Martinrea International Inc. Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts)
Martinrea International Inc. (“Martinrea” or the “Company”) was formed by the amalgamation under the Ontario Business Corporations Act of several predecessor Corporations by articles of amalgamation dated May 1, 1998. The Company is a diversified and global automotive supplier engaged in the design, development and manufacturing of highly engineered, value-added Lightweight Structures and Propulsion Systems.
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
(a) Statement of compliance
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ (“IAS” 34) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), and on a basis consistent with the accounting policies disclosed in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
(b) Basis of presentation
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Martinrea International Inc. and its subsidiaries. The notes presented in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements include in general only significant changes and transactions occurring since the Company’s last year end, and are not fully inclusive of all disclosures required by IFRS for annual financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 2023.
(c)
Presentation currency
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s presentation currency. All financial information presented in Canadian dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand, except per share amounts and where otherwise indicated.
(d) Recently adopted accounting standards and policies
Amendments to IFRS 16, Leases - Lease Liability in a sale and Leaseback
On September 22, 2022, the IASB issued Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback (Amendments to IFRS 16). The amendments introduce a new accounting model which impacts how a seller-lessee accounts for variable lease payments that arise in a sale-and-leaseback transaction. The amendments clarify that on initial recognition, the seller-lessee includes variable lease payments when it measures a lease liability arising from a sale-and-leaseback transaction. After initial recognition, the seller-lessee applies the general requirements for subsequent accounting of the lease liability such that it recognises no gain or loss relating to the right of use it retains.
The Company adopted the amendments to IFRS 16 effective January 1, 2024. The adoption of amendments to IFRS 16 did not have a material impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Amendments to IAS 1, Non-current Liabilities with Covenants
On October 31, 2022, the IASB issued Non-current Liabilities with Covenants (Amendments to IAS 1). The amendments specify that covenants to be complied with after the reporting date do not affect the classification of debts as current or non-current at the reporting date. Instead, the amendments require a company to disclose information about these covenants in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
The Company adopted the amendments to IAS 1 effective January 1, 2024. The adoption of amendments to IAS 1 did not have a material impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
(e) Recently issued accounting standard
The IASB issued the following new standard:
IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
On April 9, 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (replacement to IAS 1). The new accounting standard introduces three sets of new requirements to improve companies' reporting of financial performance and give investors a better basis for analyzing and comparing companies:
-
improved comparability in the statement of profit or loss by introducing three defined categories for income and expenses (operating, investing and financing) and requiring companies to provide new defined subtotals, including operating profit;
-
enhanced transparency of management-defined performance measures by requiring companies to disclose explanations of those company-specific measures that are related to the income statement; and
Page 6 Martinrea International Inc.
Martinrea International Inc. Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts)
- enhanced guidance on how companies group information in the financial statements, including guidance on whether information is included in the primary financial statements or is further disaggregated in the notes.
The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new standard on the consolidated financial statements.
2. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES
| March 31, 2024 | December | 31, 2023 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trade receivables | $ | 783,885 | $ | 643,959 |

The Company’s exposures to credit and currency risks, and impairment losses related to trade and other receivables, are disclosed in note 15.
On March 27, 2024, Martinrea entered into an accounts receivable program agreement to sell up to $100,000 in trade receivables without recourse and on an uncommitted basis, subject to predetermined limits for certain customers. Under the agreement, the receivables are sold on a fully serviced basis, so that the Company continues to administer the collection of such receivables. The Company derecognizes the trade receivables sold under the program when it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the receivables. As at March 31, 2024, no receivables were sold under the program.

14. OPERATING SEGMENTS
The Company is a diversified and global automotive supplier engaged in the design, development and manufacturing of highly engineered, value-added Lightweight Structures and Propulsion Systems. It conducts its operations through divisions, which function as autonomous business units, following a corporate policy of functional and operational decentralization. The Company’s offerings include a wide array of products, assemblies and systems for small and large cars, crossovers, pickups and sport utility vehicles.
The Company defines its operating segments as components of its business where separate financial information is available and routinely evaluated by management. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company uses operating income as the basis for the CODM to evaluate the performance of each of the Company’s reportable segments.
The following is a summary of selected data for each of the Company’s operating segments:

15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, investments, trade and other payables, longterm debt, and foreign exchange forward contracts.
Fair Value
IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value are required to 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, either directly or indirectly.
-
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 applicable financial instruments are valued:

