ATS CORPORATION
Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
    (in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts - unaudited)    

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

ATS Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “ATS” or the “Company”) is an industry leader in planning, designing, building, commissioning and servicing automated manufacturing systems - including automation products and test solutions - for a broadly-diversified base of customers.

The Company is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “ATS” and is incorporated and domiciled in Ontario, Canada. The address of its registered office is 730 Fountain Street North, Cambridge, Ontario, Canada.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) on August 7, 2024.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivative instruments that have been measured at fair value. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand, except where otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 - Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), have been omitted or condensed. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2024.

Standards adopted in fiscal 2025

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the presentation of the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024, except as noted below:

(i) Amendments to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements

The IASB clarified the classification of liabilities as current or non-current based on the existence of a right to defer settlement at the reporting date. The classification of a liability remains unaffected by the intentions or expectations of the entity to exercise its right to defer settlement, or will to choose to settle early.

The IASB reconfirmed that only covenants with which a company must comply on or before the reporting date affect the classification of a liability as current or non-current. Future covenants do not affect classification, however, if there is a future covenant on a non-current liability, entities are required to disclose information regarding the risk that those liabilities could become repayable within 12 months after the reporting date.

The Company adopted these amendments on April 1, 2024 and the adoption did not have an impact on the Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Standard issued but not yet effective

A number of new standards and amendments to standards have been issued but are not yet effective for the financial year ending March 31, 2025, and accordingly, have not been applied in preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. This listing is of a standard issued that the Company reasonably expects to be applicable at a future date.

(i) Issuance of IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

On April 9, 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 which will replace IAS 1 for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. The new standard aims to improve comparability and transparency of communication in financial statements. The requirements include required totals, subtotals and new categories in the consolidated statements of income; disclosure of management-defined performance measures and guidance on aggregation and disaggregation. Retrospective application is required in both annual and interim financial statements. The Company is in the process of reviewing the new standard to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period. However, uncertainty about these estimates, judgments and assumptions could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next fiscal year, are consistent with those disclosed in the Company’s fiscal 2024 audited consolidated financial statements.

The Company based its estimates, judgments and assumptions on parameters available when the interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the estimates when they occur.

4. ACQUISITIONS

(i) On May 15, 2024, the Company announced it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the shares of Paxiom Group (“Paxiom”). With headquarters in Montreal, Quebec, Paxiom is a provider of primary, secondary, and end-of-line packaging machines in the food and beverage, cannabis, and pharmaceutical industries. The transaction closed on July 24, 2024 for cash consideration of $140,000, subsequent to the end of the period; as such, the purchase price has not been allocated.

(ii) On August 7, 2024, subsequent to the end of the period, the Company announced it had entered into a definitive agreement to purchase all material assets from Heidolph Instruments GmbH & Co. KG and Hans Heidolph GmbH ("Heidolph"), a leading manufacturer of premium lab equipment for the life sciences and pharmaceutical industries, with headquarters in Schwabach, Germany and facilities in the United States, South Korea and China. The transaction is expected to close in the third calendar quarter of 2024, subject to closing conditions in the agreement.

(i) On April 20, 2022, the Company entered into a cross-currency interest rate swap instrument to swap U.S. $175,000 into Canadian dollars to hedge a portion of its foreign exchange risk related to its U.S. dollar-denominated Senior Notes. The Company will receive interest of 4.125% U.S. per annum and pay interest of 4.169% Canadian. The terms of the hedging instrument will end on December 15, 2025.

The Company entered into a cross-currency interest rate swap instrument on April 20, 2022 to swap 161,142 Euros into Canadian dollars to hedge the net investment in European operations. The Company will receive interest of 4.169% Canadian per annum and pay interest of 2.351% Euros. The terms of the hedging relationship will end on December 15, 2025.

(ii) Effective November 4, 2022, the Company entered into a variable for fixed interest rate swap instrument to swap the variable interest rate on its $300,000 non-amortized secured term credit facility to a fixed 4.241% interest plus a margin.

9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and the three months ended July 2, 2023, there were no changes in the classification of financial assets as a result of a change in the purpose or use of those assets.

10

ATS CORPORATION
Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
    (in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts - unaudited)    

During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and the three months ended July 2, 2023, there were no transfers of financial instruments between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and no transfers into or out of Level 3 fair value measurements.

Instruments not subject to hedge accounting
As part of the Company’s risk management strategy, forward contract derivative financial instruments are used to manage foreign currency exposure related to the translation of foreign currency net assets to the subsidiary’s functional currency. As these instruments have not been designated as hedges, the change in fair value is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the interim condensed consolidated statements of income.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded risk management losses of $1,310 (three months ended July 2, 2023 - gains of $6,636), on foreign currency risk management forward contracts in the interim condensed consolidated statements of income. Included in these amounts, during the three months ended June 30, 2024, were unrealized losses of $363 (three months ended July 2, 2023 - unrealized gains of $92), representing the change in fair value. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company realized foreign exchange losses of $947 (three months ended July 2, 2023 - realized gains of $6,544), which were settled.

