ATS CORPORATION
Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
    (in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts - unaudited)    

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

ATS Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “ATS” or the “Company”) uses its extensive knowledge base and global capabilities in custom automation, repeat automation, automation products and value-added services, including pre-automation and after-sales services, to address the sophisticated manufacturing automation systems and service needs of multinational customers.

The Company is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “ATS” and is incorporated and domiciled in Ontario, Canada. The address of its registered office is 730 Fountain Street North, Cambridge, Ontario, Canada.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three and six months ended October 1, 2023 were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) on November 7, 2023.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivative instruments that have been measured at fair value. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand, except where otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 - Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), have been omitted or condensed. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2023. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the presentation of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2023.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period. However, uncertainty about these estimates, judgments and assumptions could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next fiscal year, are consistent with those disclosed in the Company’s fiscal 2023 audited consolidated financial statements.

ATS CORPORATION
Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
    (in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts - unaudited)    

The Company based its estimates, judgments and assumptions on parameters available when the interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the estimates when they occur.

4. ACQUISITIONS

(a) Current year acquisitions

(i) On July 3, 2023, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of Odyssey Validation Consultants Limited ("Odyssey"), an Ireland-based provider of digitalization solutions for the life sciences industry. The total purchase price paid in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, pending post-closing adjustments, was $5,367 (3,711 Euros).

(ii) On June 30, 2023, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of Yazzoom B.V. (“Yazzoom”), a Belgium-based provider of artificial intelligence and machine learning based tools for industrial production. The total purchase price paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, pending post-closing adjustments, was $5,283 (3,655 Euros).

Cash used in investing activities for the two acquisitions was determined as follows:
Cash consideration$10,650 
Less: cash acquired(939)
$9,711 
The preliminary allocation of the purchase price at fair value for the two acquisitions is as follows:
Purchase price allocation
Cash$939 
Other current assets2,193 
Property, plant and equipment990 
Intangible assets with a definite life
Technology2,856 
Brands1,318

Current liabilities(3,849)
Deferred tax liability(622)
Net identifiable assets$5,913 
Residual purchase price allocated to goodwill4,737 
Purchase consideration$10,650 

Current assets include accounts receivable of $1,351, representing the fair value of accounts receivable expected to be collected.

The purchase cost was allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed have been determined on a provisional basis based on information that is currently

available to the Company. Final valuations of certain assets including working capital and intangible assets are not yet complete due to timing of the acquisition and the inherent complexity associated with valuations. The allocation to intangible assets has preliminarily been determined using relative values from comparable transactions. Therefore, the purchase price allocation is preliminary and is subject to adjustment upon completion of the valuation process and analysis of resulting tax effects.

The primary factors that contributed to a residual purchase price that resulted in the recognition of goodwill are: the acquired workforce, access to growth opportunities in new markets and with existing customers, and the combined strategic value to the Company’s growth plan. The amounts assigned to goodwill and intangible assets are not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. This acquisition was accounted for as a business combination with the Company as the acquirer of Yazzoom and Odyssey. The purchase method of accounting was used with an acquisition date of June 30, 2023 for Yazzoom, and July 3, 2023 for Odyssey.

(iii) On September 22, 2023, the Company announced it had entered a definitive agreement to acquire Avidity Science, LLC ("Avidity"), a growing designer and manufacturer of automated water purification solutions for biomedical and life science applications. The total purchase price is approximately $265,000 ($195,000 U.S.). The transaction is pending completion of customary regulatory filings and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of calendar 2023.

(b) Prior year acquisitions

(i) On March 28, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of the membership interest in Triad Unlimited LLC (“Triad”), a U.S.-based reliability engineering service provider to the North American and European markets. The total purchase price paid upon finalization of working capital adjustments was $20,623 ($15,166 U.S.). Included in the purchase price was contingent consideration of $7,953 ($5,849 U.S.), which is payable if certain performance targets are met within two years of the acquisition date.

(ii) On March 3, 2023, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of Zi-Argus Australia Pty Ltd. and Zi-Argus Ltd. (“ZIA”). ZIA is an automation systems integrator serving Southeast Asia and Australia with a focus on process control, factory floor automation, data center and Industry 4.0 digitization solutions. The total purchase price paid in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, pending post-closing adjustments, was $24,500 ($18,015 U.S.).

The fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed have been determined on a provisional basis for ZIA and was finalized for Triad, based on information currently available to the Company. Final valuations of certain assets including intangible assets and working capital of ZIA are not yet complete due to the inherent complexity associated with valuations. As well, the purchase price of the ZIA acquisition is subject to post-closing adjustments. During the six months ended October 1, 2023, changes to the purchase price allocation for the two acquisitions resulted in increases to purchase price of $283, cash of $336, intangible assets of $559, long-term debt of $421, the deferred tax liability of $92, decreases in working capital of $936, property, plant and equipment of $98, other long-term liabilities of $171 and an increase to goodwill of $764.

9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

During the three and six months ended October 1, 2023 and the three and six months ended October 2, 2022, there were no changes in the classification of financial assets as a result of a change in the purpose or use of those assets.

