Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

(Amounts in millions of Canadian dollars, except share-based compensation awards and per share amounts)

1. Nature of operations

MDA Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively "MDA" or the "Company") design, manufacture, and service space robotics, satellite systems and components, and intelligence systems. MDA also provides geointelligence and earth observation solutions that incorporate data from the Company's owned and operated satellite, RADARSAT-2, as well as third party satellite missions. MDA operates across three business areas: Geointelligence, Robotics & Space Operations, and Satellite Systems, with facilities and sites in Canada, the United Kingdom, and United States. The Company collaborates and partners with government agencies, prime contractors and emerging space companies. Notable MDA programs include the Canadarm family of space robotics for the U.S. Space Shuttle program and the International Space Station and three generations of RADARSAT Earth observation satellites for the Canadian Government.

MDA Ltd. is incorporated in Ontario and domiciled in Canada, with its head office located at 9445 Airport Road, Brampton, Ontario L6S4J3, Canada. MDA's common shares are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol "MDA".

2. Basis of preparation

(a) Statement of compliance

These accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). The same accounting policies and methods of computation as those used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 were followed in the preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, except as described in note 3. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of MDA on August 11, 2022.

(b) Basis of measurement

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the Company's functional currency.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for pension plan assets and liabilities and the following assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value: financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"), derivative instruments, and initial recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Pension plan assets and liabilities are recognized as the present value of the defined benefit obligation net of the fair value of the plan assets.

(c) Seasonality and cyclicality

The Company's operations historically have not experienced seasonality. However, the Company's results period over period are affected by its stage in the work in progress in each of its long-term contracts. Therefore, the results of operations over a given interim period may not be indicative of full fiscal year results.

(d) Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of the Company's interim condensed financial statements requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Significant estimates and judgements used in preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are the same as those described in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, which included considerations for the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

3. Changes in accounting policies and new accounting pronouncements

(a) Adoption of Amendment to IAS 37 Onerous Contracts – Costs of Fulfilling a Contract

The Company adopted the amendment to IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, effective January 1, 2022. The amendment clarifies that when measuring an onerous contract provision, the costs relating directly to the contract include both incremental costs and an allocation of costs directly related to contract activities. The Company recognized a cumulative effect of $2.0 upon applying this amendment in the opening retained deficit as at January 1, 2022.

(b) Forthcoming Amendment to IAS 1 Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current

In January 2020, the IASB issued a narrow-scope amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements, which clarifies that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current are based on rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period. The amendment aligns wording in all relevant 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 amendment is effective for the Company on January 1, 2023. The Company is assessing the potential impact of this amendment.

4. Revenue from contracts with customers

All of the Company's revenue represents revenue from contracts with customers. Disaggregation of revenue by types of contracts and by service lines are presented in the tables below:

Three months ended June 30, 2022 Three months ended June 30, 2021 Six months ended June 30, 2022 Six months ended June 30, 2021

Satellite systems 58.9 42.9 96.0 83.0
$ 154.7 $ 126.7 $ 283.1 $ 250.1

5. Geographic information

Segmented information is reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), and reflects the way the CODM evaluates performance of, and allocates resources within, the business. The Company operates substantially all of its activities in one reportable segment, which includes the Geointelligence, Robotics & Space Operations and Satellite Systems operating segments. The reportable segment earns revenue by providing space solutions to customers in a similar market and is managed by the CODM.

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

(Amounts in millions of Canadian dollars, except share-based compensation awards and per share amounts)

11. Long-term debt

June 30, 2022 December 31, 2021
Senior revolving credit facility $ 168.4 $ —
Second lien notes 144.7
$ 168.4 $ 144.7
Current $ — $ —
Non-current $ 168.4 $ 144.7

(a) Senior revolving credit facility

On May 5, 2022, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary NOL, amended its senior revolving credit facility. The available capacity of the senior credit facility was increased from $428.3 to $600.0 and the reducing feature of the available credit was eliminated. The maturity date of the senior credit facility was extended from April 8, 2025 to May 4, 2027. Transaction costs incurred to refinance the credit facility totalled $1.4.

