BADGER DAYLIGHTING LTD. Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 (Unaudited - Expressed in thousands of Canadian Dollars unless otherwise stated)
1 Incorporation and operations
Badger Daylighting Ltd. and its subsidiaries (together “Badger” or the “Company”) provide non-destructive excavating services to utilities, industrial, construction, transportation and other industries in Canada and the United States (“U.S.”). Badger is a publicly traded company. The head office of Badger is located at Suite 400, 919-11[th] Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta T2R 1P3. The registered office of Badger is located at c/o CAS Corporate Governance Services Inc., 600, 8158[th] Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta T2P 3P2.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors (“Board”) on May 4, 2021.
2 Basis of preparation
Statement of compliance
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 – Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Basis of measurement
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for share-based plan transactions measured at fair market value. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value consideration given in exchange for goods and services at the time of the transaction.
Functional and presentation currency
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.
3 Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues, expenses, gains and losses during the reporting period. These judgements, estimates and assumptions are the same as those set out in the annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. Estimates and judgements are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The COVID-19 outbreak and related mitigation measures have had an adverse impact on global economic conditions resulting in government response actions, social distancing, business closures and reduced travel. These measures have caused disruptions to normal business operations and have increased economic uncertainty which have had an impact on the Company’s financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Management has considered the impact of COVID-19 on significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements and did not identify any material changes in the current year. The duration of the pandemic and its impact on the Company’s financial performance and position is an area of estimation uncertainty and judgement, which is constantly monitored and reflected in management’s estimates.

4 Recently announced accounting pronouncements
Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current
In January 2020, the IASB issued ‘Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current - amendments to IAS 1 to promote consistency in determining and reporting whether, in the statement of financial position, debt and other liabilities should be classified as current (settled within one year) or non-current based on rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. The amendment is effective January 1, 2023 and is required to be adopted retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted, and management does not anticipate material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
5 Seasonality of Operations
The Company’s sales are typically highest in the second, third and fourth quarters as a result of the seasonal upswing in construction activity, the impact of which typically results in higher activity levels. In the first quarter, construction activity in the majority of Canada and certain regions of the U.S. typically reduces as a result of winter weather conditions. Partially offsetting the impact of the seasonality related to construction activity, is demand for certain oil and gas related activities which are typically strongest in the first quarter and weakest in the second quarter as a result of spring break-up and restrictions related to road access. As the Company continues to grow its U.S. customer base, the impact of seasonality may shift over time. Similarly to sales, the Company’s net working capital requirements will typically follow the seasonality of the related sales activity.
6 Trade and other receivables
| Trade and other receivables | ||
|---|---|---|
| As at | March 31, 2021 | December 31,2020 |
| Trade receivables | 116,708 | 146,165 |

| Accrued revenue and other receivables | 5,736 | 6,194 |
| Trade and other receivables | 117,513 | 148,112 |
Holdback receivables are amounts customers withhold paying until the completion of the contract. These amounts are agreed in advance and typically have collection terms beyond the Company’s general payment terms.
Accrued revenue represents revenue for services which have been completed and for which an invoice has not yet been rendered. All such recorded amounts are considered collectable.
Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on 30-90 day payment terms.

8 Leases
Badger enters into leases primarily in order to secure office and yard space for the hydrovac operations and for lightduty vehicles. Terms of property leases vary including the life of the lease and the existence of extension options. Leases for light-duty vehicles are managed through a third-party and do not create a lease liability as Badger makes the required lease payments upon initiation of the lease.

