TEMBEC INC. NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
Quarters and nine months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013 |
(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 28, 2013, except for the changes in accounting policies described below. 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 28, 2013. | |
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on July 31, 2014. | |
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 28, 2013. | |
Changes in accounting policies | |
At the beginning of the fiscal year, the Company adopted the amended IAS 19,Employee Benefits, which changes the recognition and measurement of defined benefit pension plans expense, other benefit plans expense, termination benefits and enhances the disclosure of employee future benefits. The most significant changes include the accounting for past service costs, which are no longer recognized over a service period, but are instead recognized immediately in the period of a plan amendment. In addition, the expected return on plan assets is now assumed to be equal to the discount rate applied to measure the defined benefit obligation. As such, a net interest cost (income) is calculated on the net defined benefit liability (asset). The Company has restated its comparative period results following the adoption of amended IAS 19. |

In March 2012, the Company announced a major capital investment to upgrade its specialty cellulose manufacturing facility in Temiscaming, Quebec. The Company had previously indicated that the total construction cost of the project would be approximately $235 million. During the June 2014 quarter, the Company completed a detailed re-estimation exercise for the project and is now forecasting a total estimated cost of $255 million. As at the end of June 2014, the Company had incurred $232 million of capital expenditures for this project and had $13 million of outstanding commitments. For the nine-month period ended June 28, 2014, the Company had total additions to property, plant and equipment of $113 million, of which $95 million was for the upgrade of the specialty cellulose mill. | |
5. | Operating bank loans |
The Canadian operations are supported by a $175 million asset-based revolving credit facility (ABL). On June 26, 2014, the Company disclosed that it had reached an agreement with existing ABL lenders to amend and extend the facility. The maturity date was extended by one year and is now set to expire in March 2018. The amending agreement provides for a one-year reduction of $15 million in ABL reserves, which increases availability by the same amount. As at June 28, 2014, the amount available, based on eligible receivables and inventories, was $158 million of which $79 million was drawn and $56 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. | |
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 June 2014, the amount available was $25 million of which $8 million was drawn. |

11. | Employee future benefits |
The Company measures its defined benefit obligations and the fair value of plan assets at year-end. At the end of each interim reporting period, the Company estimates changes in its accrued benefit liabilities based upon variations in discount rates and rates of return on plan assets, as well as any significant changes to the plans, if any. | |

The actuarial loss on variation in discount rate recognized in the statement of comprehensive earnings (loss) for the period ended June 28, 2014, was based on a variation of the discount rate for pension plans from 4.60% used at September 28, 2013, to 4.70% at December 28, 2013, 4.34% at March 29, 2014 and 4.16% at June 28, 2014. The actual rate of return for the nine-month period was 12.7% (annualized 16.9%), which is 9.4% higher than the amount recorded in interest income of 3.3% (annualized 4.6%) .
During the March 2014 quarter, the Canadian Institute of Actuaries issued the Canadian Pensioners’ Mortality Table for private sector pension plans. An actuarial loss of $16 million was recorded to reflect the impact of this table on the Canadian pension plans.

Exposure to liquidity risk
The Company has an objective of maintaining liquidity equal to 12 months of maintenance capital expenditures, interest and principal repayments, seasonal working capital requirements and general corporate purposes, which would amount to approximately $135 million to $150 million of liquidity.
Repayment of amounts due within one year is funded by normal collection of current trade accounts receivable. Liquidity in the form of cash, cash equivalents and unused revolving credit facilities is also maintained to assist in the solvency and financial flexibility of the Company. Liquidity as at June 28, 2014, totalled $69 million (September 28, 2013 - $109 million). The Company anticipates that the liquidity will likely remain below its stated objective as the capital expenditures associated with the Temiscaming project continue. In order to address this situation, the Company entered into two secured term loan facilities totalling $133 million of which $10 million is undrawn.
The Company is actively pursuing its BC Land Sales Initiative as well as options to increase liquidity. The Company has an agreement to sell additional parcels for cash proceeds of $20 million. The closing of the transaction is conditional on the purchaser obtaining adequate financing. There can be no assurance that the transaction will be consummated. The Company is also pursuing other alternatives to enhance liquidity including, but not limited to, the potential sale of other assets, the refinancing of existing indebtedness and other capital market initiatives. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts. The Company’s liquidity is also dependent on generating a sufficient amount of adjusted EBITDA and cash flow from operations. These can be significantly impacted by changes to the relative value of the Canadian dollar, product selling prices and the cost of inputs utilized in manufacturing processes. Based on existing liquidity, current initiatives to obtain additional liquidity and anticipated future operating cash flow, the Company believes that it will be able to adequately fund its operations and meet its future obligations as they become due. This determination could be impacted by economic, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors, as well as other events, that are beyond the Company’s control.

13. | Capital management |
The Company’s long-term objective is to maintain the net debt to total capitalization ratio at 40% or less. The net debt to total capitalization ratio of the Company was 59% as at June 28, 2014 (September 28, 2013 – 52%). The increase was due to a higher debt borrowed 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. |
