CELESTICA ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Q2 2024 revenue and non-IFRS adjusted EPS* exceed the high end of guidance ranges; 2024 full-year outlook raised
TORONTO, Canada - Celestica Inc. (TSX: CLS) (NYSE: CLS), a leader in design, manufacturing, hardware platform and supply chain solutions for the world's most innovative companies, today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 (Q2 2024)†.
“We are pleased to deliver another quarter of very strong performance in Q2 2024, with revenue up 23% year-to-year and non-IFRS adjusted EPS* up 65% year-to-year”. said Rob Mionis, President and CEO, Celestica.
“With our strong performance in the first half of the year and favorable demand dynamics continuing, we are pleased to raise our full year 2024 outlook. We anticipate achieving revenue of $9.45 billion and non-IFRS adjusted EPS* of $3.62 in 2024, which, if achieved, would represent 19% and 49% growth, respectively, compared to 2023. We continue to stay focused on solid execution for our customers, and delivering on our strategic priorities and financial targets.”

• Key measures:
•Revenue: $2.39 billion, increased 23% compared to $1.94 billion for the second quarter of 2023 (Q2 2023).
•Non-IFRS operating margin*: 6.3%, compared to 5.5% for Q2 2023.
•ATS segment revenue decreased 11% compared to Q2 2023; ATS segment margin was 4.6% compared to 4.8% for Q2 2023.
•CCS segment revenue increased 51% compared to Q2 2023; CCS segment margin was 7.2% compared to 6.0% for Q2 2023.
•Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) (non-IFRS)*: $0.91, compared to $0.55 for Q2 2023.
•Adjusted return on invested capital (adjusted ROIC) (non-IFRS)*: 26.7%, compared to 20.0% for Q2 2023.
•Adjusted free cash flow (non-IFRS)*: $63.3 million, compared to $66.8 million for Q2 2023.
• Most directly comparable IFRS financial measures to non-IFRS measures above:
•Earnings from operations as a percentage of revenue: 5.7% compared to 4.5% for Q2 2023.
•EPS: $0.83 compared to $0.46 for Q2 2023.
•Return on invested capital (IFRS ROIC): 23.9% compared to 16.5% for Q2 2023.
•Cash provided by operations: $123.1 million compared to $130.2 million for Q2 2023.
• Repurchased 0.2 million common shares for cancellation for $10.0 million.
† Celestica has two operating and reportable segments: Advanced Technology Solutions (ATS) and Connectivity & Cloud Solutions (CCS). Our ATS segment consists of our ATS end market and is comprised of our Aerospace and Defense (A&D), Industrial, HealthTech and Capital Equipment businesses. Our CCS segment consists of our Communications and Enterprise (servers and storage) end markets. Segment performance is evaluated based on segment revenue, segment income and segment margin (segment income as a percentage of segment revenue). See note 3 to our June 30, 2024 unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements (Q2 2024 Interim Financial Statements) for further detail.
* Non-International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) financial measures (including ratios based on non-IFRS financial measures) do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar financial measures presented by other public companies that report under IFRS or U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). See “Non-IFRS Supplementary
Information” below for information on our rationale for the use of non-IFRS financial measures. See Schedule 1 for, among other items, non-IFRS financial measures included in this press release, their definitions, uses, and a reconciliation of historical non-IFRS financial measures to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measures. Schedule 1 also includes a description of modifications to the calculation of non-IFRS adjusted net earnings, non-IFRS adjusted EPS, non-IFRS adjusted tax expense and non-IFRS adjusted effective tax rate in Q2 2024 and the first half of 2024 (1H 2024) resulting from the enactment of Pillar Two (global minimum tax) legislation in Canada, and the recent amendment and restatement of our credit facility. The most directly comparable IFRS financial measures to non-IFRS operating margin, non-IFRS adjusted EPS, non-IFRS adjusted ROIC and non-IFRS adjusted free cash flow are earnings from operations as a percentage of revenue, EPS, IFRS ROIC, and cash provided by operations, respectively.
Third Quarter of 2024 (Q3 2024) Guidance
Q3 2024 Guidance | |||||
| Revenue (in billions) | $2.325 to $2.475 | ||||
| Non-IFRS operating margin* | 6.3% at the mid-point of our revenue and non-IFRS adjusted EPS guidance ranges | ||||
| Adjusted SG&A (non-IFRS)* (in millions) | $73 to $75 | ||||
| Adjusted EPS (non-IFRS)* | $0.86 to $0.96 | ||||
For Q3 2024, we expect a negative $0.16 to $0.22 per share (pre-tax) aggregate impact on net earnings on an IFRS basis for employee stock-based compensation (SBC) expense, amortization of intangible assets (excluding computer software), and restructuring charges. For Q3 2024, we also expect a non-IFRS adjusted effective tax rate* of approximately 20%, without accounting for foreign exchange impacts or unanticipated tax settlements.
2024 Annual Outlook Update
Building on our strong performance in Q2 2024, we are updating our 2024 outlook to the following:
•revenue of $9.45 billion (our previous outlook was $9.1 billion);
•non-IFRS operating margin* of 6.3% (our previous outlook was 6.1%); and
•non-IFRS adjusted EPS* of $3.62 (our previous outlook was $3.30).
Our previous non-IFRS adjusted free cash flow* outlook of $250 million for 2024 remains unchanged. The above outlook assumes an annual non-IFRS adjusted effective tax rate* of approximately 19% (which does not account for foreign exchange impacts or unanticipated tax settlements).
* See Schedule 1 for the definitions of these non-IFRS financial measures, including a modification to the calculation of non-IFRS adjusted EPS in Q2 2024 and 1H 2024 resulting from the enactment of Pillar Two legislation in Canada and the recent amendment and restatement of our credit facility. We do not provide reconciliations for forward-looking non-IFRS financial measures, as we are unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of various events that have not yet occurred, are out of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, and that would impact the most directly comparable forward-looking IFRS financial measure. For these same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. Forward-looking non-IFRS financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding IFRS financial measures.

