3. Reclassifications

The Company has changed the presentation of certain figures in the comparative period as follows:

  • i) Lost-in-hole proceeds and gain on disposal of equipment - reimbursements collected from customers related to lost-in-hole equipment and the corresponding derecognition of the property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) were: a) reclassified from proceeds on disposal of property, plant and equipment to revenues, b) recognized as a write-off of PP&E at the net book value of the equipment and c) included in the Company’s cash flows - operating activities rather than cash flows - investing activities on the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

The Company has changed its judgement regarding equipment lost-in-hole events that are contracted with its customers in that these events are now considered to be part of its ordinary business activities. The changes are reflected in the current and prior periods, as described above.

  • ii) Cash paid on acquisition - cash paid on acquisition, net of cash acquired has been presented in aggregate rather than allocated to the individual net assets acquired on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

4. Acquisitions

i) Rime Downhole Technologies, LLC

On July 11, 2023, Cathedral, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired Rime, a privately-held, Texas-based, engineering business that specializes in building products for the downhole measurement-while-drilling (“MWD”) industry (the “Rime acquisition”) in exchange for approximately USD $41 million (approximately CAD $54.1 million) comprised of: (a) the payment of USD $21 million in cash (approximately CAD $28 million); and (b) the issuance of principal amount of USD $20 million (approximately CAD $26.4 million) of subordinated exchangeable promissory notes (“EP Notes”) that are exchangeable into a maximum of 24,570,000 common shares in the capital of Cathedral (“EP Shares”) at a deemed price of CAD $1.10 per common share. In accordance with IAS 32 and IFRS 13, the EP notes were determined to be a compound instrument and, accordingly, recognized at the fair value for its respective debt component of $23.4 million and equity component of $1.2 million totaling $24.6 million.

The EP Notes have a three-year term and accrue interest payable quarterly at a rate of 5% per annum. Any time prior to expiry of the EP Notes, if the 20-day volume weighted average trading price of the common shares of Cathedral (“Common Shares”) equals or exceeds CAD $1.10 per Common Share, Cathedral may cause the exchange of the EP Notes for Common Shares. Cathedral and the holders of the EP Notes may agree to an earlier exchange of the EP Notes into Common Shares. In addition to the statutory hold periods applicable to the EP Shares under Canadian and U.S. securities laws, the parties agreed to contractual restrictions on resale of any EP Shares as follows: 33% of the EP Shares are restricted until July 11, 2024; a further 33% of the EP Shares are restricted until July 11, 2025; and a further 34% of the EP Shares are restricted until July 11, 2026, subject to certain exceptions contained in the terms governing the EP Notes.

The fair value of the EP notes of $24.6 million was determined by an independent valuation expert using the Monte Carlo valuation method and the geometric Brownian motion under two scenarios: 1) the issuer will convert the EP notes when the share price reaches $1.10 per Common Share and 2) the EP notes are held until maturity and settled in cash. Key inputs and assumptions, such as a the Company’s credit spread and the volatility of the Common Shares, were applied in the valuation model. The EP notes will be recognized using the amortized cost method subsequent to initial recognition.

The purchase price allocation was recognized at fair value under IFRS 3 Business combinations as follows:

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The goodwill recognized is related to expected synergies with the Company’s existing operations, including the use and development of components for the Company’s downhole MWD product offering. The goodwill is fully deductible over fifteen years for tax purposes.

During the period from July 11, 2023 to September 30, 2023, Rime generated revenues of USD $4 million and net income of USD $1 million. Transactions costs of $0.8 million were expensed related to the acquisition.

Assuming the Rime acquisition was effective on January 1, 2023, Rime generated revenues of USD $20 million and net income of USD $4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The estimates and judgements used to prepare these figures may not be representative of actual results.

ii) Discovery Downhole Services

On February 10, 2022, the Company acquired the operating assets of Discovery Downhole Services (“Discovery”). The acquisition included the operating assets and non-executive personnel of Discovery's U.S.- based, high-performance mud motor technology rental business. Cathedral paid $18.2 million in cash consideration and issued 5,254,112 common shares valued at $0.52 per common share for total consideration of $20.9 million. In addition to a four-month statutory hold period on the common shares, the parties have agreed to contractual restrictions on resale as follows: 25% were restricted until February 10, 2023; a further 25% are restricted until August 10, 2023; and a further 50% are restricted until February 10, 2024, subject to certain exceptions.

