Summary of Material Accounting Policies | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 3. Summary of Material Accounting Policies (a) Joint Arrangements The classification of joint arrangements considers the contractual rights and obligations of each investor and whether the legal structure of the joint arrangement gives the entity direct rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities. (b) Foreign Currency Translation Functional currencies of the company’s individual entities are the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the appropriate functional currency at foreign exchange rates that approximate those on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the appropriate functional currency at foreign exchange rates as at the balance sheet date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognized in net earnings. Non-monetary assets that are measured in a foreign currency at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. In preparing the company’s consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of each entity are translated into Canadian dollars. The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars at exchange rates as at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars using foreign exchange rates that approximate those on the date of the underlying transaction. Foreign exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. If the company or any of its entities disposes of its entire interest in a foreign operation, or loses control, joint control or significant influence over a foreign operation, the accumulated foreign currency translation gains or losses related to the foreign operation are recognized in net earnings. (c) Revenues Revenue from the sale of crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids, purchased products, refined petroleum products and power represent the company’s contractual arrangements with customers. Revenue is recorded when control passes to the customer, in accordance with specified contract terms. All operating revenue is earned at a point in time and is based on the consideration that the company expects to receive for the transfer of the goods to the customer. Revenues are usually collected in the month following delivery except retail gasoline, diesel and ancillary products, which are due upon delivery and, accordingly, the company does not adjust consideration for the effects of a financing component. International operations conducted pursuant to Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs) are reflected in the consolidated financial statements based on the company’s working interest. Each PSC establishes the exploration, development and operating costs the company is required to fund and terms for the company to recover these costs and to share in the production profits. Cost recovery is generally limited to a specified percentage of production during each year (Cost Recovery Oil). Any Cost Recovery Oil remaining after costs have been recovered is referred to as Excess Petroleum and is shared between the company and the respective government. Assuming collection is reasonably assured, the company records revenue when the sale of product to a third party occurs. Revenue also includes income taxes paid on the company’s behalf by government joint partners. (d) Inventories Inventories of crude oil and refined products, other than inventories held for trading purposes, are valued at the lower of cost, using the first-in, first-out method, and net realizable value. Cost of inventory consists of purchase costs, direct production costs, direct overhead and depreciation, depletion and amortization. Materials and supplies are valued at the lower of average cost and net realizable value. Inventories held for trading purposes are carried at fair value less costs to sell and any changes in fair value are recognized in Other Income within the respective reporting segment to which the trading activity relates. (e) Exploration and Evaluation Assets The costs to acquire non-producing oil and gas properties or licences to explore, drill exploratory wells and the costs to evaluate the commercial potential of underlying resources, including related borrowing costs, are initially capitalized as Exploration and Evaluation assets. Certain exploration costs, including geological, geophysical and seismic expenditures and delineation on oil sands properties, are charged to Exploration expense as incurred. Exploration and Evaluation assets are subject to technical, commercial and management review to confirm the continued intent to develop and extract the underlying resources. If an area or exploration well is no longer considered commercially viable, the related capitalized costs are expensed. When management determines with reasonable certainty that an Exploration and Evaluation asset will be developed, as evidenced by the classification of proved or probable reserves and the appropriate internal and external approvals, the asset is transferred to Property, Plant and Equipment. (f) Property, Plant and Equipment The costs to acquire and to develop oil and gas properties, including completing geological and geophysical surveys and drilling development wells, and the costs to construct and install development infrastructure, such as wellhead equipment, well platforms, well pairs, offshore platforms, subsea structures and an estimate of asset retirement costs, are capitalized as oil and gas properties within Property, Plant and Equipment. The costs to construct, install and commission, or acquire, oil and gas production equipment, including oil sands upgraders, extraction plants, mine equipment, processing and power generation facilities, utility plants, and all renewable energy, refining, and marketing assets, are capitalized as plant and equipment within Property, Plant and Equipment. Stripping activity required to access oil sands mining resources incurred in the initial development phase is capitalized as part of the construction cost of the mine. Stripping costs incurred in the production phase are charged to expense as they normally relate to production for the current period. The costs of planned major inspection, overhaul and turnaround activities that maintain Property, Plant and Equipment and benefit future years of operations are capitalized. Recurring planned maintenance activities performed on shorter intervals are expensed as operating costs. Replacements outside of a major inspection, overhaul or turnaround are capitalized when it is probable that future economic benefits will be realized by the company and the associated carrying amount of the replaced component is derecognized. Borrowing costs relating to assets that take over one year to construct are capitalized as part of the asset. Capitalization of borrowing costs ceases when the asset is in the location and condition necessary for its intended use, and is suspended when construction of an asset is ceased for extended periods. (g) Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization Exploration and Evaluation assets are not subject to depreciation, depletion and amortization. Once transferred to oil and gas properties within Property, Plant and Equipment and commercial production commences, these costs are depleted on a unit-of-production basis over proved developed reserves, with the exception of costs associated with oil sands mines, which are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the life of the mine, and property acquisition costs, which are depleted over proved reserves. Capital expenditures are not depreciated or depleted until assets are substantially complete and ready for their intended use. Costs to develop oil and gas properties other than certain oil sands mining assets, including costs of dedicated infrastructure, such as well pads and wellhead equipment, are depleted on a unit-of-production basis over proved developed reserves. A portion of these costs may not be depleted if they relate to undeveloped reserves. Costs related to offshore facilities are depleted over proved and probable reserves. Costs to develop and construct oil sands mines are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the life of the mine. Major components of Property, Plant and Equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives. Oil sands upgraders, extraction plants and mine facilities 10 to 40 years Oil sands mine equipment 5 to 15 years Oil sands in situ processing facilities 30 years Power generation and utility plants 30 to 40 years Refineries and other processing plants 20 to 40 years Marketing and other distribution assets 10 to 40 years The costs of major inspection, overhaul and turnaround activities that are capitalized are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the period to the next scheduled activity, which varies from two Depreciation, depletion and amortization rates are reviewed annually or when events or conditions occur that impact capitalized costs, reserves or estimated service lives. Right-of-use assets within Property, Plant and Equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the right-of-use asset or the lease term. (h) Impairment of Assets Non-Financial Assets Property, Plant and Equipment and Exploration and Evaluation assets are reviewed quarterly to assess whether there is any indication of impairment. Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are tested for impairment annually. Exploration and Evaluation assets are also tested for impairment immediately prior to being transferred to Property, Plant and Equipment. If any indication of impairment exists, an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount is calculated as the higher of the fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are considered, if available. In the absence of such transactions, an appropriate valuation model is used. Value-in-use is assessed using the present value of the expected future cash flows of the relevant asset. If the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, the asset is tested as part of a cash generating unit (CGU), which is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. An impairment loss is the amount by which the carrying amount of the individual asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairments may be reversed for all CGUs and individual assets, other than goodwill, if there has been a change in the estimates and judgments used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If such indication exists, the carrying amount of the CGU or asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, which cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depletion, depreciation and amortization, had no impairment been recognized. Impairments and impairment reversals are recognized within Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Impairment. Financial Assets At each reporting date, the company assesses the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets measured at amortized cost. Expected credit losses are measured as the difference between the cash flows that are due to the company and the cash flows that the company expects to receive, discounted at the effective interest rate determined at initial recognition. For trade accounts receivables, the company applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (i) Provisions Provisions are recognized for decommissioning and restoration obligations associated with the company’s Exploration and Evaluation assets and Property, Plant and Equipment. Provisions for decommissioning and restoration obligations are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the future cash flows required to settle the present obligation, using the credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. The value of the obligation is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset and amortized over the useful life of the asset. The provision is accreted over time through Financing Expense with actual expenditures charged against the accumulated obligation. Changes in the future cash flow estimates resulting from revisions to the estimated timing or amount of undiscounted cash flows are recognized as a change in the decommissioning and restoration provision and related asset. (j) Income Taxes The company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes whereby deferred income taxes are recorded for the effect of differences between the accounting and income tax basis of an asset or liability. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantively enacted income tax rates as at the balance sheet date that are anticipated to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Changes to these balances are recognized in net earnings or in other comprehensive income in the period they occur. Investment tax credits are recorded as a reduction to the related expenditures. The company recognizes the impact of a tax filing position when it is probable, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon audit. If it is determined a tax filing position is not considered probable, the company assesses the possible outcomes and their associated probabilities and records a tax provision based on the best estimate of the amount of tax payable. (k) Pensions and Other Post-Retirement Benefits The company sponsors defined benefit pension plans, defined contribution pension plans and other post-retirement benefits. The cost of pension benefits earned by employees in the defined contribution pension plan is expensed as incurred. The cost of defined benefit pension plans and other post-retirement benefits are actuarially determined using the projected unit credit method based on present pay levels and management’s best estimates of demographic and financial assumptions. The liability recognized on the balance sheet is the present value of the defined benefit obligations less the fair value of plan assets. The value of plan assets is limited to the total of unrecognized past service cost and the present value of the economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan (“effect of the asset ceiling”). Any surplus is immediately recognized in other comprehensive income. In addition, a minimum liability is recognized when the statutory minimum funding requirement for past service exceeds the economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. Pension benefits earned during the current year are recorded in Operating, Selling and General expense. Interest costs on the net unfunded obligation are recorded in Financing Expense. Any actuarial gains or losses related to the plan assets and the defined benefit obligation, as well as the change in the asset ceiling and any minimum liability, are recognized immediately through other comprehensive income and transferred directly to retained earnings. (l) Emissions Obligations and Rights Emissions obligations are measured at the weighted average cost per unit of emissions expected to be incurred to settle the obligation and are recorded in the period in which the emissions occur within Operating, Selling and General expense, or Purchases. Purchases of emissions rights are recognized as Other Assets on the balance sheet and are measured at historical cost. Emissions rights received by way of grant are recorded at a nominal amount. (m) Leases The company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of twelve months or less. The lease payments are recognized as an expense when incurred over the lease term. As well, the company has accounted for each lease component and any non-lease components as a single lease component for crude oil storage tanks. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the future lease payments, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments include fixed payments, as well as variable payments that are based on an index or rate. The company has lease contracts that include storage tanks, pipelines, railway cars, vessels, buildings, land, and mobile equipment. |

Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments | |
Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments | 4. Significant and Other Accounting Estimates and Judgments The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect reported assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, gains, losses and disclosures of contingencies. These estimates and judgments are subject to change based on experience and new information. Climate Change Suncor supports the goals of the Paris Agreement and is committed to achieving the long-term objective of net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from its operations by 2050, including those in which it has a working interest. Addressing climate change and providing the secure, affordable and reliable energy the world needs requires investment, technological advancement, product innovation, regulatory support and collaborative partnerships, such as the Pathways Alliance. The rate of change of public policy, consumer behaviour and resulting demand for low-carbon options is not certain. Suncor is committed to reducing emissions in our base business, while expanding in complementary low-emissions businesses and working with our customers, governments and partners to realize our shared climate objectives. Climate change and the transition to a low-emissions economy was considered in preparing the consolidated financial statements, primarily in estimating commodity prices used in impairment and reserves analysis. These may have significant impacts on the currently reported amounts of the company’s assets and liabilities discussed below and on similar assets and liabilities that may be recognized in the future. As part of its ongoing business planning, Suncor estimates future costs associated with GHG emissions in its operations and in the evaluation of future projects. The company uses future climate scenarios to test and assess the resilience of its strategy. Changes in market and regulatory conditions and assumptions, as well as climate change, and the evolving worldwide demand for energy and global advancement of alternative sources of energy that are not sourced from fossil fuels, can materially impact the estimation of net reserves, asset valuation and reclamation and timing and requirements. The timing and pace at which global energy markets transition from carbon-based sources to alternative energy is highly uncertain. Oil and Gas Reserves The company’s estimate of oil and gas reserves is considered in the measurement of depletion, depreciation, impairment, decommissioning and restoration obligations and business combinations. The estimation of reserves is an inherently complex process and involves professional judgment. All reserves have been evaluated at December 31, 2023, by independent qualified reserves evaluators. Oil and gas reserves estimates are based on a range of geological, technical and economic factors, including projected future rates of production, projected future commodity prices, engineering data, and the timing and amount of future expenditures, all of which are subject to uncertainty. Estimates reflect market and regulatory conditions existing at December 31, 2023, which could differ significantly from other points in time throughout the year, or future periods. Exploration and Evaluation Costs Certain exploration and evaluation costs are initially capitalized with the intent to establish commercially viable reserves. The company is required to make judgments about future events and circumstances and applies estimates to assess the economic viability of extracting the underlying resources. The costs are subject to technical, commercial and management review to confirm the continued intent to develop the project. The level of drilling success or changes to project economics, resource quantities, expected production techniques, production costs and required capital expenditures are important judgments when making this determination. Management uses judgment to determine when these costs are reclassified to Property, Plant and Equipment based on several factors, including the existence of reserves, appropriate approvals from regulatory bodies, joint arrangement partners and the company’s internal project approval process. Determination of Cash Generating Units (CGUs) A CGU is the lowest grouping of integrated assets that generates identifiable cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets. The allocation of assets into CGUs requires significant judgment and interpretations with respect to the integration between assets, the existence of active markets, similar exposure to market risks, shared infrastructure and the way in which management monitors the operations. Asset Impairment and Reversals Management applies judgment in assessing the existence of impairment and impairment reversal indicators based on various internal and external factors. The recoverable amount of CGUs and individual assets is determined based on the higher of fair value less costs of disposal or value-in-use calculations. The key estimates the company applies to determine the recoverable amount normally include estimated future commodity prices, discount rates, expected production volumes, future operating and development costs, income taxes and refining margins. In determining the recoverable amount, management may also be required to make judgments regarding the likelihood of occurrence of a future event. Changes to these estimates and judgments will affect the recoverable amounts of CGUs and individual assets and may then require a material adjustment to their related carrying value. Decommissioning and Restoration Costs The company recognizes liabilities for the future decommissioning and restoration of Exploration and Evaluation assets and Property, Plant and Equipment based on estimated future decommissioning and restoration costs. Management applies judgment in assessing the future regulatory requirements, the existence and extent as well as the expected method of reclamation of the company’s decommissioning and restoration obligations at the end of each reporting period. Management also uses judgment to determine whether the nature of the activities performed is related to decommissioning and restoration activities or normal operating activities. Actual costs are uncertain, and estimates may vary as a result of changes to relevant laws and regulations related to the use of certain technologies, the emergence of new technology, operating experience, prices and closure plans. The estimated timing of future decommissioning and restoration may change due to certain factors, including reserves life. Changes to estimates related to future expected costs, discount rates, inflation assumptions and timing may have a material impact on the amounts presented. Employee Future Benefits The company provides benefits to employees, including pensions and other post-retirement benefits. The cost of defined benefit pension plans and other post-retirement benefits received by employees is estimated based on actuarial valuation methods that require professional judgment. Estimates typically used in determining these amounts include, as applicable, rates of employee turnover, future claim costs, discount rates, future salary and benefit levels, the return on plan assets, mortality rates and future medical costs. Changes to these estimates may have a material impact on the amounts presented. Income Taxes Management evaluates tax positions, annually or when circumstances require, which involves judgment and could be subject to differing interpretations of applicable tax legislation. The company recognizes a tax provision when a payment to tax authorities is considered probable. However, the results of audits and reassessments and changes in the interpretations of standards may result in changes to those positions and, potentially, a material increase or decrease in the company’s assets, liabilities and net earnings. |