As at June 30, 2022, the Company had borrowings of $170.0 under the senior revolving credit facility in the form of Bankers' Acceptances, which is recorded at a carrying amount of $168.4 on the consolidated statement of financial position. This facility bears interest at the bank's prime rate or alternate base rate Canada plus an applicable margin of 45 to 175 basis points ("bps") or CDOR or LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 145 to 275 bps, based on the Company's total debt to EBITDA ratio. At June 30, 2022, the interest rate on the outstanding Bankers' Acceptances was 3.67%. The Company also had $15.2 letters of credit outstanding at June 30, 2022, bearing an applicable margin of 97 bps plus a fronting fee of 25 bps.

The Company accounted for the refinancing of the senior credit facility as a substantial debt modification under IFRS 9, where the previously existing credit facility was extinguished from the consolidated statement of financial position. The new credit facility was recognized at its fair value. The accounting treatment for the substantial debt modification resulted in a net expense of $4.3 recognized in finance costs in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

(b) Redemption of second lien notes

Concurrent with the amendment of the senior credit facility, on May 5, 2022, the Company exercised its option to redeem all amounts outstanding under the second lien notes using excess cash and drawings under the senior revolving credit facility. On redemption, the Company paid in cash the principal amount of $150.0, and a redemption premium of $7.5 due on exercise of its early redemption rights. The redemption premium was recorded in finance costs in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

The redemption of the second lien notes resulted in an expense of $2.8 upon derecognizing the redemption option derivative as described in note 14, and an expense of $5.1 upon writing off the unamortized deferred financing costs. Both expenses were recorded in finance costs in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

The second lien notes were unsecured and bore interest of 10% per annum in cash, or 12% paid in-kind ("PIK") (6% cash, 6% in-kind). Interest was due semi-annually. The second lien notes would have matured on April 8, 2027, absent the early redemption thereof. The second lien notes were guaranteed by the same guarantors as the senior revolving credit facility and secured by a second lien on the same collateral. All guarantees and securities under the second lien notes were released upon redemption.

(c) Security and guarantees

The senior revolving credit facility is guaranteed by all subsidiaries of NOL (other than certain excluded subsidiaries, including immaterial subsidiaries and non-wholly owned subsidiaries) and secured by all of the present and future assets, property and undertakings of NOL and its subsidiary guarantors, as well as a limited recourse guarantee and pledge of NOL from the Company.

  1. Share-based compensation

In 2021, the Company established an Omnibus Long-term Incentive Plan ("Omnibus Plan"). The Omnibus Plan is a share-based plan, under which the Company receives services from directors and employees as consideration for equity instruments of the Company. The Company can issue stock options, deferred share units ("DSUs"), restricted share units ("RSUs"), and performance share units ("PSUs") pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Omnibus Plan and the related award agreements entered into thereunder.

The Company also has in place an Employee Share Trust Agreement arrangement, where eligible employees are issued shares held in a company trust ("Trustee Shares") and released upon meeting prescribed conditions.

(a) Stock Options

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company has granted stock options with exercise prices between $8.11 and $9.43. The stock options vest over 1 to 4 years in annual instalments. Vesting is conditional on continuous employment from the grant date to the vesting date. The stock options have a maximum term of 10 years.

The stock options are measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the grant date and subsequently expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The amount expensed for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was $0.8 and $1.7 (three and six months ended June 30, 2021 – $1.9 and $5.5).

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

(Amounts in millions of Canadian dollars, except share-based compensation awards and per share amounts)

The weighted average fair value of options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was between $3.54 and $4.24. The fair value of these options granted were estimated on the date of grant using the following assumptions:

Six months ended June 30, 2022
Dividend yield 0.00%
Expected volatility 40.00% - 43.87%
Risk-free interest rate 1.39% - 3.15%
Expected life of share options 5.3 to 7.0 years
Weighted average exercise share price $8.88

The expected life of the stock options is based on current expectations and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility is based on the share price volatility observed for comparable publicly traded companies over a period similar to the life of the options.

(b) Trustee Shares

Trustee Shares vest over 1 to 4 years in annual instalments from the grant date. Vesting is conditional on continuous employment from the grant date to the vesting date and the meeting of specified price targets. The amount expensed for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 is $0.3 and $0.7 (three and six months ended June 30, 2021 – $1.8 and $1.8).