*See Schedule 1 for, among other things, the definitions of these non-IFRS financial measures, including a modification to the calculation of non-IFRS adjusted EPS in Q2 2024 and 1H 2024 resulting from the enactment of Pillar Two legislation in Canada and the recent amendment and restatement of our credit facility, as well as a reconciliation of these non-IFRS financial measures to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measures.
(1) IFRS EPS of $0.83 for Q2 2024 included an aggregate charge of $0.23 (pre-tax) per share for employee SBC expense, amortization of intangible assets (excluding computer software), and restructuring charges. See the tables in Schedule 1 and note 9 to the Q2 2024 Interim Financial Statements for per-item charges. This aggregate charge was at the high end of our Q2 2024 guidance range of between $0.17 to $0.23 per share for these items.
IFRS EPS for Q2 2024 included: (i) a $0.14 per share negative tax impact arising from the enactment of Pillar Two (global minimum tax) legislation in Canada and incremental withholding tax accrued to minimize its impact (Pillar Two Impact), (ii) a $0.05 per share negative impact attributable to restructuring charges, (iii) a $0.03 per share negative impact attributable to Transition Costs (defined in Schedule 1), and (iv) a $0.01 per share negative impact attributable to acquisition costs, substantially all of which was offset set by: (a) a $0.13 per share positive impact attributable to a fair value gain (TRS Gain) on our total return swap agreement (TRS Agreement), (b) a $0.06 per share favorable tax impact attributable to the recognition of previously unrecognized deferred tax assets in our U.S. group of subsidiaries (DTA Recognition) as a result of our acquisition of NCS Global Services LLC (NCS) and (c) a $0.03 per share favorable tax impact attributable to the reversal of withholding taxes that were accrued in the first quarter of 2024 in connection with the then-anticipated repatriation of undistributed earnings from certain of our Asian subsidiaries. See notes 8, 9 and 10 to the Q2 2024 Interim Financial Statements.
IFRS EPS of $1.69 for the 1H 2024 included: (i) a $0.40 per share positive TRS Gain, (ii) the $0.06 per share favorable DTA Recognition, (iii) a $0.05 per share favorable tax impact attributable to the reversals of tax uncertainties (Reversals) relating to one of our Asian subsidiaries, and (iv) a $0.01 per share positive impact attributable to legal recoveries, partially offset by: (a) the $0.14 per share negative Pillar Two Impact; (b) a $0.09 per share negative impact attributable to restructuring charges, (c) a $0.03 per share negative impact attributable to Transition Costs, and (d) a $0.02 per share negative impact attributable to acquisition costs. See notes 8, 9 and 10 to the Q2 2024 Interim Financial Statements.
IFRS EPS of $0.46 for Q2 2023 included: (x) a $0.03 per share negative impact attributable to net other charges, consisting of a $0.04 per share negative impact attributable to restructuring charges and a $0.01 per share negative impact, substantially all of which was attributable to Secondary Offering Costs (defined in Schedule 1), offset in part by a $0.02 per share positive impact attributable to legal recoveries; and (y) a $0.02 per share negative impact arising from taxable temporary differences associated with the anticipated repatriation of undistributed earnings from certain of our Asian subsidiaries (Repatriation Expense). See notes 9 and 10 to the Q2 2024 Interim Financial Statements.
IFRS EPS of $0.66 for the first half of 2023 (1H 2023) included: (x) a $0.07 per share negative impact attributable to net other charges, consisting primarily of a $0.08 per share negative impact attributable to restructuring charges and a $0.01 per share negative impact, substantially of which was attributable to Secondary Offering Costs (defined in Schedule 1), offset in part by a $0.02 per share positive impact attributable to legal recoveries; and (y) a $0.05 per share favorable tax impact attributable to Reversals in one of our Asian subsidiaries, offset in part by a $0.03 per share negative Repatriation Expense. See notes 9 and 10 to the Q2 2024 Interim Financial Statements.
(2) For Q2 2024, our revenue exceeded the high end of our guidance range due to higher than anticipated customer demand in our CCS segment. Our non-IFRS operating margin for Q2 2024 exceeded the mid-point of our revenue and non-IFRS adjusted EPS guidance ranges and our Q2 2024 non-IFRS adjusted EPS exceeded the high end of our guidance range, primarily driven by unanticipated operating leverage in our CCS segment. Our non-IFRS adjusted SG&A for Q2 2024
iii | more... | |||||||
exceeded the high end of our guidance range primarily due to higher than expected variable spend and an increased allowance for doubtful accounts. Our IFRS effective tax rate for Q2 2024 was 17%. As anticipated, our non-IFRS adjusted effective tax rate for Q2 2024 was 20%, as Pillar Two legislation was enacted in Canada in Q2 2024.
Change in Foreign Private Issuer Status
As of the end of Q2 2024, we no longer met the definition of a "foreign private issuer" under U.S. federal securities regulations. Accordingly, beginning January 1, 2025, we will become subject to the same reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to domestic U.S. issuers, including preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Q2 2024 Webcast
Management will host its Q2 2024 results conference call on July 25, 2024 at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). The webcast can be accessed at www.celestica.com.
Non-IFRS Supplementary Information
In addition to disclosing detailed operating results in accordance with IFRS, Celestica provides supplementary non-IFRS financial measures to consider in evaluating the company’s operating performance. Management uses adjusted net earnings and other non-IFRS financial measures to assess operating performance and the effective use and allocation of resources; to provide more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of operating results; to enhance investors’ understanding of the core operating results of Celestica’s business; and to set management incentive targets. We believe investors use both IFRS and non-IFRS financial measures to assess management's past, current and future decisions associated with our priorities and our allocation of capital, as well as to analyze how our business operates in, or responds to, swings in economic cycles or to other events that impact our core operations. See Schedule 1 below.