Segmented Information | |
Segmented Information | 6. Segmented Information The company’s operating segments are reported based on the nature of their products and services and management responsibility. The following summary describes the operations in each of the segments: ● Oil Sands includes the company’s operations in Northern Alberta to explore, develop and produce bitumen, synthetic crude oil and related products, through the recovery and upgrading of bitumen from mining and in situ operations. This segment also includes the company’s joint interests in Syncrude and Fort Hills. In 2023, the company completed two separate acquisitions of additional working interests in the Fort Hills mining and extraction operation, increasing its ownership from 54.11% to 100% (see note 16). The individual operating segments related to mining operations, In Situ, Fort Hills and Syncrude have been aggregated into one reportable segment (Oil Sands) due to the similar nature of their business activities, including the production of bitumen, and the single geographic area and regulatory environment in which they operate. ● Exploration and Production (E&P) includes offshore activity in East Coast Canada, with interests in the Terra Nova, White Rose, Hibernia and Hebron oilfields, as well as the marketing and risk management of crude oil and natural gas. International onshore assets include the company’s working interests in Libya and Syria. Suncor completed the divestments of its United Kingdom (U.K.) portfolio and Norway assets in 2023 and 2022, respectively (see note 16). ● Refining and Marketing includes the refining of crude oil products, and the distribution, marketing, transportation and risk management of refined and petrochemical products, and other purchased products through the retail and wholesale networks located in Canada and the United States (U.S.). The segment also includes trading of crude oil, refined products, natural gas and power. The company also reports activities not directly attributable to an operating segment under Corporate and Eliminations. This segment previously included renewable energy assets, which were sold in the first quarter of 2023 (see note 16). Corporate activities include Suncor’s debt and borrowing costs, expenses not allocated to the company’s businesses, and investments in certain clean technologies.

Asset Transactions and Impairments | 16. Asset Transactions and Impairments No indicators of impairment or reversals of impairment were identified at December 31, 2023. Oil Sands Acquisition of Additional Ownership Interest in Fort Hills: On February 2, 2023, Suncor completed the acquisition of an additional 14.65% working interest in Fort Hills from Teck Resources Limited (Teck) for $712 million, bringing the company’s working interest in Fort Hills to 68.76% . The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method. ($ millions) Accounts receivable 35 Inventory 37 Property, plant and equipment 1 149 Other assets (1) 6 Total assets acquired 1 227 Accounts payable and other liabilities (102) Lease liabilities (284) Decommissioning provision (83) Deferred income taxes (46) Total liabilities assumed (515) Net assets acquired 712 (1) Other assets include $3 million of cash and cash equivalents. The fair values of accounts receivables and accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. The fair value of materials and supplies inventory approximates book value due to short-term turnover rates. The fair values of property, plant and equipment and the decommissioning provision were determined using an expected future cash flow approach (Level 3 fair value inputs – note 27). Key assumptions used in the calculations were discount rates, forecasted production volumes, commodity prices (including foreign exchange rates), operating costs and capital costs (“forecasted cash flow assumptions”). The additional 14.65% working interest in Fort Hills contributed $501 million to gross revenues and $22 million net earnings to consolidated net earnings from the acquisition date to December 31, 2023. Had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2023, the additional working interest would have contributed an additional $20 million to gross revenues and a $21 million net loss, which would have resulted in gross revenues of $52.2 billion and consolidated net earnings of $8.3 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023. The proforma information is not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been obtained if the Teck acquisition had actually occurred on January 1, 2023. Acquisition of TotalEnergies EP Canada Ltd. and Remaining Working Interest in Fort Hills: On November 20, 2023, Suncor completed the acquisition of TotalEnergies EP Canada Ltd. (TotalEnergies Canada), which held the remaining 31.23% working interest in Fort Hills, for a purchase price of $1.468 billion before working capital, closing adjustments and other closing costs, making Suncor the sole owner of Fort Hills. The effective date of the transaction was April 1, 2023. The determination of fair value of the preliminary purchase price is based on management’s best estimate as of the closing date. The following table summarizes the fair value of the net assets acquired: ($ millions) Cash 150 Accounts receivable 521 Inventory 180 Property, plant and equipment 2 361 Deferred income taxes 1 084 Total assets acquired 4 296 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (527) Lease liabilities (347) Decommissioning provision (392) Total liabilities assumed (1 266) Net assets acquired 3 030 The acquisition has been accounted for as a step business combination using the acquisition method pursuant to IFRS 3. Under the acquisition method, assets and liabilities are recorded at their fair values on the date of acquisition. In addition, when an acquirer achieves control in stages, the previously held interest is re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date with a gain or loss recognized in net earnings. The fair values of accounts receivables and accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. The fair value of inventory was determined using market prices and rates from available pricing sources. The fair values of property, plant and equipment and the decommissioning provision were determined using an expected future cash flow approach (Level 3 fair value inputs – note 27). Key assumptions used in the calculations were discount rates, forecasted production volumes, commodity prices (including foreign exchange rates), operating costs and capital costs (“forecasted cash flow assumptions”). The deferred income tax asset recognized as a result of the acquisition of TotalEnergies Canada involves numerous assumptions made by management and the interpretation of the tax laws applicable to the circumstances surrounding the historical tax positions taken by, and acquisition of, TotalEnergies Canada. The previously held interest in Fort Hills has been re-measured to fair value and estimated to be $3.887 billion and the net carrying value of the Fort Hills assets was $3.904 billion. The company recognized a non-cash revaluation loss of its existing interest of $17 million in other income in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. ($ millions) Total consideration (1) 1 832 Net assets acquired (3 030) Bargain purchase gain (1 198) Revaluation loss on existing interest 17 Fair value of pre-existing relationship 56 Bargain purchase gain and revaluations (note 7) (1 125) (1) Total consideration includes working capital as at April 1, 2023. Acquisition costs of $12 million, have been charged to operating, selling and general expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The acquisition of TotalEnergies Canada contributed $148 million to gross revenues and $18 million net earnings to consolidated net earnings from the acquisition date to December 31, 2023. Had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2023, TotalEnergies Canada would have contributed an additional $1.1 billion to gross revenues and $71 million to net earnings, which would have resulted in gross revenues of $53.3 billion and consolidated net earnings of $8.4 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023. The proforma information is not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been obtained if the TotalEnergies Canada acquisition had actually occurred on January 1, 2023. As part of the acquisition, the company assumed various pipeline commitments and ancillary assets, including the remaining capacity on a regional pipeline, which has been recognized accordingly as an ROU asset in property plant and equipment and long-term lease liability. Exploration and Production Sale of United Kingdom Operations: During the second quarter of 2023, the company completed the sale of its U.K. operations, including its interests in Buzzard and Rosebank located in the U.K. sector of the North Sea, for gross proceeds of $1.1 billion, before closing adjustments and other closing costs, resulting in an after-tax gain on sale of $607 million ( $607 million before-tax), including $25 million in foreign exchange gains recognized as a result of the disposal. The U.K. operations are reported within the Exploration and Production segment. Corporate Sale of Wind and Solar Assets: During the first quarter of 2023, the company completed the sale of its wind and solar assets (Forty Mile, Adelaide, Magrath and Chin Chute) for gross proceeds of $730 million, before closing adjustments and other closing costs, resulting in an after-tax gain on sale of approximately $260 million ( $302 million before-tax). The wind and solar assets were reported in the Corporate segment. Asset Impairments and Transactions in 2022 No indicators of impairment or reversals of impairment were identified at December 31, 2022. Oil Sands Fort Hills assets: During the fourth quarter of 2022, the company entered into an agreement to acquire Teck’s 21.3% interest in Fort Hills. Prior to entering the agreement with Teck, the company also updated its long-range plan for Fort Hills, which incorporated lower gross production and increased operating costs per barrel for the next three years . Management considered these indicators of impairment and performed an asset impairment test using recoverable amounts based on fair value less costs of disposal. An impairment charge of $2.6 billion (net of taxes of $0.8 billion) was recognized on its share of Fort Hills in the Oil Sands segment in the third quarter of 2022. An expected cash flow approach with the following asset specific assumptions (Level 3 fair value inputs note 27) were applied: ● Western Canada Select (WCS) price forecast of US $69.00 /bbl in 2023, US $62.00 /bbl in 2024, and an average price of US $50.00 /bbl between 2025 and 2031, escalating at 2% per year thereafter over the life of the project up to 2060, adjusted for asset-specific location and quality differentials; ● the company’s share of production ranging from 87,000 bbls/d to 106,000 bbls/d over the life of the project; ● cash operating costs averaging approximately $25.00 /bbl over the life of the project (expressed in real dollars), which reflects operating, selling and general expenses adjusted for non-production costs, including share-based compensation, research costs, and excess power revenue; ● foreign exchange rate of US $0.76 per one Canadian dollar; and ● risk adjusted discount rate of 8.25% (after-tax). The recoverable amount of the Fort Hills CGU was $2.8 billion (net of taxes) as at September 30, 2022. The recoverable amount estimate is most sensitive to price and discount rate. A 5% average decrease in price over the life of the project would have resulted in an additional impairment charge of approximately $1.0 billion (after-tax) on the company’s share of the Fort Hills assets. A 1% increase in the discount rate would have resulted in an additional impairment charge of approximately $0.2 billion (after-tax) on the company’s share of the Fort Hills assets. Exploration and Production White Rose assets: In the second quarter of 2022, the company announced that concurrent with the decision to restart the West White Rose project by the joint venture owners, Suncor increased its ownership in the White Rose asset by 12.5% to approximately 39% (previously approximately 26% ). The decision to restart was driven by a revised royalty structure and development plan. The company received $38 million (net of taxes of $12 million) in cash consideration to acquire the additional working interest, which was primarily allocated to the asset retirement obligation and property, plant and equipment of the project. As a result of these events, during the second quarter of 2022, the company performed an impairment reversal test on the White Rose CGU as the recoverable amount of this CGU was sensitive to the restart decision. The impairment reversal test was performed using a recoverable amount based on the fair value less cost of disposal. An expected cash flow approach was used with the key assumptions discussed below (Level 3 fair value inputs note 27). As a result of the impairment reversal test, the recoverable amounts were determined to be greater than the carrying values of the White Rose CGU and the company recorded an impairment reversal of $542 million (net of taxes of $173 million) on its previous share of the White Rose assets in the Exploration and Production segment. The recoverable amount was determined based on the following asset-specific assumptions: ● Brent price forecast of US $85.00 /bbl in 2023, US $68.00 in 2024 and US $69.00 in 2025, escalating at 2% per year thereafter over the life of the project to 2038 and adjusted for asset-specific location and quality differentials; ● anticipated first oil for the West White Rose project in the first half of 2026 and the company’s share of production of approximately 9,800 bbls/d (based on its previous working interest of approximately 26% ) over the life of the project; ● the company’s share of future capital expenditures of $1.5 billion, including the West White Rose expansion; and ● risk-adjusted discount rate of 9.0% (after-tax). Norway assets: During the third quarter of 2022, the company completed the sale of its Norway assets, including its 30% working interest in Oda and its 17.5% working interest in the Fenja Development Joint Operations, for net proceeds of $297 million (net of cash disposed of $133 million), resulting in a $65 million loss including foreign exchange impacts. The Norway assets are reported in the Exploration and Production segment. The company reclassified the assets and liabilities related to its Norway operations as assets held for sale and performed an impairment test on the Norway assets held for sale as at June 30, 2022. The impairment test was performed using the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell (Level 2 fair value inputs note 27). As a result of the impairment test, the company recorded a $47 million charge related to its share of the Norway operations, net of a $23 million deferred tax adjustment. |

