Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(in US $, unless otherwise noted)
In these notes, “Norbord” means Norbord Inc. and all of its consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates, and “Company” means Norbord Inc. as a separate corporation, unless the context implies otherwise. “Brookfield” means Brookfield Asset Management Inc. or any of its consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates, which are related parties by virtue of Brookfield holding a controlling equity interest in the Company.
NOTE 1. NATURE AND DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY
Norbord is an international producer of wood-based panels with 17 plant locations in the United States, Europe and Canada. Norbord is a publicly traded company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol NBD. The Company is incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act and is headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
On March 31, 2015, the Company and Ainsworth Lumber Co Ltd. (Ainsworth) completed an arrangement under which the Company acquired all of the outstanding common shares of Ainsworth in an all-share transaction (the Merger). Under the terms of the transaction, Ainsworth shareholders received 0.1321 of a share of the Company for each Ainsworth share held pursuant to a plan of arrangement under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act. Based on the number of Ainsworth common shares outstanding as at March 31, 2015, 31.8 million Norbord common shares were issued to Ainsworth shareholders. Ainsworth’s shares were delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange on April 2, 2015 and Ainsworth became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Norbord.
Prior to the completion of the transaction, Brookfield controlled approximately 52% and 55% of the outstanding common shares of the Company and Ainsworth, respectively, and now controls approximately 53% of the outstanding common shares of the Company.
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Statement of Compliance
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements (interim financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) on a basis consistent with (a) the accounting policies the Company disclosed in its audited consolidated financial statements as at, and for the year ended, December 31, 2014, and (b) the accounting policies disclosed in note 2(c), except for the impact of accounting for the Merger on a continuity of interest basis as described in note 2(b). These interim financial statements do not contain all of the disclosures that are required in annual financial statements prepared under IFRS and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2014 audited annual financial statements which include information necessary or useful to understanding the Company’s business and financial statement presentation. The Company’s interim results are not necessarily indicative of its results for a full year.
These interim financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company on July 29, 2015.
(b) Basis of Presentation
These financial statements of the Company are presented on a combined basis and retrospectively combine the financial statements of the Company and Ainsworth as if they had always been combined; see note 14 for reconciliations of prior period financial statement figures. Supplemental unaudited annual disclosures of the combined entity as at December 31, 2014 are provided in notes 15 to 18. For the translation of the results and balances of Ainsworth for prior comparative periods see note 14(f)(i).
5
(c) New Accounting Policies
The accounting policies of the Company and Ainsworth were consistent, and in addition to the accounting policies disclosed in note 2 in the Company’s 2014 audited annual financial statements, the following policies were adopted:
(i) | Business Combinations |
The Company has elected not to account for the Merger as a business combination under IFRS 3 Business Combinations, as the transaction represents a combination of entities under common control of Brookfield. Accordingly, the combination was completed on a book value basis and no adjustments were made to reflect fair values or to recognize any new assets or liabilities of either entity.
(ii) | Intangible Assets |
Intangible assets consist of timber rights and software acquisition and development costs. Intangible assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Timber rights are amortized on the basis of the volume of timber harvested. Software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives and commence once the software is put into service. Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are assessed at least annually. If the Company identifies events or changes in circumstances which may indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable, the intangible assets would be reviewed for impairment.
(iii) | Reforestation Obligations |
For certain operations, timber is harvested under various licenses issued by the Provinces of British Columbia and Alberta, which include future requirements for reforestation. The fair value of the future estimated reforestation obligation is accrued and recognized in cost of sales on the basis of the volume of timber harvested; fair value is determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows using a credit adjusted risk-free rate. Subsequent changes to fair value resulting from the passage of time and revisions to fair value calculations are recognized in earnings as they occur.
NOTE 3. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Company has $125 million accounts receivable securitization program with a third-party trust sponsored by a highly rated Canadian financial institution. The program is revolving and has an evergreen commitment subject to termination on 12 months’ notice. Under the program, Norbord has transferred substantially all of its present and future trade accounts receivable, excluding the amounts generated from the Ainsworth operations, to the trust on a fully serviced basis for proceeds consisting of cash and deferred purchase price. However, the asset derecognition criteria under IFRS have not been met and the transferred accounts receivable remain recorded as an asset. The receivables generated by Ainsworth operations will be included in the program commencing in the third quarter of 2015.
At period-end, Norbord had transferred but continued to recognize $124 million (December 31, 2014 – $102 million; January 1, 2014 – $113 million) in accounts receivable, and Norbord recorded cash proceeds received of $50 million (December 31, 2014 and January 1, 2014 – $nil) relating to this financing program. The level of accounts receivable transferred under the program fluctuates with the level of shipment volumes, product prices and foreign exchange rates. The amount of drawings under the program at any point in time depends on the level of accounts receivable transferred, timing of cash settlements and fluctuates with the Company’s cash requirements. Any drawings are presented as other long-term debt on the balance sheet and are excluded from the net debt to capitalization calculation for financial covenant purposes (note 6).
The securitization program contains no financial covenants. However, the program is subject to minimum credit-rating requirements. The Company must maintain a long-term issuer credit rating of at least single B(mid) or the equivalent. As at July 29, 2015, Norbord’s ratings were BB (DBRS), BB- (Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services) and Ba2 (Moody’s Investors Service).

