NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 AND 2021 (in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts) (unaudited)
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
Aecon Group Inc. (“Aecon” or the “Company”) is a publicly traded construction and infrastructure development company incorporated in Canada. Aecon and its subsidiaries provide services to private and public sector clients throughout Canada and on a selected basis internationally. Its registered office is located in Toronto, Ontario at 20 Carlson Court, Suite 105, M9W 7K6.
The Company operates in two segments within the infrastructure development industry: Construction and Concessions.
2. DATE OF AUTHORIZATION FOR ISSUE
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company were authorized for issue on July 28, 2022 by the Board of Directors of the Company.
3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Basis of presentation
The Company prepares its interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements including International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. The accounting policies that are set out in Note 5, “ Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ” to the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 were consistently applied to all periods presented, except for new accounting standards and amendments that became effective on January 1, 2022 as described in Note 5, “ New Accounting Standards ”.
Seasonality
The construction industry in Canada is seasonal in nature for companies like Aecon who do a significant portion of their work outdoors, particularly road construction and utilities work. As a result, less work is performed in the winter and early spring months than in the summer and fall months. Accordingly, Aecon has historically experienced a seasonal pattern in its operating results, with the first half of the year, and particularly the first quarter, typically generating lower revenue and profits than the second half of the year. Therefore, results in any one quarter are not necessarily indicative of results in any other quarter, or for the year as a whole.
Basis of measurement
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the revaluation of certain financial assets and financial liabilities to fair value, including derivative instruments.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. In addition, the Company’s participation in joint arrangements classified as joint operations is accounted for in the consolidated financial statements by reflecting, line by line, the Company’s share of the assets held jointly, liabilities incurred jointly, and revenue and expenses arising from the joint operations. The consolidated financial statements also include the Company’s investment in and share of the earnings of projects accounted for using the equity method.
4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in a material adjustment to the carrying value of the asset or liability affected.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 AND 2021 (in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts) (unaudited)
Critical accounting estimates are those that require management to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate or assumption is made. Critical accounting estimates are also those that could potentially have a material impact on the Company’s financial results were a different estimate or assumption used.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. These estimates and assumptions are subject to change at any time based on experience and new information. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Critical accounting estimates are also not specific to any one segment unless otherwise noted below.
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 5, “ Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, ” in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. The following discussion is intended to describe those judgments and key assumptions concerning major sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that have the most significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
COVID-19 PANDEMIC
The COVID-19 pandemic continued to disrupt global health and the economy in the first six months of 2022 and has created an indeterminate period of volatility in the markets in which Aecon operates. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted Aecon’s operations since 2020 at varying times by way of suspensions of certain of the Company’s projects and operations, either by its clients or due to a broader government directive, by disruption to the progress of projects due to the need to modify work practices to meet appropriate health and safety standards, or by other COVID-19 related impacts on air traffic, inflation, the availability of labour or to the supply chain.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, notwithstanding the vaccination campaigns that are currently underway in Canada and other countries, the duration and full financial effect of the COVID-19 pandemic is still uncertain at this time, as is the efficacy of government and central bank interventions, the Company’s business continuity plan and other mitigating measures. Any estimate of the length and severity of these developments is therefore subject to significant uncertainty, and accordingly estimates of the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may materially and adversely affect the Company’s operations, financial results and condition in future periods are also subject to significant uncertainty. Therefore, uncertainty about judgments, estimates and assumptions made by management during the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements related to potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities, and note disclosures could result in a material adjustment to the carrying value of the asset or liability affected. The major sources of estimation uncertainty and judgment affecting the Company are discussed in greater detail below.
4.1 MAJOR SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
REVENUE AND GROSS PROFIT RECOGNITION
Revenue and income from fixed price construction contracts, including contracts in which the Company participates through joint operations, are determined on the percentage of completion method, based on the ratio of costs incurred to date over estimated total costs. The Company has a process whereby progress on jobs is reviewed by management on a regular basis and estimated costs to complete are updated. However, due to unforeseen changes in the nature or cost of the work to be completed or performance factors, contract profit can differ significantly from earlier estimates.
