LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Magellan closed 2022 with $764.6M in 
revenue, which was up by 11% as compared to 
$688.4M in 2021. Notwithstanding this growth 
in revenue, we incurred a net loss of $21.7M for 
the 2022 fiscal year.

Despite a growing demand for new 
commercial and defence aircraft, major aircraft 
OEM’s have been pulling back on planned 
build rate increases due to ongoing supply 
chain shortages of labour and materials. 
There is concern that this situation will persist 
throughout 2023. Increases in the rate of 
inflation is also a concern for the industry 
as increasing prices have heightened the 
pressure on cost structures, particularly where 
contract terms limit the ability of suppliers and 
manufacturers to pass on related increases. 

Magellan implemented various cost 
containment strategies in 2022 including 
negotiating with suppliers and customers to 
find commercial solutions to help mitigate 
the impact of inflation and supply disruptions 
upon our operations. A number of these 
efforts were successfully concluded by the 
close of 2022 while others extend into 2023. 
We also negotiated a number of agreements 
for new strategic programs and key long-term 
contract renewals during the year. However, 
more price changes are targeted and 
required under other agreements.

In 2022, we reimagined some of our facilities in 
order to improve operations and create more 
efficient work spaces. At our UK operations we 
embarked upon a new operational excellence 
program which focused on transformational 
improvements within a number of targeted 
work streams. We are exploring where a like 
approach could yield gains elsewhere within 
the Corporation.

The aerospace industry was dramatically 
impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and 
now while the market is on the rebound, the 
industry is suffering from lingering effects of 

We embarked upon a

improvements 

the pandemic and inflation. Magellan has 
been proactively taking actions to reduce 
the impact these effects are having upon our 
operations and we continue to navigate this 
volatile period of time. The clear objective is to 
maintain the health of our business and be in 
a position to exploit the growth potential that 
exists in both the commercial and defence 
aerospace sectors. 

On behalf of the board and management 
of Magellan, I would like to thank all our 
employees and shareholders for their 
ongoing support.

1. OVERVIEW
A summary of Magellan’s business and significant 2022 events

Magellan is a diversified supplier of components to the aerospace industry. Through its wholly owned subsidiaries and controlled 
entity,  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. 

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. 

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.

MAGELLAN 2022 ANNUAL REPORT                              MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS December 31, 2022  
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 and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine
The COVID-19 pandemic and its variants continued to disrupt global health and impact economic conditions. Though global 
air travel has seen signs of recovery, Magellan’s financial results and operations continued to be impacted by the COVID-19 
pandemic by way of production schedule changes, either by its customers’ build rate adjustments or due to a broader government 
directive which resulted in the need to modify work practices to meet appropriate health and safety standards, or by other 
COVID-19 related impacts on the availability of labour or to the supply chain. While governments have eased some COVID-19 
restrictions, 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. Magellan continues to monitor ongoing developments and attempts to mitigate the 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.

The ongoing invasion of Ukraine by Russia continues to disrupt supply chains and cause instability in the global economy. The 
extent and potential magnitude of economic impacts on the aerospace industry remains uncertain.

In 2022, 62% of revenues were derived from commercial markets (2021–52%, 2020–54%) while 38% of revenues related to 
defence markets (2021–48%, 2020–46%).

2022 and Recent Updates 
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, 
altitude control, orbit determination, and on-board telemetry data collection. Key avionics deliverables include Magellan’s Power 
Control Unit and Command and Data Handling Unit.

On April 26, 2022, Magellan announced that it had signed a long-term agreement with General Electric Aviation (“GE”) for the 
repair and overhaul of major components for the GE F414-GE-400 engine, which powers Boeing’s F/A-18 Block III Super Hornet 
fighter jet. Finished components will be delivered from Magellan’s facility in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The five-year agreement is the 
latest milestone in a strong and continuing relationship between the companies that dates back more than 50 years.

On  May  2,  2022,  Magellan  announced  it  had  reached  a  five-year  agreement  with  Safran  Landing  Systems  (“Safran”)  to 
manufacture complex machined landing gear components. The agreement included the continued manufacture and processing 
of Magellan’s current work statement and additional new components, all for commercial aircraft platforms. Deliveries will take 
place  from  Magellan’s  North  American  facilities  in  New  York,  New  York  and  Kitchener,  Ontario.  Magellan  and  Safran  have 
established a solid working relationship over the years, delivering quality and on-time landing systems for major customers. 
Magellan provides complex hard metal machining expertise and engineering design input, in supporting the Safran team on 
new product developments.

On May 17, 2022, Magellan and RocketFrac Services Ltd. (”RocketFrac”) announced, a contract for the manufacture of charges 
for  an  innovative  new  fracturing  technology  that  uses  solid  rocket  propellant  as  an  alternative  to  using  hydraulic  fracking. 
RocketFrac and Magellan partnered to develop a new fracturing technology that couples RocketFrac’s patent-pending downhole 
tool with a new and specifically formulated propellant under an exclusive global license from Magellan. All of the charges will be

manufactured and delivered from Magellan’s Winnipeg facility by the end of the first quarter of 2023. The oil and gas sector is 
actively pursuing new technologies that can address concerns with water use, groundwater protection, and other environmental 
concerns that are common to traditional hydraulic fracturing. The RocketFrac tool is designed to apply the pressure generated 
by the solid propellant to a specific portion of the well. This approach requires no water and increases production mobility via 
radial fracturing of the rock.

On May 25, 2022, Magellan announced that the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) accepted the notice filed by Magellan to 
make a Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”) to purchase up to 2,886,455 of the Corporation’s issued and outstanding common 
shares  for cancellation through the facilities of the TSX or alternative trading systems, during the 12 month period commencing 
on May 21, 2022, and ending on May 26, 2023.

