NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023

(Unaudited -Expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts)

1. Nature and Operations

Decisive Dividend Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act on October 2, 2012 and is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, trading under the symbol "DE". The address of the Company's head office is #260 - 1855 Kirschner Road, Kelowna, B.C. V1Y 4N7.

Decisive Dividend Corporation is an acquisition-oriented company, focused on opportunities in manufacturing. The Company's purpose is to be the sought-out choice for exiting legacy-minded business owners, while supporting the long-term success of the businesses acquired, and through that, creating sustainable and growing shareholder returns. The Company uses a disciplined acquisition strategy to identify already profitable, well-established, high quality manufacturing companies that have a sustainable competitive advantage, a focus on non-discretionary products, steady cash flows, growth potential and established, strong leadership.

The principal wholly-owned operating subsidiaries of the Company, as at March 31, 2024, are managed through two reportable segments and were acquired as follows:

Finished Product Segment

  • Valley Comfort Systems Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Blaze King Industries Inc. ("Blaze King USA"), collectively referred to herein as "Blaze King"; acquired in February 2015.
  • Slimline Manufacturing Ltd. ("Slimline"); acquired in May 2018.
  • Marketing Impact Limited ("Marketing Impact"); acquired in April 2022.
  • ACR Heat Products Limited ("ACR"); acquired in October 2022.
  • Capital I Industries Inc. and its sister company, Irving Machine Inc. (together, "Capital I"); acquired in April 2023.
  • Innovative Heating Technologies Inc. ("IHT"); acquired in July 2023.

Component Manufacturing Segment

  • Unicast Inc. ("Unicast"); acquired in June 2016.
  • Hawk Machine Works Ltd. ("Hawk"); acquired in June 2018.
  • Northside Industries Inc. ("Northside"); acquired in August 2019.
  • Micon Industries Ltd. ("Micon"); acquired in April 2023.
  • Procore International Radiators Ltd. ("Procore"); acquired in April 2023.

These consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries, collectively referred to as the "Group". The consolidated financial statements include the results of acquired subsidiaries from their dates of acquisition.

Subsequent to March 31, 2024, and before these financial statements were authorized, the Company acquired Techbelt Limited ("Techbelt"). These financial statements do not include any assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses or cash flows related to Techbelt or its acquisition. Further details of this acquisition are included in note 4.

FIRST QUARTER 2024

DECISIVE DIVIDEND CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Group's interim results are impacted by seasonality factors primarily driven by weather patterns, including the impact thereof on heating, planting and harvesting seasons, as well as the timing of ground freeze and thaw in Western Canada and the effect thereof on the oil and gas industry, including the cost of energy. Blaze King and ACR's businesses historically experience lower demand in the first and second quarters of the calendar year, Slimline's business historically experiences lower demand in the third and fourth quarters and Hawk's business historically experiences lower demand in the second quarter. Seasonality does not have a significant impact on the businesses of the Company's other subsidiaries. In each subsidiary, there are substantial fixed costs that do not meaningfully fluctuate with product demand in the short-term.

2. Basis of Preparation and Statement of Compliance

  1. Statement of compliance
    These interim condensed consolidated financial statements (the "financial statements") for the period ended March 31, 2024 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS Accounting Standards") applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting.
    These financial statements were approved by the Audit Committee of the Company for issue on May 8, 2024.
  2. Judgments, accounting estimates and assumptions
    The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period.
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards requires management to make estimates based on assumptions about future events that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
    Actual results could differ from those estimates.
    There were no changes to the Group's critical accounting estimates and judgments from those described in the most recent annual financial statements.

3. Material Accounting Policies

The material accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of these financial statements are the same as those disclosed in Note 3 to the Company's 2023 audited consolidated financial statements.

During Q1 2024 the Company adopted the amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements covering non-current liabilities with covenants, which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. The amendments clarify that covenants of loan arrangements which an entity must comply with only after the reporting date do not affect classification of a liability at the reporting date. Covenants that an entity is required to comply with on or before the reporting date do affect the classification as current or non-current, even if the covenant is only assessed after the reporting date. The amendments also introduce new disclosure requirements for non-current liabilities with covenants. The adoption of these amendments did not impact the Company's presentation or disclosures.

