1. Condensed interim consolidated financial statements
(a)     Basis of presentation
The notes presented in our condensed interim consolidated financial statements include only significant events and transactions and are not fully inclusive of all matters normally disclosed in our annual audited financial statements; thus, our interim consolidated financial statements are referred to as condensed. Our financial results may vary from period to period during any fiscal year. The seasonality in our business, and consequently, our financial performance, mirrors that of our clients. Our revenues are typically higher in the third and fourth quarters than in other quarters.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, and are expressed in United States dollars and follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as set out in our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, other than as described in the section “Change in presentation” below. The generally accepted accounting principles that we use are International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS-IASB). Our condensed interim consolidated financial statements comply with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting and reflect all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) that are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements as at and for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 were authorized by our Board of Directors for issue on August 4, 2023.

(b)     Change in presentation
In our condensed interim consolidated statements of cash flows for the three- and six-month period ended June 30, 2022, we have reclassified $6 million and $11 million, respectively, of cash interest paid on credit facilities from cash flows from operating activities, to cash flows from financing activities. This change in presentation is consistent with the annual disclosures included in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.
In our condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position, we have reclassified certain current and non-current provisions previously included in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and Other long-term liabilities, respectively, based on materiality. All amounts presented for the comparative period has been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.
(c)    Accounting policy developments
Initial application of standards, interpretations and amendments to standards and interpretations in the reporting period
In February 2021, the International Accounting Standards Board issued narrow-scope amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, IFRS Practice Statement 2, Making Materiality Judgements and IAS 8, Accounting Polices, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, although earlier application was permitted. The amendments require the disclosure of material accounting policy information rather than disclosing significant accounting policies, and clarify how to distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. Our financial disclosure is currently not materially affected by the application of the amendments.
In May 2021, the International Accounting Standards Board issued targeted amendments to IAS 12, Income Taxes. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, although earlier application was permitted. With a view to reducing diversity in reporting, the amendments clarify that companies are required to recognize deferred taxes on transactions where both assets and liabilities are recognized, such as with leases and asset retirement (decommissioning) obligations. Our financial performance or disclosure is currently not materially affected by the application of the amendments.
In May 2023, the International Accounting Standards Board issued International Tax Reform - Pillar Two Model Rules (Amendments to IAS 12), which amended IAS 12, Income Taxes. The amendments provide temporary relief from accounting for deferred income taxes arising from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's (OECD) Pillar Two model rules (such rules ensuring that large multinational corporations would be subject to a minimum 15% income tax rate in every jurisdiction in which they operate). As different jurisdictions are expected to implement the OECD rules at different speeds and at different points in time, the amendments are intended to help ensure consistency within, and comparability across, financial statements. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. We are currently assessing the impacts of the amended standard, but do not expect that our financial disclosure will be materially affected by the application of the amendments.
2. Capital structure financial policies
Our objective when managing capital is to maintain a flexible capital structure that optimizes the cost and availability of capital at acceptable risk levels.
In the management of capital and in its definition, we include owners’ equity (excluding accumulated other comprehensive income), long-term debt (including long-term credit facilities and any hedging assets or liabilities associated with our long-term debt, net of amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income and excluding lease liabilities) and cash and cash equivalents. We manage capital by monitoring the financial covenants in our credit facility (Note 13—Long-term debt).
We manage our capital structure and make adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of our business. In order to maintain or adjust our capital structure, we may issue new shares, issue new debt with different terms or characteristics, which may be used to replace existing debt, or pay down our debt balance with cash flows from operations.

In connection with our acquisition of WillowTree on January 3, 2023, we amended and expanded our existing credit facility to an aggregate $2.0 billion facility, consisting of an $800 million revolving credit facility and $1.2 billion in term loans payable in five years (see Note 11(b)—Intangible assets and goodwill—Business acquisitions for additional details on the acquisition of WillowTree, and Note 13(a)—Long-term debt—Credit facility for additional details on our credit facility).

4. Share-based compensation
(a)    Restricted share unit plan
Restricted share units
We have various restricted share unit award types, including equity-settled restricted share units (RSUs) and performance restricted share units (PSUs). All restricted share units are nominally equal in value to one TELUS International subordinate voting share. Beginning January 1, 2021, restricted share unit awards granted were equity-settled. The following table presents a summary of the activity related to our restricted share units:

(b)    Share option award plan
We have equity-settled share option awards (Share Options), and liability-accounted share option awards (Phantom Share Options). Share Options grant the right to the employee recipient to purchase and receive a subordinate voting share of TELUS International for a pre-determined exercise price. Phantom Share Options grant the right to the employee recipient to receive cash equal to the intrinsic value of the share option award, determined as the difference between the market price of a subordinate voting share of TELUS International and the exercise price. Share option awards are generally exercisable for a period of ten years from the time of grant. Beginning January 1, 2021, share option awards granted were equity-settled.