The Company’s estimates of contract revenue and cost are highly detailed. Management believes, based on its experience, that its current systems of management and accounting controls allow the Company to produce materially reliable estimates of total contract revenue and cost during any accounting period. However, many factors can and do change during a contract performance period, which can result in a change to contract profitability from one financial reporting period to another. Some of the factors that can change the estimate of total contract revenue and cost include differing site conditions (to the extent that contract remedies are unavailable), the availability of skilled contract labour, the performance of major material suppliers to deliver on time, the performance of major subcontractors, unusual weather conditions and the accuracy of the original bid estimate. Fixed price contracts are common across all of the Company’s sectors, as are change orders and claims, and therefore these estimates are not unique to one core segment. Because the Company has many contracts in process at any given time, these changes in estimates can offset each other without

impacting overall profitability. Changes in cost estimates, which on larger, more complex construction projects can have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, are reflected in the results of operations when they become known.
A change order results from a change to the scope of the work to be performed compared to the original contract that was signed. Unpriced change orders are change orders that have been approved as to scope but unapproved as to price. Claims are amounts in excess of the agreed contract price, or amounts not included in the original contract price, that the Company seeks to collect from clients for delays, errors in specifications and designs, contract terminations, change orders in dispute or unapproved as to both scope and price, or other causes of unanticipated additional costs. Management, in making judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the contract revenue and cost amounts from unpriced change orders and claims, also considered the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations. As noted above in greater detail, Aecon’s operations since 2020 were impacted at varying times by the suspension of certain of the Company’s projects and operations, by disruption to the progress of projects, or by other COVID-19 related impacts on air traffic, inflation, the availability of labour or to the supply chain. These judgments, estimates and assumptions affecting the revenue and cost forecasts of individual performance obligations were based on facts and circumstances that existed at the time when such judgments, estimates and assumptions were made. In accordance with the Company’s accounting policy, unpriced change orders and claims are recognized in revenue at the amount the Company expects to be entitled to, where it is highly probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Where such revenue amounts cannot be estimated with reasonable assurance, they are excluded from the revenue forecast of the related performance obligation. Therefore, it is possible for the Company to have substantial contract costs recognized in one accounting period with associated revenue recognized in a later period.
Given the above-noted critical accounting estimates associated with the accounting for construction contracts, including change orders and claims, it is reasonably possible, on the basis of existing knowledge, that outcomes within the next financial year or later could be different from the estimates and assumptions adopted and could require a material adjustment to revenue and/or the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected. The Company is unable to quantify the potential impact to the consolidated financial results from a change in estimate in calculating revenue.
LITIGATION RISK AND CLAIMS RISK
Disputes are common in the construction industry and as such, in the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various legal actions and proceedings which arise from time to time, some of which may be substantial, including the legal proceedings discussed in Note 21, “Contingencies” . The Company must make certain assumptions and rely on estimates regarding potential outcomes of legal proceedings in order to determine if a provision is required. Estimating and recording the future outcome of litigation proceedings requires management to make significant judgments and assumptions, which are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. Management regularly analyzes current information about these matters, and internal and external legal counsel, as well as other claim specialists, are often used for these assessments. In making decisions regarding the need for provisions, management considers the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a sufficiently reliable estimate of the amount of loss. As part of its analysis, the Company also considered any impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on management’s assumptions and estimates related to the potential outcomes of legal proceedings. The outcome of matters related to disputes, legal actions and proceedings may have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company, and there is no guarantee that there will not be a future rise in litigation which, depending on the nature of the litigation, could impact the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.
The Company also pursues claims against project owners for additional costs exceeding the contract price or for amounts not included in the original contract price. When these types of events occur and unresolved claims are pending, the Company may invest significant working capital in projects to cover costs pending the resolution of the relevant claims. A failure to ultimately recover on claims could have a material effect on liquidity and financial results.
