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 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, 2025.

 

The Board of Directors approved the Interim Financial Statements on April 30, 2025.

 

2. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL 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, 2024 (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, except as described below.

 

Discontinued operations

 

A discontinued operation is a component of GFL’s business which comprises operations and cash flows that can be clearly separated from the rest of GFL, and which: represents either a separate major line of business or a geographical area of operations; is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.

 

F-6

 

 

GFL Environmental Inc. - Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

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

 

The classification as discontinued operations occurs at the earlier of disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale. When operations are classified as discontinued operations, the comparative statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) are re-presented as if the operations had been discontinued from the start of the comparative period. The consolidated statements of cash flows include cash flows of the discontinued operations, and are not re-presented to reflect discontinued operations. The comparative consolidated statement of financial position is not re-presented to reflect discontinued operations.

 

Reclassification of prior period presentation

 

On March 3, 2025, GFL announced the completion of the divestiture of its Environmental Services line of business (“GFL Environmental Services”), effective on March 1, 2025, for an enterprise value of $8.0 billion. Funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, Inc. and BC Partners Advisors LP each acquired an approximate 28% equity interest in GFL Environmental Services. GFL retained an approximate 44% non-controlling equity interest in GFL Environmental Services, which has been initially recognized at $1.7 billion. Certain revenue disaggregation and segment reporting balances in prior periods have been re-presented for consistency with the current period presentation in relation to GFL Environmental Services which has been presented as discontinued operations as discussed in Note 17.

 

Certain other operating segment and line of business information reported in prior periods have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These immaterial reclassifications had no effect on the reported consolidated results of operations. Refer to Note 10.

 

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. The standards applicable to GFL are not expected to have a material impact on these Interim Financial Statements.

 

3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND INVESTMENTS

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, GFL acquired 3 businesses, 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, 2025
 
Net working capital, including cash acquired of $0.1 million  $(8.0)
Property and equipment   100.8 
Intangible assets   48.0 
Goodwill   102.9 
Lease obligations   (3.8)
Deferred income tax liabilities   (1.5)
Net assets acquired  $238.4 
      
Cash paid  $238.4 
Total consideration  $238.4 

 

In addition to the cash consideration noted above, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, GFL paid $2.4 million in additional consideration related to acquisitions from prior years.

 

F-7

 

 

GFL Environmental Inc. - Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

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

 

GFL finalizes purchase price allocations relating to acquisitions within 12 months of the respective acquisition dates 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, 2025, GFL finalized the purchase price allocations for certain acquisitions resulting in a decrease in net working capital of $5.2 million, a decrease in property and equipment of $8.2 million, a decrease in intangible assets of $3.1 million and an increase in goodwill of $16.5 million.

 

Approximately $92.5 million of the goodwill acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2025 (all of the goodwill acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2024) is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

 

Since the respective acquisition dates, revenue and income before income taxes of approximately $9.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, attributable to the 2025 acquisitions, are included in these Interim Financial Statements.

 

Pro forma results of operations

 

If the 2025 acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2025, the unaudited consolidated pro forma revenue and loss before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2025 would have been $1,574.4 million and $264.7 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.

 

Investments in Associates

 

As at March 31, 2025, GFL held investments in associates of $1,873.2 million ($217.6 million as at December 31, 2024). GFL considers each associate, except for GFL Environmental Services, to be individually immaterial. GFL has accounted for these investments in associates using the equity method.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, GFL’s share of loss and total comprehensive loss from associates was $50.5 million ($33.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024).

 

As part of GFL’s divestiture of GFL Environmental Services, GFL has the option to repurchase the balance of the equity of GFL Environmental Services within five years of the closing date (the “Call Option”). The Call Option is accounted for as a stand-alone derivative asset which is measured at fair value through profit or loss.

 

As of March 3, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Call Option had a fair value of $200.0 million with the initial measurement included in gain on divestiture and is classified as other long-term assets.

 

Refer to Note 17 for details on discontinued operations.

 

Investments in Joint Ventures

 

GFL has invested in certain renewable natural gas (“RNG”) projects through joint ventures. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, GFL made contributions of $1.2 million ($6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024) to RNG joint ventures. As at March 31, 2025, GFL held investments in RNG joint ventures of $116.2 million ($126.8 million as at December 31, 2024). GFL considers each joint venture to be individually immaterial. GFL has accounted for these investments in joint ventures using the equity method.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, GFL’s share of (loss) income and total comprehensive (loss) income from joint ventures was $(1.2) million ($3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024).

 

GFL has also invested in other sustainability projects with strategic partners to construct anaerobic biodigesters. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, GFL advanced a loan of $nil ($18.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024) to these sustainability projects.

The fair value hierarchy for these instruments are as follows for the periods indicated:

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. The Call Option is measured using an option pricing model which includes inputs such as equity volatility, risk-free rates, and implied credit yields. The Call Option is recorded at fair value and classified within Level 3.
