Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2017 and 2016

Independent Auditor’s Report

 

To the Unitholders of
Master Titan Holdings LP

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Master Titan Holdings LP and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, of changes in partners’ equity and of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the period from incorporation on March 18, 2016 to December 31, 2016, which, as described in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, have been prepared on the basis of International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

 

Management’s responsibility for the consolidated financial statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board; this includes the design, implementation and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditor’s responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of significant accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Master Titan Holdings LP and its subsidiaries as at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and the results of operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the period from incorporation on March 18, 2016 to December 31, 2016 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Master Titan Holdings LP

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2017 and 2016

 

·                      Basis of consolidation

 

·                       Subsidiaries

 

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Company has the power over the investee, is exposed or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect these returns through its power over the investee. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company and de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

 

·                       Intercompany transactions

 

Intercompany balances, unrealized gains and losses, and income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

 

·                      Foreign currency translation

 

The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries and the presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements is the Canadian dollar.

 

·                       Foreign currency transactions

 

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction.

 

·                      Financial assets

 

·                       Classification

 

The Company classifies its financial assets into the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, and available-for-sale. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.

 

·                       Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

 

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held-for-trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are also categorized as held-for-trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if expected to be settled within 12 months, otherwise they are classified as non-current.

Master Titan Holdings LP

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2017 and 2016

 

·                       Loans and receivables

 

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These financial assets are classified as non-current assets.

 

·                       Available-for-sale financial assets.

 

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless the investment matures or management intends to dispose of it within 12 months of the end of the reporting period.

 

As at December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company only had loans and receivables.

 

·                       Offsetting financial instruments

 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the consolidated statements of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

 

·                       Trade and other accounts receivable

 

Accounts receivable consist of amounts due from customers from product sales in the normal course of business. Trade receivables are carried at amounts due, net of a provision for amounts estimated to be uncollectible.

 

·                       Cash

 

Cash comprises cash balances and demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

 

·                      Inventories

 

Inventories are mainly comprised of goods held for resale. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is calculated on a weighted average basis, including freight-in costs (where applicable), net of any purchase rebates. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Cost of sales represents the cost of inventory recognized as an expense during the period.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2017 and 2016

 

·                      Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

 

The useful lives of property and equipment are reviewed at least annually and the depreciation charge is adjusted for prospectively. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives as follows:

 

Vehicles and trucks

 

30% - 40% declining balance

Furniture and fixtures

 

8% - 20% declining balance

Buildings

 

4% declining balance

Machinery and equipment

 

30% declining balance

Leasehold improvements

 

straight-line over the term of the lease

 

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized within other income and other expenses in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

 

·                      Goodwill and intangible assets

 

·                       Goodwill

 

All business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method. Under this method, the purchase price is allocated to assets acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed (the net assets), based on their estimated fair values as at the acquisition date. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired is allocated to goodwill.

 

Goodwill is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is allocated to cash generating units (CGUs) or group of CGUs, which corresponds to the level at which goodwill is internally monitored. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually or as soon as there is an indication the CGU may be impaired.

 

The carrying value of goodwill CGU is compared to the recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and the fair value less costs to sell. Any impairment is recognized immediately as an expense and is not subsequently reversed.

Master Titan Holdings LP

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2017 and 2016

 

·                       Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets other than goodwill are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses (see note 10).

 

Identifiable intangible assets existing at the date of acquisition in a business combination are recognized as part of the purchase accounting and are measured at fair value. Intangible assets are considered identifiable if they arise from contractual or legal rights or are separable and are amortized over the life of the legal right.

 

Customer relationships and customer contracts are recognized when the acquired entity establishes relationships with key customers through contracts. Customer relationships and customer contracts are measured using an excess profit method and are amortized over their estimated useful lives of seven and five years, respectively, on a straight-line basis.

 

Brands are recognized when the acquired entity has words, names, symbols, devices or a combination thereof, used by the Company to distinguish them from those manufactured or sold by others. Brands are measured using the excess savings from owning the rights and are amortized over their estimated useful lives of five years on a straight-line basis.

 

In accordance with IFRS, for the purposes of assessing the impairment of property, plant and equipment, management has identified CGUs based on the smallest group of assets that are capable of generating largely independent cash inflows. CGUs have been identified to be those based on operating divisions.

 

·                       Calculation of the recoverable amount

 

The recoverable amount of non-financial assets or CGUs is the greater of their fair value less costs to sell and the value in use. In assessing fair value, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate before tax that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash flows, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs. The Company performs impairment tests of goodwill at the division level, which represents the lowest level within the entity at which operations are monitored by management for the purpose of measuring the return on investment.

