REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of BRP Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of BRP Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as at January 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of net income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows, for each of the two years in the period ended January 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at January 31, 2020 and 2019, and its financial performance and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended January 31, 2020, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of

January 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated April 9, 2020, expressed an adverse opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Change in Accounting Principle

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, effective February 1, 2019, the Company has changed its method of accounting for leases due to adoption of IFRS 16 – Leases.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Revenue – Refer to Note 2n and 22 to the Financial Statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company’s revenue consists of transactions sourced from multiple order entry systems and databases. The Company’s information technology (IT) environment is complex and includes multiple IT systems that are used to process revenue-related data and the Company relies on the output of these systems to process and record its revenue transactions.

Given the Company’s systems to process and record revenue are highly automated, there are potential risks arising from the capture, processing and transfer of data accurately and completely between the various IT systems. There was an impact due to the material weakness identified by management as described in the “Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting” section and as such, auditing revenue resulted in an increased extent of audit effort and the nature of audit procedures are designed to include information outside of the IT systems.

How the Critical Audit Matter was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the Company’s IT systems, software applications and automated controls used to process revenue transactions included the following, among others:

● With the assistance of IT specialists,

○ Assessed the general computer and automated controls for relevant IT systems used to process revenue transactions;

○ Assessed the interface outputs between relevant IT systems to determine that information transferred is accurate and complete;

○ Evaluated the service auditor reports on which the Company relies.

● Selected a sample of revenue transactions and performed the following:

○ Compared revenue from the IT system to the customer confirmation and cash receipts;

○ Matched revenues from the IT system to the approved pricing outside of the IT system;

○ Compared revenue selections to the third party bill of lading and;

○ Evaluated the reasonableness of manual journal entries posted to revenues in the general ledger.

Intangibles – Goodwill and Indefinite Useful Life Intangible Assets – Marine Group – Refer to Notes 2 and 10 to the Financial Statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company tests for impairment as at January 31 for goodwill and indefinite useful life intangible assets for the Marine Group of cash generating units (“Marine Group”). In determining the recoverable amount during the annual assessment of impairment of goodwill and indefinite useful life intangible assets for the Marine Group, management has determined that there is no impairment of goodwill and there is no impairment for indefinite useful life intangible assets.

While there are several assumptions that management is required to make to determine the recoverable amount of goodwill and indefinite useful life intangible assets for the Marine Group, the assumptions with the highest degree of subjectivity and impact on the recoverable amount are cash flow projections, discount rates, and market-based comparable transaction multiples and royalty rates. Changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on the recoverable amount of goodwill and indefinite useful life intangible assets for the Marine Group, resulting in an impairment charge as required. Auditing these assumptions required a high degree of auditor judgment, and resulted in an increased extent of audit effort, which included the need to involve fair value specialists.

How the Critical Audit Matter was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the cash flow projections, discount rates, and market-based comparable transaction multiples and royalty rates used by management to determine the recoverable amount for goodwill and indefinite useful life intangible assets for the Marine Group included the following, among others:

● Evaluated the effectiveness of controls over the determination of the cash flow projections and the selection of appropriate discount rates, and market-based comparable transaction multiples and royalty rates used in the recoverable amount calculation for goodwill and indefinite useful life intangible assets.

● Evaluated management’s ability to accurately forecast the cash flow projections by comparing actual results to cash flow projections used in the valuation models.

● Evaluated the reasonableness of the cash flow projections in the valuation models by comparing the projections to:

○ Analyst and industry reports for the Company and certain of its peer companies, and other relevant publicly available information;

○ Known changes in the Marine Group’s operations or the industry in which they operate, which are expected to impact the cash flow projections;

○ Internal communications to management and the Board of Directors.

● With the assistance of fair value specialists, evaluated the reasonableness of the (1) discount rates and (2) market-based comparable transaction multiples and royalty rates by:

○ Testing the source information underlying the determination of these assumptions.

○ Examining relevant internal and external information, including analyst and industry reports, to assess the reasonability of the selected values for these assumptions.

○ Developing a range of independent estimates and comparing those values to the ones determined and used by management in their modelling.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of BRP Inc.

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of BRP Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of January 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness identified below on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended January 31, 2020, of the Company and our report dated April 9, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements, and included an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s change in the method of accounting for leases due to the adoption of IFRS 16 – Leases.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Material Weakness

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weakness has been identified and included in management’s assessment:

A material weakness was identified over the design and maintenance of effective programs over certain information technology general controls (ITGCs) in the areas of access security, system change management and job processing for certain information technology (IT) systems that support the Company’s financial reporting processes. The control deficiencies, either individually or in the aggregate, constitute a material weakness relating to: (i) selecting and developing general control activities over technology to support the achievement of objectives, (ii) deploying control activities through policies that establish what is expected and procedures that put policies into action and (iii) obtaining or generating and using relevant, quality information to support the functioning of internal control. As a result of these deficiencies, the related process-level manual and automated application controls that rely on information generated from the affected information technology systems were also deemed ineffective because they could have been adversely impacted. This material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended January 31, 2020 of the Company, and this report does not affect our report on such financial statements.

For the purpose of preparing consolidated financial statements, the Company applies the following procedures on transactions and balances in currencies other than their functional currency. Monetary items are translated using exchange rates in effect at the consolidated statement of financial position date and non-monetary items are translated using exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. Revenues and expenses (other than depreciation, which is translated at the same exchange rates as the related assets) are translated using exchange rates in effect on the transaction dates or at the average exchange rates of the period. Translation gains or losses are recorded in the consolidated statement of net income.

Consolidation of foreign operations

All assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars at exchange rates in effect at the consolidated statement of financial position date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. The Company’s gains and losses on translation of foreign operations are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity until the Company no longer controls the foreign operation. At that time, gains or losses on translation accumulated in equity are entirely reclassified to net income.

d) Inventory valuation

Materials and work in progress, finished products and parts, accessories and apparel are valued at the lower of weighted average cost or net realizable value. The cost of work in progress and finished products manufactured by the Company includes the cost of materials, direct labour and directly attributable manufacturing overhead. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to complete the sale.

Inventories are written down to net realizable value when the cost of inventories is determined to be not fully recoverable. When the circumstances that previously caused inventories to be written down no longer exist or when there is clear evidence of an increase in net realizable value because of changed economic circumstances, the amount of write-down is reversed.

e) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment includes land, building, equipment and tooling held for use in the development, production and distribution activities or for administrative purposes. They are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment charges.

The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment includes its purchase price and any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating, which also includes the borrowing costs incurred during the construction.

Property, plant and equipment is depreciated, with the exception of land, using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. If an item of property, plant and equipment is composed of significant components having different estimated useful lives, depreciation is calculated on a component basis using the straight-line method over their respective useful lives. The Company’s estimated useful lives per category are the following:

Tooling	3 to 7 years
Equipment	3 to 20 years
Building	10 to 60 years

Depreciation of assets under development begins when they are ready for their intended use.

The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at each year-end, with the effect of any changes in estimates accounted for on a prospective basis.

Fully depreciated building, equipment and tooling are retained in the cost and accumulated depreciation accounts until such assets are removed from service. In the case of disposals, cost and related accumulated depreciation amounts are removed from the consolidated statement of financial position, and the net amounts, less proceeds from disposal, is recorded in the consolidated statement of net income.