On October 11, 2022, Magellan announced a contract award from Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (“Sikorsky”), a Lockheed 
Martin Company, for low rate initial production (“LRIP”) of assemblies to support the production of the CH-53K® LRIP 
configuration helicopter. The multi-year, multi-million dollar agreement will be delivered from Magellan’s New York facility 
commencing in 2023. The contract consists of hard metal, machined deliverables for the U.S. Marine Corps (“USMC”) 
for the production of the CH-53K King Stallion, the next generation heavy-lift helicopter being produced to replace the 
CH-53E Super Stallion. The CH-53K achieved initial operating capability in 2022 and is on track to deploy to the fleet in 
2024. The Marine Corps plans to deploy the first CH-53K Marine Expeditionary Unit detachment in fiscal year 2024. The 
USMC’s procurement objective is 200 helicopters.

On November 22, 2022, Magellan announced the award of a multi-year contract from Lockheed Martin Corporation (“LMCO”) 
for complex machined titanium components for all three variants of the F-35 aircraft. This multi-million dollar contract will be 
carried out at Magellan Aerospace’s facility in Kitchener, Ontario over the period of 2023 to 2027. The contract is for shipsets of 
machined wing tie bars for the aircraft’s leading edge flap. Magellan’s Kitchener facility has industry-leading expertise in titanium 
machining operations and world-class machining capability, with an emphasis on high speed machining of hard metals such 
as titanium, inconel and stainless steel. This latest contract is a continuation of a long-established relationship with LMCO on 
the global F-35 fighter aircraft program. Magellan’s Kitchener facility was the first international partner on the F-35 program to 
deliver parts to the program in late 2003. Prior to these deliveries, Kitchener had made significant investment in both equipment 
and technology that proved to be pivotal in securing its role on the program.

On December 9, 2022, Magellan announced that it will continue producing F-35 Lightning II (“F-35”) horizontal tail assemblies 
under an agreement with BAE Systems. This significant, multi-year agreement is the continuation of contract awards made to 
Magellan by BAE Systems and will further Magellan’s participation on the global program. Magellan and BAE Systems have 
been working together to produce horizontal tails for the global F-35 program for more than a decade, signing the original 
Letter of Intent for this agreement in 2006. Both companies have since made significant investment in facilities, technologies 
and training to ensure the successful delivery of these flight-critical assemblies to F-35 prime contractor Lockheed Martin. The 
horizontal tail assemblies produced at Magellan’s facility in Winnipeg, Manitoba, will be used on the Conventional Takeoff and 
Landing variant of the F-35. Magellan is targeting to produce more than 1,000 ship sets of horizontal tail assemblies over the life 
of the F-35 program.

Labour Matters
The  Corporation  employs  3,500  employees;  of  these,  approximately  1,400  are  unionized  and  are  covered  by  collective 
bargaining agreements. 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
The  Corporation  has  a  multi-currency  global  operating  credit  facility  provided  by  a  syndicate  of  lenders  to  Magellan  for  a 
maximum aggregate amount of $75 million under the Bank Credit Facility Agreement. The Bank Credit Facility Agreement also 
includes a $75 million uncommitted accordion provision, which provides Magellan with the option to increase the maximum 
aggregate amount of the credit to $150 million. The Bank Credit Facility Agreement expires on June 30, 2023. Any extensions of 
the maturity date are subject to mutual consent of the lenders and the Corporation.

The outlook for Magellan’s business in 2023

The International Air Transport Association (“IATA”) reported that 2022 ended with domestic Revenue Passenger Kilometers 
(“RPK’s”)  recovered  to  79.6%  of  pre-pandemic  levels,  up  10.9%  year-on-year  (“YoY”)  from  2021  levels.  International  RPK’s 
recovered to 62.2% of 2019 traffic levels and grew 152.7% YoY from 2021. 

Following a challenging 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, commercial aircraft manufacturing began to recover in 2021 and 
continued to do so in 2022. The rate of recovery has been impacted by supply chain shortages of labour and materials. Soaring 
inflation is also a concern for the industry as increasing prices have heightened the pressure on cost structures.

Airbus and Boeing delivered 663 and 480 aircraft in 2022 respectively. Airbus’ gross order intake totaled 1,078 aircraft and with 
cancellations of 258, they ended the year with net orders of 820 aircraft. Boeing booked 935 gross aircraft orders, received 
cancellations of 161 aircraft and therefore netted 774 aircraft orders in 2022. Airbus ended 2022 with total unfilled orders of 
7,239 aircraft verses 7,082 at December 31, 2021, while Boeing ended with 5,430 unfilled aircraft orders in 2022 compared to 
5,136 a year earlier. Airbus is expected in 2024 to surpass its all time record high of 863 aircraft deliveries set in 2019. Boeing 
is predicted to exceed their pre COVID-19 level of 806 aircraft deliveries in 2025. 

Airbus reached a build rate of 48 aircraft per month on their single aisle A320 aircraft in 2022. Production is expected to continue 
increasing in 2023 and reach a monthly rate of 65 aircraft by late 2024, which was pushed back from mid-2023 due to supply 
chain challenges. Airbus also confirmed 75 aircraft per month in 2026. Airbus ended 2022 with A330 production at 3 aircraft 
per month and is moving to 4 aircraft per month in 2024. A350 production is expected to increase from 6 aircraft per month to 9 
aircraft per month by the end of 2025. The A220 is currently being produced at 6 aircraft per month.

Boeing planned to increase 737 single aisle build rates to 38 aircraft per month in the first half of 2023 however they were forced 
to delay those plans due to the supply chain constraints. The program is stabilizing at a production rate of 31 aircraft per month 
with plans now to ramp production to approximately 50 aircraft per month in the 2025/2026 timeframe. Boeing’s new 737 MAX-7 
and MAX-10 aircraft faced potentially significant certification delays due to a 2022 year-end deadline, beyond which new aircraft 
must  comply  with  new  standards  issued  following  the  two  MAX  aircraft  accidents.  Fortunately  for  Boeing  and  the  industry, 
the US Senate granted an exemption allowing them to continue working with the FAA on certifying the MAX-7 and MAX-10 
conditional upon making changes to the engine and crew alerting systems.

