOK
The outlook for Magellan’s business in 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has made it extremely challenging for airlines to forecast near or medium-term commercial air travel 
demand. At the end of 2021, the rapidly spreading Omicron variant triggered a new series of government restrictions around 
the globe and caused widespread disruptions for most major airlines. Notwithstanding the added impact of significant weather 
events, airlines were forced to cancel flights due to shortages of pilots and employees who became sick or were quarantined 
due to the virus. Despite a discouraging end to the year for airlines, commercial air travel still showed improvement over the 
previous 2020 year.

The  International  Air  Transport  Association  (“IATA”)  reported  that  despite  Omicron  disruptions,  global  revenue  passenger 
kilometers (“RPK’s”) reached 55% of December 2019 levels by the end of 2021. For reference, RPK’s were at 38% of 2019 
levels  at  December  2020.  IATA’s  2021  data  indicated  that  domestic  air  travel  reached  78%  of  pre-COVID  levels  in  2021, 
while international travel reached only 42%. Industry experts currently predict that global domestic air travel will return to pre-
pandemic levels in 2023, while international air travel will follow by approximately twelve to fifteen months.

MAGELLAN 2021 ANNUAL REPORT                              MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS December 31, 2021 Aircraft manufacturers are already increasing single aisle aircraft build rates in response to improving commercial air travel 
volumes. These build rates are expected to return to pre-pandemic levels late in 2023. Considering the impact of the pandemic 
on  what  was  already  a  softening  wide  body  market,  forecasters  predict  a  marginal  recovery  in  corresponding  build  rates 
through 2030.

Airbus and Boeing delivered 611 aircraft and 340 aircraft, respectively in 2021. Airbus’ gross order intake totaled 773 aircraft 
and with cancellations of 264 aircraft, they ended the year with net orders of 509 aircraft. Boeing booked 909 gross aircraft 
orders and received cancellations for 430 aircraft, resulting in netted 479 aircraft orders in 2021. Airbus ended 2021 with total 
unfilled orders of 7,082 aircraft versus 7,184 aircraft at December 31, 2020, while Boeing ended with 5,136 aircraft unfilled orders 
in 2021 compared to 4,997 aircraft in 2020.

Airbus increased A320 build rates from 40 aircraft per month to 45 aircraft per month in 2021. Airbus began 2022 at a rate of 
49 aircraft per month with a plan to reach 54 aircraft per month in the fourth quarter of 2022. Airbus expects to ramp up from 59 
aircraft to 66 aircraft per month in 2023, which is delayed by three years from their original pre-pandemic forecast. At the close 
of 2021, the A330 build rate was at 2.2 aircraft per month and is forecasted to reach 2.8 aircraft per month late in 2022. The A350 
build rate plan continues at 5 aircraft per month until the latter part of 2022 when 6 aircraft per month is planned. Airbus’ A220 
rate is planned to reach 5.4 to 6.6 aircraft per month in 2022, 6.6 to 9.8 aircraft in 2023, and ramp up to 14 aircraft per month by 
mid of 2025, which advances this rate by 6 months from previous forecasts.

In a fourth quarter 2021 report, Boeing stated that they were engaged in discussions with the Federal Aviation Administration 
regarding actions required to resume deliveries of their 787 aircraft after a series of quality issues forced them to pause deliveries. 
Boeing disclosed that they had an inventory of 110 undelivered 787 aircraft at the end of 2021, and that they would continue 
building at 2 aircraft per month until deliveries resume. Boeing’s 737 build rate increased from 17 aircraft per month in 2021 
to 24 aircraft per month beginning January 2022. Boeing is planning 31 aircraft per month by the second half of 2022 and 52 
aircraft per month by the second half of 2023. Boeing’s 777 aircraft build rate is expected to remain at 2 aircraft per month and 
is planned to increase to 3 aircraft per month by 2023, and then 3.5 aircraft per month by 2024. The launch of the 777-8 freighter 
version is expected to further delay the entry-into-service of the 777X passenger variant and correspondingly impact build rates.

The defence industry remains considerably more insulated from the global impact of COVID-19 than the commercial aerospace 
industry. Experts are confident that most major defense spending nations will remain committed to strengthening their military 
budgets, despite the pandemic’s economic impact on fiscal deficits. Certain European countries including the United Kingdom 
have recommitted or increased defence spending during the COVID-19 crisis, further removing a degree of near-term budget 
uncertainty. In the U.S., the President’s budget proposal requested a fiscal year 2022 budget for national defense that was up 
2% year over year.

In 2021, Lockheed Martin delivered 142 F-35 aircraft, which was up from 123 aircraft in 2020 and which exceeded their plan 
to deliver between 133 and 139 aircraft. Lockheed Martin’s production plans include 151 to 153 aircraft delivered in 2022, and 
a peak rate of 156 aircraft delivered annually from 2023 onward. During 2021, the F-35 gained two new customers as it was 
chosen by Switzerland and Finland in their respective fighter competitions. The F-35 remains in contention for Canada’s Future 
Fighter  program  along  with  Saab’s  Grippen.  In  December  2021,  an  announcement  was  made  that  Boeing’s  F/A-18  Super 
Hornet was eliminated from the competition. Canada’s final selection is expected in 2022.

The Corporation believes there will be no immediate impact on defence aircraft procurement as a result of the recent conflict 
between Ukraine and Russia. With the conflict being in early stages, the extent and potential magnitude of impact on global 
defence markets is still being assessed by the industry. 

Aerospace and defence manufacturers have undergone a challenging period since the global pandemic began in early 2020. 
As commercial passenger air travel volumes recover, there is improving confidence in the near to medium term outlook for the 
industry. Experts are hopeful the horizon is becoming clearer and that aerospace and defence manufacturers can look forward 
to switching from mitigation plans to growth management.

The  COVID-19  pandemic  has  continued  to  disrupt  global  health  and  the  economy  in  2021  and  has  created  an 
indeterminate period of volatility in the markets in which Magellan operates. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021, 
decreased from both 2020 and 2019 levels. The decrease in revenues from 2020 was primarily attributable to volume decreases 
in wide-body aircraft, casting and proprietary products, production delays and unfavourable foreign exchange impact due to 
the weakening of the United States dollar relative to the Canadian dollar and British pound, offset in part by the volume recovery 
for  single  aisle  aircraft.  Net  income  decreased  in  2021  from  2020  mainly  due  to  lower  gross  margin  as  a  result  of  volumes 
decreases,  production  inefficiencies,  unfavourable  product  mix,  higher  material  and  manufacturing  costs,  and  lower  CEWS 
benefits recognized, offset in part by lower administrative and general expenses, and lower restructuring charges in the year. In 
2020, the Corporation recorded a goodwill impairment of $12.0 million. 

During 2021 and 2020, the Corporation paid quarterly dividends on common shares of $0.105 per share for the four quarters, 
amounting to $24.2 million and $24.4 million, respectively, in total for the year. 

4. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
A discussion of Magellan’s operating results for 2021 and 2020

Consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $688.4 million, a 7.5% decrease from the $744.4 million 
achieved  last  year.  Gross  profit  and  net  loss  were  $48.3  million  and  $1.0  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2021, 
respectively, in comparison to gross profit of $96.5 million and net income of $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Revenue in Canada decreased 6.8% in 2021 compared to the prior year mainly due to work stoppage at the Corporation’s Haley 
facility during the second quarter of 2021, volume decrease for wide-body aircraft and proprietary products, and unfavourable 
foreign exchange impact driven by the weakening of the United States dollar relative to the Canadian dollar.

Revenue in the United States in 2021 was 13.9% lower than 2020 primarily driven by volume decreases for wide-body aircrafts, 
production delays and unfavourable foreign exchange impact due to the weakening of the United State dollar relative to the 
Canadian dollar, offset in part by volume increases for single aisle aircraft, specifically the Boeing 737 MAX as aircraft build 
rates increased.

MAGELLAN 2021 ANNUAL REPORT                              MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS December 31, 2021  
European revenue in 2021 decreased 2.4% compared to the corresponding year in 2020 primarily due to unfavourable foreign 
exchange impact as the United States dollar weakened relative to the British pound, partially offset by build rate recovery for 
single aisle aircraft.

Consolidated revenues are impacted by the fluctuation of the United States dollar and British pound against the Canadian dollar 
when the Corporation translates its foreign operations to Canadian dollars. Further, the fluctuation of the British pound relative 
to the United States dollar impacts the performance of the Corporation’s European operations. If the average exchange rates 
for both the United States dollar and British pound experienced in 2020 remained constant in 2021, consolidated revenues for 
2021 would have been higher by 4.6%.

Gross profit was $48.3 million in 2021, $48.2 million lower than 2020 of $96.5 million. Gross profit, as a percentage of revenues 
was  7.0%,  a  decrease  of  6.0%  from  13.0%  recorded  in  2020.  Decrease  in  gross  profit  was  primarily  driven  by  continued 
lower  post  pandemic  volumes,  unfavourable  product  mix,  higher  material  and  manufacturing  costs,  and  lower  subsidies 
mainly from Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (“CEWS”) program, offset in part by volume increases and new businesses 
in certain programs. The implementation of the Corporation’s plan to restructure its European operations in the year resulted 
in higher operating costs as programs were transitioned within internal facilities. In addition, during the second half of 2021, 
certain facilities of the Corporation began to experience supply chain disruptions and labour shortages, which have negatively 
impacted their production of goods and, thus, resulted in lower absorption of manufacturing costs.

During  2021,  the  Corporation  incurred  $2.2  million  closure  costs  as  compared  to  $5.6  million  related  to  the  closure  of  its 
Bournemouth manufacturing facilities in the United Kingdom in implementing the restructuring plan announced in the fourth 
quarter of 2020 to reorganize its European operations. In 2020, the Corporation also incurred, as part of its cost reduction efforts 
in response to COVID-19, workforce reduction costs of $6.9 million related to terminations of employment, primarily in Europe.

In 2020, the Corporation recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $12.0 million due to the projected slow recovery of the 
aerospace market and the resulting depressed customer demand for products and services provided by one of the Corporation’s 
cash generating units (“CGU”). There was no impairment recorded in 2021.

Included in other is a foreign exchange gain of $2.5 million in 2021 compared to a loss of $1.1 million in the prior year. The movements 
in balances denominated in foreign currencies and the fluctuations of the foreign exchange rates impact the net foreign exchange 
gain or loss recorded during the year. In addition, a $0.6 million gain was recorded relating to the disposal of investment properties.

Total interest costs of $2.9 million for 2021 decreased by $1.5 million from $4.4 million in 2020, primarily due to lower accretion 
charge on long-term debt as principal amounts decreased and lower discount on sale of accounts receivables due to lower 
volume of receivables sold in the year.

The Corporation recorded an income tax expense of $2.8 million in 2021 on pre-tax income of $1.9 million, representing an 
effective tax rate of 152.3%, compared to an income tax expense of $11.1 million on pre-tax income of $14.4 million, representing 
an effective tax rate of 77.0% in 2020. 

During 2021 and 2020, the Corporation recognized investment tax credits totaling $1.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively, as a 
reduction of cost of revenues, as the Corporation has determined that it will be able to benefit from these investment tax credits. The 
change in effective tax rate and current and deferred income tax expenses year over year was primarily due to changes in the mix 
of income and loss across the different jurisdictions in which the Corporation operates and the reversal of temporary differences.

5. RECONCILIATION OF NET INCOME TO EBITDA AND ADJUSTED EBITDA
A description and reconciliation of certain non-IFRS measures used by management 

In  addition  to  the  primary  measures  of  earnings  and  earnings  per  share  (basic  and  diluted)  in  accordance  with  IFRS,  the 
Corporation includes EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA 
(earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, goodwill impairment and restructuring) in this MD&A. 
The Corporation has provided this measure because it believes this information is used by certain investors to assess financial 
performance and that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful supplemental measures as they provide an indication of the 

8

MAGELLAN 2021 ANNUAL REPORT                              MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS December 31, 2021  
results generated by the Corporation’s principal business activities prior to consideration of how these activities are financed 
and how the results are taxed in the various jurisdictions. Each component of this measure is calculated in accordance with 
IFRS, but EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized measures under IFRS, and the Corporation’s method of calculation 
may  not  be  comparable  with  that  of  other  companies.  Accordingly,  EBITDA  and  Adjusted  EBITDA  should  not  be  used  as 
alternatives to net income as determined in accordance with IFRS or as alternatives to cash provided by or used in operations.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $41.6 million or 41.4% to $58.8 million for the year ended 2021, compared to $100.4 million in 
2020 mainly as a result of lower net income driven largely by volume reductions and higher production costs, lower interest and 
taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses, restructuring expenses and impairment charge. In addition, during the second 
half of 2021, certain facilities of the Corporation began to experience supply chain disruptions and labour shortages, which 
negatively impacted their production of goods and, thus, resulted in lower absorption of manufacturing costs leading to lower 
Adjusted EBITDA.

