Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements

1.Corporate Information
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements (consolidated financial statements) of Stantec Inc., its subsidiaries, and its structured entities (the Company) for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, were authorized for issuance in accordance with a resolution of the Company’s Audit and Risk Committee on May 11, 2022. The Company was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on March 23, 1984. Its shares are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol STN. The Company’s registered office is located at Suite 400, 10220 - 103 Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta. The Company is domiciled in Canada.

The Company is a provider of comprehensive professional services in the area of infrastructure and facilities for clients in the public and private sectors. The Company’s services include engineering, architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, surveying, environmental sciences, project management, and project economics, from initial project concept and planning through to design, construction administration, commissioning, maintenance, decommissioning, and remediation.

2.Basis of Preparation
These consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 were prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting. These consolidated financial statements do not include all information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2021 annual consolidated financial statements. These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest million ($000,000), except where otherwise indicated.

The accounting policies applied when preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed when preparing the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 except as described in note 3.

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements 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. The significant judgments made by management when applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the Company’s December 31, 2021 annual consolidated financial statements, which included considerations for the impacts of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic and new variants. The COVID-19 pandemic has had adverse financial impacts on the global economy and financial markets. The war in Ukraine has also contributed to increased global economic and financial volatility; however, there has been no significant impact on the Company's results and management continues to monitor for any potential impacts on the operations and financial position of the Company.

3.Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Changes to Accounting Policies
In May 2020, the IASB issued Onerous Contracts — Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (Amendments to IAS 37). The
amendments clarify that both incremental costs and an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling the contract should be included in assessing whether a contract is onerous. The amendments are effective January 1, 2022. The amendment did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Future adoptions
The standards, amendments, and interpretations issued before 2022 but not yet adopted by the Company have been disclosed in note 6 of the Company’s December 31, 2021 annual consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently considering the impact of adopting these standards, amendments, and interpretations on its consolidated financial statements.

Senior unsecured notes
The Company has $300.0 of senior unsecured notes (the notes) that mature on October 8, 2027. The notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.048% per annum. The notes rank pari passu with all other debt and future indebtedness of the Company.

Revolving credit facilities and term loan
The Company has syndicated credit facilities, structured as a sustainability-linked loan, consisting of a senior revolving credit facility in the maximum amount of $800.0 and senior term loan of $310.0 in two tranches. Additional funds of $600.0 can be accessed subject to approval and under the same terms and conditions. The revolving credit facility and the term loan are unsecured, may be repaid from time to time at the option of the Company, and maturing at various dates before October 29, 2026. The average interest rate for the credit facilities at March 31, 2022, was 3.00% (December 31, 2021 – 2.15%).

The Company is subject to restrictive covenants related to its credit facilities and senior unsecured notes, which are measured quarterly. These covenants are consistent with those disclosed in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as at and throughout the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Notes payable
Notes payable consists primarily of notes payable for acquisitions and mature at various dates from 2022 to 2024. The weighted average interest rate on the notes payable at March 31, 2022, was 1.21% (December 31, 2021 – 1.46%).

Software financing obligations
The Company has financing obligations for software, included in intangible assets, bearing interest at rates up to 1.83% (December 31, 2021 - up to 4.69%) and mature at various dates before October 2027. Software additions acquired through software financing obligations in the first quarter of 2022, were $3.5 (December 31, 2021 - $44.4) and have been excluded from the consolidated statement of cash flows (note 14).

Surety facilities
The Company has surety facilities related to Construction Services (which was sold in 2018), to accommodate the issuance of bonds for certain types of project work. At March 31, 2022, the Company had retained bonds of $54.6 (US$43.6) (December 31, 2021 – $65.5 (US$51.8)) in US funds under these surety facilities that will expire on completion of the associated projects. The estimated completion dates of these projects are before May 2023. Although the Company remains obligated for these instruments, the purchaser of the Construction Services business has indemnified the Company for any obligations that may arise from these bonds.

The Company also has $18.9 (December 31, 2021 - $10.1) in bonds for Consulting Services that will expire on completion of the associated projects. The estimated completion dates of these projects are before October 2028.

Dividends
Holders of common shares are entitled to receive dividends when declared by the Company’s board of directors. The table below describes the dividends paid in 2022.

At March 31, 2022, trade and other payables included $20.0 (December 31, 2021 – $18.3) related to the dividends declared on February 23, 2022.

Share-based payment transactions
During the first quarter of 2022, the Company recognized a share-based compensation recovery of $0.3. The share-based compensation recovery was offset by a hedge impact of $3.5 (March 31, 2021 - nil) (note 11) for a net share-based compensation expense of $3.2 (March 31, 2021 - $12.4), in administrative and marketing expenses in the consolidated statements of income. Also, an adjustment of $0.8 (March 31, 2021 - $2.0) was included in contributed surplus for deferred tax impacts on share-based compensation.

At March 31, 2022, the accrued obligations for Restricted Share Units (RSUs) of $15.8 (December 31, 2021 - $15.4) and for Preferred Share Units (PSUs) of $32.8 (December 31, 2021 - $32.5), and the fair value of outstanding and vested Deferred Share Units (DSUs) of $13.1 (December 31, 2021 - $14.1) were recorded in other liabilities (note 8).


10.Fair Value Measurements
All financial instruments carried at fair value are categorized into one of the following:
Level 1 – quoted market prices
Level 2 – valuation techniques (market observable)
Level 3 – valuation techniques (non-market observable)
When forming estimates, the Company uses the most observable inputs available for valuation purposes. If a fair value measurement reflects inputs of different levels within the hierarchy, the financial instrument is categorized based on the lowest level of significant input.

When determining fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis.

For financial instruments recognized at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorizations at the end of each reporting period.