In 2022, Boeing pushed out the certification date of their 777X aircraft to 2025 due to an updated assessment of the time 
required to meet its requirements. Meanwhile, they are building the freighter version at 2 aircraft per month. Boeing continues 
building their 787 aircraft at a low production rate of 2 aircraft per month and is expected to go to 5 aircraft per month in late 2023, 
and then 10 aircraft per month in the 2025/2026 timeframe.

The defence industry has not been immune to the challenges faced by commercial aerospace. Defence OEM’s have been 
similarly forced to limit build rate increases due to supply chain constraints. Meanwhile, global defence spending increased by 
almost 5% annually over the last few years and is expected to continue to increase from 3% to 5% annually over the next 5 years 
amid global tensions.

Late in 2022, the US Army announced a major decision under its Future Vertical Lift program to purchase Bell Helicoptor’s 
(“Bell”) V-280 Valor tiltrotor aircraft as a replacement to UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters built by Sikorsky. This was a significant 
win for Bell as the US Army currently operates approximately 2,300 UH-60 Blackhawk’s. Sikorsky entered the competition 
with their SB-1 Defiant helicopter, built jointly with partner Boeing Defense.

The F-35 program celebrated key wins in 2022 with Switzerland and Finland announcing their new contracts, Canada committing 
to purchase 88 fighters, and NATO allies Greece and the Czech Republic indicating their desire to purchase the fighter. Lockheed 
is suggesting a steady annual production rate of 156 aircraft will start in the 2024 time frame based on anticipated supply chain 
recovery. Lockheed delivered 141 aircraft in 2022.

Despite a growing demand for new commercial and defence aircraft, there is ongoing concern over aircraft build rates being 
paced by the supply chain. There is also concern over inflation and the economy putting pressure on cost structures already

strained by the pandemic. From a positive perspective however, air travel continues on a path towards pre-pandemic levels 
which is triggering airlines to increase order placements for new aircraft. Forecasts of defence market growth potential over the 
next 5 years is also positive. Together the two market segments offer an encouraging outlook for aerospace manufacturers as 
the industry navigates its way through this volatile period of time.

For 2022, overall aerospace manufacturing activity has begun to recover but supply chain shortages and inflationary 
pressures which began in 2021 continued in 2022 to adversely impact the Corporation’s results. Revenues for the 
year ended December 31, 2022, increased from both 2021 and 2020 levels. The increase in revenues from 2021 
was primarily attributable to increased volumes for space, single aisle and casting products and favorable foreign 
exchange  impacts.  These  increases  were  offset  in  part  by  volume  decreases  for  certain  programs  that  resulted 
from scheduling changes. Net income decreased in 2022 from 2021 mainly due to lower gross profit as a result of 
production inefficiencies and higher material and manufacturing costs, higher administrative and general expenses 
and higher restructuring charges in the year. 

During 2022 and 2021, the Corporation paid dividends on common shares of $0.26 per share and $0.42 per share, 
amounting to $15.0 million and $24.2 million, respectively, in total for the year. 

4. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
A discussion of Magellan’s operating results for 2022 and 2021

Consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022 were $764.6 million, an 11.1% increase from the $688.4 million 
achieved  last  year.  Gross  profit  and  net  loss  were  $35.1  million  and  $21.7  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2022, 
respectively, in comparison to gross profit of $48.3 million and net loss of $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Revenue  in  Canada  increased  4.4%  in  2022  compared  to  the  prior  year  mainly  due  to  increased  volumes  for  space, 
proprietary and casting products and favourable foreign exchange impact driven by the strengthening of the United States 
dollar relative to the Canadian dollar. These increases were offset in part by volume decreases for certain programs as a 
result of scheduling changes.

MAGELLAN 2022 ANNUAL REPORT                              MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS December 31, 2022  
 
Revenue in the United States in 2022 was 9.0% higher than 2021 largely due to the favourable foreign exchange impact of 
the strengthening of the United States dollar relative to the Canadian dollar and increased volumes for single aisle aircraft and 
spare parts as Boeing continued to ramp up production for the 737 MAX, offset in part by volume decreases for wide-body 
aircraft products.

European revenue in 2022 increased 23.5% compared to the corresponding year in 2021 primarily driven by build rate recovery 
for single aisle aircraft, and the favourable foreign exchange impact resulting from the strengthening of the United States dollar 
relative to the British pound.

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 2021 remained constant in 2022, consolidated revenues for 
2022 would have been lower by 2.3%.

Gross profit was $35.1 million in 2022, $13.2 million lower than 2021 of $48.3 million. Gross profit, as a percentage of revenues 
was 4.6%, a decrease of 34.3% from 7.0% recorded in 2021. The decrease in profitability is mainly the result of the effect of 
inflation in material, supplies, utilities and labour; and supply chain disruptions which impacted production of goods resulting in 
production system inefficiencies and lower absorption of manufacturing costs.

to higher salaries and benefits, increased travel following easing of COVID restrictions, and consulting services.

Included in other is a foreign exchange gain of $2.3 million in 2022 compared to a gain of $2.5 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 loss was recorded in 2022 relating to the settlement of various 
pension obligations. In 2021, a $0.6 million gain was recorded relating to the disposal of investment properties.

Total interest costs of $2.8 million for 2022 decreased by $0.1 million from $2.9 million in 2021, primarily due to lower accretion 
charges  on  long-term  debt  and  lease  liabilities  as  principal  amounts  decreased,  lower  discounts  on  sale  of  accounts 
receivables  due  to  lower  volume  of  receivables  sold  in  the  year  offset  in  part  by  higher  interest  on  bank  indebtedness

The  Corporation  recorded  an  income  tax  expense  of  $3.1  million  in  2022  on  pre-tax  loss  of  $18.6  million,  representing  an 
effective tax rate of (16.6%), compared to an income tax expense of $2.8 million on pre-tax income of $1.9 million, representing 
an effective tax rate of 152.3% in 2021.