(c) DSUs

The Company offers DSUs to the Company's independent directors, where they are entitled to receive all or a portion of their annual compensation in the form of DSUs in place of cash commencing in 2022. The DSUs vest immediately upon grant and are equity-settled, entitling participants to receive one common share for each DSU. The amount expensed for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 is $0.3 and $0.6 (three and six months ended June 30, 2021 – $nil).

(d) RSUs and PSUs

In the second quarter, the Company granted RSUs and PSUs to eligible employees. The RSUs vest over 1 to 3 years in annual instalments from the grant date. Vesting is conditional on continuous employment from the grant date to the vesting date. The PSUs vest over 3 years from the grant date and is conditional on continuous employment as well as performance targets. The RSUs and PSUs have a maximum term of 10 years. The amount expensed for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was immaterial.

(e) Award units continuity

The table below shows the movement in the number of share-based awards outstanding over the six months ended June 30, 2022:

Stock Options Trustee Shares DSUs RSUs PSUs
As at January 1, 2022 9,066,978 547,292
Granted 260,000 67,182 541,148 219,786
Forfeited/Cancelled (403,597)

14. Financial instruments and fair value disclosures

The classification of financial instruments and their carrying amounts are as follows:

June 30, 2022 December 31, 2021
Financial assets (liabilities) measured at FVTPL
Derivative assets $ 1.8 $ 9.5
Derivative liabilities (0.2) (0.9)
Investment in equity securities 3.0 7.7
Financial assets (liabilities) measured at amortized cost
Cash $ 8.8 $ 83.6
Trade and other receivables 108.8 92.6
Unbilled receivables 100.5 83.7
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (85.5) (71.3)
Long-term debt (168.4) (144.7)

Derivative assets and investment in equity securities are included in other assets on the consolidated statement of financial position, as presented in note 7. Derivative liabilities are included in other liabilities.

The fair values of cash, trade and other receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to their short-term nature. For the other financial instruments presented, the table below shows their respective fair values with their levels in the fair value hierarchy:

As at June 30, 2022 As at December 31, 2021
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Assets
Derivative assets $ — $ 1.8 $ — $ 1.8 $ — $ 1.4 $ 8.1 $ 9.5
Investment in equity securities 3.0 3.0 7.7 7.7
Liabilities
Derivative liabilities $ — $ 0.2 $ — $ 0.2 $ — $ 0.9 $ — $ 0.9
Long-term debt 170.0 170.0 169.6 169.6

Over the six months ended June 30, 2022, no transfers occurred between levels of the fair value hierarchy.

Level 2 derivative instruments comprise foreign exchange embedded derivatives within revenue and purchase contracts. The Company determines fair value of its derivative instruments based on management estimates and observable market-based inputs. Management estimates include assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows. Observable market-based inputs are sourced from third parties and include currency spot and forward rates. Level 2 long-term debt is further described in note 11. The Company determines fair value of the long-term debt based on the present value of future cash flows.

The redemption feature embedded in the second lien notes was classified as a Level 3 security. The fair value is determined using a present value of future cash flows model. A key estimate used in this calculation is the market yield, which is derived from inputs such as corporate bond credit spread and risk free rate. On May 5, 2022, the second lien notes were redeemed as part of the refinancing transaction described in note 11. The redemption feature was fair valued on the redemption date, with the resulting decrease in fair value for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 of $1.1 and $5.3 (three and six months ended June 30, 2021 – gain of $1.8 and loss of $0.2) recognized as an unrealized loss on financial instruments in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

Of these recognized amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, $2.2 and $19.0 are related to expenses incurred in prior years respectively.

As at June 30, 2022, the Company has investment tax credits of $96.9 (December 31, 2021 – $69.5) available to offset future Canadian Federal and Provincial income taxes payable which expire between 2032 and 2042. Investment tax credits are only recognized in the financial statements when the recognition criteria have been met as described in note 3(p) of Company's annual consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2021. Investment tax credits that are expected to be realized within 12 months are classified as current; investment tax credits that are expected to be realized beyond 12 months are classified as non-current.

17. Remeasurement gain on defined benefit plans

A remeasurement of the assets and obligations in the Company's defined benefit pension plans and other post-retirement benefit plans was performed and an actuarial gain of $17.8, net of tax was recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 (three and six months ended June 30, 2021 – $nil) in other comprehensive income. This actuarial gain was primarily due to an increase in the discount rate offset by changes in the fair value of plan assets.