Warranty provisions
Warranty provisions are related to sales of products and are based on experience reflecting statistical trends of warranty costs.

Restructuring
Restructuring charges are recognized in the period incurred and when the criteria for provisions are fulfilled. Termination benefits are recognized as a liability and an expense when the Company is demonstrably committed through a formal restructuring plan.

The North American EV market is experiencing a slowdown in sales growth, and this has given rise to reduced investment, program cancellations, deferrals, and production volume reductions by various automakers. In response to the resulting lower demand for the Company's solutions in this space, the Company intends to reduce the cost structure of its transportation-related businesses. This is expected to include reallocation of resources to other parts of the business, along with workforce reductions. These actions are expected to commence in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, with an estimated cost of between $15 million and $20 million.

Other provisions
Other provisions are related to medical insurance expenses that have been incurred during the period but are not yet paid, and other miscellaneous provisions.

11. BANK INDEBTEDNESS AND LONG-TERM DEBT

On October 5, 2023, the Company amended its senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) to extend the term loan maturity to match the maturity of the revolving line of credit. The Credit Facility consists of (i) a $750,000 secured committed revolving line of credit and (ii) a fully drawn $300,000 non-amortized secured term credit facility; both maturing on November 4, 2026. The Credit Facility is secured by the Company’s assets, including a pledge of shares of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries also provide guarantees under the Credit Facility. At June 30, 2024, the Company had utilized $816,971 under the Credit Facility, of which $816,959 was classified as long-term debt (March 31, 2024 - $703,972) and $12 by way of letters of credit (March 31, 2024 - $12).
The Credit Facility is available in Canadian dollars by way of prime rate advances, Term CORRA advances and/or Daily Compounded CORRA advances, in U.S. dollars by way of base rate advances and/or Term SOFR advances, in Euros by way of EURIBOR advances, in British pounds sterling by way of Daily Simple SONIA advances, and by way of letters of credit for certain purposes. The interest rates applicable to the Credit Facility are determined based on a net debt-to-EBITDA ratio as defined in the Credit Facility. For prime rate advances and base rate advances, the interest rate is equal to the Agent's prime rate or the Agent's U.S. dollar base rate in Canada, respectively, plus a margin ranging from 0.45% to 2.00%. For Term CORRA advances, Daily Compounded CORRA advances, Term SOFR advances, EURIBOR advances and Daily Simple SONIA advances, the interest rate is equal to the Term CORRA rate, the Daily Compounded CORRA rate, the Term SOFR rate, the EURIBOR rate or the Daily Simple SONIA rate, respectively, plus a margin that varies from 1.45% to 3.00%. The Company pays a fee for usage of financial letters of credit that ranges from 1.45% to 3.00%, and a fee for usage of non-financial letters of credit that ranges from 0.97% to 2.00%. The Company pays a standby fee on the unadvanced portions of the amounts available for advance or drawdown under the Credit Facility at rates ranging from 0.29% to 0.60%. The Company's Credit Facility is subject to changes in market interest rates. Changes in economic conditions outside of the Company's control could result in higher interest rates, thereby increasing its interest expense. The Company uses a variable for fixed interest rate swap to hedge a portion of its Credit Facility (see note 8).

The Credit Facility is subject to financial covenants including a net debt-to-EBITDA test and an interest coverage test. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company is restricted from encumbering any assets with certain permitted exceptions. At June 30, 2024, all of the covenants were met.

The Company has additional credit facilities available of $108,633 (40,575 Euros, $24,000 U.S, 120,000 Thai Baht, 5,000 GBP, 5,000 CNY, $150 AUD and $2,144 CAD). The total amount outstanding on these facilities as at June 30, 2024 was $11,696, of which $9,470 was classified as bank indebtedness (March 31, 2024 - $4,060), $2,226 was classified as long-term debt (March 31, 2024 - $2,299) and $nil by way of letters of credit (March 31, 2023 - $376). The interest rates applicable to the credit facilities range from 0.03% to 8.45% per annum. A portion of the long-term debt is secured by certain assets of the Company.

The Company’s U.S. $350,000 aggregate principal amount of senior notes (“the Senior Notes”) were issued at par, bear interest at a rate of 4.125% per annum and mature on December 15, 2028. After December 15, 2023, the Company may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at specified redemption prices and subject to certain conditions required by the Senior Notes. If the Company experiences a change of control, the Company may be required to repurchase the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. The Senior Notes contain customary covenants that restrict, subject to certain

exceptions and thresholds, some of the activities of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Company’s ability to dispose of assets, incur additional debt, pay dividends, create liens, make investments, and engage in specified transactions with affiliates. At June 30, 2024, all of the covenants were met. Subject to certain exceptions, the Senior Notes are guaranteed by each of the subsidiaries of the Company that is a borrower or has guaranteed obligations under the Credit Facility. Transaction fees of $8,100 were deferred and are being amortized over the term of the Senior Notes. The Company uses a cross-currency interest rate swap instrument to hedge a portion of its U.S.-dollar-denominated Senior Notes (see note 8).

