| (2) | During the third quarter of 2023, the company recorded derecognition charges of $253 million on its Meadow Creek development properties<br>in the Oil Sands segment. | ||||||||
| Β· | Suncorβs adjusted operating earnings were $1.875 billion ($1.48 per<br>common share) in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $1.980 billion ($1.52 per common share) in the prior year quarter, with the decrease<br>primarily due to lower realized crude oil prices and refined product realizations, partially offset by increased Oil Sands and ExplorationΒ &<br>Production (E&P) sales volumes, as well as higher refinery production. | ||||||||
| --- | --- | ||||||||
| Β· | Net earnings increased to $2.020 billion ($1.59 per common share) in the<br>third quarter of 2024, compared to $1.544 billion ($1.19 per common share) in the prior year quarter. In addition to the factors impacting<br>adjusted operating earnings, net earnings for the third quarter of 2024 and the prior year quarter were impacted by the reconciling items<br>shown in the table above. | ||||||||

| --- | --- | ||||||||
| Β· | Cash flow provided by operating activities, which includes changes in non-cash<br>working capital, increased to $4.261 billion ($3.36 per common share) in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $4.184 billion ($3.22<br>per common share) in the prior year quarter. | ||||||||
| --- | --- | ||||||||
| Β· | Suncorβs total operating, selling and general (OS&G) expenses decreased<br>to $3.055 billion in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $3.124 billion in the prior year quarter, with the decrease primarily due<br>to lower share-based compensation expense, decreased operations and maintenance costs and lower commodity costs, which more than offset<br>the companyβs increased working interest in Fort Hills compared to the third quarter of 2023. | ||||||||
| --- | --- | ||||||||

| Β· | Total<br> Oil Sands bitumen production increased to 909,600 bbls/d in the third quarter of 2024, compared<br> to 787,000 bbls/d in the prior year quarter, primarily due to the companyβs increased<br> working interest in Fort Hills and strong mining performance. | ||||||||
| --- | --- | ||||||||
| Β· | The<br> companyβs net synthetic crude oil (SCO) production increased to a third quarter record<br> of 513,800 bbls/d, compared to 469,300 bbls/d in the prior year quarter, reflecting higher<br> upgrader availability due to lower planned turnaround activities in the current quarter compared<br> to the prior year quarter. Oil Sands Base upgrader utilization was 94% and Syncrude was a<br> record 104%, compared to 83% and 97%, respectively, in the prior year quarter. | ||||||||
| --- | --- | ||||||||
| Β· | Non-upgraded<br> bitumen production increased to 262,200 bbls/d in the third quarter of 2024, compared to<br> 176,800 bbls/d in the prior year quarter, primarily due to the acquisition of Fort Hills,<br> continued strong production at Firebag following a reduction of production early in the quarter<br> to safely manage regional wildfire impacts, and lower demand for upgrader feedstock from<br> Firebag due to strong mining performance in the current quarter. | ||||||||
| --- | --- | ||||||||
| Β· | E&P<br> production increased to 52,600 bbls/d in the third quarter of 2024, compared to 44,400 bbls/d<br> in the prior year quarter, primarily due to the addition of production from Terra Nova and<br> increased production at Hebron, partially offset by the absence of production from White<br> Rose due to the asset life extension project. | ||||||||
| --- | --- | ||||||||
| Β· | Refinery<br> utilization was at or above 100% at all refineries in the current quarter, resulting in record<br> overall utilization of 105% and throughput of 487,600 bbls/d, compared to 99% and 463,200<br> bbls/d in the prior year quarter, which was impacted by planned maintenance activities at<br> the Edmonton and Montreal refineries. | ||||||||
| --- | --- | ||||||||
| Β· | Record<br> refined product sales of 612,300 bbls/d in the third quarter of 2024, compared to 574,100<br> bbls/d in the prior year quarter, with the increase primarily due to higher refinery throughput<br> and the company leveraging its extensive domestic sales network and export channels. | ||||||||
| --- | --- |
Corporate and Strategy Updates
| Β· | Debt reduction of over $1.4 billion. In the third quarter of 2024, Suncor repaid $331 million<br> in debt and, subsequent to the quarter, executed a debt tender offer and repaid approximately<br> $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of the companyβs outstanding notes, which enables<br> Suncor to capture significant economic value and significantly reduce its future interest<br> obligations. |
|---|---|
| Β· | Net debt target of $8 billion achieved. During the third quarter, Suncor successfully achieved<br> its updated net debt target of $8 billion announced on the MayΒ 21^st^ investor<br> day, well ahead of initial expectations, triggering a move to 100% of excess funds returned<br> to shareholders. |
| --- | --- |
| Β· | Quarterly dividend increase. Subsequent to the third quarter, Suncorβs board of directors<br> approved a quarterly dividend of $0.57 per share, an increase of approximately 5% over the<br> prior quarter dividend. |

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Certain financial measures in this news releaseΒ β namely adjusted funds from operations, adjusted operating earnings, free funds flow and net debt, and related per share or per barrel amountsΒ β are not prescribed by GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are included because management uses the information to analyze business performance, leverage and liquidity, as applicable, and it may be useful to investors on the same basis. 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. Therefore, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Except as otherwise indicated, these non-GAAP financial measures are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. Specific adjusting items may only be relevant in certain periods.
Adjusted Operating Earnings
Adjusted operating earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure that adjusts net earnings for significant items that are not indicative of operating performance. Management uses adjusted operating earnings to evaluate operating performance because management believes it provides better comparability between periods. Adjusted operating earnings are reconciled to net earnings in the news release above.
Adjusted Funds From (Used In) Operations
Adjusted funds from (used in) operations is a non-GAAP financial measure that adjusts a GAAP measureΒ β cash flow provided by operating activitiesΒ β for changes in non-cash working capital, which management uses to analyze operating performance and liquidity. Changes to non-cash working capital can be impacted by, among other factors, commodity price volatility, the timing of offshore feedstock purchases and payments for commodity and income taxes, the timing of cash flows related to accounts receivable and accounts payable, and changes in inventory, which management believe reduces comparability between periods.

Net debt and total debt are non-GAAP financial measures that management uses to analyze the financial condition of the company. Total debt includes short-term debt, current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt (all of which are GAAP measures). Net debt is equal to total debt less cash and cash equivalents (a GAAP measure).

Suncorβs adjusted operating earnings were $1.875Β billion ($1.48 per common share) in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $1.980Β billion ($1.52 per common share) in the prior year quarter, with the decrease primarily due to lower realized crude oil prices and refined product realizations, partially offset by increased Oil Sands and Exploration & Production (E&P) sales volumes, as well as higher refinery production.
β
β’
Net earnings increased to $2.020Β billion ($1.59 per common share) in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $1.544Β billion ($1.19 per common share) in the prior year quarter.

β’
Suncorβs total operating, selling and general (OS&G) expenses decreased to $3.055Β billion in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $3.124Β billion in the prior year quarter, with the decrease primarily due to lower share-based compensation expense, decreased operations and maintenance costs and lower commodity costs, which more than offset the companyβs increased working interest in Fort Hills compared to the third quarter of 2023.