As such, acquisitions include 100% of the fair value of ROU assets related to the TotalEnergies Canada acquisition, including the reevaluations of the existing working interest and the remaining capacity on a regional pipeline. (2) Disposals primarily relate to early lease terminations. Other lease-related items recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income: There were no leases with residual value guarantees. For the year ended December 31, 2023, total cash outflow for leases, excluding short-term lease expense and variable lease expense, was $529 million (2022 – $496 million). |

Recoverable amounts were based on fair value less costs of disposal calculated using the present value of the segment’s expected future cash flows. Cash flow forecasts are based on past experience, historical trends, third-party evaluations of the company’s reserves and resources to estimate production profiles and volumes, and estimates of operating costs, maintenance and capital expenditures. These estimates are validated against the estimates approved through the company’s annual reserves evaluation process and determine the duration of the underlying cash flows used in the discounted cash flow test. Projected cash flows reflect current market assessments of key assumptions, including climate change, long-term forecasts of commodity prices, inflation rates, foreign exchange rates and discount rates (Level 3 fair value inputs note 27). Future cash flow estimates are discounted using after-tax risk-adjusted discount rates. The after-tax discount rate applied to cash flow projections was an average of 7.8% (2022 – 7.8%). The company based its cash flow projections on a West Texas Intermediate price of US$76.00/bbl in 2024, US$73.44/bbl in 2025, US$71.79/bbl in 2026 and escalating at an average of 2% thereafter, adjusted for applicable quality and location differentials. The forecast cash flow period ranged from 50 years to 55 years. As a result of this analysis, management did not identify any impairment of goodwill within the Oil Sands operating segment. The company also performed a goodwill impairment test of its Refining and Marketing CGUs. The recoverable amounts are based on fair value less costs of disposal calculated using the present value of the CGUs’ expected future cash flows, based primarily on historical results adjusted for current economic conditions. As a result of this analysis, management did not identify any impairment of goodwill within the Refining and Marketing segment. |

Debt issuance costs were $8 million and were netted against the carrying amount of the debt and amortized using the effective interest method. In the second quarter of 2023, the company extended the maturity of its syndicated credit facilities from June 2024 and June 2025 to June 2026, and reduced the size of its $3.0 billion tranche by $200 million, to $2.8 billion. In the fourth quarter of 2022, the company repaid $3.6 billion aggregate principal amount of debt at an amount below par of $51 million plus accrued and unpaid interest. As a result of the extinguishment, the company incurred non-cash charges of $83 million related to accelerated amortization. This resulted in a total loss on extinguishment of long-term debt of $32 million. The general terms of the notes that were extinguished are as follows: ● 3.00% Series 5 Medium Term Notes, due 2026, with a principal amount of $700 million (partial repayment of $585 million); ● 8.20% Notes, due 2027, with a principal amount of US $59 million (partial repayment of US $16 million); ● 3.10% Series 6 Medium Term Notes, due 2029, with a principal amount of $750 million (partial repayment of $671 million); ● 5.00% Series 7 Medium Term Notes, due 2030, with a principal amount of $1.3 billion (partial repayment of $1.1 billion); ● 5.35% Notes, due 2033, with a principal amount of US $300 million (partial repayment of US $178 million); ● 5.95% Notes, due 2035, with a principal amount of US $600 million (partial repayment of US $401 million); ● 5.39% Series 4 Medium Term Notes, due 2037, with a principal amount of $600 million (partial repayment of $321 million); and ● 6.00% Notes, due 2042, with a principal amount of US $142 million (partial repayment of US $110 million).

