Climate-related risks and opportunities may have a future impact on the Corporation and its estimates and judgements, including but not limited to the useful life and residual value of its property, plant and equipment and the measurement of projected cash flows when identifying impairment triggers, performing tests for impairment or impairment recoveries, when available, of non-financial assets. The Corporation evaluated the remaining useful lives and residual values of its property, plant and equipment, concluding they remain reasonable given the current estimate of the demand period for oil and natural gas extractive services well exceeds their remaining useful lives.

In future periods, if indications of impairment of non-financial assets exist, the Corporation’s measurement of projected cash flows may be exposed to higher estimation uncertainty, including but not limited to the Corporation’s continued capital investment required to lower the carbon intensity of its property, plant and equipment, period and growth expectations used to calculate terminal values and the Corporation’s weighted average cost of capital.

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

(a) Statement of Compliance

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on March 1, 2024.

(b) Basis of Measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost basis and are presented in thousands of Canadian dollars.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgements that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingencies. These estimates and judgements are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimation of anticipated future events involves uncertainty and, consequently, the estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements may change as future events unfold, more experience is acquired, or the Corporation’s operating environment changes. The Corporation reviews its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Adjustments that result from a change in estimate are recorded in the period in which they become known. Estimates are more difficult to determine, and the range of potential outcomes can be wider, in periods of higher volatility and uncertainty. The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the recovery therefrom coupled with several factors including higher levels of uncertainty due the Russian invasion of Ukraine and its impact on energy markets, rising interest and inflation rates, and constrained supply chains have created a higher level of volatility and uncertainty. Management has, to the extent reasonable, incorporated known facts and circumstances into the estimates made, however, actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be material. Significant estimates and judgements used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are described in Note 3(a), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i), (o), and (p).

Climate-related risks and opportunities may have a future impact on the Corporation and its estimates and judgements, including but not limited to the useful life and residual value of its property, plant and equipment and the measurement of projected cash flows when identifying impairment triggers, performing tests for impairment or impairment recoveries, when available, of non-financial assets.

The Corporation evaluated the remaining useful lives and residual values of its property, plant and equipment, concluding they remain reasonable given the current estimate of the demand period for oil and natural gas extractive services well exceeds their remaining useful lives. In addition, the Corporation’s property, plant and equipment, including drill rig equipment, adapts to numerous low-carbon projects, including but not limited to, geothermal drilling, carbon capture and storage and the extraction of helium and hydrogen gas.

(d) Environmental Reporting Regulations

Environmental reporting continues to evolve and the Corporation may be subject to additional future disclosure requirements. The International Sustainability Standards Board issued two IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards with the objective to develop a global framework for environmental sustainability disclosure. The Canadian Securities Administrators have also issued a proposed National Instrument 51-107 Disclosure of Climate-related Matters which sets forth additional reporting requirements for Canadian Public Companies. Precision continues to monitor developments on these reporting requirements as it progresses with its determination of the financial implications of complying with these regulations.
