2023

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

COMPREHENSIVE STRATEGIES ARE  
BEING REFINED TO LEVERAGE MAGELLAN’S 
CORE STRENGTHS 

Magellan ended 2023 with $879.6 million in revenue, which increased 15.0% as compared to $764.6 million in 2022. Net 
income in 2023 was $9.2 million, an improvement from the net loss in 2022 of $21.7 million.

The turmoil experienced in the aerospace industry over the last three years has underscored how quickly the world can 
change. During this period, aerospace companies have had to become more agile, adapt rapidly and make important 
business decisions quickly. One of the main priorities for Magellan was to rehabilitate underperforming contracts. Magellan 
has been working diligently with customers and suppliers to negotiate solutions to help mitigate the impact of inflationary 
headwinds and supply chain disruptions.  While this work continues, a number of these agreements were successfully 
negotiated in 2023. 

With the pandemic behind us and our critical short-term actions underway, the executive leadership team is directing its 
focus toward refining Magellan’s strategic plan. Our operating sites are mapping out comprehensive strategies to leverage 
Magellan’s core strengths and capabilities to grow our business. We are assessing current market trends, customer and 
competitor strategies, and new and innovative technologies that will help us optimize our competitive position and capture 
new business for the future. 

While the aerospace industry has not yet fully stabilized since the pandemic, market trends support a positive long-term 
outlook for the industry. Boeing and Airbus set new records for aircraft order activity and order backlogs in 2023. Domestic 
commercial passenger air travel has now surpassed pre-pandemic levels and aircraft production rates continue to rise. 
Finally, the increasing need to modernize global defence fleets is driving a robust demand for new aircraft in this market 
segment, further building on potential opportunities for growth.

We  have  come  through  a  challenging  time  in  our  industry.  We  are  proud  of  how  our  employees  adapted  and  helped 
Magellan navigate through this period. On behalf of the board and management of Magellan, I would like to thank all our 
employees and our shareholders for their ongoing support.

1. OVERVIEW
A summary of Magellan’s business and significant 2023 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 2023 ANNUAL REPORT                              MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS December 31, 2023  
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.

The Industry and the Supply Chain
Though global air travel has seen signs of recovery with both domestic and international revenue passenger kilometers, on 
a combined basis, approaching pre–COVID 19 pandemic levels, Magellan’s financial results and operations continue to be 
influenced by overhanging impacts from the pandemic. These impacts include customer build rate adjustments (and the impact 
on production scheduling), higher input prices for goods and services, limited availability of products, disruptions to supply 
chains and labour shortages. Magellan continues to manage these impacts and strives to mitigate their effect on Magellan’s 
operations, supply chain, and most importantly the health and safety of its employees.

In 2023, 63% of revenues were derived from commercial markets (2022–62%, 2021–52%) while 37% of revenues related to 
defence markets (2022–38%, 2021–48%).

2023 and Recent Updates 
On January 10, 2023, Magellan released a statement applauding the Government of Canada’s announcement that it had 
reached a final agreement to acquire 88 F–35 fighter jets for the Royal Canadian Air Force (“RCAF”). By selecting the F–35, 
Canada is continuing a relationship that was established between the original partnering nations for the development of the 
F–35. The announcement secures significant benefits to the Canadian aerospace industry. To date, Canadian companies 
have been awarded high value contracts as part of the F–35 global supply chain amounting to USD $2.7 billion as a result of 
Canada’s partnership in the F–35 program. The Canadian economy is anticipated to benefit by more than $16.9 billion over 
the life of the program.

On  March  6,  2023,  Magellan  announced  the  signing  of  a  significant  long–term  agreement  (“LTA”)  extension  with  Collins 
Aerospace  (“Collins”),  a  Raytheon  Technologies  business,  to  manufacture  complex  magnesium  and  aluminum  castings  for 
various military and commercial aerospace platforms. The castings will be produced by Magellan’s facilities in Haley, Ontario 
and Glendale, Arizona. The extension of this LTA with Collins renews the framework for strategic alignment with Magellan; in 
addition to F–15, F–16, and F–18 castings for Collins legacy programs, the agreement also encompasses the supply of castings 
to support F–35 Lightning II, KC–46, A320neo, 787 and 777X programs.

On March 10, 2023, Magellan announced a contract with the Government of Canada to design, build, launch, and operate 
the Redwing microsatellite. Directed by the Department of National Defence’s science and technology organization, Defence 
Research and Development Canada (“DRDC”), the $15.8 million Redwing contract represents the next generation of spacecraft 
technology  for  space  domain  awareness  technology  demonstration.  When  launched  in  2026,  Redwing  will  perform  space 
object tracking to characterize an increasingly congested orbital environment, observe higher detail on space objects, and 
provide near real–time tasking to respond to evolving space events.

On May 25, 2023, Magellan renewed its normal course issuer bid (“2023 NCIB”) which allows the Corporation to purchase 
for cancellation up to 2,868,106 of its common shares during the 12–month period commencing May 27, 2023 and ending 
May 26, 2024 through facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) or other alternative Canadian trading systems.