(b)Diluted (loss) earnings per share
Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated to give effect to the potential dilutive effect that could occur if additional equity shares were assumed to be issued under securities or instruments that may entitle their holders to obtain equity shares in the future, which include share-based compensation awards (see Note 4—Share-based compensation for additional details) and provisions for written put options (see Note 11(b)—Intangible assets and goodwill—Business acquisitions and Note 12—Provisions for additional details). The number of additional shares for inclusion in the diluted earnings per share calculation was determined using the treasury stock method.

We maintain allowances for lifetime expected credit losses related to doubtful accounts. Current economic conditions (including forward-looking macroeconomic data), historical information (including credit agency reports, if available), reasons for the accounts being past due and line of business from which the customer accounts receivable arose are all considered when determining whether to make allowances for past-due accounts. The same factors are considered when determining whether to write off amounts charged to the allowance for doubtful accounts against the customer accounts receivable. The doubtful accounts expense is calculated on a specific-identification basis for customer accounts receivable over a specific balance threshold and on a statistically derived allowance basis for the remainder. No customer accounts receivable balances are written off directly to bad debt expense.

9. Financial instruments
General
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and certain provisions approximate their fair values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying value of our provision for written put options is measured at the present value of the estimated future redemption amounts.
The fair values of the derivative financial instruments we use to manage our exposure to currency risks are estimated based upon quoted market prices in active markets for the same or similar financial instruments or on the current rates offered to us for financial instruments of the same maturity, as well as discounted future cash flows determined using current rates for similar financial instruments subject to similar risks and maturities (such fair value estimates being largely based on the European euro: US$ and Philippine peso: US$ forward exchange rates as at the statement of financial position dates).
Derivative
The derivative financial instruments that we measure at fair value on a recurring basis subsequent to initial recognition are as set out in the following table; all such items use significant other observable inputs (Level 2) for measuring fair value at the reporting date.

(b)    Business acquisitions
WillowTree
On January 3, 2023, we acquired 86% of the equity interest of WillowTree, a full-service digital product provider focused on end user experiences, such as native mobile applications and unified web interfaces. Certain WillowTree management team members retained approximately 14% of the total equity interest in WillowTree, and were granted written put options related to
13


this retained equity interest that are exercisable in tranches over a three-year period beginning in 2026. These written put options are subject to certain performance-based criteria tied to the WillowTree business, including compounded annual revenue growth rate and cumulative gross margin targets, and may be settled in cash or, at our option, a combination of cash and up to 70% in TELUS International subordinate voting shares. Concurrent with this acquisition, WillowTree management team members provided us with purchase call options, which substantially mirror the written put options. As a result of these purchase call options and written put options, we determined that the non-controlling interest held by the WillowTree management team members would be recognized as a financial liability in the form of provisions for the written put options. The provisions for the written put options were measured at the date of acquisition based on the present value of the estimated future redemption amounts.
The total purchase consideration for WillowTree was $1,174 million, net of assumed debt of WillowTree, comprising of $855 million in cash, $125 million of our subordinate voting shares, and $194 million in provisions for the written put options. Transaction costs for the acquisition were expensed as incurred.
The acquisition of WillowTree qualified as a business combination and was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the results of WillowTree have been included in our condensed interim consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition on January 3, 2023.
The acquisition brings key talent and diversity to our portfolio of next generation solutions, and further augments our digital consulting and client-centric software development capabilities. The primary factor that gives rise to the recognition of goodwill on this acquisition was the earnings capacity of the acquired business in excess of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired (such excess arising from the low level of tangible assets relative to the earnings capacity of the business). A portion of the amounts assigned to goodwill are deductible for income tax purposes.
As at June 30, 2023, the acquisition purchase price allocation was provisional, primarily in respect of customer contracts, related customer relationships and deferred income taxes, and subject to adjustments as we finalize our determination of fair value.
During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, WillowTree generated revenue of $45 million and $103 million, respectively, and net loss of $31 million and $51 million, respectively, which included amortization of intangible assets and interest expense on incremental borrowings on our credit facility, both arising from this transaction. As the acquisition closed on January 3, 2023, had the acquisition closed on January 1, 2023, our consolidated revenue and net (loss) income would have been the same.
WillowTree revenue
We recognize the WillowTree revenue by applying IFRS 15, Revenue from contracts with customers. Customer contracts are generally based on fees earned per-productive hour, where revenues are recognized as services are provided, or fixed-fee contracts, where revenues are estimated and recognized over-time using the input method. We apply the input method for WillowTree revenue by identifying each performance obligation at the inception of a customer contract, and recognize revenue based on costs incurred toward the satisfaction of each performance obligation relative to the total expected costs required to satisfy that performance obligation. Costs incurred are generally labor hours expended. When there are multiple performance obligations in a customer contract, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on relative stand-alone selling prices.
Other acquisitions
During the six month period ended June 30, 2023, we completed the acquisition of two businesses which expanded our customer experience operations into Morocco and South Africa, for total purchase consideration of $2 million (comprised of $1 million cash and $1 million in provisions), in exchange for net identifiable assets of $2 million. No goodwill was recognized.
As part of one of these acquisitions, we provided a performance earn-out to certain employees, subject to continued employment, with a maximum payout of approximately $7 million and payable in fiscal 2025, which may be settled in cash or, at our option, TELUS International subordinate voting shares (see Note 4(c)—Share-based compensation—Other).
During both the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, other acquisitions generated revenue of $1 million and net (loss) income of $nil. Had the acquisitions closed on January 1, 2023, during both the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, revenue would have increased by $1 million and net (loss) income would have been the same.

