Press Release Including 2008 Outlook and Interim Unaudited Financial
Statements of Suncor Energy Inc. for the fourth fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2007.

 

 



 

 

Suncor Energy reports financial results for 2007 and operational goals for 2008

 

(All financial figures are approximate and in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.)

 

Certain financial measures referred to in this document are not prescribed by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). For a description of these measures, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” on page 5. This document makes reference to barrels of oil equivalent (boe). A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas: one barrel of crude oil is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Accordingly, boe measures may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation.

 

Calgary, Alberta (January 22, 2008) – Suncor Energy Inc. today reported 2007 net earnings of $2.832 billion ($6.14 per common share), compared to $2.971 billion ($6.47 per common share) in 2006. Excluding the effects of the reduction of federal and Alberta income tax rates, net insurance proceeds (relating to a January 2005 fire), unrealized foreign exchange gains on the company’s U.S. dollar denominated long-term debt and project start-up costs, 2007 net earnings were $2.239 billion ($4.86 per common share), compared to $2.350 billion ($5.12 per common share) in 2006. Cash flow from operations in 2007 was $3.805 billion, compared to $4.533 billion in 2006.

 

The decrease in net earnings primarily reflects the impact of scheduled and unscheduled maintenance that reduced crude oil production and increased operating expenses. The largest impacts on financial results were a scheduled 50-day maintenance shutdown to portions of Suncor’s oil sands operation to tie in new facilities related to a planned expansion and a scheduled 120-day shutdown to portions of the Sarnia refinery to tie in new sour crude processing facilities. These impacts were partly offset by higher benchmark crude oil prices. The decrease in cash flow from operations was due to the same factors that impacted net earnings as well as an increase in cash income taxes during 2007.

 

“Suncor’s goal in 2007 was to continue to build the financial and physical foundation for future growth and profitability,” said Rick George, president and chief executive officer. “And we’re on track to increase production capacity by 35% in 2008.”

 

2007 Overview

 

·                        Combined oil sands and natural gas production in 2007 was 271,400 barrels of oil equivalent (boe) per day, compared to 294,800 boe per day in 2006. Oil sands production averaged 235,600 barrels per day (bpd) in 2007, compared to 260,000 bpd in 2006. Natural gas production averaged 215 million cubic feet equivalent (mmcfe) per day, compared to an average 209 mmcfe per day in 2006.

 

·                        Oil sands cash operating costs averaged $27.80 per barrel during 2007, compared to $21.70 per barrel in 2006. The increase in 2007 was primarily due to fixed costs being spread over lower production, as well as higher maintenance costs related to planned and unplanned shutdowns.

 

·                        Suncor continued to make progress on plans to expand Upgrader 2 and increase production capacity to 350,000 bpd, with completion targeted in 2008. As of December 31, the project was 95% complete.

·                        In July, Suncor filed a regulatory application for the Voyageur South mine extension. Bitumen produced at the proposed project is expected to provide additional feedstock flexibility.

 

·                        In Suncor’s downstream operations, investments were made to enable the company’s Sarnia refinery to integrate up to 40,000 bpd of oil sands sour crude into the facility.

 

·                        In September, Suncor commissioned its fourth wind power project. The 76 megawatt facility located near Ripley, Ontario is the company’s largest wind power project.

 

·                        Capital spending in 2007 totalled $5.4 billion. Net debt at year-end 2007 was $3.2 billion, compared to $1.8 billion at the end of 2006.

 

·                        Suncor achieved a company-wide return on capital employed of 28.3% in 2007 (excluding capitalized costs for major projects in progress), compared to 40.7% in 2006.

 

Fourth Quarter 2007

 

Suncor’s net earnings for the fourth quarter of 2007 were $963 million ($2.08 per common share), compared to $358 million ($0.78 per common share) in the fourth quarter of 2006. Excluding the reduction of federal income tax rates, net insurance proceeds (relating to a January 2005 fire), the impacts of unrealized foreign exchange gains/losses on the company’s U.S. dollar denominated long-term debt and project start-up costs, net earnings for the fourth quarter of 2007 were $598 million ($1.29 per common share), compared to $378 million ($0.82 per common share) during the fourth quarter of 2006. Cash flow from operations for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $1.104 billion, compared to $746 million in the fourth quarter of 2006.