1  EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not IFRS financial measures. Please see Section 5 the “Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA and Adjusted 
EBITDA” section for more information.

Revenues and net income in the quarter were impacted by the movements of the Canadian dollar relative to the United States 
dollar and British pound, when the Corporation translates its foreign operations to Canadian dollars. Further, the movements 
in the United States dollar relative to the British pound impact the Corporation’s United States dollar exposures in its European 
operations. During the periods reported, the average quarterly exchange rate of the United States dollar relative to the Canadian 
dollar fluctuated between a high of 1.3859 in the second quarter of 2020 and a low of 1.2280 in the second quarter of 2021. The 
average quarterly exchange rate of the British pound relative to the Canadian dollar reached a high of 1.7461 in the first quarter 
of 2021 and hit a low of 1.6991 in the fourth quarter of 2021. The average quarterly exchange rate of the British pound relative to 
the United States dollar reached a high of 1.3974 in the second quarter of 2021 and hit a low of 1.2388 in the second quarter of 
2020. Had exchange rates remained at levels experienced in 2020, reported revenues in 2021 would have been higher by $6.7 
million, $15.4 million, $6.4 million and $6.1 million for the first, second, third and fourth quarters of 2021, respectively.

Commencing in the second quarter of 2020, the Corporation’s results were negatively impacted by COVID-19 pandemic driven 
volume decreases in a number of commercial programs. However, starting with the second quarter of 2021, there were some 
positive signs of revenue recovery as certain commercial program aircraft build rates had started to increase. The Corporation 

9

MAGELLAN 2021 ANNUAL REPORT                                  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS December 31, 2021 applied and recognized the CEWS subsidy of $8.6 million, $10.4 million and $1.0 million in the second, third and fourth quarters 
of 2020, respectively, and $3.9 million and $3.8 million in the second and fourth quarters of 2021, and reduced the expense 
that the subsidy offsets.

During the third quarter of 2020, Magellan implemented cost savings initiatives designed to reduce operating costs by re-
balancing its workforce and recognized severance costs of $5.6 million. A $3.4 million cost recovery was recorded against cost 
of revenues as a result of the cancellation of the Airbus A320neo program in the third quarter of 2020. In the fourth quarter of 
2020, the Corporation committed to a plan to restructure its manufacturing divisions in Europe due to decreased demand as a 
result of a deterioration in economic conditions stemming from COVID-19 and recognized a $5.6 million restructuring charge, 
including a $2.4 million impairment loss related to assets made obsolete as a result of the plan. Further, a $12.0 million goodwill 
impairment charge was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2020. 

7. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
A discussion of Magellan’s cash flow, liquidity, credit facilities and other disclosures

The Corporation’s liquidity needs can be met through a variety of sources including cash on hand, cash provided by operations, 
short-term borrowings from its credit facility and accounts receivables securitization program, and long-term debt and equity 
capacity. Principal uses of cash are to fund liabilities as they become due, finance capital expenditures, fund debt repayments, 
repurchase common shares, pay dividends and provide flexibility for new investment opportunities. Based on current funds 
available and expected cash flow from operating activities, management believes that the Corporation has sufficient funds 
available to meet its liquidity requirements at any point in time. However, if cash from operating activities is lower than expected 
or capital costs for projects exceed current estimates, or if the Corporation incurs major unanticipated expenses, it may be 
required to seek additional capital in the form of debt or equity or a combination of both.

In 2021, $12.5 million of cash was generated by operations, $20.8 million was used in investing activities and $73.0 million was 
used in financing activities.

The Corporation generated $12.5 million in 2021 from operating activities, compared to $106.0 million in the prior year. Changes 
in non-cash working capital items used cash of $33.8 million in 2021 as compared to $21.8 million generated in the prior year. 
The unfavourable movement of non-cash working capital balances was largely attributable to increases in accounts receivables 
from lower volume of receivables sold and timing of customer payments, decreases in contract assets due to lower production 
and timing of payments, and decreases in prepaid expenses and other due to timing of purchases, offset in part by decreases 
in inventories due to timing of production and shipment, and material purchases, and increases in accounts payable, accrued 
liabilities and provisions primarily driven by timing of material purchases and supplier and milestone payments.

December 31, 2021 

Investing activities for 2021 used $20.8 million compared to $25.8 million in the prior year, a decrease of $5.0 million primarily 
due  to  lower  levels  of  investment  in  property,  plant  and  equipment  and  disposal  of  investment  properties  offset  in  part  by 
increases in long-term receivables and deposits recorded in other assets.

On June 30, 2021, the Corporation extended its Bank Credit Facility Agreement (“Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders for 
an additional two-year period expiring on June 30, 2023. The Agreement provides for a multi-currency global operating credit 
facility to be available to Magellan in a maximum aggregate amount of $75 million. The Agreement also includes a $75 million 
uncommitted accordion provision, which provides Magellan with the option to increase the size of the operating credit facility 
to $150 million. Extensions of the Agreement are subject to mutual consent of the syndicate of lenders and the Corporation. 

As at December 31, 2021, the Corporation had made contractual commitments to purchase $4.9 million of capital assets. In 
addition, the Corporation had purchase commitments, largely for materials required for the normal course of operations, of 
$313.1 million as at December 31, 2021. The Corporation plans to fund all of these commitments with operating cash flow and 
the existing credit facility.

Outstanding Share Information 
The authorized capital of the Corporation consists of an unlimited number of preference shares, issuable in series, and an 
unlimited number of common shares. As at March 17, 2022, 57,729,106 common shares were outstanding and no preference 
shares  were  outstanding.  More  information  on  the  Corporation’s  share  capital  is  provided  in  note  20  of  the  Corporation’s 
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

For the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Corporation paid quarterly dividends on its common shares of $0.105 
per common share, representing an aggregate dividend payment of $24.2 million and $24.4 million, respectively.

Normal Course Issuer Bid
On May 25, 2020, the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) accepted the Corporation’s application to commence a normal 
course issuer bid (“NCIB”) which allowed the Corporation to repurchase through the facilities of the TSX and alternative 
Canadian  trading  platforms  up  to  2,910,450  common  shares.  The  program  commenced  on  May  27,  2020  and  ended  on  
May 26, 2021. On May 27, 2021, the Corporation’s application was re-approved for an NCIB to purchase up to 2,886,455 common 
shares, over a 12-month period commencing May 27, 2021 and ending May 26, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2021,  
the Corporation had not purchased common shares for cancellation under the program. During the year ended December 31, 2020, 
479,895 shares were purchased for cancellation for $3,407 at a volume weighted average price paid of $7.10 per share respectively. 

8. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
A summary of Magellan’s financial instruments

Derivative Contracts
The Corporation operates internationally, which gives rise to a risk that its income, cash flows and shareholders’ equity may be 
adversely impacted by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Currency risk arises because the amount of the local currency 
receivable or payable for transactions denominated in foreign currencies may vary due to changes in exchange rates and 
because the non-Canadian dollar denominated financial statements of the Corporation’s subsidiaries may vary on consolidation 
into the reporting currency of Canadian dollars. The Corporation from time to time may use derivative financial instruments to 
help  manage  foreign  exchange  risk  with  the  objective  of  reducing  transaction  exposures  and  the  resulting  volatility  of  the 
Corporation’s earnings. The Corporation does not trade in derivatives for speculative purposes. Under these contracts, the 
Corporation  is  obligated  to  purchase  specified  amounts  at  predetermined  dates  and  exchange  rates.  These  contracts  are 
matched with anticipated cash flows in United States dollars. The counterparties to the foreign currency contracts are all major 
financial institutions with high credit ratings. As at December 31, 2021, foreign exchange contracts of US$6.7 million and £9.5 
million were outstanding with an immaterial fair value.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The  Corporation  does  not  have  any  off-balance  sheet  arrangements  that  have  or  reasonably  are  likely  to  have  a  material 
effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital 
expenditures or capital resources. As a result, the Corporation is not exposed materially to any financing, liquidity, market or 
credit risk that could arise if it had engaged in these arrangements.

9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
A summary of Magellan’s transactions with related parties

During the year, the Corporation incurred consulting and cost recovery fees of $0.2 million [2020 - $0.2 million] payable to a 
corporation controlled by the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

10. RISK FACTORS
A summary of risks and uncertainties facing Magellan

The Corporation’s performance may be affected by a number of risks and uncertainties. Magellan’s senior management identifies 
key risks and has processes in place to help monitor, manage, and mitigate these risks. Additional risks and uncertainties not 
presently known by the Corporation, or that the Corporation does not currently anticipate, may be material and may impair the 
Corporation’s performance.

The following risks and uncertainties apply to the Corporation. Information relating to additional risks and uncertainties are set 
forth in the Corporation’s Annual Information Form on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

MAGELLAN 2021 ANNUAL REPORT                              MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS December 31, 2021  
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to create considerable uncertainty for the Corporation’s operations.

Magellan’s global operations continue to expose the Corporation to risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Authorities 
around the world have implemented measures to try and reduce the spread of the virus and such measures have impacted 
and  continue  to  impact  Magellan,  its  business  partners,  and  stakeholders.  The  extent  of  the  impact  of  COVID-19  remains 
uncertain and will continue to depend on numerous evolving factors across jurisdictions and markets that the Corporation is not 
able to accurately predict. This includes the duration and scope of the pandemic, the emergence and spread of new variants 
of the virus, including the Omicron variant, the development and availability of effective treatments and vaccines, the speed at 
which vaccines are administered, the efficacy of vaccines against the virus and evolving strains or variants of the virus. Also, 
global economic conditions during and after the pandemic, government actions that have been taken, or may be taken in the 
future, in response to the pandemic, and changes in the aerospace market conditions in response to the pandemic, creates 
considerable uncertainty for the Corporation, some of which may be more than just temporary.

COVID-19 affects many of the risk factors enumerated further below and more specifically may cause: 

— 

— 

— 

— 
— 

— 

 Operation disruptions delaying deliveries and causing financial losses as a result of COVID-19, resulting from temporary 
closures of the facilities of the Corporation or its Corporation’s business partners or the inability of a significant portion of 
the Corporation’s business partners’ workforce to work because of illness, absenteeism, quarantine, vaccine mandates, or 
travel or other government restrictions;
 Supply  shortages,  labor  shortages,  including  strike  or  work  stoppages,  or  transport  capacity  constraints  (i.e.  reduced 
availability  of  air  or  other  commercial  transport,  port  congestion,  availability  of  truck  drivers,  and  border  restrictions  or 
closures), any of which can impact operations. Any sustained interruption in the Corporation’s or the Corporation’s business 
partners’ operations, distribution network or supply chain or any significant continuous shortage of raw materials, or supply 
shortages can negatively impact the Corporation’s operations;
 Operational inefficiencies and additional costs brought on by the effect of the pandemic and related mitigation methods 
on the workforce such as costs related to expanded benefits and frontline incentives, the provision of personal protective 
equipment and increased sanitation;
 Closure or reduction of production of customers, delaying deliveries;
 Financial duress for suppliers or customers, related to disruption to the supply chain, potentially causing key inputs to be 
unavailable or more costly or receivables uncollectible or subject to longer payment cycles;
 Production rate cuts by Airbus, Boeing and other OEMs as a result of global reduction in the demand for commercial 
aerospace products;

—  Deferral of marketing, business development, and bid activities; and
—  Diversion of management attention.

Safety is one of the Corporation’s main priorities, thus several measures have been put in place in order to mitigate these risks, 
including:

— 

 A Steering committee to coordinate emergency response procedures with local management teams at of the Corporation’s 
facilities;

—  Continued restrictions on all travel;
— 

 Health protocols at each location in order to mitigate transmission, including but not limited to:

Issuance of personal protective equipment;
Initiating production shifts;

–  Physical distancing measures;
– 
– 
–  Quarantine policies;
–  Sanitation and hygiene reinforcement; 
–  Compelling most employees to work from home, where possible.

— 

— 

 Communication with customers and suppliers in order to better forecast disruptions in demand and secure the supply 
chain; and
 Scrutiny of credit assessments, review of overdue accounts, and provisioning of inventory.