FAIR VALUING FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
From time to time, the Company, often through its subsidiaries, joint arrangements and equity accounted investees, enters into forward contracts and other foreign exchange hedging products to manage its exposure to changes in exchange rates related to transactions denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar, but does not hold or issue such financial instruments for speculative trading purposes. In addition, some of the Company’s equity accounted

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 AND 2021 (in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts) (unaudited)
investees enter into derivative financial instruments, namely interest rate swaps, to hedge the variability of interest rates related to non-recourse project debt. The Company is required to measure certain financial instruments at fair value, using the most readily available market comparison data and where no such data is available, using quoted market prices of similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other observable inputs that can be corroborated.
Management considered the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s cash flow hedges. For derivative instruments that hedge the Company’s exposure to variability in expected future cash flows and that are designated as cash flow hedges, management assessed whether the occurrence of future transactions that are the subject of these hedges were still considered highly probable as at June 30, 2022. Based on this assessment, the Company determined that there was no change that would require prospectively discontinuing the application of hedge accounting for such transactions.
Further information with regard to the treatment of financial instruments can be found in Note 28, “Financial Instruments.”
MEASUREMENT OF RETIREMENT BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS
The Company’s obligations and expenses related to defined benefit pension plans, including supplementary executive retirement plans, are determined using actuarial valuations and are dependent on many significant assumptions. The defined benefit obligations and benefit cost levels will change as a result of future changes in actuarial methods and assumptions, membership data, plan provisions, legislative rules, and future experience gains or losses, which have not been anticipated at this time. Emerging experience, differing from assumptions, will result in gains or losses that will be disclosed in future accounting valuations. Refer to Note 23, “ Employee Benefit Plans ,” in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, for further details regarding the Company’s defined benefit plans as well as the impact to the financial results of a 0.5% change in the discount rate assumption used in the calculations.
INCOME TAXES
The Company is subject to income taxes in both Canada and several foreign jurisdictions. Significant estimates and judgments are required in determining the Company’s worldwide provision for income taxes. In the ordinary course of business, there are transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Management estimates income taxes for each jurisdiction the Company operates in, taking into consideration different income tax rates, non-deductible expenses, valuation allowances, changes in tax laws, and management’s expectations of future results. Management bases its estimates of deferred income taxes on temporary differences between the assets and liabilities reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and the assets and liabilities determined by the tax laws in the various countries in which the Company operates. Although the Company believes its tax estimates are reasonable, there can be no assurance that the final determination of any tax audits and litigation will not be materially different from that reflected in the Company’s historical income tax provisions and accruals. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the Company’s income tax expense and current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period in which such determinations are made. Although management believes it has adequately provided for any additional taxes that may be assessed as a result of an audit or litigation, the occurrence of either of these events could have an adverse effect on the Company’s current and future results and financial condition.
The Company also considered the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on projections and assumptions of future taxable income and therefore the recoverability of deferred income tax assets recognized as at June 30, 2022 and concluded that there was no significant impact.
The Company is unable to quantify the potential future impact to its consolidated financial results from a change in estimate in calculating income tax assets and liabilities.
IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful lives. Goodwill, which has an indefinite life, is not amortized. Management evaluates intangible assets that are not amortized at the end of each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. Intangible assets with finite lives

Page 11
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 AND 2021 (in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts) (unaudited)
are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. As part of its review of impairment indicators, the Company also considered the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on goodwill and other intangible assets as at June 30, 2022. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives, if any, are tested for impairment by applying a fair value test in the fourth quarter of each year and between annual tests if events occur or circumstances change, which suggest the goodwill or intangible assets should be evaluated.
Impairment assessments inherently involve management judgment as to the assumptions used to project these amounts and the impact of market conditions on those assumptions. The key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of cash generating units under the fair value less cost to disposal approach are: weighted average cost of capital used to discount the projected cash flows; cash flows generated from new work awards; and projected operating margins.