 

The increase in net earnings primarily reflects higher oil sands operating revenues, as stronger price realizations more than offset lower production in the quarter. Net earnings were also positively impacted by lower oil sands royalty expense that primarily resulted from an increase in capital expenditures incurred. These factors were partially offset by lower earnings in refining and marketing due to the planned outage at the Sarnia refinery that resulted in increased product purchases to meet customer commitments. The increase in cash flow from operations in the fourth quarter of 2007, compared to the fourth quarter of 2006, was due to the same factors that impacted net earnings, partially offset by an increase in cash income taxes during the quarter.

 

Suncor’s combined oil sands and natural gas production for the fourth quarter was 290,700 boe per day, compared to 301,100 boe per day in the same period of 2006. Natural gas production increased to an average of 229 mmcfe per day in the fourth quarter of 2007, compared to the 208 mmcfe per day recorded in the fourth quarter of 2006. Oil sands production in the fourth quarter of 2007 averaged 252,500 bpd, compared to fourth quarter 2006 production of 266,400 bpd.

 

Fourth quarter 2007 oil sands cash operating costs were $27.90 per barrel, compared to $25.65 per barrel in the same period of 2006. Cash operating costs per barrel were higher in the fourth quarter of 2007 primarily due to the operating costs being allocated across reduced production volumes.

 

In the downstream, a shutdown of the Sarnia refinery to tie in modified facilities was completed in November. During commissioning of the new facilities in December, operational difficulties were encountered resulting in a lengthier than planned start-up period. As a result, full production from the

new facilities has not yet been achieved. Work is ongoing at the refinery to address this issue. Planned maintenance work was also conducted at the company’s Commerce City refinery in the fourth quarter of 2007.

 

Operational Outlook

 

“We plan on establishing new milestones for our company in 2008 and anticipate a record-setting year for production,” said George. “Safe, reliable, cost effective and environmentally responsible operations will be the focus.”

 

Suncor’s outlook provides management’s targets for 2008 in certain key areas of the company’s business. Outlook forecasts are subject to change.

1.                    Cash operating cost estimates are based on the following assumptions: i) production volumes and sales mix as described in the table above; and ii) a natural gas price of $6.70 per gigajoule at AECO. This goal also includes costs incurred for third-party bitumen processing. Cash operating costs per barrel are not prescribed by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). This non-GAAP financial measure does not have any standardized meaning and therefore is unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Suncor includes this non-GAAP financial measure because investors may use this information to analyze operating performance. This information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.

 

2.                    Production target includes natural gas liquids (NGL) and crude oil converted into mmcf equivalent at a ratio of one barrel of NGL/crude oil: six thousand cubic feet of natural gas. This conversion ratio is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. This mmcf equivalent may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation.

 

Factors that could potentially impact Suncor’s financial performance include:

 

 

3



 

·                        Planned maintenance at oil sands. Upgrader 1 is expected to be shut down for approximately 30 days in the second quarter while scheduled maintenance is underway. Although this shutdown is reflected in operational targets for the year, production estimates could be impacted if unplanned work is identified, or the schedule is impacted by labour or material supply issues. During the outage, Upgrader 2 is expected to continue producing approximately 200,000 bpd.

 

·                        Completion and commissioning of an expansion to Upgrader 2 during the second quarter to enable production capacity of 350,000 bpd. Production rates during the ramp-up period are difficult to predict and can be impacted by bitumen supply, as well as planned and unplanned maintenance. However, Suncor expects to move towards the 350,000 bpd capacity in the fourth quarter.

 

·                        Regulatory requirements at the company’s oil sands base plant and in-situ operation. Suncor plans to incur maintenance and capital expenditures to construct and commission emission abatement equipment. The timing and scope of this work could impact 2008 results.

 

·                        Bitumen supply. If Suncor encounters unexpected issues in meeting regulatory requirements aimed at controlling emissions at both base plant and the in-situ operation, there may be further bitumen supply restrictions that could impact 2008 production targets.