(a)    Credit facility
In connection with our acquisition of WillowTree on January 3, 2023 (see Note 11(b)—Intangible assets and goodwill—Business acquisitions), we amended and expanded our existing credit facility to an aggregate $2.0 billion credit facility, consisting of an $800 million revolving credit facility and an amortizing $1.2 billion term loan. The amended credit facility is secured by our assets with a syndicate of financial institutions, which includes TELUS Corporation as a lender, maturing on January 3, 2028. Upon closing this acquisition, we borrowed an aggregate of $963 million on the amended credit facility (comprised of $363 million from the revolving credit facility and $600 million from the term loan), to partially fund the WillowTree acquisition, repay a portion of long-term debt assumed in the transaction, and settle certain transaction costs incurred by WillowTree. As at June 30, 2023, the revolving credit facility and term loan had an effective interest rate of 7.20% (December 31, 2022 - 6.67%).

1.In the first quarter of 2023, we entered into a receive-floating interest rate, pay-fixed interest rate exchange agreement that effectively converts a portion of our interest obligations on the debt to a fixed rate of 3.52% plus applicable margins.
The amended credit facility bears interest at prime rate, U.S. dollar base rate, a bankers’ acceptance rate or Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) (all such terms as used or defined in the amended credit facility) plus applicable margins. The amended credit facility contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including two financial quarter-end ratio tests. Net Debt to EBITDA ratio must not exceed 4.25:1.00 for each quarter in fiscal 2023, 3.75:1.00 for each quarter in fiscal 2024 and 3.25:1.00 subsequently. The EBITDA to Debt Service (interest and scheduled principal repayment) ratio must not be less than 1.50:1.00, all as defined in the credit facility. If an acquisition with an aggregate cash consideration in excess of $250 million occurs in any twelve-month period, the maximum permitted Net Debt to EBITDA ratio per credit agreement may be increased by 0.50:1.00 and shall return to the then applicable Net Debt to EBITDA ratio after eight fiscal quarters.
The term loan of the amended credit facility is subject to an amortization schedule requiring that 1.25% of the original principal advanced be repaid each quarter beginning on June 30, 2023, with the balance due at maturity of the amended credit facility on January 3, 2028.
As at June 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all financial covenants, financial ratios and all of the terms and conditions of our amended credit facility and long-term debt agreement.

15. Contingent liabilities
(a)Indemnification obligations
In the normal course of operations, we provide indemnification in conjunction with certain transactions. The terms of these indemnification obligations range in duration. These indemnifications would require us to compensate the indemnified parties for costs incurred as a result of failure to comply with contractual obligations or litigation claims or statutory sanctions or damages that may be suffered by an indemnified party. In some cases, there is no maximum limit on these indemnification obligations. The overall maximum amount of an indemnification obligation will depend on future events and conditions and therefore cannot be reasonably estimated. Where appropriate, an indemnification obligation is recorded as a liability. Other than obligations recorded as liabilities at the time of such transactions, historically we have not made significant payments under these indemnifications. As at June 30, 2023, we had no liability recorded in respect of indemnification obligations (December 31, 2022 - $nil).
(b)Claims and lawsuits
We are party to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. The ultimate outcome of these matters is inherently uncertain. Therefore, if one or more of these matters were resolved against us for amounts in excess of management's estimates of loss, or if any outcome becomes more likely than not and estimable, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