Senior Secured Notes Due 2023
On April 16, 2015, the Company completed the issuance of $315 million in senior secured notes due 2023 with an interest rate of 6.25%. Debt issue costs of $6 million were incurred in connection with the issuance. The notes rank pari passu with the Company’s existing senior secured notes due in 2017 and 2020 and committed revolving bank lines. The Company used the proceeds to redeem, prior to maturity the $315 million senior secured notes due 2017 of Ainsworth (Ainsworth Notes) that were assumed upon closing of the Merger on March 31, 2015 (see note 1). As a result of the early redemption, a premium of $13 million was paid, a $1 million charge related to net unamortized debt issue costs was recorded and an $11 million charge to extinguish the related derivative financial instrument was recognized (see note 11).
Revolving Bank Lines
The Company has an aggregate commitment of $245 million which bears interest at money market rates plus a margin that varies with the Company’s credit rating. The maturity date for $225 million of the total aggregate commitment is May 2018 and the remaining $20 million commitment matures in May 2016. The bank lines are secured by a first lien on the Company’s North American OSB inventory and property, plant and equipment. This lien is shared pari passu with holders of the 2017, 2020 and 2023 senior secured notes.
At period-end, $4 million was utilized for letters of credit and $241 million was available to support short-term liquidity requirements.
The bank lines contain two quarterly financial covenants: minimum tangible net worth of $450 million and maximum net debt to total capitalization, as defined, of 65%. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants at period-end.

Stock Options
Year-to-date, 0.2 million stock options were granted (2014 – 0.2 million) under the Company’s stock option plan. Year-to-date, stock option expense of $1 million was recorded with a corresponding increase in contributed surplus (2014 – less than $1 million).
Upon closing of the Merger, each outstanding Ainsworth stock option was exchanged for a replacement option to acquire a number of Norbord common shares using the exchange ratio as provided in the plan of arrangement. All such replacement options vested immediately upon closing of the Merger. Otherwise all terms and conditions of a replacement option, including the terms of expiry, conditions to and manner of exercising, are the same as the Ainsworth stock options immediately prior to the closing of the Merger. As a result, 0.4 million of replacement options were issued in exchange for the outstanding Ainsworth stock options.
During the quarter, 0.1 million common shares were issued as a result of options exercised under the stock option plan for total proceeds of $1 million (2014 – no stock options were exercised).
Dividend Reinvestment Plan
Year-to-date, less than $1 million of dividends were reinvested in common shares (2014 – less than $1 million).
Merger Reserve
Merger reserve represents the difference between the fair value of the Norbord common shares on the date of issuance, and the book value of the Ainsworth common shares exchanged upon closing of the Merger (note 1).

Derivative Financial Instruments
Canadian Dollar Monetary Hedge
At period-end, the Company had a foreign currency forward contract representing a notional amount of CAD $16 million (December 31, 2014 – CAD $9 million; January 1, 2014 – CAD $1 million) in place to buy US dollars and sell Canadian dollars with a maturity of July 2015. The fair value of this contract at period-end is an unrealized gain of less than $1 million (December 31, 2014 and January 1, 2014 – an unrealized gain of less than $1 million); the carrying value of the derivative instrument is equivalent to the unrealized gain at period-end.
10
Euro Cash Flow Hedge
At period-end, the Company had foreign currency options representing a notional amount of €25 million (December 31, 2014 – €55 million; January 1, 2014 – €100 million) in place to buy Pounds Sterling and sell Euros with maturities between July and November 2015. The fair value of these contracts at period-end is $1 million (December 31, 2014 and January 1, 2014 – less than $1 million) (see note 5).
Derivative instruments are measured at fair value as determined using valuation techniques under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of over-the-counter derivative financial instruments are based on broker quotes or observable market rates. Those quotes are tested for reasonableness by discounting expected future cash flows using market interest and exchanges rates for a similar instrument at the measurement date. Fair values reflect the credit risk of the instrument for the Company and counterparty when appropriate. Year-to-date, realized gains on the Company’s matured currency hedges were less than $1 million (2014 – less than $1 million). Realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivative financial instruments are offset by realized and unrealized losses and gains on the underlying exposures being hedged.
Embedded Call Option
The Ainsworth Notes contained an embedded call option, whereby Ainsworth had the right to repurchase 10% of the original principal of the Ainsworth Notes each year in the first two years, and the right to redeem the Ainsworth Notes subsequently. The derivative financial instrument was recorded at fair value in other assets at issuance of the Ainsworth Notes and was revalued at each reporting period based on the market value of the Ainsworth Notes, the current interest rates and the credit spread. As a result of the redemption of the Ainsworth Notes in April 2015, the derivative financial instrument was extinguished and the remaining carrying value written-off (see note 6). Year-to-date, $5 million (2014 – $3 million) in revaluation gains were recognized.
NOTE 12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In the normal course of operations, the Company enters into various transactions on market terms with related parties which have been measured at exchange value and recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The following transactions have occurred between the Company and its related parties during the normal course of business.
The Company periodically purchases goods from or engages the services of Brookfield for various financial, real estate and other business advisory services. Year-to-date, the fees for services rendered and the cost of goods purchased were less than $1 million (2014 – less than $1 million).
Sales to Asian markets are handled by Interex Forest Products Ltd. (Interex), a cooperative sales company over which Norbord, as a shareholder, has significant influence. At period-end, $5 million (December 31, 2014 – $2 million; January 1, 2014 – $3 million) due from Interex was included in accounts receivable.