 

·                        Production volumes at the Sarnia refinery. Suncor is lining-out new facilities at the refinery and this work could impact future production. In addition, third-party hydrogen is in tight supply and this could also reduce production volumes resulting in increased purchases of products to meet customer requirements.

 

·                        Crude oil hedges. Suncor has hedging agreements for 10,000 bpd in 2008. These costless collar hedges have an average floor of US$59.85 per barrel with an average ceiling of US$101.06 per barrel in 2008.

 

Information on risks, uncertainties and other factors that could affect these plans is included in Suncor’s annual report to shareholders and other documents filed with regulatory authorities.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Certain financial measures referred to in this news release, namely cash flow from operations, return on capital employed (ROCE) and oil sands cash and total operating costs per barrel, are not prescribed by GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Suncor includes these non-GAAP financial measures 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.

 

Cash flow from operations is expressed before changes in non-cash working capital. A reconciliation of net earnings to cash flow from operations is provided in the schedules of segmented data, which are an integral part of the company’s fourth quarter financial statements.

 

A reconciliation of cash flow from operations on a per common share basis is presented in the following table:

ROCE is calculated as net earnings (2007 - $2,653 million; 2006 - $2,997 million) adjusted for after-tax financing expense (2007 - income of $179 million; 2006 - loss of $26 million) for the twelve month period ended; divided by average capital employed (2007 - $9,376 million; 2006 - $7,357 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 average annual capitalized costs related to major projects in progress (as applicable). For more detail on how ROCE is calculated, see page 58 of Suncor’s 2006 Annual Report.

Q4/07 ROLLFORWARD

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 and note 3, Change in Segmented Disclosures.

 

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 December 31, 2007 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

 

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

 

 

2.   Changes in Accounting Policies

 

Financial Instruments

 

On January 1, 2007 the company adopted CICA Handbook Section 3855 “Financial Instruments, Recognition and Measurement”, Section 3865 “Hedging”, Section 1530 “Comprehensive Income” and Section 3251 “Equity”.

 

Sections 3855 and 3865 establish accounting and reporting standards for financial instruments and hedging activities, and require the initial recognition of financial instruments at fair value on the balance sheet. Section 1530 establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, where comprehensive income refers to all changes in equity (net assets) during a reporting period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners, and Section 3251 establishes standards for the presentation of equity and changes in equity during the reporting period.

 

The company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, derivative contracts, substantially all current liabilities (except for the current portions of asset retirement and pension obligations), and long-term debt. Unless otherwise noted, carrying values reflect the current fair value of the company’s financial instruments.

 

The estimated fair values of financial instruments have been determined based on the company’s assessment of available market information and/or appropriate valuation methodologies; however, these estimates may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts that could be realized or settled in a current market transaction. Upon initial recognition, each financial asset and financial liability instrument is recorded at fair value, adjusted for any transaction costs.

 

Derivative contracts, excluding those considered as normal purchases and normal sales, are required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge each period, changes in the fair value of the derivative and changes in the fair

 

 



 

value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in net earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge each period, the effective portions of the changes in fair value of the derivative are initially recorded in other comprehensive income and are recognized in net earnings when the hedged item is recognized. Ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of hedging instruments are recognized in net earnings immediately for both fair value and cash flow hedges.

 

Gains or losses arising from hedging activities, including the ineffective portion, are reported in the same caption as the hedged item. The determination of hedge effectiveness and the measurement of hedge ineffectiveness for cash flow hedges are based on internally derived valuations.

 

The company’s fixed-term debt is accounted for under the amortized cost method with the exception of the portion of debt that has related financial hedges which is accounted for under the fair value hedge methodology. We do not recognize gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of this debt until the gains or losses are realized.

 

The company’s equity section now contains a new caption “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”. In addition to containing the effective portions of the gains/losses on our cash flow hedges, accumulated other comprehensive income also contains the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment of our foreign operations.

