1. Business and Structure

Altus Group Limited (the “Company”) is a leading provider of software, data solutions and independent advisory services to the global commercial real estate (“CRE”) industry. The Company’s businesses, Altus Analytics and Commercial Real Estate Consulting, reflect decades of experience, a range of expertise, and technology‐enabled capabilities. The Company’s solutions empower clients to analyze, gain insight and recognize value on their real estate investments. Headquartered in Canada, the Company has approximately 2,400 employees around the world, with operations in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. The Company’s clients include many of the world’s largest CRE industry participants.

The address of the Company’s registered office is 33 Yonge Street, Suite 500, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The Company is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbol AIF and is domiciled in Canada.

“Altus Group” refers to the consolidated operations of the Company.

2. Basis of Preparation

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements (“interim financial statements”) as at and for the period ended March 31, 2021 follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as those used in the Company’s most recent audited annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020.

These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting . Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020.

These interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors for issue on May 6, 2021.

3. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions concerning the future. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on current facts, historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed are reasonable under the circumstances. Accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the actual results. The following are management’s most significant estimates and assumptions in determining the value of assets and liabilities and the most significant judgments in applying its accounting policies: revenue recognition and determination and allocation of the transaction price, impairment of trade receivables and contract assets, estimated impairment of goodwill, determination of purchase price allocations and contingent consideration, and income taxes.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID‐19 a global pandemic. The continued spread of this contagious disease outbreak and related public health developments have adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, leading to an economic downturn and to legislative and regulatory changes that have impacted the Company’s business and operations. The duration and magnitude of the impact of the outbreak and its potential adverse effects on the Company’s business or results of operations continue to be uncertain and will depend on future developments. Judgments made in these interim financial statements reflect management’s best estimates as of the period end, taking into consideration the most significant judgments that may be directly impacted by COVID‐19. Management’s significant estimates and assumptions that could be impacted most by COVID‐19 are: revenue recognition and determination and allocation of the transaction price, impairment of trade receivables and contract assets, and estimated impairment of goodwill.

4. Segmented Information

The segmentation reflects the way the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) allocates resources and assesses performance. The CEO considers the business from a core service perspective. The areas of core service are Altus Analytics and Commercial Real Estate Consulting.

Altus Analytics provides data, analytics software and technology‐related services. Proprietary data and data analytics platforms provide comprehensive real estate information and enable performance reviews, benchmarking and attribution analysis of commercial real estate portfolios. Software, such as ARGUS branded products, represents comprehensive global solutions for managing commercial real estate portfolios and improve the visibility and flow of information throughout critical processes.

4. Segmented Information, cont’d

Commercial Real Estate Consulting provides Property Tax, and Valuation and Cost Advisory solutions that span the life cycle of commercial real estate ‐ feasibility, development, acquisition, management and disposition. Property Tax performs assessment reviews, management, appeals and personal property and state and local tax advisory services. Valuation and Cost Advisory provides appraisals of real estate portfolios, valuation of properties for transactional purposes, due diligence and litigation and economic consulting, in addition to services in the areas of construction feasibility studies, budgeting, cost and loan monitoring and project management.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those applied in these interim financial statements. Revenue transactions between segments are valued at market rates and eliminated on consolidation. Revenues represent those recognized from contracts with customers.

The CEO assesses the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of Adjusted EBITDA. This measurement basis represents profit (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, adjusted for the effects of: occupancy costs calculated on a similar basis prior to the adoption of IFRS 16, finance costs (income), net ‐ other, depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangibles, depreciation of right‐of‐use assets, finance costs (income), net ‐ leases, acquisition and related transition costs (income), unrealized foreign exchange (gains) losses, (gains) losses on disposal of right‐of‐use assets, property, plant and equipment and intangibles, share of (profit) loss of joint venture, impairment charges, non‐cash share‐based compensation costs, (gains) losses on equity derivatives net of mark‐to‐market adjustments on related restricted share units (“RSUs”) and deferred share units (“DSUs”) being hedged, (gains) losses on derivatives, restructuring costs (recovery), (gains) losses on investments, (gains) losses on hedging transactions, and other costs or income of a non‐operating and/or non‐recurring nature.

(ii) Long‐Term Incentive Restricted Share Plan and Long‐Term Incentive Restricted Share Unit Plan

In March 2021, the Board of Directors approved two new long‐term incentive plans, the Long‐Term Incentive Restricted Share Plan (“LTIRS Plan”) and Long‐Term Incentive Restricted Share Unit Plan (“LTIRSU Plan”), to complement the existing Long‐Term Equity Incentive Plan.

Restricted shares (“RSs”) and restricted share units (“RSUs”) granted under these plans will not be available to the employee until three years following the grant date. After three years from the date of grant, the RSs and RSUs will be released, provided, subject to certain exceptions such as retirement, disability or death, that the individual is employed with the Company at the time of the release. Participants are entitled to receive cash dividends or notional distributions that are paid on common shares, respectively. If an employee resigned from the Company or is terminated for cause, all RSs and RSUs that have not yet been released from the three‐year restriction period will be forfeited.

With respect to RSs that are equity‐settled, the Company contributes funds to purchase common shares in the open market (through the facilities of the TSX or by private agreement) and are held by the Company as treasury shares until they vest. This amount is shown as a reduction in the carrying value of the Company’s common shares. The Company recognizes the fair value of the award when granted as employee compensation expense with a corresponding credit to contributed surplus over a three‐year period from the date of grant. As RSs are released, the portion of the contributed surplus relating to the RSs is credited to share capital within shareholders’ equity.

With respect to RSUs that are cash‐settled, the Company recognizes the fair value of the award when granted as employee compensation expense with a corresponding credit to trade payables and other over a three‐year period from the date of grant. Changes in the liability subsequent to the grant date and prior to settlement due to changes in fair value of the Company’s common shares are recorded as employee compensation expense in the period incurred.

The following is a summary of the Company’s LTIRS Plan activity:

Number of RSs
Balance as at January 1, 2021 (all unvested)
Granted 14,081
Balance as at March 31, 2021 (all unvested) 14,081

In March 2021, the Company granted a total value of $1,315 under the LTIRS Plan and purchased 14,081 common shares in the open market (through the facilities of the TSX or by private agreement).

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, there were no transfers between the levels in the hierarchy.

Cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and other (excluding deferred costs to obtain customer contracts, contract assets, and prepayments) due within one year, and trade payables and other (excluding contract liabilities, LTIRSU Plan, RSU Plan and DSU Plans payables, and contingent consideration payables) due within one year, are all short‐term in nature and, as such, their carrying values approximate their fair values. The fair values of non‐current trade receivables and other and trade payables and other are estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the cost of borrowing to the Company, which approximate their carrying values.

The fair value of the bank credit facilities approximates its carrying value, as the instruments bear interest at rates comparable to current market rates.

16. Commitments and Contingencies

As at March 31, 2021, the Company provided letters of credit of approximately $1,128 to its lessors (December 31, 2020 ‐ $1,107).

16. Commitments and Contingencies, cont’d

From time to time, the Company or its subsidiaries are involved in legal proceedings, claims and litigation in the ordinary course of business with customers, former employees and other parties. Although it is not possible to determine the final outcome of such matters, based on all currently available information, management believes that liabilities, if any, arising from such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations and have been adequately provided for in these interim financial statements.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to tax audits from various government agencies relating to income and commodity taxes. As a result, from time to time, the tax authorities may disagree with the positions and conclusions made by the Company in its tax filings, which could lead to assessments and reassessments. These assessments and reassessments may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

17. Events After the Reporting Period
