Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
1. Reporting Entity and Description of the Business
Suncor Energy Inc. (Suncor or the company) is an integrated energy company headquartered in Calgary, Alberta. The company is focused on developing one of the world’s largest petroleum resource basins – Canada’s Athabasca oil sands. In addition, the company explores for, acquires, develops, produces and markets crude oil in Canada and internationally; transports and refines crude oil; and markets petroleum and petrochemical products primarily in Canada. The company also operates a renewable energy business and conducts energy trading activities focused principally on the marketing and trading of crude oil, natural gas, byproducts, refined products and power.
The address of the company’s registered office is 150 – 6th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2P 3E3.
2. Basis of Preparation
(a) Statement of Compliance
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, specifically International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. They are condensed as they do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements, and they should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the company for the year ended December 31, 2020. Beginning in the first quarter of 2021, the company has revised the presentation of its expenses from “transportation” to “transportation and distribution” and reclassified certain operating, selling and general expenses to transportation and distribution to better reflect the nature of these expenses. There is no impact on net earnings (loss) and comparative periods have been restated to reflect this change.
(b) Basis of Measurement
The consolidated financial statements are prepared on a historical cost basis except as detailed in the accounting policies disclosed in the company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.
(c) Functional Currency and Presentation Currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the company’s functional currency.
(d) Use of Estimates, Assumptions and Judgments
The timely preparation of financial statements requires that management make estimates and assumptions and use judgment. Accordingly, actual results may differ from estimated amounts as future confirming events occur. Significant estimates and judgment used in the preparation of the financial statements are described in the company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern and, on March 10, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic. Actions taken around the world to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 include restrictions on travel, quarantines in certain areas, and forced closures for certain types of public places and businesses. These measures have and may continue to have significant disruption to business operations and a significant increase in economic uncertainty, with reduced demand for commodities leading to volatile prices and currency exchange rates, and a decline in long-term interest rates. Our operations and business are particularly sensitive to a reduction in the demand for, and prices of, commodities that are closely linked to Suncor’s financial performance, including crude oil, refined petroleum products (such as jet fuel and gasoline), natural gas and electricity. The potential direct and indirect impacts of the economic downturn have been considered in management’s estimates, and assumptions at period end have been reflected in our results with any significant changes described in the relevant notes to the company’s unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021.
The COVID-19 pandemic is an evolving situation that will continue to have widespread implications for our business environment, operations and financial condition. Management cannot reasonably estimate the length or severity of this pandemic, or the extent to which the disruption may materially impact our consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of cash flows in fiscal 2021.
2021 Second Quarter   Suncor Energy Inc.   53

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(e) Income Taxes
The company recognizes the impacts of income tax rate changes in earnings in the period that the applicable rate change is enacted or substantively enacted.
3. Segmented Information
The company’s operating segments are reported based on the nature of their products and services and management responsibility.
Intersegment sales of crude oil and natural gas are accounted for at market values and are included, for segmented reporting, in revenues of the segment making the transfer and expenses of the segment receiving the transfer. Intersegment amounts are eliminated on consolidation.

Pursuant to the 2021 NCIB, the company may repurchase for cancellation up to 44,000,000 common shares between February 8, 2021, and February 7, 2022.

9. Financial Instruments
Derivative Financial Instruments
(a) Non-Designated Derivative Financial Instruments
The company uses derivative financial instruments, such as physical and financial contracts, to manage certain exposures to fluctuations in interest rates, short-term commodity prices and foreign currency exchange rates, as part of its overall risk management program, as well as for trading purposes.
The changes in the fair value of non-designated derivatives are as follows:

Total
Fair value outstanding at December 31, 2020 (121)
Cash settlements – paid during the year
279
Changes in fair value recognized in earnings during the year
(161)
Fair value outstanding at June 30, 2021 (3)
(b) Fair Value Hierarchy
To estimate the fair value of derivatives, the company uses quoted market prices when available, or third-party models and valuation methodologies that utilize observable market data. In addition to market information, the company incorporates transaction-specific details that market participants would utilize in a fair value measurement, including the impact of non-performance risk. However, these fair value estimates may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts that could be realized or settled in a current market transaction. The company characterizes inputs used in determining fair value using a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs depending on the degree to which they are observable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 consists of instruments with a fair value determined by an unadjusted quoted price in an active market for identical assets or liabilities. An active market is characterized by readily and regularly available quoted prices where the prices are representative of actual and regularly occurring market transactions to assure liquidity.

