NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited, all amounts including tabular amounts, are stated in millions of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts and unless otherwise stated)
1. ORGANIZATION
Superior Plus Corp. (“Superior” or the “Company”) is a diversified business corporation, incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act . The registered office is located at Suite 401, 200 Wellington Street West, Toronto, Ontario. Superior’s investment in Superior Plus LP is financed by share capital. Superior is a publicly traded company with its common shares trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the exchange symbol (“SPB”).
These condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on November 9, 2022.
Reportable Operating Segments
Superior reports three distinct segments: the United States Retail Propane Distribution (“U.S. Propane”), Canadian Retail Propane Distribution (“Canadian Propane”) and North American Wholesale Propane Distribution (“Wholesale Propane”). The reportable segments differ from disclosures in prior periods and more closely aligns with how the Chief Operating Decision Maker, Superior’s President and Chief Executive Officer, manages the business and evaluates the business performance following the acquisition of Kiva Energy Inc. (“Kiva”), see Note 5. As a result of the change, the Wholesale Propane segment, previously included in Canadian Propane, was separated as its own reporting segment. Prior period results and disclosures have been conformed to reflect Superior’s existing reportable segments. The U.S. Propane segment distributes propane gas and liquid fuels primarily in the Eastern United States, as well as the Midwest and California to retail customers, including residential and commercial customers. The Canadian Propane segment distributes propane gas and liquid fuels across Canada to retail customers, including residential and commercial customers. The Wholesale Propane segment consists of Superior Gas Liquids, United Liquid Gas Company, Inc., Sheldon United Terminals, LLC and Kiva. The Wholesale Propane segment supplies the majority of the propane gas for the Canadian Propane business, a portion of the propane gas for the U.S. Propane business and also supplies propane and other natural gas liquids to third-party wholesale customers in Canada and the United States (“U.S.”).
In prior years, Superior included its Specialty Chemicals business as an operating segment; however, this segment was divested on April 9, 2021 and its net earnings have been reported as a discontinued operation, see Note 4.
References to Energy Distribution in the notes below refers to the U.S. Propane Distribution, Canadian Propane Distribution and the Wholesale Propane Distribution because of the inherent similarities of the businesses.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
(a) Preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) using accounting policies Superior adopted in its annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2021, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of January 1, 2022 (see 2(d)). The condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis.
The condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the revaluation of certain financial instruments and incorporate the accounts of Superior and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are all entities over which Superior has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The results of subsidiaries are included in Superior’s
Superior Plus Corp.
2022 Third Quarter Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
5
condensed consolidated statements of net earnings (loss) and total comprehensive earnings (loss) from date of acquisition, or in the case of disposals, up to the effective date of disposal. Where Superior’s interest is less than 100 percent, the interest attributable to outside shareholders is reflected in non-controlling interest (“NCI”). A subsidiary of Superior has outstanding cumulative preference shares that are classified as equity and are held by a noncontrolling interest. Superior computes its share of net earnings (loss) after deducting for the dividend entitlement on these NCI on preference shares. The NCI is translated using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period with the foreign exchange translation included in other comprehensive earnings (loss) for the period.
All transactions and balances between Superior and Superior’s subsidiaries are eliminated upon consolidation. The assets and liabilities of Superior’s foreign operations are translated using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive earnings (loss) for the period.
If Superior loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes the related assets (including goodwill), liabilities, noncontrolling interest and other components of equity, while any resultant gain or loss is recognized in earnings or loss. Any investment retained is recognized at fair value.
(b) Reclassification of Comparative Figures
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, Superior adjusted the purchase price allocation for certain acquisitions that were completed in the prior year. As disclosed in Note 5, Superior has restated the condensed consolidated balance sheet as at December 31, 2021 to record the impact of the adjusted purchase allocations as if the accounting for the business combination had been completed at the acquisition date. The condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity, net earnings (loss) and total comprehensive earnings (loss) and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 remain unchanged since the impact of the changes made was not significant to these condensed consolidated financial statements.
Certain of the prior year figures have been restated as a result of Superior’s change in reportable segments, see Notes 1 and 21.
(c) Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of Superior’s condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors deemed reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or where assumptions and estimates are significant to the condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those disclosed in Superior’s 2021 annual consolidated financial statements, except for the following:
COVID-19
The outbreak of the novel strain of the coronavirus in the first quarter of 2020, specifically identified as the COVID19 pandemic, caused governments worldwide to enact emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, caused material disruption to businesses globally. Global equity markets experienced significant volatility and weakness. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. Certain expenses were eligible under the Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy (“CEWS”) program instituted by the Government of Canada. The CEWS program allowed Superior to recover a portion of eligible employee costs incurred, see Note 16. Superior does not expect to make any future claims.