β
β’
Total Oil Sands bitumen production increased to 909,600 bbls/d in the third quarter of 2024, compared to 787,000 bbls/d in the prior year quarter, primarily due to the companyβs increased working interest in Fort Hills and strong mining performance.
β
β’
The companyβs net synthetic crude oil (SCO) production increased to a third quarter record of 513,800 bbls/d, compared to 469,300Β bbls/d in the prior year quarter, reflecting higher upgrader availability due to lower planned turnaround activities in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter. Oil Sands Base upgrader utilization was 94% and Syncrude was a record 104%, compared to 83% and 97%, respectively, in the prior year quarter.
β
β’
Non-upgraded bitumen production increased to 262,200 bbls/d in the third quarter of 2024, compared to 176,800 bbls/d in the prior year quarter, primarily due to the acquisition of Fort Hills, continued strong production at Firebag following a reduction of production early in the quarter to safely manage regional wildfire impacts, and lower demand for upgrader feedstock from Firebag due to strong mining performance in the current quarter.
β
β’
E&P production increased to 52,600 bbls/d in the third quarter of 2024, compared to 44,400 bbls/d in the prior year quarter, primarily due to the addition of production from Terra Nova and increased production at Hebron, partially offset by the absence of production from White Rose due to the asset life extension project.
β
β’
Refinery utilization was at or above 100% at all refineries in the current quarter, resulting in record overall utilization of 105% and throughput of 487,600 bbls/d, compared to 99% and 463,200 bbls/d in the prior year quarter, which was impacted by planned maintenance activities at the Edmonton and Montreal refineries.
β
β’
Record refined product sales of 612,300 bbls/d in the third quarter of 2024, compared to 574,100 bbls/d in the prior year quarter, with the increase primarily due to higher refinery throughput and the company leveraging its extensive domestic sales network and export channels.

- THIRD QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS
β’
Third quarter financial results. Adjusted funds from operations(1) were $3.787Β billion ($2.98 per common share) in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $3.634Β billion ($2.80 per common share) in the prior year quarter. Adjusted operating earnings(1) were $1.875Β billion ($1.48 per common share) in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $1.980Β billion ($1.52 per common share) in the prior year quarter.
β
β’
Record third quarter upstream production. Driven by Oil Sands production of 776,000 bbls/d with upgrader utilization(2) of 99%, the second highest in the companyβs history, including 94% at Oil Sands Base and a record 104% at Syncrude. Third quarter Oil Sands production was driven by the companyβs increased working interest at Fort Hills, strong mining performance and fewer planned maintenance activities in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter.
β
β’
Record refinery throughput and refined product sales. Refinery utilization was at or above 100% at all refineries in the current quarter, resulting in record overall utilization of 105% and throughput of 487,600 bbls/d. Refined product sales were a record 612,300 bbls/d, marking the third consecutive quarter of record sales.
β
β’
Returned value to shareholders. Suncor returned approximately $1.5Β billion of value to shareholders in the third quarter of 2024 through $790Β million in share repurchases and $690Β million in dividends. As at NovemberΒ 7, 2024, since the start of the year, the company has repurchased approximately $2.158Β billion of Suncorβs common shares under its normal course issuer bid (NCIB), representing approximately 42Β million common shares at an average price of $51.73Β per common share, or the equivalent of 3.2% of its common shares as at DecemberΒ 31, 2023.
β
β’
Debt reduction of over $1.4Β billion. In the third quarter of 2024, Suncor repaid $331Β million in debt and, subsequent to the quarter, executed a debt tender offer and repaid approximately $1.1Β billion aggregate principal amount of the companyβs outstanding notes, which enables Suncor to capture significant economic value, including significantly reducing its future interest obligations.
β
β’
Net debt(1) target ofβ $8 billion achieved. During the third quarter, Suncor successfully achieved its updated net debt(1) target of $8 billion announced on the MayΒ 21st investor day, well ahead of initial expectations, triggering a move to 100% of excess funds returned to shareholders.
β
β’
Quarterly dividend increase. Subsequent to the third quarter, Suncorβs board of directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.57Β per share, an increase of approximately 5% over the prior quarter dividend.

β
Suncorβs adjusted operating earnings were $1.875Β billion ($1.48 per common share) in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $1.980Β billion ($1.52 per common share) in the prior year quarter, with the decrease primarily due to lower realized crude oil prices and refined product realizations, partially offset by increased Oil Sands and E&P sales volumes, as well as higher refinery production.
Adjusted Funds from Operations and Cash Flow Provided by Operating Activities
Adjusted funds from operations were $3.787Β billion ($2.98 per common share) in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $3.634Β billion ($2.80 per common share) in the prior year quarter, and were primarily influenced by the same factors impacting adjusted operating earnings, excluding the impact of share-based compensation expense.
Cash flow provided by operating activities, which includes changes in non-cash working capital, was $4.261Β billion ($3.36 per common share) in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $4.184Β billion ($3.22 per common share) in the prior year quarter. In addition to the factors impacting adjusted funds from operations, cash flow provided by operating activities was impacted by a lower source of cash associated with the companyβs working capital balances in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter. The source of cash in the third quarter of 2024 was primarily due to decreased accounts receivable balances, as a result of a decrease in benchmark commodity prices during the quarter, partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which includes the timing impact of commodity taxes payable.

In the third quarter of 2024, share-based compensation expense ofβ $76Β million included $26Β million recorded in the Oil Sands segment, $1Β million recorded in the E&P segment, $13Β million recorded in the R&M segment and $36Β million recorded in the Corporate and Eliminations segment. In the third quarter of 2023, share-based compensation expense ofβ $231Β million included $78Β million recorded in the Oil Sands segment, $5Β million recorded in the E&P segment, $32Β million recorded in the R&M segment and $116Β million recorded in the Corporate and Eliminations segment. In the third quarter of 2023, other primarily included costs associated with investments in the companyβs digital transformation and spend related to project development. In the nineΒ months ended SeptemberΒ 30, 2023, other included a $275Β million restructuring charge related to workforce reduction.
β
The decrease in OS&G expenses in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to lower share-based compensation expense, decreased operations and maintenance costs and lower commodity costs, which more than offset the companyβs increased working interest in Fort Hills compared to the third quarter of 2023. The companyβs exposure to commodity costs is partially mitigated by revenue from power sales that are recorded in operating revenues.