The weighted average cost of capital rates used to discount projected cash flows are developed via the capital asset pricing model, which is primarily based on market inputs. Management uses discount rates it believes are an accurate reflection of the risks associated with the forecasted cash flows of the respective reporting units.
To develop the cash flows generated from project awards and projected operating margins, the Company tracks prospective work primarily on a project-by-project basis as well as the estimated timing of when new work will be bid or prequalified, started and completed. Management also gives consideration to its relationships with prospective customers, the competitive landscape, changes in its business strategy, and the Company’s history of success in winning new work in each reporting unit. With regard to operating margins, consideration is given to historical operating margins in the end markets where prospective work opportunities are most significant, and changes in the Company’s business strategy.
Unanticipated changes in these assumptions or estimates could materially affect the determination of the fair value of a reporting unit and, therefore, could reduce or eliminate the excess of fair value over the carrying value of a reporting unit entirely and could potentially result in an impairment charge in the future.
Refer to Note 14, “ Intangible Assets” , in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, for further details regarding goodwill and other intangible assets.
LEASES
The application of IFRS 16 “ Leases ” requires significant judgments and certain key estimations to be made.
Critical judgments required in the application of IFRS 16 include the following:
-
Identifying whether a contract (or part of a contract) includes a lease;
-
Determining whether it is reasonably certain that an extension or termination option will be exercised;
-
Determining whether variable payments are in-substance fixed;
-
Establishing whether there are multiple leases in an arrangement; and
-
Determining the stand-alone selling price of lease and non-lease components.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty in the application of IFRS 16 include the following:
-
Estimating the lease term;
-
Determining the appropriate rate to discount lease payments; and
-
Assessing whether a right-of-use asset is impaired.
Unanticipated changes in these judgments or estimates could affect the identification and determination of the value of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets at initial recognition, as well as the subsequent measurement of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. These items could potentially result in changes to amounts reported in the consolidated statements of income and consolidated balance sheets in a given period.
Refer to Note 11, “ Property, plant and equipment ”, and Note 16, “ Long-term debt and non-recourse project debt ” for further details regarding leases.
ALLOWANCE FOR EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES
The Company considered any potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in its analysis of expected credit losses as at June 30, 2022. The Company maintains an allowance for expected credit losses to provide for the estimated amount of

Page 12
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 AND 2021 (in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts) (unaudited)
receivables that will not be collected. The allowance is based upon an assessment of creditworthiness of the portfolio of customers (most of which are government clients, crown corporations, or major industrial companies), historical payment experience, the age of outstanding receivables, collateral to the extent applicable, and forward-looking information regarding collectability. Based on this review, there was no significant change to the Company’s allowance for expected credit losses as at June 30, 2022.
4.2 JUDGMENTS
The following are critical judgments management has made in the process of applying accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on how certain amounts are reported in the consolidated financial statements.
BASIS FOR CONSOLIDATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF JOINT ARRANGEMENTS
Assessing the Company’s ability to control or influence the relevant financial and operating policies of another entity may, depending on the facts and circumstances, require the exercise of significant judgment to determine whether the Company controls, jointly controls, or exercises significant influence over the entity performing the work. This assessment of control impacts how the operations of these entities are reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements (i.e., full consolidation, equity investment or proportional share).
The Company performs the majority of its construction projects through wholly owned subsidiary entities, which are fully consolidated. However, a number of projects, particularly some larger, multi-year, multi-disciplinary projects, are executed through partnering agreements. As such, the classification of these entities as a subsidiary, joint operation, joint venture, associate or financial instrument requires judgment by management to analyze the various indicators that determine whether control exists. In particular, when assessing whether an entity is classified as either a joint operation, joint venture or associate, management considers the contractual rights and obligations, voting shares, share of board members and the legal structure of the joint arrangement. Subject to reviewing and assessing all the facts and circumstances of each joint arrangement, joint arrangements contracted through agreements and general partnerships would generally be classified as joint operations whereas joint arrangements contracted through corporations would be classified as joint ventures. The majority of the current partnering agreements are classified as joint operations.