Cap and trade
Superior purchases compliance instruments to satisfy its obligations under the California, Quebec and Nova Scotia cap and trade programs, see Note 10. Liabilities under these programs are first recorded based on compliance instruments purchased for the respective compliance periods and any additional liabilities are based on the future estimated cost to purchase the underlying compliance instruments until those compliance instruments are acquired. Compliance instruments purchased are recorded as intangible assets until they are settled against the corresponding cap and trade payable at the end of each compliance period to which they relate. As at September 30, 2022, Superior has a net liability of approximately $4.8 million which has been estimated based on the future cost of the compliance instruments.
(d) Changes in Accounting Policies and Disclosures
Amendments to IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (“IAS 37”), “Onerous Contracts – Costs of Fulfilling a Contract”
On May 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 37 to specify which costs an entity needs to include when assessing whether a contract is onerous or loss-making. The amendments to IAS 37 apply a “directly related cost approach”. The costs that relate directly to a contract to provide goods or services include both incremental costs (e.g., the costs of direct labour and materials) and an allocation of costs directly related to contract activities (e.g., depreciation of equipment used to fulfil the contract as well as costs of contract management and supervision). General and administrative costs do not relate directly to a contract and are excluded unless they are explicitly chargeable to the counterparty under the contract. These amendments had no significant impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements of Superior.
Reference to the Conceptual Framework – Amendments to IFRS 3, Business Combinations (“IFRS 3”)
The IASB added an exception to the recognition principle of IFRS 3 to avoid the issue of potential “day 2” gains or losses arising for liabilities and contingent liabilities that would be within the scope of IAS 37 or International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) 21, Levies , if incurred separately. At the same time, the IASB decided to clarify existing guidance in IFRS 3 for contingent assets that would not be affected by replacing the reference to the Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements . These amendments had no significant impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements of Superior.
Several amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2022, but do not have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements of Superior.
(e) Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective
Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”), to Clarify Requirements for Classifying Liabilities as Current or Non-current
On January 23, 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 (the “amendments”) to clarify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. More specifically:
-
The amendments specify that the conditions that exist at the end of the reporting period are those which will be used to determine if a right to defer settlement of a liability exists.
-
Management expectations about events after the condensed consolidated balance sheets date, for example, on whether a covenant will be breached, or whether early settlement will take place, are not relevant.
-
The amendments clarify the situations that are considered settlement of a liability.
The new guidance will be effective for annual periods starting on or after January 1, 2023. Superior is monitoring and in the process of assessing the impacts of the amendments on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

2022 Third Quarter Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Amendments to IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (“IAS 8”), to Introduce a Definition of Accounting Estimates
In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 8, in which it introduces a definition of “accounting estimates”. The amendments clarify the distinction between changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting policies and the correction of errors. Also, they clarify how entities use measurement techniques and inputs to develop accounting estimates. The amendments to IAS 8 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 and apply to changes in accounting policies and changes in accounting estimates that occur on or after the start of that period. Earlier application is permitted as long as this fact is disclosed.
The amendments to IAS 8 are not expected to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2, Disclosure of Accounting Policies
In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2, Making Materiality Judgments , in which it provides guidance and examples to help entities apply materiality judgments to accounting policy disclosures. The amendments aim to help entities provide accounting policy disclosures that are more useful by replacing the requirement for entities to disclose their “significant” accounting policies with a requirement to disclose their “material” accounting policies and adding guidance on how entities apply the concept of materiality in making decisions about accounting policy disclosures. The amendments to IAS 1 are applicable for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 with earlier application permitted. Since the amendments to the Practice Statement 2 provide non-mandatory guidance on the application of the definition of material to accounting policy information, an effective date for these amendments is not necessary.
The Company is currently assessing the impact of the amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 to determine the impact they will have on the Company’s accounting policy disclosures.
Amendments to IAS 12, Income taxes (“IAS 12”), Deferred Tax Related to Assets and Liabilities Arising from a Single Transaction
In May 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 12, to require companies to recognize deferred tax on particular transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences. A temporary difference that arises on initial recognition of an asset or liability is not subject to the initial recognition exemption if that transaction gave rise to equal amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences. The amendments to IAS 12 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. Earlier application is permitted.
The Company is currently assessing the impact that the amendments to IAS 12 will have on the Company’s rightof-use assets, lease liabilities and decommissioning obligations.
Superior has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.
3. SEASONALITY OF OPERATIONS
Sales typically peak in the first quarter when approximately one-third of annual propane and other refined fuels sales volumes and gross profits are generated due to the demand in heating from end-use customers. They then decline through the second and third quarters, rising seasonally again in the fourth quarter with heating demand. Similarly, net working capital is typically at seasonal highs during the first and fourth quarters, and normally declines to seasonal lows in the second and third quarters. Net working capital is also significantly influenced by wholesale propane prices and other refined fuels.