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment in order to determine if there is any indication that those assets may be impaired. If any such indication exists, an impairment test is performed as described below in paragraph h).

f) Intangible assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of businesses acquired over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is systematically tested for impairment as at January 31 or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the cash generating unit (“CGU”) level representing the lowest level at which management monitors it.

Trademarks are carried at cost and are not depreciated due to their indefinite expected useful lives for the Company. The assessment of indefinite expected useful lives is reviewed at each year-end. Trademarks are systematically tested for impairment as at January 31 or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Trademarks are tested for impairment with the CGU to which they relate.

Software and licences, patents, dealer networks and customer relationships are carried at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which are as follows:

Software and licences	3 to 5 years
Patents	10 years
Dealer networks	5 to 20 years
Customer relationships	10 to 15 years

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its software and licences, dealer networks and customer relationships in order to determine if there is any indication that those assets may be impaired. If any such indication exists, an impairment test is performed as described below in paragraph h).

Expenditures related to research and development activities are recognized as expense in the period in which they are incurred, except for development activities if specific criteria for capitalization as intangible assets are met.

g) Leases

Policy applicable from February 1, 2019

At inception, the Company assesses whether the contract is or contains a lease. Leases are recognized as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date. Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized as an expense.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by using the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments (when applicable):

● Fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives;

● Variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate;

● Amounts expected to be payable under residual value guarantees;

● Exercise price of purchase options if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and

● Penalties for early termination of a lease, except if the Company is reasonably certain not to terminate early.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [CONTINUED]

g) Leases [continued]

Policy applicable from February 1, 2019 [continued]

The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The lease liability is remeasured, and a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets, when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, from a change in the estimation of a residual value guarantee or from a change in the assumption of purchase, extension or termination option. The lease liability is also remeasured when the underlying lease contract is amended.

The Company accounts for each lease component and any associated non-lease components as a single lease component.

The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which includes the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement date and any initial direct costs, less any incentives received. The right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter period of lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation starts at the commencement date of the lease. In addition, the right-of-use asset is reduced by impairment losses resulting from impairment tests as described below in paragraph h), if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

Policy applicable before February 1, 2019

The determination of whether an arrangement was or contained a lease was based on the substance of the arrangement and required an assessment by the Company of whether the arrangement conveyed a right to use the asset. Leases were classified as finance leases if the terms of the lease transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the Company. Otherwise, leases were classified as operating leases.

Operating lease expense were recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Finance lease payments were recorded at the present value at the inception of the lease and apportioned at each disbursement date between financing costs and the lease liability using the implicit interest rate of the lease. They were presented in property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and long-term debt in the consolidated statement of financial position.

h) Impairment of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and right-of-use assets

An asset is impaired when its carrying amount is above its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is determined for each individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. In that case, the asset is assessed for impairment within a CGU, representing the lowest level of assets for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows. The recoverable amount of an asset or a CGU is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Value in use is determined using a discounted future net cash flows approach. Fair value less costs to sell reflects the amount the Company could obtain from the asset’s disposal in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, after deducting the costs of disposal. If there is no active market for the asset, the fair value is assessed by using appropriate valuations models dependent on the nature of the asset or CGU, such as discounted cash flow models. The impairment charge recorded in the consolidated statement of net income is the difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount.

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amount of assets (excluding goodwill) or CGU impaired in previous periods in order to determine if there is any indication that its recoverable amount has increased. If any such indication exists, an impairment test is performed and the impairment recovery is recorded in the consolidated statement of net income up to the carrying amount that would have existed had the impairment charge never been recorded in prior years.

i) Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset for one party and a financial liability or equity for another party. Financial instruments are initially recorded at fair value when the Company becomes a party to the transaction and are subsequently revalued at fair value or amortized cost at the end of each reporting period depending on their classification.

When the Company acquires or issues a financial instrument that is not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issuance are incorporated in the carrying amount and amortized in the consolidated statement of net income using the effective interest rate method. When the Company acquires or issues a financial instrument measured at fair value through profit or loss, all transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

A modification of financial liabilities that includes a prepayment option at par with no break costs is equivalent to an extinguishment. When a modification is accounted for as an extinguishment, the original financial instrument is derecognized, including any unamortized transaction costs and any costs or fees incurred related to the modification, and the new instrument arising from the modification is recognized at fair value.

i) Financial instruments [continued]

Financial assets and financial liabilities other than derivatives

At the end of each reporting period, financial assets and financial liabilities that are not derivatives are measured at fair value or amortized cost using the effective interest method depending on the following classification:

● Restricted investments are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income at the end of each reporting period.

● Cash and trade and other receivables are measured at amortized cost at the end of each reporting period.

● Non-controlling interest liability is measured at fair value through net income at the end of each reporting period.

● Revolving credit facilities, trade payables and accruals, other financial liabilities, long-term debt and lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost at the end of each reporting period.

Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments are financial assets or financial liabilities recorded at fair value through profit or loss. They are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period including those derivatives that are embedded in financial and non-financial contracts that are not closely related to the host contract.

In the consolidated statement of net income, changes in fair value of derivatives used to manage foreign exchange exposure on working capital elements are recorded in other operating expenses (income).

Derivative financial instruments under cash flow hedge accounting

The Company applies cash flow hedge accounting when forecasted cash flows are highly probable to occur and all other cash flow hedge criteria are met. The effective portion of the change of fair value of derivative financial instruments designated as hedging items under the cash flow hedge model is recorded in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity until the hedged transaction is recognized in the consolidated statement of net income. The ineffective portion is recognized in the consolidated statement of net income at each period end. The Company makes an assessment, both at the inception of the hedge relationship as well as on an ongoing basis, whether the hedging instruments are expected to be effective in offsetting the cash flows of the respective hedged items during the period for which the hedge is designated.

If a derivative financial instrument accounted for using the cash flow hedge model has been settled prior to maturity or the hedge relationship is no longer meeting cash flow hedge criteria, accumulated gains or losses associated with the derivative financial instrument remain in equity as long as the underlying hedged transaction is expected to occur and are recognized in the consolidated statement of net income in the period in which the underlying hedged transaction is recognized in the consolidated statement of net income. In the event that the underlying hedged transaction is settled prior to maturity or is not expected to occur anymore, gains or losses accumulated in equity at this date are immediately reclassified in the consolidated statement of net income. Gains or losses related to derivative financial instruments accounted for using the cash flow hedge model are recorded in the same category as the hedged item in the consolidated statement of net income.

j) Derecognition of receivables

Receivables are derecognized from the consolidated statement of financial position only when the Company’s contractual rights to the cash flows expire or when the Company has transferred to a third party substantially all the risks and rewards on receivables sold.

k) Dealer holdback programs

The Company provides dealer incentive programs whereby at the time of shipment, the Company invoices an amount to the dealer that is reimbursable upon ultimate sale and warranty registration of the product. The Company presents the amounts due to dealers in other current financial liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position.

l) Provisions

Provisions represent liabilities for which the amount or timing of payment is uncertain. Provisions are recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. Additionally, provisions are recorded for contracts under which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations exceed the economic benefits expected to be received.

Provisions are measured at each period end at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation. To account for the effect of the time value of money, provisions are measured at the present value of the outflows required to settle the obligation using a risk free rate adjusted to the specific risk of the obligation. They are re-measured at each consolidated statement of financial position date using interest rates prevailing at this date and an interest expense is recorded to reflect the passage of time.