During 2022 and 2021, the Corporation recognized investment tax credits totaling $1.8 million and $1.6 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 the 
recognition of a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets of $6.7 million, 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 (LOSS) 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 
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 $23.3 million or 39.6% to $35.5 million for the year ended 2022, compared to $58.8 million in 
2021 mainly as a result of lower net income and lower depreciation and amortization expenses. In 2022, certain facilities of 
the Corporation continue to experience supply chain disruptions and inflationary cost pressures which is lowering EBITDA 
results. In addition, lower pre-COVID production volumes has resulted in lower absorption of manufacturing costs further 
lowering 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 loss 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 1.3580 in the fourth quarter of 2022 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 1.5350 in the third quarter of 2022. 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 1.1649 in the third quarter 
of 2022. Had exchange rates remained at levels experienced in 2021, reported revenues in 2022 would have been higher by 
$0.5 million in the first quarter of 2022 and lower by $5.4 million, $5.4 million and $7.7 million for the second, third and fourth 
quarters of 2022, respectively.

Revenues  and  net  income  were  also  negatively  impacted  by  the  continued  effects  from  the  COVID-19  pandemic,  driving 
reduced volumes and supply chain disruptions. In addition, inflation on material, supplies, utilities and labour impacted the 
results in the current quarter. Since the third quarter of 2021, the Corporation began to see modest sequential growth in revenue 
as global domestic air travel continues to recover to pre COVID-19 levels. 

In response to COVID-19, the Corporation applied and recognized the CEWS subsidy of $3.9 million and $3.8 million in the 
second and fourth quarters of 2021, and reduced the expense that the subsidy offsets (none in 2022). In the fourth quarter of 
2022, the Corporation continued the restructuring efforts in Europe of a plan initiated in 2020 to lower its production cost base 
and recognized a $2.8 million restructuring charge, including a $1.8 million impairment loss related to assets made obsolete as 
a result of the plan.

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 2022, $58.5 million of cash was generated by operations, $23.9 million was used in investing activities and $26.3 million was 
used in financing activities.

The Corporation generated $58.5 million in 2022 from operating activities, compared to $12.5 million in the prior year. Changes 
in non-cash working capital items generated cash of $30.2 million in 2022 as compared to $33.8 million used in the prior year. 
The favourable movement of non-cash working capital balances was largely attributable to increases in accounts payable, 
accrued  liabilities  and  provisions  primarily  driven  by  timing  of  material  purchases  and  supplier  payments,  offset  in  part  by 
increases in accounts receiveable from timing of customer payments and increases in inventories due to timing of production 
and shipment, and material purchases.

due to higher levels of investment in property, plant and equipment offset in part by decreases in long-term receivables and 
deposits recorded in other assets.

debt and lease liability obligations. In 2021, a large repayment of debt due within one year was incurred as the Corporation 
wound down its accounts receivable securitization program, and the payment of common share dividends.

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, 2022, the Corporation had made contractual commitments to purchase $6.7 million of capital assets. 
In addition, the Corporation had purchase commitments, largely for materials required for the normal course of operations, 
of $312.7 million as at December 31, 2022. 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 9, 2023, 57,446,134 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, 2022.

For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2022  and  2021,  the  Corporation  paid  quarterly  dividends  on  its  common  shares 
ranging between $0.025 to $0.105 per common share, representing an aggregate dividend payment of $15.0 million and 
$24.4 million, respectively.

In the first quarter of 2023, the Corporation declared dividends of $0.025 per common share payable on March 31, 2023, to 
shareholders of record at the close of business on March 17, 2023.

Normal Course Issuer Bid
On May 25, 2021, the TSX accepted the Corporation’s application to commence a NCIB which allowed the Corporation to 
repurchase through the facilities of the TSX and alternative Canadian trading platforms up to 2,886,455 common shares. The 
program commenced on May 27, 2021 and ended on May 26, 2022. On May 25, 2022, the Corporation’s application was  
re-approved for a NCIB to purchase up to 2,886,455 common shares, over a 12-month period commencing May 27, 2022

2022, 282,972 shares were purchased for cancellation for $2.1 million at a volume weighted average price paid of $7.29 per 
common 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. The Corporation has applied IFRS 9 on a prospective basis for hedge accounting. The 
Corporation’s qualifying hedging relationships as at December 31, 2022 qualified for hedge accounting in accordance with IFRS 
9 and were therefore regarded as continuing hedging relationships. As the critical terms of the hedging instruments match those 
of their corresponding hedges items, all hedging relationships continue to be effective under IFRS 9’s effectiveness assessment 
requirements.  As  at  December  31,  2022,  the  Corporation  entered  into  forward  foreign  exchange  contracts  to  purchase  US 
dollars of $14.4 million and British Pounds of £23.5 million over a period of one month commencing December of 2022 at an 
exchange rate of $1.3559 and $1.6311 Cdn, respectively. 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, and British pounds. The Corporation conversely entered into foreign currency collar contracts as follows:

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

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.

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, inflation, 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, pandemics and other events outside of our control. 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 
remains uncertain. There are also significant uncertainties surrounding the economic impacts of the war in Ukraine, continued 
inflationary pressures on the price the Corporation pays for the goods and services it acquires or contracts, and the possibility 

13

MAGELLAN 2022 ANNUAL REPORT                                  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS December 31, 2022 of an economic recession. Such economic uncertainties 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. 

Pandemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic, have caused, and may in future cause disruptions in the Corporation’s operations, 
market volatility and economic disruption, which could adversely affect the Corporation’s results.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect the Corporation due to the uncertainty it has caused in the global economy, 
impacts  on  global  air  transportation  environment,  air  passenger  travel  and  Magellan’s  business.  Pandemics  such  as  the 
COVID-19 pandemic create significant volatility and uncertainty and economic disruption. A pandemic poses the risk that the 
Corporation and its business partners may be prevented from, or restricted in, conducting business activities for an indefinite 
period, due to the transmission of the disease or to emergency measures or restrictions that may be requested or mandated 
by governmental authorities. 