For the 12 months ended September 30, 2022, Superior reported gross profit of $1,042.5 million (September 30, 2021 ̶ $908.3 million) and net loss of $162.2 million (September 30, 2021 ̶ $91.3 million net earnings) from continuing operations.
4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On April 9, 2021, Superior completed the previously announced sale of its Specialty Chemicals business for total consideration of $725 million (the “Transaction”). Superior received $600 million in cash proceeds, less a working capital adjustment of $17.0 million and $125 million in the form of a 6% unsecured note (“Vendor Note”). The principal amount of the Vendor Note and accrued and unpaid interest are due on October 9, 2026. The purchase price is subject to adjustment based on the average EBITDA of the business for the three consecutive 12-month periods following the closing date. If the average EBITDA, adjusted to remove the impact of IFRS 16, Leases (“IFRS 16”), is higher than $115 million, the purchase price will be increased by multiplying the difference by 4.5 and the buyer will issue an additional note to Superior, up to a maximum of $100 million, which includes accumulated interest. The note will bear interest at the same rate as the Vendor Note and interest will accrue from the closing date. If the average EBITDA, adjusted to remove the impact of IFRS 16, is lower than $100 million, the purchase price will be decreased by multiplying the difference by 4.5 and a note will be issued by the seller up to a maximum of $100 million, which includes accumulated interest. The note will bear interest at the same rate as the Vendor Note and interest will accrue from the closing date. The fair value of the contingent consideration as at April 9, 2021 was estimated to be a liability of $1.4 million is included on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, as part of other non-current financial liabilities; As at September 30, 2022, the fair value of the contingent consideration is also $1.4 million, see Note 13. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of net earnings (loss) and total comprehensive earnings (loss) as part of the gain (loss) on derivatives and foreign currency translation of borrowings while interest earned on the Vendor Note is recorded net of finance expense; see Notes 13 and 16 of the condensed consolidated financial statements, respectively.
The Transaction included all assets and liabilities Superior held in its Specialty Chemicals operating segment. Management has presented the results of the Specialty Chemicals operating segment as a discontinued operation and no longer presents these results in the Reportable Segments Information note. The consideration received exceeded the carrying amount of the net assets and therefore, no impairment was required to be recorded.
The Vendor Note is included in notes receivable and other investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and includes $10.9 million in accrued interest.

(ii) Kamps Propane, Inc., High Country Propane, Inc., Pick Up Propane, Inc., Competitive Capital, Inc. and Propane Construction and Meter Services (collectively, “Kamps Propane”) and Kiva
The acquisition costs directly attributable to the above acquisitions were expensed and are included in selling, distribution and administrative costs. The goodwill recognized represents the expected synergies from operations and the intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. Goodwill arising on acquisition is deductible for tax purposes unless otherwise noted.
If the 2022 acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2022, revenue and net earnings from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 would have increased by $4.0 million and $0.1 million, and increased by $265.6 million and $18.8 million, respectively.
Unless otherwise stated, the purchase price allocations discussed below are considered preliminary and, as a result, may be adjusted during the 12-month period following the acquisition once all the required information pertaining to the ownership, remaining useful lives and a quantification of tanks, cylinders, vehicles and intangibles is obtained and assessed. Superior has allocated the purchase price to the identified assets and liabilities based on fair value estimates using current information available. The amounts presented are based on their estimated fair value and management expects that any further changes will relate to finalizing the fair value of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill.
Kamps Propane and Kiva
On March 23, 2022, Superior acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of Kamps Propane and Kiva for an aggregate purchase price of approximately C$302 million (US$240 million) before adjustments for working capital of approximately C$29.3 million (US$22.9 million). Goodwill arising on this acquisition has been provisionally allocated between the U.S. Propane segment for $87.2 million and the Wholesale Propane segment for $72.2 million. The goodwill recognized is not deductible for income tax purposes.

Accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, inventories and accrued liabilities changed as a result of updating fair value estimates and reclassifying balances to be consistent with Superior. Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets changed by a net increase of $9.3 million as a result of updating the estimated age, cost and quantity of tanks, vehicles and equipment acquired. Other short and long-term liabilities increased mainly due to the increase in deferred tax liabilities coming primarily from the increase in the property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. As a result of these adjustments, goodwill was decreased by $4.0 million.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, subsequent to the acquisition date, the acquisition contributed:
-
revenue of $21.4 million and net loss of $6.5 million; revenue of $51.1 million and net loss of $10.0 million, respectively, to the U.S. Propane segment inclusive of inter-segment transactions; and

The purchase price allocation was updated during the three months ended September 30, 2022 resulting in an increase to accounts and other payables for $0.3 million and a $0.6 million decrease in total consideration due to finalizing the acquired working capital. These updates resulted in a net decrease in goodwill for $0.3 million.
Subsequent to the acquisition date, the acquisition contributed revenue and net loss of $1.5 million and $nil, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and $3.1 million and $nil, respectively to the U.S. Propane segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Other acquisitions
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company closed three business acquisitions for a total consideration of approximately C$9.1 million (US$6.9 million) before working capital adjustments. Goodwill arising on these acquisitions form part of the U.S. Propane segment.
Two out of the three purchase price allocations were finalized during the three months ended September 30, 2022, resulting in a decrease to intangible assets by $0.7 million primarily due to updating the estimated fair value of customer relationships, an increase in property, plant and equipment by $0.9 million due to adjustments to customer tanks, accounts receivable decreased by $0.1 million and consideration increased by $0.2 million due to finalizing working capital. These changes resulted in a $0.1 million increase to goodwill.

Hopkins Propane (“Hopkins”) and Mountain Energy Gas (“Mountain Energy”)
Superior finalized the purchase price allocations for Hopkins and Mountain Energy during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. As a result, adjustments were made only to the purchase price allocation of Hopkins and no change for Mountain Energy’s purchase price allocation. The balances for Hopkin’s intangible assets, goodwill and trade and other payables as at December 31, 2021 were restated accordingly. Intangible assets increased by $0.4 million primarily due to updating the estimated fair value of customer relationships and cash paid on acquisition increased by $1.7 million due to adjustments to working capital.

Superior is subject to various claims and potential claims in the normal course of business, but the Company does not expect the ultimate settlement of any of these to have a material effect on its financial results. The outcomes of all the proceedings and claims against Superior are subject to future resolution that includes the uncertainties of litigation. It is not possible for Superior to predict the result or magnitude of the claims due to the various factors and uncertainties involved in the legal process. Based on information currently known to Superior, it is not probable that the ultimate resolution of any proceedings and claims, individually or in total, will have a material effect on the condensed consolidated statements of net earnings (loss) and total comprehensive earnings (loss) or condensed consolidated balance sheets. If it becomes probable that Superior is liable, Superior will record a provision in the period the change in probability occurs, and the resulting impact could be material to the condensed consolidated statements of net earnings (loss) and total comprehensive earnings (loss) or condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(1) As at September 30, 2022, Superior had $22.3 million of outstanding letters of credit (December 31, 2021 – $30.1 million) and $369.8 million of outstanding financial guarantees on behalf of its businesses (December 31, 2021 – $325.8 million). The fair value of Superior’s revolving term bank credit facilities, other debt, letters of credit, and financial guarantees approximates their carrying value as a result of the market-based interest rates and the short-term nature of the underlying debt instruments. On June 6, 2022, Superior amended the syndicated credit facility and extended the maturity to June 6, 2027, with no change to the financial covenants. The credit facilities are secured by substantially all of the assets of Superior. The lender commitments remain at $750.0 million and can be increased to $1,050.0 million on condition that no event of default has occurred and lender consent is provided. Superior also replaced the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as the benchmark interest rate for the U.S. tranche of the syndicated credit facility in accordance with the amendment.