The fair values of trade and other receivables and trade and other payables approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The estimated fair value of long-term debt approximates its carrying amount since it is subject to terms and conditions similar to those available to the Company for instruments with comparable terms, and the interest rates are market-based.
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 basis.
(a) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk of losses due to failure of the Company’s customers or other counterparties to meet their payment obligations. Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, and foreign exchange forward contracts.
Credit risk associated with cash and cash equivalents is minimized by ensuring these financial assets are placed with financial institutions with high credit ratings.
Page 17 Martinrea International Inc.
Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Martinrea International Inc.
(in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts)
The credit risk associated with foreign exchange forward contracts arises from the possibility that the counterparty to one of these contracts fails to perform according to the terms of the contract. Credit risk associated with foreign exchange forward contracts is minimized by entering into such transactions with major Canadian and U.S. financial institutions.
In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to credit risk from its customers. The Company has three customers whose sales were 27.0%, 22.5%, and 12.0% of its production sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024 (2023 - 26.4%, 17.4%, and 16.5%). A substantial portion of the Company’s trade receivables are with large customers in the automotive, truck and industrial sectors and are subject to normal industry credit risks. The level of trade receivables that were past due as at March 31, 2024 is within the normal payment pattern of the industry. The allowance for doubtful accounts is less than 1.0% of total trade receivables for all periods and movements in the period were minimal.
The aging of trade receivables at the reporting date was as follows:
| March 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 0-60 days | $ | 769,933 $ | 633,984 |
| 61-90 days | 5,454 | 2,158 | |
| Greater than 90 days | 8,498 | 7,817 | |
| $ | 783,885 $ | 643,959 |
(b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations when they become due. The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring sales volumes and collection efforts to ensure sufficient cash flows are generated from operations to meet its liabilities when they become due. Management monitors consolidated cash flows on a weekly basis covering a rolling 12-week period, quarterly through forecasting and annually through the Company’s budget process. At March 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $173,694 (December 31, 2023 - $186,804) and banking facilities available as discussed in note 8. All of the Company’s financial liabilities other than long-term debt have maturities of approximately 60 days.
A summary of contractual maturities of long-term debt is provided in note 8.
(c) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk refers to the risk that the value of a financial instrument or cash flows associated with the instrument will fluctuate due to changes in the market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk as a significant portion of the Company’s long-term debt bears interest at rates linked to the US prime, Canadian prime, SOFR or the CORRA rates. The interest on the bank facility fluctuates depending on the achievement of certain financial debt ratios.
The interest rate profile of the Company’s long-term debt was as follows:
| Carrying amount | |
|---|---|
| March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 |
|
| Variable rate instruments Fixed rate instruments |
$ 1,003,445 $ 938,129 26,749 31,107 |
| $ 1,030,194 $ 969,236 |
Sensitivity analysis
An increase of 1.0% in all variable interest rate debt would, all else being equal, have an effect of $2,486 (2023 - $2,692) on the Company’s consolidated financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
(d) Currency risk
Currency risk refers to the risk that the value of the financial instruments or cash flows associated with the instruments will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company undertakes revenue and purchase transactions in foreign currencies, and therefore is subject to gains and losses due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s foreign exchange risk management includes the use of foreign currency forward contracts to fix the exchange rates on certain foreign currency exposures.
At March 31, 2024, the Company had committed to the following foreign exchange contracts:

The aggregate value of these forward contracts as at March 31, 2024 was a pre-tax gain of $796 and was recorded in trade and other receivables (December 31, 2023 - pre-tax gain of $3,937 recorded in trade and other receivables).
The Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk reported in the foreign currency was as follows:

The following summary illustrates the fluctuations in the foreign exchange rates applied:
| Average rate Closing rate |
|
|---|---|
| Three months ended March 31, 2024 Three months ended March 31, 2023 March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 |