The main provisions of the Company are described in more detail below:

Products related provisions

When the products are sold, the Company records a provision related to limited product warranties covering periods from six months to five years.

The Company records a provision for product liability claims or possible claims incurred but not reported at the end of each reporting period.

The Company provides for estimated sales promotions at time of revenue recognition. Examples of these costs include product rebates given to clients, volume discounts and retail financing programs. In the consolidated statement of net income, cash sales promotions are recorded as a reduction of revenues whereas non-cash sales promotions, such as delivery of free products, are included in cost of sales.

Restructuring provision

The Company provides for estimated direct restructuring costs to be incurred in a restructuring plan in the period the Company has a detailed formal plan describing the restructuring activity and has communicated the main features of the plan to those affected by it.

m) Employee benefits

Current benefits

The Company records an expense in the consolidated statement of net income for wages, salaries, bonuses, share based compensations and social security contributions of employees in the period the services are rendered. Current benefit associated with manufacturing employees is included in the cost of inventory produced as described above in paragraph d).

Future benefits

The Company sponsors several Canadian and foreign funded and unfunded defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans covering most of its employees. The Company also provides other post-retirement benefit plans to certain employees.

Defined benefit plans and other post-retirement benefit plans

Annual costs of defined benefit pension plans and other post-retirement benefit plans, which include current service costs, net interest costs and past service costs, is actuarially determined using the projected unit credit method based on management’s best estimate of discount rates, salary escalation, retirement ages of employees, life expectancy, inflation and health care costs.

Current service costs are recorded in the consolidated statement of net income when employees are rendering the services to the Company. For manufacturing employees, current service costs are included in the cost of inventory produced as described above in paragraph d).

Net interest costs are recorded in the consolidated statement of net income at each period following the passage of time.

Past service costs (gains) arising from the change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from a plan amendment or a curtailment are recorded in the consolidated statement of net income when the plan amendment or the curtailment occurs. A curtailment arises from a transaction that significantly reduces the number of employees covered by a plan.

In the consolidated statement of net income, costs related to defined benefit pension plans and other post-retirement benefit plans are classified separately depending on their nature. Current service costs and past service costs (gains) are presented within operating income whereas the net interest expense on the employee future benefit liability is presented in financing costs.

The liability recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position is the present value of the plan obligations less the fair value of the plan assets at that date. Plan obligations are determined based on expected future benefit payments discounted using market interest rates prevailing as at January 31 and plan assets are stated at their fair value at that date. Actuarial gains and losses that arise in calculating the present value of plan obligations and the fair value of plan assets are recorded in other comprehensive income and accumulated directly in retained earnings (losses).

Defined contribution plans

Defined contribution plan expenses are recorded in the consolidated statement of net income when employees are rendering the services to the Company. Expenses associated with manufacturing employees are included in the cost of inventory produced as described above in paragraph d). Defined contribution plan expenses are entirely presented within operating income.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [CONTINUED]

n) Revenue recognition

The Company’s revenues are derived primarily from the sale of products and related parts and accessories. Each sale is considered as a single performance obligation and revenues are recognized when products are shipped, which correspond to the point in time when the Customers have obtained control of the asset and the Company has satisfied its performance obligation. Revenues are measured at an amount equal to the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled, which takes into account sales promotions and expected returns to occur after the shipment date. When, in addition to the regular warranty coverage, an extended warranty coverage is given with the purchase of the product, a portion of the revenue representing the value of the extended warranty is deferred. The value deferred is based on the stand-alone selling price of both the unit sold and the extended warranty given. The deferred revenue is then recognized over the extended warranty coverage period.

o) Government assistance

Government assistance, including research and development tax credits, is recorded when the Company is complying with the assistance program requirements and the recovery is reasonably assured. Government assistance received but contingently repayable is recorded in the consolidated statement of net income as long as it is probable that the conditions for repayment will not be met. Government assistance granted to compensate expenses are presented in the consolidated statement of net income as a reduction of the expense they relate to, whereas assistance granted for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment is deducted from the cost of the related asset.

p) Stock-based compensation

The Company grants stock options to officers and employees that are settled by the issuance of common shares. The Company establishes compensation expense for those grants based on the fair value of each tranche of option at the grant date. The compensation expense is recognized in the consolidated statement of net income over the vesting period of each tranche based on the number of options that are ultimately expected to vest. The Company estimates stock option forfeitures at time of grant and revises those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The corresponding amount is recorded in contributed surplus within equity.

q) Income taxes

The Company’s income tax expense represents the sum of the taxes currently payable based on taxable income of the year and deferred taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates and laws expected to be in effect when the differences reverse. Current and deferred income taxes are recognized in the consolidated statement of net income except to the extent it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the related tax is recognized in other comprehensive income or in equity.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [CONTINUED]

r) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of common shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential common shares from stock option plans. For the stock options, a calculation is done to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determined as the average annual share price of the Company’s shares) based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to outstanding stock options.

s) Business combinations

Business combinations are recorded by using the acquisition method. Under this method, the purchase consideration is allocated to identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and contingent liabilities (“Net assets”) based on the fair value at the acquisition date, with the excess of the purchase consideration amount allocated to goodwill. Provisional fair values allocated at a reporting date are finalized as soon as the relevant information is available, which period shall not exceed twelve months from the acquisition date and are adjusted to reflect the transaction as of the acquisition date.

The results of the acquired businesses are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.

Intangible assets and goodwill arising from business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method of accounting to these transactions. In measuring the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed and estimating their useful lives, the Company uses significant estimates and assumptions regarding cash flow projections, economic risk, and weighted average cost of capital. These estimates and assumptions determine the amount allocated to intangible assets and goodwill, as well as the amortization period for intangible assets with finite lives.

t) Segmented information

Operating segments are components of an entity that engage in business activities from which they earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses related to transactions with the other components of the entity). The related operations can be clearly distinguished and the revenues and gross profit are regularly reviewed by a chief operating decision-maker to make resource allocation decisions and to assess performance.

The Company has two operating and reportable segments: Powersports and Marine. The Powersports segment includes Year-Round Products, Seasonal Products and Powersports PA&A and OEM Engines. The Marine segment includes outboard and jet boat engines, boats and related PA&A and other services.

3. SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies requires management to make estimates and judgments that can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, related amounts of revenues and expenses, other comprehensive income and disclosures made.

a) Significant estimates in applying the Company’s accounting policies

The Company’s best estimates are based on the information, facts and circumstances available at the time estimates are made. Management uses historical experience and information, general economic conditions and trends, as well as assumptions regarding probable future outcomes as the basis for determining estimates. Estimates and their underlying assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of any changes are recognized immediately. Actual results could differ from the estimates used and such differences could be significant.

The Company’s annual operating budget and operating budget revisions performed during the year (collectively “Budget”) and the Company’s strategic plan comprise fundamental information used as a basis for some significant estimates necessary to prepare these consolidated financial statements. Management prepares the annual operating budget and strategic plan each year using a process whereby a detailed one-year budget and three-year strategic plan are prepared by each entity and then consolidated.

Cash flows and profitability included in the Budget are based on the existing and future expected sales orders, general market conditions, current cost structures, anticipated cost variations and current agreements with third parties. Management uses the annual operating budget information as well as additional projections or assumptions to derive the expected results for the strategic plan and periods thereafter.