The application of different judgments when assessing control or the classification of joint arrangements could result in materially different presentations in the consolidated financial statements.
SERVICE CONCESSION ARRANGEMENTS
The accounting for concession arrangements requires the application of judgment in determining if the project falls within the scope of IFRIC Interpretation 12, “ Service Concession Arrangements ”, (“IFRIC 12”). Additional judgments are needed when determining, among other things, the accounting model to be applied under IFRIC 12, the allocation of the consideration receivable between revenue-generating activities, the classification of costs incurred on such activities, as well as the effective interest rate to be applied to the financial asset. As the accounting for concession arrangements under IFRIC 12 requires the use of estimates over the term of the arrangement, any changes to these long-term estimates could result in a significant variation in the accounting for the concession arrangement.
5. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
The following amendments to standards and interpretations became effective for the annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The application of these amendments and interpretations had no significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Reference to the Conceptual Framework (Amendments to IFRS 3, Business Combinations)
The amendments to IFRS 3 update an outdated reference in IFRS 3 without significantly changing its requirements and add an explicit statement that an acquirer does not recognize contingent assets acquired in a business combination.
Fees in the “10 Per Cent Test” for Derecognition of Financial Liabilities (Amendments to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments)
The amendments to IFRS 9 clarify which fees an entity includes when it applies the “10 per cent test” in assessing whether to derecognize a financial liability. An entity includes only fees paid or received between the entity (the borrower) and the lender, including fees paid or received by either the entity or the lender on the other’s behalf.

Property, Plant and Equipment - Proceeds Before Intended Use (Amendments to IAS 16, Property, Plant and
Equipment)
The amendments to IAS 16 prohibit deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, an entity recognizes the proceeds from selling such items, and the cost of producing those items, in profit or loss.
Onerous Contracts - Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (Amendments to IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets)
The amendments to IAS 37 provide guidance regarding the costs a company should include as the cost of fulfilling a contract when assessing whether a contract is onerous. The amendments specify that the cost of fulfilling a contract comprises the costs that relate directly to the contract and can either be incremental costs of fulfilling that contract or an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts.
6. FUTURE ACCOUNTING CHANGES
Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial
Statements)
The amendments to IAS 1 provide a more general approach to the classification of liabilities based on the contractual arrangements in place at the reporting date. The amendments clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or noncurrent should be based on rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period and align the wording in all affected paragraphs to refer to the right to defer settlement by at least twelve months and make explicit that only rights in place at the end of the reporting period should affect the classification of a liability. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 and are to be applied retrospectively.
Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1)
The amendments to IAS 1 require an entity to disclose its material accounting policies instead of its significant accounting policies. The amendments clarify that accounting policy information is material if users of an entity’s financial statements would need it to understand other material information in the financial statements. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 and are to be applied prospectively.
Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendments to IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors)
The amendments to IAS 8 provide guidance to assist entities in distinguishing between accounting policies and accounting estimates. The amendments replace the definition of a change in accounting estimates with the definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty. The amendments also clarify that a change in accounting estimate that results from new information or new developments is not the correction of an error. In addition, the effects of a change in an input or a measurement technique used to develop an accounting estimate are changes in accounting estimates if they do not result from the correction of prior period errors. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 and are to be applied prospectively.
Deferred Tax on Assets and Liabilities Arising From Lease and Decommissioning Obligation Transactions
(Amendments to IAS 12, Income Taxes)
The amendments to IAS 12 provide clarifications in accounting for deferred tax on certain transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations. The amendments clarify that the initial recognition exemption does not apply to transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations. As a result, entities may need to recognize both a deferred tax asset and a deferred tax liability for temporary differences arising on initial recognition of leases and decommissioning obligations. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 and are to be applied to transactions that occur on or after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented.
The Company is still assessing the impact of adopting these amendments on its future financial statements.

