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 September 30, 2023.

 

The Board of Directors approved the Interim Financial Statements on November 1, 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.

 

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

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 date and, as a result, there may be differences between the provisional estimates reflected above and the final acquisition accounting. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, GFL finalized the purchase price allocations for certain acquisitions resulting in an increase in net working capital of $3.6 million, an increase in property and equipment of $23.0 million, an increase in intangible assets of $21.3 million, an increase in deferred income tax liabilities of $4.1 million and a decrease in goodwill of $43.8 million.

 

Approximately $88.4 million and $122.3 million of the goodwill acquired during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 ($12.5 million and $686.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022) is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

 

Since the respective acquisition dates, revenue and earnings before income taxes of approximately $115.3 million and $16.8 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 earnings before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 would have been $5,808.0 million and $292.5 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 joint ventures and associates

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, GFL made contributions of $8.8 million and $27.3 million ($11.2 million and $43.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022) to joint ventures.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, GFL made contributions of $nil and $19.0 million ($nil and $nil for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022) to associates.

Revolving credit facility and term loan facility

 

Under the amended and restated revolving credit agreement dated as of August 17, 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 September 30, 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”). On September 22, 2023, GFL amended its Term Loan B Facility to reduce its borrowing rate to SOFR plus 2.500% or US prime plus 1.500%. 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.

 

On September 1, 2023, GFL acquired a 51.0% controlling interest in an entity that has a credit facility, under which it has access to (a) a term loan of US$170.0 million and (b) a US$100.0 million revolving credit facility. The term loan and revolving credit facility mature on August 31, 2028 and have a borrowing rate of base or SOFR adjusted rate plus a spread between 2.00% to 3.25%. As at September 30, 2023, the entity had US$170.0 million drawn on the term loan and US$2.5 million drawn on the revolving credit facility.

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:

Notes  $6,148.2   $5,557.4   $   $5,557.4   $ 

 

   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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023 there were no other changes to the financial risk management policies disclosed in the Annual Financial Statements.