MAGELLAN 2021 ANNUAL REPORT                                  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS December 31, 2021  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Factors that have an adverse impact on the aerospace industry may adversely affect the Corporation’s results of operations.

The Corporation’s gross profit is derived from the aerospace industry. The Corporation’s aerospace operations are focused 
on engineering and manufacturing aircraft components for new manufactured aircraft, and selling spare parts and performing 
repair  and  overhaul  services  on  existing  aircraft  and  aircraft  components.  Therefore,  the  Corporation’s  business  is  directly 
affected by economic factors and other trends that affect the Corporation’s customers in the aerospace industry, including 
possible changes in sourcing strategies by aircraft operators and OEMs, decreased demand for air travel or projected market 
growth that may not materialize or be sustainable or the grounding of specific aircraft models by regulatory authorities. Since 
fuel prices are a significant cost factor for aircraft operators, any sizeable price increases can affect their operating margins 
and reduce their ability to finance capital expenditures. Constraints in the credit market may reduce the ability of airlines and 
others to purchase new aircraft, negatively affecting the demand for the Corporation’s products. When these economic and 
other factors adversely affect the aerospace industry, they tend to reduce the overall customer demand for the Corporation’s 
products and services, which decreases the Corporation’s operating income. 

Economic  and  other  factors  both  internal  and  external  to  the  aerospace  industry  might  affect  the  aerospace  industry  and 
may have an adverse impact on the Corporation’s results of operations. More specifically, a number of additional external risk 
factors may include the financial condition of the airline industry, commercial aerospace customers and government aerospace 
customers; government policies related to import and export restrictions and business acquisitions; changing priorities and 
possible  spending  cuts  by  government  agencies;  government  support  for  export  sales;  world  trade  policies;  increased 
competition from other businesses, including new entrants in market segments in which the Corporation competes. In addition, 
acts  of  terrorism,  natural  disasters,  and  global  health  risks  including  new  pandemics,  political  instability  or  the  outbreak  of 
war or continued hostilities in certain regions of the world could adversely affect global travel and result in lower orders or the 
rescheduling or cancellation of part of the existing order backlog for some of the Corporation’s products.

The Corporation faces risks from downturns in the domestic and global economies.

Potential loss due to unfavourable economic conditions, such as a macroeconomic downturn in key markets, could result in 
potential buyers postponing the purchase of the Corporation’s products or services, lower order intake, order cancellations 
or  deferral  of  deliveries,  lower  availability  of  customer  financing,  downward  pressure  on  selling  prices,  increased  inventory 
levels, decreased level of customer advances, slower collection of receivables, reduction in production activities, discontinued 
production of certain products, termination of employees and adverse impacts on the Corporation’s suppliers.

The Corporation cannot predict the depth or duration of downturns in the domestic and global economies nor the effects on 
markets that the Corporation serves, particularly the airline industry. The Corporation’s ability to increase or maintain its revenues 
and operating results may be impaired as a result of negative general global economic conditions including, without limitation, 
interest rates, general levels of economic activity, fluctuations in the market prices of securities, participation by other investors 
in the financial markets, economic uncertainty, national and international political circumstances, natural disasters, public health 
crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and other events outside of our control. Also, even as government restrictions are 
relaxed and economies gradually, partially, or fully reopen in the Corporation’s jurisdictions and markets, the ongoing economic 
impacts and health concerns associated with the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to affect the Corporation’s operations for 
a timeframe that is uncertain. The economic impact could be severe to global economies depending on the duration of the 
pandemic, the likelihood and scope of any subsequent waves of COVID-19 and the continued measures put in place to contain 
the virus. Also, there are significant uncertainties of the economic impacts that the recent conflict between Ukraine and Russia, 
with the conflict being in its early stages will have on global economies. The economic uncertainties of such events render 
estimates of future revenues and expenditures more difficult to formulate. The future direction of the overall domestic and global 
economies could have a significant impact on the Corporation’s overall financial performance and may impact the value of its 
common shares.

Cancellations, reductions or delays in customer orders may adversely affect the Corporation’s results of operations.

The Corporation’s overall operating results are affected by many factors, including the timing of orders from large customers and 
the timing of expenditures to manufacture parts and purchase inventory in anticipation of future sales of products and services. 
A large portion of the Corporation’s operating expenses is relatively fixed. As several of the Corporation’s operating locations 

14

MAGELLAN 2021 ANNUAL REPORT                              MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS December 31, 2021 typically do not obtain long-term purchase orders or commitments from customers, the Corporation must anticipate the future 
volume of orders based upon the historic purchasing patterns of customers and upon discussions with customers as to their 
anticipated future requirements. These historic patterns may be disrupted by many factors, including grounding of specific 
aircraft  models  by  regulatory  authorities,  changing  economic  conditions,  inventory  adjustments,  work  stoppages  or  labour 
disruptions and the impacts of COVID-19. Cancellations, reductions or delays in orders by a customer or group of customers 
could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business, financial condition and results of operations. 

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine and any restrictive actions that may be taken by the U.S. and/or other countries in 
response thereto, such as sanctions or export controls.

The recent escalated conflict between Russia and the Ukraine (“Conflict”) has resulted in sanctions imposed upon Russia by 
NATO and Western countries which are expected to impact world economic markets and particular areas of the aerospace 
industry.  The  extent  and  potential  magnitude  of  economic  impacts  on  the  aerospace  industry  as  a  result  of  the  imposed 
sanctions is still being assessed by the industry. The impact of changes in world economic markets and the follow-on effects 
on the aerospace industry is a primary concern. While it is expected there will be no immediate impact upon defence aircraft 
procurement, the Corporation cannot predict the outcome of the Conflict and thus the impact on the Corporation remains 
uncertain. The Corporation, through certain of its customers, participates on certain commercial aircraft programs that are 
manufactured by Russian companies, and the Corporation indirectly supplies components for aircraft engines which are sold 
to Russian aircraft manufacturers. Magellan also purchases raw materials from OEM designated suppliers that are situated in 
Russia. The short and long-term implications of the Conflict are difficult to predict at this time.

11. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
A description of accounting estimates that are critical to determining Magellan’s financial results

The  preparation  of  consolidated  financial  statements  requires  management  to  make  critical  judgements,  estimates  and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements 
and the reported amount of revenues and expenses recorded during the reporting period. The critical estimates and judgements 
utilized in preparing the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements affect the assessment of net recoverable amounts, net 
realizable values and fair values, depreciation and amortization rates and useful lives, value of intangible assets, ability to utilize 
tax losses and other tax measurements, determination of functional currency, determination of the degree of control that exists 
in determining the corresponding accounting basis, and the selection of accounting policies. Any changes in estimates and 
assumptions could have a material impact on the Corporation’s future income and/or the amounts reported in its statement 
of financial position. The Corporation reviews its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and uses the most current 
information available and exercises careful judgement in making these estimates and assumptions. 

The outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus “COVID-19” resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures 
to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine 
periods and social distancing, have caused a material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown 
and decreased demand in the aerospace industry. The introduction of vaccines has led to optimism; however, the situation 
continues to evolve (including the prevalence of virus variants). The duration and full financial effect of the COVID-19 pandemic 
is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions, the Corporation’s business continuity 
plan and other mitigating measures.

In addition, the recent escalation in Conflict and the resulting imposition of sanctions and counter sanctions have disrupted 
supply chains and caused instability in the global economy. The short and long-term implications of the Conflict are difficult to 
predict at this time. The ongoing Conflict could result in the imposition of future economic sanctions, which may have a greater 
adverse effect on economic markets and could result in an even greater impact related to global supply and pricing of electricity 
and materials.

15

MAGELLAN 2021 ANNUAL REPORT                                  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS December 31, 2021 Any estimate of the length and severity of these developments is therefore subject to significant uncertainty, and accordingly 
estimates of the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and Conflict may materially and adversely affect the Corporation’s 
operations, financial results and condition in future periods are also subject to significant uncertainty. Therefore, uncertainty 
about judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management during the preparation of the Corporation’s consolidated 
financial statements related to potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and Conflict on revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities, 
and note disclosures could result in a material adjustment to the carrying value of the asset or liability affected. 

The main assumptions and estimates that were used in preparing the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements relate to:

Financial instruments
The valuation of the Corporation’s derivative instruments and certain other financial instruments requires estimation of the fair 
value of each instrument at the reporting date. Details of the basis on which fair value is estimated are provided in note 22 to 
the consolidated financial statements.

Impairments
The recoverable amount of goodwill, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment is based on estimates and assumptions 
regarding the expected market outlook and cash flows from each CGU or group of CGUs. 

In order to estimate the fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill resulting from business combinations, the 
Corporation  typically  estimates  future  revenue,  considers  market  factors  and  estimates  future  cash  flows.  Based  on  these 
key assumptions, judgements and estimates, the Corporation determines whether to record an impairment charge to reduce 
the value of the asset carried on the consolidated statements of financial position to its estimated fair value. Assumptions, 
judgements and estimates about future values are complex and often subjective. They can be affected by a variety of factors, 
including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as changes in the Corporation’s 
business strategy or internal forecasts. Although the Corporation believes the assumptions, judgements and estimates made in 
the past have been reasonable and appropriate, different assumptions, judgements and estimates could materially affect the 
Corporation’s reported financial results. 

Deferred taxes
Income taxes are determined based on estimates of the Corporation’s current income taxes and estimates of deferred income 
taxes  resulting  from  temporary  differences.  Deferred  tax  assets  are  assessed  to  determine  the  likelihood  that  they  will  be 
realized from future taxable income before they expire.

Government assistance
Investment tax credits and scientific research and experimental development tax credits are determined based on estimates of 
the Corporation’s current year expenditures on qualifying programs. The investment tax credits are assessed to determine the 
likelihood that they will be applied against federal income taxes.

Capitalization of development costs
When capitalizing development costs the Corporation must assess the technical and commercial feasibility of the projects 
and estimate the useful lives of resulting products. Determining whether future economic benefits will flow from the assets and 
therefore the estimates and assumptions associated with these calculations are instrumental in (i) deciding whether project 
costs can be capitalized, and (ii) accurately calculating the useful life of the projects for the Corporation.

Leases
The Corporation determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an 
option to extend or terminate the lease. The lease term is estimated by considering the facts and circumstances that can create 
an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise the termination option. Both qualitative and quantitative 
assumptions are considered when deriving the value of the economic incentive.

The Corporation makes judgements in determining whether a contract contains an identified asset. The identified asset should 
be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of the asset, and should provide the Corporation with the right 
to substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset.

16

MAGELLAN 2021 ANNUAL REPORT                              MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS December 31, 2021 Judgements are made by the Corporation in determining the incremental borrowing rate used to measure the lease liability for 
each lease contract, including an estimate of the asset-specific security impact. The incremental borrowing rate should reflect 
the interest rate that the Corporation would have to pay to borrow at a similar term and with a similar security.

Income (loss) on completion of contracts 
To estimate income (loss) on completion, the Corporation takes into account factors inherent to the contract by using historical 
and/or forecast data.

Repayable government grants
The forecast repayment of grants received from government authorities is based on future sales. As the forecast repayments 
are closely related to forecasts of future sales set out in business plans prepared by the operating divisions, the estimates and 
assumptions underlying these business plans are instrumental in determining the timing of these repayments.

Employee benefits
The Corporation considers a number of factors in developing the pension assumptions, including an evaluation of relevant 
discount rates, plan asset allocations, mortality, expected changes in wages and retirement benefits, analysis of current market 
conditions, economic benefits available and input from actuaries and other consultants. Costs of the programs are based on 
actuarially determined amounts and are accrued over the period from the date of hire to the full eligibility date of employees who 
are expected to qualify for these benefits.

12. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
A description of accounting standards adopted in 2021

The Corporation has adopted the following new and amended standards in 2021. 

Interbank Offered Rate (“IBOR”) Reform
In August 2020, the IASB published amendments to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition 
and Measurement, IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, IFRS 4, Insurance Contracts and IFRS 16, Leases.

The amendments address issues that arise from implementation of IBOR reform, where IBORs are replaced with alternative 
benchmark rates. For financial instruments at amortized cost, the amendments introduce a practical expedient such that if a 
change in the contractual cash flows is as a result of IBOR reform and occurs on an economically equivalent basis, the change 
will be accounted for by updating the effective interest rate with no immediate gain or loss recognized. The amendments also 
provide additional temporary relief from applying specific IAS 39, hedge accounting requirements to hedging relationships 
affected by IBOR reform. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial results. 

13. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES 
A description of Magellan’s disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting

Based on the current Canadian Securities Administrators (the “CSA”) rules under National Instrument 52-109 Certification of 
Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are required to certify as 
at December 31, 2021 that they are responsible for establishing and maintaining, and have assessed the design and operating 
effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. 

Management  does  not  expect  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  and  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  to  prevent 
all  errors,  misstatements  or  fraud.  In  addition,  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  that  management  has  designed  and 
established may be circumvented and rendered ineffective as a result of unauthorized acts of individuals through collusion or 
management override. A system of control, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, but not 
absolute, assurance that control objectives are met. Due to the inherent limitations in a system of control, there is no absolute 
assurance  that  all  controls  issues,  which  may  result  in  errors,  misstatements,  or  fraud,  can  be  prevented  or  detected.  The 
inherent limitations include, amongst other things: (i) management’s assumptions and judgements could ultimately prove to be 

17

MAGELLAN 2021 ANNUAL REPORT                                  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS December 31, 2021 incorrect under varying conditions and circumstances; (ii) the impact of isolated errors; (iii) assumptions about the likelihood of 
future events. 

In  preparation  for  this  certification,  Magellan  has  dedicated  resources  in  place  to  document  and  evaluate  the  design  and 
operating effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. As of December 
31,  2021,  an  evaluation  was  carried  out,  under  the  supervision  of  the  President  and  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  the  Chief 
Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting, as 
those terms are defined in National Instrument 52-109. Based on that evaluation, the Corporation’s management concluded that 
the Corporation’s design and operating disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting were 
effective as of December 31, 2021.

No changes were made in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2021, 
that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

December 31, 2021

To the Shareholders of  
Magellan Aerospace Corporation

Opinion 
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Magellan Aerospace Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Group), which 
comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the consolidated statements of (loss) 
income and comprehensive income (loss), consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated statements of cash flows 
for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. 

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

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

Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated 
financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of the audit of the consolidated financial 
statements as a whole, and in forming the auditor’s opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For 
each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements 
section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed 
to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, 
including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying 
consolidated financial statements.

20

MAGELLAN 2021 ANNUAL REPORT                              Key Audit Matter
Recognition of revenues on over time contracts

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

As detailed in Note 24 of the consolidated financial statements, a 
significant portion of the Group’s revenues are derived from over 
time contracts, specifically $307 million. The Group recognizes 
revenue for over time contracts using the input method, which 
recognizes revenue as performance of the contract progresses, 
measured by reference to the proportion of total expected costs 
to complete the contracts. The level of total expected costs to be 
incurred on each contract is estimated by the Group and includes 
certain significant judgements for those contracts open greater 
than one year that can have a material impact on the amount of 
revenue recognized in a reporting period as contracts run over 
several accounting periods. These significant judgements include 
those related to estimated future labour, materials and overhead 
costs for long-term contracts open at year-end. These judgements 
are subjective in nature and dependent on the complexity and 
status of the related contract as of the period end date.

We evaluated the contract judgements and estimates made by 
the Group in relation to the estimated costs to be incurred. For a 
sample of long-term contracts open at year-end, we performed 
the following audit procedures, among others:
—   Evaluated contractual arrangements, including pricing 
and billing terms, change orders and terms and conditions 
impacting revenue recognition, if any;

—   Obtained an understanding of the projects’ performance 
throughout the year and at year-end through inquiries with 
project managers from the contract project team;
 Evaluated the reasonableness of management’s assumptions 
for estimated costs to complete by comparing the key inputs 
in the initial budget with actual costs, and assessed trends 
based on our knowledge of similar projects; 

— 

—   Evaluated the reasonableness of management’s historical 
assumptions of estimated costs to complete by comparing 
previous cost estimation forecasts to actual results;

—   Obtained management’s calculation for estimated costs to 
complete, and agreed the costs to subsequently executed 
purchase orders or external price quotes; and
 Evaluated the appropriateness of accumulated costs related 
to claims and unapproved change orders that can result in 
additional charges or changes to contract revenues.

— 

We also assessed the adequacy of the related disclosures in the 
consolidated financial statements. 

21

MAGELLAN 2021 ANNUAL REPORT                              INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT December 31, 2021Key Audit Matter
Recoverability of Goodwill

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

As detailed in Note 10 of the consolidated financial statements, 
the Group has a goodwill balance of $22 million. The Group 
holds a significant amount of goodwill relating to the United 
Kingdom and United States of America acquisitions. As 
described in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements, 
the Group uses a discounted cash flow model to determine the 
recoverable amount for each impairment test on each of the two 
cash-generating units (“CGUs”) which contain goodwill. The 
estimated recoverable amounts are subjective due to the inherent 
uncertainty involved in forecasting and discounting future cash 
flows, more specifically surrounding future sales, growth rates, 
future operating expenditures, and discount rates.

We evaluated the estimates made by the Group in relation 
to the recoverability of goodwill. We considered the Group’s 
procedures used to develop the forecasts of each CGU’s 
discounted cash flow model compared to the requirements within 
IAS 36, Impairment of Assets. We performed the following audit 
procedures to evaluate those cash flows, among others: 
—   Compared the prior year expected future cash flows to the 
actual results to assess the Group’s budgeting process;
—   Compared assumptions on the future sales and growth 
rates in the forecasts to publicly available information such 
as trends in the Aerospace & Defense industry and publicly 
available information from the Group’s key customers; 
—   Reviewed available signed contracts to corroborate future 

— 

sales forecasts; 
 Assessed reasonableness of expenditures by performing an 
analysis of the forecasted future operating expenditures as 
compared to actual expenditures incurred and feasibility of 
any cost reduction plans to be implemented; and 

—   To the extent available subsequent to year-end, determined 
whether actual product sales patterns aligned with estimates 
used by management to establish the forecast.

With the assistance of our valuations specialists, we evaluated 
the Company’s impairment models, valuation methodology, and 
certain significant assumptions, including the pre-tax discount 
rates by comparing to externally derived data, such as bond 
yields and inflation statistics. 

We also assessed the adequacy of the related disclosures in the 
consolidated financial statements.

22

MAGELLAN 2021 ANNUAL REPORT                              INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT December 31, 2021Other information 
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises:

—  Management’s Discussion and Analysis
—  The information, other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon, in the Annual Report.

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

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information, and 
in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our 
knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. 

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

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

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

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

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

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgement 
and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: 

—   Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or 
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and ap-
propriate 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 Group’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 Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw 
attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are 
inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s 
report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. 

23

MAGELLAN 2021 ANNUAL REPORT                              INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT December 31, 2021—   Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, 
and  whether  the  consolidated  financial  statements  represent  the  underlying  transactions  and  events  in  a  manner  that 
achieves fair presentation. 

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

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

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

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most signifi-
cance in the audit of the 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 Ashraf Zineldin.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business
Magellan Aerospace Corporation (the “Corporation” or “Magellan”) is a publicly listed company incorporated in Ontario, Canada 
under the Ontario Business Corporations Act and its shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The registered and head 
office of the Corporation is located at 3160 Derry Road East, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, L4T 1A9.

The Corporation is a diversified supplier of components to the aerospace industry. Through its wholly owned subsidiaries, 
Magellan engineers and manufactures aeroengine and aerostructure components for aerospace markets, including advanced 
products for defence and space markets, and complementary specialty products. The Corporation also supports the aftermarket 
through the supply of spare parts as well as through repair and overhaul services.

Statement of Compliance
These consolidated financial statements are prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by 
the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). 

These  consolidated  financial  statements  were  authorized  for  issuance  by  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Corporation  on 
March 17, 2022.

Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments, 
which are measured at fair value. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared using IFRS principles applicable 
to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business as 
they come due. All amounts are presented in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated. 

The Corporation’s significant accounting policies are set out below. These accounting policies have been applied consistently 
to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements and by all entities.

Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Corporation include the assets and liabilities, and the results of operations and 
cash flows of the Corporation and its subsidiaries and the Corporation’s interest in its joint ventures. The consolidated financial 
statements of entities have a reporting date of December 31. Entities over which the Corporation has control are accounted 
for as subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Corporation is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement 
with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Where the Corporation has the ability 
to exercise joint control, the entities are accounted for as joint ventures and are incorporated into the consolidated financial 
statements using the equity method of accounting. Interests acquired in entities are consolidated from the date the Corporation 
acquires control and interests sold are de-consolidated from the date control ceases. Wholly owned operating subsidiaries of 
the Corporation are:

–  Magellan Aerospace Limited
–  Magellan Aerospace (UK) Limited
–  Magellan Aerospace USA, Inc.

The effects of intragroup transactions are eliminated. Trade receivables and accounts payable as well as expenses and income 
between the consolidated entities are netted. Internal sales are transacted on the basis of market prices and intragroup profits 
and losses are eliminated. 

Determination of Fair Value
Fair value is determined based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly 
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market 
participants would use when pricing an asset or liability. Fair value is determined by using quoted prices in active markets for 
identical or similar assets or liabilities. When quoted prices in active markets are not available, fair value is determined using 
valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs.

29

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) MAGELLAN 2021 ANNUAL REPORT                              When observable valuation inputs are not available, significant judgement is required to determine fair value by assessing the 
valuation techniques and valuation inputs. The use of alternative valuation techniques or valuation inputs may result in a different 
fair value.

Foreign Currency Translation
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Corporation’s functional currency. 

Foreign  currency  denominated  monetary  assets  and  liabilities  are  translated  at  the  rates  of  exchange  at  the  statement  of 
financial  position  date.  Foreign  currency  transactions  are  translated  into  the  functional  currency  using  the  exchange  rates 
prevailing at that date, whereas non-monetary items measured at historic cost, are translated using the exchange rate prevailing 
on the transaction date. Translation gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation 
of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in income. 

Assets and liabilities of foreign operations that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated 
using the closing exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date and revenues and expenses at average exchange rates during 
the period. Translation gains and losses on currency translation are recognized as a separate component of equity in other 
accumulated comprehensive income and do not have any impact on the net (loss) income for the year.

Segment Reporting
Management has determined the operating segments based on information regularly reviewed for the purposes of decision 
making, allocating resources and assessing performance by the Corporation’s chief operating decision makers. The Corporation 
evaluates the financial performance of its operating segments primarily based on net income before interest and income taxes.

Revenue Recognition
Revenue is primarily comprised of sales of goods and rendering of services and recognized when control of the goods or 
services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Corporation expects to be 
entitled  in  exchange  for  those  goods  or  services.  The  Corporation’s  revenue  recognition  methodology  is  determined  on  a 
contract-by-contract basis. 

Performance Obligation
A performance obligation is a contractual promise with a customer to transfer a distinct good or service and is the unit of 
account for revenue recognition.

The Corporation accounts for a contract with customers when it has approval and commitment from both parties, each party’s 
rights have been identified, payment terms are defined, the contract has commercial substance and collection is probable. The 
Corporation is the principal in its revenue arrangements because it typically controls the goods or services before transferring 
them to the customer. 

A contract transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the 
performance obligation is satisfied. The transaction price includes, among other things and when applicable, an estimate of 
variable consideration to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue 
recognized  will  not  occur  at  the  time  when  the  uncertainty  associated  with  the  variable  consideration  is  resolved.  Variable 
consideration is usually derived from sales incentives, in the form of discounts or volume rebates. The estimation of variable 
consideration is largely based on the assessment of the Corporation’s historical, current and forecasted information that is 
reasonably available.

For  contracts  with  multiple  performance  obligations,  the  contract  transaction  price,  including  variable  consideration  when 
applicable, is allocated based on the estimated relative stand-alone price of the promised goods or services underlying each 
performance obligation. The Corporation generally uses the expected cost plus a margin approach to estimate the stand-alone 
selling price of each performance obligation when a stand-alone selling price is not directly observable. 

The Corporation’s performance obligations are satisfied over time or at a point in time.

30

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) MAGELLAN 2021 ANNUAL REPORT                              Revenues from sale of goods are recognized over time when the Corporation’s performance does not create an asset with 
alternative use and the Corporation has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. The Corporation 
recognizes revenue over time using the cost-to-cost input method, which recognizes revenue as performance of the contract 
progresses. Contracts that do not meet the criteria for over time recognition are recognized at a point in time when the goods 
are dispatched or made available to the customer. The sale of consignment products are recognized on notification that the 
product has been used. 

Revenues from rendering services are recognized over time as customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits 
provided by the Corporation. The Corporation recognizes revenues for repair and overhaul services using the cost-to-cost input 
method as the basis for measuring the progress on the contract. 