Syndicated revolving credit facility
The Company has a $300.0 million syndicated revolving credit facility with a syndicate of five lenders. The $300.0 million syndicated revolving credit facility allows for borrowings in either Canadian or U.S. dollars, providing Badger with the administrative flexibility to borrow in the functional currency in both its Canadian and the U.S. operations. The syndicated revolving credit facility, which is a five-year term, matures on September 30, 2024. Badger has the flexibility to expand the syndicated revolving credit facility, subject to approval by the lenders, by an additional $150.0 million Canadian dollars. Badger maintains the syndicated revolving credit facility for general corporate and liquidity purposes, in addition to financing requirements, if any, related to Badger’s capital expenditure requirements. The increase and extension of the syndicated revolving credit facility completed on September 30, 2019, has no impact on the Company’s existing senior secured notes, including the respective financial covenant ratios and maturity dates, all of which is further detailed below.
The syndicated revolving credit facility bears interest, at the Company's option, at either the bank's prime rate plus a tiered set of basis points or bankers' acceptance (“BA”)/London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) also with a tiered structure. A standby fee is also required on the unused portion of the syndicated revolving credit facility on a tiered basis. The prime rate tiers range between zero and 175 basis points. The BA/LIBOR tiers range from 120 to 300 basis points. The standby fee tiers range between 24 and 60 basis points. All of the tiers are based on the Company’s Total Debt to Compliance EBITDA ratio. Stand-by fees are expensed as incurred. Under the terms of the syndicated revolving credit facility, the Company must comply with certain financial and non-financial covenants, as defined by the bank. Throughout 2021, and as at March 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all of these covenants.
The syndicated revolving credit facility is collateralized by a general security interest over the Company’s assets, property and undertaking, present and future. The outstanding letters of credit, which reduce the amount of available credit under the syndicated revolving credit facility, support the U.S. insurance program and certain other performance bonds.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 (Unaudited - Expressed in thousands of Canadian Dollars unless otherwise stated)
Supplemental credit facility
On May 7, 2020, the Company entered into a supplemental $100.0 million credit facility with the same group of lenders as its existing syndicated revolving credit facility. The supplemental credit facility has a term of one year, expiring on May 6, 2021. The supplemental credit facility is available for general corporate purposes, providing the Company with additional liquidity and financial flexibility should it be required. Key conditions of the facility, including financial covenants and pricing, are consistent with the Company’s existing syndicated revolving credit facility. As at March 31, 2021, the Company had no amounts outstanding on its supplemental credit facility.
As at March 31, 2021, the Company had available $314.0 million (December 31, 2020 - $326.4 million) of undrawn committed borrowing facilities in respect of which all conditions precedent had been met.
Senior secured notes
On January 24, 2014, Badger closed a private placement of senior secured notes with an original principal of US$75.0 million. The notes, which rank pari passu with the syndicated revolving credit facility, have a current principal amount outstanding of US$25.0 million, and an interest rate of 4.83% per annum and mature on January 24, 2022. A repayment of US$25.0 million, as required under the terms of the notes, was completed on January 24, 2021. The remaining amortizing principal repayment of US$25.0 million are due under the notes on January 24, 2022. Interest is paid semiannually in arrears.
The senior secured notes are collateralized by a general security interest over the Company’s assets, property and undertaking, present and future.
Under the terms of the senior secured notes, the Company must comply with certain financial and non-financial covenants, as defined by the bank. Throughout 2021, and as at March 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all of these covenants. As at March 31, 2021, the fair value of the senior secured notes was approximately US$26.2 million.
Hedge on net investment
The Company’s U.S. dollar denominated senior secured notes has been designated as a hedge of the net investment in its U.S. operations. At the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the Company documents whether the hedge is highly effective in offsetting foreign exchange fluctuations of its net investment. The effective portion of the change in fair value of the hedging instrument is recorded in other comprehensive income; any ineffectiveness is recorded immediately in earnings. Amounts included in foreign currency translation reserve will be recognized in net profit when there is a reduction of the hedged net investment.

11 Share-based plans
A) Deferred Share Unit Plan
The Deferred Share Unit (“DSU”) Plan was established to promote greater alignment of interests between the executive officers and the Shareholders of the Company. The Board may also participate in the plan whereby they will be paid 60% to 100% of the annual retainer in the form of deferred units. Pursuant to the terms of the DSU, participants are granted deferred units with a value equivalent to the value of a Badger share. The deferred units granted earn additional deferred units at the same rate as dividends on Badger common shares. The deferred units granted other than to the Board, which vest immediately, vest equally over a period of three years from the date of the grant. Upon vesting, the participant may elect to redeem the deferred units for an equal number of Badger shares or the cash equivalent. A maximum of 1,500,000 Common Shares have been reserved for issuance pursuant to the DSU Plan.
The DSU Plan is accounted for as a cash-settled plan. Compensation expense is based on the estimated fair value of the deferred units outstanding at the end of each quarter using a volume weighted average share price and recognized using graded vesting throughout the term of the vesting period, with a corresponding credit to liabilities.
The liability for deferred units outstanding as at March 31, 2021 is $24.0 million (December 31, 2020 - $20.9 million). The fair value of deferred units exercisable as at March 31, 2021 is $21.4 million (December 31, 2020 - $15.6 million). Changes in the number of deferred units under the DSU Plan were as follows:
| Units | |
|---|---|
| As at December 31, 2019 | 514,291 |
| Granted | 219,938 |
| Dividends earned | 12,020 |

| As at March 31, 2021 | 631,862 |
| Exercisable as at March 31, 2021 | 499,773 |
B) Performance Share Unit Plan
The Company also has a Performance Share Unit (“PSU”) Plan for officers of the Company. Officers must elect to have at least half but may elect to have all of their annual long-term incentive compensation awarded in PSUs, with the remainder, if any, awarded in RSUs. The PSUs represent rights to share value based on the number of PSUs issued and achieving certain performance criteria as set out by the Board of Directors. Subject to achievement of performance criteria, under the terms of the plan, PSUs awarded will vest on a three-year term on their anniversary date and are recognized over their vesting period. PSUs, which meet the performance and other vesting criteria, will be settled in cash upon exercise.
The PSU Plan is accounted for as a cash-settled plan. Compensation expense is based on the estimated fair value of the PSUs outstanding at the end of each quarter using a volume weighted average share price and recognized over the vesting period, with a corresponding credit to liabilities.

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders (the numerator) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding (the denominator) during the period. The denominator is calculated by adjusting the shares in issue at the beginning of the period by the number of shares bought back or issued during the period, multiplied by a time-weighting factor.