21. CONTINGENCIES
Coastal GasLink Pipeline, Sections 3 and 4
The project has been delayed and impacted by various events for which SA Energy Group (“SAEG”), a partnership in which the Company holds a 50% interest, asserts Coastal GasLink (“CGL”) is contractually responsible, including, but not limited to, significant scope changes and delays by the client, unforeseen site conditions, recoverable weather impacts and a suspension implemented by the client as a result of regulatory restrictions imposed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. SAEG asserts that it is entitled to additional compensation for costs associated with those delays and impacts and has commenced an arbitration pursuant to the terms of the contract to resolve the matter. While this commercial dispute could result in a material impact to Aecon’s earnings, cash flow, and financial position if not resolved favourably, the ultimate results cannot be predicted at this time.
Kemano Generating Station Second Tunnel Project
During the second quarter of 2020, Rio Tinto issued a notice of termination of contract to the joint venture in which Aecon holds a 40% interest with respect to the Kemano Generating Station Second Tunnel Project. Rio Tinto also issued notice to the joint ventures’ sureties asserting a claim on the 50% performance bonds; the sureties entered into a cooperation agreement with Rio Tinto but have not taken a position on the validity of this claim on the bonds. In the third quarter of 2020, the joint venture issued a notice of civil claim seeking approximately $105,000 in damages from Rio Tinto. The joint venture has also registered and perfected a builders’ lien against project lands, providing security over approximately $97,000 of the claimed damages. Rio Tinto has issued a counterclaim against the joint venture but has not articulated the amount of damages it may seek from the joint venture; such amount is expected to be material. While it is possible that this commercial dispute could result in a material impact to Aecon’s earnings and cash flow if not resolved, the ultimate results cannot be predicted at this time. The aforementioned notice of civil claim was commenced in the Supreme Court of British Columbia between Frontier Kemper Constructors and Frontier Kemper – Aecon Joint Venture as plaintiffs/defendants by counterclaim and Rio Tinto Alcan Inc. and Aluminum Company of Canada Limited/Aluminum Du Canada Limitee as the defendants/plaintiffs by counterclaim.
K+S Potash Canada
During the second quarter of 2018, the Company filed a statement of claim in the Court of Queen's Bench for Saskatchewan (the "Court") against K+S Potash Canada ("KSPC") and KSPC filed a statement of claim in the Court against the Company. Both actions relate to the Legacy mine project in Bethune, Saskatchewan. The Company is seeking $180,000 in payments due to it pursuant to agreements entered into between the Company and KSPC with respect to the project plus approximately $14,000 in damages. The Company has recorded $139,292 of unbilled revenue and accounts receivable as at June 30, 2022. Offsetting this amount to some extent, the Company has accrued $45,000 in trade and

other payables for potential payments to third parties pending the outcome of the claim against KSPC. KSPC is seeking an order that the Company repay to KSPC approximately $195,000 already paid to the Company pursuant to such agreements. The Company has also been brought into two other lawsuits in the same Court between KSPC and various other contractors involved with the Legacy mine project, both relating to matters which the Company believes are materially covered by insurance coverage, to the extent of any liability. These claims may not be resolved for several years. While the Company considers KSPC’s claim to be without merit and does not expect that the resolution of these claims will cause a material impact to its financial position, the ultimate results cannot be predicted at this time.
The Company is involved in various other disputes and litigation both as plaintiff and defendant. In the opinion of management, the resolution of other disputes against the Company, including those provided for (see Note 15, “Provisions” ), will not result in a material effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company.
See also Note 4, “ Critical Accounting Estimates ” for judgments and estimates impacting litigation risk and claims risk.
As part of regular operations, the Company has the following guarantees and letters of credit outstanding:

| Financial and performance - issued by Export Development Canada | Various joint arrangement projects |
$ 568,804 |
| Financial and performance - issued in the normal conduct of business | Various | $ 8,900 |
Under the terms of many of the Company’s associate and joint arrangement contracts with project owners, each of the partners is jointly and severally liable for performance under the contracts. As at June 30, 2022, the value of uncompleted work for which the Company’s associate and joint arrangement partners are responsible, and which the Company could be responsible for assuming, amounted to approximately $10,225,394 a portion of which is supported by performance bonds. In the event the Company assumed this additional work, it would have the right to receive the partner’s share of billings to the project owners pursuant to the respective associate or joint arrangement contract.