In 2024, the Company completed two acquisitions as described below. The assets of Alberta Production Machining Ltd. ("APM") were acquired on March 14, 2024. Techbelt was acquired subsequent to March 31, 2024, and before these financial statements were authorized, on April 10, 2024. The consideration paid on these acquisitions is as follows:

The initial accounting for the acquisition of Techbelt is not complete and is pending the determination of the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price, to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition of APM is as follows:

Subsequent adjustments to the purchase price allocation, if any, can be recognized if they occur within twelve months of the acquisition date. After twelve months, adjustments are recognized through profit or loss. The adjustments made as a result of finalizing the provisional accounting are retrospectively recognized from the acquisition date. In Q1 2024, the Company incurred acquisition-related costs of $75 relating to legal fees, accounting fees, and due diligence costs. These costs are included in professional fees in the consolidated statement of profit and comprehensive income.

a) APM

On March 14, 2024, the Company acquired, through Hawk, all of the assets of APM. The assets of APM are operated out of a leased facility in Edmonton, Alberta, and provides Hawk with increased machining capabilities and access to additional equipment and people to service the demand from its growing customer base.

The APM asset purchase agreement contains negotiated representations, warranties, indemnities and closing conditions. The purchase price (which is subject to customary post-closing adjustments) was settled in cash funded through the Company's syndicated credit facility (Note 6).

b) Techbelt

Subsequent to March 31, 2024, and before these financial statements were authorized, on April 10, 2024, the Company acquired all of the shares of Techbelt. Techbelt, which is located in Huddersfield in the United Kingdom, is a manufacturer of polytetrafluoroethylene ("PTFE") conveyor belts, PTFE tapes, and PTFE materials which are used in a wide range of end markets including food and beverage, packaging, textiles, agriculture, and fast-moving consumer goods.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The cash portion of the consideration was initially funded through the Company's syndicated credit facility (Note 6). The share portion of the consideration was funded through the issuance of 57,879 common shares to the vendors of Techbelt (Note 7).

5. Lease Obligations

The Group's right of use assets and associated lease obligations are related to lease commitments for office and shop premises.

In March 2024, the Company entered into a syndicated credit facility providing for a committed $100,000 senior secured revolving term loan and a $75,000 accordion, which the Company can request as an increase, in whole or in part, to the total amount available under the syndicated credit facility. The syndicate lenders include National Bank of Canada, CWB Maxium Financial (a wholly owned division of Canadian Western Bank), Royal Bank of Canada and Fédération des caisses Desjardins du Québec, with National Bank of Canada acting as administrative agent on behalf of the syndicate.

DECISIVE DIVIDEND CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The syndicated credit facility replaced the credit agreement the Company had in place with Canadian Western Bank, the details of which are outlined in the table above. The syndicated credit facility consists of a single senior secured revolving term loan, compared to the three separate loan tranches outlined under previous credit agreement in the table above. There are no required principal payments for the committed three-year term of the syndicated credit facility, which also provides for annual extension provisions, and all drawn amounts will mature in March 2027.

Borrowings under the syndicated credit facility may be made by way of Canadian prime rate, U.S. base rate, CORRA or SOFR advances. The syndicated credit facility bears interest at the Canadian prime rate or U.S. base rate plus 0.75% to 2.25%, or at the Canadian overnight repo rate average ("CORRA") or the U.S. Federal reserve secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR") plus 2.00% to 3.50%. These interest rate ranges are dependent on certain financial ratios of the Company. In addition, standby fees ranging from 0.40% to 0.70% per annum are paid quarterly on the unused portion of the syndicated credit facility depending on certain financial ratios of the Company. There are no fees paid on the accordion until amounts are made available.

The syndicated credit facility is secured by a general security agreement, assignment of insurance, and unlimited corporate cross guarantees. Additionally, the Group has agreed to maintain the following ratios (as defined in the credit agreement) on a consolidated trailing twelve-month basis, otherwise outstanding facilities are due on demand:

  • Maximum total debt to adjusted EBITDA of 3.25:1
  • Minimum interest coverage ratio of 1.50:1

As at March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with these ratios.

As at March 31, 2024, principal payments required over the next four years on the Company's long-term debt were estimated as follows:
