Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
Three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021
Unaudited
(Tabular amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except number of shares)

1.    Reporting entity:

The principal business of Ballard Power Systems Inc. (the “Corporation”) is the sale and service of proton exchange membrane ("PEM") fuel cell products for the power product markets of Heavy-Duty Motive (consisting of bus, truck, rail and marine applications), Material Handling and Stationary Power Generation, as well as the delivery of Technology Solutions, including engineering services, technology transfer and the licensing and sale of the Corporation’s extensive intellectual property portfolio and fundamental knowledge for a variety of fuel cell applications. A fuel cell is an environmentally clean electrochemical device that combines hydrogen fuel with oxygen (from the air) to produce electricity.

The Corporation is a company domiciled in Canada and its registered office is located at 9000 Glenlyon Parkway, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada, V5J 5J8. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Corporation as at and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 comprise the Corporation and its subsidiaries.


2.    Basis of preparation:

(a)    Statement of compliance:

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Corporation 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 those significant accounting policies followed in the most recent annual consolidated financial statements except as noted below, and therefore should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2021 audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors on August 9, 2022.

(b)    Basis of measurement:

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following material items in the statement of financial position:

Financial assets classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL); and
Employee future benefits liability is recognized as the net of the present value of the defined benefit obligation, less the fair value of plan assets.

(c)    Functional and presentation currency:

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, which is the Corporation’s functional currency.

2.    Basis of preparation (cont'd):

(d)    Use of estimates:

The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) requires the Corporation’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Significant areas having estimation uncertainty include revenue recognition, asset impairment, warranty provision, inventory provision, financial assets including impairment of trade receivables, and employee future benefits. These assumptions are unchanged in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements and are the same as those applied in the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2021.

(e)    Future operations:

The Corporation is required to assess its ability to continue as a going concern or whether substantial doubt exists as to the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern into the foreseeable future. The Corporation has forecast its cash flows for the foreseeable future and despite the ongoing volatility and uncertainties inherent in the business, the Corporation believes it has adequate liquidity in cash and working capital to finance its operations. The Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern and realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business is dependent upon the Corporation having adequate liquidity and achieving profitable operations that are sustainable.

The Corporation’s strategy to mitigate this uncertainty is to continue its drive to attain profitable operations that are sustainable by executing a business plan that continues to focus on revenue growth, improving overall gross margins, maintaining discipline over operating expenses, managing working capital requirements, and securing additional financing to fund operations as needed until the Corporation does achieve profitable operations that are sustainable. Failure to implement this plan could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s financial condition and or results of operations.


3.    Significant accounting policies:

Except as described below, the accounting policies in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The Corporation has initially adopted Onerous Contracts – Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (Amendments to IAS 37), effective January 1, 2022. A number of other new standards are also effective January 1, 2022 but they did not have a material impact on the Corporation's financial statements.

Onerous Contracts – Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (Amendments to IAS 37)

IAS 37 does not specify which costs are included as a cost of fulfilling a contract when determining whether a contract is onerous. The IASB’s amendments address this issue by clarifying that the "costs of fulfilling a contract" comprise both:

(Tabular amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except number of shares)
3.    Significant accounting policies (cont'd):

Onerous Contracts – Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (Amendments to IAS 37) (cont'd)

the incremental costs – e.g. direct labour and materials; and

an allocation of other direct costs – e.g. an allocation of the depreciation charge for an item of PPE used in fulfilling the contract.

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 and apply to contracts existing at the date when the amendments are first applied. At the date of initial application of the amendments to IAS 37, the cumulative effect of applying the amendments is recognized as an opening balance adjustment to retained earnings or other component of equity, as appropriate. The comparatives are not restated.

On completion of a review of the Corporation's "open" contracts as of December 31, 2021, it was determined that on adoption of the Amendments to IAS 37 on January 1, 2022, additional onerous contract costs of $1,200,000 were recognized as an opening balance adjustment to accumulated deficit. As of June 30, 2022, total onerous contract cost provisions of $1,500,000 have been accrued in provisions and other current liabilities.


4.    Critical judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty:

Critical judgments in applying accounting policies:
Critical judgments that management has made in the process of applying the Corporation’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements are limited to management’s assessment of the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern (note 2(e)).
Key sources of estimation uncertainty:
Key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty that have significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses within the next fiscal year include the following: revenue recognition, asset impairment, warranty provision, inventory provision, financial assets including impairment of trade receivables, and employee future benefits. These assumptions are unchanged in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements and are the same as those applied in the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2021.

22.    Financial Instruments:

(a)    Fair value:

The Corporation’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade and other receivables, investments, and trade and other payables. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, and trade and other payables approximate their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Short-term investments comprise term deposits with terms of greater than 90 days and a previously held investment in a Danish public company held by Ballard Power Systems Europe ("BPSE"). BPSE had an investment of approximately $5,000 in a Danish private company, Green Hydrogen Systems A/S which recently issued an initial public offering on the Danish stock exchange in June 2021. On June 17, 2021, BPSE received 259,551 shares in the new publicly-owned investment company (after relinquishing its shares in the previous privately-held company) initially valued at $1,681,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Corporation sold its remaining Green Hydrogen shares for net proceeds of $1,010,000.

Long-term investments (note 9) comprise newly-created hydrogen infrastructure and growth equity funds: HyCap Fund and Clean H2 Fund, and an investment in Forsee Power and Wisdom Motor, as well as equity-accounted investments: Weichai Ballard JV and Synergy Ballard JVCo. Changes in fair value and foreign exchange adjustments are recognized as gains or losses in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss and included in finance income (loss) and other (note 17). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Corporation recognized mark to market and foreign exchange losses of ($12,908,000) and ($21,482,000) (2021 - $1,844,000 and $1,844,000).

(b)    Credit risk:
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments requires impairment losses to be recognized based on “expected losses” that will occur in the future, incorporating forward looking information relating to defaults and applies a single ECL impairment model that applies to all financial assets within scope. ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Corporation in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Corporation expects to receive). Under IFRS 9, at each reporting date the Corporation is required to assess whether financial assets carried at amortized cost are credit-impaired.

As a result of this review for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Corporation did not recognize any additional estimated ECL impairment losses.
