  • Parkland Fuel Corporation Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended December 31, 2018 Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
    Parkland Fuel Corporation Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended December 31, 2018 Management's responsibility for the consolidated financial statements The consolidated financial statements and the notes to the consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the management of Parkland Fuel Corporation. They have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, which have been adopted in Canada. Financial information that is presented in the Management's Discussion and Analysis is consistent with the consolidated financial statements. In preparation of these consolidated financial statements, estimates are sometimes necessary because a precise determination of certain assets and liabilities is dependent on future events. Management believes such estimates have been based on careful judgments and are properly reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Management is responsible for the reliability and integrity of the consolidated financial statements, the notes to the consolidated financial statements and other financial information contained in this report. In order to ensure that management fulfils its responsibilities for financial reporting, we have established an organizational structure that provides appropriate delegation of authority, division of responsibilities, and selection and training of properly qualified personnel. Management is also responsible for the development of internal controls over the financial reporting process. The Board of Directors (the "Board") is assisted in exercising its responsibilities by the audit committee (the "Committee") of the Board. The Committee meets regularly with management and the independent auditors to satisfy itself that management's responsibilities are properly discharged, to review the consolidated financial statements and to recommend approval of the consolidated financial statements to the Board.

  • Information Circular & Proxy Statement
    2020 ANNUAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS: INFORMATION CIRCULAR & PROXY STATEMENT MAY 7, 2020 A RESILIENT PLATFORM CHAIRMAN’S LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS Dear Fellow Shareholders, I write this letter with a sense of pride about Parkland’s track record of performance and leading shareholder returns. Under Bob Espey’s leadership, Parkland has become a geographically diverse, integrated business, designed to capture value across its entire supply chain. While the current COVID19 pandemic that is affecting the global economy will also impact our business, our resilient platform will provide growth and value creation well into the future. As Chairman of the Board, my focus is ensuring Parkland delivers long-term shareholder value. In parallel, the Board and I hold management accountable for the development and successful execution of its strategy. I am pleased to report that in 2019, Management advanced its growth strategy and delivered record results, which translated into industry leading returns for our shareholders. Underpinned by its deeply embedded entrepreneurial spirit and agile culture, Parkland’s performance was supported by many notable accomplishments. The company successfully acquired and integrated four businesses, including a major international expansion through the purchase of 75% of the shares of Sol Investments Limited; the Caribbean’s largest independent fuel marketer. Parkland continued to invest in organic growth initiatives across the business and demonstrated that its focus on supply continues to deliver exceptional value. The Board and Management are acutely aware of the role Parkland must play in providing the fuels our customers rely on, while at the same time, contributing to the transition toward a lower carbon future.
