3. Changes in accounting policies

  

ADOPTION OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The following standards have been adopted by the Company on October 1, 2019:

IFRS 16 - Leases

Adoption IFRS 16 - Leases

In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, Leases, to set out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a lease agreement. The standard supersedes IAS 17, Leases, and other leases related interpretations, eliminates the lessee’s classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases and introduces a single lessee accounting model. Lessees recognize a right-of-use asset representing its control of, and right to use, the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make future lease payments. The Company adopted IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective method, with no restatement of comparative figures. The Company applied the new standard to contracts that were classified as leases under IAS 17 at the date of initial application. The right-of-use assets were recognized as if IFRS 16 had been applied since the commencement date for real estate leases. For all other leases, the right-of-use assets were measured at an amount equal to the lease liability adjusted by the prepaid amount and the accrued lease payment related to the lease in the balance sheet as at September 30, 2019.

The Company made use of the following practical expedients available on transition date: the definition of a lease, the use of hindsight in determining the lease term, the exclusion of initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the transition date, the usage of a single incremental borrowing rate for a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics and adjusting the right-of-use assets for any onerous lease provisions as an alternative to an impairment review.

Changes in accounting policies (continued)

 

ADOPTION OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (CONTINUED)

 

IFRS 16 - Leases (continued)

Accounting policy

The Company identifies a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a specific period in exchange for a determined consideration. At inception, a right-of-use asset for the underlying asset and corresponding lease liability are presented in the consolidated balance sheet measured on a present value basis. Discount rate used in the present value calculation is the incremental borrowing rate unless the implicit interest rate in the lease can be readily determined.

Lease liabilities are measured at present value of non-cancellable payments, which are mostly made of fixed payments of rent excluding maintenance fees; variable payments that are based on an index or a rate; amounts expected to be payable as residual value guaranties and extension or termination option if reasonably certain to be exercised.

The lease liabilities are subsequently adjusted to reflect interests on the lease liabilities and lease payments made. Lease liabilities are remeasured when there is a modification in the lease term, in the assessment of an option to purchase, in the residual guarantees or in future lease payments due to a change of an index or rate tied to the payments.

The right-of-use assets are measured at initial lease liabilities adjusted by lease payments made before the commencement date, indirect costs and cash incentives received.

The right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term of the underlying asset and is reduced by impairment losses, if any.

The Company estimates the lease term in order to calculate the value of the lease liability at the initial date of the lease. Management uses judgement to determine the appropriate lease term based on the conditions of each lease. To determine the term, the Company considers all factors that create economic incentives to exercise an extension or a termination option. The extension or termination options are only included in the lease term if it is reasonably certain of being exercised. Management considers all facts that create incentive to exercise an extension option or not to take a termination option including leasehold improvements, significant modification of the underlying asset or a business decision.

The discount rate is used to determine the initial carrying amount of the lease liabilities and the right-of-use assets. The Company estimates the incremental borrowing rate for each lease or portfolio of leased assets, as most of the implicit interest rates in the leases are not readily determinable. To calculate the incremental borrowing rate, the Company considers its credit worthiness, the term of the arrangement, any collateral received and the economic environment. The incremental borrowing rates are subject to change mainly due to changes in the economic environment.

For the three months ended December 31, 2019, the impacts of the application of IFRS 16 are a decrease in property costs of $47,778,000, an increase in amortization and depreciation of $38,108,000 and finance costs of $7,908,000. In addition, the cash provided by operating activities increased of $39,200,000, with the offset presented in the cash used in financing activities.

Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 - Interest rate benchmark reform

In September 2019, the IASB has amended some of its requirements to address the uncertainty arising from the planned phasing out of interest-rate benchmarks such as interbank offered rates (IBORs). The amendments provide temporary relief from applying specific hedge accounting requirements affected by the interest rate benchmark reform. The amendments impact IFRS 9 Financial instruments, IAS 39 Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement and IFRS 7 Financial instruments: Disclosures. The amendments come into effect for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020 but early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to early adopt the Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 - Interest rate benchmark reform as at October 1, 2019 and applied retrospectively the reform to hedging relationship that existed on the application date and to the amount accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve at that date.

The Company has a debt expiring in December 2023 with a principal amount of U.S. $500,000,000 bearing interest based on the 1 month USD LIBOR rate. The debt has a carrying value of $647,779,000 as at December 31, 2019. The Company has entered into and designated as cash flow hedge cross-currency interest rate swaps with aggregate notional amounts of U.S. $500,000,000 and maturing on the same date as the debt (the hedging instruments) on which it receives interest based on the same 1 month USD LIBOR rate.