Oil Sands Base upgrader yields are approximately 80% of bitumen throughput and Syncrude upgrader yield is approximately 85% of bitumen throughput. Upgrader utilization rates are calculated using total upgraded production, inclusive of internally consumed products and inter-asset transfers.
β
(2)
Both Oil Sands operations and Syncrude produce diesel and other products, which are internally consumed in operations. In the third quarter of 2024, Oil Sands operations production volumes included 14,400 bbls/d of internally consumed products, of which 8,000 bbls/d was consumed at Oil Sands operations, 5,500 bbls/d was consumed at Fort Hills and 900 bbls/d was consumed at Syncrude. Syncrude production volumes included 2,800 bbls/d of internally consumed products.
β
(3)
In the third quarter of 2024, upgraded inter-asset transfers consist of 12,200 bbls/d of sour SCO that was transferred from Oil Sands operations to Syncrude.
β
(4)
In the third quarter of 2024, non-upgraded inter-asset transfers consist of 21,300 bbls/d of bitumen that was transferred from Fort Hills to Oil Sands Base, 11,000 bbls/d of bitumen that was transferred from Firebag to Syncrude and 100 bbls/d of bitumen that was transferred from Syncrude to Oil Sands operations.
β
Total Oil Sands bitumen production increased to 909,600 bbls/d in the third quarter of 2024, compared to 787,000 bbls/d in the prior year quarter, primarily due to the companyβs increased working interest in Fort Hills and strong mining performance.
The companyβs net SCO production increased to a third quarter record of 513,800 bbls/d, compared to 469,300 bbls/d in the prior year quarter, reflecting higher upgrader availability due to lower planned turnaround activities in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter. Oil Sands Base upgrader utilization was 94% and Syncrude was a record 104%, compared to 83% and 97%, respectively, in the prior year quarter.
Non-upgraded bitumen production increased to 262,200 bbls/d in the third quarter of 2024, compared to 176,800 bbls/d in the prior year quarter, primarily due to the acquisition of Fort Hills, continued strong production at Firebag following a reduction of production early in the quarter to safely manage regional wildfire impacts, and lower demand for upgrader feedstock from Firebag due to strong mining performance in the current quarter.

Oil Sands price realizations decreased in the third quarter of 2024 from the prior year quarter, primarily due to a weakening in crude oil benchmark prices.
Royalties
Royalties for the Oil Sands segment decreased in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower bitumen pricing and widening of heavy crude oil differentials, partially offset by higher bitumen production volumes.
Expenses and Other Factors
Total Oil Sands operating expenses in the third quarter of 2024 were comparable to the prior year quarter, consistent with the companyβs focus on asset level cost reduction and operating leverage, and included lower maintenance and operations costs, workforce optimization impacts and decreased share-based compensation expense, which more than offset the companyβs increased working interest in Fort Hills.
Transportation costs increased in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher sales volumes.
DD&A expense, excluding the impacts of derecognitions and impairments, increased in the third quarter of 2024, compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to increased depreciation related to the companyβs asset retirement obligation assets and increased working interest at Fort Hills.

Refinery utilization was at or above 100% at all refineries in the current quarter, resulting in record overall utilization of 105% and throughput of 487,600 bbls/d, compared to 99% and 463,200 bbls/d in the prior year quarter, which was impacted by planned maintenance activities at the Edmonton and Montreal refineries.
Record refined product sales of 612,300 bbls/d in the third quarter of 2024, compared to 574,100 bbls/d in the prior year quarter, with the increase primarily due to higher refinery throughput and the company leveraging its extensive domestic sales network and export channels.
Refining and Marketing Gross Margins(1)
Refining and marketing gross margins were influenced by the following:
β’
On a LIFO(2) basis, Suncorβs refining and marketing gross margin decreased to $35.85/bbl in the third quarter of 2024, from $42.45/bbl in the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower benchmark crack spreads, partially offset by higher location differentials associated with the companyβs regional markets, all contributing to a 101% margin capture compared to Suncorβs 5-2-2-1 index.
β
β’
On a FIFO basis, Suncorβs refining and marketing gross margin decreased to $32.25/bbl in the third quarter of 2024, from $50.10/bbl in the prior year quarter, due to the same factors discussed above, in addition to FIFO inventory valuation impacts. In the third quarter of 2024, the FIFO method of inventory valuation resulted in a loss of $171Β million, compared to a gain of $348Β million in the prior year quarter, for an unfavourable quarter-over-quarter impact of $519Β million.
β
Expenses and Other Factors
Operating expenses in the third quarter of 2024Β decreased compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to decreased share-based compensation expense and lower commodity costs. Transportation expenses increased in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher sales volumes and exports.
Refining operating expense per barrel(1) decreased to $5.80 in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $6.20 in the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher refinery production and lower commodity input costs.
Results for the First Nine Months of 2024
R&Mβs earnings before income taxes were $2.186Β billion for the first nineΒ months of 2024, compared to $2.785Β billion in the prior year period. In addition to the factors impacting adjusted operating earnings, earnings before income taxes for the first nineΒ months of 2024 included a $4Β million unrealized loss on risk management activities, compared to a $16Β million unrealized gain in the prior year period.
Adjusted operating earnings for R&M in the first nineΒ months of 2024 were $2.190Β billion, compared to $2.769Β billion in the first nineΒ months of 2023, with the decrease primarily due to lower benchmark crack spreads and a FIFO inventory valuation loss in the current period, compared to a gain in the prior year period, partially offset by increased production volumes. For the first nineΒ months of 2024, the impact of the FIFO method of inventory valuation, relative to an estimated LIFO(2) method, had a negative impact to adjusted operating earnings and adjusted funds from operations of $78Β million, compared to a positive impact of $101Β million in the first nineΒ months of 2023.
R&Mβs adjusted funds from operations in the first nineΒ months of 2024 were $2.900Β billion, compared to $3.457Β billion in the first nineΒ months of 2023, with the decrease primarily due to the same factors that influenced adjusted operating earnings.

Corporate incurred an adjusted operating loss of $201Β million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $303Β million in the prior year quarter. The decreased loss was primarily attributable to a decrease in share-based compensation expense in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the prior year quarter, partially offset by an operational foreign exchange loss in the third quarter of 2024, compared to a gain in the prior year quarter. Suncor capitalized $88Β million of its borrowing costs in the third quarter of 2024 as part of the cost of major development assets and construction projects in progress, compared to $65Β million in the prior year quarter.
Eliminations reflect the deferral or realization of profit or loss on crude oil sales from Oil Sands to Suncorβs refineries. Consolidated profits and losses are only realized when the refined products from internal purchases have been sold to third parties. During the third quarter of 2024, the company realized $202Β million of intersegment profit, compared to a deferral of $215Β million in the prior year quarter. The realization of intersegment profit was primarily driven by a weakening in benchmark crude oil prices at the end of the quarter.
Corporate and Eliminations adjusted funds from operations were $71Β million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to adjusted funds used in operations of $368Β million in the third quarter of 2023, and were influenced by the same factors impacting adjusted operating earnings, excluding the impact of share-based compensation expense.
Results for the First Nine Months of 2024
Corporate and Eliminations loss before income taxes was $813Β million for first nineΒ months of 2024, compared to $1.295Β billion in the prior year period. In addition to the factors impacting adjusted operating loss, the loss before income taxes for the first nineΒ months of 2024 included a $200Β million unrealized foreign exchange loss on the revaluation of U.S. dollar denominated debt. Corporate and Eliminations loss before income taxes in the prior year period included a $15Β million unrealized foreign exchange loss on the revaluation of U.S. dollar denominated debt, a restructuring charge of $275Β million related to the companyβs workforce reductions recorded in the second quarter of 2023, and a $302Β million gain on the sale of the companyβs wind and solar assets in the first quarter of 2023.
The adjusted operating loss for Corporate and Eliminations for the first nineΒ months of 2024 was $613Β million, compared to $1.307Β billion in the first nineΒ months of 2023. The decreased loss was primarily attributed to an operational foreign exchange gain in the current period, compared to a loss in the prior year period and a smaller deferral of intersegment profit compared to the prior year period, partially offset by increased share-based compensation expense in the first nineΒ months of 2024, as compared to the first nineΒ months of 2023.
The company capitalized $245Β million of its borrowing costs in the first nineΒ months of 2024, compared with $185Β million in the first nineΒ months of 2023.
Corporate and Eliminations adjusted funds used in operations for the first nineΒ months of 2024 were $548Β million, compared to $1.556Β billion in the prior year period, and were influenced by the same factors impacting adjusted operating loss, excluding the impact of share-based compensation.

