TEMBEC INC. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION |
Quarters ended December 29, 2012 and December 24, 2011 |
(unaudited) (in millions of Canadian dollars) |
The Company operates an integrated forest products business, which is managed in four segments. During the December 2012 quarter, the Company reorganized its internal reporting structure. The High-Yield Pulp segment was renamed the Paper Pulp segment and now includes the chemical pulp mill that was previously part of the Specialty Cellulose and Chemical Pulp segment. The latter was then renamed the Specialty Cellulose Pulp segment. The Forest Products and the Paper segments were unaffected by the organizational changes. The segments are:
- The Forest Products segment consists primarily of forest and sawmills operations, which produce lumber and building materials.
- The Specialty Cellulose Pulp segment consists primarily of manufacturing and marketing activities of specialty cellulose including the transformation and sale of resins and pulp by-products. A significant portion of chemical products sales are related to by-products generated by the two specialty cellulose pulp mills.
- The Paper Pulp segment includes the manufacturing and marketing activities of high-yield pulps and chemical pulps.
- The Paper segment consists primarily of production and sales of coated bleached board and newsprint.
Intersegment transfers of wood chips, pulp and other services are recorded at transfer prices agreed to by the parties, which are intended to approximate fair market value. The basis of presentation and the accounting policies used in these business segments are the same as those described in note 2 and 3 of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 29, 2012. Comparative prior period segment information has been restated to conform with the new segment presentation.
The performance of each segment is evaluated by management of the Company against short-term and long-term financial objectives as well as environmental, safety and other key criteria. The financial performance is measured based on earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other specific or non-recurring items (adjusted EBITDA). This measure is included in the internal reports that are reviewed by senior management. Segment adjusted EBITDA is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating financial results relative to other entities that operate within similar businesses. Net finance costs and income tax are not allocated to operating segments.

TEMBEC INC. NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
(unaudited) (in millions of Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted) |
1. | Reporting entity and nature of operations |
Tembec Inc. (the “Corporation”) and its subsidiaries (collectively “Tembec” or the “Company”) operate an integrated forest products business. | |
The Corporation is incorporated and domiciled in Canada and listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol TMB. The address of the Company's registered office is 800 René- Lévesque Blvd. West, Suite 1050, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, H3B 1X9. | |
2. | Basis of presentation |
Statement of compliance | |
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 – Interim Financial Reporting. | |
The accounting policies and the basis of presentation applied in these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 29, 2012. During the quarter ended December 29, 2012, the Company reclassified certain assets and liabilities as held for sale as explained in note 4. Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual profit or loss. The Company’s interim results are not necessarily indicative of its results for a full year. | |
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 29, 2012. | |
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on January 31, 2013. | |
Accounting estimates and judgments | |
The preparation of unaudited interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from those estimates. | |
In preparing these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Company`s significant accounting policies and key sources of information were the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 29, 2012. | |

4. | Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale |
The current period balance sheet classifies the assets and liabilities related to the Skookumchuck Northern Bleached Softwood Kraft (NBSK) pulp mill as held for sale since these are expected to be recovered primarily through sale rather than continuing use. This reclassification is required as the Company is currently engaged in a formal sales process and expects to sell the facility within the twelve-month time frame specified under IFRS rules. | |
The non-current assets reclassified as held for sale have to be measured at the lower of the carrying amount and the fair value less cost to sell. The Company did not record an impairment related to these assets upon reclassification as held for sale. As at December 29, 2012, the Skookumchuck pulp mill comprised assets of $141 million less liabilities of $32 million. |

6. | Operating bank loans |
On March 4, 2011, the Company entered into a new $200 million asset-based revolving five-year working capital facility (ABL) expiring in February 2016. The facility has a first priority charge over the receivables and inventories of the Company’s Canadian operations. As at December 29, 2012, the amount available, based on eligible receivables and inventories, was $136 million of which $66 million was drawn and $48 million was reserved for letters of credit. Interest is calculated based either on the BA Rate, the LIBOR, the Canadian Prime Rate or the U.S. Base Rate, as the case may be, plus an applicable margin. | |
In April 2011, the Ontario Court of Appeal rendered a decision in the restructuring proceedings involving Indalex Limited under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA). The Court of Appeal held that defined benefit pension plan deficiency claims could have priority over prior registered security interests in accounts receivable and inventory of Ontario pension plan sponsors. This decision is currently being appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada. In November 2012, the agent for the ABL lender’s syndicate expressed concern regarding the Company’s Ontario defined benefit plan solvency deficits. In light of the uncertainty surrounding the Indalex decision, the agent indicated that the lenders would likely establish a borrowing base reserve if the Company requested any further utilization of the ABL facility before the priority issue was satisfactorily resolved by the Supreme Court of Canada. The Company is currently under discussions with the ABL agent regarding this situation. | |
The French operations are supported by “receivable factoring” agreements. As such, the borrowing base fluctuates periodically, depending on shipments and cash receipts. At the end of December 2012, the amount available was $15 million of which $ 3 million was drawn. | |
The Company’s exposure to liquidity risk is disclosed in note 14. | |
7. | Long-term debt |
This note provides information about the contractual terms of the Company’s long- term interest-bearing loans and borrowings, which are measured at amortized cost. |

In connection with the specialty cellulose project in Temiscaming, Quebec, the Company entered into a $75 million term loan facility, bearing interest at 5.5% . The loan has a 15-year term consisting of a three-year construction or drawdown period followed by a 12-year amortization period. The term of the loan will be shortened by three years if the Company does not complete certain future capital expenditures at the Temiscaming specialty cellulose mill. The loan is secured by a second ranking charge on the project assets. During the quarter, the Company received three tranches totalling $24 million on the term loan.
The Company’s credit agreements contain covenants that could in certain circumstances restrict the ability of the Company to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, to encumber or dispose of its assets or make certain payments or distributions.