Pensions and Other Post Retirement Benefits | |
Pensions and Other Post Retirement Benefits | 23. Pensions and Other Post-Retirement Benefits The company’s defined benefit pension plans provide pension benefits at retirement based on years of service and final average earnings (if applicable). These obligations are met through funded registered retirement plans and through unregistered supplementary pensions that are funded through retirement compensation arrangements, and/or paid directly to recipients. The company’s contributions to the funded plans are deposited with independent trustees who act as custodians of the plans’ assets, as well as the disbursing agents of the benefits to recipients. Plan assets are managed by a pension committee on behalf of beneficiaries. The committee retains independent managers and advisors. Asset-liability matching studies are performed by a third-party consultant to set the asset mix by quantifying the risk-and-return characteristics of possible asset mix strategies. Investment and contribution policies are integrated within this study, and areas of focus include asset mix as well as interest rate sensitivity. Funding of the registered retirement plans complies with applicable regulations that require actuarial valuations of the pension funds at least once every three years in Canada and the U.K., and every year in the United States and Germany. The most recent valuations for the registered Canadian plans and U.K. plans were performed as at December 31, 2022. The company uses a measurement date of December 31 to value the plan assets and remeasure the accrued benefit obligation for accounting purposes. In 2023, the U.K. defined benefit plan was sold concurrently with the sale of the U.K. operations (see note 16). The company’s other post-retirement benefits programs are unfunded and include certain health care and life insurance benefits provided to retired employees and eligible surviving dependents. The company reports its share of Syncrude’s defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans and Syncrude’s other post-retirement benefits plan. The company also provides a number of defined contribution plans, including a U.S. 401(k) savings plan, that provide for an annual contribution of 5% to 11.5% of each participating employee’s pensionable earnings.

The company was approved for funding relief starting in late 2020 for both the defined benefit plan and the defined contribution plan based on funding levels in the defined benefit plan. In 2022, upon filing the new actuarial funding valuations, the company entered into another contribution holiday for the defined benefit plans. In 2023, the company again entered into another contribution holiday for both the defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans, with the company anticipating to fully resume cash contributions in late 2025. Of the total net obligations as at December 31, 2023, 91% relates to Canadian pension plans and other post-retirement benefits obligation (December 31, 2022 – 96%). The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation under the Canadian pension plans and other post-retirement plans is 15.7 years (2022 – 16.4 years).

The significant weighted average actuarial assumptions were as follows: Other Post-Retirement Pension Benefits Benefits December 31 December 31 December 31 December 31 (%) 2023 2022 2023 2022 Discount rate 4.60 5.10 4.60 5.10 Rate of compensation increase 3.00 3.00 3.00 3.00 The discount rate assumption is based on the interest rate on high-quality bonds with maturity terms equivalent to the benefit obligations. The defined benefit obligation reflects the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. The mortality assumption is based on a standard mortality table adjusted for actual experience over the past five years. In order to measure the expected cost of other post-retirement benefits, it was assumed that the health care costs would increase annually by 5%. Assumed discount rates and health care cost trend rates may have a significant effect on the amounts reported for pensions and other post-retirement benefits obligations for the company’s Canadian plans. A change in these assumptions would have the following effects: Pension Benefits ($ millions) Increase Decrease 1% change in discount rate Effect on the aggregate service and interest costs (17) 20 Effect on the benefit obligations (767) 963 Other Post-Retirement Benefits ($ millions) Increase Decrease 1% change in discount rate Effect on the benefit obligations (58) 70 1% change in health care cost Effect on the aggregate service and interest costs 1 (1) Effect on the benefit obligations 22 (19) Plan Assets and Investment Objectives The company’s long-term investment objective is to secure the defined pension benefits while managing the variability and level of its contributions. The portfolio is rebalanced periodically, as required, to the plans’ target asset allocation as prescribed in the Statement of Investment Policies and Procedures approved by the Board of Directors. Plan assets are restricted to those permitted by legislation, where applicable. Investments are made through pooled, mutual, segregated or exchange traded funds. The company’s weighted average pension plan asset allocations, based on market values as at December 31, are as follows: (%) 2023 2022 Equities 53 52 Fixed income 22 27 Plan assets, comprised of: – Real Estate 25 21 Total 100 100 Equity securities do not include any direct investments in Suncor shares. The fair value of equity and fixed income securities is based on the trading price of the underlying fund. The fair value of real estate investments is based on independent third-party appraisals. |

The total undiscounted and uninflated amount of estimated future cash flows required to settle the obligations at December 31, 2023 was approximately $23.5 billion (December 31, 2022 – $22.4 billion). A weighted average credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate of 5.20% was used to discount the provision recognized at December 31, 2023 (December 31, 2022 – 5.50% ). The credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate used reflects the expected time frame of the provisions. Payments to settle the decommissioning and restoration provisions occur on an ongoing basis and will continue over the lives of the operating assets, which can exceed 50 years . (2) During 2023, liabilities incurred include a restructuring provision for $275 million, changes in estimates include a $117 million provision reversal related to the company’s arrangement involving a third-party by product processor, and liabilities settled include restructuring related payments of $113 million. As at December 31, 2023, other provisions include a restructuring provision and other legal, insurance, and environmental provisions. (3) In connection with both the Teck acquisition (note 16) and the TotalEnergies Canada acquisition (note16), Suncor was deemed to have divested of its pre-existing interest in Fort Hills, presented as divestments, and re-acquired it at fair value. As such, acquisitions include 100% of the fair value of the decommissioning and restoration provision related to the TotalEnergies Canada acquisition, including the reevaluations of the existing working interest and the remaining capacity on a regional pipeline.

Share unit plans are accounted for as cash-settled awards. (a) Performance Share Units (PSUs) A PSU is a time-vested award entitling employees to receive varying degrees of cash (0%–200% of the company’s share price at time of vesting) contingent upon Suncor’s total shareholder return (stock price appreciation and dividend income) relative to a peer group of companies. PSUs vest approximately three years after the grant date. (b) Restricted Share Units (RSUs) A RSU is a time-vested award entitling employees to receive cash calculated based on an average of the company’s share price leading up to vesting. RSUs vest approximately three years after the grant date. In 2022, Syncrude’s Long Term Incentive Plans (LTIP) of approximately $123 million were converted into Suncor RSUs at a conversion price of $30.93. (c) Deferred Share Units (DSUs) A DSU is redeemable for cash or a common share for a period of time after a unitholder ceases employment or Board membership. The DSU Plan is limited to executives and members of the Board of Directors. Members of the Board of Directors receive an annual grant of DSUs as part of their compensation and may elect to receive their fees in cash only or in increments of 50% or 100% allocated to DSUs.