The provision for income taxes in the third quarter of 2024 increased to $674Β million, compared to $590Β million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to an increase in taxable earnings. In the third quarter of 2024, the companyβs effective tax rate on net earnings decreased compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to a lower impact of income earned in foreign jurisdictions with higher statutory tax rates, non-taxable foreign exchange gains on the revaluation of U.S. dollar denominated debt, and other permanent items impacting total tax expense.
The provision for income taxes in the first nineΒ months of 2024 increased to $1.899Β billion, compared to $1.724Β billion in the prior year period, primarily due to an increase in taxable earnings. In the first nineΒ months of 2024, the companyβs effective tax rate on net earnings increased compared to the prior year period, as the prior year period included the impact of a non-taxable gain on the disposition of the companyβs U.K. E&P portfolio, as well as the current year impact of non-taxable year-to-date foreign exchange losses on the revaluation of U.S. dollar denominated debt, and other permanent items impacting total tax expense.

During the third quarter of 2024, the company incurred $1.467Β billion of capital expenditures, excluding capitalized interest, compared to $1.512Β billion in the prior year quarter.

Capital Resources
Suncorβs capital resources consist primarily of cash flow provided by operating activities, cash and cash equivalents, and available lines of credit. Suncorβs management believes the company will have the capital resources required to fund its planned 2024 capital spending program of $6.3Β billion to $6.5Β billion, and to meet current and future working capital requirements, through cash and cash equivalents balances, cash flow provided by operating activities, available committed credit facilities, issuing commercial paper and, if needed, accessing capital markets. The companyβs cash flow provided by operating activities depends on several factors, including commodity prices, production, sales volumes, refining and marketing gross margins, operating expenses, taxes, royalties and foreign exchange rates.
The company has invested cash in short-term financial instruments that are presented as cash and cash equivalents. The objectives of the companyβs short-term investment portfolio are to ensure the preservation of capital, maintain adequate liquidity to meet Suncorβs cash flow requirements, and deliver competitive returns derived from the quality and diversification of investments within acceptable risk parameters. The maximum weighted average term to maturity of the short-term investment portfolio is not expected to exceed sixΒ months, and all investments are with counterparties with investment-grade debt ratings.
Available Sources of Liquidity
For the threeΒ months ended SeptemberΒ 30, 2024, cash and cash equivalents increased to $3.005Β billion from $2.374Β billion as at JuneΒ 30, 2024. The source of cash in the third quarter of 2024 was due to the companyβs cash flow provided by operating activities exceeding the companyβs capital and exploration expenditures, the repurchase of Suncorβs common shares under its normal course issuer bid (NCIB), the payment of dividends and repayment of long-term debt.
For the nineΒ months ended SeptemberΒ 30, 2024, cash and cash equivalents increased to $3.005Β billion from $1.729Β billion as at DecemberΒ 31, 2023, due to the companyβs cash flow provided by operating activities exceeding the companyβs capital and exploration expenditures, the payment of dividends, the repurchase of Suncorβs common shares under its NCIB, a decrease in short-term indebtedness and the repayment of long-term debt.
As at SeptemberΒ 30, 2024, the company had no short-term investments presented as cash and cash equivalents.
As at SeptemberΒ 30, 2024, available credit facilities for liquidity purposes were $5.308Β billion, compared to $4.957Β billion as at DecemberΒ 31, 2023. The increase in available credit facilities was primarily due to a decrease in short-term indebtedness.
Financing Activities
Management of debt levels and liquidity continues to be a priority for Suncor given the companyβs long-term plans and the expected future volatility in the business environment. Suncor believes a phased and flexible approach to existing and future projects should help the company maintain its ability to manage project costs and debt levels.
Total Debt to Total Debt Plus Shareholdersβ Equity
Suncor is subject to financial and operating covenants related to its bank debt and public market debt. Failure to meet the terms of one or more of these covenants may constitute an βevent of defaultβ as defined in the respective debt agreements,

potentially resulting in accelerated repayment of one or more of the debt obligations. The company is in compliance with its financial covenant that requires total debt and lease liabilities to not exceed 65% of its total debt and lease liabilities plus shareholdersβ equity. As at SeptemberΒ 30, 2024, total debt and lease liabilities to total debt and lease liabilities plus shareholdersβ equity was 25.0% (DecemberΒ 31, 2023βββ26.3%). The company also continues to be in compliance with all operating covenants under its debt agreements.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Managementβs Discussion and Analysis
The actual number of common shares that may be purchased under the NCIB and the timing of any such purchases will be determined by Suncor. The company believes that, depending on the trading price of its common shares and other relevant factors, repurchasing its own shares represents an attractive investment opportunity and is in the best interests of the company and its shareholders. The company does not expect the decision to allocate cash to repurchase shares will affect its long-term strategy.