Other revenues are recognized at a point in time or over time as performance obligations are satisfied, depending on the nature 
of the contract. 

The Corporation typically provides warranties for general repairs of defects that existed at the time of sale, as required by law. 
These assurance-type warranties are not separate performance obligations and are accounted for under IAS 37, Provisions, 
Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.

Contract Balances
Contract assets include unbilled amounts when over time method of revenue recognition is utilized and revenue recognized 
exceeds the amount billed to the customer, and right to payment is not just subject to the passage of time. Amounts may not 
exceed their net realizable value. Contract assets are generally classified as current. 

Contract liabilities consist of advance payments and deferred revenue. Contract assets and liabilities are reported in a net 
position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. Advance payments are classified as current or 
non-current based on the timing of when revenue is expected to be recognized. The current portion of contract liabilities is 
included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and provisions and the non-current portion is included in other long-term 
liabilities and provisions in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues consists of production-related manufacturing costs of products sold, development services paid, and the cost 
of products purchased for resale. In addition to the direct material cost and production costs, it also comprises systematically 
allocated overheads, including depreciation of production-related property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets, write-
downs on inventories and an appropriate portion of production-related administrative overheads.

Government Grants
Government grants are recognized at their fair value in the period when there is reasonable assurance that the conditions 
attached  to  the  grant  will  be  met  and  that  the  grant  will  be  received.  Grants  are  recognized  as  income  over  the  periods 
necessary  to  match  them  with  the  related  costs  that  they  are  intended  to  compensate.  Grants  relating  to  expenditure  on 
property, plant and equipment and on intangible assets are deducted from the carrying amount of the asset. The grant is 
therefore recognized as income over the life of the depreciable asset by way of a reduced depreciation charge. Repayable 
grants are treated as sources of financing and are recognized in borrowings subject to specific conditions in the consolidated 
statements of financial position. Repayments made are recorded as a reduction of the liability. 

Government Assistance
Government  assistance  is  comprised  of  investment  tax  credits  and  scientific  research  and  experimental  development  tax 
credits. These credits are recognized when there is reasonable assurance of their recovery using the cost reduction method. 
Investment tax credits are subject to the customary approvals by the pertinent tax authorities. Adjustments required, if any, are 
reflected in the year when such assessments are received.

Employee Benefits
Defined benefit plans
The Corporation’s obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is determined periodically by independent actuaries using the 
projected unit credit method in accordance with IAS 19, Employee Benefits. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in full 

31

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) MAGELLAN 2021 ANNUAL REPORT                              in the period in which they occur, and are recognized in other comprehensive income and immediately transferred to retained 
earnings. Past service cost is recognized immediately to the extent the benefits are already vested, or otherwise is recognized 
on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. Curtailments due to the significant reduction 
of the expected years of future services of current employees or the elimination of the accrual of defined benefits for some or 
all of the future services for a significant number of employees are recognized immediately as a gain or loss in the consolidated 
statements of (loss) income.

The defined benefit surplus or deficit represents the fair value of the plan assets less the present value of the defined benefit 
obligations. The recognition of a surplus has been limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of 
reductions in future contributions to the plan, based on the plan’s current funded status, the most recently filed actuarial report, 
and applicable pension legislation. Where a past service minimum funding requirement exists in a plan, an additional liability 
could arise for a plan, depending on the economic benefit available. A deficit is generally recognized in full.

Defined contribution plans
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognized as an expense in the consolidated statements of 
(loss) income as incurred.

Share-based compensation
The fair value of awards made under share-based compensation plans is measured at the grant date and allocated over the 
vesting period, based on the best available estimate of the number of share options expected to vest, in the consolidated 
statements of (loss) income with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured using an appropriate valuation 
model taking into account the terms and conditions of the individual plans. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted 
to reflect the actual awards vesting except where any change in the awards vesting relates only to market-based criteria not 
being achieved.

The cost of cash-settled transactions is measured initially at fair value at the grant date using a binomial model, taking into 
account the terms and conditions upon which the share awards were granted. This fair value is expensed over the period until 
the vesting date with recognition of a corresponding liability. The liability is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date up 
to and including the settlement date, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of (loss) income.

Taxation
The tax charge for the period consists of both current and deferred income tax. Taxation is recognized as a charge or credit in 
the consolidated statements of (loss) income except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly to equity in which 
case the related tax is also recognized in equity.

Current income tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year and any adjustment to tax payable in respect 
of previous years.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are established using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences 
between the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation 
purposes. Deferred tax liabilities are generally 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 deductible timing differences can 
be utilized. 

Deferred tax liabilities are not recognized for temporary differences arising on investment in subsidiaries where the Corporation 
is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not 
reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax is calculated at the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates that are 
expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realized. 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are only offset where they arise within the same entity and tax jurisdiction.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are presented as non-current.

32

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) MAGELLAN 2021 ANNUAL REPORT                              Net Income per Share
Net income per share is calculated based on the profit for the financial year and the weighted average number of common 
shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net income per share is calculated using the profit for the financial year adjusted 
for the effect of any dilutive instruments and the weighted average diluted number of shares (ignoring any potential common 
shares issued which would be anti-dilutive) during the year.

Inventories
Inventory is stated at the lower of average cost and net realizable value. 

The unit cost method is the prescribed cost method under which the actual production costs are charged to each unit produced 
and recognized to income as the unit is sold.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the 
estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories are written down to net realizable value when the cost of inventories is 
estimated to be unrecoverable due to obsolescence, damage or declining selling prices. When circumstances that previously 
caused inventories to be written down below cost no longer exist, the amount of the write-down previously recorded is reversed.

Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. Cost includes 
the purchase price (after deducting trade discounts and rebates), any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to the 
location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, and the estimate 
of the present value of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site. Subsequent costs are included in 
the assets carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic 
benefits associated with the item will flow to the Corporation and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying 
amount  of  the  replaced  part  is  derecognized.  The  cost  of  the  day-to-day  servicing  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  are 
recognized in the consolidated statements of (loss) income as incurred.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of property, plant and equipment to their residual 
values over their estimated useful lives.

Scheduled depreciation is based on the following useful lives:

Assets
Buildings
Machinery and equipment
Tooling
Leasehold improvements

in years
40
10-20
5-7
term of lease

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods pertaining to property, plant and equipment are regularly assessed 
for relevance, at least at every statement of financial position date, and adjustments are made when necessary. An asset’s 
carrying value is written down to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable 
amount. These impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of (loss) income. Following the recognition of 
an impairment loss, the depreciation charge applicable to the asset is adjusted prospectively in order to systematically allocate 
the revised carrying amount, net of any residual value, over the remaining useful life. 

Investment Properties
Investment property is property held to earn rental income and/or for capital appreciation rather than for the purpose of the 
Corporation’s  operating  activities.  Investment  property  assets  are  carried  at  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  and  any 
recognized  impairment  in  value.  The  depreciation  policies  for  investment  property  are  consistent  with  those  described  for 
property, plant and equipment. 

Intangible Assets
Externally  acquired  and  internally  generated  intangible  assets  are  recognized  only  if  they  meet  strict  criteria,  relating  in 
particular to technical feasibility, probability that a future economic benefit associated with the asset will flow to the entity and 
the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Expenditure on research activities is recognized as an expense in the period 
in which it is incurred.

33

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) MAGELLAN 2021 ANNUAL REPORT                              Intangible assets with a finite useful life are stated at cost and amortized on a unit of production basis. Gains or losses arising 
from de-recognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying 
amount of the asset, and are recognized in the consolidated statements of (loss) income when the asset is de-recognized. 

Leases
At inception of a contract, the Corporation assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is a lease if the 
contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset. Leases with a term of twelve months or less are not recorded 
by the Corporation on the consolidated statements of financial position. 

Lessee accounting
The Corporation records a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date based on the present value 
of the future lease payments over the lease term. 

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, 
the Corporation’s incremental borrowing rate. After the commencement date, the lease liability shall be remeasured to reflect 
changes to the lease payments. Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate are included in the measurement 
of the lease liability when information is available. The right-of-use asset is typically depreciated on a straight-line basis over the 
lease term, unless the Corporation expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease. 

Certain of the Corporation’s leases contain extension or renewal options. At lease commencement, the Corporation assesses 
whether it will be reasonably certain to exercise any of the extension options based on its expected economic return from the 
lease. The Corporation periodically reassesses whether it will be reasonably certain to exercise the options and accounts for 
any changes at the date of reassessment.

Lessor accounting
When the Corporation acts as a lessor, it assesses at lease inception whether the lease transfers to the lessee substantially 
all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If it does, the lease is a finance lease, if not, it is an 
operating lease.

Business Combinations and Goodwill
The Corporation accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method, under which the acquirer measures the 
cost of the business combination as the total of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of the assets transferred, liabilities 
incurred and equity instruments issued by the acquirer in exchange for control of the acquiree. Goodwill is measured as the 
fair  value  of  the  consideration  transferred,  including  the  recognized  amount  of  any  non-controlling  interest  in  the  acquiree, 
less the net recognized amount (generally the fair value) of the identifiable assets and liabilities assumed, measured as at the 
acquisition date. The primary items that generate goodwill include the value of the synergies between the acquired company 
and  the  Corporation  and  the  value  of  the  acquired  assembled  workforce,  neither  of  which  qualifies  for  recognition  as  an 
intangible asset. Goodwill is assigned to one or more cash-generating units (“CGU”) on the date of acquisition. Acquisition-
related expenses and post-acquisition restructuring costs are recognized separately from the business combination and are 
expensed as incurred. 

Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
The carrying amounts of the Corporation’s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at 
each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset or 
its CGUs recoverable amount is estimated. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are 
grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent 
of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs. Non-financial assets that have an indefinite useful life such as goodwill and certain 
intangible assets, are not subject to amortization and are therefore tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events 
or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. 

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. 
The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing 
value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects 
current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. For the purposes of goodwill 
impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to the CGU, or the group of CGUs, that is expected

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) MAGELLAN 2021 ANNUAL REPORT                              to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Each CGU or group of CGUs to which goodwill is allocated must represent 
the lowest level at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes and must not be, before allocating the 
goodwill, larger than an operating segment.

The Corporation’s corporate assets do not generate separate cash inflows and are utilized by more than one CGU. Corporate 
assets are allocated to CGUs on a reasonable and consistent basis and tested for impairment as part of the testing of the CGU 
to which the corporate asset is allocated.

Impairment losses are recognized in net income. Impairment losses recognized in respect of CGUs are allocated first to 
reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGUs, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other 
assets in the CGU or group of CGUs on a pro rata basis of the carrying amount of each asset of the CGU that is subject to 
the impairment test.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognized in prior 
periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment 
loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss 
is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been 
determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

Financial Instruments
The  Corporation  recognizes  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  (“financial  instruments”)  on  the  date  the  Corporation 
becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. A financial asset is derecognized either when the Corporation 
has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset or when cash flows expire. A financial 
liability is derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, canceled or expired. 

The Corporation’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, accounts payable and 
accrued liabilities, lease liabilities, bank indebtedness, long-term debt, borrowings subject to specific conditions, and other 
non-derivative and derivative financial assets and liabilities.

The classifications of financial instruments are typically determined at the time of initial recognition and are recognized at fair 
value, plus attributable transaction costs where applicable. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial instruments are classified 
and measured as described below.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Cash and cash equivalents and derivatives instruments are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 
and are measured at fair value. Cash equivalents are short-term investments with initial maturities of three months or less. The 
Corporation manages its foreign currency and interest rate exposures through the use of derivative financial instruments. The 
Corporation’s policy is not to utilize derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Corporation’s derivative 
contracts are not designated as hedges and as a result are presented on the consolidated statements of financial position as 
financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative. The unrealized gains or 
losses related to changes in fair value are reported in other expense (income) on the consolidated statements of (loss) income. 
Transaction costs incurred to acquire financial instruments are included in the underlying balance.

Financial instruments carried at amortized cost 
Financial instruments in this category include trade and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, bank 
indebtedness,  borrowing  subject  to  specific  conditions,  lease  liabilities  and  long-term  debt.  Financial  instruments  are 
recorded initially at fair value and, in the case of financial assets and liabilities carried at amortized cost, adjusted for directly 
attributable  transaction  costs.  Trade  and  other  receivables  include  originated  non-derivative  financial  assets  with  fixed  or 
determined  payments  that  are  not  quoted  in  an  active  market  and  are  subsequently  measured  at  amortized  cost  and  is 
computed using the effective interest method less any allowance for impairment. Accounts payables and accrued liabilities, 
bank indebtedness, borrowing subject to specific conditions, finance lease liabilities and long-term debt are subsequently 
measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account 
any discount or premium on acquisition and fees. The effective interest rate accretion is included as finance costs in the 
consolidated statements of (loss) income.