The Budget and the strategic plan are approved by management and the Board of Directors. Management then tracks performance as compared to the Budget. Significant variances in actual performance are a key trigger to assess whether certain estimates used in the preparation of financial information must be revised.

Management needs to rely on estimates in order to apply the Company’s accounting policies and considers that the most critical ones are the following:

Estimating the net realizable value of inventory

The net realizable value of materials and work in progress is determined by comparing inventory components and value with production needs, current and future product features, expected production costs to be incurred and the expected profitability of finished products. The net realizable value of finished products and parts, accessories and apparel is determined by comparing inventory components and value with expected sales prices, sales programs and new product features.

Estimating the useful life of tooling

Tooling useful life is estimated by product line based on their expected physical life and on the expected life of the product platform to which they are related.

a) Significant estimates in applying Company’s accounting policies [continued]

Estimating the fair value of Net assets acquired in business combinations

The acquisition method, which requires significant estimates and judgments, is used to record business combinations. As part of the allocation process, estimated fair values are assigned to the Net assets acquired, including trademark and dealer network. The estimation is based on the Company’s expectations with respect to future cash flows, economic conditions and discount rate. The excess of the purchase consideration over the estimated fair value of the Net assets acquired is then assigned to goodwill.

Estimating impairment on property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and right-of-use assets

Management assesses the value in use of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and right-of-use assets mainly at groups of CGU level using a discounted cash flow approach by product line based on annual budget and strategic plan process. When the Company acquired the recreational products business from Bombardier Inc. in 2003, trademarks and goodwill were recorded as part of the business acquisition. Trademarks of $136.0 million and goodwill of $114.7 million were related to this transaction as at January 31, 2020 and 2019 respectively. In addition, trademarks of $83.2 million and goodwill of $115.5 million were recorded following various business combinations that occurred after 2003.

Trademarks and goodwill impairment test

For the purpose of impairment testing, trademarks are allocated to their respective CGU. As at January 31, 2020, the carrying amount of trademarks amounting to $219.2 million is related to Ski-Doo, Sea-Doo, Evinrude, Alumacraft, Manitou, Quintrex, Stacer and Savage for $63.5 million, $59.1 million, $13.4 million, $25.7 million, $38.5 million, $13.9 million, $4.4 million and $0.7 million respectively. As at January 31, 2019, the carrying amount of trademarks amounting to $199.8 million was related to Ski-Doo, Sea-Doo, Evinrude, Alumacraft and Manitou for $63.5 million, $59.1 million, $13.4 million, $25.6 million and $38.2 million respectively.

Following the creation of the Powersports and Marine segments during the year ended January 31, 2019, the Company has fully allocated the goodwill of $114.7 million created in 2003 to the Powersports segment while goodwill of $21.0 million related to Alumacraft Boat Co. acquisition and $33.3 million related to Triton Industries, Inc. acquisition was allocated to their respective CGU. Goodwill of $60.0 million related to the Telwater acquisition was allocated to its respective CGU as at January 31, 2020.

Recoverable amount

The recoverable amount for the group of CGU is based on a value-in-use calculation using cash flow projections, which takes into account the Company’s one-year budget and three-year strategic plan, with a terminal value calculated by discounting the final year in perpetuity. The figures used as the basis for the key assumptions in the value-in-use calculation includes sales volume, sales price, production costs, distribution costs and operating expenses as well as discount rates. This information represents the best available information as at the date of impairment testing. The estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate of 10.9% to 14.0%. These discount rates were calculated by adding to the Company’s weighted average cost of capital the risk factor associated with the product line tested. In assessing value in use, growth rates between 0.0% and 1.5% were used to calculate the terminal value. In addition, a market approach was performed to assess the reasonability of the conclusions reached.

Estimating impairment on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets [continued]

Sensitivity analysis

The Company performs sensitivity analysis on the cash flows and discount rates in order to confirm that the trademarks and goodwill are not impaired. The analyses are presented in isolation from one another and all the other estimates are unchanged. The result is that a 5% decrease in the estimated future cash flows or an increase of 100 basis points in the discount rates used would not have resulted in an impairment during the year ended January 31, 2020.

Estimating recoverability of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognized only if management believes it is probable that they will be realized based on annual budget, strategic plan and additional projections to derive the expected results for the periods thereafter.

Estimating provisions for product regular warranty, product liability, sales program and restructuring

The regular warranty cost is established by product line and recorded at the time of sale based on management’s best estimate, using historical cost rates and trends. Adjustments to the regular warranty provision are made when the Company identifies a significant and recurring issue on products sold or when costs and trend differences are identified in the analysis of warranty claims.

The product liability provision at period end is based on management’s best estimate of the amounts necessary to resolve existing claims. In addition, the product liability provision at the end of the reporting period includes incurred, but not reported claims based on average historical cost information.

Sales program provision is estimated based on current program features, historical data and expected retail sales for each product line.

Estimating the discount rates used in assessing defined benefit plan expenses and liability

In order to select the discount rates used to determine defined benefit plan expenses and liabilities, management consults with external actuarial firms to provide commonly used and applicable discount rates that are based on the yield of high quality corporate fixed income investments with cash flows that match expected benefit payments for each defined benefit plan. Management uses its knowledge and comprehension of general economic factors in order to conclude on the accuracy of the discount rates used.

Estimating the incremental borrowing rate used in measuring lease liability

Management makes estimates in the determination of the incremental borrowing rate used to measure the lease liability for each lease contract when the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily available. The incremental borrowing rate should reflect the interest rate the Company would have to pay to borrow the same asset at a similar term and with a similar security.

Estimating the lease term

On commencement date, when determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option or not exercise a termination option. Extension options or periods subject to termination options are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended or not terminated. This assessment is reviewed if a significant change in circumstances occurs within the Company’s control.

b) Significant judgments in applying the Company’s accounting policies

Management needs to make certain judgments in order to apply the Company’s accounting policies and the most significant ones are the following:

Impairment of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and right-of-use assets

The Company operates using a high level of integration and interdependency between design, development, manufacturing and distribution operations. The cash inflows generated by each product line require the use of various assets of the Company, limiting the impairment testing to be done for a single asset. Therefore, management performs impairment testing by grouping assets into CGUs.

Functional currency

The Company operates worldwide, but its design, development, manufacturing and distribution operations are highly integrated, which require significant judgements from management in order to determine the functional currency of each entity using factors provided by IAS 21 “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”. Management established the functional currency of each entity as its local currency unless the assessment of the criteria established by IAS 21 to assess the functional currency leads to the determination of another currency. IAS 21 criteria are reviewed annually for each entity and are based on transactions with third-parties only.

4. FUTURE ACCOUNTING CHANGES

Amendments to IFRS 3 Business combinations

In October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 3 “Business combinations”. The amendments clarify the definition of a business, with the objective of assisting entities in determining whether a transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or as an asset acquisition. The amendments are effective for the Company to transactions for which the acquisition date is on or after February 1, 2020. The Company will apply these amendments to applicable future acquisition transactions.

Other standards or amendments

The IASB has issued other standards or amendments to existing standards that are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

5. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Transaction for the year ended January 31, 2020

On August 1, 2019, the Company acquired 80% of the outstanding shares of Telwater Pty Ltd (“Telwater”) for a purchase consideration of Australian $120.8 million ($113.2 million), paid in cash. Telwater is located in Coomera, Queensland (Australia) and is a manufacturer of boats under brands such as Quintrex, Stacer and Savage.