During the three and six months ended October 1, 2023 and the three and six months ended October 2, 2022, there were no transfers of financial instruments between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and no transfers into or out of Level 3 fair value measurements.

Instruments not subject to hedge accounting
As part of the Company’s risk management strategy, forward contract derivative financial instruments are used to manage foreign currency exposure related to the translation of foreign currency net assets to the subsidiary’s functional currency. As these instruments have not been designated as hedges, the change in fair value is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the interim condensed consolidated statements of income.

Warranty provisions
Warranty provisions are related to sales of products and are based on experience reflecting statistical trends of warranty costs.

Restructuring
Restructuring charges are recognized in the period incurred and when the criteria for provisions are fulfilled. Termination benefits are recognized as a liability and an expense when the Company is demonstrably committed through a formal restructuring plan.

The Company periodically undertakes reviews of its operations to ensure alignment with strategic market opportunities. As part of this review, the Company has identified an opportunity to improve the cost structure of the organization and reallocate investment to growth areas. The majority of these actions are expected to be completed in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The estimated cost of these activities is between $15,000 and $20,000. In fiscal 2023, the Company completed a reorganization plan which primarily impacted certain management positions.

Other provisions
Other provisions are related to medical insurance expenses that have been incurred during the period but are not yet paid, and other miscellaneous provisions.

11. BANK INDEBTEDNESS AND LONG-TERM DEBT

Subsequent to October 1, 2023, the Company amended its senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) to extend the term loan maturity to match the maturity of the revolving line of credit. The Credit Facility consists of (i) a $750,000 secured committed revolving line of credit and (ii) a fully drawn $300,000 non-amortized secured term credit facility; both maturing on November 4, 2026. The Credit Facility is secured by the Company’s assets, including a pledge of shares of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries also provide guarantees under the Credit Facility. At October 1, 2023, the Company had utilized $540,210 under the Credit Facility, of which $540,162 was
11

ATS CORPORATION
Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

classified as long-term debt (March 31, 2023 - $691,906) and $48 by way of letters of credit (March 31, 2023 - $48). During the six months ended October 1, 2023, the Company drew $314,286 and repaid $465,882 on its Credit Facility, which included proceeds from the public offering of the Company's common shares on the New York Stock Exchange.
The Credit Facility is available in Canadian dollars by way of prime rate advances and/or bankers’ acceptances, in U.S. dollars by way of base rate advances and/or Term SOFR, in Euros by way of EURIBOR advances, in British pounds sterling by way of Daily Simple SONIA advances, and by way of letters of credit for certain purposes. The interest rates applicable to the Credit Facility are determined based on a net debt-to-EBITDA ratio as defined in the Credit Facility. For prime rate advances and base rate advances, the interest rate is equal to the bank’s prime rate or the bank’s U.S. dollar base rate in Canada, respectively, plus a margin ranging from 0.45% to 2.00%. For bankers’ acceptances, Term SOFR, EURIBOR advances and Daily Simple SONIA advances, the interest rate is equal to the bankers’ acceptance fee, Term SOFR rate, EURIBOR rate or Daily Simple SONIA rate, respectively, plus a margin that varies from 1.45% to 3.00%. The Company pays a fee for usage of financial letters of credit that ranges from 1.45% to 3.00%, and a fee for usage of non-financial letters of credit that ranges from 0.97% to 2.00%. The Company pays a standby fee on the unadvanced portions of the amounts available for advance or drawdown under the Credit Facility at rates ranging from 0.29% to 0.60%. The Company's Credit Facility is subject to changes in market interest rates. Changes in economic conditions outside of the Company's control could result in higher interest rates, thereby increasing its interest expense. The Company uses a variable for fixed interest rate swap to hedge a portion of its Credit Facility (see note 8).

The Credit Facility is subject to financial covenants including a net debt-to-EBITDA test and an interest coverage test. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company is restricted from encumbering any assets with certain permitted exceptions. The Credit Facility also limits advances to subsidiaries and partially restricts the Company from repurchasing its common shares and paying dividends. At October 1, 2023, all of the covenants were met.

The Company has additional credit facilities available of $103,633 (40,756 Euros, $24,000 U.S., 45,000 Thai Baht, 5,000 GBP, 5,000 CNY, $150 AUD and $1,482 CAD). The total amount outstanding on these facilities as at October 1, 2023 was $5,372, of which $2,951 was classified as bank indebtedness (March 31, 2023 - $5,824), $1,827 was classified as long-term debt (March 31, 2023 - $202) and $594 by way of letters of credit (March 31, 2023 - $158). The interest rates applicable to the credit facilities range from 0.03% to 8.45% per annum. A portion of the long-term debt is secured by certain assets of the Company.