Accounting Policies and New IFRS Standards
Suncorβs significant accounting policies and a summary of recently announced accounting standards are described in the Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates section of Suncorβs 2023 annual MD&A and in notesΒ 3 and 5 of Suncorβs audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended DecemberΒ 31, 2023.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect reported assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, gains and losses, and disclosures of contingencies. These estimates and assumptions are subject to change based on experience and new information. Critical accounting estimates are those that require management to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made. Critical accounting estimates are also those estimates that, where a different estimate could have been used or where changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur, would have a material impact on the companyβs financial condition, changes in financial condition or financial performance. Critical accounting estimates and judgments are reviewed annually by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. A detailed description of Suncorβs critical accounting estimates is provided in noteΒ 4 to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended DecemberΒ 31, 2023, and in the Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates section of Suncorβs 2023 annual MD&A.
Financial Instruments
Suncor periodically enters into derivative contracts such as forwards, futures, swaps, options and costless collars to manage exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices and foreign exchange rates, and to optimize the companyβs position with respect to interest payments. For more information on Suncorβs financial instruments and the related financial risk factors, see noteΒ 27 of the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended DecemberΒ 31, 2023, noteΒ 10 to the unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nineΒ months ended SeptemberΒ 30, 2024, and the Financial Condition and Liquidity section of the 2023 annual MD&A.
Control Environment
Based on their evaluation as at SeptemberΒ 30, 2024, Suncorβs Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the companyβs disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in RulesΒ 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in reports that are filed or submitted to Canadian and U.S. securities authorities is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Canadian and U.S. securities laws. In addition, as at SeptemberΒ 30, 2024, there were no changes in the internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act RulesΒ 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during the three-month period ended SeptemberΒ 30, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the companyβs internal control over financial reporting. Management will continue to periodically evaluate the companyβs disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting and will make any modifications as deemed necessary from time to time.
Based on their inherent limitations, disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements, and even those controls determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Corporate Guidance
There have been no changes to Suncorβs previously announced 2024 corporate guidance ranges (which were originally disclosed via press release on DecemberΒ 5, 2023), a copy of which is also available on www.sedarplus.ca.

Managementβs Discussion and Analysis
- NON-GAAP AND OTHER FINANCIAL MEASURES ADVISORY
Certain financial measures in this MD&Aβββnamely adjusted operating earnings (loss), adjusted funds from (used in) operations, measures contained in ROCE and ROCE excluding impairments and impairment reversals, price realizations, free funds flow, Oil Sands operations cash operating costs, Fort Hills cash operating costs, Syncrude cash operating costs, refining and marketing gross margin, refining operating expense, net debt, total debt, LIFO inventory valuation methodology and related per share or per barrel amounts or metrics that contain such measuresβββare not prescribed by GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are included because management uses the information to analyze business performance, leverage and liquidity, as applicable, and it may be useful to investors on the same basis. 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. Therefore, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Except as otherwise indicated, these non-GAAP financial measures are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. Specific adjusting items may only be relevant in certain periods.
Adjusted Operating Earnings (Loss)
Adjusted operating earnings (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure that adjusts net earnings (loss) for significant items that are not indicative of operating performance. Management uses adjusted operating earnings (loss) to evaluate operating performance because management believes it provides better comparability between periods. Adjusted operating earnings (loss) is reconciled to net earnings (loss) in the Consolidated Financial and Operating Information and Segment Results and Analysis sections of this MD&A.
Bridge Analyses of Adjusted Operating Earnings (Loss)
Within this MD&A, the company presents a chart that illustrates the change in adjusted operating earnings (loss) from the comparative period through key variance factors. These factors are analyzed in the Adjusted Operating Earnings (Loss) narratives following the bridge analysis in this MD&A. This bridge analysis is presented because management uses this presentation to evaluate performance. All reconciling items are presented on a before-tax basis and adjusted for income taxes in the Income Tax bridge factor.
β’
The factor for Sales Volumes and Mix is calculated based on sales volumes and mix for the Oil Sands and E&P segments and refinery production volumes for the R&M segment.
β
β’
The factor for Price, Margin and Other Revenue includes upstream price realizations before royalties, except for the companyβs Libya operations, which is net of royalties, and realized commodity risk management activities. Also included are refining and marketing gross margins, other operating revenue and the net impacts of sales and purchases of third-party crude, including product purchased for use as diluent in the companyβs Oil Sands operations and subsequently sold as part of diluted bitumen.
β
β’
The factor for Royalties excludes the impact of the companyβs Libya operations, as royalties in Libya are included in Price, Margin and Other Revenue as described above.
β
β’
The factor for Inventory Valuation is comprised of changes in the FIFO inventory valuation and the realized portion of commodity risk management activities reported in the R&M segment, as well as the impact of the deferral or realization of profit or loss on crude oil sales from the Oil Sands segment to Suncorβs refineries reported in the Corporate and Eliminations segment.
β
β’
The factor for Operating and Transportation Expense includes project startup costs, OS&G expense and transportation expense.
β
β’
The factor for Financing Expense and Other includes financing expenses, other income, operational foreign exchange gains and losses and changes in gains and losses on disposal of assets that are not adjusted operating earnings (loss) adjustments.
β
β’
The factor for DD&A and Exploration Expense includes depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, and exploration expense.
β
β’
The factor for Income Tax includes the companyβs current and deferred income tax expense on adjusted operating earnings, changes in statutory income tax rates and other income tax adjustments.

Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) and ROCE Excluding Impairments and Impairment Reversals
ROCE is a non-GAAP ratio that management uses to analyze operating performance and the efficiency of Suncorβs capital allocation process. ROCE is calculated using the non-GAAP financial measures adjusted net earnings and average capital employed. Adjusted net earnings are calculated by taking net earnings (loss) and adjusting after-tax amounts for unrealized foreign exchange on U.S. dollar denominated debt and net interest expense. Average capital employed is calculated as a twelve-month average of the capital employed balance at the beginning of the twelve-month period and the month-end capital employed balances throughout the remainder of the twelve-month period. Figures for capital employed at the beginning and end of the twelve-month period are presented to show the changes in the components of the calculation over the twelve-month period.