(2) On March 11, 2021, Superior’s subsidiaries, Superior Plus LP and Superior General Partner Inc., issued at par US$600 million of 4.5% senior unsecured notes due March 15, 2029, and redeemed in full Superior’s US$350 million senior unsecured notes at a redemption price of 107.444% plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, but excluding the redemption date. The fair value of the outstanding US$600 million senior unsecured notes is $687.0 million (December 31, 2021 – $779.7 million) based on prevailing market prices. Upon redemption of the US$350 million senior unsecured note, a net foreign exchange translation gain of $5.8 million was recognized, see Note 13. There was an unrealized foreign exchange translation loss on the US$600 million senior unsecured note of $57.3 million and $71.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 – $16.9 million and $7.1 million loss, respectively).
-
(3) On May 18, 2021, Superior’s wholly owned subsidiary, Superior Plus LP, has completed a private placement of CDN$500 million of 4.25% senior unsecured notes, at par value, due May 18, 2028, which are guaranteed by Superior and certain of its subsidiaries. The proceeds from the notes issuance along with borrowing under its credit facility and cash on hand were used to redeem the CDN$400 million of 5.25% senior unsecured notes and the CDN $370 million of 5.125% senior unsecured notes, at the respective prescribed rates in their indentures along with accrued and unpaid interest. The fair value of the 4.25% senior unsecured note based on prevailing market rates is $438.5 million (December 31, 2021 – $503.4 million).
-
(4) Other term loans were assumed by Superior as part of the acquisition of Kamps Propane consisting of $1.9 million (US$1.4 million) in term bank loans bearing interest at 3.99% to 5.50% due between 2023 and 2025, and $6.3 million (US$4.6 million) in other term loans bearing interest at 2.0% to 6.5% due between 2026 to 2031.

13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
IFRS requires disclosure around fair value and specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect Superior’s market assumptions. These two types of input create the following fair value hierarchy:
-
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.
-
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.
-
Level 3 – Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair values are determined by reference to quoted bid or ask prices, as appropriate, in the most advantageous active market for that instrument to which Superior has immediate access (Level 1). Where bid and ask prices are unavailable, Superior uses the closing

price of the instrument’s most recent transaction. In the absence of an active market, Superior estimates fair values based on prevailing market rates (bid and ask prices, as appropriate) for instruments with similar characteristics and risk profiles or internal or external valuation models, such as discounted cash flow analysis using, to the extent possible, observable market-based inputs (Level 2). Superior uses internally developed methodologies and unobservable inputs to determine the fair value of some financial instruments when required (Level 3).
Fair values determined using valuation models require assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and discount rates. In determining those assumptions, Superior looks primarily to available readily observable external market inputs including forecast commodity price curves, interest rate yield curves, currency rates and price and rate volatilities as applicable.
All financial and non-financial derivatives are designated as fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) upon their initial recognition.
For items that are recognized at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing their classification at the end of each reporting period. During the three and nine months ended September 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.