On May 30, 2023, Magellan announced the signing of a contract extension with The Boeing Company (“Boeing”), providing 
for the continued manufacture of large and complex nacelle exhaust systems for the Boeing 767 program. The fabricated 
metallic  assemblies  will  be  produced  and  delivered  from  Magellan’s  facility  in  Middletown,  Ohio.  The  continuation  of  this 
agreement with Boeing will ensure the continued supply by Magellan of acoustic plug and nozzle exhaust assemblies for the

honeycomb is manufactured utilizing materials suitable for higher temperatures and offers advantages in weight savings 
and acoustic attenuation.

On  June  14,  2023,  the  Corporation  extended  its  $75  million  Bank  Credit  Facility  Agreement  (“2023  Credit  Facility”)  for  an 
additional 2 year period expiring on June 30, 2025. Refer to the “Financing Matters” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” 
sections below for more information on the Credit Facility.

On  December  19,  2023,  Magellan  announced  an  agreement  with  the  Canadian  government  for  the  provision  of  LUU–2 
illumination  flares  for  the  RCAF.  The  $39  million,  four–year  contract  commences  in  2024  and  involves  the  manufacture, 
assembly and delivery of LUU–2 flares from Magellan Aerospace, Winnipeg’s propellant plant in Manitoba, Canada.

Labour Matters
The  Corporation  employs  3,848  employees;  of  these,  approximately  1,394  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 2023 Credit Facility. The 2023 Credit Facility 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 2023 Credit Facility expires on June 30, 2025.

2. OUTLOOK
The outlook for Magellan’s business in 2024

Commercial Aerospace Market

The International Air Transport Association (“IATA”) reported that industry–wide passenger air travel had recovered to within 
1% of 2019 levels by November 2023, with domestic travel exceeding 2019 by 6.7% and international travel behind by 5.5%. 
IATA also reported that airline industry net profits for 2023 were expected to come in at US$23.3 billion (2.6% net profit margin), 
stating that the speed of the recovery has been extraordinary considering the major losses of recent years.

Boeing and Airbus both reported increased order backlogs in 2023. Airbus set three new industry records. The first was by 
reaching a record order backlog of 8,598 aircraft, the second was by securing the highest gross orders of 2,319 aircraft in a 
year, and lastly recording the highest net new orders of 2,094 aircraft in a year. Boeing also set a new company all–time backlog 
record of 6,216 aircraft. Airbus delivered 735 aircraft in 2023, while Boeing delivered 528 aircraft in the same period.

Boeing was transitioning their plan of 737 aircraft production to a rate of 38 aircraft per month from 31 aircraft per month, 
and then were to continue ramping towards 50 aircraft per month in the 2025/26 timeframe. However, this has been delayed 
and in January 2024, the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) ordered Boeing to halt further 737 Max production rate 
increases until the agency completed an investigation to ensure the safety of the aircraft’s production system. This followed 
two previous incidents in 2023 in which Boeing paused deliveries. In January 2024, Boeing also withdrew its request to the 
FAA for a time–limited exemption from current engine de–icing system requirements for 737–7 Max. This is expected to 
further delay certification of the aircraft by 9 to 12 months into late 2025/early 2026. Boeing ended 2023 having delivered 
396 of their 737 aircraft, 387 of which were Max models. 

4

MAGELLAN 2023 ANNUAL REPORT                              MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS December 31, 2023  
 
In June 2023, Boeing raised their 787 production rate to 4 aircraft per month. The program is now transitioning to 5 aircraft per 
month, to be followed by further rate increases to reach 10 aircraft per month by 2025/26. The 747 program ceased production 
activity in January 2023 when the last aircraft was delivered to Atlas Air. The 767 program is currently running at a rate of 3 aircraft 
per month, a mix of KC–46 tankers (based on the 767–2C) and 767–300 freighters. The 777 program is at a rate of 3 aircraft per 
month and is expected to reach 4 aircraft per month by 2025/26.

Airbus ended 2023 with A320 at a build rate of 56 aircraft per month. They plan to ramp up to 62 aircraft per month by the end 
of 2024, and progressively ramp up to 75 aircraft per month by the second half of 2026. The A220 program is now at 7.5 aircraft 
per month with plans to be at 10 aircraft per month by the end of 2024 and is expected to reach 14 aircraft per month in 2026. 
Airbus’ A330 program is at 3.3 aircraft per month and is planned to increase to 4 aircraft per month by the fourth quarter of 2024. 
The A350 program is currently at 6 aircraft per month and is planned to reach 7 aircraft per month in 2024, 9 aircraft per month 
in 2025 and 10 aircraft per month in 2026.

In  July  2023,  Pratt  &  Whitney  (“P&W”)  disclosed  that  a  number  of  their  PW1100G  engines  powering  A320  neo  aircraft, 
needed to be inspected and partially disassembled due to a powder–metal manufacturing quality problem. P&W determined 
that 1,200 PW1100G engines would need to be recalled for inspection and replacement of the high–pressure turbine and 
compressor disks. P&W currently forecasts that an average of 350 aircraft will be on ground (“AOG”) each month during 
2024, with the number of engines receiving full–life discs increasing throughout the year as they to ramp up production of 
replacement parts. P&W noted that all engines currently being delivered to the OEMs, principally Airbus, are built to the latest 
build standard, offering “the maximum time on wing.”

