Management’s Responsibility for Financial Reporting

 

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of DHX Media Ltd. (the “Company”) are the responsibility of management and have been approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Board is responsible for ensuring that management fulfills its responsibilities for financial reporting and is ultimately responsible for reviewing and approving the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The Board carries out this responsibility through its Audit Committee. The Audit Committee reviews the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and recommends their approval by the Board.

 

The Audit Committee is appointed by the Board and all of its members are independent directors. It meets with the Company’s management and reviews internal control and financial reporting matters to ensure that management is properly discharging its responsibilities before submitting the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements to the Board for approval.

 

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. When alternative methods of accounting exist, management has chosen those it deems most appropriate in the circumstances. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include amounts based on informed judgments and estimates of the expected effects of current events and transactions with appropriate consideration to materiality. In addition, in preparing the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, management must make determinations as to the relevancy of information to be included, and make estimates and assumptions that affect reported information. Actual results in the future may differ materially from our present assessment of this information because future events and circumstances may not occur as expected.

1Nature of business

 

DHX Media Ltd. (the “Company”) is a public company, and the ultimate parent, whose common shares are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”), admitted on May 19, 2006, under the symbols DHX.A and DHX.B. On June 23, 2015, the Company commenced trading its Variable Voting Shares on the NASDAQ Global Trading Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol DHXM. The Company, incorporated on February 12, 2004 under the laws of the Province of Nova Scotia, Canada, and continued on April 25, 2006 under the Canada Business Corporation Act, develops, produces and distributes films and television programs for the domestic and international market, broadcasts films and television programs for the domestic markets, as well, the Company manages copyrights, licensing and brands for third parties. The address of the Company’s head office is 1478 Queen Street, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, B3J 2H7.

 

2Basis of preparation

 

The Company prepares its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements (the “financial statements”) in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as set out in the Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada Handbook - Accounting - Part 1 (“CPA Canada Handbook”), which incorporates International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

 

These financial statements are in compliance with the International Accounting Standards 34, Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34") Accordingly, certain information included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, issued by IASB, have been omitted or condensed. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, have been set out in note 3 of the Company's annual consolidated statements for the year ended June 30, 2015. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2015.

 

These financial statements include all adjustments, composed of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary by management to fairly state the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

 

Theseconsolidated financial statements have been authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on May 11, 2016.

 

3Significant accounting policies, judgments and estimation uncertainty

 

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same policies and methods as the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended June 30, 2015, unless otherwise noted. Refer to note 3 of the Company's financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2015 for more information on new accounting standards and amendments not yet effective.

 

Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual profit or loss.

Amendment to IAS 38

 

In May 2014, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 38, stating that there is a rebuttable presumption that amortization methods based on the revenue generated by an activity that includes the use of an intangible asset is inappropriate. The amendment states that the presumption can be overcome when the intangible asset is expressed as a measure of revenue, or when it can be demonstrated that revenue and the consumption of the economic benefits of the intangible asset are highly correlated. This amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016, which will be July 1, 2016 for the Company, and is to be applied prospectively. The Company is currently reviewing the impact of this amendment on its financial statements. Based on its preliminary evaluation, the Company does not believe the amendment will have a material impact in its financial statements; however, the Company has not reached a final determination.

 

IFRS 16, Leases

 

In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, "Leases" ("IFRS 16") effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted for entities that have also adopted IFRS 15. IFRS 16 provides a comprehensive model for the measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and supersedes IAS 17, "Leases". The adoption of IFRS 16 will result in substantially all lessee leases being recorded on the balance sheet as an asset with a corresponding liability with both current and long-term portions. The Company is currently reviewing the impact of IFRS 16 on its financial statements.

Consolidated Structured Entity

 

To facilitate the production of two new television series (the “Productions”), the Company has entered into two production financing structures whereby entities, in which the Company has no direct ownership interest, will complete the Productions. The Company, through contractual agreements, has creative control of the Productions and must fund any overspend on the Productions. Therefore, the Company has the ability to direct the relevant activities of the entities and can use its power to affect the amount of returns it obtains. Consequently, the Company controls these entities and consolidates them. The underlying assets of the entities at March 31, 2016 were investment in film and television programs, cash, amounts receivable and account payable and liabilities are included in the Company’s consolidated results and totalled assets of $12,436 and liabilities of $12,436 (June 30, 2015 - $12,920 and $12,920 respectively).

