SPROTT INC.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018

 

1 CORPORATE INFORMATION

 

Sprott Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on February 13, 2008. Its registered office is at Royal Bank Plaza, South Tower, 200 Bay Street, Suite 2600, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2J1.

 

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Statement of compliance

 

The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS standards in effect as at June 30, 2019, specifically, IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

 

Compliance with IFRS requires the Company to exercise judgment and make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may vary. Except as otherwise noted, significant accounting judgments and estimates are described in Note 2 of the December 31, 2018 annual audited financial statements and have been applied consistently to the interim financial statements as at and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

 

Basis of presentation

 

These interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and on a historical cost basis, except for financial assets and financial liabilities classified as fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL") or fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"), both of which have been measured at fair value. The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand ($000), except when indicated otherwise.

 

Principles of consolidation

 

These interim financial statements of the Company are prepared on a consolidated basis so as to include the accounts of all limited partnerships and corporations the Company is deemed to control under IFRS. Controlled limited partnerships and corporations ("subsidiaries") are consolidated from the date the Company obtains control. All intercompany balances with subsidiaries are eliminated upon consolidation. Subsidiary financial statements are prepared over the same reporting period as the Company and are based on accounting policies consistent with that of the Company.

 

Control exists if the Company has power over the entity, exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and the ability to use its power over the entity to affect the amount of returns the Company receives. In many, but not all instances, control will exist when the Company owns more than one half of the voting rights of a corporation, or is the sole limited and general partner of a limited partnership.

 

The Company currently controls the following principal subsidiaries:

 

·Sprott Asset Management LP ("SAM");

 

·Sprott Capital Partners LP ("SCP");

 

·Sprott Consulting LP ("SC");

 

·Sprott Asia LP ("Sprott Asia") and Sprott Korea Corporation ("Sprott Korea");

 

·Sprott U.S. Holdings Inc. ("SUSHI"), parent of: (1) Rule Investments Inc. ("RII") (2) Sprott Global Resource Investments Ltd. ("SGRIL"); (3) Sprott Asset Management USA Inc. ("SAM US"); and (4) Resource Capital Investment Corporation ("RCIC");

 

·Sprott Resource Lending Corp. ("SRLC");

 

·Sprott Inc. 2011 Employee Profit Sharing Plan Trust (the "Trust")

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018

 

Changes in accounting policies

 

In the first quarter of the year, the Company adopted IFRS 16 Leases (“IFRS 16”) and IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments ("IFRIC 23"). The adoption of IFRIC 23 did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. As permitted by the transition provisions of IFRS 16, the Company applied a modified retrospective approach. Accordingly, the Company elected not to restate comparative period results and there was no impact to opening retained earnings. Below is a summary of the IFRS 16 impacts.

 

Lease Commitments

 

The Company recognizes a right-to-use asset and a lease liability as at the lease commencement date. The right-to-use asset is initially measured at cost and subsequently at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of future lease payments over the anticipated lease term, discounted using the Company's incremental borrowing rate. Upon transition to IFRS 16, a right-to-use asset and lease liability of $9.8 million were recorded. The right-to-use asset is presented on the property and equipment line of the consolidated balance sheet and the short and long-term portions of the lease liability are presented on the accounts payable and accrued liabilities line and other accrued liabilities line, respectively, of the consolidated balance sheet.

 

The Company used the practical expedient when applying IFRS 16 for short-term leases under 12 months and low-value assets such as IT equipment, with lease payments being expensed as they are occurred.

 

Prior to the adoption of IFRS 16, the Company classified its lease obligation as operating leases, with the lease payments being presented as selling, general and administrative line of the consolidated statements of operations. Upon transition to IFRS 16, the right-to-use asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease with the amortization expense being presented on the amortization of property and equipment line of the consolidated statements of operations. The lease liability is subsequently remeasured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, with the interest charge on the incremental borrowing rate being presented on the interest expense line of the consolidated statements of operations.

 

 

Other accounting policies

 

All other accounting policies, judgments, and estimates described in the annual audited financial statements have been applied consistently to these consolidated financial statements unless otherwise noted.