| USD EURO PESO BRL CNY |
1.3451 1.3476 1.3540 1.3204 1.4642 1.4388 1.4608 1.4598 0.0786 0.0708 0.0814 0.0781 0.2735 0.2587 0.2700 0.2729 0.1878 0.1956 0.1874 0.1859 |
Sensitivity analysis
The Company does not have significant foreign currency exposure based on each subsidiary’s functional currency. However, a 10% strengthening of the Canadian dollar against the following currencies at March 31 would give rise to a translation risk on net income and would have increased (decreased) equity, profit or loss and comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 by the amounts shown below, assuming all other variables remain constant:
| Three months ended | Three months ended | Three months ended | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| March 31, 2024 | March 31, 2023 | |||
| USD | $ | (5,181) |
$ | (5,910) |
| EURO | (948) | 298 | ||
| BRL | 42 | (70) | ||
| CNY | 270 | (78) | ||
| $ | (5,817) |
$ | (5,760) |
A weakening of the Canadian dollar against the above currencies at March 31 would have had the equal but opposite effect on the above currencies to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.
(e) Capital risk management
The Company's objectives in managing capital are to ensure sufficient liquidity to pursue its strategy of organic growth combined with complementary acquisitions and to provide returns to its shareholders. The Company defines capital that it manages as the aggregate of its equity, which is comprised of issued capital, contributed surplus, accumulated other comprehensive income and retained earnings, and debt.
Page 19 Martinrea International Inc.
Martinrea International Inc. Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts)
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of general economic conditions, the risk characteristics of the underlying assets and the Company's working capital requirements. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company, upon approval from its Board of Directors, may issue or repay long-term debt, issue shares, repurchase shares, or undertake other activities as deemed appropriate under the specific circumstances. The Board of Directors reviews and approves any material transactions out of the ordinary course of business, including proposals on acquisitions or other major investments or divestitures, as well as annual capital and operating budgets.
In addition to debt and equity, the Company may use leases as additional sources of financing. The Company monitors debt leverage ratios as part of the management of liquidity and shareholders’ return and to sustain future development of the business. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements and its overall strategy with respect to capital risk management remains unchanged from the prior year.
16. CONTINGENCIES
Contingencies
The Company has contingent liabilities relating to legal and tax proceedings arising in the normal course of its business. Known claims and litigation involving the Company or its subsidiaries were reviewed at the end of the reporting period. Based on the advice of legal counsel, all necessary provisions have been made to cover the related risks, however, there can be no assurance as to the final resolution of any claims and any resulting proceedings. If any claims and ensuing proceedings are determined adversely to the Company, the amounts the Company may be required to pay could be material and in excess of any amounts accrued. In addition, new proceedings may be initiated against the Company as a result of facts or circumstances unknown at the date of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements or for which the risk cannot yet be determined or quantified. Such proceedings could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial results.
Tax contingencies
The Company is subject to tax audits in various jurisdictions. Reviews by tax authorities generally focus on, but are not limited to, the validity of the Company’s intra-company transactions, including financing and transfer pricing policies which may involve subjective areas of taxation and significant judgement, and value added tax (“VAT”) credits claimed on certain purchases.
The Company’s subsidiary in Brazil, Martinrea Honsel Brazil Fundicao e comercio de Pecas em Alumino Ltda., is currently being assessed by the State of Sao Paulo’s tax authorities for certain historical VAT credits claimed on aluminum purchases from certain local suppliers that occurred prior to the acquisition of the Brazil subsidiary in 2011. The taxation system and regulatory environment in Brazil is characterized by numerous indirect taxes and frequently changing legislation subject to various interpretations by the various Brazilian regulatory authorities who are empowered to impose significant fines, penalties and interest charges. The basis for the assessments stems from the classification of aluminum purchases, the registration status of the aluminum suppliers in question and the differing treatments between manufactured and unmanufactured aluminum for VAT purposes. The potential exposure under these assessments, based on the notices issued by the tax authorities and most recent developments surrounding the assessments, is approximately $43,855 (BRL $162,406) including interest and penalties to March 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - $42,539 or BRL $155,897). The Company has sought external legal advice and believes that it has complied, in all material respects, with the relevant legislation and will continue to vigorously defend against the assessments. The amounts of certain assessments have decreased due to successful challenges by the Company’s subsidiary at preliminary stages of the proceedings. The assessments are at various stages in the process. Three assessments totaling $25,694 (BRL $95,151) including interest and penalties as at March 31, 2024 have entered the judicial litigation process. The Company’s subsidiary may be required to present guarantees related to these assessments up to $24,433 (BRL $90,481) shortly through a pledge of assets, bank letter of credit or cash deposit. No provision has been recorded by the Company in connection with this contingency as, at this stage, the Company has concluded that it is not probable that a liability will result from the matter.
The Company’s subsidiary in Queretaro, Mexico, Martinrea Honsel Mexico, S.A. de C.V., is currently being assessed by the Mexican Federal Tax Authorities for tax deductions taken mainly in respect of certain intra-company transactions. The potential exposure under these assessments, based on the notices issued by the tax authorities, is approximately $96,306 (MXN $1,183,062) including interest and penalties to March 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - $91,423 or MXN $1,170,668). The Company has sought external legal advice and believes that it has complied, in all material respects, with the relevant legislation and will continue to vigorously defend against such assessments. No provision has been recorded by the Company in connection with this contingency as, at this stage, the Company has concluded that it is not probable that a liability will result from the matter.
17. GUARANTEES
The Company is a guarantor under a tooling financing program. The tooling financing program involves a third party that provides tooling suppliers with financing subject to a Company guarantee. Payments from the third party to the tooling supplier are approved by the Company prior to the funds being
Page 20 Martinrea International Inc.
Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Martinrea International Inc.
(in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts)
advanced. The amounts loaned to the tooling suppliers through this financing arrangement do not appear on the Company’s interim condensed consolidated balance sheet unless the sale on the corresponding tooling project has been recognized, at which point a tooling trade payable on the project is recorded. At March 31, 2024, the amount of the off-balance sheet program financing was $21,372 (December 31, 2023 - $16,457) representing the maximum amount of undiscounted future payments the Company could be required to make under the guarantee.
The Company would be required to perform under the guarantee in cases where a tooling supplier could not meet its obligations to the third party. Since the amount advanced to the tooling supplier is required to be repaid generally when the Company receives reimbursement from the final customer, and at this point the Company will in turn repay the tooling supplier, the Company views the likelihood of the tooling supplier default as remote. No such defaults occurred during 2023 or 2024. Moreover, if such an instance were to occur, the Company would obtain the tooling inventory. The term of the guarantee will vary from program to program, but typically range up to twenty-four months.