The warrants and employees share options had no dilutive effect for the above periods; however, these securities could potentially dilute earnings per share in future periods.
Warrants
In connection with the $75 million term loan facility, the Company has granted the lender an option to acquire 3 million common shares of the Corporation at a price of $7 per share. The warrants expire on August 30, 2017. During the December 2012 quarter, concurrently with the first disbursement under the term loan facility, the estimated value of the warrants was determined to be $3 million.

Under the prior Long-Term Incentive Plan, the Company had, from time to time, granted options to its employees.

These options vest over a five-year period and expire ten years from the date of issue. | |

14. | Financial instruments |
Fair value | |
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade and other receivables, bank indebtedness, operating bank loans, trade, other payables and accrued charges, and interest payable approximates their fair values because of the near-term maturity of those instruments. The carrying value of the long-term loans receivable and other long-term liabilities also approximates their fair values. | |
The carrying value and the fair value of long-term debt are as follows: |
Dec. 29, | Sept. 29, | ||||||
2012 | 2012 | ||||||
Carrying value | $ | 364 | $ | 339 | |||
Fair value | $ | 403 | $ | 369 |
The fair value of the senior secured notes was estimated using quoted market prices; the fair value of the other long-term debt was estimated based on discounted cash flows using period-end market yields of similar instruments having the same maturity.
Derivative financial instruments are the only financial instruments of the Company measured at fair value on a recurring basis and have been valued in accordance with Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, which is based on unadjusted quoted prices in an active market. The Company had a negligible amount of derivative financial instruments at December 29, 2012 (September 29, 2012 –nil).

14. | Financial instruments (continued) |
Exposure to liquidity risk | |
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company has an objective of maintaining liquidity equal to 12 months of maintenance capital expenditures, interest and principal repayments and seasonal working capital requirements, which would require approximately $135 million to $150 million of liquidity. | |
A liquidity reserve in the form of cash, cash equivalents and undrawn revolving credit facilities is maintained to assist in the solvency and financial flexibility of the Company. Liquidity reserves as at December 29, 2012, totalled $91 million. The decrease in liquidity was anticipated as the Company continued with its capital expenditure program. Liquidity is also being negatively impacted by the significant solvency contributions that are being made to fund defined benefit pension plans. In order to address this situation, the Company is assessing several liquidity enhancing initiatives such as reducing or delaying capital expenditures, asset sales and seeking other sources of financing or funding. Repayment of amounts due within one year may also be funded by normal collection of current trade accounts receivable and cash on hand. | |
In April 2011, the Ontario Court of Appeal rendered a decision in the restructuring proceedings involving Indalex Limited under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA). The Court of Appeal held that defined benefit pension plan deficiency claims could have priority over prior registered security interests in accounts receivable and inventory of Ontario pension plan sponsors. This decision is currently being appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada. In November 2012, the agent for the ABL lender’s syndicate expressed concern regarding the Company’s Ontario defined benefit plan solvency deficits. In light of the uncertainty surrounding the Indalex decision, the agent indicated that the lenders would likely establish a borrowing base reserve if the Company requested any further utilization of the ABL facility before the priority issue was satisfactorily resolved by the Supreme Court of Canada. | |
The Company is currently under discussions with the ABL agent regarding this situation. The ruling of the Supreme Court of Canada is expected in the near term and the Company anticipates it will resolve the situation. The Company’s liquidity position at December 29, 2012, includes $22 million related to the unutilized portion of the ABL. | |

15. | Capital management |
It is the Company’s objective to manage its capital to ensure adequate capital resources exist to support operations while maintaining its business growth. The Company sets the amount of capital in proportion to risk. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk of characteristics of the underlying assets. | |
The Company monitors capital on the basis of net debt to total capitalization ratio. Net debt is calculated as a total debt (long-term debt plus bank indebtedness and operating bank loans) less cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. | |
Total capitalization includes net debt plus provisions, accrued benefit liability, deferred income taxes, other long-term liabilities, and shareholders’ equity. | |
The Company’s strategy is to maintain the net debt to total capitalization ratio at 40% or less. The objective is to keep a strong balance sheet and maintain the ability of the Company to access capital markets at favourable rates. The net debt to total capitalization ratio of the Company was 50% as at December 29, 2012 (September 29, 2012 – 45%). The increase was due to a decrease in cash balances, combined with higher debt due primarily to finance the Temiscaming specialty cellulose project. The Company anticipates that the net debt to total capitalization ratio will remain in excess of its target until the Temiscaming project is completed and begins to generate the projected incremental adjusted EBITDA. | |
There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the period. |
