2022 ANNUAL REPORT
Non-IFRS Financial Ratio
The Company reports its financial results in accordance
with IFRS. However, Organic revenue growth is a non-IFRS
financial ratio used by the Company in this document.
Additional details for this non-IFRS financial ratio can be
found below and in Sections 4 and 13 of the Company’s
2022 annual MD&A, which sections are incorporated by
reference into this document, filed with the securities
regulatory authorities in Canada, available on SEDAR at
www.sedar.com and on the Company’s website at www.
snclavalin.com under the “Investors” section, including
the reconciliation to the most directly comparable IFRS
measures. This non-IFRS financial ratio does not have any
standardized meaning under IFRS and therefore may not
be comparable to similar measures presented by other
issuers. This non-IFRS financial ratio has limitations and
should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for
measures of performance prepared in accordance with
IFRS. However, management believes that, in addition to
conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS,
this non-IFRS ratio provides additional insight into the
Company’s operating performance and financial position
and certain investors may use this information to evaluate
the Company’s performance from period to period.

Company’s diversity commitments and targets are based
on a number of assumptions, including, without limitation,
the following material assumptions: the Company’s
ability to leverage equality, diversity & inclusion (“ED&I”)
partnerships and recruitment agencies to help identify
qualified diverse talent for vacant positions, including
in leadership positions and on the Company’s board of

SNC-LAVALIN 2022 ANNUAL REPORT
Transformation requires careful
planning and design, followed by
skillful execution. For SNC‑Lavalin,
2022 marked the first full year that
we began executing on our “Pivoting
to Growth” strategy, and delivering
on the financial, growth and ESG
objectives that we have set out as
we transform into a fully integrated
global professional services and
project management firm.
While 2022 was a challenging year
for the world in many respects, as a
company, we remained focused on our
strategic objectives and the competitive
advantages that differentiate SNC‑Lavalin
as an end-to-end provider in
key global markets.
And I am proud to say that we delivered
across a range of areas, from our
financial metrics and new market wins,
to expanding our global talent roster by
3,000 employees and making progress
towards our gender diversity targets.
As a result of this transformative work,
which is anchored in our corporate
purpose of engineering a better
future for our planet and its people,
SNC‑Lavalin is uniquely well-positioned
to provide engineering solutions for
the most important infrastructure
imperatives and opportunities of
our time. Whether it's decarbonizing
aging buildings, or transitioning to
clean energy including nuclear power,
SNC‑Lavalin has and continues to
demonstrate its ability to help clients
and countries to deliver on their carbon
Net Zero and sustainability priorities.
Generating consistent and profitable
growth is a core objective that is
hardwired into our strategy and our
financial targets. In 2022, we achieved
or exceeded most of our outlook targets,
with SNCL Services generating 6.8%
organic revenue growth1 during the year
while this line of business notched seven
consecutive quarters of year-on-year
revenue growth. SNCL Services Segment
Adjusted EBIT to segment revenue
ratio also came in on target at 8.7%.
In terms of backlog, SNCL Services
book of business grew by 4.9% to
$11.8 billion dollars, bolstered for
three consecutive quarters by a
record Engineering Services segment
backlog being at $4.7 billion at the
end of 2022. Engineering Services
outperformed as the Company
continued to successfully expand its
market share in core geographies.
LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT AND CEO
(1) Organic revenue growth is a non-IFRS ratio comparing
organic revenue, itself a non-IFRS financial measure,
between two periods. Please refer to note “Non-IFRS
Financial Ratio” on page 2 of this document for details
on this non-IFRS ratio.