Effective July 31, 2014 and commensurate with the closing of the Company’s acquisition of DHX Television, the Company entered into an amended and restated senior secured credit agreement (the “Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders, which amended the existing terms of the Company’s senior secured credit facility. The Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement was further amended on October 31, 2014, November 30, 2014 and December 19, 2014 in conjunction with: i) The acquisition of the Echo Bridge assets; ii) The issuance of the Senior Unsecured Notes (note 7 (c)); and iii) The acquisition of Nerd Corps, respectively. Additional amendments were completed on June 30, 2015, September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015.

 

All amounts borrowed pursuant to the Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”). A first priority security interest in respect of all of the capital stock of certain of the subsidiaries of DHX Media Ltd. has been provided in favour of the syndicate of lenders, as well as all present and after acquired real and personal property of the Guarantors.

 

a)Bank indebtedness

 

As of December 31, 2015, the Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement provides for a revolving facility (the “Amended Revolving Facility”) and a term facility (the “Amended Term Facility”). The Amended Revolving Facility is available to a maximum amount of $30,000, maturing on July 31, 2019. The Amended Revolving Facility may be drawn down by way of either $CDN bankers acceptances, $CDN prime, $USD base rate, $USD, €EUR and/or £GBP LIBOR advances (the “Drawdown Rate”) and bears interest at a floating rate ranging from the Drawdown Rate + 1.25% to the Drawdown Rate + 4.50% of the outstanding Amended Revolving Facility. At March 31, 2016, the entire amount of Amended Revolving Facility was payable in British pounds being £GBP 1,800 (June 30, 2015 - £GBP nil).

 

As at March 31, 2016, the Company had undrawn bank indebtedness of $26,642 available.

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had $13,410 (June 30, 2015 - $16,604) in undrawn interim production financing pursuant to an agreement entered into on August 5, 2014 with CIBC Commercial Banking to provide a $20,000 demand revolving loan, available by way of an unlimited number of individual loans (the “Segment Loans”) made to finance production expenses related to eligible productions (the “Eligible Productions”). The Segment Loans may be drawn down in either Canadian dollars or US dollars and bear interest of $CDN prime plus 0.75% or $USD base rate plus 0.75%, respectively. Each Segment Loan is secured by the tangible and intangible assets of each Eligible Production, assignment and direction of production financing contracts and tax credits and a subordinated, unsecured guarantee from DHX Media Ltd.

 

During the nine months ended March 31, 2016, the $CDN bank prime rate averaged 2.71% (year ended June 30, 2015 - 2.93%).

 

Federal and provincial film tax credits receivable (see note 4) are provided as security for the interim production financing. Upon collection of the film tax credits, the related interim production financing is repaid, as required by the financing agreement.

(i)Amended Term Facility

 

The Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement entered into on July 31, 2014, commensurate with the closing of the Company’s acquisition of DHX Television, provided for an Amended Term Facility with an initial principal amount of up to $235,000, maturing on July 31, 2019.

 

Effective November 13, 2014, commensurate with the closing of the Company’s acquisition of the Echo Bridge assets, the Amended Term Facility was amended to include an additional principal amount of US$12,000, maturing on July 31, 2019.

 

In conjunction with the issuance of the senior unsecured notes ("Senior Unsecured Notes" or "Notes"), the Company made a principal repayment on the Amended Term Facility of $151,760 and, accordingly, recognized a debt extinguishment charge, being a portion of the previously unamortized debt issue costs at the time of the principal repayment.

 

Effective December 23, 2014, commensurate with the closing of the Company’s acquisition of Nerd Corps, the Amended Term Facility was amended to include an additional principal amount of $20,000, maturing on July 31, 2019.

 

Effective December 31, 2015, the Amended Term Facility was amended to include additional principal amounts of $20,000 and US$20,000, maturing on July 31, 2019.