Defence Aerospace Market

In the defence market, demand is robust as rising geopolitical tensions have brought attention to defence readiness, prompting 
numerous countries to increase their military expenditures and advance their fleet modernization programs. The US defence 
industry recorded US$80.9 billion in Foreign Military Sales (“FMS”) in 2023, which was 56% higher than in 2022, and the highest 
annual FMS ever recorded. Of this amount, US$46 billion were military aircraft sold to overseas customers. Europe has seen 
the steepest year–on–year increase in military expenditures in at least 30 years, as governments in the region replenish national 
stockpiles depleted by donations sent to Ukraine. Currently, the US defence budget request for fiscal year 2024, is nearly US$100 
billion (13.4%) higher than fiscal year 2022.

Manufacturers  of  fighter  aircraft  are  expected  to  build  over  3,431  fighters  between  2024  and  2032,  according  to  Forecast 
International in their latest Fighter Aircraft Market Analysis, This market segment is experiencing strong demand as aging fleets, 
higher aircraft utilization and the ramp up of the F–35 program together drive year over year growth. While the F–35 dominates 
fighter production owing to its 40% share of global fighter deliveries, the outlook for legacy aircraft such as the F–15E, F/A18–E/F 
Super Hornet, and the F–16 fighters remains strong in the short term.

Lockheed Martin has now surpassed a significant milestone of having built its 1,000th F–35 aircraft since the beginning of the 
program. They delivered 98 TR–2 (Technical Refresh–2) configuration aircraft in 2023, which was significantly lower than the 147 
to 153 aircraft forecast earlier in the year. The reduction was due to a decision by the US Department of Defense (“DoD”) to delay 
delivery acceptance of the TR–3 configuration pending certification. Lockheed updated its forecast in January 2024, stating that 
certification of the TR–3 configuration is behind schedule, and that deliveries likely will not resume until the third quarter of 2024. 
Despite the cutback in deliveries, Lockheed Martin will continue producing the F–35 at a rate of approximately 156 aircraft per 
year, placing undelivered aircraft into storage pending availability of the TR–3 updates. Lockheed’s current forecast is to deliver 
between 75 and 110 F–35’s in 2024, possibly leaving as many as 100 to 120 aircraft undelivered. The first deliveries of the F–35 
aircraft to Canada are scheduled for 2025.

The defence rotorcraft market is expected to grow at 4.1% CAGR from 2025 to 2030. Legacy programs such as the AH–64 
Apache, H–60 Blackhawk and V–22 Tiltrotor will remain consistently strong up to the end of this decade when new generation 
aircraft  begin  to  enter  the  market.  The  light  military  segment  is  expected  to  be  the  market’s  fastest  growing  segment  with 
programs such as the US Army’s Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (“FLRAA”) program entering into production. Bell Flight, 
with its V–280 Valor tiltrotor aircraft, won the FLRAA competition to build the successor to the UH–60 Black Hawk helicopter.

MAGELLAN 2023 ANNUAL REPORT                                  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS December 31, 2023  
 
Next,  the  US  Army  will  decide  under  its  Future  Attack  Reconnaissance  Aircraft  (“FARA”)  program  on  a  replacement  for  its 
AH–64 attack helicopters. Bell and Sikorsky were down–selected in 2020 to proceed to the Phase 2 demonstrator and test flight 
stage of the competition. Both the FLRAA and FARA programs combined will represent a significant volume of business for the 
industry once in production.

In 2023, commercial and defence aerospace manufacturers witnessed a revival in demand. Domestic commercial passenger 
air travel surpassed pre–pandemic levels while Boeing and Airbus set new records for aircraft order activity and order backlogs. 
Despite the various setbacks, commercial aircraft production rates continue to rise over the long term, supporting a positive 
outlook for the future. In the defence market, geopolitical challenges combined with the prioritization to modernize fleets, is 
driving robust demand. Legacy fighter aircraft and rotorcraft are maintaining a robust momentum through this decade while 
new  advanced  programs  are  being  developed  to  enter  production  in  the  next  decade.  It  is  unusual  that  both  commercial 
and defence aerospace markets are in a growth cycle simultaneously, and since the OEM’s tend to be the same companies 
participating in both markets, the combined opportunity for growth is clearly positive.

For 2023, aerospace manufacturing activity has recovered but supply chain shortages and inflationary pressures 
which began in 2021 continue to have an impact on the Corporation’s results. Revenues for the year ended December 
31, 2023, increased from both 2022 and 2021 levels. The increase in revenues from 2022 was primarily attributable 
to  pricing  increases,  increased  volumes  in  single  aisle,  wide  body  and  casting  products  and  favorable  foreign 
exchange impacts. Net income increased in 2023 from 2022 mainly due to higher gross profit attributable to volume 
and price increases offset in part by higher material and manufacturing costs, and higher administrative and general 
expenses and income tax expense in the year. 

During 2023 and 2022, the Corporation paid dividends on common shares amounting to $5.7 million and $15.0 million, 
respectively, for the year.

4. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
A discussion of Magellan’s operating results for 2023 and 2022

Consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023 were $879.6 million, a 15.0% increase from the $764.6 million 
achieved last year. Gross profit and net income were $89.0 million and $9.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, 
respectively, in comparison to gross profit of $35.1 million and net loss of $21.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.