three years. Compensation charges related to the LTIP are expensed over the estimated vesting period of the awards in marketing, general and administrative expense. Awards made to individuals who are eligible to retire under the plan are assumed, for accounting purposes, to vest immediately.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded LTIP compensation charges of $4,602 (2021 - $4,708) and $9,065 (2021 - $8,133) respectively.
Other Stock-based Compensation – Director DSU Awards
In February 2021, the Board of Directors modified its director compensation program by replacing the 2014 Director DSU Plan (as defined below) with a director deferred share unit plan that provides for the settlement of DSUs in cash only (the “2021 Director DSU Plan”) for future grants. A DSU is a right to receive an amount from the Company equal to the value of one common share. In addition to the discretionary award of DSUs, directors have an option to elect to receive 50% or 100% of their Board annual retainer fee that is otherwise payable in cash in the form of DSUs. The number of DSUs awarded to a director is equal to the value of the compensation that a director elects to receive in DSUs or the value awarded by the Company on an annual basis divided by the volume weighted average trading price of a common share on the TSX for the five trading days prior to the date of the award. DSUs are redeemable on the first business day following the date the director ceases to serve on the Board.
The Board of Directors will no longer issue new DSUs under the director deferred share unit plan dated May 2014 (the “2014 Director DSU Plan”). The last award of DSUs under the 2014 Director DSU Plan was made on March 12, 2020. DSUs granted under the 2014 Director DSU Plan will continue to be governed by the terms of the 2014 Director DSU Plan.
Director DSU awards are expensed in full on the date of grant and recognized in marketing, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of income. DSU awards under the 2014 Director DSU Plan are accounted for as equity-settled stock-based transactions. DSU awards under the 2021 Director DSU Plan are accounted for as cash-settled stock-based transactions with the related liability revalued to fair value at the end of each reporting period. Director DSUs have accompanying dividend equivalent rights, which are also expensed as earned in marketing, general and administrative expense.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded Director DSU compensation (income)/expense, net of fair value adjustments, of $(403) and $975, respectively (2021 - $(6) and $1,166, respectively).
Other Stock-based Compensation – Employee Share Unit (ESU) Awards
In April 2019, the Company adopted an Employee Share Unit (“ESU”) plan, an employee benefit program that enables all permanent, non-unionized, Canadian resident employees to become shareholders of the Company. The program includes ESUs gifted to eligible employees, and additional ESUs that may be purchased by eligible employees during a predetermined window each year at a discounted price.
ESU awards and purchases vest annually over three years. ESUs are equity settled awards with compensation charges related to ESU awards and purchases expensed over the estimated vesting period in marketing, general and administrative expense.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded an ESU compensation charge of $378 (2021 - $331) and $682 (2021 - $492), respectively.

28. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value
From time to time, the Company enters into forward contracts and other foreign exchange hedging products to manage its exposure to changes in exchange rates related to transactions denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar but does not hold or issue such financial instruments for speculative trading purposes. As at June 30, 2022, the Company had contracts to buy US$1,200 (December 31, 2021 - US$4,000) on which there was a cumulative net unrealized exchange gain of $17 recorded in the consolidated statements of income as at that date (December 31, 2021 - gain $12). In addition, as at June 30, 2022, outstanding contracts to buy US$131,620 (December 31, 2021 – buy US$142,364) were designated as cash flow hedges on which there was a cumulative unrealized gain recorded in other comprehensive income of $1,045 (December 31, 2021 – loss $1,224). The net unrealized exchange gain or loss represents the estimated amount the Company would have received/paid if it terminated the contracts at the end of the respective periods.
