GFL Environmental Inc. - Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

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

 

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

 

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” and tangible equity units (“TEUs”) trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “GFLU”.

 

GFL is in the business of providing non-hazardous solid waste management and environmental services. These services are provided through GFL and its wholly owned 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.

 

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements (the “Interim Financial Statements”) include the accounts of GFL and its subsidiaries for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

 

The Board of Directors approved the Interim Financial Statements on May 4, 2022.

 

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 audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 (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 and share-based payments 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.

 

F-6

 

 

GFL Environmental Inc. - Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

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

 

Held for sale

 

Assets are classified as assets held for sale when their carrying amount is to be recovered principally through a sale transaction and when the sale is considered highly probable. Depreciation of assets held for sale ceases when assets are classified as held for sale. Assets held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

 

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.

 

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 an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, 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 have not been re-presented to reflect discontinued operations. The comparative consolidated statement of financial position has not been re-presented to reflect discontinued operations.

 

Equity accounting for joint arrangements and associates

 

Associates are all entities over which GFL has significant influence but not control or joint control. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting after initially being recognized at cost.

 

Joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures. The classification depends on contractual rights and obligations of each investor, rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement. Interest in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method, after initially being recognized at cost.

 

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.

 

Reclassification of prior period presentation

 

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’s Infrastructure services division (“GFL Infrastructure”) which has been classified as held for sale and presented as discontinued operations as discussed in Note 18. GFL’s soil remediation division, previously included in its Infrastructure and Soil Remediation segment, has been combined with its Liquid Waste segment and renamed “Environmental Services”.

3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS  

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, GFL completed nine acquisitions, all of which 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, 2022
 
Net working capital, including cash acquired of $5.0 million  $(1.7)
Property and equipment   36.0 
Intangible assets   18.3 
Goodwill   30.1 
Landfill closure and post-closure obligations   (10.2)
Deferred income tax liabilities   (0.4)
Net assets acquired  $72.1 
      
Cash paid   72.1 
Total consideration  $72.1 

 

In addition to the consideration noted above, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, GFL paid $10.2 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, 2022, GFL finalized the purchase price allocations for certain acquisitions resulting in a decrease in property and equipment of $11.7 million, an increase in lease obligations of $1.5 million, an increase in accrued liabilities of $2.3 million, a decrease in closure and post-closure obligations of $5.3 million, a decrease in deferred income tax liabilities of $1.4 million and an increase in goodwill of $8.8 million.

 

Approximately $11.2 million of the goodwill acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2022 ($24.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021) is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

 

Since the respective acquisition dates, revenue and income before tax of approximately $3.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively, attributable to the 2022 acquisitions are included in the Interim Financial Statements.

 

Pro forma results of operations

 

If the 2022 acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2022, the unaudited consolidated pro forma revenue and income before taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2022 would have been $1,404.9 million and $115.7 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.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, total depreciation of property and equipment was $227.0 million ($198.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021). Of the total depreciation for the three months ended March 31, 2022, $219.1 million was included in cost of sales ($191.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021) and $7.9 million was included in selling, general and administrative expenses ($7.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021).

 

Depreciation of property and equipment of $231.7 million as presented in the statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was comprised of $229.3 million of depreciation shown above, which is inclusive of GFL Infrastructure that has been classified as discontinued operations, and $2.4 million of depreciation expense due to the difference between the asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) calculated using the credit-adjusted, risk-free discount rate required for measurement of the ARO through purchase accounting, compared to the risk-free discount rate required for annual valuations.

(1)Comparative figures have been re-presented, refer to Note 2 and Note 18.
(2)Subsequent to the original issuance of the March 31, 2021 unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, GFL determined the mark-to-market loss on Purchase Contracts should not be treated as a temporary difference for deferred income tax purposes. As a result, to correct this immaterial error, income tax recovery decreased by $55.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

 

Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share includes the minimum conversion of TEUs into subordinate voting shares, which as at March 31, 2022 represented 25,659,880 subordinate voting shares (33,662,500 subordinate voting shares as at March 31, 2021). 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.

15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT  

 

GFL’s financial instruments consist of cash, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, long-term debt, including related hedging instruments, and TEUs.

 

Fair value measurement

 

The carrying value of GFL’s financial assets are equal to their fair values. The carrying value of GFL’s financial liabilities approximate their fair values with the exception of GFL’s outstanding USD secured and unsecured notes (the “Notes”) and Amortizing Notes. The fair value hierarchy for these instruments are as follows for the periods indicated:

 

   March 31, 2022 
   Carrying Value   Fair Value   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
Notes  $5,681.2   $5,449.7   $   $5,449.7   $ 
Amortizing Notes   55.9    55.9    55.9         

 

   December 31, 2021 
   Carrying Value   Fair Value   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
Notes  $5,764.0   $5,808.3   $   $5,808.3   $ 
Amortizing Notes   70.4    70.4    70.4         

 

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, equipment loans and other, and amounts due to related parties, do not bear interest or bear interest at an amount that is not stated at fair value.

 

Purchase Contracts and net derivative instruments, which are recorded at fair value, are classified within Level 1 and Level 2, respectively.

 

Risk management

 

GFL is exposed to foreign currency risk relating to its operating and financing activities and partially mitigates such risk using certain cross-currency interest rate swaps. There were no changes in the risk management policies as disclosed in the Annual Financial Statements.

 

16. COMMITMENTS