Financial Instruments and Risk Management | 27. Financial Instruments and Risk Management The company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, derivative contracts, substantially all accounts payable and accrued liabilities, debt, and certain portions of other assets and other long-term liabilities. Non-Derivative Financial Instruments The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term debt, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the short-term maturities of those instruments. The company’s long-term debt and long-term financial liabilities are recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest method. At December 31, 2023, the carrying value of fixed-term debt accounted for under amortized cost was $11.1 billion (December 31, 2022 – $9.8 billion) and the fair value at December 31, 2023 was $11.1 billion (December 31, 2022 – $9.4 billion). The increase in carrying value and fair value of debt is mainly due to the issuance of $1.5 billion in aggregate principal of senior unsecured notes. The estimated fair value of long-term debt is based on pricing sourced from market data, which is considered a Level 2 fair value input. Suncor entered into a partnership with Fort McKay First Nation (FMFN) and Mikisew Cree First Nation (MCFN) in 2018 where FMFN and MCFN acquired a combined 49% partnership interest in the East Tank Farm Development. The partnership liability is recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest method. At December 31, 2023, the carrying value of the Partnership liability accounted for under amortized cost was $413 million (December 31, 2022 – $427 million). Derivative Financial Instruments (a) Non-Designated Derivative Financial Instruments The company uses derivative financial instruments, such as physical and financial contracts, to manage certain exposures to fluctuations in interest rates, commodity prices and foreign currency exchange rates, as part of its overall risk management program, as well as for trading purposes. The changes in the fair value of non-designated derivatives are as follows: ($ millions) 2023 2022 Fair value outstanding, beginning of year (65) (98) Changes in fair value recognized in earnings during the year (note 7) 25 (187) Cash settlements - paid (received) during the year 20 220 Fair value outstanding, end of year (20) (65) (b) Fair Value Hierarchy To estimate the fair value of derivatives, the company uses quoted market prices when available, or third-party models and valuation methodologies that utilize observable market data. In addition to market information, the company incorporates transaction-specific details that market participants would utilize in a fair value measurement, including the impact of non-performance risk. However, these fair value estimates may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts that could be realized or settled in a current market transaction. The company characterizes inputs used in determining fair value using a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs depending on the degree to which they are observable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: ● Level 1 consists of instruments with a fair value determined by an unadjusted quoted price in an active market for identical assets or liabilities. An active market is characterized by readily and regularly available quoted prices where the prices are representative of actual and regularly occurring market transactions to assure liquidity. ● Level 2 consists of instruments with a fair value that is determined by quoted prices in an inactive market, prices with observable inputs, or prices with insignificant non-observable inputs. The fair value of these positions is determined using observable inputs from exchanges, pricing services, third-party independent broker quotes, and published transportation tolls. The observable inputs may be adjusted using certain methods, which include extrapolation over the quoted price term and quotes for comparable assets and liabilities. ● Level 3 consists of instruments with a fair value that is determined by prices with significant unobservable inputs. As at December 31, 2023, the company does not have any derivative instruments measured at fair value Level 3. In forming estimates, the company utilizes the most observable inputs available for valuation purposes. If a fair value measurement reflects inputs of different levels within the hierarchy, the measurement is categorized based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table presents the company’s derivative financial instrument assets and liabilities measured at fair value for each hierarchy level as at December 31, 2023 and 2022. ($ millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Fair Value Accounts receivable 36 107 - 143 Accounts payable (85) (123) - (208) Balance at December 31, 2022 (49) (16) - (65) Accounts receivable 41 24 - 65 Accounts payable (51) (34) - (85) Balance at December 31, 2023 (10) (10) - (20) During the year ended December 31, 2023, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. Offsetting Financial Assets and Liabilities The company enters into arrangements that allow for offsetting of derivative financial instruments and accounts receivable (payable), which are presented on a net basis on the balance sheet, as shown in the table below as at December 31, 2023 and 2022.

These risk factors include market risks, comprising commodity price risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk, as well as liquidity risk and credit risk. The company maintains a formal governance process to manage its financial risks. The company’s Commodity Risk Management Committee (CRMC) is charged with the oversight of the company’s trading and credit risk management activities. These activities are intended to manage risk associated with open price exposure of specific volumes in transit or storage, enhance the company’s operations, and enhance profitability through informed market calls, market diversification, economies of scale, improved transportation access, and leverage of assets, both physical and contractual. The CRMC, acting under the authority of the company’s Board of Directors, meets regularly to monitor limits on risk exposures, review policy compliance and validate risk-related methodologies and procedures. 1) Market Risk Market risk is the risk or uncertainty arising from market price movements and their impact on the future performance of the business. The market price movements that could adversely affect the value of the company’s financial assets, liabilities and expected future cash flows include commodity price risk, foreign currency exchange risk and interest rate risk. (a) Commodity Price Risk Suncor’s financial performance is closely linked to crude oil and refined product prices (including pricing differentials for various product types) and, to a lesser extent, natural gas and electricity prices. The company may reduce its exposure to commodity price risk through a number of strategies. These strategies include entering into derivative contracts to limit exposure to changes in crude oil and refined product prices during transportation and natural gas prices. An increase or decrease of US$10/bbl of crude oil as at December 31, 2023, would increase or decrease pre-tax earnings for the company’s outstanding derivative financial instruments by approximately $45 million (2022 – $70 million increase or decrease). (b) Foreign Currency Exchange Risk The company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk on revenues, capital expenditures or financial instruments that are denominated in a currency other than the company’s functional currency (Canadian dollars). As crude oil is priced in U.S. dollars, fluctuations in US$/Cdn$ exchange rates may have a significant impact on revenues. This exposure is partially offset through the issuance of U.S. dollar denominated debt. A 1% strengthening in the Cdn$ relative to the US$ as at December 31, 2023, would decrease pre-tax earnings related to the company’s U.S. dollar denominated long-term debt, commercial paper and working capital by approximately $31 million (2022 – $100 million increase). (c) Interest Rate Risk The company is exposed to interest rate risk as changes in interest rates may affect future cash flows and the fair values of its financial instruments. The primary exposure is related to its revolving-term debt of commercial paper and future debt issuances. To manage the company’s exposure to interest rate volatility, the company may periodically enter into interest rate swap contracts to fix the interest rate of future debt issuances. As at December 31, 2023, the company had no outstanding forward interest rate swaps. The simple average interest rate on total debt, including lease liabilities, for the year ended December 31, 2023 was 6.3% (2022 – 5.8%). The company’s net earnings are sensitive to changes in interest rates on the floating rate portion of the company’s debt, which are offset by cash balances. To the extent interest expense is not capitalized, if interest rates applicable to floating rate instruments increased by 1%, it is estimated that the company’s pre-tax earnings would increase by approximately $12 million primarily due to a lower short-term debt balance (2022 – approximately $8 million decrease). This assumes that the amount and mix of fixed and floating rate debt remains unchanged from December 31, 2023. The proportion of floating interest rate exposure at December 31, 2023 was 3.2% of total debt outstanding (2022 – 18.0%). 2) Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that Suncor will not be able to meet its financial obligations when due. The company mitigates this risk by forecasting spending requirements as well as cash flow from operating activities, and maintaining sufficient cash, credit facilities, and debt shelf prospectuses to meet these requirements. Suncor’s cash and cash equivalents and total credit facilities at December 31, 2023 were $1.7 billion and $7.0 billion, respectively. Of Suncor’s $7.0 billion in total credit facilities, $5.5 billion were unutilized at December 31, 2023. In addition, Suncor has unused capacity under the Board of Directors authority of US$5.0 billion to issue debt. The ability of the company to raise additional capital utilizing these shelf prospectuses is dependent on market conditions. The company believes it has sufficient funding through the use of these facilities and access to capital markets to meet its future capital requirements. Surplus cash is invested into a range of short-dated money market securities. Investments are only permitted in high credit quality government or corporate securities. Diversification of these investments is managed through counterparty credit limits. The following table shows the timing of cash outflows related to trade and other payables and debt. December 31, 2022 Trade and Gross Derivative Lease ($ millions) Other Payables (1) Liabilities (2) Debt (3) Liabilities Within one year 7 959 3 824 3 375 477 2 to 3 years 39 546 1 066 807 4 to 5 years 39 - 1 541 652 Over 5 years - - 16 317 3 047 8 037 4 370 22 299 4 983 December 31, 2023 Trade and Gross Derivative Lease ($ millions) Other Payables (1) Liabilities (2) Debt (3) Liabilities Within one year 7 646 6 586 1 132 561 2 to 3 years 53 532 3 184 991 4 to 5 years 1 - 1 425 846 Over 5 years - - 14 175 4 038 7 700 7 118 19 916 6 436 (1) Trade and other payables exclude net derivative liabilities of $85 million (2022 – $208 million). (2) Gross derivative liabilities of $7.118 billion (2022 – $4.370 billion) are offset by gross derivative assets of $7.033 billion (2022 – $4.162 billion), resulting in a net amount of $85 million (2022 – $208 million). (3) Debt includes short-term debt, long-term debt and interest payments on fixed-term debt. 3) Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk that a customer or counterparty will fail to perform an obligation or fail to pay amounts due, causing a financial loss. The company’s credit policy is designed to ensure there is a standard credit practice throughout the company to measure and monitor credit risk. The policy outlines delegation of authority, the due diligence process required to approve a new customer or counterparty and the maximum amount of credit exposure per single entity. Before transactions begin with a new customer or counterparty, its creditworthiness is assessed, and a credit rating and a maximum credit limit are assigned. The assessment process is outlined in the credit policy and considers both quantitative and qualitative factors. The company constantly monitors the exposure to any single customer or counterparty along with the financial position of the customer or counterparty. If it is deemed that a customer or counterparty has become materially weaker, the company will work to reduce the credit exposure and lower the assigned credit limit. Regular reports are generated to monitor credit risk and the Credit Committee meets quarterly to ensure compliance with the credit policy and review the exposures. A substantial portion of the company’s accounts receivable are with customers in the oil and gas industry and are subject to normal industry credit risk. At December 31, 2023, substantially all of the company’s trade receivables were current. The company may be exposed to certain losses in the event that counterparties to derivative financial instruments are unable to meet the terms of the contracts. The company’s exposure is limited to those counterparties holding derivative contracts owing to the company at the reporting date. At December 31, 2023, the company’s net exposure was $65 million (December 31, 2022 – $143 million). |