 

·                      Financial liabilities

 

·                       Long-term debt

 

Long-term debt is recognized initially at fair value less associated financing fees. Subsequent to initial recognition, long-term debt is stated at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within 12 months. Otherwise, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

·                       Financing fees

 

Financing fees are incremental costs that are directly associated with the issuance of the financial liability. Financing fees include costs and commissions paid to agents and advisers.

 

·                      Recognition of contingent consideration

 

The Company recognizes the fair value of contingent consideration relating to its business acquisitions at the date the transaction closes. When the consideration is subject to the financial performance of the business being acquired, the Company revalues the contingent consideration liabilities at each subsequent reporting date and on settlement. Consideration that is earned by the former shareholders outside of the financial performance of the business or tied to vesting periods are recorded as earned and are included in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The contingent shares are either issued in escrow and subsequently released to the counterparty, or are issued at a later date, and the amount varies based on the business being acquired achieving predetermined earnings targets over a specified period.

 

Contingent consideration for certain businesses acquired are issued in LP units at the date of acquisition and subsequently settled in either equity or cash, depending on the agreement, when the contingency is resolved.

 

Subsequent changes in fair value between reporting periods are included in the determination of net income. Shares issued or released from escrow in the final settlement of contingent consideration are recognized in share capital at their fair value at the time of issue or release with a corresponding reduction in the contingent consideration liability. The current portion of contingent consideration is based on the Company’s estimate of the value that will be payable within 12 months.

 

·       Revenue

 

Revenue arising from the sale of goods is presented in net sales in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Sales are recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, which usually occurs with shipment of the product.

 

Sales are recognized net of sales rebates and discounts.

 

The Company may, from time to time, enter into direct sales (as opposed to warehouse sales) whereby the product is sent directly from the supplier to the customer without any physical transfer to and from the Company’s warehouse. The Company is acting as principal in this relationship and bears the credit risk associated with the sales, and therefore recognizes the gross amount of the sale transaction. Sales are recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, which usually occurs with shipment of the product.

·                      Income taxes

 

The Company, as a limited partnership, is not subject to income taxes. The taxable income or loss of the partnership is allocated to the partners for tax purposes.

 

·                      Partnership distributions

 

The Company makes distributions to its partners, subject to certain restrictions within its credit agreement, such as remaining within certain financial covenants.

 

·       Reclassification of comparative period presentation

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations, only classifications of certain operating expenses.

 

2                      Accounting standards and interpretations not yet in effect

 

A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2017, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements.

 

IFRS 9, Financial Instruments

 

IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (IFRS 9), was issued by the IASB in July 2014 and will replace International Accounting Standard (IAS) 39, Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 introduces a model for classification and measurement, a single, forward-looking expected loss impairment model and a substantially reformed approach to hedge accounting. The new single principle based approach for determining the classification of financial assets is driven by cash flow characteristics and the business model in which an asset is held. The new model also results in a single impairment model being applied to all financial instruments, which will require more timely recognition of expected credit losses. It also includes changes in respect of own credit risk in measuring liabilities elected to be measured at fair value, so that gains caused by the deterioration of an entity’s own credit risk on such liabilities are no longer recognized in profit or loss. The standard is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is still evaluating the effect of this standard.

 

IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers

 

IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (IFRS 15), deals with revenue recognition and establishes principles for reporting useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a good or service and thus has the ability to direct the use and obtain the benefits from the good or service. The standard replaces IAS 18, Revenue, and IAS 11, Construction Contracts, and related interpretations. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after

 

7



 

Master Titan Holdings LP

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2017 and 2016

 

January 1, 2018 and earlier application is permitted. Based on the Company’s contracts and the products it sells, it is estimated that the standard will have no significant impact on the recognition of net sales.

 

IFRS 16, Leases

 

The IASB published a new standard, IFRS 16, Leases (IFRS 16), on January 15, 2016. The new standard brings most leases on-balance sheet for lessees under a single model, eliminating the distinction between operating and finance leases. Lessor accounting however remains largely unchanged and the distinction between operating and finance leases is retained. IFRS 16 supersedes IAS 17, Leases, and related interpretations, and is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with earlier adoption permitted if IFRS 15 has also been applied. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of the new standard.