The following summarizes Superior’s classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities:
| Classification | Measurement | |
|---|---|---|
| Financial assets | ||
| Cash and cash equivalents | Loans and receivables | Amortized cost |
| Trade and other receivables | Loans and receivables | Amortized cost |
| Derivative assets, including contingent consideration | FVTPL | Fair value |
| Notes receivable | Loans and receivables | Amortized cost |
| Financial liabilities | ||
| Trade and other payables | Other liabilities | Amortized cost |
| Dividends payable | Other liabilities | Amortized cost |
| Borrowings | Other liabilities | Amortized cost |
| Derivative liabilities, including contingent | ||
| consideration | FVTPL | Fair value |
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, dividends payable and revolving term bank credit facilities disclosed in Note 11 correspond to the respective carrying amounts due to their short-term nature and/or the interest rate on the asset is commensurate with market interest rates for the type of asset with similar duration and credit risk. The fair value of senior unsecured notes disclosed in Note 11 are determined by quoted market prices (Level 2 fair value hierarchy). The fair value of the notes receivable is approximately $103.3 million based on changes in market interest rates commensurate with this type of asset with a similar duration and credit risk. This estimate is subject to change and will be updated as new information becomes available (Level 3 fair value hierarchy).
Offsetting of Financial Instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets when Superior has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. In the normal course of business, Superior enters into various master netting agreements or other similar arrangements that do not meet the criteria for offsetting, but do, however, still allow for the related amount to be set off in certain circumstances, such as bankruptcy or the termination of contracts. As at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Superior has not recorded any amount against other current and non-current financial assets and liabilities.
Financial Instruments – Risk Management
Market Risk
Financial derivatives and non-financial derivatives are used by Superior to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. Superior assesses the inherent risks of these instruments by grouping financial and non-financial derivatives according to the exposures these instruments mitigate. Superior’s policy is not to use financial derivative or non-financial derivative instruments for speculative purposes. Superior does not formally designate its derivatives as hedges and, as a result, Superior does not apply hedge accounting and is required to designate its financial derivatives and non-financial derivatives as held for trading.
Energy Distribution enters into various propane forward purchase and sale agreements to manage the economic exposure of its wholesale customer supply contracts. Energy Distribution monitors its fixed-price propane positions on a daily basis to monitor compliance with established risk management policies. Energy Distribution maintains a substantially balanced fixed-price propane position in relation to its wholesale customer supply commitments.
Superior, on behalf of its operating divisions, enters into foreign currency forward contracts to manage the economic exposure of its operations to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Energy Distribution contracts a portion
Superior Plus Corp.
2022 Third Quarter Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
22
of its fixed-price natural gas, and propane purchases and sales in U.S. dollars and enters into forward U.S. dollar purchase contracts to create an effective Canadian dollar fixed-price purchase cost. Superior enters into U.S. dollar forward sales contracts on an ongoing basis to mitigate the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on sales margins on production from its Canadian plants that is sold in U.S. dollars. Interest expense on Superior’s U.S. dollar debt is also used to mitigate the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations.
Superior manages its overall liquidity risk in relation to its general funding requirements by utilizing a mix of shortterm and long-term debt instruments. Superior reviews its mix of short-term and long-term debt instruments on an ongoing basis to ensure it is able to meet its liquidity requirements.
Credit Risk
Superior utilizes a variety of counterparties in relation to its financial derivative and non-financial derivative instruments in order to mitigate its counterparty risk. Superior assesses the creditworthiness of its significant counterparties at the inception and throughout the term of a contract. Superior is also exposed to customer credit risk. Energy Distribution deals with a large number of small customers, thereby reducing this risk. Energy Distribution actively monitors the creditworthiness of its commercial customers. Overall, Superior’s credit quality is enhanced by its portfolio of customers, which is diversified across geographical (primarily Canada and the U.S.) and end-use (primarily commercial, residential and industrial) markets.
Allowances for doubtful accounts and past due receivables are reviewed by Superior as at each condensed consolidated balance sheet date. Superior updates its estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts based on the evaluation of the recoverability of trade and other receivables with each customer, considering historical collection trends of past due accounts, current economic conditions and future forecasts. Trade and other receivables are written off once it is determined they are uncollectible.
As part of the material terms of the divestiture disclosed in Note 4, a Vendor Note of $125 million was issued by the buyer. Its principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest are due in October 2026. The collectability of the amounts owed to Superior is subject to the going concern of the buyer. As at September 30, 2022, Superior does not have any concerns about the financial strength of the buyer. Superior will continuously monitor the credit risk associated with this Vendor Note. Based on the valuation as at September 30, 2022, Superior has estimated a liability of $1.4 million (December 31, 2021 – $2.0 million) related to this contingent consideration. The fair value has been calculated based on an estimate of the EBITDA during the thirty-six months subsequent to the divestiture. If Superior’s EBITDA assumptions used to value the contingent consideration were increased by 5% or decreased by 5% the fair value would increase by approximately $2.2 million (September 30, 2021 – $3.7 million) and decrease by approximately $5.3 million (September 30, 2021 – $5.6 million), respectively. This estimate is subject to change and will be updated as new information becomes available.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that Superior cannot meet a demand for cash or fund an obligation as it comes due. Liquidity risk also includes the risk of not being able to liquidate assets in a timely manner at a reasonable price.
To ensure it is able to react to contingencies and investment opportunities quickly, Superior maintains sources of liquidity at the corporate and subsidiary levels. The main sources of liquidity are cash and other financial assets, the undrawn committed revolving term bank credit facilities, equity markets and debenture markets.
Superior is subject to the risks associated with debt financing, including the ability to refinance indebtedness at maturity. Superior believes these risks are mitigated through the use of long-term debt secured by high quality assets, maintaining debt levels that in management’s opinion are appropriate, and by diversifying maturities over an extended period. Superior also seeks to include in its agreements terms that protect it from liquidity issues of counterparties that might otherwise affect liquidity.

Equity Price Risk
Equity price risk is the risk of volatility in earnings as a result of volatility in Superior’s share price. Superior has equity price risk exposure to shares that it issues under various forms of share-based compensation programs, which affect earnings when outstanding units are revalued at the end of each reporting period. Superior uses equity derivatives to manage volatility derived from its share-based compensation program.
As at September 30, 2022, Superior estimates that a 10% increase in its share price would have resulted in a $1.8 million increase in earnings due to the revaluation of equity derivative contracts.
Superior’s contractual obligations associated with its financial liabilities for the periods from October 1 to September 30th of the respective years are as follows:
| October 1 to | October 1 to | September 30 | September 30 | |||||