Schedule 1
Supplementary Non-IFRS Financial Measures
The non-IFRS financial measures (including ratios based on non-IFRS financial measures) included in this press release are: adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin (adjusted gross profit as a percentage of revenue), adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A), adjusted SG&A as a percentage of revenue, non-IFRS operating earnings (or adjusted EBIAT), non-IFRS operating margin (non-IFRS operating earnings or adjusted EBIAT as a percentage of revenue), adjusted net earnings, adjusted EPS, adjusted return on invested capital (adjusted ROIC), adjusted free cash flow, adjusted tax expense and adjusted effective tax rate. Adjusted EBIAT, adjusted ROIC, adjusted free cash flow, adjusted tax expense and adjusted effective tax rate are further described in the tables below. As used herein, "Q1," "Q2," "Q3," and "Q4" followed by a year refers to the first quarter, second quarter, third quarter and fourth quarter of such year, respectively.
We believe the non-IFRS financial measures we present herein are useful to investors, as they enable investors to evaluate and compare our results from operations in a more consistent manner (by excluding specific items that we do not consider to be reflective of our core operations), to evaluate cash resources that we generate from our business each period, and to provide an analysis of operating results using the same measures our chief operating decision makers use to measure performance. In addition, management believes that the use of a non-IFRS adjusted tax expense and a non-IFRS adjusted effective tax rate provide improved insight into the tax effects of our core operations, and are useful to management and investors for historical comparisons and forecasting. These non-IFRS financial measures result largely from management’s determination that the facts and circumstances surrounding the excluded charges or recoveries are not indicative of our core operations.
Non-IFRS financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies that report under IFRS, or who report under U.S. GAAP and use non-GAAP financial measures to describe similar financial metrics. Non-IFRS financial measures are not measures of performance under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any IFRS financial measure.
The most significant limitation to management’s use of non-IFRS financial measures is that the charges or credits excluded from the non-IFRS financial measures are nonetheless recognized under IFRS and have an economic impact on us. Management compensates for these limitations primarily by issuing IFRS results to show a complete picture of our performance, and reconciling non-IFRS financial measures back to the most directly comparable financial measures determined under IFRS.
In calculating the following non-IFRS financial measures: adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted SG&A, adjusted SG&A as a percentage of revenue, non-IFRS operating earnings, non-IFRS operating margin, adjusted net earnings, adjusted EPS, adjusted tax expense and adjusted effective tax rate, management excludes the following items (where indicated): employee SBC expense, total return swap (TRS) fair value adjustments (FVAs), amortization of intangible assets (excluding computer software), and Other Charges (Recoveries) (defined below), all net of the associated tax adjustments (quantified in the table below), and any non-core tax impacts (tax adjustments related to acquisitions, and certain other tax costs or recoveries related to restructuring actions or restructured sites). The economic substance of these exclusions (where applicable to the periods presented) and management’s rationale for excluding them from non-IFRS financial measures is provided below. In addition, in calculating adjusted net earnings, adjusted EPS, adjusted tax expense and adjusted effective tax rate: (i) for Q2 2024 and 1H 2024, management also excluded the one-time prior period portion of the Pillar Two Impact (Prior Period Pillar Two Tax Adjustments), as such prior period portion is not attributable to our operations for Q2 2024 or for subsequent periods; and (ii) commencing in Q2 2024, management excludes Refinancing Charges (Gains) (defined below). The determination of our non-IFRS adjusted effective tax rate, adjusted free cash flow, and adjusted ROIC is described in footnote 2, 3 and 4 to the table below, respectively.
Employee SBC expense, which represents the estimated fair value of stock options, restricted share units and performance share units granted to employees, is excluded because grant activities vary significantly from quarter-to-quarter in both quantity and fair value. In addition, excluding this expense allows us to better compare core operating results with those of our competitors who also generally exclude employee SBC expense in assessing operating performance, who may have different granting patterns and types of equity awards, and who may use different valuation assumptions than we do.
vi | more... | |||||||
TRS FVAs represent mark-to-market adjustments to our TRS, as the TRS is recorded at fair value at each quarter end. We exclude the impact of these non-cash fair value adjustments (both positive and negative), as they reflect fluctuations in the market price of our Common Shares from period to period, and not our ongoing operating performance. In addition, we believe that excluding these non-cash adjustments permits a better comparison of our core operating results to those of our competitors.
Amortization charges (excluding computer software) consist of non-cash charges against intangible assets that are impacted by the timing and magnitude of acquired businesses. Amortization of intangible assets varies among our competitors, and we believe that excluding these charges permits a better comparison of core operating results with those of our competitors who also generally exclude amortization charges in assessing operating performance.
Other Charges (Recoveries) consist of, when applicable: Restructuring Charges, net of recoveries (defined below); Transition Costs (Recoveries) (defined below); net Impairment charges (defined below); consulting, transaction and integration costs related to potential and completed acquisitions, and charges or releases related to the subsequent re-measurement of indemnification assets or the release of indemnification or other liabilities recorded in connection with acquisitions; legal settlements (recoveries); post-employment benefit plan losses; in Q2 2023 and Q3 2023, Secondary Offering Costs (defined below) and, commencing in Q2 2023, related costs pertaining to certain accounting considerations. We exclude these charges and recoveries because we believe that they are not directly related to ongoing operating results and do not reflect expected future operating expenses after completion of these activities or incurrence of the relevant costs or recoveries. Our competitors may record similar charges and recoveries at different times, and we believe these exclusions permit a better comparison of our core operating results with those of our competitors who also generally exclude these types of charges and recoveries in assessing operating performance.
Restructuring Charges, net of recoveries, consist of costs relating to: employee severance, lease terminations, site closings and consolidations, accelerated depreciation of owned property and equipment which are no longer used and are available for sale and reductions in infrastructure.
Transition Costs consist of costs recorded in connection with: (i) the transfer of manufacturing lines from closed sites to other sites within our global network; (ii) the sale of real properties unrelated to restructuring actions (Property Dispositions); and (iii) specified charges related to the Purchaser Lease (defined below). Transition Costs consist of direct relocation and duplicate costs (such as rent expense, utility costs, depreciation charges, and personnel costs) incurred during the transition periods, as well as cease-use and other costs incurred in connection with idle or vacated portions of the relevant premises that we would not have incurred but for these relocations, transfers and dispositions. As part of our 2019 Toronto real property sale, we entered into a related 10-year lease for our then-anticipated headquarters (Purchaser Lease). Consistent with our prior treatment of duplicate and idle premises costs incurred as a result of such property sale, the excess of rental expenses attributable to space subleased in Q3 2023 under the Purchaser Lease over anticipated sublease rental recoveries were recorded as Transition Costs ($3.9 million charge) in Q3 2023, as we previously extended (on a long-term basis) the lease on our current corporate headquarters due to several Purchaser Lease commencement date delays. Similarly, as the Purchaser Lease commenced in June 2024, we recorded a $3.0 million charge in Q2 2024 as Transition Costs, representing the write-down of right-of-use (ROU) assets under the Purchaser Lease with respect to non-subleased space. Transition Recoveries consist of any gains recorded in connection with Property Dispositions. We believe that excluding these costs and recoveries permits a better comparison of our core operating results from period-to-period, as these costs or recoveries do not reflect our ongoing operations once these specified events are complete.
Impairment charges, which consist of non-cash charges against goodwill, intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, and ROU assets, result primarily when the carrying value of these assets exceeds their recoverable amount.
Secondary Offering Costs consisted of costs associated with the conversion and underwritten public sale of our shares by Onex Corporation (Onex), our then-controlling shareholder, in Q2 2023 and Q3 2023. We believe that excluding Secondary Offering Costs permits a better comparison of our core operating results from period-to-period, as they did not reflect our ongoing operations, and are no longer applicable as such conversions and sales are complete.
vii | more... | |||||||
Refinancing Charges (Gains) consist of costs (gains) recorded as finance costs (income) in our statement of operations in connection with refinancings of our credit facility. In Q2 2024, we amended and restated our credit facility agreement. In connection therewith, our two then-existing term loans were repaid in full, terminated and replaced with two new term loans. Refinancing Charges for Q2 2024 and 1H 2024 consist of the $5.2 million in fees and costs incurred in connection with such amendment and restatement, and the $0.8 million in accelerated amortization of unamortized deferred financing costs recorded as a result of the related termination of one of the prior term loans. Notwithstanding the termination of the second prior term loan and its replacement with a new term loan, for accounting purposes, this portion of the transaction was treated as a modification of the second terminated term loan, resulting in a $5.5 million modification gain. Refinancing Gains for Q2 2024 and 1H 2024 consist of this modification gain. Refinancing Charges (Gains) are excluded in our determination of adjusted net earnings, adjusted EPS, adjusted tax expense and adjusted effective tax rate, as management believes that such exclusions (both positive and negative) permit a better comparison of our core operating results from period-to-period, as these costs and gains are not directly related to ongoing operating results and do not reflect expected future operating expenses after completion of the applicable refinancing transaction.
Non-core tax impacts are excluded, as we believe that these costs or recoveries do not reflect core operating performance and vary significantly among those of our competitors who also generally exclude these costs or recoveries in assessing operating performance.
The following table (which is unaudited) sets forth, for the periods indicated, the various non-IFRS financial measures discussed above, and a reconciliation of such non-IFRS financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures determined under IFRS (in millions, except percentages and per share amounts):

(1) Management uses non-IFRS operating earnings (adjusted EBIAT) as a measure to assess performance related to our core operations. Non-IFRS operating earnings is defined as earnings from operations before employee SBC expense, TRS FVAs (defined above), amortization of intangible assets (excluding computer software), and Other Charges

(Recoveries) (defined above). See note 9 to our Q2 2024 Interim Financial Statements for separate quantification and discussion of the components of Other Charges (Recoveries). Non-IFRS operating margin is non-IFRS operating earnings as a percentage of revenue.
(2) The adjustments for taxes, as applicable, represent the tax effects of our non-IFRS adjustments (see below).
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of our non-IFRS adjusted tax expense and our non-IFRS adjusted effective tax rate to our IFRS tax expense and IFRS effective tax rate, respectively, for the periods indicated, in each case determined by excluding the tax benefits or costs associated with the listed items (in millions, except percentages) from our IFRS tax expense for such periods. Our IFRS effective tax rate is determined by dividing (i) IFRS tax expense by (ii) earnings from operations minus finance costs, net of finance income recorded on our statement of operations (Finance Costs and Finance Income, respectively); our non-IFRS adjusted effective tax rate is determined by dividing (i) non-IFRS adjusted tax expense by (ii) non-IFRS operating earnings minus Finance Costs, net of Finance Income.