 

Upon implementation and initial measurement under the new standards at January 1, 2007, the following adjustments, net of income taxes, were recorded to the Consolidated Balance Sheet:

 

Financial Assets (1)

$

42 million

 

Financial Liabilities (1)

$

29 million

 

Retained Earnings (2)

$

5 million

 

Cumulative Foreign Currency Translation (3)

$

71 million

 

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (4)

$

63 million

 

(1)          Recognition of fair value of derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges and fair value hedges, and the related income tax impacts

(2)          Impact on adoption of the measurement of ineffectiveness on derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges

(3)          Restatement of foreign currency translation adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive loss

(4)          Recognition of accumulated other comprehensive loss arising from the restatement of foreign currency translation adjustment, offset by accumulated other comprehensive income arising from the measurement of ineffectiveness on derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges

 

The comparative consolidated financial statements have not been restated, except for the presentation of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment.

 

Additional disclosure requirements for financial instruments have been approved by the CICA, and will be required disclosure for the company beginning January 1, 2008.

 

See Note 4 for a summary of financial instrument disclosures at December 31, 2007.

 

 



 

3.             Change in Segmented Disclosures

 

Consistent with the company’s organizational restructuring during the first quarter of 2007, results from our Canadian and U.S. downstream refining and marketing operations have been combined into a single business segment – Refining & Marketing. Comparative figures have been reclassified to reflect the combination of the previously disclosed Energy Marketing & Refining - Canada (EM&R) and Refining & Marketing – U.S.A. (R&M) segments. The results of company-wide energy marketing and trading activities will continue to be included in this segment. The financial results relating to the sales of oil sands and natural gas production will continue to be reported in their respective business segments. There was no impact to consolidated net earnings as a result of the restructuring.

 

Effective January 1, 2007, the company began allocating stock-based compensation expense to each of the reportable business segments.  Comparative figures have been reclassified to reflect the allocation of stock-based compensation. There was no impact to consolidated net earnings as a result of the allocation.

 

 

4.             Financial Instruments

 

(a) Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

 

The company’s financial instruments in the Consolidated Balance Sheet consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, derivative contracts, substantially all current liabilities (except for the current portions of asset retirement and pension obligations), and long-term debt. Unless otherwise noted, carrying values reflect the current fair value of the company’s financial instruments.

 

The estimated fair values of financial instruments have been determined based on the company’s assessment of available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies, or through comparisons to similar debt instruments; however, these estimates may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts that could be realized or settled in a current market transaction.

 

The company’s fixed-term debt is accounted for under the amortized cost method with the exception of the portion of debt that has related financial hedges which is accounted for under the fair value hedge methodology outlined below. Upon initial recognition, the cost of the debt is its fair value, adjusted for any associated transaction costs. We do not recognize gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of this debt until the gains or losses are realized. At December 31, 2007, the carrying value of our fixed-term debt accounted for under the amortized cost method was $3.0 billion (fair value - $3.1 billion).

 

(b) Hedges

 

Fair Value Hedges

Suncor periodically enters into derivative financial instrument contracts such as interest rate swaps as part of its risk management strategy to manage its exposure to benchmark interest rate fluctuations. The interest rate swap contracts involve an exchange of floating rate versus fixed rate interest payments between the company and investment grade counterparties. The differentials on the exchange of periodic interest payments are recognized in the accounts as an adjustment to interest expense. The fair value of the underlying debt is adjusted by the fair value change in the derivative financial instrument with the offset to interest expense.  At December

 

 



 

31, 2007, the company had interest rate derivatives classified as fair value hedges outstanding for up to 4 years relating to fixed-rate debt. There was no ineffectiveness recognized on interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges during the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2007.

 

The company periodically enters into derivative contracts to hedge risks specific to individual transactions. The differentials between the fair value of the hedged transactions and the fair value of the derivative contracts are recognized in the accounts as an adjustment to operating revenues. The earnings impact associated with hedge ineffectiveness on derivative contracts to hedge risks specific to individual transactions during the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2007 was a gain of $4 million, net of income taxes of $2 million.

 

Cash Flow Hedges

Suncor operates in a global industry where the market price of its petroleum and natural gas products is largely determined based on floating benchmark indices. The company periodically enters into derivative financial instrument contracts such as forwards, futures, swaps, options and costless collars to hedge against the potential adverse impact of changing market prices due to changes in the underlying indices. Specifically, the company manages crude sales price variability by entering into West Texas Intermediate (WTI) derivative transactions, and manages variability in market interest rates during periods of debt issuance through the use of interest rate swap transactions.