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, global equity and capital markets have experienced and may continue to experience 
significant  volatility  and  weakness.  Governments  and  central  banks  have  reacted  with  significant  monetary  and  fiscal 
interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic are unknown, 
as are the efficacy and duration of government and central bank interventions. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic 
may impact the Corporation’s future business, including its operations and the market for its securities, will depend on future 
economic developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. It is not possible to reliably estimate 
the length and severity of these developments or the negative impact on the Corporation’s financial results, share price and 
financial condition in future periods. Many of the risks, uncertainties and other risk factors identified are, and will be, amplified 
by the COVID-19 pandemic. While we have implemented business continuity plans and taken additional steps and measures, 
there can be no assurance that these actions, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, will succeed in preventing or mitigating 
the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Corporation, which may continue post COVID-19 pandemic.

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 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 continuing 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 war in 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

Since February 24, 2022, the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, in coordination with European and NATO allies 
have issued severe sanctions targeting Russia’s largest banks and removed most of Russian banks from the global SWIFT 
financial messaging system. Additional sanctions were imposed on Russia’s oil and gas industry, and on export of technology 
and services to Russia and Belarus. Additional sanctions or other measures may be imposed by the global community, and 
counteractive measures may be taken by the Russian government, or other entities in Russia or governments or other entities 
outside of Russia. The war between Russia and the Ukraine and corresponding sanctions imposed upon Russia by NATO 
and Western countries are impacting world economic markets including areas of the aerospace industry. The impacts of the 
imposed sanctions are being monitored on an ongoing basis by the industry. The Corporation’s customers have particularly 
taken actions to lessen the impact on the supply of titanium materials originally sourced from Russia. Of greater concern is the 
potential impact of changes in world economic markets and the follow-on effects on the aerospace industry. The Corporation 
cannot predict the outcome of the war nor can it predict the resulting economic fallout, therefore the corresponding impact on 
the Corporation remains uncertain.

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.

In March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, leading to 
an economic downturn. The situation is dynamic with various cities and countries around the world responding in different ways 
to address the outbreak. In late February 2022, Russia launched a large scale military attack on Ukraine (“war”). The invasion 
significantly amplified already existing geopolitical tensions among Russia, Ukraine, Europe, NATO and the West, including 
Canada. Any estimate of the length and severity of these developments is subject to significant uncertainty, and accordingly 
estimates of the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and the war 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 the war 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

In determining whether a long-lived asset is impaired, the Company has to exercise judgment and make estimation in assessing 
(1) whether an event or indicator has occurred that may affect the asset values; (2) whether the carrying value of an asset can 
be supported by the recoverable amount (which in the case of value-in-use is the net present value of future cash flows of 
the continued use of the asset); and (3) the appropriate key assumptions to be applied in estimating the recoverable amount 
including cash flow projections and appropriate discount rate.

The  recoverable  amounts  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 recoverable amount, 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 recoverable amount of the asset being evaluated and 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.

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.

A description of accounting standards adopted in 2022

The Corporation has adopted the following new and amended standards in 2022.

Amendments to IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

The  amendments  clarify  the  standard  regarding  costs  a  company  should  include  as  the  cost  of  fulfilling  a  contract  when 
assessing whether a contract is onerous. Prior to the application of the amendments, the Corporation had not identified any 
contracts as being onerous as the unavoidable costs under the contracts, which were the costs of fulfilling them, comprised only 
incremental costs directly related to the contracts. Upon adoption of the amendments, as of January 1, 2022, the Corporation 
included certain other directly related costs in determining the costs of fulfilling the contracts resulting in a $1,177 increase to 
other long-term liabilities and provisions, and $878 and $299 decreases to the opening retained earnings and deferred tax 
liabilities, respectively.

Amendments to IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment

The amendment clarifies the accounting for the net proceeds from selling any items produced while bringing an item of property, 
plant and equipment into use. The adoption had no impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements. 

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, 2022 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 
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,  2022,  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, 2022.

No changes were made in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2022, 
that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

December 31, 2022

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 statement of financial position as at December 31, 2022, and the consolidated statements of income (loss) 
and comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity and cash flows for the year 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, 2022, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the 
year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting 
Standards Board (“IASB”).

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 other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that 
the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial 
statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements 
as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Impairment Assessment

Description of the key audit matter 
The Group has long-lived assets which includes property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and definite-life intangible assets 
totalling $447 million which are subject to impairment testing whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate their carrying 
amounts may not be recoverable.  The Group also has goodwill and indefinite-life intangible assets of $31 million that are required to 
be tested for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate their carrying amounts 
may not be recoverable. 

Based on the current economic environment, the Group concluded that impairment testing was required at certain cash generating 
units. The impairment testing conducted by management resulted in the recognition of a $2.5 million impairment loss in the current 
period. Refer to notes 7, 10 and 27 to the consolidated financial statements for details.

In carrying out the impairment assessments, significant judgements are required to estimate the recoverable amounts, being the 
higher of the fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. The estimation of recoverable amounts involves complex and subjective 
estimates based on management’s judgement of key variables and market conditions.  Significant assumptions included forecasted 
cash flows and discount rates.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT 

December 31, 2022

How the key audit matter was addressed in the audit
Our audit approach involved the assistance of our internal valuation professionals. Our audit procedures included, but were not limited 
to, the following: 
—   Evaluating comparable market transactions that support the fair value less costs of disposal of the long-lived assets.
—   Assessing discount rates used by management against discount rate ranges independently developed from publicly available 

data sets, along with the consideration of comparable company metrics. 

—   Assessing management’s assumptions about revenue growth rate forecasts, expected margin realization rates and terminal 

growth rates in light of historical results and projected future economic and market conditions. 

—   Challenging management’s assumptions and performing additional sensitivity and stress tests for cash generating units where 

the impairment assessments were more sensitive to changes in estimated inputs. 

—   Reviewing the disclosures on the assumptions and the outcomes of the impairment testing and the sensitivity analysis presented 

in the consolidated financial statements.

—   Involving our valuation specialists in review of the modelling approach used by management, testing significant assumptions 
such as discount and growth rates, and assessing the underlying data used by the Group in its models for completeness.