(3) Management uses non-IFRS adjusted free cash flow as a measure, in addition to IFRS cash provided by (used in) operations, to assess our operational cash flow performance. We believe non-IFRS adjusted free cash flow provides another level of transparency to our liquidity. Non-IFRS adjusted free cash flow is defined as cash provided by (used in) operations after the purchase of property, plant and equipment (net of proceeds from the sale of certain surplus equipment and property, when applicable), lease payments, and Finance Costs Paid. Finance Costs Paid is defined as interest expense and fees paid related to our credit facility (excluding, when applicable, any debt issuance costs and credit facility waiver fees paid), our interest rate swap agreements, our TRS Agreement, our accounts receivable sales program and customers' supplier financing programs, and interest expense on our lease obligations. We do not consider debt issuance costs paid ($9.0 million in Q2 2024 and 1H 2024; nil in Q2 2023 and 1H 2023) or credit facility waiver fees paid (when applicable) to be part of our ongoing financing expenses. As a result, these costs are excluded from our definition of Finance Costs Paid for our determination of non-IFRS adjusted free cash flow. We believe that excluding Finance Costs Paid from cash provided by operations in the determination of non-IFRS adjusted free cash flow provides useful insight for assessing the performance of our core operations. Note, however, that non-IFRS adjusted free cash flow does not represent residual cash flow available to Celestica for discretionary expenditures.
(4) Management uses non-IFRS adjusted ROIC as a measure to assess the effectiveness of the invested capital we use to build products or provide services to our customers, by quantifying how well we generate earnings relative to the capital we have invested in our business. Non-IFRS adjusted ROIC is calculated by dividing annualized non-IFRS adjusted
x | more... | |||||||
EBIAT by average net invested capital for the period. Net invested capital (calculated in the tables below) is derived from IFRS financial measures, and is defined as total assets less: cash, ROU assets, accounts payable, accrued and other current liabilities, provisions, and income taxes payable. We use a two-point average to calculate average net invested capital for the quarter and a three-point average to calculate average net invested capital for the six-month period. Average net invested capital for Q2 2024 is the average of net invested capital as at March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, and average net invested capital for 1H 2024 is the average of net invested capital as at December 31, 2023, March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024. A comparable financial measure to non-IFRS adjusted ROIC determined using IFRS measures would be calculated by dividing annualized IFRS earnings from operations by average net invested capital for the period.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, our calculation of IFRS ROIC % and non-IFRS adjusted ROIC % (in millions, except IFRS ROIC % and non-IFRS adjusted ROIC %).

1. REPORTING ENTITY
Celestica Inc. (referred to herein as Celestica, the Company, we, us, or our) is incorporated in Ontario with its corporate headquarters located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Celestica’s subordinate voting shares were re-designated as common shares (Common Shares) effective April 25, 2024 (see note 8), and are listed as such on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). We refer to our common equity as Common Shares for all periods presented herein.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Statement of compliance:
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2024 (Q2 2024 Interim Financial Statements) have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and the accounting policies we have adopted in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), in each case as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly our financial position at June 30, 2024 and our financial performance, comprehensive income and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 (referred to herein as Q2 2024 and 1H 2024, respectively). The Q2 2024 Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our 2023 audited consolidated financial statements (2023 AFS), which are included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Q2 2024 Interim Financial Statements are presented in United States (U.S.) dollars, which is also our functional currency. Unless otherwise noted, all financial information is presented in millions of U.S. dollars (except percentages and per share/per unit amounts).
The Q2 2024 Interim Financial Statements were authorized for issuance by our Board of Directors on July 24, 2024.
Use of estimates and judgments:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies, the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures with respect to contingent assets and liabilities. We base our judgments, estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The economic environment also impacts certain estimates and discount rates necessary to prepare our consolidated financial statements, including significant estimates and discount rates applicable to the determination of the recoverable amounts used in the impairment testing of our non-financial assets. Our assessment of these factors forms the basis for our judgments on the carrying values of our assets and liabilities, and the accrual of our costs and expenses. Actual results could differ materially from our estimates and assumptions. We review our estimates and underlying assumptions on an ongoing basis and make revisions as determined necessary by management. Revisions are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and may also impact future periods.
Our review of the estimates, judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of the Q2 2024 Interim Financial Statements included those relating to, among others: our determination of the timing of revenue recognition, the determination of whether indicators of impairment existed for our assets and cash generating units (CGUs1), our measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities, our estimated inventory write-downs and expected credit losses, customer creditworthiness, and the determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the fair value of the contingent consideration in connection with a business combination. Any revisions to estimates, judgments or assumptions may result in, among other things, write-downs, accelerated depreciation or amortization, or impairments to our assets or CGUs, and/or adjustments to the carrying amount of our accounts receivable and/or inventories, or to the valuation of our deferred tax assets, any of which could have a material impact on our financial performance and financial condition.
1 CGUs are the smallest identifiable group of assets that cannot be tested individually and generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those of other assets or groups of assets, and can be comprised of a single site, a group of sites, or a line of business.

Accounting policies:
Except for Amendments to IAS 1, adopted as of January 1, 2024 as described below, the Q2 2024 Interim Financial Statements are based on accounting policies consistent with those described in note 2 to our 2023 AFS.
Recently adopted accounting standards and amendments:
Classification of liabilities as current or non-current (Amendments to IAS 1)
In January 2020, the IASB issued Classification of liabilities as current or non-current (Amendments to IAS 1) to clarify how to classify debt and other liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. This standard, which we adopted as of January 1, 2024, did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Recently issued but not yet effective standards:
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements. IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and sets out requirements for the presentation and disclosure of information in general purpose financial statements. The standard applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027 and is to be applied retrospectively, with early adoption permitted. We have not yet adopted such standard and are currently assessing the impact on our consolidated financial statements.
3. SEGMENT AND CUSTOMER REPORTING
Segments:
Celestica delivers innovative supply chain solutions globally to customers in two operating and reportable segments: Advanced Technology Solutions (ATS) and Connectivity & Cloud Solutions (CCS). Our ATS segment consists of our ATS end market, and is comprised of our Aerospace and Defense (A&D), Industrial, HealthTech and Capital Equipment businesses. Our CCS segment consists of our Communications and Enterprise (servers and storage) end markets. Segment performance is evaluated based on segment revenue, segment income and segment margin (segment income as a percentage of segment revenue). See note 25 to our 2023 AFS for a description of the businesses that comprise our segments, how segment revenue is attributed, how costs are allocated to our segments, and how segment income and segment margin are determined.
Information regarding the performance of our reportable segments is set forth below:

4. ACQUISITION
On April 26, 2024, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the interests of NCS Global Services LLC (NCS), a U.S.-based IT infrastructure and asset management business, for a purchase price of $39.6, including a preliminary net working capital adjustment (WCA). The purchase price was funded with the revolving portion of our credit facility (see note 7). The NCS acquisition agreement also includes a potential earn-out of up to $20 if certain adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization targets are achieved during the period from May 2024 to April 2025. We estimated the fair value of such potential earn-out to be $6.6 at the date of acquisition. We recorded purchase consideration of $46.2 for the fair value of the acquired assets (including $3.5 of cash) and liabilities at the date of acquisition on our consolidated balance sheet. Our preliminary purchase price allocation for the NCS acquisition is as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 3.5 | ||||||||||||
| Accounts receivable and other current assets | 3.0 | |||||||||||||
Right-of-use (ROU) assets | 5.2 | |||||||||||||
| Property, plant and equipment | 0.4 | |||||||||||||

| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | (2.5) | |||||||||||||
| Lease liabilities | (5.2) | |||||||||||||
Deferred income tax liabilities | (7.5) | |||||||||||||
| $ | 46.2 | |||||||||||||
We engaged third-party consultants to estimate the fair value of acquired intangible assets and the potential earn-out. We expect to finalize our purchase price allocation in 2024, once the WCA has been finalized, and the work of our third-party consultants has been completed.