Level 2 consists of instruments with a fair value that is determined by quoted prices in an inactive market, prices with observable inputs or prices with insignificant non-observable inputs. The fair value of these positions is determined using observable inputs from exchanges, pricing services, third-party independent broker quotes and published transportation tolls. The observable inputs may be adjusted using certain methods, which include extrapolation over the quoted price term and quotes for comparable assets and liabilities.
2021 Second Quarter   Suncor Energy Inc.   59

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Level 3 consists of instruments with a fair value that is determined by prices with significant unobservable inputs. As at June 30, 2021, the company does not have any derivative instruments measured at fair value Level 3.
In forming estimates, the company utilizes the most observable inputs available for valuation purposes. If a fair value measurement reflects inputs of different levels within the hierarchy, the measurement is categorized based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following table presents the company’s derivative financial instruments measured at fair value for each hierarchy level as at June 30, 2021:
($ millions)
Level 1
Level 2
Level 3
Total Fair Value
Accounts receivable 77 76 153
Accounts payable (116) (40) (156)
(39) 36 (3)
During the second quarter of 2021, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements.
A substantial portion of the company’s accounts receivable are with customers in the oil and gas industry and are subject to normal industry credit risk. While the industry has experienced credit downgrades due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Suncor has not been significantly affected as the majority of Suncor’s customers are large and established downstream companies with investment grade credit ratings.
Non-Derivative Financial Instruments
At June 30, 2021, the carrying value of fixed-term debt accounted for under amortized cost was $15.3 billion (December 31, 2020 – $15.2 billion) and the fair value was $18.7 billion (December 31, 2020 – $18.8 billion). The estimated fair value of long-term debt is based on pricing sourced from market data.
10. Asset Impairment
Oil Sands
During the first quarter of 2020, the company recorded an impairment of  $1.38 billion (net of taxes of  $0.44 billion) on its share of the Fort Hills assets in the Oil Sands segment.

Exploration and Production
White Rose assets:
During the first quarter of 2020, the company recorded an impairment of  $137 million (net of taxes of  $45 million) on its share of the White Rose assets in the Exploration and Production segment.
In the fourth quarter of 2020, the company reassessed the likelihood of completing the West White Rose Project. As a result of this reassessment, the company performed another impairment test of the White Rose cash-generating unit (CGU). An after-tax impairment charge of  $423 million (net of taxes of  $136 million) was recognized and the White Rose CGU was fully impaired at December 31, 2020.
No indicators of impairment reversal were identified at June 30, 2021.

11. Provisions
Suncor’s decommissioning and restoration provision decreased by $1.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in the credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate to 3.60% (December 31, 2020 – 3.10%).
60   2021 Second Quarter   Suncor Energy Inc.

12. Pensions and Other Post-Retirement Benefits
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the actuarial gain on employee retirement benefit plans was $658 million (net of taxes of  $208 million) mainly due to an increase in the discount rate to 3.20% (December 31, 2020 – 2.50%).
13. Subsequent Event
Subsequent to June 30, 2021, the agreement for the sale of Suncor’s 26.69% working interest in the Golden Eagle Area Development was approved by the purchaser’s shareholders with financing conditions met. The effective date of the sale is January 1, 2021 for gross proceeds of US$325 million and contingent consideration up to US$50 million before closing adjustments and other closing costs and is expected to close in the third quarter of 2021.