NOTE 13. GEOGRAPHIC SEGMENTS

(f) | Notes to the Prior Period Financial Statements Reconciliations |
(i) | Functional currency |
For the periods prior to March 31, 2015, Ainsworth had assessed their functional currency to be Canadian dollars. For presentation purposes, all foreign-currency denominated assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date, and all foreign-currency denominated revenues and expenses at average rates during the period. Equity items are translated at historical rates. Gain or losses on translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income.
Upon closing of the Merger, the functional currency of Ainsworth was re-assessed and determined to be US dollars. Based on the change in functional currency, effective April 1, 2015, all foreign-currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date. Foreign-currency denominated non-monetary assets and liabilities, measured at historic costs, are translated at the rate of exchange at the transaction date. Foreign-currency denominated revenues and expenses are translated at average rates during the period. Equity items are translated at historical rates. Gains or losses on translation are included in earnings.
(ii) | Conformity in presentation |
Amounts were reclassified to conform to Norbord’s presentation policies.
(iii) | Presentation of costs |
Costs were incurred related to a terminated transaction with Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (LP) and do not have a continuing impact on Norbord’s financial results.
The following are supplemental balance sheet disclosures of the combined entity as at December 31, 2014 and they provide additional detail of significant balance sheet items not previously disclosed elsewhere in these financial statements.

NOTE 17. INCOME TAX
Deferred income tax balances reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
The source of deferred income tax balances is as follows:
(US $ millions) | Dec 31, 2014 | Jan 1, 2014 | ||||||
Property, plant and equipment, differences in basis | $ | (261 | ) | $ | (270 | ) | ||
Benefit of tax loss carryforwards | 128 | 85 | ||||||
Other differences in basis | 10 | 13 | ||||||
|
|
|
| |||||
Net deferred income tax liabilities | $ | (123 | ) | $ | (172 | ) | ||
|
|
|
|
21
(US $ millions) | Dec 31, 2014 | Jan 1, 2014 | ||||||
Deferred income tax assets | $ | 29 | $ | 14 | ||||
Deferred income tax liabilities | (152 | ) | (186 | ) | ||||
|
|
|
| |||||
Net deferred income tax liabilities | $ | (123 | ) | $ | (172 | ) | ||
|
|
|
|
As at December 31, 2014, Norbord had the following approximate tax attributes available to carry forward:
Amount (millions) | Latest Expiry Year | |||
Tax loss carryforwards | ||||
Belgium | €34 | Indefinite | ||
Canada – non-capital loss | CAD$300 | 2034 | ||
Canada – capital loss | CAD$226 | Indefinite | ||
United States | US$133 | 2034 |
The loss carryforwards may be utilized over the next several years to eliminate cash taxes otherwise payable, and they will protect future cash flows. Certain deferred tax benefits relating to the above attributes have been included in deferred income taxes in the consolidated financial statements. At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses its deferred income tax assets and recognizes the amounts that, in the judgement of management, are probable to be utilized.
The expiry date, if applicable, of the unrecognized deferred tax assets is as follows:
(US $ millions) | Dec 31, 2014 | Jan 1, 2014 | ||||||
2018 – 2034 | $ | 12 | $ | 19 | ||||
Do not expire | 39 | 36 | ||||||
|
|
|
| |||||
Total | $ | 51 | $ | 55 | ||||
|
|
|
|
The aggregate amount of temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries for which deferred tax assets have not been recognized as at December 31, 2014 is $394 million (January 1, 2014 – $322 million).
