notes to the consolidated financial statements

(unaudited)

 

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and follow the same accounting policies and methods of computation as, and should be read in conjunction with, the most recent annual financial statements, except for the accounting policy changes as described in note 2, Changes in Accounting Policies.

 

In the opinion of management, these interim consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary to present fairly Suncor Energy Inc.’s (Suncor) financial position at March 31, 2005 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.

 

Certain prior period comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

 

2. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

(a) Preferred Securities

 

On January 1, 2005 the company retroactively adopted the Canadian accounting standard related to disclosure and presentation of financial instruments. Accordingly, the company’s preferred securities, which were redeemed in March, 2004, have been reclassified as long-term debt. The company has also restated its property, plant and equipment and depreciation, depletion and amortization to reflect the capitalized interest that would have been incurred and amortized had the preferred securities been classified as debt during the period in which they were outstanding. The impact of adopting this accounting standard is as follows:

(b) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities

 

On January 1, 2005 the company adopted Canadian Accounting Guideline 15 “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)” without restatement of prior periods.  Accordingly, the company has consolidated the VIE related to the sale of equipment as described in note 11(c) of the company’s 2004 Annual Report. The impact of adopting this standard was an increase to property, plant and equipment of $14 million, an increase to materials and supplies inventory of $8 million and an increase to long-term debt of $22 million.

3. ENERGY MARKETING AND TRADING ACTIVITIES

 

The company uses physical and financial energy contracts, including swaps, forwards and options to gain market information and earn trading and marketing revenues. The results of these activates are reported as revenue and as energy trading and marketing activities in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings.

 

Physical energy marketing contracts involve activities intended to generate revenues. For the quarter ended March 31, 2005 these activities resulted in a net pretax gain of $2 million (2004 – pretax gain $1 million).

 

In addition to the financial derivatives used for hedging activities, the company also enters into various financial energy contracts for trading activities. The following information presents all positions for the financial instruments only. These energy trading activities are accounted for using the mark-to-market method and as such all financial instruments are recorded at fair value at each balance sheet date. For the quarter ended March 31, 2005, a net pretax gain of $2 million (2004 – pretax gain $2 million) from the settlement and revaluation of the financial contracts. The above amounts do not include the impact of related general and administrative costs.

 

The fair value of unsettled (unrealized) energy trading assets and liabilities are as follows:

Note: An option will have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the option.

 


(a)          For the three months ended March 31, 2004, diluted earnings per share is net earnings divided by the weighted-average number of diluted common shares. Interest on subordinated debentures, the revaluation of US$ subordinated debentures and the redemption of subordinated debentures by the issuance of common shares have an anti-dilutive impact, therefore they are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

 

(b)         Basic earnings per share is net earnings divided by the weighted-average number of common shares.

 

(c)          Diluted earnings per share is the adjusted net earnings, divided by the weighted-average number of diluted common shares.

6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

A common share option gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to purchase common shares at a predetermined price over a specified period of time.

 

After the date of grant, employees that hold options must earn the right to exercise them. This is done by the employee fulfilling a time requirement for service to the company, and with respect to certain options, is subject to accelerated vesting should the company meet predetermined performance criteria. Once this right has been earned, these options are considered vested.

 

The predetermined price at which an option can be exercised is equal to or greater than the market price of the common shares on the date the option is granted.

 

A performance vesting share unit is an award entitling employees to receive cash to varying degrees contingent upon Suncor’s shareholder return relative to a peer group of companies.

 

(a) Stock Option Plans

 

Under the SunShare long-term incentive plan, the company granted 264,000 options to new employees in the first quarter of 2005 (810,000 options granted during the first quarter of 2004).

 

On January 31, 2005, in connection with the achievement of a predetermined performance criterion, 2,062,000 SunShare options vested. These options represented approximately 25% of the then outstanding unvested options under the SunShare plan.

 

Under the company’s other plans, 1,291,000 options were granted in the first quarter of 2005 (1,226,000 options granted during the first quarter of 2004).

 

The fair values of all common share options granted during the period are estimated as at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The weighted-average fair values of the options granted and the weighted-average assumptions used in their determination are as noted below:

Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the first quarter of 2005 related to stock options plans was $4 million (2004 – $4 million).

 

Common share options granted prior to January 1, 2003 are not recognized as compensation expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The company’s reported net earnings attributable to common shareholders and earnings per share prepared in accordance with the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation would have been reduced for all common share options granted prior to 2003 to the pro forma amounts stated below:

9. ROYALTY ESTIMATE MEASUREMENT UNCERTAINTY

 

Alberta Crown royalties in effect for each Oil Sands project require payments to the Government of Alberta based on annual gross revenues less related transportation costs (R) less allowable costs (C), including the deduction of certain capital expenditures (the 25% R-C royalty), subject to a minimum payment of 1% of R. The Firebag project is being treated by the Government of Alberta as a separate project from the rest of the Oil Sands operations for royalty purposes. The 2004 calendar year was a transitional year for Oil Sands as the remaining amount of prior years’ allowable costs carried forward of approximately $600 million were claimed before the 25% R-C royalty applied to 2004 results.