15.0%

Revenue in Canada increased 10.5% in 2023 compared to the prior year mainly due to higher casting product revenues, 
increased volume for single aisle aircraft parts, higher repair and overhaul revenues and favourable foreign exchange impact 
driven by the strengthening of the United States dollar relative to the Canadian dollar. 

Revenue in the United States in 2023 was 23.3% higher than 2022 mainly due to higher casting product revenues, increased 
volumes for single aisle and wide–body aircraft products as Boeing ramped up production for the 737 and 787 aircraft and 
favourable foreign exchange impacts resulting from the strengthening of the United States dollar relative to the Canadian dollar.

European revenue in 2023 increased 14.8% compared to the prior year primarily driven by build rate recovery for narrow 
body and wide body aircraft, and 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  2022  remained  constant  in  2023,  consolidated 
revenues for 2023 would have been lower by 3%.

MAGELLAN 2023 ANNUAL REPORT                                  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS December 31, 2023  
 
 
 
During 2023, the Corporation incurred $1.2 million [2022–$2.8 million] of restructuring costs related to the closure of its Bournemouth 
manufacturing  facilities  in  the  United  Kingdom  in  implementing  its  previously  announced  restructuring  plan  to  reorganize  its 
European  operations.  An  additional  $0.5  million  was  incurred  in  2023  [2022–$1.1  million]  for  other  workforce  reduction  and 
restructuring efforts.

Included in other is a foreign exchange loss of $4.9 million in 2023 compared to a gain of $2.3 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. 

Other also includes pension settlement losses of $0.4 million [2022–$0.6 million] relating to the settlement of various pension 
obligations in conjunction with the purchase of group annuity contracts related to the Corporation’s defined benefit pension plans.

Total interest costs of $3.7 million for 2023 increased by $0.9 million from $2.8 million in 2022 primarily due to higher interest 
charges on bank indebtedness and long–term debt from higher interest rates on higher principal amounts borrowed.

The Corporation recorded an income tax expense of $11.7 million in 2023 on pre–tax income of $20.9 million, representing an 
effective tax rate of 55.8%, compared to an income tax expense of $3.1 million on pre–tax loss of $18.6 million, representing 
an effective tax rate of (16.6%) in 2022.

During 2023 and 2022, the Corporation recognized investment tax credits totaling $1.9 million and $1.8 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 change 
in the mix of income and loss across the different jurisdictions in which the Corporation operates, the reversal of temporary 
differences and the Corporation no longer recognizing deferred tax assets for operating losses incurred in certain jurisdictions.

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 increased $37.4 million or 105.4% to $73.0 million for the year ended 2023, compared to $35.5 million in 
2022 mainly as a result of higher net income and higher interest and taxes. In 2023, higher net income was largely driven 
by revenue and gross margin improvements.

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 1.3619 in the fourth quarter of 2023 and a low of 1.2663 in the first quarter of 2022. The 
average quarterly exchange rate of the British pound relative to the Canadian dollar reached a high of 1.6995 in the first quarter 
of 2022 and hit a low of 1.5350 in the third quarter of 2022. The average quarterly exchange rate of the British pound relative

MAGELLAN 2023 ANNUAL REPORT                                  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS December 31, 2023 to the United States dollar reached a high of 1.3421 in the first quarter of 2022 and hit a low of 1.1753 in the third quarter of 
2022. Had exchange rates remained at levels experienced in 2022, reported revenues in 2023 would have been lower in the 
first, second and third quarters of 2023 by $8.4 million, $8.7 million and $3.0 million, respectively, and there would have been a 
minimal impact on the fourth quarter of 2023.

Revenues  and  net  income  in  2022  were  largely  impacted  by  the  continued  effects  from  the  COVID–19  pandemic,  driving 
reduced volumes and supply chain disruptions. In addition, continued high inflation on material, supplies, utilities and labour 
impacted the results in 2022 and still had an impact in 2023. Since the first quarter of 2022, the Corporation has had a modest 
upward trend in revenue as global domestic air travel continues to recover to pre COVID–19 levels. 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 2023, $17.3 million of cash was used by operations, $23.7 million was used in investing activities and $1.0 million was provided 
by financing activities.

The Corporation used $17.3 million of cash in 2023 from operating activities, compared to $58.5 million generated in the prior 
year. Changes in non–cash working capital items used cash of $77.2 million in 2023 as compared to $30.2 million generated 
in  the  prior  year.  The  unfavourable  movement  of  non–cash  working  capital  balances  was  largely  attributable  to  increases 
in accounts receivable from timing of customer payments, increases in inventories due to material purchases and timing of 
production and shipment, and decreases in contract liabilities due to timing of collection of funds offset in part by increases in 
accounts payable, accrued liabilities and provisions primarily driven by timing of supplier payments.

Investing activities for 2023 used $23.7 million of cash compared to $23.9 million in the prior year, a decrease of $0.2 million. 
The decrease was primarily due to lower levels of investment in property, plant and equipment offset largely by increases in

by bank indebtedness was largely offset by decreases in long–term debt, lease liability payments, common share repurchases 
and common share dividend payments. In 2022, cash usage was primarily due to decreases in long–term debt, lease liability 
payments, common share repurchases and common share dividend payments.