SPROTT INC.
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018

 

Impairment assessment of goodwill

 

Previously, the Company reported seven cash generating units ("CGU") for goodwill impairment assessment and testing purposes:

 

·       Exchange Listed Products

 

·       Alternative Asset Management

 

·       Global

 

·       Lending

 

·       Consulting

 

·       Merchant Banking & Advisory

 

·       Corporate

 

During the first quarter of 2019, as the Company completed the reorganization of its reportable segments, the assets that were previously aggregated to create the Global CGU no longer met the requirements of a CGU as they no longer generated independent cash flows. As a result, these assets were disaggregated from the Global CGU, and were reallocated to existing CGUs with similar assets that generate largely independent cash flows (brokerage assets within the Brokerage CGU and fixed term LP assets within the Managed Equities CGU). The Company CGUs are now as follows:

 

·       Exchange Listed Products

 

·       Lending

 

·       Managed Equities

 

·       Brokerage

 

·       Corporate

 

As at June 30, 2019, the Company had allocated $25.1 million (December 31, 2018 - $26.1 million) of goodwill on a relative value approach basis to the Exchange Listed Products and Managed Equities CGUs (previously called the Alternative Asset Management CGU).

 

In the normal course, goodwill is tested for impairment once per annum, which for the Company is during the fourth quarter of each year or earlier if there are indicators of impairement. During the quarter, there were no indicators of impairment in either the Exchange Listed Products CGU or the Managed Equities CGU.

 

Impairment assessment of indefinite life fund management contracts

 

As at June 30, 2019, the Company had an exchange listed fund management contract within the Exchange Listed Products CGU of $135.1 million related to Central Fund of Canada (December 31, 2018 - $133.3 million). There were no indicators of impairment as at June 30, 2019.

 

Impairment assessment of finite life fund management contracts

 

As at June 30, 2019, the Company had exchange listed fund management contracts within the Exchange Listed Products CGU of $14.4 million (December 31, 2018 - $15.0 million). There were no indicators of impairment as at June 30, 2019.

Expected credit losses ("ECL")

 

When a loan is classified as impaired, the original expected timing and amount of future cash flows may be revised to reflect new circumstances. These revised cash flows are discounted using the original effective interest rate to determine the net realizable value of the loan. Interest income is thereafter recognized on this net realizable value using the original effective interest rate. Additional changes to the amount or timing of future cash flows could result in further losses, or the reversal of previous losses, which would also impact the amount of subsequent interest income recognized.

 

As at June 30, 2019, the Company performed a comprehensive review of each loan measured at amortized cost in its portfolio to determine the requirement for an ECL provision. There was no increase in credit risk in the period and therefore, no further credit loss provision was required.

 

Interest income on impaired loans and the changes in expected credit loss provisions are as follows (in thousands $):

Stock option plan

 

The Company has an option plan (the "Plan") intended to provide incentives to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The aggregate number of shares issuable upon the exercise of all options granted under the Plan and under all other stock-based compensation arrangements including the Trust and Equity Incentive Plan ("EIP") cannot exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company as at the date of grant. The options may be granted at a price that is not less than the market price of the Company's common shares at the time of grant. The options vest annually over a three-year period and may be exercised during a period not to exceed 10 years from the date of grant.

 

There were no stock options issued for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 (three months ended June 30, 2018 - nil, six months ended June 30, 2018 - 750,000). There were no options exercised for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 (three and six months ended June 30, 2018 - 670,000). There were no options forfeited for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 (three and six months ended June 30, 2018 - nil).

 

For valuing share option grants, the fair value method of accounting is used. The fair value of option grants is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which takes into account the exercise price of the option, the current share price, the risk-free interest rate, the expected volatility of the share price over the life of the option and other relevant factors. Compensation cost is recognized over the vesting period, assuming an estimated forfeiture rate, with an offset to contributed surplus. When exercised, amounts originally recorded against contributed surplus as well as any consideration paid by the option holder is credited to capital stock.