Pillar Two legislation became enacted in Canada and came into effect on April 1, 2024 for the Company. Pillar Two introduces a 15% global minimum tax on income earned in each jurisdiction where the Company operates. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized income tax expense related to Pillar Two income taxes of $513 (July 2, 2023 - $nil) in the interim condensed consolidated statement of income. The Company has applied the exception to recognizing and disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes.

On June 20, 2024, Bill C-59 received Royal Assent, enacting a 2% tax on certain share buybacks. The impact of this tax is reflected in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements (note 12).

14. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In the calculation of the stock-based compensation expense in the interim condensed consolidated statements of income, the fair values of the Company’s stock option grants were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for time-vesting stock options. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted 241,327 time-vesting stock options (176,112 in the three months ended July 2, 2023). The stock options granted vest over four years and expire on the seventh anniversary from the date of issue.

The fair values of the Company’s stock options issued during the periods presented were estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions. Expected stock price volatility was determined at the time of the grant by considering historical share price volatility. Expected stock option grant life was determined at the time of the grant by considering the average of the grant vesting period and the grant exercise period.

Restricted Share Unit Plan:

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted 193,277 time-vesting restricted share units (“RSUs”), (128,599 in the three months ended July 2, 2023) and 210,803 performance-based RSUs, (126,944 in the three months ended July 2, 2023). The Company measures these RSUs based on the fair value at the date of grant and a compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period in the interim condensed consolidated statements of income with a corresponding increase in contributed surplus. The performance-based RSUs vest upon successful achievement of certain operational and share price targets.

On May 18, 2022, the RSU plan was amended so that RSUs granted may be settled in ATS Common Shares, where deemed advisable by the Company, as an alternative to cash payments. It is the Company's intention to settle these RSUs with ATS Common Shares and therefore the Company measures these RSUs as equity awards based on fair value. At June 30, 2024, 725,290 shares are held in a trust and may be used to settle some or all of the RSU grants when they are fully vested. Subsequent to June 30, 2024, 322,165 shares were purchased for $14,710 and placed in the trust. The trust is consolidated in the Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements with the value of the acquired common shares presented as a reduction of share capital.

ATS CORPORATION
Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
    (in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts - unaudited)    

The RSUs issued prior to May 18, 2022 give the employee the right to receive a cash payment based on the market value of a common share of the Company. The RSU liability is recognized quarterly based on the expired portion of the vesting period and the change in the Company’s stock price. The change in the value of the RSU liability is included in the interim condensed consolidated statements of income in the period of the change. At June 30, 2024, the value of the outstanding liability related to the RSU plan was $14,282 (March 31, 2024 - $13,875). The RSU liability is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position.

The cash-settled RSUs vested on June 30, 2024 and were paid subsequent to the end of the period.

Deferred Stock Unit Plan:

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted 43,456 units (three months ended July 2, 2023 - 29,395 units). The Deferred Stock Unit (“DSU”) liability is revalued at each reporting date based on the change in the Company's stock price. The change in the value of the DSU liability is included in the interim condensed consolidated statements of income. As at June 30, 2024, the value of the outstanding liability related to the DSUs was $19,577 (March 31, 2024 - $19,661). The DSU liability is revalued at each reporting date based on the change in the Company’s stock price. The DSU liability is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position. The change in the value of the DSU liability is included in the interim condensed consolidated statements of income in the period of change.

The following table shows the compensation expense related to the Company's share-based payment plans:

The decrease in stock-based compensation costs for the period ended June 30, 2024 is attributable to lower expenses from the revaluation of RSUs that are treated as liability awards and DSUs based on the market price of the Company's shares.

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In accordance with industry practice, the Company is liable to customers for obligations relating to contract completion and timely delivery. In the normal conduct of its operations, the Company may provide letters of credit as security for advances received from customers pending delivery and contract performance. In addition, the Company provides letters of credit for post-retirement obligations and may provide letters of credit as security on equipment under lease and on order. As at June 30, 2024, the total value of outstanding letters of credit was approximately $184,915 (March 31, 2024 - $171,065).

In the normal course of operations, the Company is party to a number of lawsuits, claims and contingencies. Although it is possible that liabilities may be incurred in instances for which no accruals have been made, the Company does not believe that the ultimate outcome of these matters will have a material impact on its interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position.

16. SEGMENTED DISCLOSURE

The Company’s operations are reported as one operating segment, Automation Systems, which plans, allocates resources, builds capabilities and implements best practices on a global basis.

19. EARNINGS PER SHARE    

Basic earnings per share
Earnings per common share is calculated by dividing earnings attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

Diluted earnings per share
The treasury stock method is used to determine the dilutive impact of stock options and RSUs. This method assumes any proceeds from the exercise of stock options and vesting of RSUs would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period.