On June 14, 2023, the Corporation extended its 2023 Credit Facility with a syndicate of lenders for an additional two–year period 
expiring on June 30, 2025. The 2023 Credit Facility provides for a multi–currency global operating credit facility to be available 
to Magellan in a maximum aggregate amount of $75 million. The 2023 Credit Facility 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 2023 Credit Facility are subject to mutual consent of the syndicate of lenders and the Corporation.

As at December 31, 2023, the Corporation had made contractual commitments to purchase $8.4 million of capital assets 
[2022–$6.7 million]. In addition, the Corporation had purchase commitments, largely for materials required for the normal 
course of operations, of $379.8 million as at December 31, 2023 [2022–$312.7 million]. 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 8, 2024, 57,179,666 common shares were outstanding and no preference 
shares  were  outstanding.  More  information  on  the  Corporation’s  share  capital  is  provided  in  note  21  of  the  Corporation’s 
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

For the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Corporation paid dividends on its common shares of $5.7 million 
and $15.0 million, respectively. Quarterly dividend payments were $0.025 per share in 2023 and ranged between $0.025 
and $0.105 per common share in 2022. 

In the first quarter of 2024, the Corporation declared dividends of $0.025 per common share payable on March 28, 2024, to 
shareholders of record at the close of business on March 15, 2024.

Normal Course Issuer Bid
On  May  27,  2021,  the  Corporation  announced  that  the  TSX  had  accepted  the  Corporation’s  application  to  commence  a 
normal course issuer bid (the “2021 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 second application was approved (the “2022 NCIB”). The 2022 
NCIB allowed for the purchase of up to 2,886,455 common shares, over a twelve–month period commencing May 27, 2022 
and ending May 26, 2023. On May 25, 2023, the Corporation’s 2023 NCIB application was approved for the purchase of up 
to 2,868,106 common shares over a twelve–month period commencing May 27, 2023 and ending May 26, 2024. 

In 2023, 214,937 shares were purchased for cancellation for $1.6 million at a volume weighted average price paid of $7.55 per 
common share. In 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.

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, 2023 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 hedged items, all hedging relationships continue to be effective under IFRS 
9’s effectiveness assessment requirements. As at December 31, 2023, the Corporation entered into forward foreign exchange 
contracts to purchase US dollars of $16.2 million and British pounds of £23.5 million over a period of one month commencing 
December of 2023 at an exchange rate of $1.3210 and $1.6801 Canadian dollars, 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:

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.

A summary of Magellan’s transactions with related parties

During the year, the Corporation incurred consulting and cost recovery fees of $0.2 million [2022–$0.2 million] payable to a 
corporation controlled by the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

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

Magellan operates in a dynamic and rapidly changing environment and industry, which exposes the Corporation to numerous 
risk factors. The Corporation’s senior management identifies key risks and has processes in place to help monitor, manage, 
and  mitigate  these  risks.  Additional  information  about  the  Corporation,  including  risks  and  uncertainties  about  Magellan’s 
business, is provided in the Corporation’s Annual Information Form dated March 8, 2024 which is available on SEDAR+ at 
www.sedarplus.ca.

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

The  preparation  of  consolidated  financial  statements  requires  management  to  make  significant  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. By their nature, estimates are subject 
to  measurement  uncertainty  and  changes  in  such  estimates  in  future  years  could  be  material.  The  Corporation  reviews  its 
estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis, uses the most current information available and exercises careful judgement 
in making these estimates and assumptions.

The significant estimates and judgements utilized in preparing the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements impact 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.

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 23 to the 
consolidated financial statements.

MAGELLAN 2023 ANNUAL REPORT                                  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS December 31, 2023  
 
 
 
Impairment of goodwill and non–financial assets

In determining whether a long–lived asset is impaired, the Company has to exercise judgement and make estimates in assessing 
(1) whether an event or indicator has occurred that may affect the asset value; (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 an appropriate discount rate. 

The  recoverable  amounts  of  goodwill,  intangible  assets  and  property,  plant  and  equipment  are  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 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.

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.

A description of accounting standards adopted in 2023

The following amendments to accounting standards were adopted by the Corporation in the current year.

IAS  8,  Accounting  Policies,  Changes  in  Accounting  Estimates  and  Errors—these  amendments  introduce  a  definition  of 
“accounting  estimates”  and  clarify  the  difference  between  changes  in  accounting  policies  and  changes  in  accounting 
estimates. The adoption of these amendments had no impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Making materiality judgements—the IASB issued 
narrow–scope amendments to IAS 1 in February 2021, the amendments require the disclosure of material accounting policy 
information  rather  than  significant  accounting  policies.  The  Company  has  adopted  these  amendments  in  its  consolidated 
financial statements for the period ended on December 31, 2023.

IAS 12, Income Taxes—these amendments clarify how companies should account for deferred taxes related to assets and 
liabilities arising from a single transaction, such as leases and decommissioning obligations. The amendments narrowed the 
scope of the initial recognition exemption so that it does not apply to transactions that give rise to equal and offsetting temporary 
differences. As a result, recognition of a deferred tax asset and a deferred tax liability for temporary differences arising on initial 
recognition of the related asset and liability is required. The adoption of these amendments 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, 2023 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; and (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, 
2023, 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, 2023.