 

At December 31, 2007, the company had hedged a portion of its forecasted Canadian and U.S. dollar denominated cash flows subject to U.S. dollar WTI commodity risk for 2008.

 

The earnings impact associated with realized and unrealized hedge ineffectiveness on derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges during the three month period ended December 31, 2007 was a loss of $1 million. During the twelve month period ended December 31, 2007, the earnings impact was a loss of $5 million, net of income taxes of $2 million.

 

As at December 31, 2007, assets increased by $27 million and liabilities increased by $31 million as a result of recording derivative instruments at fair value in accordance with the new standards.

 

Fair Value of Hedging Derivative Financial Instruments

The fair value of hedging derivative financial instruments as recorded, is the estimated amount, based on broker quotes and/ or internal valuation models, that the company would receive (pay) to terminate the hedging derivative contracts. Such amounts, which also represent the unrecognized gain (loss) on the contracts, were as follows at December 31:

(c) Energy Marketing and Trading Activities

 

In addition to the financial derivatives used for hedging activities, the company uses physical and financial energy contracts, including swaps, forwards and options, to earn trading and marketing revenues. The financial energy trading activities are accounted for using the mark-to-market method and, as such, these derivative instruments are recorded at fair value at each balance sheet date.  Physical energy marketing contracts involve activities intended to enhance prices and satisfy physical deliveries to customers. The results of these activities are reported as revenue and as energy trading and marketing expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The net pretax earnings (loss) for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31 were as follows:

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

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

 



 

7.             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 criterion. 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 share unit is an award entitling employees to receive a payment ranging from zero to a maximum of 150% of the value of a common share contingent upon Suncor’s shareholder return over a three year period relative to a peer group of companies.

 

(a) Stock Option Plans:

 

(i) SunShare 2012 Performance Stock Option Plan

The company granted 147,000 options in the fourth quarter of 2007, for a total of 7,843,000 options granted in the year ended December 31, 2007, under its new employee stock option incentive plan (“SunShare 2012”). Under this plan, meeting specified performance targets may accelerate the vesting of some options, such that 25% of outstanding options may vest on January 1, 2010, and the remaining 75% of outstanding options may vest on January 1, 2013. All unvested options at January 1, 2013, which have not previously expired or been cancelled, will automatically expire.

 

(ii) SunShare Performance Stock Option Plan

Under the SunShare long-term incentive plan, the company granted 12,000 options to new and existing employees in the fourth quarter of 2007, for a total of 1,045,000 options granted in the year ended December 31, 2007 (405,000 options granted during the fourth quarter of 2006; 1,637,000 options granted in the year ended December 31, 2006).

 

On April 30, 2008, 50% of the outstanding, unvested SunShare options will vest. The remaining 50% of the outstanding, unvested SunShare options may vest on April 30, 2008 if the final predetermined performance criterion is met.  If the performance criterion is not met, the unvested options that have not previously expired or been cancelled, will automatically vest on January 1, 2012. Management believes that it is highly likely the final performance criterion will be met and that all unvested SunShare options at April 30, 2008 will therefore vest. Stock-based compensation expense has been recorded to reflect this assumption.

 

(iii) Executive Stock Option Plan

Under this plan, the company granted no common share options in the fourth quarter of 2007, for a total of 479,000 options granted in the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 (5,000 options granted during the fourth quarter of 2006; 538,000 granted in the twelve months ended December 31, 2006) to non-employee directors and certain executives and other senior members of the company. Options granted have a ten-year life and vest annually over a three-year period.

 



 

(iv) Key Contributor Stock Option Plan

Under this plan, the company granted 3,000 common share options in the fourth quarter of 2007, for a total of 1,185,000 options granted in the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 (1,000 options granted during the fourth quarter of 2006; 1,050,000 granted in the twelve months ended December 31, 2006) to non-insider senior managers and key employees.  Options granted have a ten-year life and vest annually over a three-year period.