On July 11, 2023, in connection with the Rime acquisition, the Company entered into a three-year term credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), replacing its existing credit facility with its syndicate of lenders led by ATB Financial (“ATB”). The Credit Facility provides an approximate $137 million principal amount comprised of: i) a $59 million Syndicated Term Facility (replacing the existing Syndicated Term Facility) (“CAD Syndicated Term Facility”), ii) a new USD $21 million term loan (CAD $27.1 million) (“USD Syndicated Term Facility”), repayable in equal quarterly installments over a five-year amortization period, iii) a $35 million Syndicated Operating Facility (previously $15 million), and iv) a $15 million Revolving Operating Facility (previously $10 million). The Credit Facility was utilized to replace and repay Cathedral’s existing credit facility. The interest rate and financial covenants remained unchanged from the existing credit facility.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company also repaid its balance owing on the Syndicated Operating Facility of $13 million. In addition, the Company made contractual repayments totaling $11.1 million related to its Syndicated Term Facility reducing the carrying value to $55.0 million as at September 30, 2023. The carrying values of the CAD Syndicated Term Facility and the USD Syndicated Term Facility are net of unamortized upfront financing fees as at September 30, 2023.

As at September 30, 2023, the $35 million Syndicated Operating Facility and the $15 million Revolving Operating Facility remained undrawn. In addition, the Company continues to hold a Highly Affected Sectors Credit Availability Program (“HASCAP”) loan.

At September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants, which were as follows:

  • Consolidated Funded Debt to Consolidated Credit Agreement EBITDA ratio shall not exceed 2.5.0:1; and

  • Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage ratio shall not be less than 1.25:1

The ability to purchase Common Shares under the NCIB commenced on July 17, 2023, and will terminate no later than July 16, 2024. The actual number of Common Shares purchased under the NCIB, the timing of purchases and the price at which the Common Shares are purchased will be subject to management’s discretion.

Under the TSX rules, the Company is entitled to purchase up to the greater of: 25% of the average daily trading volume of the respective class of shares; or 1,000 shares on any trading day; or a larger amount of shares per calendar week, subject to the maximum number that may be acquired under the NCIB, if the transaction meets the block purchase exception rule under TSX rules. Accordingly, unless a block purchase meets the block purchase exception under TSX rules, the Company is entitled to purchase up to 99,621 Common Shares on any trading day.

The Plan commenced on July 17, 2023 and will terminate on July 16, 2024.

There are no material differences in the basis of accounting or the measurement of income, assets and liabilities between the Company and reported segment information. Revenues and expenses are attributed to geographical areas based on the location in which the services are rendered. The segment presentation of assets is based on legal owner of the assets which bears the related depreciation and amortization expenses.

Seasonality of operations

A portion of the Company's operations are carried on in Western Canada where activity levels in the oilfield services industry are subject to a degree of seasonality. Operating activities in Western Canada are generally lower during “spring breakup” which normally commences in mid to late-March and continues through to May. Operating activities generally peak in the winter months from December until mid to late-March. Additionally, volatility in the weather and temperatures not only during this period, but yearround, can create additional unpredictability in operational results. Activity levels in the oil and natural gas basins in the U.S. are not subject to the same level of seasonality that occurs in the Western Canada region.

12. Contractual obligations and contingencies

As at September 30, 2023, the Company's commitment to purchase property, plant and equipment is approximately $7.6 million, which is expected to take place over the next six months.

The Company also holds six letters of credit totaling $1.9 million related to rent payments, corporate credit cards and a utilities deposit.

Provision

The Company has recognized a provision of $6.1 million related to a recent U.S. tax audit matter. A portion of the provision was recognized as an expense of $4.3 million and a portion was recognized as property, plant and equipment and inventory of $1.8 million. The estimate was made by management using the latest information available and is subject to measurement uncertainty. Actual results may differ from this estimate.

The Company is also involved in various other legal claims associated with the normal course of operations. The Company believes that any liabilities that may arise pertaining to such matters would not have a material impact on its financial position.