No changes were made in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2023, 
that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT 

December 31, 2023

To the shareholders of Magellan Aerospace Corporation
The consolidated financial statements of Magellan Aerospace Corporation were prepared by management in accordance with 
International Financial Reporting Standards. The financial and operating information presented in this annual report is consistent with

the preparation of relevant, reliable and timely financial information. External auditors appointed by the shareholders have examined the 
consolidated financial statements. The Audit Committee, consisting of non-management directors, has reviewed these consolidated 
financial statements with management and the auditors and has reported to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors approved

MAGELLAN 2023 ANNUAL REPORT                                  INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT 

December 31, 2023

To the Shareholders of  
Magellan Aerospace Corporation

Opinion 
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Magellan Aerospace Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Group), which 
comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the consolidated statements 
of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the 
consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information.

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, 2023 and 2022, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash 
flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) 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 
totaling $415 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. Refer to notes 8, 11 and 28 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 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 $356 million of revenue recognized over time for the year ended December 31, 2023 as disclosed in 
Note 25 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 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 2023 

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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT December 31, 2023MAGELLAN 2023 ANNUAL REPORT                               
We obtained the Management’s Discussion and Analysis and 2023 Annual Report prior to the date of this auditor’s report. If, 
based on the work we have performed on the other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of the other 
information, we are required to report that fact in this auditor’s report. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements 
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance 
with IFRSs, 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 economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment 
and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: 
—   Identify  and  assess  the  risks  of  material  misstatement  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  whether  due  to 
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is 
sufficient  and  appropriate  to  provide  a  basis  for  our  opinion.  The  risk  of  not  detecting  a  material  misstatement 
resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional 
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

—   Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in 
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the 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, 2023MAGELLAN 2023 ANNUAL REPORT                              INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT 

December 31, 2023

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.

1.  NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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 (“TSX”). 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.

Basis of Presentation
These  consolidated  financial  statements  are  prepared  under  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  (“IFRS”)  as 
issued  by  the  International  Accounting  Standards  Board  (“IASB”)  and  were  approved  by  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the 
Corporation on March 8, 2024. 

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 material 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.

MAGELLAN 2023 ANNUAL REPORT                              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars)  
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 income (loss) 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 (loss) 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.

26

MAGELLAN 2023 ANNUAL REPORT                              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) 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.

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 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 income (loss).

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.

MAGELLAN 2023 ANNUAL REPORT                              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars)  
Defined contribution plans
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognized as an expense in the consolidated statements 
of income (loss) 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 income (loss) 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 income (loss).

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 income (loss) 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.

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 income (loss) 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 income (loss). 
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.

Intangible assets with a finite useful life are stated at cost and amortized on a unit of production basis or straight-line basis 
as appropriate. 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 
income (loss) 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. 

29

MAGELLAN 2023 ANNUAL REPORT                              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars) 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  assumed  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  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.

30

MAGELLAN 2023 ANNUAL REPORT                              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars)  
 
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,  derivative  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 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 income (loss) .

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 income (loss) .

MAGELLAN 2023 ANNUAL REPORT                              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars)  
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.

Comparative Numbers
Certain classifications of the comparative figures have been changed to conform to those used in the current period.

2.  SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS 

The  preparation  of  consolidated  financial  statements  requires  management  to  make  significant  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. By their nature, 
estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and changes in such estimates in future years could be material. The 
Corporation reviews its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis, uses the most current information available and 
exercises careful judgement in making these estimates and assumptions.

The significant estimates and judgements utilized in preparing the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements impact 
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.

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 
23 to the consolidated financial statements.

Impairment of goodwill and non-financial assets
In determining whether a long-lived asset is impaired, the Company has to exercise judgement and make estimates in 
assessing (1) whether an event or indicator has occurred that may affect the asset value; (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 an appropriate discount rate. 

The recoverable amounts of goodwill, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are 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 assets being evaluated and 
the Corporation’s reported financial results.

MAGELLAN 2023 ANNUAL REPORT                              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars)  
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.

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.

3.  NEW AND AMENDED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS 

New and Amended International Financial Reporting Standards Adopted in 2023
The following amendments to accounting standards were adopted by the Corporation in the current year.

IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors—these amendments introduce a definition of 
“accounting  estimates”  and  clarify  the  difference  between  changes  in  accounting  policies  and  changes  in  accounting 
estimates. The adoption of these amendments had no impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

IAS  1,  Presentation  of  Financial  Statements  and  IFRS  Practice  Statement  2:  Making  materiality  judgements—the  IASB 
issued  narrow-scope  amendments  to  IAS  1  in  February  2021,  the  amendments  require  the  disclosure  of  material 
accounting policy information rather than significant accounting policies. The Company has adopted these amendments 
in its consolidated financial statements for the period ended on December 31, 2023.

IAS 12, Income Taxes—these amendments clarify how companies should account for deferred taxes related to assets and 
liabilities arising from a single transaction, such as leases and decommissioning obligations. The amendments narrowed 
the scope of the initial recognition exemption so that it does not apply to transactions that give rise to equal and offsetting 
temporary differences. As a result, recognition of a deferred tax asset and a deferred tax liability for temporary differences 
arising on initial recognition of the related asset and liability is required. The adoption of these amendments had no impact 
on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

New and Amended International Financial Reporting Standards to be Adopted in 2024 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 2024 or later.

