Cameco Corporation

Notes to condensed consolidated interim financial statements

(Unaudited)

($Cdn thousands, except per share amounts and as noted)

1. Cameco Corporation

Cameco Corporation is incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act. The address of its registered office is 2121 11th Street West, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, S7M 1J3. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at and for the period ended September 30, 2013 comprise Cameco Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company or Cameco) and the Company’s interest in associates and joint arrangements. The Company is primarily engaged in the exploration for and the development, mining, refining, conversion, fabrication and trading of uranium for sale as fuel for generating electricity in nuclear power reactors in Canada and other countries. Cameco has a 31.6% interest in Bruce Power L.P. (BPLP), which operates the four Bruce B nuclear reactors in Ontario.

2. Significant accounting policies

A. Statement of compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with Cameco’s annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2012.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Company’s board of directors on October 29, 2013.

B. Basis of presentation

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in Canadian dollars in tabular format has been rounded to the nearest thousand except where otherwise noted.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following material items in the statements of financial position: derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value, available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value, liabilities for cash-settled share-based payment arrangements are measured at fair value and the defined benefit asset is recognized as plan assets less the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Actual results may vary from these estimates.

In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in note five of the December 31, 2012 consolidated financial statements.

3. Accounting changes

A. Changes in accounting policy

On January 1, 2013, Cameco adopted the following new standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board: IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures (IFRS 7), IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements (IFRS 10), IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements (IFRS 11), IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (IFRS 12), IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement (IFRS 13), IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (IAS 1) and revised IAS 19 Employee Benefits (IAS 19R).

i. Subsidiaries

IFRS 10 introduces a new control model that is applicable to all investees. Among other things, it requires the consolidation of an investee if the Company controls the investee on the basis of de facto circumstances. In accordance with IFRS 10, Cameco re-assessed the control conclusion for its investees at January 1, 2013. There were no changes to the control conclusion for Cameco’s investees.

ii. Joint arrangements

Under IFRS 11, Cameco classifies its interests in joint arrangements as either joint operations or joint ventures depending on the Company’s rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities of the arrangements, the legal form of any separate vehicles, the contractual terms of the arrangements and other facts and circumstances. Previously, the structure of the arrangement was the main determination of classification.

In accordance with IFRS 11, Cameco has re-evaluated its involvement in joint arrangements at January 1, 2013. As a result, the Company has changed its classification conclusion with respect to its investment in BPLP. BPLP has control over its own assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and because Cameco is entitled to a share of the profits or losses from BPLP’s operations, Cameco has determined that its investment in BPLP should be classified as a joint venture. Accordingly, Cameco applied equity accounting to the investment commencing on January 1, 2013. Previously, the investee was accounted for as a jointly controlled entity using the proportionate consolidation method.

iii. Employee benefits

The revisions to IAS 19 have accelerated the recognition of past service costs and replaced interest cost and expected return on plan assets with a measure of net interest on the defined benefit asset or liability. In addition, IAS 19R has resulted in a change in the accounting for both plan administration costs and assets earning no return in refundable tax accounts. These revisions have resulted in adjustments to both Cameco and BPLP’s defined benefit obligation balances. There are also expanded disclosure requirements in IAS 19R. These will be included in the 2013 annual financial statements as the new disclosures are not required in interim periods.

The following tables summarize the adjustments made to Cameco’s consolidated statements of earnings for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and to its consolidated statements of financial position at January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012, as a result of the aforementioned accounting changes.

B. New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

i. Financial instruments

In October 2010, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (IFRS 9). This standard is part of a wider project to replace IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (IAS 39). IFRS 9 replaces the current multiple classification and measurement models for financial assets and liabilities with a single model that has only two classification categories: amortized cost and fair value. The basis of classification depends on the entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset or liability. The guidance in IAS 39 on impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting continues to apply. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015, with early adoption permitted. Cameco does not intend to early adopt IFRS 9. The extent of the impact of adoption of IFRS 9 has not yet been determined.

ii. Financial assets and financial liabilities

In December 2011, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation (IAS 32). The amendment is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014 and is to be applied retrospectively. The amendment clarifies matters regarding offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities as well as related disclosure requirements. Cameco intends to adopt the amendments to IAS 32 in its financial statements for the annual period beginning January 1, 2014 and does not expect the amendments to have a material impact on the financial statements.