 

3       Critical accounting estimates and judgments

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments in applying the Company’s accounting policies that affect the reported amounts and disclosures made in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

 

Within the context of these consolidated financial statements, a judgment is a decision made by management in respect of the application of an accounting policy, a recognized or unrecognized financial statement amount and/or note disclosure, following an analysis of relevant information that may include estimates and assumptions. Estimates and assumptions are used mainly in determining the measurement of balances recognized or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and are based on a set of underlying data that may include management’s historical experience, knowledge of current events and conditions and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management continually evaluates the estimates and judgments it uses.

 

The following are the accounting policies subject to judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty that the Company believes could have the most significant impact on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in note 2.

 

Consolidation

 

The Company uses judgment in determining the entities that it controls and therefore consolidates. The Company controls an entity when the Company has the existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the activities that significantly affect the entity’s returns. The Company consolidates all of its wholly owned subsidiaries. Judgment is applied in determining whether the Company controls the entities in which it does not have ownership rights or does not have full ownership rights. Most often, judgment involves reviewing contractual rights to determine if rights are participating (giving power over the entity) or protective rights (protecting the Company’s interest without giving it power).

Impairment of non-financial assets (goodwill, intangible assets and fixed assets)

 

Management is required to use judgment in determining the grouping of assets to identify their CGUs for the purposes of testing fixed assets for impairment. Judgment is further required to determine appropriate groupings of CGUs, for the level at which goodwill and intangible assets are tested for impairment. In addition, judgment is used to determine whether a triggering event has occurred requiring an impairment test to be completed.

 

For the annual impairment tests of goodwill, the following table summarizes the critical assumptions that were used in estimating the recoverable amount, which was based on fair value less cost of disposal, using discounted cash flows for the various entities:

 

Assumptions

 

Range

 

 

 

 

 

Terminal growth factor

 

2.0% to 3.0%

 

Estimated average revenue growth rate

 

6.0% to 8.0%

 

Discount rate

 

8.9% to 12.5%

 

 

The recoverable amount of CGUs is mostly sensitive to the discount rate used. The discount rate was determined on the basis of the weighted average cost of capital calculated for the Company. The weighted average cost of capital reflects the time value of money and the risk specific to the asset for which cash flow projections have not already been adjusted, considering the financial structure and financing conditions of an average market participant.

 

Contingent consideration

 

Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration that is classified as a liability is remeasured at subsequent reporting dates in accordance with IAS 39 and IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, as appropriate. The remeasured liability is based on management’s best assessment of the related inputs used in the valuation models, such as future cash flows and discount rates. Future performance results that differ from management’s estimates could result in changes to liabilities recorded, which are recorded as they arise through profit or loss.

 

4                           Business combinations

 

a)                  On May 31, 2017, the Company acquired certain net assets of Dodd’s Lumber (the Dodd’s acquisition), which included primarily the land, building and other fixed assets, as well as certain working capital balances. For accounting purposes, the Dodd’s acquisition was considered a business under IFRS 3, Business Combinations. As a result, the transaction has been accounted for as a business combination. Transaction costs incurred by the Company related to the transaction have been expensed.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2017 and 2016

 

The Company accounted for the Dodd’s acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, the Company allocates the purchase price to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values at the date of acquisition, with the excess of the purchase price amount being allocated to goodwill. The values of the net assets acquired, which is based on management’s estimate of fair value, and consideration given, are as follows:

 

 

 

$

 

Accounts receivable

 

2,582,000

 

Inventory

 

2,374,000

 

Fixed assets

 

4,800,000

 

Goodwill

 

1,244,000

 

 

 

 

 

Total cash consideration paid

 

11,000,000

 

 

Transaction costs of $166,994 were incurred in relation to the Dodd’s acquisition and expensed in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

 

b)                  On April 29, 2016, the Company acquired the net assets of six entities (the initial acquisition), Watson Building Supplies Incorporated, Slegg Building Materials Limited, Shoemaker Drywall Supplies (A Partnership), BC Ceiling Systems Limited, Canadian Acoustical Ceiling Supply Limited and Core Acoustics Limited (collectively the Sellers).

 

Under the terms of the agreement, the Sellers received 57,537,333 of Class A-2 units, 11,040,000 Class B-1 units and 11,040,000 Class B-2 units, cash payment of $267,459,732, contingent consideration at a fair value of $42,826,453 and deferred consideration at a fair value of $2,364,000.

(i)                  During the year, the Company paid $9,275,171 related to the inventory payout for Shoemaker and Slegg.

 

During the year, as a result of the expectation of achieving certain targets, the fair value of certain contingent consideration increased by $5,573,032 and was accrued in the current period.