The Company is planning to renegotiate the terms of the debt and the swaps to replace the related LIBOR elements once a replacement rate for LIBOR is known. Until then, the Company assumes that the LIBOR interest rates used for the settlements on the debt and the swaps will continue to be available beyond the planned phase out date at the end of December 2021.

Stock options

Under the Company’s stock option plan, the Board of Directors may grant, at its discretion, stock options to purchase Class A subordinate voting shares to certain employees, officers and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries. The exercise price is established by the Board of Directors and is equal to the closing price of the Class A subordinate voting shares on the TSX on the day preceding the date of the grant. Stock options vest annually over four years from the date of the grant conditionally upon achievement of performance objectives and must be exercised within a ten-year period, except in the event of retirement, termination of employment or death.

The following table presents information concerning the number of outstanding stock options granted by the Company:

Performance share units (PSUs)

The Company operates two PSU plans with similar terms and conditions. Under both plans, the Board of Directors may grant PSUs to certain employees and officers which entitle them to receive one Class A subordinate voting share for each PSU. The vesting performance conditions are determined by the Board of Directors at the time of each grant. PSUs expire on the business day preceding December 31 of the third calendar year following the end of the fiscal year during which the PSU award was made, except in the event of retirement, termination of employment or death. Conditionally upon achievement of performance objectives, granted PSUs under the first plan vest annually over a period of four years from the date of the grant and granted PSUs under the second plan vest at the end of the four-year period.

Class A subordinate voting shares purchased in connection with the PSU plans are held in trusts for the benefit of the participants. The trusts, considered as structured entities, are consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements with the cost of the purchased shares recorded as a reduction of capital stock (Note 6a).

The following table presents information concerning the number of outstanding PSUs granted by the Company:

 

Outstanding as at September 30, 2019

9. Segmented information

  

Effective October 1, 2019, the Company realigned its management structure, resulting primarily in the creation of two new operating segments, namely Scandinavia (Sweden, Denmark and Norway) and Finland, Poland and Baltics, collectively formerly known as Northern Europe in the prior fiscal year. As a result, the Company is now managed through nine operating segments, namely: Western and Southern Europe (primarily France, Portugal and Belgium); United States of America (U.S.) Commercial and State Government; Canada; U.S. Federal; United Kingdom (U.K.) and Australia; Central and Eastern Europe (primarily Germany and Netherlands); Scandinavia; Finland, Poland and Baltics; and Asia Pacific Global Delivery Centers of Excellence (mainly India and Philippines) (Asia Pacific). This realignment of management structure also included, to a lesser extent, transfers of some lines of business between our operating segments.

The operating segments reflect the revised management structure and the way that the chief operating decision-maker, who is the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, evaluates the business. The following tables present information on the Company’s operations based on its revised management structure. The Company has retrospectively revised the segmented information for the comparative period to conform to the new segmented information structure.

Financial instruments

FAIR VALUE

All financial instruments are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently classified either at amortized cost, at fair value through earnings or at fair value through other comprehensive income.

The Company has made the following classifications:

Amortized cost

Trade accounts receivable, cash included in funds held for clients and long-term receivables within long-term financial assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, accrued compensation, long-term debt and clients’ funds obligations.

Fair value through earnings (FVTE)

Cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deferred compensation plan assets within long-term financial assets.

Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

Long-term bonds included in funds held for clients and in long-term investments within long-term financial assets.

FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY

Fair value measurements recognized in the consolidated balance sheet are categorized in accordance with the following levels:

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, but that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Valuation techniques used to value financial instruments are as follows:

 

  -

The fair value of Senior U.S. and euro unsecured notes, the unsecured committed revolving credit facility, the unsecured committed term loan credit facility and the other long-term debt is estimated by discounting expected cash flows at rates currently offered to the Company for debts of the same remaining maturities and conditions;

 

  -

The fair value of long-term bonds included in funds held for clients and in long-term investments is determined by discounting the future cash flows using observable inputs, such as interest rate yield curves or credit spreads, or according to similar transactions on an arm’s-length basis;

 

  -

The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the end of the reporting period;

 

  -

The fair value of cross-currency swaps and interest rate swaps is determined based on market data (primarily yield curves, exchange rates and interest rates) to calculate the present value of all estimated flows;

 

  -

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents is determined using observable quotes; and

 

  -

The fair value of deferred compensation plan assets within long-term financial assets is based on observable price quotations and net assets values at the reporting date.

There were no changes in valuation techniques during the three months ended December 31, 2019.
