GFL Environmental Inc. - Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(In millions of dollars except per share amounts or otherwise stated)

 

1. REPORTING ENTITY

 

GFL Environmental Inc. (“GFL” or the “Company”) was formed on March 5, 2020 under the laws of the Province of Ontario. GFL’s subordinate voting shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange and the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “GFL”.

 

GFL is in the business of providing non-hazardous solid waste management and environmental services. These services are provided through GFL and its subsidiaries and a network of facilities across Canada and the United States. GFL’s registered office is Suite 500, 100 New Park Place, Vaughan, ON, L4K 0H9.

 

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements (the “Interim Financial Statements”) include the accounts of GFL and its subsidiaries as at March 31, 2023.

 

The Board of Directors approved the Interim Financial Statements on April 27, 2023.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES    

 

Statement of compliance

 

The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting, within the framework of International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

 

The Interim Financial Statements do not include all disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with GFL’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Annual Financial Statements”).

 

Basis of measurement

 

The Interim Financial Statements were prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period as detailed in the Annual Financial Statements.

 

Presentation and functional currency

 

The Interim Financial Statements are presented in Canadian dollars which is GFL’s functional currency.

 

Use of estimates and judgments

 

The preparation of the Interim Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and use judgment that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities and accompanying disclosures. Accordingly, actual results may differ from estimated amounts as future confirming events occur. Significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of the Interim Financial Statements are described in the Annual Financial Statements.

 

Accounting policies

 

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Annual Financial Statements.

 

F-6

 

 

GFL Environmental Inc. - Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(In millions of dollars except per share amounts or otherwise stated)

 

New and amended standards adopted

 

A number of amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period. GFL was not required to change its accounting policies or make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting the applicable amended standards.

 

New accounting standards issued but not yet effective

 

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the current period and have not been early adopted. Of those standards applicable to GFL, they are not expected to have a material impact on these Interim Financial Statements.

 

3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS  

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, GFL acquired 12 businesses, of which 10 were solid waste management businesses, and each of which GFL considers to be individually immaterial.

 

The following table presents the purchase price allocation based on the best information available to GFL to date:

 

  

Three months ended

March 31, 2023

 
Net working capital, including cash acquired of $3.8 million  $2.0 
Property and equipment   57.7 
Intangible assets   110.1 
Goodwill   60.5 
Lease obligations   (3.4)
Other long-term liabilities   (0.4)
Deferred income tax liabilities   (5.4)
Net assets acquired  $221.1 
      
Cash paid  $221.1 
Total consideration  $221.1 

 

In addition to the cash consideration noted above, during the three months ended March 31, 2023, GFL paid $2.5 million in additional consideration related to acquisitions from prior years.

 

GFL finalizes purchase price allocations relating to acquisitions within 12 months of the respective acquisition date and, as a result, there may be differences between the provisional estimates reflected above and the final acquisition accounting. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, GFL finalized the purchase price allocations for certain acquisitions resulting in an increase in property and equipment of $11.9 million, an increase in intangible assets of $18.3 million, an increase in deferred income tax liabilities of $4.1 million, and a decrease in goodwill of $26.1 million.

 

Approximately $22.8 million of the goodwill acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2023 ($11.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022) is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

 

Since the respective acquisition dates, revenue and net income before tax of approximately $23.5 million and $5.5 million, respectively, attributable to the 2023 acquisitions, are included in these Interim Financial Statements.

Pro forma results of operations

 

If the 2023 acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2023, the unaudited consolidated pro forma revenue and net loss before taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2023 would have been $1,811.2 million and $257.6 million, respectively. The pro forma results do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations which would have resulted had the acquisitions occurred at the beginning of the year, nor are they necessarily indicative of future operating results.

Revolving credit facility and term loan facility

 

Under the amended and restated revolving credit agreement dated as of January 11, 2023 (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”), GFL has access to (a) a $1,205.0 million revolving credit facility (available in Canadian and US dollars) and an aggregate US$75.0 million in revolving credit facilities (available in US dollars) (collectively, the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and (b) a term loan of $775.0 million (the “Term Loan A Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan A Facility mature on September 27, 2026. The Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan A Facility accrue interest at a rate of SOFR/Bankers Acceptance plus 1.500% to 2.250% or Canadian/US prime plus 0.500% to 1.250%. The Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan A Facility are secured by mortgages on certain properties, a general security agreement over all of the assets of GFL and certain material subsidiaries and a pledge of the shares of such subsidiaries.