Capital Structure Financial Policies | |
Capital Structure Financial Policies | 28. Capital Structure Financial Policies The company’s primary capital management strategy is to maintain a conservative balance sheet, which supports a solid investment grade credit rating profile. This objective affords the company the financial flexibility and access to the capital it requires to execute on its growth objectives. The company’s capital is primarily monitored by reviewing the ratios of net debt to adjusted funds from operations (2) Net debt to adjusted funds from operations (2) Total debt to total debt plus shareholders’ equity is calculated as short-term debt plus total long-term debt divided by short-term debt plus total long-term debt plus shareholders’ equity. This financial covenant under the company’s various banking and debt agreements shall not be greater than 65%. The company’s financial covenant is reviewed regularly, and controls are in place to maintain compliance with the covenant. The company complied with financial covenants for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. The company’s financial measures, as set out in the following schedule, were unchanged from 2022. The company believes that achieving its capital target helps to provide the company with access to capital at a reasonable cost by maintaining solid investment grade credit ratings. Total debt to total debt plus shareholders’ equity was 26.3% at December 31, 2023 and decreased slightly due to higher shareholders’ equity as a result of a decrease in the repurchase of common shares for cancellation. The company operates in a fluctuating business environment and ratios may periodically fall outside of management’s targets. The company addresses these fluctuations by capital expenditure reductions and sales of non-core assets to ensure net debt achieves management’s targets. Capital Measure December 31 December 31 ($ millions) Target 2023 2022 Components of ratios Short-term debt 494 2 807 Current portion of long-term debt - - Current portion of long-term lease liabilities 348 317 Long-term debt 11 087 9 800 Long-term lease liabilities 3 478 2 695 Total debt (1) 15 407 15 619 Less: Cash and cash equivalents 1 729 1 980 Net debt (1) 13 678 13 639 Shareholders’ equity 43 279 39 367 Total capitalization (total debt plus shareholders’ equity) 58 686 54 986 Adjusted funds from operations (2) 13 325 18 101 Net debt to adjusted funds from operations < 3.0 times 1.0 0.8 Total debt to total debt plus shareholders’ equity 20% - 35% 26.3% 28.4% (1) Total debt and net debt are non-GAAP financial measures.

Such obligations include commodity purchase obligations which are transacted at market prices. (b) Contingencies Legal and Environmental Contingent Liabilities and Assets The company is defendant and plaintiff in a number of legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. The company believes that any liabilities or assets that might arise pertaining to such matters would not have a material effect on its consolidated financial position. The company may also have environmental contingent liabilities, beyond decommissioning and restoration liabilities (recognized in note 24), which are reviewed individually and are reflected in the company’s consolidated financial statements if material and more likely than not to be incurred. These contingent environmental liabilities primarily relate to the mitigation of contamination at sites where the company has had operations. For any unrecognized environmental contingencies, the company believes that any liabilities that might arise pertaining to such matters would not have a material effect on its consolidated financial position. Costs attributable to these commitments and contingencies are expected to be incurred over an extended period of time and to be funded from the company’s cash flow from operating activities. Although the ultimate impact of these matters on net earnings cannot be determined at this time, the impact is not expected to be material. Contingent assets are only disclosed when the inflow of economic benefits is probable. When the economic benefit becomes virtually certain, the asset is no longer contingent and is recognized in the consolidated financial statements. (c) Guarantees At December 31, 2023, the company has provided loan guarantees to certain retail licensees and wholesale marketers. Suncor’s maximum potential amount payable under these loan guarantees is $125 million. The company has also agreed to indemnify holders of all notes and debentures and the company’s credit facility lenders (see note 21) for added costs relating to withholding taxes. Similar indemnity terms apply to certain facility and equipment leases. There is no limit to the maximum amount payable under these indemnification agreements. The company is unable to determine the maximum potential amount payable as government regulations and legislation are subject to change without notice. Under these agreements, the company has the option to redeem or terminate these contracts if additional costs are incurred. The company also has guaranteed its working-interest share of certain joint operation undertakings related to transportation services agreements entered into with third parties. The guaranteed amount is limited to the company’s share in the joint arrangement. As at December 31, 2023, the probability is remote that these guarantee commitments will impact the company. |