35

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) MAGELLAN 2021 ANNUAL REPORT                              Impairment
The expected credit loss impairment model applies to financial assets carried at amortized costs. The model uses a dual 
measurement approach, under which the loss allowance is measured as either 12 month expected credit losses or at the 
lifetime  expected  credit  losses.  The  Corporation  applies  the  simplified  approach  and  records  lifetime  expected  losses  on 
accounts  receivables  and  contract  assets  based  on  historical  credit  loss  experience,  adjusted  for  forward-looking  factors 
specific to the debtors and the economic environment. If in a subsequent year, the amount of the estimated impairment loss 
increases or decreases due to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment 
loss is increased or decreased by adjusting the carrying value of the financial assets. If a past write-off is later recovered, the 
recovery is recognized in the consolidated statements of (loss) income.

Provisions
A provision is recognized when there is a present legal or constructive obligation, as a result of a past event, which is more likely 
than not to result in an outflow of economic benefits and where a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. 
If the effect is material, the provision is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax risk-free rate and, 
where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. A provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the expected benefits 
to be derived from the contracts are less than the related unavoidable costs of meeting its obligations under the contract. Such 
provisions are recorded as write-downs of work-in-progress for that portion of the work which has already been completed, and 
as liability provisions for the remainder. 

Share Capital
Common shares are classified as equity. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares are recognized 
as a deduction from equity, net of any income taxes.

Estimates, Assumptions and Judgements
The  preparation  of  consolidated  financial  statements  requires  management  to  make  critical  judgements,  estimates  and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements 
and the reported amount of revenues and expenses recorded during the reporting period. The critical estimates and judgements 
utilized in preparing the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements affect the assessment of net recoverable amounts, net 
realizable values and fair values, depreciation and amortization rates and useful lives, value of intangible assets, ability to utilize 
tax losses and other tax measurements, determination of functional currency, determination of the degree of control that exists 
in determining the corresponding accounting basis, and the selection of accounting policies. Any changes in estimates and 
assumptions could have a material impact on the Corporation’s future income and/or the amounts reported in its statement 
of financial position. The Corporation reviews its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and uses the most current 
information available and exercises careful judgement in making these estimates and assumptions. 

The outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus “COVID-19” resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures 
to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine 
periods and social distancing, have caused a material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown 
and decreased demand in the aerospace industry. The introduction of vaccines has led to optimism; however, the situation 
continues to evolve (including the prevalence of virus variants). The duration and full financial effect of the COVID-19 pandemic 
is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions, the Corporation’s business continuity 
plan and other mitigating measures. 

In addition, the recent escalation in conflict between Russia and Ukraine (“Conflict”) and the resulting imposition of sanctions 
and counter sanctions have disrupted supply chains and caused instability in the global economy. The short and long-term 
implications  of  the  Conflict  are  difficult  to  predict  at  this  time.  The  ongoing  Conflict  could  result  in  the  imposition  of  future 
economic sanctions, which may have a greater adverse effect on economic markets and could result in an even greater impact 
related to global supply and pricing of electricity and materials.

36

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) MAGELLAN 2021 ANNUAL REPORT                              Any estimate of the length and severity of these developments is therefore subject to significant uncertainty, and accordingly 
estimates of the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and Conflict may materially and adversely affect the Corporation’s 
operations, financial results and condition in future periods are also subject to significant uncertainty. Therefore, uncertainty 
about judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management during the preparation of the Corporation’s consolidated 
financial statements related to potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and Conflict on revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities, 
and note disclosures could result in a material adjustment to the carrying value of the asset or liability affected.

The main assumptions and estimates that were used in preparing the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements relate to:

Financial instruments
The valuation of the Corporation’s derivative instruments and certain other financial instruments requires estimation of the fair 
value of each instrument at the reporting date. Details of the basis on which fair value is estimated are provided in note 22 to 
the consolidated financial statements.

Impairments
The recoverable amount of goodwill, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment is based on estimates and assumptions 
regarding the expected market outlook and cash flows from each CGU or group of CGUs. 

In order to estimate the fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill resulting from business combinations, the 
Corporation  typically  estimates  future  revenue,  considers  market  factors  and  estimates  future  cash  flows.  Based  on  these 
key assumptions, judgements and estimates, the Corporation determines whether to record an impairment charge to reduce 
the value of the asset carried on the consolidated statements of financial position to its estimated fair value. Assumptions, 
judgements and estimates about future values are complex and often subjective. They can be affected by a variety of factors, 
including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as changes in the Corporation’s 
business strategy or internal forecasts. Although the Corporation believes the assumptions, judgements and estimates made in 
the past have been reasonable and appropriate, different assumptions, judgements and estimates could materially affect the 
Corporation’s reported financial results. 

Deferred taxes
Income taxes are determined based on estimates of the Corporation’s current income taxes and estimates of deferred income 
taxes  resulting  from  temporary  differences.  Deferred  tax  assets  are  assessed  to  determine  the  likelihood  that  they  will  be 
realized from future taxable income before they expire.

Government assistance
Investment tax credits and scientific research and experimental development tax credits are determined based on estimates of 
the Corporation’s current year expenditures on qualifying programs. The investment tax credits are assessed to determine the 
likelihood that they will be applied against federal income taxes.

Capitalization of development costs
When capitalizing development costs the Corporation must assess the technical and commercial feasibility of the projects 
and estimate the useful lives of resulting products. Determining whether future economic benefits will flow from the assets and 
therefore the estimates and assumptions associated with these calculations are instrumental in (i) deciding whether project 
costs can be capitalized, and (ii) accurately calculating the useful life of the projects for the Corporation.

Leases
The Corporation determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an 
option to extend or terminate the lease. The lease term is estimated by considering the facts and circumstances that can create 
an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise the termination option. Both qualitative and quantitative 
assumptions are considered when deriving the value of the economic incentive.

The Corporation makes judgements in determining whether a contract contains an identified asset. The identified asset should 
be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of the asset, and should provide the Corporation with the right 
to substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset.

37

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) MAGELLAN 2021 ANNUAL REPORT                              Judgements are made by the Corporation in determining the incremental borrowing rate used to measure the lease liability for 
each lease contract, including an estimate of the asset-specific security impact. The incremental borrowing rate should reflect 
the interest rate that the Corporation would have to pay to borrow at a similar term and with a similar security.

Income (loss) on completion of contracts 
To estimate income (loss) on completion, the Corporation takes into account factors inherent to the contract by using historical 
and/or forecast data.

Repayable government grants
The forecast repayment of grants received from government authorities is based on future sales. As the forecast repayments 
are closely related to forecasts of future sales set out in business plans prepared by the operating divisions, the estimates and 
assumptions underlying these business plans are instrumental in determining the timing of these repayments.

Employee benefits
The Corporation considers a number of factors in developing the pension assumptions, including an evaluation of relevant 
discount rates, plan asset allocations, mortality, expected changes in wages and retirement benefits, analysis of current market 
conditions, economic benefits available and input from actuaries and other consultants. Costs of the programs are based on 
actuarially determined amounts and are accrued over the period from the date of hire to the full eligibility date of employees who 
are expected to qualify for these benefits.

2.  NEW AND AMENDED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORATING STANDARDS

New and Amended International Financial Reporting Standards Adopted in 2021
The Corporation has adopted the following new and amended standards in the current year. 

Interbank Offered Rate (“IBOR”) Reform
In August 2020, the IASB published amendments to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition 
and Measurement, IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, IFRS 4, Insurance Contracts and IFRS 16, Leases.

The amendments address issues that arise from implementation of IBOR reform, where IBORs are replaced with alternative 
benchmark rates. For financial instruments at amortized cost, the amendments introduce a practical expedient such that if a 
change in the contractual cash flows is as a result of IBOR reform and occurs on an economically equivalent basis, the change 
will be accounted for by updating the effective interest rate with no immediate gain or loss recognized. The amendments also 
provide additional temporary relief from applying specific IAS 39, hedge accounting requirements to hedging relationships 
affected by IBOR reform. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial results.

New and Amended International Financial Reporting Standards to be Adopted in 2022 or Later
The following new standards and amendments to existing standards were issued by the IASB and are expected to be adopted 
by the Corporation in 2022 or later. 

Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements
In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements (the “amendments”) to clarify the 
requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. More specifically, the amendments specify that the conditions 
which  exist  at the end  of  the  reporting  period  are  those  which  will be  used  to  determine  if a right  to  defer  settlement  of  a 
liability exists; management expectations about events after the balance sheet date, for example on whether a covenant will 
be breached, or whether early settlement will take place, are not relevant; and the amendments clarify the situations that are 
considered settlement of a liability. The new guidance will be effective for annual periods starting on or after January 1, 2023. 
The Corporation does not expect these amendments will have an impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) MAGELLAN 2021 ANNUAL REPORT                              Amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment
In May 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment – Proceeds before Intended Use, regarding 
proceeds from selling items produced while bringing an asset into the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of 
operating in the manner intended by management. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on 
or after January 1, 2022. The Corporation is currently assessing the potential impact on its consolidated financial statements. 

Amendments to IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
In May 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, clarifying the 
standard regarding costs a company should include as the cost of fulfilling a contract when assessing whether a contract is 
onerous. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The Corporation is 
currently assessing the potential impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 8 – Definition of Accounting Estimates, 
In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 8, in which it introduces a new definition of ‘accounting estimates’. The 
amendments clarify the distinction between changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting policies and the 
correction of errors. Also, they clarify how entities use measurement techniques and inputs to develop accounting estimates. 
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The Corporation is currently 
assessing the potential impact on its consolidated financial statements. 

Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 – Disclosure of Accounting Policies
In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2, 
Making Materiality Judgements (the PS), in which it provides guidance and examples to help entities apply materiality judgements 
to accounting policy disclosures. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. 
The Corporation is currently assessing the potential impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction – Amendments to IAS 12
In May 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 12, Income Taxes (“IAS 12”), which narrow the scope of the initial recognition 
exception under IAS 12, so that it no longer applies to transactions that give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary 
differences. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The Corporation 
is currently assessing the potential impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Technology rights relate to an agreement which permits the Corporation to manufacture aerospace engine components and 
share in the revenue generated by the final sale of the engine. 

The Corporation has certain programs that meet the criteria for deferral and amortization of development costs. Development 
costs are capitalized for clearly defined, technically feasible technologies which management intends to produce and promote 
to  an  identified  future  market,  and  for  which  resources  exist  or  are  expected  to  be  available  to  complete  the  project.  The

Corporation records amortization in arriving at the carrying value of deferred development costs once the development activities 
have been completed and sales of the related product have commenced. The Corporation estimates the intangible assets to 
be amortized over a period up to 20 years based on units of production.

Other intangibles relate to application software, customer lists, brands and technical processes. Application software will be 
amortized over a 10 year period, customer lists will be amortized over a 5 year period and technical processes will be amortized 
over a 15 year period. Brands of $8,953 (£5,226) with indefinite useful lives assets are not subject to amortization.

As described in note 1, the carrying values of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment 
annually. The Corporation’s impairment test for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives was based on the 
recoverable  amount  determined  on  its  value  in  use.  The  key  assumptions  used  to  determine  the  recoverable  amount  are 
discussed below. 

In  the  assessment  of  impairment,  management  used  industry  guidance,  historical  data  and  past  experience  as  the  key 
assumptions in the determination of the recoverable amount of the two CGUs. The value in use was determined based on the 
present value of the estimated free cash flows for the two CGUs. The cash flow projections, covering a five-year period plus a 
terminal year, were based on financial projections approved by management using assumptions that reflect the Corporation’s 
most likely planned course of action, given management’s judgement of the most probable set of economic conditions. The 
COVID-19  pandemic  and  its  impact  on  the  economy  are  expected  to  last  several  years.  These  projections  are  inherently 
uncertain and continually evolving in an unpredictable manner which present many variables and contingencies for modeling. 
A discount rate of 11.4% [2020 – 11%] and 9% [2020 – 9%] per annum was used for the two CGUs, respectively, based on 
management’s  best  estimate  of  the  Corporation’s  weighted  average  cost  of  capital  adjusted  for  the  risks  facing  the  CGU. 
Annual growth rate of 2% [2020 – 2%] and 3% [2020 – 3%] was used in the terminal year given the businesses’ anticipated 
growth. The Corporation completed the annual impairment test on October 1, 2021 and determined the recoverable amount for 
the two CGUs were higher than the carrying value. If the discount rate for the CGUs increased by 1%, the recoverable amount 
for both CGUs would be less than the carrying value. In 2020, the Corporation recorded a goodwill impairment loss of $12,046 
in the consolidated statements of (loss) income. 