Adjusted Funds From (Used In) Operations
Adjusted funds from (used in) operations is a non-GAAP financial measure that adjusts a GAAP measureβββcash flow provided by operating activitiesβββfor changes in non-cash working capital, which management uses to analyze operating performance and liquidity. Changes to non-cash working capital can be impacted by, among other factors, commodity price volatility, the timing of offshore feedstock purchases and payments for commodity and income taxes, the timing of cash flows related to accounts receivable and accounts payable, and changes in inventory, which management believes reduces comparability between periods.
Adjusted funds from (used in) operations for each quarter are separately defined and reconciled to the cash flow provided by the operating activities measure in the Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Advisory section of each respective MD&A or Quarterly Report to shareholders, as applicable, for the related quarter, with such information being incorporated by reference herein and available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Managementβs Discussion and Analysis
Oil Sands Operations, Fort Hills and Syncrude Cash Operating Costs
Cash operating costs are calculated by adjusting Oil Sands segment OS&G expense for non-production costs and excess power capacity. Significant non-production costs include, but are not limited to, share-based compensation adjustments, research costs, project startup costs and adjustments to reflect the cost of internal transfers in the receiving asset at the cost of production versus the cost of purchase. Non-production costs at Fort Hills and Syncrude also include, but are not limited to, an adjustment to reflect internally produced diesel from Oil Sands operations at the cost of production. Excess power capacity represents excess power revenue from cogenerationΒ units that is recorded in operating revenues. Oil Sands operations excess power capacity and other also includes, but is not limited to, the natural gas expense recorded as part of a non-monetary arrangement involving a third-party processor. Oil Sands operations, Fort Hills and Syncrude production volumes are gross of internally consumed diesel and feedstock transfers between assets. Oil Sands operations, Fort Hills and Syncrude cash operating costs are reconciled in the Segment Results and AnalysisβββOil SandsβββCash Operating Costs section of this MD&A. Management uses cash operating costs to measure operating performance.
Refining and Marketing Gross Margin and Refining Operating Expense
Refining and marketing gross margins and refining operating expense are non-GAAP financial measures. Refining and marketing gross margin, on a FIFO basis, is calculated by adjusting R&M segment operating revenue, other income and purchases of crude oil and products (all of which are GAAP measures) for intersegment marketing fees recorded in intersegment revenues. Refining and marketing gross margin, on a LIFO basis, is further adjusted for the impacts of FIFO inventory valuation recorded in purchases of crude oil and products and risk management activities recorded in other income (loss). Refinery operating expense is calculated by adjusting R&M segment OS&G expense for i)Β non-refining costs pertaining to the companyβs supply, marketing and ethanol businesses; and ii)Β non-refining costs that management believes do not relate to the production of refined products, including, but not limited to, share-based compensation and enterprise shared service allocations. Management uses refining and marketing gross margin and refining operating expense to measure operating performance on a production barrel basis.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Impact of FIFO Inventory Valuation on Refining and Marketing Net Earnings (Loss)
GAAP requires the use of a FIFO inventory valuation methodology. For Suncor, this results in a disconnect between the sales prices for refined products, which reflect current market conditions, and the amount recorded as the cost of sale for the related refinery feedstock, which reflects market conditions at the time the feedstock was purchased. This lag between purchase and sale can be anywhere from several weeks to severalΒ months and is influenced by the time to receive crude after purchase, regional crude inventory levels, the completion of refining processes, transportation time to distribution channels and regional refined product inventory levels.
Suncor prepares and presents an estimate of the impact of using a FIFO inventory valuation methodology compared to a LIFO methodology, because management uses the information to analyze operating performance and compare itself against refining peers that are permitted to use LIFO inventory valuation under U.S. GAAP.
The companyβs estimate is not derived from a standardized calculation and, therefore, may not be directly comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP or U.S. GAAP.
Net Debt and Total Debt
Net debt and total debt are non-GAAP financial measures that management uses to analyze the financial condition of the company. Total debt includes short-term debt, current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt (all of which are GAAP measures). Net debt is equal to total debt less cash and cash equivalents (a GAAP measure).

Beginning in the second quarter of 2024, the company revised the definition of net debt and total debt to exclude lease liabilities to better align with how management and industry monitor capital structure. Prior period comparatives have been restated to reflect this change.

Price Realizations
Price realizations are a non-GAAP measure used by management to measure profitability. Oil Sands price realizations are presented on a crude product basis and are derived from the Oil Sands segmented statement of net earnings (loss), after adjusting for items not directly attributable to the revenues associated with production. E&P price realizations are presented on an asset location basis and are derived from the E&P segmented statement of net earnings (loss), after adjusting for other E&P assets, such as Libya, for which price realizations are not provided.

statements about the NCIB, including the amount, timing and manner of purchases under the NCIB, that depending on the trading price of its common shares and other relevant factors, repurchasing its common shares represents an attractive investment opportunity and is in the best interest of the company and its shareholders and the expectation that the decision to allocate cash to repurchase shares will not affect its long-term strategy.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, some that are similar to other oil and gas companies and some that are unique to Suncor. Suncorβs actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by its forward-looking statements, so readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on them. The financial and operating performance of the companyβs reportable operating segments, specifically Oil Sands, E&P and R&M, may be affected by a number of factors.
Factors that affect Suncorβs Oil Sands segment include, but are not limited to, volatility in the prices for crude oil and other production, and the related impacts of fluctuating light/heavy and sweet/sour crude oil differentials; changes in the demand for refinery feedstock and diesel fuel, including the possibility that refiners that process the companyβs proprietary production will be closed, experience equipment failure or other accidents; Suncorβs ability to operate its Oil Sands facilities reliably in order to meet production targets; the output of newly commissioned facilities, the performance of which may be difficult to predict during initial operations; Suncorβs dependence on pipeline capacity and other logistical constraints, which may affect the companyβs ability to distribute products to market and which may cause the company to delay or cancel planned growth projects in the event of insufficient takeaway capacity; Suncorβs ability to finance Oil Sands economic investment and asset sustainment and maintenance capital expenditures; the availability of bitumen feedstock for upgrading operations, which can be negatively affected by poor ore grade quality, unplanned mine equipment and extraction plant maintenance, tailings storage, and In Situ reservoir and equipment performance, or the unavailability of third-party bitumen; changes in operating costs, including the cost of labour, natural gas and other energy sources used in oil sands processes; and