iii. Levies

In May 2013, the IASB issued International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) 21, Levies. IFRIC 21 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014 and is to be applied retrospectively. IFRIC 21 provides guidance on accounting for levies in accordance with IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. The interpretation defines a levy as an outflow from an entity imposed by a government in accordance with legislation and confirms that an entity recognizes a liability for a levy only when the triggering event specified in the legislation occurs. Cameco intends to adopt IFRIC 21 in its financial statements for the annual period beginning January 1, 2014. The extent of the impact of IFRIC 21 has not yet been determined.

iv. Impairment of assets

In May 2013, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. The amendments in IAS 36 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014 and are to be applied retrospectively. The amendments reverse the unintended requirement in IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement to disclose the recoverable amount of every cash-generating unit to which significant goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets have been allocated. Under these amendments, the recoverable amount is required to be disclosed only when an impairment loss has been recognized or reversed. Cameco intends to adopt the amendments to IAS 36 in its financial statements for the annual period beginning January 1, 2014 and does not expect the amendments to have a material impact on the financial statements.

4. Acquisition of NUKEM Energy GmbH (NUKEM)

On January 9, 2013, Cameco completed the acquisition of NUKEM from Advent International (Advent) and other shareholders, through the purchase of all the outstanding shares for cash consideration of €107,149,000 ($140,494,000 (US)), plus additional consideration of €6,075,000 ($7,808,000 (US)). This additional consideration represents a share of NUKEM’s 2012 earnings under the terms of the agreement. Based on an amending agreement entered into during the quarter, no further earn-out payments will be made.

While Cameco received the economic benefit of owning NUKEM as of January 1, 2012, the results of NUKEM have been consolidated with the results of Cameco commencing on January 9, 2013. NUKEM is one of the world’s leading traders and brokers of nuclear fuel products and services. The acquisition complements Cameco’s business by strengthening our position in nuclear fuel markets and improving our access to unconventional and secondary sources of supply.

In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price was allocated to the underlying assets and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the date of acquisition. Fair values were determined based on discounted cash flows and quoted market prices. The values assigned to the net assets acquired were as follows:

 

Net assets acquired

      

Cash and cash equivalents

   $ 12,974   

Accounts receivable

     43,529

     87,535   

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities

     (68,464

     (116,922

     (15,514

Deferred tax liabilities

     (53,665

     88,377   
  

 

 

 

Total

   $ 148,302   
  

 

 

 

Cash

   $ 140,494   

Additional consideration

     7,808   
  

 

 

 

Total

   $ 148,302   
  

 

 

 

The fair value of the acquired accounts receivable approximates its carrying value due to the short-term nature of the balance. None of the accounts receivable were impaired and the amounts were fully collected.

Intangible assets include the fair value of the purchase and sales contracts that NUKEM was a party to as at January 9, 2013.

The goodwill arising on acquisition is attributable to the difference between the accounting fair value and the tax basis of the net assets acquired, and is not deductible for income tax purposes. Goodwill reflects the value assigned to the expected future earnings capabilities of the organization. This is the earnings potential that we anticipate will be realized through new business arrangements.

Since the effective date of the transaction was January 9, 2013, the consolidated revenue and net earnings for the current reporting period is not materially different than what would be reported if the business combination had occurred at the beginning of the year.

Acquisition costs of $3,800,000 have been expensed and included in administration expense in the 2012 consolidated statements of earnings. In addition, an advisory fee of $2,980,000 has been included in administration expense in the consolidated statement of earnings for the period ended September 30, 2013.

As at September 30, 2013, NUKEM had the following purchase commitments to buy uranium and fuel services products:

 

2013     2014     2015     2016     2017     Thereafter     Total

For the quarter ended September 30, 2013, Cameco expensed $371,000,000 of inventory as cost of sales (2012—$186,300,000). For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, Cameco expensed $978,400,000 of inventory as cost of sales (2012—$650,400,000). Included in cost of sales is a $17,000,000 writedown of NUKEM inventory which Cameco recorded during the quarter to reflect net realizable value.