 Amendments to IAS 1—Presentation of Financial Statements, clarifying the requirements for classifying 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. Classification requirements were also introduced for debt an entity might 
settle by converting it into equity. These amendments also clarify that only covenants with which an entity is obliged 
to comply with on or before the reporting date will affect a liability’s classification as current or non-current. Further, 
disclosure  is  required  for  any  information  that  enables  users  of  financial  statements  to  comprehend  the  possibility 
that non-current liabilities with covenants may become payable within 12 months. 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.

 Amendments to IFRS 16—Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback, specifying the requirements that a seller-lessee 
uses in measuring the lease liability arising in a sale and leaseback transaction, to ensure the seller-lessee does not 
recognize any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains. 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.

 Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7—Supplier Finance Arrangements, requiring specific disclosure to be presented 
to  enhance  current  disclosure  requirements,  which  are  intended  to  assist  users  of  the  financial  statements  in 
understanding  the  effects  of  supplier  finance  arrangements  on  an  entity’s  liabilities,  cash  flows  and  exposure  to 
liquidity risk. 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.

Contract assets relate to the Corporation’s right to consideration for performance completed under the contract and not 
invoiced.  The  contract  assets  are  transferred  to  trade  and  other  receivables  when  the  right  to  consideration  becomes 
unconditional.  Contract  liabilities  relate  to  payments  received  in  advance  of  performance  under  the  contract.  Contract 
liabilities are recognized as revenue when the Corporation performs under the contract.

Included in the above are assets under construction in the amount of $11,563 [December 31, 2022–$18,747], which as at 
December 31, 2023 are not amortized.

As  part  of  its  assessment  of  indicators  of  impairment  in  2023,  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 from the Company’s testing at the CGU level.

Included  in  the  depreciation  and  impairment  amount  for  2023  are  impairment  charges  of  $600.  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.

Included in the depreciation and impairment amount for 2022 are impairment charges of $1,772. The charges relate to 
assets made obsolete at one of the Company’s U.K facilities as a result of a multi-year restructuring plan (see note 28). The 
impairment charge was measured using a FVLCS approach.

The Corporation’s investment properties consist of land and buildings. Depreciation expense recognized in relation to the 
buildings in 2023 was $118 [2022–$22]. The Corporation recorded rental income from investment properties of $687 in 
2023 [2022–$550]. 

In 2023, the closure and repurposing of the manufacturing facilities at the Corporation’s Bournemouth facility changed the 
use of the property to an investment property earning rental income. The property, consisting of land and buildings, was 
reclassified from property, plant and equipment at its cost less accumulated depreciation net carrying value of $5,438.

The  fair  value  of  the  Corporation’s  investment  properties  was  $29,360  [2022–$24,925]  at  December  31,  2023.  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 2023, the Corporation obtained opinions from external valuators, with 
experience in the real estate market, on $29,360 of the total fair values of the Corporation’s investment properties.

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  2023  for  development  costs  is  impairment  charges  of  $555 
[2022—$711].  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 $8,799 (£5,226) [2022–$8,530 (£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 amounts of $9,344 [2022–$9,058] and $12,815 [2022–$13,123] 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. These projections are inherently uncertain and continually evolving in an unpredictable manner which present 
many variables and contingencies for modeling. Discount rates of 11.7% [2022—11.7%] and 10.5% [2022—10.5%] per 
annum were 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 rates of 2% [2022—2%] and 3% [2022—3%] 
were 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.

12.  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, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

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 14, 2023 the Corporation extended its credit facility for an additional 
two-year  period  expiring  on  June  30,  2025.  Indebtedness  under  the  facility  bears  interest  at  bankers’  acceptance  or 
adjusted Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) rates plus 1.00%. A fixed and floating charge debenture on accounts 
receivable, inventories and property, plant and equipment is pledged as collateral for the operating credit facility.

As at December 31, 2023, the Corporation had drawn $26,310 under the operating credit facility, including letters of credit 
totalling $3,561 [December 31, 2022–$4,614] such that $48,690 [December 31, 2022–$70,386] was available to be drawn on.

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 2023, the Corporation received $2,028 of government proceeds [2022—Nil] and repaid 
$1,337 [2022–$1,327]. A summary of the Corporation’s borrowings subject to specific conditions is as follows:

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 second NCIB application 
was  approved  (the  “2022  NCIB”).  The  2022  NCIB  allowed  for  the  purchase  of  up  to  2,886,455  common  shares,  over  a 
twelve-month period commencing May 27, 2022 and ending May 26, 2023. On May 25, 2023, the Corporation’s third NCIB 
application was approved (the “2023 NCIB”). The 2023 NCIB allows for the purchase of up to 2,868,106 common shares over 
a twelve-month period commencing May 27, 2023 and ending May 26, 2024. 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, 214,937 shares were purchased for cancellation for $1,622 at a volume weighted

for cancellation for $2,062 at a volume weighted average price paid of $7.29 per common share. 

22.  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 

44

MAGELLAN 2023 ANNUAL REPORT                              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars)  
 
 
 
business unit income tests must be met in order for the option holder’s entitlement to fully vest. As at December 31, 2023 
and December 31, 2022, there were no options granted and outstanding. The maximum number of options for common 
shares that is available to be granted under this plan is 1,673,341. 