Managementβs Discussion and Analysis
the companyβs ability to complete projects, including planned maintenance events, both on time and on budget, which could be impacted by competition from other projects (including other oil sands projects) for goods and services and demands on infrastructure in Albertaβs Wood Buffalo region and the surrounding area (including housing, roads and schools).
Factors that affect Suncorβs E&P segment include, but are not limited to, volatility in crude oil and natural gas prices; operational risks and uncertainties associated with oil and gas activities, including unexpected formations or pressures, premature declines of reservoirs, fires, blow-outs, equipment failures and other accidents, uncontrollable flows of crude oil, natural gas or well fluids, and pollution and other environmental risks; adverse weather conditions, which could disrupt output from producing assets or impact drilling programs, resulting in increased costs and/or delays in bringing on new production; political, economic and socioeconomic risks associated with Suncorβs foreign operations, including the unpredictability of operating in Libya due to ongoing political unrest; and market demand for mineral rights and producing properties, potentially leading to losses on disposition or increased property acquisition costs.
Factors that affect the R&M segment include, but are not limited to, fluctuations in demand and supply for refined products that impact the companyβs margins; market competition, including potential new market entrants; the companyβs ability to reliably operate refining and marketing facilities to meet production or sales targets; and risks and uncertainties affecting construction or planned maintenance schedules, including the availability of labour and other impacts of competing projects drawing on the same resources during the same time period.
Additional risks, uncertainties and other factors that could influence the financial and operating performance of all of Suncorβs operating segments and activities include, but are not limited to, changes in general economic, market and business conditions, such as commodity prices, interest rates and currency exchange rates (including as a result of demand and supply effects resulting from the actions of OPEC+ and/or the impact of armed conflicts in the Middle East, the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine); fluctuations in supply and demand for Suncorβs products; the successful and timely implementation of capital projects, including growth projects and regulatory projects; risks associated with the development and execution of Suncorβs major projects and the commissioning and integration of new facilities; the possibility that completed maintenance activities may not improve operational performance or the output of related facilities; the risk that projects and initiatives intended to achieve cash flow growth and/or reductions in operating costs may not achieve the expected results in the time anticipated or at all; competitive actions of other companies, including increased competition from other oil and gas companies or from companies that provide alternative sources of energy; labour and material shortages; actions by government authorities, including the imposition or reassessment of, or changes to, taxes, fees, royalties, duties and other government-imposed compliance costs; changes to laws and government policies that could impact the companyβs business, including environmental (including climate change), royalty and tax laws and policies; the ability and willingness of parties with whom Suncor has material relationships to perform their obligations to the company; the unavailability of, or outages to, third-party infrastructure that could cause disruptions to production or prevent the company from being able to transport its products; the occurrence of a protracted operational outage, a major safety or environmental incident, or unexpected events such as fires (including forest fires), equipment failures and other similar events affecting Suncor or other parties whose operations or assets directly or indirectly affect Suncor; the potential for security breaches of Suncorβs information technology and infrastructure by malicious persons or entities, and the unavailability or failure of such systems to perform as anticipated as a result of such breaches; security threats and terrorist or activist activities; the risk that competing business objectives may exceed Suncorβs capacity to adopt and implement change; risks and uncertainties associated with obtaining regulatory, third-party and stakeholder approvals outside of Suncorβs control for the companyβs operations, projects, initiatives and exploration and development activities and the satisfaction of any conditions to approvals; the potential for disruptions to operations and construction projects as a result of Suncorβs relationships with labour unions that represent employees at the companyβs facilities; the companyβs ability to find new oil and gas reserves that can be developed economically; the accuracy of Suncorβs reserves, resources and future production estimates; market instability affecting Suncorβs ability to borrow in the capital debt markets at acceptable rates or to issue other securities at acceptable prices; the ability to maintain an optimal debt to cash flow ratio; the success of the companyβs marketing and logistics activities using derivatives and other financial instruments; the cost of compliance with current and future environmental laws, including climate change laws; risks relating to increased activism and public opposition to fossil fuels and oil sands; risks and uncertainties associated with closing a transaction for the purchase or sale of a business, asset or oil and gas property, including estimates of the final consideration to be paid or received; the ability of counterparties to comply with their obligations in a timely manner; risks associated with joint arrangements in which the company has an interest; risks associated with land claims and Indigenous consultation requirements; the risk that the company may be subject to litigation; the impact of technology and risks associated with developing and implementing new technologies; and the accuracy of cost estimates, some of which are provided at the conceptual or other preliminary stage of projects and prior to commencement or conception of the detailed engineering that is needed to reduce the margin of error and increase the level of accuracy. The foregoing important factors are not exhaustive.
Many of these risk factors and other assumptions related to Suncorβs forward-looking statements are discussed in further detail throughout this MD&A, and in the companyβs 2023 annual MD&A, the 2023 AIF and FormΒ 40-F on file with Canadian securities commissions at www.sedarplus.ca and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov. Readers are also referred to the risk factors and assumptions described in other MD&As that Suncor files from time to time with securities regulatory authorities. Copies of these MD&As are available without charge from the company.
The forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A are made as of the date of this MD&A. Except as required by applicable securities laws, we assume no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements or the foregoing risks and assumptions affecting such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
- REPORTING ENTITY AND DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
Suncor is Canadaβs leading integrated energy company. Suncorβs operations include oil sands development, production and upgrading; offshore oil production; petroleum refining in Canada and the U.S.; and the companyβs Petro-Canadaβ’ retail and wholesale distribution networks (including Canadaβs Electric Highwayβ’, a coast-to-coast network of fast-charging EV stations). Suncor is developing petroleum resources while advancing the transition to a lower-emissions future through investments in lower emissions intensity power, renewable feedstock fuels and projects targeting emissions intensity. Suncor also conducts energy trading activities focused primarily on the marketing and trading of crude oil, natural gas, byproducts, refined products and power. Suncorβs common shares (symbol: SU) are listed on the TSX and NYSE.
The address of the companyβs registered office is 150βββ6th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2P 3E3.
- BASIS OF PREPARATION
(a) Statement of Compliance
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are based on International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting StandardΒ 34 Interim Financial Reporting. They are condensed as they do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements, and they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the company for the year ended DecemberΒ 31, 2023.
(b) Basis of Measurement
The consolidated financial statements are prepared on a historical cost basis except as detailed in the accounting policies disclosed in the companyβs audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended DecemberΒ 31, 2023.
(c) Functional Currency and Presentation Currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the companyβs functional currency.
(d) Use of Estimates, Assumptions and Judgments
The timely preparation of financial statements requires that management make estimates and assumptions and use judgment. Accordingly, actual results may differ from estimated amounts as future confirming events occur. Significant estimates and judgment used in the preparation of the financial statements are described in the companyβs audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended DecemberΒ 31, 2023.
(e) Income Taxes
The company recognizes the impacts of income tax rate changes in earnings in the period that the applicable rate change is enacted or substantively enacted.
- NEW IFRS STANDARDS
(a) Adoption of New IFRS Standards
In OctoberΒ 2022, the IASB issued Non-current Liabilities with Covenants (Amendments to IASΒ 1). The amendments improved the information an entity provides when its right to defer settlement of a liability for at least twelveΒ months is subject to compliance with covenants. The company adopted the amendments on the effective date JanuaryΒ 1, 2024, and there was no material impact to the consolidated financial statements as a result of the initial application.
In SeptemberΒ 2022, the IASB issued Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback (Amendments to IFRSΒ 16). The amendments add subsequent measurement requirements for sale and leaseback transactions. The company adopted the amendments on the effective date JanuaryΒ 1, 2024, and there was no impact to the consolidated financial statements as a result of the initial application.

(b) Recently Announced Accounting Pronouncements
In AprilΒ 2024, the IASB issued IFRSΒ 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements which will replace IASΒ 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. The new standard will establish a revised structure for the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and improve comparability across entities and reporting periods. IFRSΒ 18 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after JanuaryΒ 1, 2027. The standard will be applied retroactively, with certain transition provisions. The company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting IFRSΒ 18 on the consolidated financial statements.

The companyβs operating segments are reported based on the nature of their products and services and management responsibility.
Intersegment sales of crude oil and natural gas are accounted for at market values and are included, for segmented reporting, in revenues of the segment making the transfer and expenses of the segment receiving the transfer. Intersegment amounts are eliminated on consolidation.

- FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Derivative Financial Instruments
(a) Non-Designated Derivative Financial Instruments
The company uses derivative financial instruments, such as physical and financial contracts, to manage certain exposures to fluctuations in interest rates, commodity prices and foreign currency exchange rates, as part of its overall risk management program, as well as for trading purposes.
The changes in the fair value of non-designated derivatives are as follows:
| β | ($ millions) | β | β | Total | β | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| β | Fair value outstanding at DecemberΒ 31, 2023 | β | β | β | β | (20) | β | β |

| β | Fair value outstanding at SeptemberΒ 30, 2024 | β | β | β | β | 67 | β | β |
(b) Fair Value Hierarchy
To estimate the fair value of derivatives, the company uses quoted market prices when available, or third-party models and valuation methodologies that utilize observable market data. In addition to market information, the company incorporates transaction-specific details that market participants would utilize in a fair value measurement, including the impact of non-performance risk. However, these fair value estimates may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts that could be realized or settled in a current market transaction. The company characterizes inputs used in determining fair value using a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs depending on the degree to which they are observable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
β’
LevelΒ 1 consists of instruments with a fair value determined by an unadjusted quoted price in an active market for identical assets or liabilities. An active market is characterized by readily and regularly available quoted prices where the prices are representative of actual and regularly occurring market transactions to assure liquidity.
β
β’
LevelΒ 2 consists of instruments with a fair value that is determined by quoted prices in an inactive market, prices with observable inputs or prices with insignificant non-observable inputs. The fair value of these positions is determined using observable inputs from exchanges, pricing services, third-party independent broker quotes and published transportation tolls. The observable inputs may be adjusted using certain methods, which include extrapolation over the quoted price term and quotes for comparable assets and liabilities.
β
β’
LevelΒ 3 consists of instruments with a fair value that is determined by prices with significant unobservable inputs. As at SeptemberΒ 30, 2024, the company does not have any derivative instruments measured at fair value LevelΒ 3.
β
In forming estimates, the company utilizes the most observable inputs available for valuation purposes. If a fair value measurement reflects inputs of different levels within the hierarchy, the measurement is categorized based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

- PENSIONS AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS
For the nineΒ months ended SeptemberΒ 30, 2024, the actuarial gain on employee retirement benefit plans was $480Β million (net of taxes of $151Β million), mainly due to strong plan assets performance while discount rates were unchanged at 4.60% (DecemberΒ 31, 2023βββ4.60%).

Operating Summary Information
Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures
Certain financial measures in this Supplemental Financial and Operating Informationβββnamely adjusted operating earnings (loss), adjusted funds from (used in) operations, free funds flow, measures contained in return on capital employed (ROCE) and ROCE excluding impairments and impairment reversals, Oil Sands operations cash operating costs, Fort Hills cash operating costs, Syncrude cash operating costs, refining and marketing gross margin, rack forward gross margin, refining operating expense, rack forward operating expense, net debt, total debt and operating netbacksβββare not prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Suncor uses this information to analyze business performance, leverage and liquidity and includes these financial measures because investors may find such measures useful on the same basis. 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. The additional information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted operating earnings (loss), Oil Sands operations cash operating costs, Fort Hills cash operating costs and Syncrude cash operating costs are defined in the Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Advisory section and reconciled to GAAP measures in the Consolidated Financial Information and Segment Results and Analysis sections of each respective Quarterly Report to Shareholders in respect of the relevant quarter (Quarterly Report). Adjusted funds from (used in) operations, free funds flow and measures contained in ROCE and ROCE excluding impairments and impairment reversals, net debt and total debt are defined and reconciled to GAAP measures in the Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Advisory section of each respective Quarterly Report. Refining and marketing gross margin, rack forward gross margin, refining operating expense and rack forward operating expense are defined in the Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Advisory section and reconciled to GAAP measures in the Quarterly Operating Metrics Reconciliation section of each respective Quarterly Report. Operating netbacks are defined below and are reconciled to GAAP measures in the Quarterly Operating Metrics Reconciliation section of each respective Quarterly Report. The remainder of the non-GAAP financial measures not otherwise mentioned in this paragraph are defined and reconciled in this Quarterly Report.
Oil Sands Operating Netbacks
Oil Sands operating netbacks are a non-GAAP measure, presented on a crude product and sales barrel basis, and are derived from the Oil Sands segmented statement of net earnings (loss), after adjusting for items not directly attributable to the revenues and costs associated with production and delivery. Management uses Oil Sands operating netbacks to measure crude product profitability on a sales barrel basis.
Exploration and Production (E&P) Operating Netbacks
E&P operating netbacks are a non-GAAP measure, presented on an asset location and sales barrel basis, and are derived from the E&P segmented statement of net earnings (loss), after adjusting for items not directly attributable to the revenues and costs associated with production and delivery. Management uses E&P operating netbacks to measure asset profitability by location on a sales barrel basis.
Definitions
(1)
Cash operating costs are calculated by adjusting Oil Sands segment operating, selling and general expense for non-production costs and excess power capacity. Significant non-production costs include, but are not limited to, share-based compensation adjustments, research costs, project startup costs and adjustments to reflect the cost of internal transfers in the receiving asset at the cost of production versus the cost of purchase. Non-production costs at Fort Hills and Syncrude also include, but are not limited to, an adjustment to reflect internally produced diesel from Oil Sands operations at the cost of production. Excess power capacity represents excess power revenue from cogenerationΒ units that is recorded in operating revenues. Oil Sands operations excess power capacity and other also includes, but is not limited to, the natural gas expense recorded as part of a non-monetary arrangement involving a third-party processor. Oil Sands operations, Fort Hills and Syncrude production volumes are gross of internally consumed diesel and feedstock transfers between assets. Oil Sands operations, Fort Hills and Syncrude cash operating costs are reconciled in the Segment Results and AnalysisβββOil Sands section of this MD&A. Management uses cash operating costs to measure operating performance.

Reflects the items not directly attributed to revenues received from the sale of proprietary crude and net non-proprietary activity at its deemed point of sale.
β
(3)
Reflects adjustments for general and administrative costs not directly attributed to the production of each crude product type, as well as the revenues associated with excess power generated from cogenerationΒ units and sold that is recorded in operating revenue.
β

Production from the companyβs Libya operations has been presented in this document on an economic basis. Revenue and royalties from the companyβs Libya operations are presented under the working-interest basis, which is required for presentation purposes in the companyβs financial statements. Under the working-interest basis, revenue includes a gross-up amount with offsetting amounts presented in royalties in the E&P segment and income tax expense reported at the total consolidated level.
β
(6)
Reflects adjustments for general and administrative costs not directly attributed to production.
β
(7)
Reflects adjustments for intersegment marketing fees.
β
(8)
Refining production is the output of the refining process and differs from crude oil processed as a result of volumetric adjustment for non-crude feedstock, volumetric gain associated with the refining process and changes in unfinished product inventories.

The custom 5-2-2-1 index is designed to represent Suncorβs Refining and Marketing business based on publicly available pricing data and approximates the gross margin on five barrels of crude oil of varying grades that is refined to produce two barrels of both gasoline and distillate and one barrel of secondary product. The index is a single value that is calculated by taking the product value of refined products less the crude value of refinery feedstock incorporating the companyβs refining, product supply and rack forward businesses, but excluding the impact of first-in, first-out accounting. The product value is influenced by New York Harbor 2-1-1 crack, Chicago 2-1-1 crack, WTI benchmarks and seasonal factors. The seasonal factor is an estimate and reflects the location, quality and grade differentials for refined products sold in the companyβs core markets during the winter and summerΒ months. The crude value is influenced by SYN, WCS and WTI benchmarks.

Explanatory Notes
*
Users are cautioned that the Oil Sands operations, Fort Hills and Syncrude cash operating costs per barrel measures may not be fully comparable to one another or to similar information calculated by other entities due to the differing operations of each entity as well as other entitiesβ respective accounting policy choices.