(i) In addition to its proportionate share of earnings from BPLP, Cameco records certain consolidating adjustments to amortize fair values assigned to assets and liabilities at the time of acquisition

(a) During the year, Cameco, Cameco Bruce Holdings II Inc., BPC Generation Infrastructure Trust (BPC) and TransCanada Pipelines Limited (TransCanada) (collectively, the Consortium), signed an agreement with BE confirming the amount of the damages paid to the Consortium in connection with the claim against British Energy Limited and British Energy International Holdings Limited (collectively, BE) on the issues of repair costs and lost revenue for breach of a representation and warranty contained in the February 14, 2003 Amended and Restated Master Purchase Agreement under which the Consortium acquired BE’s interest in BPLP.

In connection with this arbitration, BE had issued on February 10, 2006 and then served on OPG and BPLP a Statement of Claim. This Statement of Claim seeks damages for any amounts that BE is found liable to pay to the Consortium in connection with the Unit 8 steam generator arbitration described above, additional damages in the amount of $500,000,000, costs pre and post judgement interest amongst other things. As part of the settlement noted above, BE is effectively discontinuing their action against BPLP.

(b) Annual supplemental rents of $31,000,000 (subject to CPI) per operating reactor are payable by BPLP to OPG. Should the hourly annual average price of electricity in Ontario fall below $30 per megawatt hour for any calendar year, the supplemental rent reduces to $12,000,000 per operating reactor. In accordance with the Sublease Agreement, BALP will participate in its share of any adjustments to the supplemental rent.

(c) Cameco, TransCanada and BPC have assumed the obligations to provide financial guarantees on behalf of BPLP. Cameco has provided the following financial assurances, with varying terms that range from 2013 to 2018:

i) Guarantees to customers under power sales agreements of up to $3,700,000. At September 30, 2013, Cameco had no exposure under these agreements.

ii) Termination payments to OPG pursuant to the lease agreement of $58,300,000. The fair value of these guarantees is nominal.

(d) Under a supply contract with the Ontario Power Authority (OPA), BPLP is entitled to receive payments from the OPA during periods when the market price for electricity in Ontario is lower than the floor price defined under the agreement during a calendar year. On July 6, 2009, BPLP and the OPA amended the supply contract such that beginning in 2009, the annual payments received will not be subject to repayment in future years. Previously, the payments received under the agreement were subject to repayment during the entire term of the contract, dependent on the spot price in future periods. On April 3, 2013, BPLP and the OPA reached an agreement to amend the supply contract to extend the floor price from the original end of life dates from between 2016 and 2019 to between 2019 and 2020. For the quarter ended September 30, 2013, BPLP recorded as revenue $203,600,000 (2012—$165,600,000) under this agreement, with Cameco’s share being $64,300,000 (2012 -$52,300,000). For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, BPLP recorded as revenue $486,400,000 (2012—$575,000,000) under this agreement, with Cameco’s share being $153,700,000 (2012—$181,700,000).

Cameco has recorded $243,776,000 of deferred tax assets (December 31, 2012—$193,916,000). Based on projections of future income, realization of these deferred tax assets is probable and consequently a deferred tax asset has been recorded.

In 2008, as part of the ongoing annual audits of Cameco’s Canadian tax returns, Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) disputed the transfer pricing structure and methodology used by Cameco and its wholly owned Swiss subsidiary, Cameco Europe Ltd. (CEL), in respect of sale and purchase agreements for uranium products. From December 2008 to date, CRA issued notices of reassessment for the taxation years 2003 through 2007, which have increased Cameco’s income for Canadian income tax purposes by approximately $43,000,000, $108,000,000, $197,000,000, $243,000,000 and $708,000,000 respectively. The 2007 reassessment resulted in Cameco being required to make a cash payment of approximately $27,000,000 in the first quarter of 2013. Cameco was successful in obtaining a refund of $20,000,000 related to this payment in the second quarter of 2013. Cameco believes it is likely that CRA will reassess Cameco’s tax returns for subsequent years on a similar basis and that these will result in future cash payments on receipt of the reassessments.

 

14


Using the methodology we believe that the CRA will continue to apply, and including the $1,300,000,000 already reassessed, we expect to receive notices of reassessment for a total of approximately $4,900,000,000 for the years 2003 through 2012, which would increase Cameco’s income for Canadian tax purposes and result in a related tax expense of approximately $1,400,000,000. Cash taxes payable would be between $800,000,000 and $850,000,000. In addition, we estimate there would be interest and instalment penalties applied that would be material to Cameco. We would be responsible for remitting 50% of the cash taxes, or between $400,000,000 and $425,000,000, plus related interest and instalment penalties assessed, which would be material to Cameco. The amount required to be remitted each year will depend on the amount of income reassessed in that year and the availability of elective deductions and tax loss carryovers. In light of our view of the likely outcome of the case as described above, we expect to recover all amounts paid to date and any other amounts remitted in this case.