 

In addition, the Company is obligated to pay additional consideration (contingent payments) not included in the total consideration above to certain former shareholders based on defined criteria. The Company is obligated to pay the following contingent payments:

 

·                       The Company is obligated to additional consideration if the average of certain operating results for the Shoemaker business for the period from April 29, 2016 to April 28, 2020 exceeds defined thresholds. The contingent payments vary based on the achieved result to a maximum of $60,000,000 payable April 28, 2020. As the obligation to pay the contingent payment is conditional on the continued employment of the former shareholder who is also a key executive, the amounts accrued are recorded as period expenses. The amount accrued in the current period is $17,763,380 (2016 - $5,953,619).

 

·                       The Company is also obligated to additional consideration if the cumulative sales for the period from April 29, 2016 to April 28, 2019 and sales for the period from April 29, 2019 to April 28, 2020 to certain former shareholders of Watson exceed defined thresholds. The contingent payments vary based on the achieved sales targets to a maximum of $22,500,000 payable on April 29, 2019 and a further $17,500,000 payable on April 29, 2020. As the obligation to pay these contingent payments is conditional on meeting certain volumes purchased by the former shareholder, the amounts accrued are recorded as period expenses. The amount accrued in the current period is $9,711,937 (2016 - $4,750,280).

Goodwill

 

As described in note 1, goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually, or at any time if an indicator of impairment exists. Key assumptions used in recoverable amount computations are described in note 3.

 

As at December 31, 2017, goodwill was tested for impairment as described above and the calculations did not evidence any impairment as the recoverable amount of the CGUs exceeded their carrying amount by a substantial amount.

On April 29, 2016, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders for senior debt financing. The credit agreement provided for a five-year $122,600,000 term loan maturing on April 29, 2021 (the Term Loan) and a revolving credit facility of $88,000,000 (the Revolving Facility, collectively the Facilities). The facilities bore interest at the Canadian prime rate plus a marginal rate based on the level determined by the total debt to EBITDA ratio as at the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter or fiscal year. The marginal rate ranged from 0.5% to 2.0%.

 

On June 28, 2017, the credit agreement was amended (the Amendment), extending the term loan maturity date to June 28,2022 and increasing the Term Loan facility to $185,000,000 and the Revolving Facility to $105,000,000, of which $47,000,000 is outstanding at period-end (bank indebtedness).

 

The Amendment was accounted for as a modification of debt, as the terms of the Amendment were not substantially different from the original credit agreement. Therefore, the costs associated with the modification were treated as an adjustment to the carrying value of the long-term debt and amortized over the remaining term of the modified debt.

 

Costs incurred to establish the initial credit agreement in 2016 totalled $2,001,393 and costs incurred to establish the amended agreement in 2017 were $1,443,230. The total remaining costs are amortized over the remaining term of the modified debt maturing on June 28, 2022.

17               Risk management

 

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to a number of financial risks that can affect its operating performance. These risks are: interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s overall risk management program and business practices seek to minimize any potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial performance.

 

Interest rate risk

 

The Company’s exposure to interest rate fluctuations is with respect to its short-term and long-term financing, which bears interest at a floating rate of prime. As at December 31, 2017, an increase or decrease of 1% in short-term interest rates would lead to a respective increase or decrease in annual interest expense of $2,273,740.

 

Credit risk

 

The Company is exposed to credit risk resulting from the possibility that counterparties could default on their financial obligations to the Company, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and loans receivable. Failure to manage credit risk could adversely affect the financial performance of the Company.

 

The Company’s investment policies are designed to mitigate the possibility of deterioration of principal, enhance the Company’s ability to meet its liquidity needs and to provide high returns within those parameters. Cash is on deposit with Canadian chartered banks.

 

Accounts receivable and loans receivable are monitored by management for collectability and management estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts. As a consequence of the considerable customer spread in terms of geographical location and numbers the credit risk is fundamentally limited. No customer exceeds 10% of the Company’s net sales in 2016 or 2017. As at December 31, 2017, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $1,175,712 (2016 - $3,632,554).

 

Liquidity risk

 

Cash flow forecasting is performed by the Company. The Company monitors rolling forecasts of the Company’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs. Such forecasting takes into consideration the Company’s debt financing plans, covenant compliance, and compliance with internal consolidated statements of financial position ratio targets.

 

18               Capital management

 

The Company considers capital to be primarily cash, long-term debt and shareholder’s equity and makes adjustments as appropriate to such variables as cash on hand, additional capital expenditures, debt capacity, available credit facilities and covenant restrictions. The Company’s capital management strategy, objectives and definitions have not materially changed during 2017.