(unaudited)
The preliminary valuation of the intangible assets and the potential earn-out was primarily based on the income approach using a discounted cash flow model and forecasts based on management's subjective estimates and assumptions. Various Level 2 and 3 data inputs of the fair value measurement hierarchy (described in note 20 to the 2023 AFS) were used in the valuation of the foregoing assets.
Newly-recognized customer and brand intangible assets from the acquisition will be amortized on a straight line basis over an estimated useful life of 10 years. As a result, our amortization of customer intangible assets will increase by approximately $3 annually. Goodwill from the acquisition arose primarily from expected synergies from the combination of our operations. Such goodwill is attributable to our CCS segment and is not tax deductible.
Had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2024, NCS would have contributed less than 10% of our consolidated revenue and net earnings for 2024.
We recorded Acquisition Costs (defined in note 9) of $1.1 and $1.6 during Q2 2024 and 1H 2024, respectively, related to our acquisition of NCS. See note 9 for all Acquisition Costs incurred in Q2 2024, 1H 2024, and the respective prior year periods.
5. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable (A/R) sales program and supplier financing programs (SFPs):
We are party to an A/R sales program agreement with a third-party bank to sell up to $450.0 in A/R on an uncommitted, revolving basis, subject to pre-determined limits by customer. This agreement provides for automatic annual one-year extensions, and may be terminated at any time by the bank or by us upon 3 months’ prior notice, or by the bank upon specified defaults. Under our A/R sales program, we continue to collect cash from our customers and remit amounts collected to the bank weekly.
At June 30, 2024, we participate in three customer SFPs, pursuant to which we sell A/R from the relevant customer to third-party banks on an uncommitted basis. The SFPs have an indefinite term and may be terminated at any time by the customer or by us upon specified prior notice. Under our SFPs, the third-party banks collect the relevant A/R directly from these customers.
At June 30, 2024, we sold nil of A/R (December 31, 2023 — nil) under our A/R sales program. Under the SFPs, $13.3 of the A/R we sold in the first quarter of 2024 remained outstanding at June 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023 — $18.6 of A/R were sold). The A/R sold under each of these programs are de-recognized from our A/R balance at the time of sale, and the proceeds are reflected as cash provided by operating activities in our consolidated statement of cash flows. Upon sale, we assign the rights to the A/R to the banks. A/R are sold net of discount charges, which are recorded as finance costs in our consolidated statement of operations.
Contract assets:
At June 30, 2024, our A/R balance included $237.6 (December 31, 2023 — $250.8) of contract assets recognized as revenue in accordance with our revenue recognition accounting policy.
6. INVENTORIES
We record inventory write-downs, net of valuation recoveries, in cost of sales. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Inventory write-downs reflect the write-down of inventory to its net realizable value. Valuation recoveries reflect gains on the disposition of previously written-down inventory and favorable adjustments reflecting current and forecasted usage. We recorded net inventory write-downs of nil and $10.3 for Q2 2024 and 1H 2024, respectively (Q2 2023 — $9.5; 1H 2023 — $23.3).
We receive cash deposits from certain of our customers primarily to help reduce risks related to excess and/or obsolete inventory. Such deposits as of June 30, 2024 totaled $576.4 (December 31, 2023 — $904.8), and were recorded in accrued and other current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet.

7. CREDIT FACILITIES AND LEASE OBLIGATIONS
We are party to a credit agreement (Credit Facility) with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the other lenders party thereto, which as of a June 2024 amendment and restatement (June 2024 Amendment), includes a new term loan in the original principal amount of $250.0 (Term A Loan), a new term loan in the original principal amount of $500.0 (Term B Loan, and collectively with the Term A Loan, the New Term Loans), and a $750.0 revolving credit facility (Revolver). Prior to the June 2024 Amendment, the Credit Facility included a term loan in the original principal amount of $350.0 (Initial Term Loan) and a term loan in the original principal amount of $365.0 (Incremental Term Loan), the outstanding borrowings under each of which were fully repaid with a substantial portion of the proceeds of the New Term Loans, and commitments of $600.0 under the Revolver. The terms of the Credit Facility prior to the June 2024 Amendment are described in detail in note 11 to the 2023 AFS. Notwithstanding the repayment of the Incremental Term Loan in full and its replacement with the Term A Loan, for accounting purposes, this portion of the transaction was treated as a non-substantial modification of the Incremental Term Loan, resulting in a $5.5 gain (Modification Gain) recorded as finance income in our consolidated statement of operations. The repayment of the Initial Term Loan in full was treated, for accounting purposes, as an extinguishment of such loan.
The Term A Loan and the Revolver each mature in June 2029. The Term B Loan matures in June 2031. The Term A Loan and the Term B Loan require quarterly principal repayments of $3.125 and $1.250, respectively (each commencing in September 2024), and each of the New Term Loans requires a lump sum repayment of the remainder outstanding at maturity. Under the June 2024 Amendment, we are also required to make annual prepayments of outstanding obligations under the Credit Facility (applied first to the New Term Loans, then to the Revolver, in the manner set forth in the Credit Facility) ranging from 0% — 50% (based on a defined leverage ratio) of specified excess cash flow for the prior fiscal year. No prepayments based on excess cash flow were required in 2023, or will be required in 2024. In addition, prepayments of outstanding obligations under the Credit Facility (applied as described above) may also be required in the amount of specified net cash proceeds received above a specified annual threshold (including proceeds from the disposal of certain assets). No prepayments based on net cash proceeds were required in 2023, or will be required in 2024. Any outstanding amounts under the Revolver are due at maturity. Except under specified circumstances, and subject to the payment of breakage costs (if any), we are generally permitted to make voluntary prepayments of outstanding amounts under the Revolver and the New Term Loans without any other premium or penalty. Repaid amounts on the New Term Loans may not be re-borrowed.
The Credit Facility has an accordion feature that allows us to increase the New Term Loans and/or commitments under the Revolver by $200.0, plus an unlimited amount to the extent that a defined leverage ratio on a pro forma basis does not exceed specified limits, in each case on an uncommitted basis and subject to the satisfaction of certain terms and conditions. The Revolver also includes a $50.0 sub-limit for swing line loans, providing for short-term borrowings up to a maximum of ten business days, as well as a $150.0 sub-limit for letters of credit (L/Cs), in each case subject to the overall Revolver credit limit. The Revolver permits us and certain designated subsidiaries to borrow funds (subject to specified conditions) for general corporate purposes, including for capital expenditures, certain acquisitions, and working capital needs.
Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest, depending on the currency of the borrowing and our election for such currency, at: (i) term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (Term SOFR) plus 0.10% (Adjusted Term SOFR), (ii) Base Rate, (iii) Canadian Prime, (iv) an Alternative Currency Daily Rate, or (v) an Alternative Currency Term Rate (each as defined in the Credit Facility) plus a specified margin. The margin for borrowings under the Revolver ranges from 1.50% to 2.25% for Adjusted Term SOFR, Alternative Currency Daily Rate or Alternative Currency Term Rate borrowings, and from 0.50% to 1.25% for Base Rate and Canadian Prime borrowings, in each case depending on the rate we select and a defined net leverage ratio (NLR). Commitment fees range from 0.30% to 0.45%, depending on our NLR. Outstanding amounts under the Term A Loan bear interest at Adjusted Term SOFR or Base Rate, plus a margin ranging from 1.50% — 2.25% for Adjusted Term SOFR borrowings and from 0.50% — 1.25% for Base Rate borrowings, in each case depending on the rate we select and our NLR. Outstanding amounts under the Term B Loan bear interest at Term SOFR plus 1.75% or the Base Rate plus 0.75%, depending on the rate we select. At June 30, 2024, outstanding amounts under the Term A Loan bore interest at Adjusted Term SOFR plus 1.75%; outstanding amounts under the Term B Loan bore interest at Term SOFR plus 1.75%; and no amounts were outstanding under the Revolver. We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge against our exposures to the interest rate variability on a portion of The New Term Loans. See note 11 for further detail.
We are required to comply with certain restrictive covenants under the Credit Facility, including those relating to the incurrence of certain indebtedness, the existence of certain liens, the sale of certain assets, specified investments and payments, sale and leaseback transactions, and certain financial covenants relating to a defined interest coverage ratio and leverage ratio that are