In addition, some of the Company’s investments in projects accounted for using the equity method enter into derivative financial instruments, namely interest rate swaps, to hedge the variability of interest rates related to non-recourse project debt. As at June 30, 2022, for these derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges, there was a cumulative unrealized gain recorded in other comprehensive income of $14,209 (December 31, 2021 - loss $8,412).
IFRS 13, “Fair Value Measurement”, enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is based on three levels of inputs. The first two levels are considered observable and the last unobservable. These levels are used to measure fair values as follows:
• Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
• Level 2 – Inputs, other than Level 1 inputs, that are observable for assets and liabilities, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include: quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
• Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy under which the Company’s fair value disclosures of financial instruments are calculated.
| As at June 30, 2022 | |
|---|---|
| Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 |
|
| Financial assets (liabilities) measured at fair value: Cash flow hedges $ 15,254 $ - $ 15,254 $ - Financial assets (liabilities) disclosed at fair value: Long-term financial assets 6,635 - 6,635 - Long-term debt (230,586) - (230,586) - Non-recourse project debt (361,761) - (361,761) - Convertible debentures (184,920) (184,920) - - |
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and no transfers into or out of Level 3 fair value measurements.

Risk management
The main risks arising from the Company’s financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and currency risk. These risks arise from exposures that occur in the normal course of business and are managed on a consolidated Company basis.
Credit risk
Concentration of credit risk associated with accounts receivable, holdbacks receivable and unbilled revenue is limited by the Company’s diversified customer base and its dispersion across different business and geographic areas.
As at June 30, 2022, the Company had $50,801 in trade receivables that were past due. Of this amount, $39,410 was over 60 days past due, against which the Company has recorded an allowance for expected credit losses of $1,196.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled in cash or another financial asset.
Contractual maturities for financial liabilities as at June 30, 2022 are as follows:
| Due between | Total | |||||||||||

Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its short-term deposits and its long-term debt to the extent that its investments or credit facilities are based on floating rates of interest.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, a 1% increase or a 1% decrease in interest rates applied to the Company’s variable rate long-term debt would not have a significant impact on net earnings or comprehensive income.
Currency risk
The Company operates internationally and is exposed to risk from changes in foreign currency rates. The Company is mainly exposed to fluctuations in the US dollar.
The Company’s sensitivity to a 10% change in the US dollar against the Canadian dollar as at June 30, 2022 to profit or loss for currency exposures would be $13,079. The sensitivity analysis includes foreign currency denominated monetary items but excludes all investments in joint ventures and hedges and adjusts their translation at year-end for the above 10% change in foreign currency rates.

29. CAPITAL DISCLOSURES
For capital management purposes, the Company defines capital as the aggregate of its shareholders’ equity and debt. Debt includes the current and non-current portions of long-term debt (excluding non-recourse debt) and the current and non-current long-term debt components of convertible debentures.
Although the Company monitors capital on a number of bases, including liquidity and working capital, total debt (excluding non-recourse debt and drawings on the Company’s credit facility presented as bank indebtedness) as a percentage of total capitalization (debt to capitalization percentage) is considered to be the most important metric in measuring the strength and flexibility of its consolidated balance sheets. As at June 30, 2022, the debt to capitalization percentage including convertible debentures as debt was 31% (December 31, 2021 - 30%). If the convertible debentures were to be excluded from debt and added to equity on the basis that they could be redeemed for equity, either at the Company’s option or at the holder’s option, then the adjusted debt to capitalization percentage would be 18% as at June 30, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - 17%). While the Company believes this debt to capitalization percentage is acceptable, because of the cyclical nature of its business, the Company will continue its current efforts to maintain a conservative capital position.
As at June 30, 2022, the Company complied with all of its financial debt covenants.
30. OPERATING SEGMENTS
Segment reporting is based on the Company’s divisional operations. The breakdown by division mirrors the Company’s internal reporting systems.
The Company currently operates in two segments within the infrastructure development industry: Construction and Concessions. The other costs and eliminations category in the summary below includes corporate costs and other activities not directly allocable to segments and also includes inter-segment eliminations.
