3. CHANGE IN SEGMENTED DISCLOSURES

As a result of planned divestitures of the company's assets in Trinidad and Tobago, The Netherlands and certain assets in the United Kingdom (described in note 4), the company has combined its International and East Coast Canada segments into one new segment, International and Offshore. Continuing operations for the International and Offshore segment are comprised of activity offshore Newfoundland and Labrador, including interests in the Hibernia, Terra Nova, White Rose and Hebron oilfields, and the exploration for, and production of, crude oil and natural gas in the United Kingdom, Norway, Libya and Syria.

All prior periods have been restated to conform to these segment definitions.

4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The company is divesting certain non-core assets as part of its continuing strategic alignment, with announced sales to date of approximately $1.5 billion. The proceeds of these sales are planned to go towards reducing the company's debt.

Natural Gas

On March 1, 2010, the company completed the sale of its oil and gas producing assets in the U.S. Rockies for net proceeds of US$481 million.

On March 31, 2010, the company completed the sale of certain non-core natural gas properties located in northeast British Columbia for net proceeds of $383 million.

On March 24, 2010, the company entered into an agreement to sell non-core assets in central Alberta (Rosevear and Pine Creek) for proceeds of $235 million. The sale is expected to close in the second quarter of 2010 and is subject to closing conditions and regulatory approvals typical of transactions of this nature.

International and Offshore

On February 25, 2010, Suncor entered into an agreement to sell its assets in Trinidad and Tobago for proceeds of US$380 million. The sale is expected to close in the second quarter of 2010 and is subject to customary closing conditions, Trinidad and Tobago government approval and other regulatory approvals.

Suncor has decided to divest certain non-core North Sea assets in the U.K. and The Netherlands, and these operations have been accounted for as discontinued operations. U.K. North Sea assets that are planned to be divested include Scott/Telford and Triton. The company expects to maintain its ownership positions in the producing Buzzard field, and exploration assets in the Hobby, Golden Eagle and Pink fields. At March 31, 2010, no agreement has been reached on the sale of these non-core North Sea assets.

5. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS


Derivatives are financial instruments that either imitate or counter the price movements of stocks, bonds, currencies, commodities and interest rates. Suncor uses derivatives to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices and foreign currency exchange rates and to manage interest rate or currency-sensitive assets and liabilities. Suncor also uses derivatives for trading purposes. When used in a trading activity, the company is attempting to realize a gain on the fluctuations in the market value of the derivative.

Hedge accounting is a method for recognizing the gains, losses, revenues and expenses associated with the items in a hedging relationship at the time when the underlying transaction impacts earnings. Suncor elects to use hedge accounting on certain derivatives linked to future commodity and financial transactions.

Physical trading commodity contracts that exceed the company's expected purchase, sale or usage requirements are accounted for as derivative financial instruments whereby realized and unrealized gains and losses, and the underlying settlement of these contracts is recognized and reported on a net basis in Energy Supply and Trading Activities revenue. The related inventory is carried at fair value less costs to sell, with changes in fair value recognized as gains or losses within Energy Supply and Trading Activities revenue.


(a)  Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

The company's financial instruments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, derivative contracts, substantially all current liabilities, long-term debt, and a portion of non-current accrued liabilities and other. Unless otherwise noted, carrying values reflect the current fair value of the company's financial instruments.

The estimated fair values of recognized financial instruments have been determined based on the company's assessment of available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies based on industry accepted third-party models; however, these estimates may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts that could be realized or settled in a current market transaction. The company characterizes inputs used in determining fair value using a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs depending on the degree to which they are observable in the market (see page 77 of Suncor's 2009 Annual Report for further detail). As at March 31, 2010, there were no significant changes to the distribution of the fair value hierarchy used to value financial instruments.

The company's fixed-term debt is accounted for under the amortized cost method, with the exception of the portion of debt where future interest payments have been swapped from fixed to floating payments, which is accounted for at fair value. Upon initial recognition, the cost of the debt is its fair value, adjusted for any associated transaction costs. The company does not recognize gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of this debt until the gains or losses are realized. Gains or losses on our U.S. dollar denominated long-term debt resulting from changes in the exchange rate are recognized in the period in which they occur. At March 31, 2010, the carrying value of our fixed-term debt accounted for under the amortized cost method was $9.9 billion (December 31, 2009 – $10.1 billion) and the fair value was $10.5 billion (December 31, 2009 – $10.7 billion).

(b)  Hedge Accounting

For a detailed discussion of fair value and cash flow hedges, see page 75 of Suncor's 2009 Annual Report.