11.  INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES

The Corporation has interests in a number of individually non-material joint ventures. The Corporation’s joint ventures are private 
entities that are not listed on any public exchange. All operations are continuing. To support the activities of certain joint ventures, 
the Corporation and the other investors in the joint ventures have agreed to make additional contributions, in proportion to their 
interests, to make up any losses, if required. In addition, profits of the joint ventures are not distributed until the parties to the 
arrangement provide consent for distribution. The Corporation has no share of any contingent liabilities or capital commitments 
in its joint ventures as at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

21.  STOCK– BASED COMPENSATION PLAN 

The Corporation has an incentive stock option plan, which provides for the granting of options for the benefit of employees 
and directors. The options include a cash option feature that allows option holders to elect to receive an amount in cash equal 
to the intrinsic value, being the excess market price of the common share over the exercise price of the option, instead of 
exercising the option and acquiring the common shares. Options are granted at an exercise price equal to the market price of 
the Corporation’s common shares at the time of granting. Options normally have a life of five years with vesting at 20.0% at the 
end of the first, second, third, fourth and fifth years from the date of the grant. In addition, certain business unit income tests 
must be met in order for the option holder’s entitlement to fully vest. As at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there 
were no options granted and outstanding. The maximum number of options for common shares that is available to be granted 
under this plan is 1,673,341. 

The Corporation has a deferred share unit plan (“DSU Plan”) for certain executive officers (“Officers”) which provides a structure 
for Officers to accumulate equity-like holdings in the Corporation. The DSU Plan allows certain Officers to participate in the 
growth of the Corporation by providing a deferred payment based on the value of a common share at the time of redemption. 
Each Officer receives deferred share units (“Units”) based on their annual management incentive compensation. The Units 
are issued based on the Corporation’s common share price at the time of issue. A third of the Units are vested and paid upon 
issuance and the remaining Units are vested and paid out equally on the anniversary date of issuance in the following two year 
periods or upon retiring. The cash value is equal to the common share price at the date of redemption, adjusted by any dividends 
paid on the common shares. For Units granted subsequent to May 1, 2016, a Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) performance 
element was introduced to reinforce the connection between remuneration and the interests of Shareholders, by motivating and 
rewarding participants for improving the long-term value of the Corporation. One third of the cash payment of the Units awarded 
for calendar 2016 and calendar years thereafter is made May 1 of the first calendar year following the date of the grant of the 
Units, another one third of cash payment is made May 1 of the second calendar year following the date of grant of the Units, 
and the remaining one third cash payment is made May 1 of the third calendar year following the date of grant of the Units. The 
number of Units that will actually vest ranges from 0% to 200% of the award remuneration granted and will be determined by the 
Corporation’s three year TSR relative to a comparator group. The value each Officer ultimately receives would be determined by 
the number of Units earned, multiplied by the fair market value of the common share at the end of the performance period. As at 
December 31, 2021, 81,512 Units were outstanding at an accrued value of $547 [December 31, 2020 – $431]. The Corporation 
recorded compensation expense in relation to the DSU Plan during the year of $115 [2020 reversal – $238]. 

22.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Categories of financial instruments
Financial instruments are classified into one of the following categories: financial assets/financial liabilities at fair value through 
profit or loss, and financial assets/financial liabilities at amortized costs.

All  financial  instruments,  including  derivatives,  are  included  on  the  consolidated  statement  of  financial  position,  which  are 
measured at fair value except for financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized costs. 

The carrying values of the Corporation’s financial instruments are classified as follows:

The Corporation has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:
–  Market risk
–  Credit risk
–  Liquidity risk

Market risk
Market  risk  is  the  risk  that  changes  in  the  market  prices,  such  as  foreign  exchange  rates  and  interest  rates,  will  affect  the 
Corporation’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The Corporation’s policy is not to utilize derivative 
financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Corporation may utilize derivative instruments in the management 
of its foreign currency and interest rate exposures.

The Corporation thoroughly examines the various financial instrument risks to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and 
likelihood of those risks. These risks may include currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Where material, 
these risks are reviewed and monitored by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

Currency risk
The Corporation operates internationally, which gives rise to a risk that its income, cash flows and shareholders’ equity may be 
adversely impacted by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Currency risk arises because the amount of the local currency 
receivable or payable for transactions denominated in foreign currencies may vary due to changes in exchange rate (“transaction 
exposures”) and because the non-Canadian dollar denominated financial statements of the Corporation’s subsidiaries may vary 
on consolidation into the reporting currency of Canadian dollars (“translation exposures”). The Corporation may use derivative 
financial instruments to manage foreign exchange risk with the objective of minimizing transaction exposures and the resulting 
volatility of the Corporation’s net income.

The most significant transaction exposures arise in the Canadian operations where significant portions of the revenues are 
transacted in US dollars. As a result, the Corporation may experience transaction exposures because of the volatility in the 
exchange rate between the Canadian and US dollar. Based on the Corporation’s current US denominated net inflows as of 
December 31, 2021, fluctuations of +/- 1% would, everything else being equal, have an effect on net income for the year ended 
December 31, 2021 of approximately +/- $289. The Corporation may experience translation exposures on the consolidation of 
its US and European subsidiaries. Fluctuations of +/- 1% in the US dollar and British pound would, everything else being equal, 
have an effect on other comprehensive income of approximately $4,745.

Interest rate risk
The Corporation is exposed to interest rate risk in its floating rate bank indebtedness. As at December 31, 2021, $7,307 of the 
Corporation’s total debt portfolio is subject to movements in floating interest rates. In addition, a portion of the Corporation’s 
trade receivables securitization programs are exposed to interest rate fluctuations. The objective of the Corporation’s interest 
rate management activities is to minimize the volatility of the Corporation’s income. The Corporation monitors its exposure to 
interest rates and has not entered into any derivative contracts to manage this risk. A fluctuation in interest rates of 100 basis 
points (1%) would have impacted the amount of interest charged to net income during the year ended December 31, 2021 by 
approximately +/- $125.

Credit risk
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents held with banks and financial institutions as well as credit exposure to clients, 
including outstanding trade receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial 
assets. The objective of managing credit risk is to prevent losses in financial assets. The Corporation is also exposed to credit 
risk from the potential default by any of its counterparties on its foreign exchange forward contracts. The Corporation mitigates 
this credit risk by dealing with counterparties who are major financial institutions that the Corporation anticipates will satisfy their 
obligations under the contracts.

The Corporation, in the normal course of business, is exposed to credit risk from its customers, substantially all of which are in 
the aerospace industry. The Corporation sells the majority of its products to large international organizations with strong credit 
ratings.  Therefore,  the  Corporation  is  not  exposed  to  significant  credit  risk  and  overall  the  Corporation’s  credit  risk  has  not 
changed significantly from the prior year.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) MAGELLAN 2021 ANNUAL REPORT                               
The carrying amount of trade receivables is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is 
recognized in the consolidated statements of (loss) income within administrative and general expenses. When a receivable 
balance is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. Subsequent recoveries of 
amounts previously written off are credited against administrative and general expenses. 

Derecognition of financial assets
The Corporation sells a portion of its trade receivables through securitization programs or factoring transactions. During 2021, 
the Corporation sold receivables to various financial institutions in the amount of $42,783 [2020 – $221,264] for a discount of 
$163 [2020 – $924] representing an annualized interest rate of 1.44% [2020 – 1.84%]. 

As at December 31, 2021, trade receivables include receivables sold and financed through securitization transactions of nil 
[2020 – $39,581] which do not meet the IFRS 9 derecognition requirements as the Corporation continues to be exposed to credit 
risk. These receivables are recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position even though they have been legally 
sold with a corresponding financial liability recorded in debt due within one year. 

Liquidity risk
The Corporation’s objective in managing liquidity risk is to ensure that there are sufficient committed loan facilities in order to 
meet its liquidity requirements at any point in time. The Corporation has in place a planning and budgeting process to help 
determine the funds required to support the Corporation’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis, taking into 
account its anticipated cash flows from operations and its operating facility capacity. The primary sources of liquidity are the 
operating credit facility, trade receivables securitization program and cash provided by operations. Based on current funds 
available and expected cash flow from operating activities, management believes that the Corporation has sufficient funds 
available to meet its liquidity requirements at any point in time. However, if cash from operating activities is lower than expected 
or capital costs for projects exceed current estimates, or if the Corporation incurs major unanticipated expenses, it may be 
required to seek additional capital in the form of debt or equity or a combination of both.

Fair values
The  Corporation  has  determined  the  estimated  fair  values  of  its  financial  instruments  based  on  appropriate  valuation 
methodologies;  however,  considerable  judgement  is  required  to  develop  these  estimates.  Accordingly,  these  estimated 
fair  values  are  not  necessarily  indicative  of  the  amounts  the  Corporation  could  realize  in  a  current  market  exchange.  The 
estimated fair value amounts can be materially affected by the use of different assumptions or methodologies. The methods 
and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are described as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities
Due to the short period to maturity of these instruments, the carrying values as presented in the consolidated statements of 
financial position are reasonable estimates of their fair values.

Foreign exchange contracts
The Corporation enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to mitigate future cash flow exposures in US dollars and British 
pounds. Under these contracts, the Corporation is obliged to purchase specific amounts at predetermined dates and exchange 
rates. These contracts are matched with anticipated operational cash flows in US dollars, British pounds and Euros. 

51

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) MAGELLAN 2021 ANNUAL REPORT                              As at December 31, 2021, the Corporation had forward foreign exchange contracts outstanding in the amount of $6,650 US 
dollars and £9,490 British pounds, of which the fair value is determined to be immaterial and categorized within Level 2 of the 
fair value hierarchy. There were no outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts as at December 31, 2020.

Long-term debt
As at December 31, 2021, the carrying amount of the Corporation’s long-term debt of $7,307 [2020 – $8,973] approximates its 
fair value. The fair value was determined by discounting the expected future cash flow based on current rate for debt with similar 
terms and maturities, and is categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. 

Borrowings subject to specific conditions
As  at  December  31,  2021,  the  Corporation  has  recognized  $25,428  [2020 – $26,110]  as  the  amount  repayable  to  Canadian 
government agencies. The contributions are repayable as future royalty payments; a liability is recorded for the amounts received 
that will be repaid based on future estimated sales. The fair value was determined by discounting the expected future royalty 
payments based on prevailing market rate for borrowings with similar terms and maturities, and is categorized as Level 2 in the 
fair value hierarchy.

Collateral
As at December 31, 2021, the carrying amount of all of the financial assets that the Corporation has pledged as collateral for its 
long-term debt facilities was $7,307 [2020 – 48,374].

Fair value hierarchy
The Corporation’s financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the consolidated statement of financial position have 
been categorized into three categories based on a fair value hierarchy. Fair value of assets and liabilities included in Level 1 
are determined by reference to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Assets and liabilities in Level 
2 include valuations using inputs other than the quoted prices for which all significant inputs are based on observable market 
data, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 valuations are based on inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market inputs whenever such inputs exist. A financial instrument is 
classified to the lowest level of the hierarchy for which a significant input has been considered in measuring fair value. 

23.  EMPLOYEE FUTURE BENEFITS

The Corporation provides retirement benefits through a variety of arrangements comprised principally of defined benefit and 
defined contribution plans that cover a substantial portion of employees in accordance with local regulations and practices. The 
most significant plans in terms of the benefits accrued to date by participants are career average and final average earnings 
plans and around 100% of the obligations accrued to date come from defined benefit plans in Canada.