SNC-LAVALIN 2022 ANNUAL REPORT
SNC‑LAVALIN 2022 ANNUAL REPORT
The year was not without its challenges
however, as supply chain disruptions,
inflation and labour actions affected work
on our three remaining LSTK projects,
resulting in a financial loss for the LSTK
Projects segment. We nonetheless
succeeded in largely completing the
physical work on two of the projects –
a major milestone – and recorded what
we expect to be the last unfavourable
material LSTK cost reforecast.
With the LSTK challenge largely behind
us, contributing to a significant de-risking
of the business, SNC‑Lavalin expects to
generate positive operating cash flow in
the second half of 2023. This is in line
with the 2022-2024 targets we set out
in our “Pivoting to Growth” strategy,
and will provide the Company with
the financial flexibility to continue to
execute on our plan and drive growth.
Through our investments in data-driven
digital technologies, a focus on our
core markets and capabilities, and a
commitment to our corporate purpose,
we demonstrated our ability in 2022
to deliver as a leader of engineered
solutions for achieving carbon Net Zero
and building sustainable infrastructure.
Indeed, SNC‑Lavalin increased revenue
and secured exciting new project wins
across a number of geographies.
In Canada, we entered into an agreement
to develop the first Small Modular
Reactor in North America for Ontario
Power Generation. This is a potential
game-changer for the industry and
underscores the pivotal role nuclear
energy will play in achieving global
Net Zero. As demand and interest grows
for refurbishments and life extensions
of existing plants, as well as new builds
– which we are seeing in markets such
as the UK and the US - our world-class
capabilities are ideally positioned for an
anticipated revival in nuclear energy use.
In the UK, we added to a growing roster
of projects with the government focused
on achieving its Net Zero commitments.
In addition to ongoing work to decarbonize
ageing government office buildings,
the Company is now collaborating with
the Department of Business, Energy
and Industrial Strategy to develop a
roadmap for reducing emissions at
energy intensive industrial sites across
the country. It’s an ambitious endeavor
in which we are deploying our own
technology to scope out the most viable
and cost-effective decarbonizing options,
from carbon capture utilization and
storage to fuel switching and retrofits.
In the US, the Company continued
to execute on its ‘land and expand’
strategy, with new highway and airport
infrastructure projects in Florida as well
as work in Texas and North Carolina
to improve flood preparedness and
resiliency. With the Biden Administration
heavily investing in clean energy as well
as new roads, bridges and rail through
the Infrastructure Investment & Jobs
Act and the Inflation Reduction Act,
the US is expected to be an important
growth driver going forward.
All told, approximately half of
SNC‑Lavalin’s total revenues for
2022 were derived from projects
contributing to a sustainable future
and carbon free economy. It’s an
accomplishment I am personally very
proud of, and is aligned with our own
internal efforts to achieve carbon
Net Zero goal as a Company by 2030.
6
Over the past year, we took a number of
measures to enhance accountability and
introduce rigour to the process, including
linking ESG targets to employees
participating in the Annual Incentive
Plan (AIP), incorporating a sustainability-
linked loan framework into our credit
facilities, and committing to the United
Nations’ Science-Based Targets Initiative,
which set emissions reduction targets
in line with the Paris Agreement.
In short, we are delivering on our
corporate purpose and our promise as a
leading global professional services and
project management company. We are
in the right markets, at the right time,
and with the right people and expertise.
And as we look forward, our sights
are firmly fixed on creating long‑term
value for our employees, our
customers, our shareholders and the
communities in which we operate.
I want to thank our customers for their
partnerships and our shareholders for
their continued support. I appreciate
your belief in the Company and this
management team. I also want
to thank the Board for its ongoing
guidance and I look forward to
our continued collaboration.
Most importantly, I want to thank our
employees around the world. It is
through your hard work and dedication
that we have transformed SNC‑Lavalin
and achieved all that we have, and I
am very excited about our future, and
what we can accomplish together.
Ian L. Edwards

