NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(Tabular amounts are stated in thousands of Canadian dollars except share numbers and per share amounts)

 

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Precision Drilling Corporation (Precision or the Corporation) is incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada and is a provider of contract drilling and completion and production services primarily to oil and natural gas and geothermal exploration and production companies in Canada, the United States and certain international locations.

 

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

(a) Statement of Compliance

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated annual financial statements of the Corporation as at and for the year ended December 31, 2025.

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared using accounting policies and application methods consistent with those used in the preparation of the Corporation’s consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, except as described in Note 2(c).

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on October 27, 2026.

 

(b) Use of Estimates and Judgements

 

The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgements that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingencies. These estimates and judgements are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimation of anticipated future events involves uncertainty and, consequently, the estimates used in preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements may change as future events unfold, more experience is acquired, or the Corporation’s operating environment changes.

 

Significant estimates and judgements used in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements remained unchanged from those disclosed in the Corporation’s consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

 

The impacts of geopolitical events, such as the imposed tariffs between Canada and the U.S., regional conflicts, especially in oil producing areas, can materially impact energy markets, interest and inflation rates, and supply chains, resulting in higher levels of volatility and uncertainty. Ongoing U.S. military operations involving Iran and the resulting conflict in the Middle East have impacted global oil supply and increased volatility in global oil prices. Management has, to the extent reasonable, incorporated known facts and circumstances into the estimates made, however, actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be material.

 

(c) Change in Accounting Policy

 

Effective January 1, 2026, the Corporation has prospectively adopted Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments, as issued May 2024. The amendments relate to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. The amendments clarify the timing of recognition and derecognition of financial assets and liabilities. The amendments require opening balances of financial assets, financial liabilities, and retained earnings be adjusted to recognize the effect of the initial application if retrospective application is not selected. The initial application did not result in a material impact to the financial statements. The Corporation has applied the election related to electronic payment systems.

 

(d) Accounting Standards and Amendments not yet Effective

 

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements will replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027.

 

  5

 

 

Precision has substantially completed its assessment of IFRS 18 and is finalizing the related implementation, processes and controls. IFRS 18 is expected to change the presentation and disclosure of the Corporation’s financial performance but is not expected to change the recognition or measurement of transactions or the Corporation’s net earnings.

 

Precision will classify all income and expenses into five categories in the consolidated statement of net earnings, namely the operating, investing, financing, discontinued operations and income tax categories. Precision expects to continue presenting operating expenses using a combination of function and nature. Where required under IFRS 18, additional disclosures will be provided in the notes to the financial statements for specified expenses by nature included within operating expense line items presented by function. Foreign exchange gains and losses will generally be classified in the same category as the income or expenses arising from the underlying items. Within the consolidated statement of net earnings, the newly defined subtotals of operating profit and profit before financing and income taxes will be presented. Net earnings are not expected to change.

 

IFRS 18 also amends the consolidated statement of cash flows. The Corporation expects to use operating profit as the starting point for presenting operating cash flows under the indirect method. Specific cash flows will be moved between the operating, investing and financing categories, as required under the new standard.

 

Certain financial statement captions within the consolidated statement of financial position and the notes to the financial statements will be further aggregated or disaggregated to reflect the requirements of IFRS 18 and labels of ‘other’ will be more accurately defined or balances will be disaggregated.

 

Precision expects some metrics to meet the definition of management-defined performance measures and, accordingly, to provide the required explanations and reconciliation in a single note to the financial statements.

 

The standard will be applied retrospectively and requires comparative information to be restated. The Corporation is finalizing the detailed presentation, comparative information and disclosures that will be included in its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

 

NOTE 3. Revenue

 

(a)Disaggregation of revenue

 

The following table includes a reconciliation of disaggregated revenue by reportable segment. Revenue has been disaggregated by primary geographical market and type of service provided.