(i)USD/CAD call options expire in varying maturity dates between January 2023 and October 2024 with strike rates ranging from $1.325 to $1.47.
Superior’s contractual obligations are considered normal operating commitments and do not include the impact of mark-to-market fair values on financial and non-financial derivatives. Superior expects to fund these obligations through a combination of cash flows from operations, proceeds on revolving term bank credit facilities and proceeds on the issuance of share capital. Superior’s financial instruments’ sensitivities are consistent as at September 30, 2022 and 2021.
14. INCOME TAXES
Consistent with prior periods, Superior recognizes a provision for income taxes for its subsidiaries that are subject to current and deferred income taxes, including Canadian, U.S., Hungary and Luxembourg income taxes.
Total income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, composed of current income taxes of $1.6 million and $5.1 million and deferred income tax recovery of $60.7 million and $52.6 million, respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 – total income tax recovery consisting of current income tax expense of $1.3 million and $8.3 million, respectively and deferred income tax recovery of $16.5 million and $9.9 million, respectively) with a corresponding total net deferred income tax liability of $90.0 million as at September 30, 2022 (December 31, 2021 – total net deferred income tax liability of $90.9 million).

On April 6, 2022, Superior closed its previously announced bought deal equity offering of 25,670,300 common shares (“Shares”) at a price of $11.20 per Share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $287.5 million (the “Offering”) with the issue costs of $9.2 million and net of a deferred tax recovery of $2.3 million. The Offering included 3,348,300 Shares issued pursuant to the exercise in full by the underwriters of their over-allotment option. The Offering was sold on a bought deal basis to a syndicate of underwriters and was made under Superior’s short form base shelf prospectus dated May 25, 2021. The terms of the Offering are described in a prospectus supplement dated March 30, 2022, which was filed with securities regulators in each of the provinces and territories of Canada. Superior used the net proceeds of the Offering to reduce existing indebtedness under the revolving credit facility.
Preferred Shares of Superior Plus US Holdings (the “Preferred Shares”)
The Preferred Shares issued by Superior’s subsidiary entitle the holders to a cumulative dividend of 7.25% per annum through to the end of Superior’s second fiscal quarter in 2027. If dividends are paid on the common shares, Superior is required to pay the dividend in cash on the Preferred Shares; otherwise, the Preferred Share dividends can be paid or accrued at Superior’s option. In the event that Superior declares a dividend on its common shares in excess of $0.06 per month, the holders of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled to an equivalent amount. Superior has the option to redeem all, but not less than all, the Preferred Shares at a date that is seven years after the issue date with not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to the holders of the Preferred Shares. The Preferred Shares can be redeemed at US$1,000 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends. If Superior does not redeem the Preferred Shares, the dividend rate increases by 0.75% per annum for the next four years to a maximum of 10.25%. If the dividends are not paid in cash, the cumulative dividend increases by 1.0% per annum to a maximum of 14.25%.
The Preferred Shares may be exchanged, at the holder’s option, into 30 million common shares of Superior (“Common Shares”) or at Superior’s option, on or after the third anniversary of the issue date if the volume-weighted average price of Superior’s Common Shares during the then preceding 30 consecutive trading day period, converted to U.S. dollars at the applicable exchange rate, must be greater than 145% of the exchange price. On an as-exchanged basis, the investment currently represents approximately 13% of the diluted outstanding Common Shares. The exchange price of the Preferred Shares will be subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with the terms
Superior Plus Corp.
2022 Third Quarter Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
25
of the Preferred Shares. These potential adjustments relate primarily to accrued and unpaid dividends, increase in or additional dividends to common shareholders, in instances where there is a share split, share consolidation or a reorganization, the participation rate on the dividend reinvestment plan is greater than 35% and if Common Shares are issued below market value.
Holders of Preferred Shares will be entitled to vote on an as-exchanged basis for all matters on which holders of Superior’s Common Shares vote, and to the greatest extent possible, will vote with the holders of Common Shares as a single class.
In the event of any liquidation, winding up or dissolution of Superior, the holders of Preferred Shares are entitled to receive prior, and in preference to, any distribution to the holders of Common Shares, an amount equal to the greater of a liquidation rate per share of US$1,400 plus accrued and unpaid dividends or the amount receivable had the Preferred Shares been converted to Common Shares immediately prior to the liquidation event. In the event that upon liquidation or dissolution, the assets and funds of Superior are insufficient to permit the payment to the holders of Preferred Shares of the full preferential amounts, then the entire assets and funds of Superior legally available for distribution are to be distributed ratably among the holders of Preferred Shares in proportion to the full preferential amount each is otherwise entitled to receive. After the distributions described above have been paid in full, the remaining assets of Superior available for distribution shall be distributed pro-rata to the holders of Common Shares.
Dividends declared to preferred shareholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were US$4.7 million (C$6.2 million) or US$18.1 (C$23.7) per Preferred Share and US$14.1 million (C$18.1 million) or US$54.4 (C$69.8) per Preferred Share, respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 – US$4.7 million (C$6.2 million) or US$18.1 (C$23.8) per Preferred Share and US$14.1 million (C$17.9 million) or US$54.4 (C$68.9) per Preferred Share, respectively).