SNC-LAVALIN 2022 ANNUAL REPORT
In 2022, SNC‑Lavalin decisively
pivoted to look forward. The past
twelve months presented the
Company with heightened geopolitical
uncertainty and complexity, and
ensuing challenges including
supply chain disruptions, high
inflation and labour shortages.
Despite these global forces at play, and
with guidance from an engaged Board, the
executive leadership team was steadfast
in the rollout of the three-year growth
strategy that positions the Company
for the future and that remains firmly
committed to our purpose to engineer a
better future for our planet and its people.
Positioned for the future with the
deployment of the strategic growth plan
2022 was a decisive year for SNC‑Lavalin,
as the three-year strategic growth plan
unveiled in late 2021 unfolded and started
to yield results. The Company reached
a milestone in its transition away from
LSTK projects, with the two Ontario
projects largely physically complete.
This wind down of the last LSTK projects
should lead to positive free cash flow in
the second half of 2023, strengthening
the balance sheet and providing options
for capital allocation to stimulate
growth and reward shareholders.
With the transformation into a fully
integrated professional services and
project management company almost
complete, SNC‑Lavalin is positioned to
deliver sustainable growth going forward.
The Engineering Services business had
a solid performance again this year,
continuing to generate strong revenue
and backlog growth. In addition, the
renewed interest in nuclear energy as
the world becomes more engaged in the
path to Net Zero carbon emissions is
bolstering a sector where the Company
has a global competitive advantage.
LETTER FROM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD
8
SNC-LAVALIN 2022 ANNUAL REPORT
Broader perspective
from new Directors
The Board welcomed two new Directors
in 2022: Baroness Ruby McGregor-Smith
CBE and Québec-based Mr. Robert Paré.
Their combined experience and skills in
corporate governance and leadership
were a beneficial addition to support
SNC‑Lavalin in the deployment of its
growth strategy, and I feel privileged to
lead a Board with such deep expertise.
Together, the Directors are committed
to continue providing guidance to fulfill
the Company’s vision and oversight
to uphold the highest standards of
governance, all this to ensure the
longevity of SNC‑Lavalin as a purpose-
driven company. On behalf of the Board of
Directors and SNC‑Lavalin management,
I would also like to extend my gratitude to
outgoing Director Ms. Isabelle Courville,
who will not stand for re-election, for
her valued contribution to the Board.
Progressing on our ESG agenda
The Board is pleased with the continued
progress accomplished on SNC‑Lavalin’s
broad ESG agenda in 2022, both
internally on our integrity journey and
our ED&I and carbon targets, as well
as externally with our clients through
our Engineering Net Zero work.
Concerning ED&I, SNC‑Lavalin pursued
the implementation of a robust global
program which cascades into supporting
local action plans to maintain and create
a more representative and inclusive
culture for all its employees. The Board
notes the progress achieved this year
across all categories towards the 2025
gender diversity targets – to have at least
33% representation by women across
the Company and at least 25% among
managers and senior professionals
– with the most significant impact at
the executive leadership level. We will
continue to closely monitor progress.
In addition to executive compensation,
which is tied to integrity, HSE,
sustainability and ED&I performance
metrics, the Board supported another
layer of incentive to advance the ESG
agenda. SNC‑Lavalin extended its
corporate credit facilities, reducing
borrowing costs contingent upon the
achievement of certain ESG targets linked
to reducing greenhouse gas emissions
and to increasing gender diversity in
managerial and senior professional roles.
The GES Committee reviewed the
results of a comprehensive materiality
assessment undertaken to realign
the Company’s ESG priorities with
its vision and purpose. Developed
to be used as a basis for internal
and external communications going
forward, the materiality assessment
simplified model looks at twelve ESG
measurement categories that represent
priority societal issues that are most
material to SNC‑Lavalin’s activities as
an organization and across its projects.
The Board received the fourth and
last report from the independent
monitor, which highlights SNC‑Lavalin’s
tremendous progress in its integrity
journey: “ SNC‑Lavalin has expended
considerable effort remediating its ABC
(anti-bribery and corruption) Compliance
Program and transforming its culture
of ethics and compliance, resulting in
what we now view as one of Canada’s
leading ABC Compliance Programs.”(1)
The report confirms that the Company’s
integrity program now contains an
adequate continuous review and
improvement system to ensure the
program’s sustained robustness
and effectiveness over time.
The Board commends SNC‑Lavalin’s
leadership for the relentless work
accomplished since 2012 and
remains committed to overseeing
the evolution of the Company’s
best-in-class integrity program.
(1) The Final Report of the independent monitor, dated
December 18, 2022, is available on the Company’s website
at www.snclavalin.com under “Investors”/“Independent
monitor”/“Third Follow-up Review Report (December 2022)”.

SNC-LAVALIN 2022 ANNUAL REPORT
For its part, the Audit and Risk Committee
oversaw the comprehensive rollout of
the Company’s renewed ERM framework,
strategy, policies and governance,
following last year’s adoption of a
broader mandate to drive more robust
and effective governance around risks
the Company faces. Within this ERM
framework, strategic risks were identified
and are monitored by executive sponsors
who report on progress to the appropriate
Board Committees. Equipped with Key
Risk Indicators (KRIs) that were developed
to track and report on the evolution of
those strategic risks, the Board conducted
the first annual review of the new
ERM framework. Its operationalization
will continue in 2023 to ensure it is
integrated at all levels of the Company’s
projects and corporate functions.
I want to close by thanking our talented
global workforce for their continued
dedication and commitment to
SNC‑Lavalin and for their support in
building a future-facing Company.
I would also like to extend my
appreciation to the shareholders for
their ongoing support and confidence
in SNC‑Lavalin’s future as a world-
leading professional services and
project management firm.