The acquisition allows the Company to pursue its growth strategy in the marine market, and to create synergies with the existing operations of the Company.

The value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interest were as follows, as at the acquisition date:

	Total
Assets acquired
Current assets		$14.4
Non-current assets		1.7
Property, plant and equipment		35.0
Trademarks		19.5
Dealer network		28.2
Goodwill [a] [b]		60.0
Total assets acquired		158.8
Liabilities assumed
Current liabilities		(10.5	)
Non-current liabilities		(15.7	)
Total liabilities assumed		(26.2	)
Non-controlling interest [c]		(19.4	)
Total consideration paid in cash		$113.2

^[a]  Goodwill arises principally from expected synergies and future growth.

^[b]  Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

^[c]  Non-controlling interest is measured at fair value as at the acquisition date.

The Company’s consolidated statement of net income includes the operating results of Telwater since the acquisition date. For the year ended January 31, 2020, it represents revenues of $39.6 million. Net income for the year ended January 31, 2020 was not significant.

If the Company had acquired Telwater at the beginning of the year ended January 31, 2020, it would have increased revenues by approximately $28 million.

The Company incurred acquisition-related costs of $0.9 million, which have been recorded in general and administrative expenses.

As part of the acquisition, the Company and the non-controlling interest shareholders in Telwater (the “Parties”) entered into put and call options, exercisable by the Parties at any time after the second anniversary of the acquisition, allowing or requiring the Company to acquire all the remaining shares for cash consideration according to a predetermined purchase price formula based on Telwater’s performance. At the acquisition date, the Company recorded a financial liability and reduced the non-controlling interests by $19.4 million, representing the estimated present value of the redemption amount. As a result, no profit is attributed to the non-controlling interest. Subsequent remeasurement adjustments of the financial liability will be recorded in the consolidated statements of net income.

11. LEASES

In January 2016, the International Accounting Standards Board issued IFRS 16 that sets out the principles for recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessee and lessor. IFRS 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability measured at the present value of the future lease payments on the statements of financial position for a majority of its leases that were considered operating leases under IAS 17 “Leases” (“IAS 17”). A depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset and an interest expense on the lease liability replace the operating lease expense. IFRS 16 changes the presentation of cash flows relating to leases in the statements of cash flows but does not cause a difference in the amount of cash transferred between the parties of a lease.

The Company decided to apply the standard retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as at February 1, 2019, the date of initial application, in accordance with the transition rules of IFRS 16. Therefore, the Company has not restated comparative information. The methodology consisted of measuring the right-of-use asset at the date of transition as if IFRS 16 had been applied since the commencement date of the lease but discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application. The lease liability was initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that were not paid at the date of transition, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application.

The Company applied the standard to contracts that were previously identified as leases applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 “Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease” (“IFRIC 4”) at the date of initial application and maintained the lease assessments made under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4. Therefore, the definition of a lease under IFRS 16 was applied only to contracts signed or changed after February 1, 2019.

On initial application, the Company also applied the practical expedients to use hindsight in determining the lease term when the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease, to rely on its assessment of whether leases are onerous immediately before the date of initial application instead of performing an impairment review and to exclude initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset.

11. LEASES [CONTINUED]

The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities as at February 1, 2019 was 4.12%. Prior to adopting IFRS 16, the Company’s minimum commitments under operating lease agreements as at January 31, 2019 were $249.5 million. The difference between that amount and the lease liabilities of $217.1 million as at February 1, 2019 was mainly attributable to the effect of discounting on the minimum lease payments.

The main leasing activities of the Company are attributable to the Company’s manufacturing facilities located in Finland and in Mexico, to offices located in Canada and to warehouses used for the distribution of parts, accessories and apparel.

The following table explains the changes in right-of-use assets during the year ended January 31, 2020:

12. REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITIES

On March 14, 2019, the Company amended its $575.0 million revolving credit facilities to increase the availability by $125.0 million for a total availability of $700.0 million, to extend the maturity from May 2023 to May 2024 and to improve the pricing grid (the “Revolving Credit Facilities”). The Company incurred transaction fees of $1.5 million related to this amendment, which are amortized over the expected life of the Revolving Credit Facilities.

On May 23, 2018, the Company refinanced its $475.0 million revolving credit facilities to increase the availability by $100.0 million for a total availability of $575.0 million, to extend the maturity from June 2021 to May 2023 and to reduce the cost of borrowing by 0.25%. The Company incurred transaction fees of $2.6 million related to this refinancing.

The applicable interest rates vary depending on a leverage ratio. The leverage ratio is defined in the Revolving Credit Facilities agreement by the ratio of net debt to consolidated cash flows of the Company (the “Leverage ratio”). The applicable interest rates are as follows:

(i) U.S. dollars at either

(a) LIBOR plus 1.45% to 3.00% per annum; or

(b) U.S. Base Rate plus 0.45% to 2.00% per annum; or

(c) U.S. Prime Rate plus 0.45% to 2.00% per annum;

(ii) Canadian dollars at either

(a) Bankers’ Acceptance plus 1.45% to 3.00% per annum; or

(b) Canadian Prime Rate plus 0.45% to 2.00% per annum

Under security arrangements, amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facilities and the term facility (the “Credit Facilities”) are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company.

a) Term Facility

On July 23, 2019, the Company amended its term facility to add a new U.S. $335.0 million tranche for a total principal of U.S. $1,235.0 million (the “Term Facility”). The Term Facility agreement contains customary representations and warranties but includes no financial covenants. The Company incurred transaction costs of $6.5 million, which have been incorporated in the carrying amount of the Term Facility and are amortized over its expected life using the effective interest rate method.

On May 23, 2018, the Company refinanced its term facility to increase the principal amount by U.S. $111.0 million for a total principal of U.S. $900.0 million, to extend the maturity from June 2023 to May 2025 and to reduce the cost of borrowing by 0.50%. The Company incurred transaction costs of $8.9 million.

16. LONG-TERM DEBT [CONTINUED]

a) Term Facility [continued]

As at January 31, 2020, the cost of borrowing under the initial tranche of the Term Facility was as follows:

(i) LIBOR plus 2.00% per annum, with a LIBOR floor of 0.00%; or

(ii) U.S. Base Rate plus 1.00%; or

(iii) U.S. Prime Rate plus 1.00%

As at January 31, 2020, the cost of borrowing under the new tranche of the Term Facility was as follows:

(i) LIBOR plus 2.50% per annum, with a LIBOR floor of 0.00%; or

(ii) U.S. Base Rate plus 1.50%; or

(iii) U.S. Prime Rate plus 1.50%

Under the Term Facility, the cost of borrowing in U.S. Base Rate or U.S. Prime Rate cannot be lower than the cost of borrowing in LIBOR.