tested on a quarterly basis. Our Credit Facility also limits share repurchases for cancellation if our consolidated secured leverage ratio (as defined in such facility) exceeds a specified amount (Repurchase Restriction). The Repurchase Restriction did not prohibit share repurchases during Q2 2024 or at June 30, 2024. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all restrictive and financial covenants under the Credit Facility.
The obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by us and certain specified subsidiaries. Subject to specified exemptions and limitations, all assets of the guarantors are pledged as security for the obligations under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility contains customary events of default. If an event of default occurs and is continuing (and is not waived), the Administrative Agent may declare all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable, and may cancel the lenders’ commitments to make further advances thereunder. In the event of a payment or other specified defaults, outstanding obligations accrue interest at a specified default rate.

Debt issuance costs incurred in Q2 2024 and 1H 2024 in connection with our Revolver totaling $3.9 (Q2 2023 and 1H 2023 — $0.2) were deferred as other assets on our consolidated balance sheet and are amortized on a straight line basis over the remaining term of the Revolver. Debt issuance costs incurred in Q2 2024 and 1H 2024 in connection with our New Term Loans totaling $2.2 (Q2 2023 and 1H 2023 — $0.2, in connection with prior term loans) and a modification adjustment of $5.5 in Q2 2024 and 1H 2024 in connection with the termination of the Incremental Term Loan and its replacement with the Term A Loan, were deferred as long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheet and are amortized over their respective terms using the effective interest rate method. In Q2 2024 and 1H 2024, the Modification Gain and the accelerated amortization of $0.8 of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the termination of the Initial Term Loan, were recorded in finance income and finance costs, respectively.
(2)These lease obligations represent the present value of unpaid lease payment obligations recognized as liabilities as of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024, respectively, which have been discounted using our incremental borrowing rate on the lease commencement dates. In addition to the lease obligations as of June 30, 2024, we have commitments under a real property lease in Richardson, Texas not recognized as liabilities as of June 30, 2024 because such lease had not yet commenced as of such date. A description of such lease and minimum lease obligations thereunder are disclosed in note 24 to the 2023 AFS.

8. CAPITAL STOCK
Removing provisions of multiple voting shares (MVS) and re-designating our subordinate voting shares
At our April 25, 2024 Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders, our shareholders approved Articles of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to remove the provisions relating to our MVS (as such shares were no longer outstanding) and to re-designate our subordinate voting shares as Common Shares, effective as of such date. See note 1.
Secondary Offering by Onex Corporation (Onex):
In connection with an underwritten secondary public offering by Onex, our then-controlling shareholder, completed in June 2023 (Secondary Offering), we issued approximately 11.8 million Common Shares upon conversion of an equivalent number of our then-existing MVS. This transaction had nil impact on our aggregate capital stock amount.
Common Share repurchase plans:
In recent years, we have repurchased Common Shares in the open market, or as otherwise permitted, for cancellation through normal course issuer bids (NCIBs), which allow us to repurchase a limited number of Common Shares during a specified period. The maximum number of Common Shares we are permitted to repurchase for cancellation under each NCIB is reduced by the number of Common Shares we arrange to be purchased by any non-independent broker in the open market during the term of such NCIB to satisfy delivery obligations under our SBC plans. We from time-to-time enter into automatic share purchase plans (ASPPs) with a broker, instructing the broker to purchase our Common Shares in the open market on our behalf, either for cancellation under an NCIB (NCIB ASPPs) or for delivery obligations under our SBC plans (SBC ASPPs), including during any applicable trading blackout periods, up to specified maximums (and subject to certain pricing and other conditions) through the term of each ASPP.
On December 8, 2022, the TSX accepted our notice to launch an NCIB (2022 NCIB), which allowed us to repurchase, at our discretion, from December 13, 2022 until the earlier of December 12, 2023 or the completion of purchases thereunder, up to approximately 8.8 million of our Common Shares in the open market, or as otherwise permitted, subject to the normal terms and limitations of such bids. Several NCIB ASPPs and SBC ASPPs (all of which have since expired) were in effect during 1H 2023. At June 30, 2023, we recorded an accrual of $21.4 (June 2023 SBC Accrual), representing the contractual maximum number of permitted Common Share repurchases (Contractual Maximum Quantity) under an SBC ASPP (1.5 million Common Shares) executed in June 2023.
On December 12, 2023, the TSX accepted our notice to launch a new NCIB (2023 NCIB), which allows us to repurchase, at our discretion, from December 14, 2023 until the earlier of December 13, 2024 or the completion of purchases thereunder, up to approximately 11.8 million of our Common Shares in the open market, or as otherwise permitted, subject to the normal terms and limitations of such bids. At June 30, 2024, approximately 11.1 million Common Shares remained available for repurchase under the 2023 NCIB either for cancellation or SBC delivery purposes. At December 31, 2023, we recorded an accrual of: (i) $2.7, representing the estimated Contractual Maximum Quantity (0.1 million Common Shares) under an NCIB ASPP we entered into in December 2023; and (ii) $7.5, representing the estimated Contractual Maximum Quantity (0.3 million Common Shares) under an SBC ASPP we entered into in September 2023, each of which were reversed in 1H 2024. One NCIB ASPP and two SBC ASPPs were in effect during 1H 2024, all of which have since expired, and no ASPP accruals were recorded at June 30, 2024.
Common Shares repurchased in Q2 2024, 1H 2024, and the respective prior year periods, for cancellation and for SBC plan delivery obligations (including under ASPPs) are set forth in the chart below.

SBC:
From time to time, we pay cash to a broker to purchase Common Shares in the open market to satisfy delivery requirements under our SBC plans. At June 30, 2024, the broker held 2.8 million Common Shares with a value of $92.5 (December 31, 2023 — 3.3 million Common Shares with a value of $72.6) for this purpose, which we report as treasury stock on our consolidated balance sheet. We used 3.3 million Common Shares held by the broker (including additional Common Shares purchased during 1H 2024) to settle SBC awards during 1H 2024.
We grant restricted share units (RSUs) and performance share units (PSUs), and occasionally, stock options, to employees under our SBC plans. The majority of RSUs vest one-third per year over a three-year period. Stock options generally vest 25% per year over a four-year period. The number of outstanding PSUs that will actually vest varies from 0% to 200% of a target amount granted. For PSUs granted in 2021 and 2022, the number of PSUs that vested (or will vest) are based on the level of achievement of a pre-determined non-market performance measurement in the final year of the relevant three-year performance period, subject to modification by each of a separate pre-determined non-market financial target, and our relative total shareholder return (TSR), a market performance condition, compared to a pre-defined group of companies, in each case over the relevant three-year performance period. Commencing in 2023, the number of PSUs that will vest are based on the level of achievement of a different predetermined non-market performance measurement, subject to modification by our relative TSR compared to a pre-defined group of companies, in each case over the relevant three-year performance period. We also grant deferred share units (DSUs) and RSUs (under specified circumstances) to directors as compensation under our Directors' Share Compensation Plan. See note 2(l) to the 2023 AFS for further detail.