(iii) Included in revenue from products is the sale of carbon credit of $nil and $1.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 – $4.7 million and $9.0 million, respectively).
17. GOVERNMENT GRANT
In response to COVID-19, the Government of Canada implemented the Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy (“CEWS”) program. The CEWS program offers qualifying organizations government assistance in the form of a payroll subsidy to offset the cost of employees. The payroll subsidy was recognized as an offset to salary expense. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, Superior recorded $nil and $2.2 million, respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 – $8.6 million and $21.7 million, respectively) as a reduction to selling, distribution and administration costs and $nil related to discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 (three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 – $nil and $1.4 million).
There are no unfulfilled conditions attached to this government assistance.

Superior uses the two-class method to compute net earnings (loss) per common share attributable to common shareholders because Superior’s Preferred Shares are participating equity securities. For the purpose of computing earnings per share the Preferred Shares are considered participating because they contractually entitle the holders to participate in dividends with ordinary shares according to a predetermined formula (Note 15). The two-class method requires earnings for the period to be allocated between common shares and Preferred Shares based upon their respective rights to receive distributed and undistributed earnings.
Superior Plus Corp.
2022 Third Quarter Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Under the two-class method, the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed as follows:
-
a) earnings or loss attributable to Superior’s common shareholders is adjusted (earnings reduced and a loss increased) by the amount of dividends declared in the period for each class of shares and by the contractual amount of dividends that must be paid for the period.
-
b) the remaining earnings or loss is allocated to Superior’s common shares and participating equity instruments to the extent that each instrument shares in earnings as if all of the earnings or loss for the period had been distributed. The total earnings or loss allocated to each class of equity instrument is determined by adding together the amount allocated for dividends and the amount allocated for a participation feature.
-
c) the total amount of earnings or loss allocated to each class of equity instrument is divided by the weightedaverage number of outstanding instruments (and dilutive potential common shares for diluted earnings per share) to which the earnings are allocated to determine the earnings (loss) per share for the instrument.
No such adjustment to earnings is made during periods with a net loss, as the holders of the Preferred Shares have no obligation to fund losses. The two-class equity method is performed in each period presented in reference to that period’s earnings or loss. Consequently, the sum of the four quarters’ earnings (loss) per share data will not necessarily equal the annual earnings (loss) per share data.

23. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 3, 2022, Superior acquired the propane distribution assets of Mountain Flame Gas (“Mountain Flame”), a residential, commercial and retail propane supplier and distributor in California for an aggregate purchase price of approximately C$10.0 million (US$7.4 million) before adjustments for working capital.
On October 11, 2022, the TSX accepted Superior’s notice of intention to establish a new normal course issuer bid program (the “NCIB”). The NCIB permits the purchase of up to 10.1 million shares of Superior’s common shares, representing approximately 5% of the issued and outstanding common shares as of September 30, 2022, by way of normal course purchases effected through the facilities of the TSX and/or alternative Canadian trading systems. The NCIB commenced on October 13, 2022 and will terminate on October 13, 2023, or on such earlier date as Superior may complete its purchases pursuant to the notice of intention filed with the TSX in respect of the NCIB. Any common shares purchased by Superior will be cancelled. Purchases are made by Superior in accordance with the requirements of the TSX and the price which Superior pays for any such common shares will be the market price of any such common shares at the time of acquisition, or such other price as may be permitted by the TSX. For purposes of the TSX rules, a maximum of 123,619 common shares may be purchased by Superior on any one day under the bid, except where purchases are made in accordance with the “block purchase exception” of the TSX rules. On October 13, 2022, Superior also entered into an automatic share purchase plan in connection with the NCIB.
On November 9, 2022, Superior acquired the assets of McRobert Fuels (“McRobert”) a retail propane and distillates distributor located in Strathroy, Ontario for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $16.0 million before final adjustments for working capital.