The Company is required to repay a minimum of 0.25% of the original nominal amount of U.S. $1,235.0 million each quarter. Consequently, the Company repaid an amount of U.S. $10.7 million ($14.1 million) during the year ended January 31, 2020. Also, the Company may be required to repay a portion of the Term Facility in the event that it has an excess cash position at the end of the fiscal year and its leverage ratio is above a certain threshold level. As at January 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company was not required to repay any portion of the Term Facility under this requirement.

b) Term Loans

During the year ended January 31, 2020, the Company entered into term loan agreements at favourable interest rates under Austrian government programs. These programs support research and development projects based on the Company’s incurred expenses in Austria. The term loans have a total nominal amount of euro 11.5 million ($17.2 million), interest rates at 0.95% (1.12% starting in July 2024) or at Euribor three-months plus 0.99% with a floor at 1.00% and maturities between March 2024 and December 2030. The Company recognized a grant of euro 1.9 million ($2.9 million) as a reduction of research and development expenses representing the difference between the fair value of the term loans at inception and the cash received.

During the year ended January 31, 2019, the Company entered into term loan agreements at favourable interest rates under Austrian government programs. These programs support research and development projects based on the Company’s incurred expenses in Austria. The term loans have a total nominal amount of euro 2.4 million ($3.6 million), interest rates at Euribor three-months plus 1.00% and maturities between December 2022 and December 2023.

17. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Employee benefits expenses, which represent the expenses related to all forms of consideration provided by the Company in exchange for services rendered by its employees, were as follows:

	Years ended
	January 31, 2020		January 31, 2019
Current remuneration		$845.0		$756.0
Post-employment defined benefit plans		11.7		10.9
Post-employment defined contribution plans		34.8		32.1
Termination benefits		4.0		2.3
Stock-based compensation (Note 19)		13.0		11.1
Other long-term benefits		3.6		2.9
Total		$912.1		$815.3

a) Post-employment benefits

The Company sponsors defined contribution retirement plans and non-contributory defined benefit plans that provide for pensions and other post-retirement benefits to a majority of its employees.

Canadian employees

The Company sponsors defined benefit pension plans and other post-retirement benefit plans for its Canadian executive employees and defined contribution plans for executive and non-executive employees. Additionally, the Company retained defined benefit obligations with certain active and former employees for services rendered prior to 2005.

The Company’s other post-retirement benefit plans provide during retirement non-contributory life insurance benefits and healthcare benefits to eligible employees that are funded on a pay-as-you-go basis. The healthcare benefits are payable from retirement to age 65.

The defined benefit plans are registered with the governments and follow their applicable laws. The plans are governed by a retirement committee composed of representatives from the employer and the employees. The retirement committee delegated its responsibilities to the investment committee, which is responsible for the investment policy with regard to the assets of the fund. This committee is composed of representatives from the employer. The plans have a strategy to decrease the risk level by increasing progressively, when the solvency of the plans will improve, the part of the plan assets in long-term fixed income securities. The Company contributes to the plans the minimum funding obligations required under the current regulations. The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligations is approximately 16 years. As at January 31, 2020, the Company expects that 50% of the future payments associated with its Canadian defined benefit obligations will be paid in the next 17 years.

In addition, the Company sponsors a defined benefit retirement plan to provide supplemental pension benefits to its executives (“SERP”).

United States employees

In the United States, the Company offers a defined contribution plan to its employees as well as a defined benefit final average earnings non-registered supplementary executive retirement plan for its executive employees (“SERP”).

17. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS [CONTINUED]

a) Post employment benefits [continued]

European employees

The Company’s sponsors defined contribution plans to its employees in most of its European entities. In addition, the Company maintains an unfunded defined benefit plan and sponsors a lump sum retirement indemnity plan in Austria. Under the defined benefit plan, the benefits are based on such employees’ length of service, applicable pension accrual rates and compensation at retirement. Under the lump sum retirement indemnity plan, the benefits are based on the length of service and compensation at retirement. These plans are regulated by the applicable Austrian laws. The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation is approximately 15 years. As at January 31, 2020, the Company expects that 50% of the future payments associated with its Austrian defined benefit obligations will be paid in the next 15 years.

As at January 31, 2020, the remaining liabilities of $1.0 million related to the termination of the defined benefit plan coverage for some of the Austrian employees and presented in other financial liabilities (Note 15) will be settled over the next three fiscal years.

b) Defined benefit plans

Actuarial risks

The significant actuarial risks to which the plans expose the Company are as follows:

Market related risks

Investment risk

The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated using a discount rate determined by reference to high quality corporate fixed income investments. If the return on plan assets is below this rate, it will increase the plan liability. Currently, the funded plans have investments in equity securities and fixed income securities. Due to the long-term nature of the plan liabilities, the Company considers it appropriate that a reasonable portion of the plan assets should be invested in equity securities and income securities to leverage the return generated by the fund.

Interest risk

A decrease in the fixed income investments interest rate will increase the plans’ liabilities. However, for funded plans, this will be partially offset by an increase in the fair value of the plans’ fixed income securities.

Employee related risks

Longevity risk

The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plans’ liabilities.

Salary risk

The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plans’ liabilities.

	Canada	Foreign	Canada	Foreign
Benefit cost actuarial assumptions [a]

Net interest cost	3.85%	1.65%	3.70%	1.64%
Expected rate of compensation increase	3.00%	3.00%	3.00%	3.00%
Mortality table	CPM 2014 Private	AVOE 2018	CPM 2014 Private	AVOE 2008

Mortality table	CPM 2014 Private	AVOE 2018	CPM 2014 Private	AVOE 2018

^[a] Determined as at beginning of the reporting periods

^[b] Determined as at end of the reporting periods

The discount rate represents the market rate for high quality corporate fixed income investments consistent with the currency and the estimated term of the defined benefit plan obligation. The expected rate of compensation increase is determined considering the current salary structure, historical and anticipated wage increases.

Health care cost trend

The health care cost is assumed to increase to a rate of 5.33% in fiscal year 2021 and to a rate that will gradually decline over the next 14 years to reach 3.33% in fiscal year 2034. After this date, the rate is assumed to remain at 3.33%. An increase of 1% of the health care cost trend rate would not have a significant impact on the defined benefit cost and on the defined benefit obligations for the years ended January 31, 2020 and 2019.

Sensitivity analysis

Actuarial assumptions that influence significantly the determination of the defined benefit obligations of the Company are the discount rate, the expected rate of compensation increase and the participants’ longevity. The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.

The impact on employee future benefit liabilities would be the following as at January 31, 2020:

	Increase (Decrease) of the liabilities
Discount rate
Impact of a 0.5% increase		$(41.1	)
Impact of a 0.5% decrease		47.3
Expected rate of compensation increase
Impact of a 0.5% increase		11.4
Impact of a 0.5% decrease		(9.8	)
Participant longevity
Impact of a 1 year increase		12.1
Impact of a 1 year decrease		(12.3	)

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the potential change in the employee future benefit liabilities as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation from one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

a) Normal course issuer bid program (“NCIB”)

On March 22, 2019, the Company announced the renewal of its NCIB to repurchase for cancellation up to 4,170,403 of its outstanding subordinate voting shares. During the year ended January 31, 2020, the Company repurchased a total of 2,955,555 subordinate voting shares for a total consideration of $151.5 million.

As at January 31, 2020, a $70.3 million financial liability, with a corresponding amount in equity, was recorded in the consolidated statements of financial position in relation with the NCIB. This liability represented the value of subordinate voting shares expected to be repurchased by a designated broker under an automatic share purchase plan from February 1^st to March 23, 2020. This automatic share purchase plan allows for the purchase of subordinate voting shares under pre-set conditions at times when the Company would ordinarily not be permitted due to regulatory restrictions or self-imposed blackout periods. These subordinate voting shares are included in the outstanding subordinate voting shares as at January 31, 2020.