(a) Restructuring:
Our restructuring activities for Q2 2024 and 1H 2024 consisted primarily of actions to adjust our cost base to address reduced levels of demand in certain of our businesses and geographies.
We recorded cash restructuring charges of $5.6 and $10.0 in Q2 2024 and 1H 2024, respectively (Q2 2023 — $2.3; 1H 2023 — $6.6), primarily for employee termination costs. We recorded nil non-cash restructuring charges in Q2 2024 and $0.7 in non-cash restructuring charges in 1H 2024, consisting primarily of accelerated depreciation of equipment related to disengaging programs (Q2 2023 and 1H 2023 — $2.9, consisting primarily of the accelerated depreciation of equipment, building improvements and ROU assets related to disengaging programs and vacated properties). At June 30, 2024, our restructuring provision was $3.7 (December 31, 2023 — $3.6), which we recorded in the current portion of provisions on our consolidated balance sheet.
(b) Transition Costs:
Transition Costs consist of costs recorded in connection with: (i) the transfer of manufacturing lines from closed sites to other sites within our global network; (ii) the sale of real properties unrelated to restructuring actions; and (iii) specified charges
15 | more... | |||||||
CELESTICA INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions of U.S. dollars, except percentages and per share amounts)
(unaudited)
related to the Purchaser Lease (defined below). Transition Costs consist of direct relocation and duplicate costs (such as rent expense, utility costs, depreciation charges, and personnel costs) incurred during the transition periods, as well as cease-use and other costs incurred in connection with idle or vacated portions of the relevant premises that we would not have incurred but for these relocations, transfers and dispositions.
In March 2019, as part of our Toronto real property sale, we entered into a 10-year lease with the purchaser of such property for our then-anticipated headquarters, to be built by such purchaser on the site of our former location (Purchaser Lease). Due to a number of construction-related commencement date delays, in November 2022, we extended (on a long-term basis) the lease on our current corporate headquarters, and in the third quarter of 2023, we executed a sublease for a portion of the leased space under the Purchaser Lease (Sublease). The Purchaser Lease commenced in June 2024 and related ROU assets and lease liabilities were recognized in our consolidated financial statements. Consistent with our prior treatment as Transition Costs of duplicate and idle premises costs incurred as a result of our 2019 Toronto real property sale, the excess of rental expenses under the Purchaser Lease (with respect to the subleased space) over anticipated rental recoveries under the Sublease were recorded as Transition Costs in the third quarter of 2023. Similarly, we recorded Transition Costs of $3.4 in Q2 2024 and 1H 2024, representing the write-down of ROU assets under the Purchaser Lease with respect to the space not subleased. We incurred no Transition Costs in Q2 2023 and 1H 2023.
(c) Acquisition Costs:
We incur consulting, transaction and integration costs relating to potential and completed acquisitions. We also incur charges or releases related to the subsequent re-measurement of indemnification assets or the release of indemnification or other liabilities recorded in connection with acquisitions, when applicable. Collectively, these costs, charges and releases are referred to as Acquisition Costs (Recoveries).
We recorded Acquisition Costs of $1.1 in Q2 2024 related to the acquisition of NCS (see note 4), and $2.1 in 1H 2024 related to the acquisition of NCS and other potential acquisitions (Q2 2023 — nil; 1H 2023 — $0.3 related to potential acquisitions).
(d) Other recoveries, net of costs
Other recoveries of $1.3 in 1H 2024 consisted of legal recoveries in connection with the settlement of class action lawsuits (for component parts purchased in prior periods) in which we were a plaintiff (Q2 2023 and 1H 2023 — $2.7). In Q2 2023 and 1H 2023, we also recorded an aggregate of $1.0 of costs, substantially all of which consisted of fees and expenses of the Secondary Offering (see note 8).
10. INCOME TAXES
Our income tax expense or recovery for each quarter is determined by multiplying the earnings or losses before tax for such quarter by management’s best estimate of the weighted-average annual income tax rate expected for the full year, taking into account the tax effect of certain items recognized in the interim period. As a result, the effective income tax rates used in our interim financial statements may differ from management’s estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the annual financial statements. Our estimated annual effective income tax rate varies as the quarters progress, for various reasons, including as a result of the mix and volume of business in various tax jurisdictions within the Americas, Europe and Asia, in jurisdictions with tax holidays and tax incentives, and in jurisdictions for which no net deferred income tax assets have been recognized because management believes it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which tax losses and deductible temporary differences could be utilized. Our annual effective income tax rate can also vary due to the impact of restructuring charges, foreign exchange fluctuations, operating losses, cash repatriations, and changes in our provisions related to tax uncertainties.
Our Q2 2024 net income tax expense of $20.5 included $16.2 of year-to-date incremental income taxes due to the enactment of Pillar Two (global minimum tax) legislation in Canada, and incremental withholding tax accrued to minimize its impact (Pillar Two Impact), offset in part by the reversal of $4.0 in withholding taxes that were accrued in the first quarter of 2024 in connection with the then-anticipated repatriation of undistributed earnings from certain of our Asian subsidiaries and the recognition of $7.5 of previously unrecognized deferred tax assets in our U.S. group of subsidiaries (DTA Recognition) as a result of our NCS acquisition. Our 1H 2024 net income tax expense of $34.4 included the $16.2 Pillar Two Impact, offset in