Recognition of revenues on over time contracts

Description of the key audit matter 
The Group has approximately $336 million of revenue recognized over time for the year ended December 31, 2022 as disclosed in 
Note 24 to the consolidated financial statements. The Group uses the input method to recognize revenue over time, wherein revenue 
is recognized based on actual costs incurred over the total estimated costs to complete the contracts. The Group estimates the level 
of total expected costs for each contract, which includes significant judgements for contracts open for more than one year that can 
have a material impact on the revenue recognized in a reporting period as contracts span multiple accounting periods. For long-term 
contracts open at year-end, the Group makes subjective judgements related to estimated future labour, materials, and overhead costs. 
These judgements depend on the complexity and status of the related contract as of the period-end date. 

How the key audit matter was addressed in the audit
Our audit approach involved evaluating the revenue recognized over time and challenging judgements and estimates made by the 
Group in relation to the estimated costs to be incurred. Our audit procedures included, but were not limited to, the following: 
—   Evaluating contractual arrangements and obtaining an understanding of the projects’ performance throughout the year and at 

year-end through inquiries with project managers from the contract project team.

—   Assessing management’s assumptions on estimated costs to complete, by comparing the key inputs in the cost estimation 

— 

forecasts to actual results.
 Evaluating the appropriateness of accumulated costs related to claims and unapproved change orders that can result in additional 
charges or changes to contract revenues.

—   Challenging management’s assumptions and performing additional sensitivity and stress tests for judgements and estimates made.

Other Matter 
The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2021 were audited by another auditor who 
expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on March 17, 2022.

Other Information 
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises: 
—   The information, other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon, included in the 2022 

Annual Report, and

—    The information included in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

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

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

20

MAGELLAN 2022 ANNUAL REPORT                              We obtained the Management’s Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor’s report. If, based on the work we have 
performed on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required 
to report that fact in this auditor’s report. We have nothing to report in this regard. 

The 2022 Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of the auditor’s report. If, based on the work we 
will perform on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required 
to report that fact to those charged with governance.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the 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 judgment 
and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: 
—   Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or 
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and 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.

—   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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT December 31, 2022MAGELLAN 2022 ANNUAL REPORT                              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 consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We 
describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, 
in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse 
consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

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

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

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 9, 2023.

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. The Company also 
has a 75% interest in an operating subsidiary named Magellan Aerospace Tumkur Private Limited. This subsidiary is fully 
consolidated, and a non-controlling interest is recognized for the 25% interest which is not owned. 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. The material 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.

27

MAGELLAN 2022 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.

28

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) MAGELLAN 2022 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 non-current portion of contract liabilities, 
if applicable, 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 
in the period in which they occur, and are recognized in other comprehensive income and immediately transferred to retained 

29

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) MAGELLAN 2022 ANNUAL REPORT                              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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) MAGELLAN 2022 ANNUAL REPORT                              Net Income (Loss) per Share
Net income (loss) 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  (loss)  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.

31

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) MAGELLAN 2022 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 2022 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, contract assets and 
liabilities, 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 instruments at fair value 
Cash and cash equivalents are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, derivatives instruments are 
classified as either financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through comprehensive income 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.  Where  permissible,  the 
Corporation accounts for these financial instruments as hedges, which ensures that counterbalancing gains and losses are 
recognized  in  income  in  the  same  period.  With  hedge  accounting,  changes  in  the  fair  value  of  the  derivative  financial 
instruments designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) until the variability of cash 
flows relating to the hedged asset or liability is recognized in income (loss). Hedging instruments are reviewed on a regular 
basis to ensure hedges are still effective and that hedge accounting continues to be appropriate. When the hedge instrument 
no  longer  meets  the  criteria  for  hedge  accounting  or  derivatives  are  not  designated  in  a  hedging  relationship,  they  are 
classified as held-for-trading and changes in fair value are immediately recognized in profit or loss. 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, contract assets and liabilities, 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 

33

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) MAGELLAN 2022 ANNUAL REPORT                              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.

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. 

In March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, leading 
to an economic downturn. The situation is dynamic with various cities and countries around the world responding in different 
ways to address the outbreak. In late February 2022, Russia launched a large scale military attack on Ukraine (“war”). The 
invasion  significantly  amplified  already  existing  geopolitical  tensions  among  Russia,  Ukraine,  Europe,  NATO  and  the  West, 
including Canada. 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 the war 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 the war on revenue, expenses, 
assets, liabilities, and note disclosures could result in a material adjustment to the carrying value of the asset or liability affected.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) MAGELLAN 2022 ANNUAL REPORT                              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
In determining whether a long-lived asset is impaired, the Company has to exercise judgment and make estimation in assessing 
(1) whether an event or indicator has occurred that may affect the asset values; (2) whether the carrying value of an asset can 
be supported by the recoverable amount (which in the case of value-in-use is the net present value of future cash flows of 
the continued use of the asset); and (3) the appropriate key assumptions to be applied in estimating the recoverable amount 
including cash flow projections and appropriate discount rate. 

The  recoverable  amounts  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 recoverable amount, 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 recoverable amount of the assets being evaluated and 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.

35

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) MAGELLAN 2022 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 REPORTING STANDARDS

New and Amended International Financial Reporting Standards Adopted in 2022
The Corporation has adopted the following new and amended standards in the current year. 

Amendments to IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
The  amendments  clarify  the  standard  regarding  costs  a  company  should  include  as  the  cost  of  fulfilling  a  contract  when 
assessing whether a contract is onerous. Prior to the application of the amendments, the Corporation had not identified any 
contracts as being onerous as the unavoidable costs under the contracts, which were the costs of fulfilling them, comprised only 
incremental costs directly related to the contracts. Upon adoption of the amendments, as of January 1, 2022, the Corporation 
included certain other directly related costs in determining the costs of fulfilling the contracts resulting in a $1,177 increase to 
other long-term liabilities and provisions, and $878 and $299 decreases to the opening retained earnings and deferred tax 
liabilities, respectively. 