Precision has operations that are carried on in Canada which represent approximately 59% (2025 – 60%) of consolidated revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 44% (2025 – 43%) of consolidated total assets as at September 30, 2026. The ability to move heavy equipment in Canadian oil and natural gas fields is dependent on weather conditions. As warm weather returns in the spring, the winter's frost comes out of the ground rendering many secondary roads incapable of supporting the weight of heavy equipment until they have thoroughly dried out. The duration of this “spring break-up” has a direct impact on Precision’s activity levels. In addition, many exploration and production areas in northern Canada are accessible only in winter months when the ground is frozen hard enough to support equipment. The timing of freeze up and spring break-up affects the ability to move equipment in and out of these areas. As a result, late March through May is traditionally Precision’s slowest time in this region.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, 105,192 DSUs (2025 – nil) and all outstanding PSUs (2025 – nil) and RSUs (2025 – nil) were excluded from the calculation as their effect was anti-dilutive

 

NOTE 10. CAPITAL COMMITMENTS

 

At September 30, 2026, Precision had commitments to purchase property, plant and equipment totaling $143 million (2025 – $165 million) with payments expected through 2028.

 

NOTE 11. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity of the instruments. At the end of each reporting period, investments and other assets are measured at their estimated fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. Amounts drawn on the Senior Credit Facility, measured at amortized cost, approximate fair value as this indebtedness is subject to floating rates of interest and the interest rate swap is classified as a derivative fair valued through profit or loss. The fair value of the unsecured senior notes at September 30, 2026 was approximately $569 million (December 31, 2025 – $555 million).

 

Financial assets and liabilities recorded or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position are categorized based upon the level of judgement associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels are based on the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs in the fair value determination and are as follows:

 

Level I—Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

 

Level II—Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level I) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.

 

Level III—Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.

 

The estimated fair value of unsecured senior notes and interest rate swap is based on Level II inputs. The fair value is estimated considering the risk-free interest rates on government debt instruments of similar maturities, adjusted for estimated credit risk, industry risk and market risk premiums.

 

NOTE 12. CONTINGENCIES

 

The business and operations of the Corporation are complex and the Corporation has executed a number of significant financings, business combinations, acquisitions and dispositions over the course of its history. The computation of income taxes payable as a result of these transactions involves many complex factors as well as the Corporation's interpretation of relevant tax legislation and regulations. The Corporation's management believes that the provision for income tax is adequate and in accordance with IFRS and applicable legislation and regulations. However, there are tax filing positions that have been and can still be the subject of review by taxation authorities who may successfully challenge the Corporation's interpretation of the applicable tax legislation and regulations, with the result that additional taxes could be payable by the Corporation.

 

In the 2018 to 2023 tax years, Precision deducted certain intercompany dividends received in connection with a preferred share financing. In late July 2026, Precision received a Notice of Reassessment (NOR) from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) relating to its 2018 tax year, denying the deduction of such intercompany dividends. In addition to the 2018 NOR, Precision received a proposal from the CRA for the 2019 to 2022 tax years on the same basis, but no reassessments have been received at this time.

 

  13

 

 

Precision will file a Notice of Objection to the 2018 NOR and intends to vigorously contest the 2018 NOR as well as any additional reassessments that may be issued by the CRA in respect of the intercompany dividends received. The Corporation and its tax advisors reaffirm that the Corporation's tax filing position is appropriate. As such, Precision has not recognized a liability in its unaudited interim consolidated financial statements with respect to the reassessment.

 

Due to existing tax pools, the CRA's reassessment of the 2018 tax year and anticipated reassessments of the 2019 to 2023 tax years are not expected to impact taxes payable until the 2024 to 2027 tax years. Additional notices of reassessment for subsequent tax years are expected to be issued over the next 24 months. If it is ultimately determined that the Corporation is not entitled to deduct the intercompany dividends, we estimate a maximum tax liability of approximately $155 million, excluding interest.

 

Once reassessments are issued, Precision will be required to pay 50% of the assessed tax liability and interest, until the issue has been resolved. If Precision is ultimately successful in defending its position, then any taxes and interest paid to the CRA will be refunded plus interest, and if the CRA is successful then any remaining taxes and interest payable will have to be remitted by Precision.