(in millions of U.S. dollars, except percentages and per share amounts)
(unaudited)
part by the $7.5 DTA Recognition and $5.6 of reversals of tax uncertainties (Reversals) relating to one of our Asian subsidiaries. Taxable foreign exchange impacts were not significant in Q2 2024 or 1H 2024. The DTA Recognition offset the net deferred income tax liabilities recorded on our consolidated balance sheet that arose in connection with the NCS acquisition. See note 4.
Our Q2 2023 net income tax expense of $10.2 included a $2.0 tax expense arising from taxable temporary differences associated with the anticipated repatriation of undistributed earnings from certain of our Asian subsidiaries (Repatriation Expense). Our 1H 2023 net income tax expense of $23.2 was favorably impacted by $5.5 in Reversals relating to one of our Asian subsidiaries, partially offset by a $3.3 Repatriation Expense. Taxable foreign exchange impacts were not significant in Q2 2023 or 1H 2023.
11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Our financial assets are comprised primarily of cash and cash equivalents, A/R, and derivatives used for hedging purposes. Our financial liabilities are comprised primarily of accounts payable, certain accrued and other liabilities, the New Term Loans, borrowings under the Revolver, lease obligations, and derivatives used for hedging purposes.
Equity price risk:
We are party to the TRS Agreement with a third-party bank with respect to an original notional amount of 3.0 million of our Common Shares (Original Notional Amount) to manage our cash flow requirements and exposure to fluctuations in the price of our Common Shares in connection with the settlement of certain outstanding equity awards under our SBC plans. The counterparty under the TRS Agreement is obligated to make a payment to us upon its termination (in whole or in part) or expiration (Settlement) based on the increase (if any) in the value of the TRS (as defined in the TRS Agreement) over the agreement’s term, in exchange for periodic payments made by us based on the counterparty’s Common Share purchase costs and SOFR plus a specified margin. Similarly, if the value of the TRS (as defined in the TRS Agreement) decreases over the term of the TRS Agreement, we are obligated to pay the counterparty the amount of such decrease upon Settlement. The change in value of the TRS is determined by comparing the average amount realized by the counterparty upon the disposition of purchased Common Shares to the average amount paid for such shares. By the end of the first quarter of 2023, the counterparty had acquired the entire Original Notional Amount at a weighted average price of $12.73 per share. The TRS Agreement provides for automatic annual one-year extensions (subject to specified conditions), and may be terminated (in whole or in part) by either party at any time. In each of September 2023 and February 2024, we terminated a portion of the TRS Agreement by reducing the Original Notional Amount by 0.5 million Common Shares and 1.25 million Common Shares, respectively, and received $5.0 and $32.3, respectively, from the counterparty in connection therewith, which we recorded in cash provided by financing activities in our consolidated statement of cash flows. The TRS does not qualify for hedge accounting. As of June 30, 2024, the fair value of the TRS Agreement was an unrealized gain of $55.5 (December 31, 2023 — an unrealized gain of $40.6), which we recorded in other current assets on our consolidated balance sheet. TRS FVAs (representing the change of fair value of TRS) are recognized in our consolidated statement of operations each quarter. See note 8 for TRS FVAs in Q2 2024, 1H 2024, and the respective prior year periods.
Interest rate risk:
Borrowings under the Credit Facility expose us to interest rate risk due to the potential variability of market interest rates (see note 7). In order to partially hedge against our exposure to interest rate variability on our New Term Loans, we are party to various agreements with third-party banks to swap the variable interest rate with a fixed rate of interest for a portion of the borrowings thereunder. At June 30, 2024, we had interest rate swaps hedging the interest rate risk associated with $130.0 of our Term A Loan borrowings and $200.0 of our Term B Loan borrowings, each of which expire in December 2025. Prior to the June 2024 Amendment, these interest rate swaps were used to hedge $100.0 of our Initial Term Loan borrowings and $230.0 of our Incremental Term Loan borrowings. We continue to apply hedge accounting to our interest rate swaps, as the term loan borrowings prior and subsequent to the June 2024 Amendment share the same floating interest rate risk. The option to cancel up to $50.0 of the notional amount of the interest rate swaps on the Incremental Term Loan from January 2024 through October 2025 was terminated in January 2024.

At June 30, 2024, the interest rate risk related to $420.0 of borrowings under the Credit Facility was unhedged, consisting of unhedged amounts outstanding under the New Term Loans ($300.0 under the Term B Loan and $120.0 under the Term A Loan). See note 7.
At June 30, 2024, the fair value of our interest rate swap agreements was an unrealized gain of $12.6 (December 31, 2023 — an unrealized gain of $13.2), which we recorded in other non-current assets on our consolidated balance sheet. The unrealized portion of the change in fair value of the swaps is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) (OCI). The realized portion of the change in fair value of the swaps is released from accumulated OCI and recognized under finance costs in our consolidated statement of operations when the hedged interest expense is recognized.
Currency risk:
The majority of our currency risk is driven by operational costs, including income tax expense, incurred in local currencies by our subsidiaries. We cannot predict changes in currency exchange rates, the impact of exchange rate changes on our operating results, nor the degree to which we will be able to manage the impact of currency exchange rate changes. Such changes could have a material effect on our business, financial performance and financial condition.
Our major currency exposures at June 30, 2024 are summarized in U.S. dollar equivalents in the following table. The local currency amounts have been converted to U.S. dollar equivalents using spot rates at June 30, 2024.

We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge our cash flow exposures and foreign currency swaps to hedge the exposures of our monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. While these contracts are intended to reduce the effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, our hedging strategy does not mitigate the longer-term impacts of changes to foreign exchange rates.

(1)Represents the U.S. dollar equivalent (not in millions) of one unit of the foreign currency, weighted based on the notional amounts of the underlying foreign currency forward and swap contracts outstanding as at June 30, 2024.
At June 30, 2024, the aggregate fair value of our outstanding contracts was a net unrealized loss of $8.8 (December 31, 2023 — net unrealized gain of $6.5), resulting from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates between the contract execution and the period-end date. At June 30, 2024, we recorded $5.4 of derivative assets in other current assets and an aggregate of $14.2 of derivative liabilities in other current liabilities (December 31, 2023 — $15.8 of derivative assets in other current assets and $9.3 of derivative liabilities in other current liabilities).
Credit risk:
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty may default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to us. We believe our credit risk of counterparty non-performance continues to be relatively low. We are in regular contact with our customers, suppliers and logistics providers, and have not experienced significant counterparty credit-related non-performance in 2023 or 1H 2024. However, if a key supplier (or any company within such supplier's supply chain) or customer fails to comply with their contractual obligations, this could result in a significant financial loss to us. We would also suffer a significant financial loss if an institution from which we purchased foreign currency exchange contracts and swaps, interest rate swaps, or annuities for our pension plans, or the counterparty to our TRS Agreement, defaults on their contractual obligations. With respect to our financial market activities, we have adopted a policy of dealing only with counterparties we deem to be creditworthy. No material adjustments were made to our allowance for doubtful accounts during Q2 2024 or 1H 2024 in connection with our ongoing credit risk assessments.
Liquidity risk:
Liquidity risk is the risk that we may not have cash available to satisfy our financial obligations as they come due. The majority of our financial liabilities recorded in accounts payable, accrued and other current liabilities and provisions are due within 90 days. We manage liquidity risk through maintenance of cash on hand and access to the various financing arrangements described in notes 5 and 7. We believe that cash flow from operating activities, together with cash on hand, cash from accepted sales of A/R, and borrowings available under the Revolver and potentially available under uncommitted intraday and overnight bank overdraft facilities, are sufficient to fund our currently anticipated financial obligations, and will remain available in the

current environment. As our A/R sales program and SFPs are each uncommitted, however, there can be no assurance that any participant bank will purchase any of the A/R that we wish to sell.
12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation:
In the normal course of our operations, we may be subject to lawsuits, investigations and other claims, including environmental, labor, product, customer disputes, and other matters. Management believes that adequate provisions have been recorded where required. Although it is not always possible to estimate the extent of potential costs, if any, we believe that the ultimate resolution of all such pending matters will not have a material adverse impact on our financial performance, financial position or liquidity.
Taxes and Other Matters:
In 2021, the Romanian tax authorities issued a final assessment in the aggregate amount of approximately 31 million Romanian leu (approximately $7 at Q2 2024 period-end exchange rates), for additional income and value-added taxes for one of our Romanian subsidiaries for the 2014 to 2018 tax years. In order to advance our case to the appeals phase and reduce or eliminate potential interest and penalties, we paid the Romanian tax authorities the full amount assessed in 2021 (without agreement to all or any portion of such assessment). We believe that our originally-filed tax return positions are in compliance with applicable Romanian tax laws and regulations, and intend to vigorously defend our position through all necessary appeals or other judicial processes.
The successful pursuit of assertions made by any government authority, including tax authorities, could result in our owing significant amounts of tax or other reimbursements, interest and possibly penalties. We believe we adequately accrue for any probable potential adverse ruling. However, there can be no assurance as to the final resolution of any claims and any resulting proceedings. If any claims and any ensuing proceedings are determined adversely to us, the amounts we may be required to pay could be material, and in excess of amounts accrued.