Fair Value Hedges

At March 31, 2010, the company had interest rate swaps classified as fair value hedges outstanding until August 2011, relating to fixed-rate debt. The fair value of these swaps totaled $12 million at March 31, 2010 (December 31, 2009 – $18 million), and was recorded in accounts receivable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. There was no ineffectiveness recognized on these interest rate swaps during the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009.

Cash Flow Hedges

At March 31, 2010, the company had no outstanding cash flow hedges in place (December 31, 2009 – nil). There was no earnings impact associated with realized and unrealized hedge ineffectiveness on derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges during the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI)

There was no significant change in AOCI attributable to hedge accounting in the first quarter of 2010. For a reconciliation of changes in AOCI attributable to hedge accounting for prior periods, see page 76 of Suncor's 2009 Annual Report.

(c)  Other Derivatives

Risk Management Derivatives

The company periodically enters into derivative contracts which although not accounted for as hedges because they have not been documented as such or do not qualify under GAAP, are believed to be economically effective at mitigating our exposure to adverse commodity price movements and an important component of our overall risk management program. The earnings impact associated with these contracts for the three months period ended March 31, 2010, was a gain of $5 million, net of income taxes of $2 million (2009 – a loss of $148 million, net of income taxes of $59 million).

Total premium paid on outstanding contracts was US$22 million.

(3)
Premium received on outstanding contracts was US$160 million.

Energy Trading Derivatives

The company's Energy Trading group also uses physical and financial energy contracts, including swaps, forwards and options to earn trading revenues. These energy contracts are comprised of crude oil, natural gas and refined products contracts.

The earnings impact associated with these contracts for the three months period ended March 31, 2010, was a gain of $18 million, net of income taxes of $7 million (2009 – a gain of $25 million, net of income taxes of $10 million).

(b)
As at March 31, 2010, of the total unrealized derivatives $447 million is recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities (December 31, 2009 – $572 million).

Financial Risk Factors

The company is exposed to a number of different financial risks arising from normal course business exposures, as well as the company's use of financial instruments. These risk factors include market risks relating to commodity prices, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk, as well as liquidity risk and credit risk.

The company maintains a formal governance process to manage its financial risks. The company's Risk Management Committee (RMC) is charged with the oversight of the company's risk management for trading activities, which are defined as strategic hedging,

             Suncor Energy Inc.
042    2010 First Quarter                                                                    For more information about Suncor Energy, visit our website www.suncor.com



optimization trading, marketing and speculative trading. The RMC, acting under board authority, meets regularly to monitor limits on risk exposures, review policy compliance and validate risk-related methodologies and procedures. All risk management activity is carried out by specialist teams that have the appropriate skills, experience and supervision with the appropriate financial and management controls.

At March 31, 2010, the company's exposure to risks arising from the use of financial instruments had not changed significantly from December 31, 2009.

13. CAPITAL STRUCTURE FINANCIAL POLICIES

The company's primary capital management objective is to maintain a solid investment-grade credit rating profile. This objective affords the company the financial flexibility and access to the capital it requires to execute on its growth objectives.

The company monitors capital through two key ratios: net debt to cash flow from operations (1) and total debt to total debt plus shareholders' equity.

Net debt to cash flow from operations is calculated as short-term debt plus total long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents divided by the twelve-month trailing cash flow from operations.

Total debt to total debt plus shareholders' equity is calculated as short term-debt plus total long-term debt divided by short-term debt plus total long-term debt plus shareholders' equity.

Financial covenants associated with the company's various banking and debt arrangements are reviewed regularly and controls are in place to maintain compliance with these covenants. The company complied with all financial covenants for the period ended March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

During the first quarter of 2010, the company's strategy was to maintain the measure set out in the following schedule. The company believes that maintaining our capital target helps to provide the company access to capital at a reasonable cost by maintaining solid investment-grade credit ratings. The increase in debt levels as a result of the merger with Petro-Canada has caused our net debt/cash flow from operations measure to fall outside of management's target, as the calculation only includes eight months of cash flow from operations relating to legacy Petro-Canada operations.

Refer to the Quarterly Operating Summary for a discussion of financial measures not prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

(1)
Cash flow from operations for the period; divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

(2)
For the twelve-month period ended; net earnings (2010 – $1,187 million; 2009 – $2,227 million) adjusted for after-tax financing income (2010 – $864 million; 2009 – expense of $987 million) divided by average capital employed (2010 – $24,350 million; 2009 – $13,941 million). Average capital employed is shareholders' equity and short-term debt plus long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents, less capitalized costs related to major projects in progress (as applicable), on a weighted-average basis. Return on capital employed (ROCE) for Suncor operating segments as presented in the Quarterly Operating Summary is calculated in a manner consistent with consolidated ROCE.