In the first quarter of 2022, no changes were made to the method of determining fair value and no transfers were made between levels of the hierarchy.

Investments held for self-insured liabilities consist of government and corporate bonds and equity securities. Fair value of bonds is determined using observable prices of debt with characteristics and maturities that are similar to the bonds being valued. Fair value of equities is determined using the reported net asset value per share of the investment funds. The funds derive their value from observable quoted prices of the equities owned that are traded in an active market.

The following table summarizes the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those liabilities that were not measured at fair value but are required to be disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis as at March 31, 2022:

The fair value of senior unsecured notes and notes payable is determined by calculating the present value of future payments using observable benchmark interest rates and credit spreads for debt with similar characteristics and maturities.

11.Financial Instruments
a)Derivative financial instruments

Interest rate swap
The Company has an interest rate swap agreement to hedge the interest rate variability on Tranche C of the term loan with a notional amount of $160.0, maturing on June 27, 2023. The change in fair value of the interest rate swap, estimated using market rates at March 31, 2022, is an unrealized gain of $2.2 ($1.7 net of tax) (March 31, 2021 – unrealized gain of $0.9 ($0.7 net of tax)). The unrealized gains and losses relating to the swap are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and in the statement of financial position as other assets or other liabilities.

Total return swaps on share-based compensation units
The Company entered into total return swap (TRS) agreements in the fourth quarter of 2021 to hedge its exposure to changes in the fair value of the Company's shares for certain cash-settled share-based payment obligations with a notional amount of $24.9, maturing between 2022 and 2024. During the first quarter of 2022, changes in the fair value of the TRSs of $1.0 ($0.8 net of tax) were recognized in other comprehensive loss and $3.5 ($2.8 net of tax) was reclassified to the consolidated statements of income, in administrative and marketing expenses.

b)Nature and extent of risks
The COVID-19 pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine, as described in note 2, have had adverse financial impacts on the global economy, but the Company has not seen a significant increase to its risk exposure. Management continues to closely monitor the impacts on the Company’s risk exposure and will adjust its risk management approach as necessary.

Credit risk
Assets that subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash and deposits, trade and other receivables, unbilled receivables, contract assets, investments held for self-insured liabilities, holdbacks on long-term contracts, and other financial assets. The Company’s maximum amount of credit risk exposure is limited to the carrying amount of these assets, which at March 31, 2022, was $1,775.8 (December 31, 2021 – $1,746.9).

The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by placing its cash and cash equivalents in high-quality credit institutions. Investments held for self-insured liabilities include corporate bonds and equity securities. The Company believes the risk associated with corporate bonds and equity securities is mitigated by the overall quality and mix of the Company’s investment portfolio. Substantially all bonds held by the Company are investment grade, and none are past due. The Company monitors changes in credit risk by tracking published external credit ratings.

The Company mitigates the risk associated with trade and other receivables, unbilled receivables, contract assets, and holdbacks on long-term contracts by providing services to diverse clients in various industries and sectors of the economy. In addition, management reviews trade and other receivables past due on an ongoing basis to identify matters that could potentially delay the collection of funds at an early stage. The Company does not concentrate its credit risk in any particular client, industry, or economic or geographic sector.

The Company monitors trade receivables to an internal target of days of revenue in trade receivables. At March 31, 2022, the days of revenue in trade receivables were 56 days (December 31, 2021 – 59 days).

Price risk
The Company’s investments held for self-insured liabilities are exposed to price risk arising from changes in the market values of the equity securities. This risk is mitigated because the portfolio of equity funds is monitored regularly and appropriately diversified. For the Company's investments held for self-insured liabilities, a 1% increase
or decrease in equity prices at March 31, 2022, would increase or decrease the Company’s net income by $1.2,
respectively.

The Company is also exposed to changes in its share price arising from its cash-settled share-based payments as the Company's obligation under these arrangements are based on the price of the Company's shares. The Company mitigates a portion of its exposure to this risk for its RSUs and DSUs by entering into TRSs. For PSUs, a 10% increase or decrease in the price of the Company's shares at March 31, 2022, would decrease or increase the Company’s net income by $1.3, respectively.

Liquidity risk
The Company meets its liquidity needs through various sources, including cash generated from operations, issuing senior unsecured notes, borrowings from its $800.0 revolving credit facility, term loans, and the issuance of common shares. The unused capacity of the revolving credit facility at March 31, 2022, was $165.4 (December 31, 2021 – $243.7). The Company believes that it has sufficient resources to meet obligations associated with its financial liabilities.

Interest rate risk
The Company is subject to interest rate cash flow risk to the extent that its revolving credit facility and term loan are
based on floating interest rates. However, this risk has been partially mitigated by the interest rate swap on tranche C
of the term loan. The Company is also subject to interest rate pricing risk to the extent that its investments held for

self-insured liabilities include fixed-rate government and corporate bonds. If the interest rate on the Company’s revolving credit facility and term loan balances at March 31, 2022, was 0.5% higher or lower, with all other variables held constant, net income would decrease or increase by $0.7, respectively.

Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the fair value of the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Foreign exchange gains or losses in net income arise on the translation of foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities (such as trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, and long-term debt) held in the Company's Canadian operations and foreign subsidiaries. The Company manages its exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations on these items by matching foreign currency assets with foreign currency liabilities and from time to time, through the use of foreign currency forward contracts.

Foreign exchange fluctuations may also arise on the translation of the Company's US-based subsidiaries or other foreign subsidiaries, where the functional currency is different from the Canadian dollar, and are recorded in other comprehensive income. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company recorded exchange losses on translation of foreign operations of $17.0 through other comprehensive income (loss), of which $10.0 related to goodwill. The Company does not hedge for this foreign exchange risk.

The uncertain impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic also may result in changes to this pattern.