 

Fair Value of Options Granted

The fair values of all common share options granted during the period are estimated as at the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation approach for the SunShare 2012 option plan and the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for all other option plans. The weighted-average fair values of the options granted during the various periods and the weighted-average assumptions used in their determination are as noted below:

Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the fourth quarter of 2007 related to stock options plans was $41 million (2006 - $22 million).  For the year ended December 31, 2007 stock-based compensation expense recognized was $103 million (2006 - $53 million).

 

Common share options granted prior to January 1, 2003 are not recognized as compensation expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. 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:

10.      Income Taxes

 

During the fourth quarter of 2007 the federal government substantively enacted a 3.5% reduction to its federal corporate tax rates.  Accordingly, the company recognized a reduction in future income tax expense of $360 million related to the revaluation of its opening future income tax balances.

 

During the second quarter of 2007 the federal government substantively enacted a 0.5% reduction to its federal corporate tax rates.  Accordingly, the company recognized a reduction in future income tax expense of $67 million related to the revaluation of its opening future income tax balances.

 

During the second quarter of 2006 the federal government substantively enacted a 3.1% reduction to its federal corporate tax rates.  Accordingly, the company recognized a reduction in future income tax expense of $292 million related to the revaluation of its opening future income tax balances.

 

During the second quarter of 2006 the provincial government of Alberta substantively enacted a 1.5% reduction to its provincial corporate tax rates.  Accordingly, the company recognized a reduction in future income tax expense of $127 million related to the revaluation of its opening future income tax balances.

 

A summary of the impacts on the tax rate changes for the three and twelve months ended December 31 are as follows:

11. Royalties

 

Our current estimation of Alberta Crown royalties is based on regulations currently in effect. Regime changes proposed by the Government of Alberta will take effect January, 2009 should they be enacted.

 

Alberta Crown royalties currently 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. Royalty expense for the company’s oil sands operations for the fourth quarter was $164 million (2006 - $229 million). For the year ended December 31, 2007, royalty expense for the company’s oil sands operations was $565 million (2006 - $911 million).

 

Royalty expense for the company’s natural gas operations for the fourth quarter was $37 million (2006 - $38 million). For the year ended December 31, 2007, royalty expense for the company’s natural gas operations was $126 million (2006 - $127 million).

 

12.  Long-term Debt and Credit Facilities

 

During the third quarter, the company issued an additional US$400 million principal amount of 6.50% Notes under an outstanding US$2 billion debt shelf prospectus. These notes bear interest, which is paid semi-annually, and mature on June 15, 2038. The net proceeds received were used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of short term borrowing, supporting Suncor’s ongoing capital spending program and for working capital requirements.

 

During the second quarter, the company issued 6.50% Notes with a principal amount of US$750 million under an outstanding US$2 billion debt shelf prospectus. These notes bear interest, which is paid semi-annually, and mature on June 15, 2038. The net proceeds received were used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of short term borrowing, supporting Suncor’s ongoing capital spending program and for working capital requirements.

 

Also during the second quarter, our $300 million bilateral credit facility was amended and extended by one year to 2008 and the credit limit was increased by $30 million to $330 million total funds available. Our $2 billion syndicated credit facility was renegotiated and extended by one year to have a five year term expiring in June 2012 and the company’s commercial paper program limit was increased by $300 million from $1.2 billion to $1.5 billion.  Additionally, a $15 million revolving demand credit facility was renegotiated and increased by $15 million to $30 million.

 

During the first quarter, the company repaid maturing 6.80% $250 million Medium Term Notes using commercial paper. Also during the first quarter, the company issued 5.39% Medium Term Notes with a principal amount of $600 million under an outstanding $2 billion debt shelf prospectus. These notes bear interest, which is paid semi-annually, and mature on March 26, 2037. The net proceeds received were used to repay commercial paper.

Refer to the Quarterly Operating Summary for a discussion of  financial measures not prepared in accordance with Canadian 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 adjusted for after-tax financing expense (2007 - income of $179 million; 2006 - loss of $26 million) for the twelve month period ended net earnings (2007 - $2,653 million; 2006 - $2,997 million); divided by average capital employed (2007 - $9,376 million; 2006 - $7,357 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 average 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 58 of Suncor’s 2006 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: 2007 - $12,830 million; 2006 - $9,833 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.