The Company’s U.S. $350,000 aggregate principal amount of senior notes (“the Senior Notes”) were issued at par, bear interest at a rate of 4.125% per annum and mature on December 15, 2028. After December 15, 2023, the Company may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at specified redemption prices and subject to certain conditions required by the Senior Notes. If the Company experiences a change of control, the Company may be required to repurchase the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. The Senior Notes contain customary covenants that restrict, subject to certain exceptions and thresholds, some of the activities of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Company’s ability to dispose of assets, incur additional debt, pay dividends, create liens, make investments, and engage in specified transactions with affiliates. At October 1, 2023, all of the covenants were met. Subject to certain exceptions, the Senior Notes are guaranteed by each of the subsidiaries of the Company that is a borrower or has guaranteed obligations under the Credit Facility. Transaction fees of $8,100 were deferred and are being amortized over the term of the Senior Notes.

14. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In the calculation of the stock-based compensation expense in the interim condensed consolidated statements of income, the fair values of the Company’s stock option grants were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for time-vesting stock. During the three and six months ended October 1, 2023, the Company granted nil and 176,112 time vesting stock options (14,312 and 223,144 in the three and six months ended October 2, 2022, respectively). The stock options granted vest over four years and expire on the seventh anniversary from the date of issue.

The fair values of the Company’s stock options issued during the periods presented were estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions. Expected stock price volatility was determined at the time of the grant by considering historical share price volatility. Expected stock option grant life was determined at the time of the grant by considering the average of the grant vesting period and the grant exercise period.

Restricted Share Unit Plan:

During the three and six months ended October 1, 2023, the Company granted 23,229 and 151,828 time-vesting restricted share units (“RSUs”), respectively (33,408 and 198,379 in the three and six months ended October 2, 2022) and nil and 126,944 performance-based RSUs, respectively (12,736 and 152,690 in the three and six months ended October 2, 2022). The Company measures these RSUs based on the fair value at the date of grant and a compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period in the interim condensed consolidated statements of income with a corresponding increase in contributed surplus. The performance-based RSUs vest upon successful achievement of certain operational and share price targets.

On May 18, 2022, the RSU plan was amended so that RSUs granted may be settled in ATS Common Shares, where deemed advisable by the Company, as an alternative to cash payments. It is the Company's intention to settle these RSUs with ATS Common Shares and therefore the Company measures these RSUs as equity awards based on fair value. At October 1, 2023, 725,290 shares are held in a trust and may be used to settle some or all of the RSU grants when they are fully vested. The trust is consolidated in the Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements with the value of the acquired common shares presented as a reduction of share capital.

16

ATS CORPORATION
Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
    (in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts - unaudited)    

The RSUs issued prior to May 18, 2022 give the employee the right to receive a cash payment based on the market value of a common share of the Company. The RSU liability is recognized quarterly based on the expired portion of the vesting period and the change in the Company’s stock price. The change in the value of the RSU liability is included in the interim condensed consolidated statements of income in the period of the change. At October 1, 2023, the value of the outstanding liability related to the RSU plan was $15,755 (March 31, 2023 - $36,177). The RSU liability is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position.

The weighted average remaining vesting period for the time-vesting RSUs and performance-based RSUs is 0.74 years.

Deferred Stock Unit Plan:

During the three and six months ended October 1, 2023, the Company granted nil and 29,395 units, respectively (three and six months ended October 2, 2022 - nil and 33,998 units). The Deferred Stock Unit ("DSU") liability is revalued at each reporting date based on the change in the Company's stock price. The change in the value of the DSU liability is included in the interim condensed consolidated statements of income. As at October 1, 2023, the value of the outstanding liability related to the DSUs was $24,004 (March 31, 2023 - $22,565). The DSU liability is revalued at each reporting date based on the change in the Company’s stock price. The DSU liability is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position. The change in the value of the DSU liability is included in the interim condensed consolidated statements of income in the period of change.

The Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements consist of purchase obligations, primarily commitments for material purchases, which have been entered into in the normal course of business.

In accordance with industry practice, the Company is liable to customers for obligations relating to contract completion and timely delivery. In the normal conduct of its operations, the Company may provide letters of credit as security for advances received from customers pending delivery and contract performance. In addition, the Company provides letters of credit for post-retirement obligations and may provide letters of credit as security on equipment under lease and on order. As at October 1, 2023, the total value of outstanding letters of credit was approximately $172,303 (March 31, 2023 - $192,508).

In the normal course of operations, the Company is party to a number of lawsuits, claims and contingencies. Although it is possible that liabilities may be incurred in instances for which no accruals have been made, the Company does not believe that the ultimate outcome of these matters will have a material impact on its interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position.

16. SEGMENTED DISCLOSURE

The Company’s operations are reported as one operating segment, Automation Systems, which plans, allocates resources, builds capabilities and implements best practices on a global basis.

Geographic segmentation of revenues is determined based on revenues by customer location. Non-current assets represent property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets that are attributable to individual geographic segments, based on location of the respective operations.

19. EARNINGS PER SHARE    

Basic earnings per share
Earnings per common share is calculated by dividing earnings attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

Diluted earnings per share
The treasury stock method is used to determine the dilutive impact of stock options and RSUs. This method assumes any proceeds from the exercise of stock options and vesting of RSUs would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period.