The case on the 2003 reassessment is expected to go to trial in late 2014. If the timing is adhered to, we expect to have a Tax Court decision in 2015.

Having regard to advice from its external advisors, Cameco’s opinion is that CRA’s position is incorrect, and Cameco is contesting CRA’s position and expects to recover any cash paid as a result of the reassessments. However, to reflect the uncertainties of CRA’s appeals process and litigation, Cameco has recorded a cumulative tax provision related to this matter for the years 2003 through the current period in the amount of $68,000,000. While the resolution of this matter may result in liabilities that are higher or lower than the reserve, management believes that the ultimate resolution will not be material to Cameco’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity in the year(s) of resolution. Resolution of this matter as stipulated by CRA would be material to Cameco’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity in the year(s) of resolution, and other unfavourable outcomes for the years 2003 to date could be material to Cameco’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in the year(s) of resolution.

To date, CRA’s Transfer Pricing Review Committee has not imposed a transfer pricing penalty for any year reassessed. Further to Cameco’s decision to contest CRA’s reassessments, Cameco is pursuing its appeal rights under the Income Tax Act.

14. Share-based compensation plans

Stock option plan

The Company has established a stock option plan under which options to purchase common shares may be granted to employees of Cameco. Options granted under the stock option plan have an exercise price of not less than the closing price quoted on the TSX for the common shares of Cameco on the trading day prior to the date on which the option is granted. The options vest over three years and expire eight years from the date granted.

The aggregate number of common shares that may be issued pursuant to the Cameco stock option plan shall not exceed 43,017,198 of which 27,543,857 shares have been issued.

The inputs used in the measurement of the fair values at grant date of the stock option plan were as follows:

15. Financial instruments

A. Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument is estimated as the amount that would be received to sell a financial asset, or paid to transfer a financial liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. Fair values of financial instruments traded in an active market are determined by reference to last quoted prices, in the principal market for that instrument. In the absence of an active market for an instrument, fair values are determined based on quoted instruments with similar characteristics and risk profiles, or through other valuation techniques. Fair values determined using valuation techniques require the use of inputs, which are obtained from external, readily observable market data when available. In some circumstances, inputs that are not based on observable data must be used. In these cases, the estimated fair values may be adjusted in order to account for valuation uncertainty, or to reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the instrument.

The fair value of Cameco’s cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables and accrued liabilities is assumed to approximate the carrying value as a result of the short-term nature of the instruments. The fair value of Cameco’s short-term debt and long-term debt is assumed to approximate the carrying value as a result of the variable interest rate associated with the instruments, or the fixed interest rate of the instruments being similar to market rates.

Short-term investments represent available-for-sale money-market instruments which are carried at fair value, determined based on quoted closing bid prices at the reporting date. The fair value of Cameco’s privately held available-for-sale securities has not been disclosed, because of the unavailability of a quoted market price in an active market. Cameco does not currently have plans to dispose of this investment.

Cameco’s derivatives consist of foreign currency swaps, interest rate swaps, and interest rate caps. The fair value of foreign currency swaps is determined using quoted foreign exchange rates at the reporting date. The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined by discounting estimated future cash flows based on the terms and maturity of each contract, and using market interest rates for a similar instrument at the reporting date. The fair value of interest rate caps is determined based on broker quotes at the reporting date. Where applicable, the fair value of derivatives reflects the credit risk of the instrument, and includes adjustments to take into account the credit risk of the Company and counterparty.

All financial instruments measured at fair value are categorized into one of three hierarchy levels, described below, for disclosure purposes. Each level is based on the transparency of the inputs used to measure the fair values of assets and liabilities:

 

    Level 1 – Values based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the reporting date for identical assets or liabilities.

 

    Level 2 – Values based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

    Level 3 – Values based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

When the inputs used to measure fair value fall within more than one level of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measure in its entirety.

The following tables present Cameco’s fair value hierarchy for those financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