 

The Amended Term Facility is repayable in annual amortization payments (as a percentage of the principal amount of the Amended Term Facility) of 10% annually, payable in equal quarterly installments, which commenced on December 31, 2014, with the remaining balance due on maturity, which is July 31, 2019.

 

The Amended Term Facility may be drawn down by way of the Drawdown Rate and bears interest at a floating rate ranging from the Drawdown Rate + 1.25% to + 4.50%. All amounts borrowed pursuant to the Senior Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Guarantors. A first priority security interest in respect of all of the capital stock of certain of the subsidiaries of DHX Media Ltd. has been provided in favour of the syndicate of lenders, as well as all present and after acquired real and personal property of the Guarantors of the Amended Term Facility outstanding.

 

As at March 31, 2016, the Amended Term Facility is fully drawn, and the amount payable in US dollars was US$37,737 (June 30, 2015 - US$19,846); the remainder of the Amended Term Facility is payable in Canadian dollars.

 

The Senior Secured Credit Facilities require that the Company comply with certain financial ratios, including but not limited to:

 

Leverage Ratio, defined as net funded debt (the total of all obligations for borrowed money which bear interest or imputed interest, net of all non-production cash, excluding interim production financing, all capital lease obligations, and any contingent liabilities (“Net Funded Debt”) to consolidated adjusted EBITDA (rolling consolidated adjusted EBITDA, pro-forma last 12 months) less foreign exchange gains or losses on intercompany debt, production-related EBITDA and certain acquisition costs), which must be maintained at less than 3.50.

The Fixed Charge Ratio, defined as consolidated adjusted EBITDA less current income taxes and unfunded capital expenditures to fixed charges (consolidated interest expense and scheduled principal payments on Funded Debt) which must be maintained at greater than 1.5.

 

As at March 31, 2016, the Company is in compliance with these ratios.

 

(ii)Senior Unsecured Notes

 

On December 2, 2014, the Company completed a private placement of Senior Unsecured Notes due on December 2, 2021, with an aggregate principal amount of $175,000. The Senior Unsecured Notes bear interest of 5.875% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 2 and December 2 of each year until maturity. The first interest payment was paid on June 2, 2015. The Senior Unsecured Notes are guaranteed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries and are unsecured obligations.

 

As at March 31, 2016, the outstanding principal amount due on the Senior Unsecured Notes was $175,000 (June 30, 2015 - $175,000).

 

Net proceeds of $169,760 from the issuance of the Senior Unsecured Notes were used to repay debt under the Company’s Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement, with $18,000 being repaid on the Amended Revolving Facility and $151,760 being repaid on the Amended Term Facility.

 

The Senior Unsecured Notes contain embedded derivatives (the “Embedded Derivatives”). The Senior Unsecured Notes contain a redemption option (the "Redemption Option") whereby the Company can redeem all or part of the Senior Unsecured Notes. The Senior Unsecured Notes also contain a put option (the “Put Option”) whereby the lender can redeem all or part of the Senior Unsecured Notes upon a change of control of the Company. The Embedded Derivatives are required to be accounted for as separate embedded derivative financial instruments. On initial recognition, the Embedded Derivatives are recorded at their calculated fair values and grouped with the Senior Unsecured Notes. The Embedded Derivatives are adjusted to their fair values at each reporting date and any change in fair value is recorded within finance income/expense in the consolidated statements of income (note 10). On initial recognition, the carrying value of the Senior Unsecured Notes was reduced by the net fair value of the Embedded Derivatives, and is amortized over the term of the Senior Unsecured Notes.

 

The Notes contain non-financial covenants and customary events of default clauses. As of March 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all of its covenants under the Notes.

 

(iii)Principal repayments and undrawn borrowing facilities

 

The aggregate amount of principal repayments required in each of the next five years is as follows:

 

   $ 
Year ended June 30, 2016   4,693 
2017   18,705

Risk free interest rate   0.64%
Expected option life   5 years 
Expected volatility   41%
Expected dividend yield   0.75%

 

Changes in the assumptions can materially affect the fair value of estimates and therefore, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair value of stock options.

 

During the nine months ended March 31, 2016, 1,663,125 stock options were exercised at an average price of $1.65 per share for total proceeds of $2,746.