Summary of Material Accounting Policies | |
Joint Arrangements | (a) Joint Arrangements The classification of joint arrangements considers the contractual rights and obligations of each investor and whether the legal structure of the joint arrangement gives the entity direct rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities. |
Foreign Currency Translation | (b) Foreign Currency Translation Functional currencies of the company’s individual entities are the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the appropriate functional currency at foreign exchange rates that approximate those on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the appropriate functional currency at foreign exchange rates as at the balance sheet date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognized in net earnings. Non-monetary assets that are measured in a foreign currency at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. In preparing the company’s consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of each entity are translated into Canadian dollars. The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars at exchange rates as at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars using foreign exchange rates that approximate those on the date of the underlying transaction. Foreign exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. If the company or any of its entities disposes of its entire interest in a foreign operation, or loses control, joint control or significant influence over a foreign operation, the accumulated foreign currency translation gains or losses related to the foreign operation are recognized in net earnings. |
Revenues | (c) Revenues Revenue from the sale of crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids, purchased products, refined petroleum products and power represent the company’s contractual arrangements with customers. Revenue is recorded when control passes to the customer, in accordance with specified contract terms. All operating revenue is earned at a point in time and is based on the consideration that the company expects to receive for the transfer of the goods to the customer. Revenues are usually collected in the month following delivery except retail gasoline, diesel and ancillary products, which are due upon delivery and, accordingly, the company does not adjust consideration for the effects of a financing component. International operations conducted pursuant to Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs) are reflected in the consolidated financial statements based on the company’s working interest. Each PSC establishes the exploration, development and operating costs the company is required to fund and terms for the company to recover these costs and to share in the production profits. Cost recovery is generally limited to a specified percentage of production during each year (Cost Recovery Oil). Any Cost Recovery Oil remaining after costs have been recovered is referred to as Excess Petroleum and is shared between the company and the respective government. Assuming collection is reasonably assured, the company records revenue when the sale of product to a third party occurs. Revenue also includes income taxes paid on the company’s behalf by government joint partners. |
Inventories | (d) Inventories Inventories of crude oil and refined products, other than inventories held for trading purposes, are valued at the lower of cost, using the first-in, first-out method, and net realizable value. Cost of inventory consists of purchase costs, direct production costs, direct overhead and depreciation, depletion and amortization. Materials and supplies are valued at the lower of average cost and net realizable value. Inventories held for trading purposes are carried at fair value less costs to sell and any changes in fair value are recognized in Other Income within the respective reporting segment to which the trading activity relates. |
Exploration and Evaluation Assets | (e) Exploration and Evaluation Assets The costs to acquire non-producing oil and gas properties or licences to explore, drill exploratory wells and the costs to evaluate the commercial potential of underlying resources, including related borrowing costs, are initially capitalized as Exploration and Evaluation assets. Certain exploration costs, including geological, geophysical and seismic expenditures and delineation on oil sands properties, are charged to Exploration expense as incurred. Exploration and Evaluation assets are subject to technical, commercial and management review to confirm the continued intent to develop and extract the underlying resources. If an area or exploration well is no longer considered commercially viable, the related capitalized costs are expensed. When management determines with reasonable certainty that an Exploration and Evaluation asset will be developed, as evidenced by the classification of proved or probable reserves and the appropriate internal and external approvals, the asset is transferred to Property, Plant and Equipment. |
Property, Plant and Equipment | (f) Property, Plant and Equipment The costs to acquire and to develop oil and gas properties, including completing geological and geophysical surveys and drilling development wells, and the costs to construct and install development infrastructure, such as wellhead equipment, well platforms, well pairs, offshore platforms, subsea structures and an estimate of asset retirement costs, are capitalized as oil and gas properties within Property, Plant and Equipment. The costs to construct, install and commission, or acquire, oil and gas production equipment, including oil sands upgraders, extraction plants, mine equipment, processing and power generation facilities, utility plants, and all renewable energy, refining, and marketing assets, are capitalized as plant and equipment within Property, Plant and Equipment. Stripping activity required to access oil sands mining resources incurred in the initial development phase is capitalized as part of the construction cost of the mine. Stripping costs incurred in the production phase are charged to expense as they normally relate to production for the current period. The costs of planned major inspection, overhaul and turnaround activities that maintain Property, Plant and Equipment and benefit future years of operations are capitalized. Recurring planned maintenance activities performed on shorter intervals are expensed as operating costs. Replacements outside of a major inspection, overhaul or turnaround are capitalized when it is probable that future economic benefits will be realized by the company and the associated carrying amount of the replaced component is derecognized. Borrowing costs relating to assets that take over one year to construct are capitalized as part of the asset. Capitalization of borrowing costs ceases when the asset is in the location and condition necessary for its intended use, and is suspended when construction of an asset is ceased for extended periods. |
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization | (g) Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization Exploration and Evaluation assets are not subject to depreciation, depletion and amortization. Once transferred to oil and gas properties within Property, Plant and Equipment and commercial production commences, these costs are depleted on a unit-of-production basis over proved developed reserves, with the exception of costs associated with oil sands mines, which are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the life of the mine, and property acquisition costs, which are depleted over proved reserves. Capital expenditures are not depreciated or depleted until assets are substantially complete and ready for their intended use. Costs to develop oil and gas properties other than certain oil sands mining assets, including costs of dedicated infrastructure, such as well pads and wellhead equipment, are depleted on a unit-of-production basis over proved developed reserves. A portion of these costs may not be depleted if they relate to undeveloped reserves. Costs related to offshore facilities are depleted over proved and probable reserves. Costs to develop and construct oil sands mines are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the life of the mine. Major components of Property, Plant and Equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives. Oil sands upgraders, extraction plants and mine facilities 10 to 40 years Oil sands mine equipment 5 to 15 years Oil sands in situ processing facilities 30 years Power generation and utility plants 30 to 40 years Refineries and other processing plants 20 to 40 years Marketing and other distribution assets 10 to 40 years The costs of major inspection, overhaul and turnaround activities that are capitalized are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the period to the next scheduled activity, which varies from two Depreciation, depletion and amortization rates are reviewed annually or when events or conditions occur that impact capitalized costs, reserves or estimated service lives. Right-of-use assets within Property, Plant and Equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the right-of-use asset or the lease term. |
Impairment of Assets | (h) Impairment of Assets Non-Financial Assets Property, Plant and Equipment and Exploration and Evaluation assets are reviewed quarterly to assess whether there is any indication of impairment. Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are tested for impairment annually. Exploration and Evaluation assets are also tested for impairment immediately prior to being transferred to Property, Plant and Equipment. If any indication of impairment exists, an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount is calculated as the higher of the fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are considered, if available. In the absence of such transactions, an appropriate valuation model is used. Value-in-use is assessed using the present value of the expected future cash flows of the relevant asset. If the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, the asset is tested as part of a cash generating unit (CGU), which is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. An impairment loss is the amount by which the carrying amount of the individual asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairments may be reversed for all CGUs and individual assets, other than goodwill, if there has been a change in the estimates and judgments used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If such indication exists, the carrying amount of the CGU or asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, which cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depletion, depreciation and amortization, had no impairment been recognized. Impairments and impairment reversals are recognized within Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Impairment. Financial Assets At each reporting date, the company assesses the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets measured at amortized cost. Expected credit losses are measured as the difference between the cash flows that are due to the company and the cash flows that the company expects to receive, discounted at the effective interest rate determined at initial recognition. For trade accounts receivables, the company applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9 Financial Instruments |
Provisions | (i) Provisions Provisions are recognized for decommissioning and restoration obligations associated with the company’s Exploration and Evaluation assets and Property, Plant and Equipment. Provisions for decommissioning and restoration obligations are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the future cash flows required to settle the present obligation, using the credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. The value of the obligation is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset and amortized over the useful life of the asset. The provision is accreted over time through Financing Expense with actual expenditures charged against the accumulated obligation. Changes in the future cash flow estimates resulting from revisions to the estimated timing or amount of undiscounted cash flows are recognized as a change in the decommissioning and restoration provision and related asset. |
Income Taxes | (j) Income Taxes The company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes whereby deferred income taxes are recorded for the effect of differences between the accounting and income tax basis of an asset or liability. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantively enacted income tax rates as at the balance sheet date that are anticipated to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Changes to these balances are recognized in net earnings or in other comprehensive income in the period they occur. Investment tax credits are recorded as a reduction to the related expenditures. The company recognizes the impact of a tax filing position when it is probable, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon audit. If it is determined a tax filing position is not considered probable, the company assesses the possible outcomes and their associated probabilities and records a tax provision based on the best estimate of the amount of tax payable. |
Pensions and Other Post-Retirement Benefits | (k) Pensions and Other Post-Retirement Benefits The company sponsors defined benefit pension plans, defined contribution pension plans and other post-retirement benefits. The cost of pension benefits earned by employees in the defined contribution pension plan is expensed as incurred. The cost of defined benefit pension plans and other post-retirement benefits are actuarially determined using the projected unit credit method based on present pay levels and management’s best estimates of demographic and financial assumptions. The liability recognized on the balance sheet is the present value of the defined benefit obligations less the fair value of plan assets. The value of plan assets is limited to the total of unrecognized past service cost and the present value of the economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan (“effect of the asset ceiling”). Any surplus is immediately recognized in other comprehensive income. In addition, a minimum liability is recognized when the statutory minimum funding requirement for past service exceeds the economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. Pension benefits earned during the current year are recorded in Operating, Selling and General expense. Interest costs on the net unfunded obligation are recorded in Financing Expense. Any actuarial gains or losses related to the plan assets and the defined benefit obligation, as well as the change in the asset ceiling and any minimum liability, are recognized immediately through other comprehensive income and transferred directly to retained earnings. |
Emissions Obligations and Rights | (l) Emissions Obligations and Rights Emissions obligations are measured at the weighted average cost per unit of emissions expected to be incurred to settle the obligation and are recorded in the period in which the emissions occur within Operating, Selling and General expense, or Purchases. Purchases of emissions rights are recognized as Other Assets on the balance sheet and are measured at historical cost. Emissions rights received by way of grant are recorded at a nominal amount. |
Leases | (m) Leases The company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of twelve months or less. The lease payments are recognized as an expense when incurred over the lease term. As well, the company has accounted for each lease component and any non-lease components as a single lease component for crude oil storage tanks.