 

The Revolving Credit Agreement contains a Total Net Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA and an Interest Coverage Ratio (each as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) financial maintenance covenant.

 

The Total Net Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio to be maintained is equal to or less than 6.00 to 1.00 for a period of four complete fiscal quarters following completion of a Material Acquisition and at all other times, equal to or less than 5.75 to 1.00. The Interest Coverage Ratio must be equal to or greater than 3.00 to 1.00. As at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, GFL was in compliance with these covenants.

 

On January 31, 2023, GFL amended its term loan B facility to extend the maturity date by two years to May 31, 2027 and transition the remainder of the loan from a LIBOR-based interest benchmark to a SOFR-based interest benchmark at a rate of SOFR (with a floor rate at 0.500%) plus 3.000% or US prime plus 2.000% (the “Term Loan B Facility”). The Term Loan B Facility is secured by mortgages on certain properties, a general security agreement over all the assets of GFL and certain material subsidiaries and a pledge of the shares of such subsidiaries.

 

Other

 

On March 20, 2023, a 51.0% owned subsidiary amended its credit agreement to include a term loan of US$13.0 million maturing September 21, 2025. The net proceeds from this term loan were used to fund acquisitions.

9. TANGIBLE EQUITY UNITS  

 

On March 5, 2020, GFL completed its offering of 15,500,000 6.00% tangible equity units (“TEUs”) for total gross proceeds of $1,040.7 million (US$775.0 million). Each TEU had a stated amount of US$50.00 and was comprised of a prepaid stock purchase contract (“Purchase Contract(s)”) and a senior amortizing note (“Amortizing Note(s)”) due March 15, 2023, both of which were freestanding instruments and separate units of account. Holders of the Purchase Contracts had the ability to elect to early convert such Purchase Contracts prior to the automatic conversion date of March 15, 2023, at the then-applicable minimum conversion rate.

 

On March 15, 2023, GFL made the final payment related to the Amortizing Notes and the remaining outstanding Purchase Contracts were automatically converted into subordinate voting shares at a rate of 2.1940 subordinate voting shares per Purchase Contract. As at December 31, 2022, 11,698,543 Purchase Contracts were outstanding.

 

The following table presents the respective components of the TEUs as at the dates indicated:

Diluted loss per share excludes the effects of time-based share options, RSUs (defined below), Preferred Shares (defined below), and any amount of subordinate voting shares arising from the conversion of TEUs in excess of the minimum conversion, as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Fair value measurement

 

The carrying value of GFL’s financial assets approximate their fair values. The carrying value of GFL’s financial liabilities approximate their fair values with the exception of GFL’s outstanding U.S. dollar secured and unsecured notes (the “Notes”) and prior to maturity on March 15, 2023, the Amortizing Notes. The fair value hierarchy for these instruments are as follows for the periods indicated:

 

   March 31, 2023 
   Carrying Value   Fair Value   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
Notes  $6,152.5   $5,765.5   $   $5,765.5   $ 

 

   December 31, 2022 
   Carrying Value   Fair Value   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
Notes  $6,157.0   $5,568.6   $   $5,568.6   $ 
Amortizing Notes   15.5    15.5    15.5         

 

GFL uses a discounted cash flow model incorporating observable market data, such as foreign currency forward rates, to estimate the fair value of its Notes. Certain leases, other loans, and amounts due to related parties do not bear interest or bear interest at an amount that is not stated at fair value.

 

Net derivative instruments are recorded at fair value and classified within Level 2. Prior to the automatic conversion on March 15, 2023, Purchase Contracts were recorded at fair value and classified within Level 1.

 

Financial risk management objectives

 

On March 29, 2023, GFL terminated the cross currency swap relating to the Term Loan B Facility. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, there were no other changes to the financial risk management policies disclosed in the Annual Financial Statements.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, GFL entered into transactions with Green Infrastructure Partners Inc. (“GIP”) which resulted in revenue of $5.3 million ($nil for the three months ended March 31, 2022) and net receivables of $6.5 million as at March 31, 2023 (net payables of $3.8 million as at December 31, 2022).

 

18. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, GFL met the criteria under IFRS 5 for three distinct U.S. Solid Waste regions to be classified as held for sale. The trigger was based on certain events that occurred during the period supporting a high probability of the sale of these regions, including entering into definitive agreements for two regions and a letter of intent for the third region. As a result, the related assets and liabilities were classified as held for sale on the statement of financial position.

 

The three distinct U.S. Solid Waste regions, which are included within GFL’s Solid Waste USA segment, did not meet the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations as they do not represent a major line of business or geographical area of operations.