Defined Benefit Plans
Canada
The Canadian defined benefit plans comprise of both career average and final average earnings plans which provide benefits 
to  members  in  the  form  of  a  guaranteed  level  of  pension  payable  for  life.  A  majority  of  the  plans  are  currently  closed  to 
new  entrants.  The  level  of  pensions  in  the  defined  benefit  plans  depends  on  the  member’s  length  of  service  and  salary 
at  retirement  age  for  final  average  earnings  plans  and  salary  during  employment  for  career  average  plans.  The  defined 
benefit pension plans require contributions to be made to a separate trustee-administered fund which is governed by the 
Corporation. The Corporation is responsible for the administration of the plans’ assets and for the definition of the investment 
strategy. The Corporation reviews the level of funding in the defined benefit pension plans on an annual basis as required 
by local government legislation. Such review includes the asset-liability matching strategy and investment risk management 
policy. Actuarial valuations are required at least every three years. Depending on the jurisdiction and the funded status of the 
plan, actuarial valuations may be required annually. The most recent actuarial valuations for the various pension plans were 
completed as at December 31, 2020, January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2019. 

52

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) MAGELLAN 2021 ANNUAL REPORT                              Contributions are determined by the appointed actuary and cover the going-concern normal costs and deficits (established 
under the assumption that the plan will continue to be in force) or solvency deficits (established under the assumption that 
the plan stops its operations and is being liquidated), as prescribed by laws and actuarial practices. Under the laws in effect, 
minimum contributions are required to amortize the going-concern deficits over a period of fifteen years and solvency deficits 
over a period of five years. Temporary solvency relief measures are in place that allow for the amortization of solvency deficits 
over a period of up to ten years. 

US
The US defined benefit plan provides benefits to members in the form of a guaranteed level of pension payable for life at 
retirement, and is currently closed to future accrual of benefits. The benefit payments are from a trustee-administered fund 
and plan assets held in trusts are governed by Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) regulations. Responsibility for governance 
of the plan, including investment decisions and contribution schedules, is also governed by IRS Regulations and lies with the 
Corporation. Actuarial valuations are required annually. Contributions are determined by appointed actuaries and cover normal 
cost and deficits as prescribed by law. Funding deficits are generally amortized over a period of seven years. The US defined 
benefit plan was fully wound up in 2020. 

Investment Policy
The  overall  investment  policy  and  strategy  for  the  defined  benefit  pension  plans  is  guided  by  the  objective  of  achieving 
an investment return which, together with contributions, ensures that there will be sufficient assets to pay pension benefits 
as  they  fall  due  while  also  mitigating  the  risks  of  the  plans.  See  below  for  more  information  about  the  Corporation’s  risk 
management initiatives.

The target asset allocation is determined based on expected economic and market conditions, the maturity profile of the plans’ 
liabilities, the funded status of the respective plans and the plan stakeholders’ tolerance to risk. Generally, the Corporation aims 
to have a portfolio mix of a combined 5% in money market securities, 20% in non-traditional equities, 30% in fixed income 
instruments and 45% in equity for the Canadian defined benefit plans and a portfolio mix of a combined 5% in cash, 20% in 
fixed income instruments, 60% in equity and 15% in alternative assets for the US defined benefit plan. As the plans mature and 
the funded status improves through cash contributions and anticipated excess equity returns, the Corporation intends to reduce 
the level of investment risk by investing in more fixed-income assets that better match the liabilities. 

Risk Management
The Corporation’s pension plans are exposed to various risks, including equity, interest rate, inflation, liquidity and longevity 
risks. Several risk strategies and policies have been put in place to mitigate the impact these risks could have on the funded 
status of defined benefit plans and on the future level of contributions by the Corporation. The following is a description of key 
risks together with the mitigation measures in place to address them. 

Equity risk
Equity risk is the risk that results from fluctuations in equity prices. This risk is managed by maintaining diversification of portfolios 
across geographies, industry sectors and investment strategies.

Interest rate risk 
Interest rate risk is the risk that results from fluctuations in the fair value of plan assets and liabilities due to movements in interest 
rates. This risk is managed by reducing the mismatch between the duration of plan assets and the duration of pension obligation. 

This is accomplished by having a portion of the portfolio invested in long-term bonds. A decrease in corporate and/or government 
bond yields will increase plan liabilities, which will be partially offset by an increase in the value of the plans’ bond holdings. 

Liquidity risk 
Liquidity risk is the risk stemming from holding assets which cannot be readily converted to cash when needed for the payment 
of benefits or to rebalance the portfolios. Liquidity risk is managed through investment in government bonds and equity futures. 

Longevity risk 
Longevity risk is the risk that increasing life expectancy results in longer-than-expected benefit payments resulting in an increase 
in the plans’ liabilities. This risk is mitigated by using the most recent mortality tables to set the level of contributions.

(unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) 

The Corporation obtains actuarial valuations for its accrued benefit obligations and the fair value of plan assets for accounting 
purposes under IFRS as at December 31 of each year. In addition, the Corporation estimates movements in its accrued benefit 
liabilities at the end of each interim reporting period, based upon movements in discount rates and the rates of return on plan 
assets, as well as any significant changes to the plans. Adjustments are also made for payments made and benefits earned.

Defined Contribution Plans
The Corporation’s management, administrative and certain unionized employees may participate in defined contribution pension 
plans. The Corporation contributes an amount expressed as a percentage of employees’ contributions with such percentage 
varying by group. 

The  Corporation’s  expenses  for  defined  contribution  plans  amounted  to  $6,421  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2021 
[2020 – $7,312].

Other Benefit Plan
The Corporation has another benefit plan in the US which includes retiree medical benefits that contribute to the health care 
coverage of certain employees and their beneficiaries after retirement. The other benefit plan is currently closed to new 
entrants. The post-retirement benefits cover all types of medical expenses including, but not limited to, cost of doctor visits, 
hospitalization, surgery and pharmaceuticals. The other benefit plan also provides for post-employment life insurance and 
compensated absences for eligible current employees, including vacation to be taken before retirement, if certain age and 
service requirements are met. The retirees contribute to the costs of the post-retirement medical benefits. The plan is not 
pre-funded and costs are incurred as amounts are paid.

The Corporation expects to contribute approximately $1,737 in 2022 to all its defined benefit plans in accordance with normal 
funding policy. Because of market driven changes that the Corporation cannot predict, the Corporation could be required to 
make contributions in the future that differ significantly from its estimates.

Significant assumptions and sensitivity analysis
The  significant  actuarial  assumptions  adopted  in  measuring  the  Corporation’s  accrued  benefit  obligations  represent 
management’s best estimates reflecting the long-term nature of employee future benefits and are as follows [weighted-average 
assumptions as at December 31]:

The discount rate assumption used in determining the obligations for pension and other benefit plans was selected based on 
a review of current market interest rates of high-quality, fixed rate debt securities adjusted to reflect the duration of expected 
future cash outflows for pension benefit payments. At December 31, 2021, a 1.0% decrease in the discount rate used (all other 
assumptions remaining unchanged) could result in a $16,352 increase in the pension benefit obligation with a corresponding 
charge recognized in other comprehensive income in the year.

The Corporation funds health care benefit costs, shown under other benefit plan, on a pay as you go basis. For measurement 
purposes, a 6.0% annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care and dental benefits was assumed for 
2022. The impact of applying a one-percentage-point increase or decrease in the assumed health care and dental benefit trend

Operating segments are defined as components of the Corporation for which separate financial information is available that 
is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in allocating resources and assessing performance. The chief 
operating decision maker of the Corporation is the President and Chief Executive Officer. The Corporation operates substantially 
all  of  its  activities  in  one  reportable  segment,  Aerospace,  which  include  the  design,  development,  manufacture,  repair  and 
overhaul, and sale of systems and components for defence and civil aviation. The Corporation evaluated the performance of 
its operating segments primarily based on net income before interest and income tax expense. The Corporation accounts for 
intersegment and related party sales and transfers, if any, at the exchange amount.

Special items are those items that in management’s view are to be separately disclosed by virtue of their size or incidence to 
enable a full understanding of the Corporation’s financial performance.

Impairment [note 10]
During 2020, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the state of the aerospace industry, management used a discounted 
cash flow model to assess the recoverability of goodwill at the Corporation’s CGUs. The unprecedented drop in air travel due 
to  the  COVID-19  pandemic  has  adversely  affected  the  Corporation’s  customers.  Therefore,  the  demand  for  products  and 
services provided by the Corporation’s CGUs is expected to be depressed for a period of time. As a result of the assessment, 
the Corporation recorded a $12,046 impairment charge against goodwill in 2020. There was no impairment recorded in 2021.

Workforce Reduction and Restructuring 
In 2020, as a result of COVID-19, Magellan undertook a workforce reduction achieved through layoffs, terminations of employment, 
early retirements and special leaves. A workforce reduction cost of $6,916 was recorded related to these measures.

The Corporation also committed to a plan to restructure its manufacturing divisions in Europe due to a decrease in demand 
as a result of a deterioration in economic conditions stemming from COVID-19. Following the announcement of the plan, the 
Corporation recognised a restructuring provision of $2,817 (£1,621) as at December 31, 2020 related to downsizing the employee 
base and engaging in other actions designed to reduce the cost structure and improve productivity. Asset impairment charges 
were also incurred for those assets made obsolete as a result of this plan. The closure costs recorded represent estimated 
expenses  required  to  restructure  operations  and  moving  costs  incurred.  Restructuring  liabilities  have  been  grouped  within 
current accounts payable, accrued liabilities and provisions on the consolidated statement of financial position.

Costs associated with the workforce reduction and plant closure are summarized in the table below:

Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy
In  April  2020,  the  Government  of  Canada  announced  the  Canada  Emergency  Wage  Subsidy  (“CEWS”)  in  order  to  help 
employers  retain  and/or  return  Canadian-based  employees  to  payrolls  in  response  to  challenges  posed  by  the  COVID-19 
pandemic. The program was redesigned in July 2020 and extended until October 2021. 

Magellan determined that it met the employer eligibility criteria and applied for the CEWS. In 2021, the Corporation has recorded 
and received a total gross subsidy under the CEWS program of $7,659 [2020 – $20,037], with $7,123 [2020 – $18,690], recorded 
as a reduction to operating expenses in cost of revenues and $536 [2020 – $1,347], recorded as a reduction of salaries, wages 
and benefits in administrative and general expenses.

Other comprehensive income includes unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses, which arise on the translation 
to Canadian dollars of assets and liabilities of the Corporation’s foreign operations and net actuarial losses on defined benefit 
pension plans, net of tax. The Corporation recorded unrealized currency translation loss for the year ended December 31, 2021 
of $7,339 [2020 –  $3,669] and net actuarial gain on defined benefit plans of $12,508 [2020 – net actuarial loss of $1,862]. These 
gains and losses are reflected in the consolidated statements of financial position and had no impact on net income for the year.

33.  MANAGEMENT OF CAPITAL

The Corporation’s objective is to maintain a capital base sufficient to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to 
sustain future development of the business. Management defines capital as the Corporation’s shareholders’ equity and interest 
bearing debt. 

As at December 31, 2021, total managed capital was $ 769,754 [2020 – $830,876], comprised of shareholders’ equity attributable 
to equity holders of the Corporation of $762,447 [2020 – $782,502] and interest-bearing debt of $7,307 [2020 – 48,374].

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) MAGELLAN 2021 ANNUAL REPORT                               
The Corporation manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of economic conditions, the risk characteristics 
of the underlying assets and the Corporation’s working capital requirements. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, 
the Corporation, upon approval from its Board of Directors, may issue or repay long-term debt, issue shares, repurchase shares 
through the normal course issuer bid, pay dividends or undertake other activities as deemed appropriate under the specific 
circumstances. The Board of Directors reviews and approves any material transactions out of the ordinary course of business, 
including proposals on acquisitions or other major investments or divestitures, as well as capital and operating budgets. Based 
on current funds available and expected cash flow from operating activities, management believes that the Corporation has 
sufficient funds available to meet its liquidity requirements at any point in time. However, if cash from operating activities is lower 
than expected or capital costs for projects exceed current estimates, or if the Corporation incurs major unanticipated expenses, 
it may be required to seek additional capital in the form of debt or equity or a combination of both. There were no changes in the 
Corporation’s approach to capital management during the year. 

The Corporation must adhere to covenants in its operating credit facility. As at December 31, 2021, the Corporation was in 
compliance with these covenants.

34.  CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS

In the ordinary course of business activities, the Corporation may be contingently liable for litigation and claims with, among 
others, customers, suppliers and former employees. Management believes that adequate provisions have been recorded in 
the accounts where required. Although, it is not possible to accurately estimate the extent of the potential costs and losses, if 
any, management believes, but can provide no assurance, that the ultimate resolution of such contingencies would not have a 
material adverse effect on the financial position of the Corporation.

As at December 31, 2021, capital commitments in respect of purchase of property, plant and equipment totalled $4,948, all of 
which had been ordered. There were no other material capital commitments at the end of the year.