 

Absolute royalties that may be payable in 2005 are highly sensitive to, among other factors, changes in crude oil and natural gas pricing, timing of the receipt of business interruption insurance proceeds, foreign exchange rates and total capital and operating costs for each project. Oil Sands pretax Crown royalty estimate was $87 million ($53 million after-tax) for the first three months of 2005 ($40 million after-tax in 2004). The annualized estimate of $450 million ($280 million after-tax) was based on three months of actual results, together with 2005 forward crude oil pricing as at March 31, 2005, current forecasts of capital and operating costs for the remainder of 2005, a Canadian/US foreign exchange rate of $0.82, and no receipts of business interruption insurance proceeds other than those recorded to date (see note 10). Accordingly, actual results will differ, and these differences may be material.

 

10. OIL SANDS FIRE, INSURANCE AND SUBSEQUENT EVENT

 

During the first quarter of 2005, accrued insurance proceeds from both the property loss and the business interruption policies, net of the write-off of the net book value of the damaged assets and the expenses incurred to fight the fire, safe the site, and investigate the cause and extent of the damage, was $63 million.

 

In April, 2005 the company received an initial $12 million in property loss insurance proceeds and $73 million in proceeds related to its business interruption insurance coverage. The business interruption insurance proceeds related to business activity in the first quarter of 2005 and have accordingly been recognized as revenue in the first quarter. Additional business interruption insurance proceeds will be recorded at the time of unconditional receipt.

Refer to the Quarterly Operating Summary for a discussion of financial measures not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

 


(1)          Cash flow from operations for the period; divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

 

(2)          Net earnings (2005 – $970 million; 2004 – $929 million) adjusted for after-tax financing expenses (2005 – income of $36 million; 2004 – income of $8 million) for the twelve month period ended; divided by average capital employed (2005 – $5,958 million; 2004 – $5,802 million). Average capital employed is the sum of shareholders’ equity and short-term debt plus long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents, at the beginning and end of the year, divided by two, less capitalized costs related to major projects in progress (as applicable). Return on capital employed (ROCE) for Suncor operating segments as presented in the Quarterly Operating Summary is calculated in a manner consistent with consolidated ROCE. For a detailed reconciliation of ROCE prepared on an annual basis, see page 51 of Suncor’s 2004 Annual Report to Shareholders.

 

(3)          If capital employed were to include capitalized costs related to major projects in progress (average capital employed including major projects in progress: 2005 – $7,116 million; 2004 – $6,395 million), the return on capital employed would be as stated on this line.

 

(4)          Short-term debt plus long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents, divided by cash flow from operations for the twelve month period then ended.

 

(5)          Net earnings plus income taxes and interest expense, divided by the sum of interest expense and capitalized interest.

 

(6)          Cash flow from operations plus current income taxes and interest expense; divided by the sum of interest expense and capitalized interest.

 

(7)          Short-term debt plus long-term debt; divided by the sum of short-term debt, long-term debt and shareholders’ equity.

Non GAAP Financial Measures

 

Certain financial measures referred to in the Highlights and Quarterly Operating Summary are not prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).  Suncor includes cash flow from operations, return on capital employed and cash and total operating costs per barrel data because investors may use this information to analyze operating performance, leverage and liquidity.  The additional information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

 

Definitions

 

 

 

 

 

(1) Average sales price

-

This operating statistic is calculated before royalties and net of related transportation costs (including or excluding the impact of hedging activities as noted).

 

 

 

(2) Cash operating costs – Base operations

-

Include cash costs that are defined as operating, selling and general expenses (excluding inventory changes), accretion expense, taxes other than income taxes and the cost of bitumen imported from third parties. Per barrel amounts are based on mining production volumes. For a reconciliation of this non GAAP financial measure see Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

 

 

 

(3) Total cash operating costs – Base operations

-

Include cash operating costs – Base operations as defined above and cash start-up costs for in-situ operations. Per barrel amounts are based on mining production volumes.

 

 

 

(4) Total operating costs – Base operations

-

Include total cash operating costs – Base operations as defined above and non-cash operating costs. Per barrel amounts are based on mining production volumes.

 

 

 

(5) Cash operating costs – Firebag

-

Include cash costs that are defined as operating, selling and general expenses (excluding inventory changes), accretion expense and taxes other than income taxes. Per barrel amounts are based on in-situ production volumes.

 

 

 

(6) Total operating costs – Firebag

-

Include cash operating costs – Firebag as defined above and non-cash operating costs. Per barrel amounts are based on in-situ production volumes.

 

 

 

(7) Refining margin

-

This operating statistic is calculated as the average wholesale unit price from all products less average unit cost of crude oil.

 

 

 

(8) Retail margin

-

This operating statistic is calculated as the average street price of Sunoco (Energy, Marketing and Refining – Canada) and Phillips 66-branded (Refining and Marketing – U.S.A.) retail gasoline net of federal excise tax, as applicable, and other adjustments, less refining gasoline transfer price.

 

Explanatory Notes

 

*                                         Excludes the impact of hedging activities.

 

**                                  Currently all Natural Gas production is located in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin.

 

***                           Excludes exploratory wells in progress.

 

****                    If capital employed were to include capitalized costs related to major projects in progress, the return on capital employed would be as stated on this line.

 

(a) thousands of barrels per day

 

(b) dollars per barrel

 

(c) dollars per barrel rounded to the nearest $0.05

 

(d) millions of cubic feet per day