 

A summary of the changes in the Plan is as follows:

 

   Number of
options
(in thousands)
   Weighted average exercise price

Options outstanding, December 31, 2017   6,975    5.14

Capital management

 

The Company's objectives when managing capital are:

 

to meet regulatory requirements and other contractual obligations;

 

to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders;

 

to provide financial flexibility to fund possible acquisitions;

 

to provide adequate seed capital for the Company's new product offerings; and

 

to provide an adequate return to shareholders through growth in assets under management, growth in management fees, carried interest and performance fees and return on the Company's invested capital that will result in dividend payments to shareholders.

 

The Company's capital is comprised of equity, including capital stock, contributed surplus, retained earnings (deficit) and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). SCP is a member of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada ("IIROC"), SAM is a registrant of the Ontario Securities Commission ("OSC") and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), SAM US is registered with the SEC and SGRIL is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). As a result, all of these entities are required to maintain a minimum level of regulatory capital. To ensure compliance, management monitors regulatory and working capital on a regular basis. As at June 30, 2019 and 2018, all entities were in compliance with their respective capital requirements.

The Company has $12 million of capital tax losses and $2 million of non-capital tax losses from prior years that will begin to expire in 2019 and 2027, respectively. The benefit of these capital and non-capital tax losses has not been recognized.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets are recognized for tax loss carry-forwards to the extent that the realization of the related tax benefit through future taxable profits is probable. The ability to realize the tax benefits of these losses is dependent upon a number of factors, including the future profitability of operations in the jurisdictions in which the tax losses arose.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018

 

The following table presents the valuation techniques used by the Company in measuring fair values:

 

Type Valuation Technique
Public equities and share purchase warrants Fair values are determined using pricing models which incorporate all available market-observable inputs.
Co-investments in funds Fair values are based on the last available Net Asset Value.
Fixed income securities Fair values are based on independent market data providers or third-party broker quotes.

 

The Company’s Level 3 securities consists of private holdings, co-investment in funds and fixed income securities of private companies. The Company determines fair value using a variety of valuation techniques, including discounted cash flows, comparable recent transactions and other techniques used by market participants. The significant unobservable input used in these valuation techniques can vary considerably over time, and include grey market financing prices, discount rates and extraction recovery rates of mining projects. A significant change in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a material impact in fair value measurement. The potential impact of a 5% change in the significant unobservable inputs on profit or loss would be approximately $1.2 million (December 31, 2018 - $1.2 million).

 

Financial instruments not carried at fair value

 

For fees receivable, other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and compensation payable, the carrying amount represents a reasonable approximation of fair value due to their short term maturity.

11        SEGMENTED INFORMATION

 

For management purposes, the Company is organized into business units based on its products, services and geographical location and has five reportable segments as follows:

 

Exchange Listed Products (reportable), which provides management services to the Company's closed-end physical trusts and exchange traded funds ("ETFs"), both of which are actively traded on public securities exchanges;

 

Lending (reportable), which provides lending activities through limited partnership vehicles as well as through direct lending activities using the Company's balance sheet;

 

Managed Equities (reportable), which provides asset management and sub-advisory services to the Company's branded funds, fixed-term LPs and managed accounts;

 

Brokerage (reportable), which includes the activities of our Canadian and U.S broker-dealers;

 

Corporate (reportable), which provides capital, balance sheet management and enterprise shared services to the Company's subsidiaries;

 

All Other Segments (non-reportable), which do not meet the definition of reportable segments as per IFRS 8.

 

Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on earnings before interest expense, income taxes, amortization and impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, gains and losses on proprietary investments (as if such gains and losses had not occurred), foreign exchange gains and losses, one time non-recurring expenses, non-cash and non-recurring stock-based compensation, carried interest and performance fees and carried interest and performance fee payouts (adjusted base EBITDA).

 

Adjusted base EBITDA is not a measurement in accordance with IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other measure of performance under IFRS.

 

Transfer pricing between operating segments is performed on an arm's length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties.