12Financial instruments

 

Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The value hierarchy has the following levels:

 

Level 1 - valuation based on quoted prices observed in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
   
Level 2 - valuation techniques based on inputs that are quoted prices of similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices used in a valuation model that are observable for that instrument, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
   
Level 3 - valuation techniques with significant unobservable market inputs.

 

A financial instrument is classified to the lowest of the hierarchy for which a significant input has been considered in measuring fair value.

(1)The Company values its derivatives using valuations that are calibrated to the initial trade prices. Subsequent valuations are based on observable inputs to the valuation model.
(2)The fair values of the Embedded Derivatives are determined using valuation models.

 

Financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value

 

The carrying amounts reported on the financial statements for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities all approximate their fair values due to their immediate or short-term nature. Bank indebtedness was renegotiated during the previous year to reflect current interest rates; therefore, management believes the carrying amounts also approximate their fair values.

 

The following table summarizes the fair value and carrying value of other financial assets and liabilities that are not recognized at fair value on a recurring basis on the consolidated balance sheets:

Other liabilities (5)   Level 3    (22,488)   (22,488)   Level 3    (12,542)   (12,542)

 

(1)The interest rates on the Amended Term Facility resets every 90 days; therefore, the fair value, using a market approach approximates the carrying value.

 

(2)Management estimates the fair value using a market approach, based on publicly disclosed trades between arm's length parties.

 

(3)Management estimates the fair value using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on discount rates that reflect current conditions.

 

(4)Variable interest rates were renegotiated during the previous year, therefore management believes the fair value approximates the carrying value.

 

(5)The fair value of other liabilities, which includes the tangible benefit obligation and the long-term portion of certain other contractual liabilities, was estimated based on discounting the expected future cash flows at 6%. The key unobservable assumptions in calculating the fair value are the timing of the payments over the next six years related to the tangible benefit obligation included in other liabilities, and the discount rate used for discounting the other liabilities.

15Earnings per common share

 

a)Basic

 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of common shares in issue during the period.

Weighted average number of common shares   125,217,741    123,206,989    124,644,405    121,156,759 
Basic earnings per share   0.08    0.15    0.24    0.13 

 

b)Diluted

 

Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of common shares outstanding to assume conversion of all potentially dilutive instruments which are convertible into common shares. The Company has two categories of potentially dilutive instruments which are convertible into common shares: stock options and warrants. For both the stock options and the warrants, a calculation is completed to determine the number of common shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determined as the average market price of the Company’s outstanding common shares for the period), based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to the stock options and warrants. The number of shares calculated above is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming exercises of the warrants and stock options.

 

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016 the weighted average number of potentially dilutive instruments, comprised of shares issuable in respect of warrants and stock options, was 1,000,197 and 1,716,841 respectively (March 31, 2015 2,890,772 and 3,045,221).

18Subsequent events

 

a)On May 2, 2016, the Company closed a bought deal public offering of shares (the “Equity Offering”), comprised of both Variable Voting Shares and Common Voting Shares (collectively, the “Shares”) through a syndicate of underwriters (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company issued 8,667,000 Shares of the Company at a price of $7.50 per Share for aggregate gross proceeds of $65.0 million.  As part of the Equity Offering, the Company granted to the Underwriters an over-allotment option exercisable at any time up to 30 days after closing of the Equity Offering to acquire up to an additional 1,300,050 Shares. In the event that the over-allotment option is exercised in full, the aggregate gross proceeds of the Equity Offering will be approximately $74.8 million.  The net proceeds from the Equity Offering will be used to repay borrowings under the Company’s Amended Term Facility, to fund its third party content properties and associated global distribution plans, and for general corporate and working capital purposes, including potential acquisitions.

 

b)On May 13, 2016, the Company closed a private offering (the “Bond Offering”) of an additional $50 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.875% Senior Unsecured Notes due December 2, 2021 through a syndicate of underwriters at a price of $975.00 per $1,000.00 principal amount, plus accrued interest from and including December 2, 2015 through May 13, 2016.  The net proceeds of the Bond Offering will be used to repay borrowings under the Company’s Amended Term Facility.