For the year ended January 31, 2020, of the total consideration of $151.5 million, $14.0 million represents the carrying amount of the shares repurchased and $137.5 million represents the amount charged to retained losses.

During the year January 31, 2019, the Company recognized a gain of $0.8 million in financing income related to an automatic share purchase plan. The gain represents the difference between the share price used to establish the financial liability at the end of each quarter and the amount actually paid to repurchase shares during the regulatory restrictions or self-imposed blackout periods.

For the year ended January 31, 2019, of the total consideration of $248.6 million, $26.4 million represents the carrying amount of the shares repurchased, $223.0 million represents the amount charged to retained losses and $0.8 million represents the gain recognized in net income.

b) Substantial issuer bid offer (“SIB”)

On July 23, 2019, the Company repurchased 6,342,494 subordinate voting shares following the completion of its SIB for a total consideration of $300.0 million, of which $29.4 million represents the carrying amount of the shares repurchased and $270.6 million represents the amount charged to retained losses. Prior to the completion of the SIB, Beaudier group and Bain Capital converted respectively 1,836,170 and 1,403,543 of multiple voting shares into an equivalent number of subordinate voting shares.

19. STOCK OPTION PLAN

Following an increase of 5,000,000 during the year ended January 31, 2019, a reserve of 10,814,828 subordinate voting shares are available to be granted in stock options to officers and employees under the Company’s stock option plan. Such stock options are time vesting and 25% of the options will vest on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversary of the grant. The stock options have a ten-year term at the end of which the options expire.

Under the stock option plan existing prior to the initial public offering of the Company’s subordinate voting shares, the options vested or were eligible to vest in equal annual instalments on each of the five anniversary dates of the date of grant and were exercisable for a period of up to ten years from the grant date.

The following table summarizes the weighted-average fair value of options granted and the main assumptions that were used to calculate the fair value during the years ended January 31, 2020 and 2019:

	January 31, 2020		January 31, 2019
Weighted-average fair value at grant date		$13.56		$18.02
Weighted average assumptions used in the fair value models
Share price		$47.69		$60.48
Risk-free interest rate		1.51%		2.20%
Expected life		6.25 years		6.25 years
Expected volatility		28.51%		27.64%
Expected annual dividend per share		0.84%		0.60%

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of options granted. The expected volatility used in option pricing models is calculated based on historical volatility of similar listed entities.

The number of stock options varied as follows:

	Number of options			Weighted average exercise price
Balance as at February 1, 2018		3,399,734			$28.52
Granted		937,150			60.16

Balance as at January 31, 2019		3,883,019			35.51
Granted		1,235,600			46.90
Forfeited/Cancelled		(95,728	)		43.48
Repurchased for cancellation [b]		(773,500	)		24.96
Exercised [c]		(459,287	)		26.03
Balance as at January 31, 2020		3,790,104			$42.32

^[a]  The weighted average stock price on these exercised stock options was $61.04.

^[b]  Concurrent with the secondary offering (Note 18), the Company repurchased for cancellation 773,500 stock options of two executive officers for a purchase consideration of $28.0 million.

The $3.2 million ($5.4 million as at January 31, 2019) is available to reduce future income taxes in the United States.

As at January 31, 2020 and 2019, deferred income taxes assets have been entirely recognized except for certain elements, consisting mainly of deductible capital losses carried forward, as the Canadian and Quebec taxation laws required those losses to be offset with available capital gains in order to be deductible.

In addition, deferred income taxes have not been provided for the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries since either income taxes would not be applicable upon distribution of earnings or the Company determined that such earnings will be indefinitely reinvested. However, distribution in the form of dividends or otherwise from countries where earnings are indefinitely reinvested may be subject to income taxes.

29. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

a) Fair value

The fair value is 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. The fair values of the Company’s financial instruments take into account the credit risk embedded in the instrument. For financial assets, the credit risk of the counterparty is considered whereas for financial liabilities, the Company’s credit risk is considered.

In order to determine the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company uses, when active markets exist, quoted prices from these markets (“Level 1” fair value). When public quotations are not available in the market, fair values are determined using valuation techniques. When inputs used in the valuation techniques are only inputs directly and indirectly observable in the marketplace, fair value is presented as “Level 2” fair value. If fair value is assessed using inputs that require considerable judgment from the Company in interpreting market data and developing estimates, fair value is presented as “Level 3” fair value. For Level 3 fair value, the use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair values.

29. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS [CONTINUED]

a) Fair value [continued]

During the years ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, no changes in fair value level classifications occurred.

b) Foreign exchange risk

The foreign exchange risk associated with financial instruments is defined by the risk that the future cash flows of a recorded financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Foreign exchange risk associated with financial instruments arises from financial instruments denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Company.

The Company’s significant foreign exchange risk exposure associated with financial instruments are with Credit Facilities, trade and other receivables, trade payables and accruals, lease liabilities and derivative financial instruments.

The table below presents the impact on consolidated net income and consolidated other comprehensive income of a variation of foreign exchange rates on financial instruments subject to foreign exchange risks as at January 31, 2020 and 2019:

	As at January 31, 2020							As at January 31, 2019
Increase (Decrease)	Percentage of Variation [a]	Impact on Net income			Impact on Other comprehensive income			Percentage of Variation [a]	Impact on Net income			Impact on Other comprehensive income
USD / CAD	5%		$ (82.6)	[b]		$—		5%		$ (49.5)	[b]		$—
Euro / CAD	5%		$(6.4)			$—		5%		$3.0			$—
Other	3%		$5.8			$(6.3	)	3%		$3.8			$1.0

^[a] Based on variations that might exist at the closing dates.

^[b] Mainly from the long-term debt denominated in U.S. dollars.

The Company uses foreign exchange contracts to manage its foreign currency risks mainly on trade payables and certain other financial liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars and the Company uses short-term foreign exchange contracts to manage its daily cash position.

For currencies over which the Company cannot achieve an offset through its recurring business transactions, mainly the Australian dollar, the Swedish krona, the Norwegian krone and the British pound, the Company uses foreign exchange contracts according to the Company’s hedging policy. Under this policy, the Company hedges up to 50% of the budgeted revenue exposure in these currencies during the annual budget period and continually increases the coverage up to 80% six months before the expected exposures arise. Management periodically reviews the relevant hedging position and may hedge at any level within the authorized parameters of the policy, up to the maximum percentage allowed.

As at January 31, 2020, the maximum length of time over which the Company is hedging its exposure to variability in future cash flow from anticipated sales is 12 months. All foreign exchange contracts used to hedge highly probable anticipated sales are recorded under the cash flow hedge model. The Company does not trade in derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is defined as the Company’s exposure to the risk of not being able to meet its financial obligations. The Company manages its liquidity risk by continuously monitoring its operating cash requirements and by the use of its funding sources to ensure its financial flexibility and mitigate its liquidity risk (see Note 30).