The Corporation has a deferred share unit plan (“DSU Plan”) for certain executive officers (“Officers”) which provides a structure 
for Officers to accumulate equity-like holdings in the Corporation. The DSU Plan allows certain Officers to participate in the 
growth of the Corporation by providing a deferred payment based on the value of a common share at the time of redemption. 
Each Officer receives deferred share units (“Units”) based on their annual management incentive compensation. The Units 
are issued based on the Corporation’s common share price at the time of issue. 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, 2023, 77,911 Units were outstanding at an accrued value of $630 [December 31, 2022–$635]. The Corporation 
recorded compensation expense in relation to the DSU Plan during the year of $127 [2022–$156].

23.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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

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

The 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.

MAGELLAN 2023 ANNUAL REPORT                              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars)  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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, 2023, fluctuations of +/- 1% would, everything else being equal, have an effect on net income for the 
year ended December 31, 2023 of approximately +/- $280. 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 $4,566.

Interest rate risk
The Corporation is exposed to interest rate risk in its floating rate bank indebtedness. As at December 31, 2023, $18,882 
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, 2023 by approximately +/- $138.

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 income (loss) 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 
2023, the Corporation sold receivables to various financial institutions in the amount of $Nil [2022–$1,277] for a discount of 
$Nil [2022–$9] representing an annualized interest rate of Nil % [2022—2.71%].

MAGELLAN 2023 ANNUAL REPORT                              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars)  
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, contract assets and liabilities, 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 2023, the Corporation entered into 
forward foreign exchange contracts to purchase US dollars of $16,200 and British pounds of £23,540 over a period of one 
month commencing December of 2023 at an exchange rate of $1.3210 and $1.6801 Canadian dollar, 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:

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, a gain of $2,251 (pre-tax gain of $3,033) [2022—loss of $3,255 (pre-tax loss 
of $4,235)] 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, 2023, the Corporation 
recorded $1,315 of derivative liabilities [2022—$4,348], included in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and provisions on the 
consolidated statement of financial position.

Long-term debt
As at December 31, 2023, the carrying amount of the Corporation’s long-term debt of $3,348 [2022–$5,465] 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, 2023, the Corporation has recognized $25,442 [2022–$24,637] 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, 2023, the carrying amount of all of the financial assets that the Corporation has pledged as collateral 
for its long-term debt facilities and bank indebtedness was $18,882 [2022–$5,465].

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.

24.  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, 2022.

MAGELLAN 2023 ANNUAL REPORT                              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars)  
In April 2023, the Corporation purchased annuity contracts for a portion of the Corporation’s defined benefit pension plans 
using plan assets and settled approximately $19,624 of benefit plan obligations resulting in the recognition of a settlement loss 
of $644 in the consolidated statements of income (loss). The adjustment period for this transaction will expire in the first quarter 
of 2024.

Also in April 2023, the Corporation purchased $27,350 of buy-in annuities for one of its defined benefit pension plans. As 
the buy-in annuity does not represent a transaction that eliminates all further legal or constructive obligations for the benefits 
under the plan, these obligations currently remain on the balance sheet with the fair value of the buy-in assets equalling 
the obligation amount. When the Corporation receives regulatory approval to wind-up the plan, the buy-in annuities will be 
converted to buy-out annuities and a settlement gain (loss) will be recognized. The wind-up is expected to occur in 2024. 

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 income (loss) in 2022. In November 2023, after the expiration of the adjustment 
period  for  this  transaction,  various  adjustments  resulted  in  a  partly  offsetting  settlement  gain  of  $211  in  the  consolidated 
statements of income (loss) in 2023.

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.

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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

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

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 reporting period, based upon movements in discount rates and the rates 
of return on plan assets, as well as any significant changes to the plans. Adjustments are also made for payments made 
and benefits earned.

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

The Corporation’s expenses for defined contribution plans amounted to $6,698 for the year ended December 31, 2023 
[2022–$7,018].

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 recognized total defined benefit costs related to its defined and other benefit plans as follows:

The Corporation expects to contribute approximately $77 in 2024 to all its defined benefit plans in accordance with normal 
funding policy. Because of market driven changes that the Corporation cannot predict, the Corporation could be required 
to make contributions in the future that differ significantly from its estimates.

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

The discount rate assumption used in determining the obligations for pension and other benefit plans was selected based 
on a review of current market interest rates of high-quality, fixed rate debt securities adjusted to reflect the duration of 
expected future cash outflows for pension benefit payments. At December 31, 2023, a 1.0% decrease in the discount rate 
used (all other assumptions remaining unchanged) could result in a $7,008 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, 2023 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.

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 $1,167 [2022-$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

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, 2023, total managed capital was $752,922  [2022–$733,818], comprised of shareholders’ equity attributable 
to equity holders of the Corporation of $734,040 [2022–$728,353] and interest-bearing debt of $18,882 [2022–$5,465]. 

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, 2023, the Corporation was 
in compliance with these covenants.

35.  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,  2023,  capital  commitments  in  respect  of  purchase  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  totalled  $8,400 
2022–$6,672], all of which had been ordered. There were no other material capital commitments at the end of the year.