Amendments to IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment
The amendment clarifies the accounting for the net proceeds from selling any items produced while bringing an item of property, 
plant and equipment into use. The adoption had no impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements. 

New and Amended International Financial Reporting Standards to be Adopted in 2023 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 2023 or later. 

Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements
In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements to clarify how to classify debt 
and other liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments help to determine whether, in the consolidated statements 
of  financial  position,  debt  and  other  liabilities  with  an  uncertain  settlement  date  should  be  classified  as  current  (due  or 
potentially  due  to  be  settled  within  one  year)  or  non-current.  The  amendments  also  include  clarifying  the  classification 
requirements for debt an entity might settle by converting it into equity. The amendments are effective for annual reporting 
periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. The Corporation does not expect the adoption to have an impact on its 
consolidated financial statements.

36

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) MAGELLAN 2022 ANNUAL REPORT                              Amendments to IAS 1, in February 2021, also change the requirements in IAS 1 with regard to disclosure of accounting policies. 
Applying the amendments, an entity discloses its material accounting policies, instead of its significant accounting policies. 
Further amendments to IAS 1 were made to explain how an entity could identify a material accounting policy.

The new guidance will be effective for annual periods starting on or after January 1, 2023. 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. 

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.

Included  in  the  above  are  assets  under  construction  in  the  amount  of  $18,747  [December  31,  2021–$12,241],  which  as  at 
December 31, 2022 are not amortized.

As part of its assessment of indicators of impairment, the Company determined that indicators of impairment were present at 
certain CGU’s and impairment assessments were conducted. The recoverable amount for each CGU was determined as the 
higher of value-in-use (“VIU”) or fair value less costs to sell (“FVLCS”). No impairment has been recognized except for that 
related to assets made obsolete at one of the Company’s U.K. facilities as a result of a multi-year restructuring plan (see note 
27). Included in the above accumulated depreciation and impairment amount for 2022 is impairment charges, measured using 
a FVLCS approach, of $1,772 [2021–nil] related to this facility.

The Company performed an impairment assessment using FVLCS on another CGU with a carrying value of $23,256. No 
impairment has been recognized, however, any downward pressure on the fair value of the related assets would lead to 
impairment.  For  other  CGU’s  tested,  the  key  assumptions  are  growth  rate  and  discount  rate  and  any  changes  in  these 
assumptions could cause an impairment on these CGU’s.

The Corporation’s investment properties consist of land and buildings. Depreciation expense recognized in relation to the 
buildings in 2022 was $22 [2021–$33]. The Corporation recorded rental income from investment properties of $550 in 
2022 [2021–$530]. 

The fair value of the Corporation’s investment properties was $24,925 [2021–$24,385] at December 31, 2022. The fair value was 
determined through the use of the market comparable approach and discounted cash flows approach which are categorized 
as a Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. In 2022, the Corporation obtained opinions from external valuators, with experience in the

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.

Included in the amortization and impairment amount for 2022 for development costs is impairment charges of $711 [2021–nil]. 
The charges relate to impairment indicators identified for specific programs at one of the Company’s facilities. The impairment 
was measured using a VIU approach. 

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 $8,530 (£5,226) [2021–$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 using a measurement date of October 1st. The Company’s goodwill amount is allocated 
between two CGU’s in amount of $9,058 [2021–$9,508] and $13,123 [2021–$12,284] respectively. 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 VIU 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 11.7% [2021–11.4%] and 10.5% [2021–9%] 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% [2021–2%] and 3% [2021–3%] was used in the terminal year given the businesses’ anticipated growth. The Corporation 
determined that the recoverable amounts 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.

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, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The  Corporation  has  a  multi-currency  operating  credit  facility  with  a  syndicate  of  banks,  with  a  Canadian  dollar  limit  of 
$75,000. Extensions of the facility are subject to mutual consent of the syndicate of lenders and the Corporation. The credit 
agreement also includes a $75,000 uncommitted accordion provision which will provide the Corporation with the option to 
increase the size of the operating credit facility. On June 30, 2021 the Corporation extended its credit facility for an additional 
two-year  period  expiring  on  June  30,  2023.  As  at  December  31,  2022,  the  Corporation  was  debt-free  under  its  credit 
facility. Bank indebtedness bears interest at the bankers’ acceptance or Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) rates 
plus 1.00%. At December 31, 2022, the Corporation had letters of credit outstanding totalling $4,614 [2021–$4,143] such 
that $70,386 [2021–$70,857] was unused and available. A fixed and floating charge debenture on accounts receivable, 
inventories and property, plant and equipment is pledged as collateral for the operating credit facility.

16.  BORROWINGS SUBJECT TO SPECIFIC CONDITIONS

The Corporation has received proceeds related to the development of its technologies and processes from Canadian government 
agencies.  The  contributions  have  been  deducted  in  calculating  the  Corporation’s  investment  in  intangible  assets,  property 
plant and equipment or from the expense to which they relate. These amounts, plus, in certain cases, an implied return on the 
investment, are repayable as future royalty payments. The Corporation has included in borrowings subject to specific conditions 
the estimated amount of repayments based on future estimated sales in relation to the contributions received. During 2022, the 
Corporation received nil government proceeds [2021–nil] and repaid $1,327 [2021–$1,104].

Warranty
During the normal course of its business, the Corporation assumes the cost of certain components under warranties offered 
on its products. This provision for a warranty is based on historical data associated with similar products and is recorded as a 
current liability. Nevertheless, conditions may change and a significant amount may need to be recorded.

Environmental
Provisions for environment liabilities have been recorded for costs related to site restoration obligations. Due to the long-term 
nature of the liability, the related long-term portion of the liability is included in long-term liabilities. 

Other
This category of provisions includes provisions related to legal, onerous contracts, and other liabilities. The provisions are based 
on the Corporation’s best estimate of the amount of the expenditure required to address the matters.

December 30, 2022 amounting to $14,994. 

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Corporation declared and paid dividends on its common shares on March 31, 2021, 
June 30, 2021, September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2021 of $0.105 per share amounting to $24,247.