The following table summarizes the financial liabilities instalments payable when contractually due as at January 31, 2020:

	Less than 1 year		1-3 years		4-5 years		More than 5 years		Total amount

29. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS [CONTINUED]

d) Interest risk

The Company is exposed to the variation of interest rates on financial instruments mainly on its Credit Facilities. As at January 31, 2020, an increase or decrease of a 0.25 percentage base point would have resulted in a $4.3 million impact on consolidated net income and consolidated comprehensive income for the year ended January 31, 2020. As at January 31, 2019, an increase or decrease of a 0.25 percentage base point would have resulted in a $3.1 million impact on consolidated net income and consolidated comprehensive income for the year ended January 31, 2019. Percentages of variations of interest rates above are based on changes that might exist at the consolidated statement of financial position dates and have been applied on the Company’s financial instruments subject to interest rate changes.

e) Credit risk

The Company could be exposed, in the normal course of business, to the potential inability of dealers, distributors and other business partners to meet their contractual obligations on financial assets and on amounts guaranteed under dealer and distributor financing agreements.

The Company considers that its credit risk associated with its trade receivables and its limited responsibilities under dealer and distributor financing agreements does not represent a significant concentration of risk and loss due to the large number of dealers, distributors and other business partners and their dispersion across many geographic areas. Moreover, the Company mitigates such risk by doing business through its own distribution channels and by monitoring independent dealers’ and distributor credit.

The following table provides further details on receivables for which the Company considers to be exposed to credit risk as at January 31, 2020 and 2019:

	January 31, 2020			January 31, 2019
Trade and other receivables		$399.1			$388.3
Sales tax and other government receivables		(65.6	)		(54.3	)
Total exposed to credit risk		$333.5			$334.0
Not past due		$319.8			$324.6
Past due
Under 60 days		10.3			8.8
From 60 to 90 days		2.2			0.7
Over 90 days		4.7			3.6
Allowance for doubtful accounts		(3.5	)		(3.7	)
Total exposed to credit risk		$333.5			$334.0

The counterparties to the derivative financial instruments and restricted investments are all investment grade financial institutions, which the Company anticipates will satisfy their obligations under these contracts. Over the past years, the Company has not incurred significant losses related to credit risk on its financial assets.

As described in Note 31 a), the Company has provided financial guarantees to third party financing companies in case of dealers’ inability to meet their obligations under their financing agreements with the financing companies.

30. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company’s primary uses of capital are for capital investments and working capital. Based on the current level of operations, management believes that cash on hand, cash flows from operations and available borrowings under the Credit Facilities will enable the Company to meet its working capital, capital expenditure, debt service and other funding requirements.

The Company’s capital is composed of long-term debt and shareholders’ equity. The Company’s aim is to maintain a level of capital that is adequate to meet several objectives, including an acceptable Leverage ratio in order to provide access to adequate funding sources to support current operations, pursue its internal growth strategy and maintain capital flexibility. The Company may repurchase subordinate voting shares for cancellation pursuant to a NCIB or SIB, issue capital stock, or vary the amount of dividends paid to shareholders.

The Company’s objective is to maintain a Leverage ratio of 3.5 or less, which was continuously achieved during the years ended January 31, 2020 and 2019.

31. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In addition to the commitments and contingencies described elsewhere in these consolidated financial statements, the Company is subject to the following (all amounts presented are undiscounted):

a) Dealer and distributor financing arrangements

The Company, most of its independent dealers and some of its independent distributors are parties to agreements with third-party financing service providers. These agreements provide financing to facilitate the purchase of the Company’s products and improve the Company’s working capital by allowing an earlier collection of accounts receivable from dealers and distributors.

The outstanding financing between the Company’s independent dealers and distributors and third-party finance companies amounted to $2,281.7 million and $1,998.1 million as at January 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The breakdown of outstanding amounts by country and local currency between the Company’s independent dealers and distributors with third-party finance companies were as follows:

	Currency		January 31, 2020		January 31, 2019
Total outstanding as at		CAD		$2,281.7		$1,998.1
United States		USD		$1,264.0		$1,107.2
Canada		CAD		$458.3		$422.3
Europe		Euro		€46.7		€39.8

31. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES [CONTINUED]

a) Dealer and distributor financing arrangements [continued]

Under the dealer and distributor financing agreements, in the event of default, the Company may be required to purchase, from the finance companies, new and unused products at the total unpaid principal balance of the dealer or distributor to the finance companies. In North America, the obligation is generally limited to the greater of U.S. $25.0 million ($33.1 million) or 10% of the last twelve-month average amount of financing outstanding under the financing agreements, whereas in Europe, the obligation is generally limited to the greater of U.S. $10.0 million ($13.2 million) or 10% of the last twelve-month average amount of financing outstanding under the financing agreements. In Australia and New Zealand, the obligation to repossess new and unused products is limited to the greater of AU $5.0 million ($4.4 million) or 10% of the last twelve-month average amount of financing outstanding under the financing agreements. For boat products, in North America, the repurchase obligation decreases according to the age of the inventory and there is no obligation to repurchase for boat products older than 900 days while, in Australia, the obligation to purchase repossessed new and unused boat products is limited to AU $2.5 million ($2.2 million).

The maximum amount subject to the Company’s obligation to purchase new and unused products from the finance companies was $238.0 million as at January 31, 2020 ($217.3 million in North America, $13.2 million in Europe and $7.5 million in Australia and New Zealand).

For the year ended January 31, 2020, the Company has recorded a loss related to repossessed units amounting to $0.4 million (loss of $1.2 million for the year ended January 31, 2019).

b) Guarantees under various agreements

In the normal course of business, the Company has entered into agreements that include indemnities in favour of third parties and which are customary in the industry, such as purchase and sale agreements, confidentiality agreements, engagement letters with advisors and consultants, outsourcing agreements, leasing contracts, underwriting and agency agreements, information technology agreements, and service agreements. These indemnification agreements may require the Company to compensate counterparties for losses they incurred as a result of breaches in representation and regulations or as a result of litigation claims or statutory sanctions that may be suffered as a consequence of the transaction.

The nature of these indemnification agreements prevents the Company from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum exposure due to the difficulties in assessing the amount of liability that stems from the unpredictability of future events and the unlimited coverage offered to counterparties. Historically, the Company has not made any significant payments under such or similar indemnification agreements.

The Company shall indemnify directors and officers of the Company for various losses including, but not limited to, all costs to settle suits or actions due to association with the Company, subject to certain restrictions. The Company has purchased directors’ and officers’ liability insurance to mitigate the cost of any potential future suits or actions. The term of the indemnification is not explicitly defined, but is limited to acts taking place during the period over which the indemnified party served as a trustee, director or officer of the Company. The maximum amount of any potential future payment cannot be reasonably estimated.

31. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES [CONTINUED]

c) Litigation

The Company intends to vigorously defend its position in litigation matters to which it is a party. Management believes the Company has recorded adequate provisions to cover potential losses in relation to pending legal actions. Additionally, the Company has a general liability insurance coverage for claims relating to injuries or damages incurred with the Company’s products. This insurance coverage limits the potential losses associated with legal claims related to product usage.

While the final outcome with respect to actions pending as at January 31, 2020 cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the management’s opinion that their resolution will not have material effects on the Company’s future results of operations or cash flows.

32. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On February 4, 2020, the Company amended its Term Facility to consolidate it into a single tranche which reduces the cost of borrowing by 0.50% for the previous U.S. $335.0 million tranche and extends the maturity from May 2025 to May 2027.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus (specifically identified as “COVID-19”) a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in significant economic uncertainty. These measures adopted by various governments worldwide could impact the Company’s business whether through supply chain or retail demand. However, at this time, it is not possible for the Company to reliably estimate the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its impact on the Company’s financial results in future periods.