(3)
If capital employed were to include capitalized costs related to major projects in progress (average capital employed including major projects in progress: 2010 – $36,071 million; 2009 – $19,757 million), the return on capital employed would be as stated on this line.

(4)
Short-term debt plus long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents, divided by cash flow from operations for the twelve-month period then ended. The increase in debt levels as a result of the merger with Petro-Canada has caused our net debt to cash flow from operations measure to increase significantly, as the calculation only includes eight months of cash flow from operations relating to legacy Petro-Canada operations.

(5)
Pro forma net debt to cash flow from operations is calculated by taking short-term debt plus long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents, divided by the sum of cash flow from operations for the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2010, plus cash flow from operations for legacy Petro-Canada operations for the four-month period ended July 31, 2009. Cash flow from operations for legacy Petro-Canada operations over this four-month period totalled $736 million.

(6)
Net earnings plus income taxes and interest expense, divided by the sum of interest expense and capitalized interest.

(7)
Cash flow from operations plus current income taxes and interest expense; divided by the sum of interest expense and capitalized interest.

(8)
Short-term debt plus long-term debt; divided by the sum of short-term debt, long-term debt and shareholders' equity.

Quarterly Operating Summary (continued)

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain financial measures referred to in the Highlights and Quarterly Operating Summary are not prescribed by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Suncor includes operating earnings, cash flow from operations, return on capital employed and cash and total operating costs per barrel data because investors may use this information to analyze operating performance, leverage and liquidity. The additional information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Definitions

(1) Average sales price     This operating statistic is calculated before royalties (where applicable) and net of related transportation costs.

(2) Cash operating costs

 


 

Include cash costs that are defined as operating, selling and general expenses (excluding inventory changes), accretion expense and the cost of bitumen imported from third parties. Per barrel amounts are based on total production volumes. For a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure see Management's Discussion and Analysis.

(3) Total cash operating costs

 


 

Include cash operating costs – Total operations as defined above and cash start-up costs. Per barrel amounts are based on total production volumes.

(4) Total operating costs

 


 

Include total cash operating costs – Total operations as defined above and non-cash operating costs. Per barrel amounts are based on total production volumes.

(5) Cash operating costs – In-situ bitumen production

 


 

Include cash costs that are defined as operating, selling and general expenses (excluding inventory changes) and accretion expense. Per barrel amounts are based on in-situ production volumes only.

(6) Total cash operating costs – In-situ bitumen production

 


 

Include cash operating costs – In-situ bitumen production as defined above and cash start-up operating costs. Per barrel amounts are based on in-situ production volumes only.

(7) Total operating costs – In-situ bitumen production

 


 

Include total cash operating costs – In-situ bitumen production as defined above and non-cash operating costs. Per barrel amounts are based on in-situ production volumes only.

(8) Average price realized

 


 

This operating statistic is calculated before transportation costs and royalties and excludes the impact of hedging activities.

Explanatory Notes

*   Excludes the impact of realized hedging activities.

**

 

If capital employed were to include capitalized costs related to major projects in progress, the return on capital employed would be as stated on this line.

***

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2009, and the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, operating summary information reflects results of operations since the merger with Petro-Canada on August 1,  2009.

****

 

Users are cautioned that the Syncrude cash costs per barrel measure may not be fully comparable to similar information calculated by other entities (including Suncor's own cash costs per barrel excluding Syncrude) due to differing treatments for operating and capital costs among producers.

*****

 

Calculation of cash operating costs and total operating costs for in-situ bitumen production has been revised in the first quarter of 2010, and comparative periods restated. Certain general and administrative costs that had not previously been allocated to in-situ have now been included.

 

(a)   thousands of barrels per day   (e)   thousands of barrels of oil equivalent per day   (i)   $ millions

(b)

 

dollars per barrel

 

(f)

 

millions of cubic feet equivalent per day

 

(j)

 

percentage

(c)

 

dollars per barrel rounded to the nearest $0.05

 

(g)

(k)

 

thousands of barrels of bitumen per day

(d)

 

millions of cubic feet per day

 

(h)

 

thousands of cubic metres per day

 

(l)

 

dollars per barrel of oil equivalent

Metric conversion

Crude oil, refined products, etc.   1m 3 (cubic metre) = approx. 6.29 barrels