Subsequent to December 31, 2022, the Corporation declared dividends to holders of its common shares in the amount of 
$0.025 per common share payable on March 31, 2023, for shareholders of record at the close of business on March 17, 2023. 

Normal Course Issuer Bid
On May 27, 2021, the Corporation announced that the TSX had accepted the Corporation’s notice of intention to make a 
normal course issuer bid (the “2021 NCIB”). Under the terms of the 2021 NCIB, the Corporation could acquire up to an 
aggregate of 2,886,455 common shares, over the twelve-month period that the 2021 NCIB was in place. The 2021 NCIB 
commenced on May 27, 2021 and ended on May 26, 2022. On May 25, 2022, the Corporation’s additional NCIB application 
was approved for the purchase of up to 2,886,455 common shares, over a 12-month period commencing May 27, 2022 and 
ending May 26, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2022, 282,972 shares were purchased for cancellation for $2,062 at 
a volume weighted average price paid of $7.29 per common share. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Corporation 
had not purchased common shares for cancellation under the program.

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, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) MAGELLAN 2022 ANNUAL REPORT                               
 
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. One third of the cash payment of the Units awarded 
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 Total Shareholder Return 
performance 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 each performance period. As at December 
31, 2022, 84,935 Units were outstanding at an accrued value of $635 [December 31, 2021–$547]. The Corporation recorded

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, 2022, fluctuations of +/- 1% would, everything else being equal, have an effect on net income for the year ended 
December 31, 2022 of approximately +/- $84. 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 $4,930.

Interest rate risk
The Corporation is exposed to interest rate risk in its floating rate bank indebtedness. As at December 31, 2022, $5,465 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, 2022 by 
approximately +/- $25.

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.

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 
2022, the Corporation sold receivables to various financial institutions in the amount of $1,277 [2021–$42,783] for a discount 
of $9 [2021–$163] representing an annualized interest rate of 2.71% [2021–1.44%]. 

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 programs or factoring transactions 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
Certain of the Corporation’s future cash flows are incurred in US dollars and British Pounds. Decreases in the value of the Canadian 
dollar relative to the US dollar and British pound could have an adverse effect on the Corporation’s cash flows. To mitigate some 
of the uncertainty in respect these cash flows, the Corporation may enter into foreign currency forward and collar contracts in 
respect of US dollars and British pounds. With respect to 2022, the Corporation entered into forward foreign exchange contracts 
to purchase US dollars of $14,400 and British Pounds of £23,540 over a period of one month commencing December of 2022 
at an exchange rate of $1.3559 and $1.6311 Cdn, respectively. 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, and British pounds. The Corporation conversely entered into foreign currency collar contracts as follows:

The fair value of foreign currency contracts is determined using an estimated credit-adjusted mark-to-market valuation using 
observable forward exchange rates at the end of the reporting periods and currency contract forward rates. 

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, a loss of $3,255 (pre-tax loss of $4,235) [2021–nil], was recorded in other 
comprehensive  income  (loss)  for  the  effective  portion  of  cash  flow  hedges.  In  accordance  with  the  fair  value  hierarchy  of 
financial  instruments,  the  derivatives  are  considered  Level  2.  As  at  December  31,  2022,  the  Corporation  recorded  $4,235 
of derivative liabilities [2021–$nil], included in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and provisions on the interim condensed 
consolidated statement of financial position.

Long-term debt
As at December 31, 2022, the carrying amount of the Corporation’s long-term debt of $5,465 [2021–$7,307] 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, 2022, the Corporation has recognized $24,637 [2021–$25,428] 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, 2022, the carrying amount of all of the financial assets that the Corporation has pledged as collateral for its 
long-term debt facilities was $5,465 [2021–$7,307].

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 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, 2021, January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2019. 

In October 2022, the Corporation purchased annuity contracts for a portion of the Corporation’s defined benefit pension plans 
using plan assets and settled approximately $17,183 of benefit plan obligations resulting in the recognition of a settlement loss 
of $631 in the consolidated statements of (loss) income.

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.

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

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, 30% in fixed income instruments and 
65% in equity for the Canadian defined benefit plans. 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. 

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  $7,018  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2022 
[2021–$6,421].

MAGELLAN 2022 ANNUAL REPORT                              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 $635 in 2023 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.

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, 2022, a 1.0% decrease in the discount rate used (all other 
assumptions remaining unchanged) could result in a $8,496 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 
2023. The impact of applying a one-percentage-point increase or decrease in the assumed health care and dental benefit trend 
rates as at December 31, 2022 was nominal.

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 includes 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.

Restructuring
In 2020, the Corporation 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. The plan included downsizing the employee 
base,  moving  various  manufacturing  capabilities  to  other  sites  and  engaging  in  other  actions  designed  to  reduce  the  cost 
structure and improve productivity.

The  Corporation  has  recognized  restructuring  charges  of  $2,764  [2021–$2,182 / 2020–$12,537]  associated  with  this  plan. 
Restructuring charges include various costs associated with the workforce restructuring, closure costs required to restructure 
the operations and relocate the assets involved and non-cash impairment charges related to assets made obsolete as a result of 
the plan. Restructuring provisions are recorded within Accounts payable, accrued liabilities and provisions on the Corporation’s 
balance sheet. The restructuring provision at December 31, 2022 is $362 [2021-$911].

The Corporation has incurred additional workforce reduction costs of $1,137 associated with downsizing its employee base.

Costs associated with the restructuring charges noted above are summarized in the table below:

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.

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, 2022, total managed capital was $733,818 [2021–$769,754], comprised of shareholders’ equity attributable 
to equity holders of the Corporation of $728,353 [2021–$762,447] and interest-bearing debt of $5,465 [2021–$7,307]. 

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, 2022, the Corporation was in 
compliance with these covenants.

34.  CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS

In the ordinary course of business activities, the Corporation may be involved in litigation and claims, with or without merit, 
with customers, suppliers or 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, 2022, capital commitments in respect of purchase of property, plant and equipment totalled $6,672, all of 
which had been ordered. There were no other material capital commitments at the end of the year.
