Goodwill acquired through historical business combinations has been allocated to groups of CGUs, which are the Company’s operating segments that represent the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. The Company’s CGUs are Canada, the USA, LATAM, and EH. At December 31, 2024, the Company performed its annual goodwill assessment by comparing the carrying value and recoverable amounts for Canada, the USA, and EH operating segments in accordance with IAS 36.10(b). There is no goodwill remaining in the LATAM operating segment as the Company recognized an impairment of $65 million as at December 31, 2023. In assessing whether goodwill has been impaired, the carrying amount of each operating segment (including goodwill) is compared with its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use (“VIU”). The recoverable amounts for the operating segments have been determined based on VIU calculations, using discounted cash flow projections as at December 31, 2024. Management has adopted a five-year projection period to assess each operating segment’s VIU. A two percent terminal value was used in the perpetual growth methodology based on the fifth year. This five-year projection includes the financial budgets approved by the Board for 2025 and Management’s expectations of cash flows for 2026 to 2029. Key Assumptions Used in Value-In-Use Calculations: The Company completed its annual assessment for goodwill impairment and determined that the recoverable amount for Canada, the USA, and EH operating segments exceeded the carrying value using discount rates which ranged from 10.1 percent to 13.6 percent (December 31, 2023 – 9.5 percent to 13.5 percent, January 1, 2023 – 10.7 percent to 15.3 percent) post-tax discount rate. The estimation of VIU involves significant judgment in the determination of inputs to the discounted cash flow model and is most sensitive to changes in cash flow projections, revenue growth rate, operating margins, terminal growth and discount rates. These key assumptions were tested for sensitivity by applying a reasonable possible change to those assumptions. Assumptions include future EBIT changing by 10 percent or the discount rate was changed by one percent. The USA and Canada operating segments have sufficient room as their recoverable amounts are significantly higher than their carrying values, and therefore, the sensitivities will not indicate an impairment. The EH segment is more sensitive to changes in EBIT and the discount rate as follows: • EBIT: Management has made estimates relating to the amount and timing of revenue recognition for projects included in backlog, and the assessment of the likelihood of maintaining and growing market share. A 10 percent change in EBIT in the EH segment would not trigger an impairment. • Discount Rate: Management determines a discount rate for each segment based on the estimated weighted average cost of capital of the Company, using the five-year average of the Company’s peer group debt to total enterprise value, adjusted for a number of risk factors specific to each operating segment. This discount rate has been calculated using an estimated risk-free rate of return adjusted for the Company’s estimated equity market risk premium, the Company’s cost of debt, and the tax rate in the local jurisdiction. A one percent increase in the discount rate in the EH segment would trigger an impairment. Management will continue to assess the long-term projected cash flows, as certain factors may cause a material variance from previously used cash flow projections. Management notes that there is potential for future impairments as interest rates continue to fluctuate, and as the Company gets more visibility regarding future cash flows.
