'We were pleased with our 2015 results, which demonstrated consistent and resilient performance. Earnings increased 9%, in-line with total revenue growth as an increasing contribution from product support, offset margin pressures in today's challenging markets. We are also pleased with performance in the fourth quarter against a very tough comparator last year,' said Scott J. Medhurst, President and Chief Executive Officer of Toromont Industries Ltd. 'The Equipment Group delivered good results on growth in product support and CIMCO had a strong year with increased penetration into the US market.'

Considering the Company's solid financial position, cash flows and balances, and positive long- term outlook, the Board of Directors today increased the quarterly dividend to 18 cents per share, representing a 6% increase. The next dividend is payable April 1, 2016 to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 10, 2016. The Company has paid dividends every year since going public in 1968 and this represents the 27th consecutive year of increases.

Highlights:




--  Net earnings for 2015 were $145.7 million ($1.88 EPS) up 9% from last

    year, reflecting higher revenues in both operating groups. The increase

    was principally due to higher revenues from product support, together

    with lower expenses relative to revenues, offset by lower gross margins

    stemming from competitive pressures and challenging end markets.

--  Net earnings for the fourth quarter were $44.4 million ($0.57 EPS), down

    3% from the record reported in the same quarter last year. Pricing

    pressures continued to grow through the year in part exacerbated by the

    weakened Canadian dollar. This coupled with reduced utilization of the

    larger rental fleet resulted in reduced overall margins.

--  Equipment Group revenues increased 8% in the year to $1.6 billion.

    Product support growth was strong and equipment sales and rentals also

    increased with good activity levels in construction markets. The

    addition of the two agriculture dealerships to Toromont late in 2014

    also contributed to revenue growth in a market which saw significant

    weakness in 2015. The weakened Canadian dollar also contributed to

    revenue growth as reflecting the higher cost of US sourced equipment and

    parts. Operating income(1)as a percentage of revenues was 12.1%, on

    lower relative expense levels partially offset by lower margins.

--  Equipment Group revenues of $406.0 million were relatively unchanged in

    the fourth quarter versus the same period of 2014 with strong product

    support growth offsetting lower total equipment sales and rentals.

    Operating income of $56.3 million was 2% lower compared to last year on

    lower margins.

--  Equipment Group bookings(1)in 2015 of $779.0 million were up 3% from

    last year's record. Fourth quarter bookings of $165.0 million were 18%

    lower than last year on softened market conditions. Backlogs(1)were

    $92.0 million at the end of 2015 compared to $102.0 million at this time

    last year. The reduced ordering activity combined with shortened

    delivery windows at Caterpillar and available equipment in inventory,

    have contributed to reduced backlogs. Most of this backlog is expected

    to be delivered in 2016.

--  CIMCO reported record revenues of $232.7 million for the year, up 10%

    from 2014 on good product support and package sales growth in both the

    US and Canada. Operating income of $14.9 million was the second highest

    ever, increasing 23% over last year on higher revenues and improved

    margins, partially offset by a higher relative expense level.

--  CIMCO also reported record revenues for the fourth quarter on growth in

    the US both on product support and package sales. Canada realized growth

    in product support, however package sales were lower. Fourth quarter

    operating income increased 16% versus a year ago due to the higher

    revenues and good project execution.

--  CIMCO bookings increased 22% to $139.0 million for the year and

    represented the second highest level over the last five years. Fourth

    quarter bookings were up 20% to $36.0 million on higher US activity.

    Backlogs were $88.0 million at December 31, 2015, up 31% from 2014,

    substantially all of which are expected to revenue in 2016.

--  The Company continued to produce superior shareholder returns,

    delivering increased dividends, a 21.6% return on opening shareholders'

    equity(1)and a 24.3% pre-tax return on capital employed (1).

--  The Company maintained a strong financial position. Total debt, net of

    cash, to total capitalization(1)at December 31, 2015 was 10%, well

    within stated capital targets.



'In the Equipment Group, the potential for increased infrastructure spending bodes well for prospects while tight conditions in mining and weak agriculture markets are expected to continue. In the near-term, the weakened Canadian dollar may impact customers' spending power, timing of purchasing decisions and otherwise exert pressures on equipment margins. At CIMCO, activity levels are encouraging in both the US and Canada,' continued Mr. Medhurst. 'Across all of our businesses, diversity, expanding product offering and capabilities and a disciplined operating culture remain our strengths, and position us well entering 2016.'

CORPORATE PROFILE AND BUSINESS SEGMENTATION

As at December 31, 2015, Toromont employed over 3,500 people in more than 100 locations across Canada and the United States. Toromont is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol TIH.

Toromont has two reportable operating segments: the Equipment Group and CIMCO.

The Equipment Group is comprised of Toromont CAT, one of the world's larger Caterpillar dealerships, Battlefield - The CAT Rental Store, an industry-leading rental operation, and AgWest, an agricultural equipment and solutions dealer representing AGCO, CLAAS and other manufacturers' products. Performance in the Equipment Group is driven by activity in several industries: road building and other infrastructure-related activities; mining; residential and commercial construction; power generation; aggregates; waste management; steel; forestry; and agriculture. Significant activities include the sale, rental and service of mobile equipment for Caterpillar and other manufacturers; sale, rental and service of engines used in a variety of applications including industrial, commercial, marine, on-highway trucks and power generation; and sale of complementary and related products, parts and service. Territories include Ontario, Manitoba, Newfoundland and most of Labrador and Nunavut.

CIMCO is a market leader in the design, engineering, fabrication, installation and after-sale support of refrigeration systems in industrial and recreational markets. Results of CIMCO are influenced by conditions in the primary market segments served: beverage and food processing; cold storage; food distribution; mining; and recreational ice surfaces. CIMCO offers systems designed to optimize energy usage through proprietary products such as ECO CHILL(R). CIMCO has manufacturing facilities in Canada and the United States and sells its solutions globally.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE AND MAJOR STRATEGIES

The primary objective of the Company is to build shareholder value through sustainable and profitable growth, supported by a strong financial foundation. To guide its activities in pursuit of this objective, Toromont works toward specific, long-term financial goals (see section heading 'Key Performance Measures' in this MD&A) and each of its operating groups consistently employs the following broad strategies:

Expand Markets

Toromont serves diverse markets that offer significant long-term potential for profitable expansion. Each operating group strives to achieve or maintain leading positions in markets served. Incremental revenues are derived from improved coverage, market share gains and geographic expansion. Expansion of the installed base of equipment provides the foundation for product support growth and leverages the fixed costs associated with the Company's infrastructure.

Strengthen Product Support

Toromont's parts and service business is a significant contributor to overall profitability and serves to stabilize results through economic downturns. Product support activities also represent opportunities to develop closer relationships with customers and differentiate the Company's product and service offering. The ability to consistently meet or exceed customers' expectations for service efficiency and quality is critical, as after-market support is an integral part of the customer's decision-making process when purchasing equipment.

Broaden Product Offerings

Toromont delivers specialized capital equipment to a diverse range of customers and industries. Collectively, hundreds of thousands of different parts are offered through the Company's distribution channels. The Company expands its customer base through selectively extending product lines and capabilities. In support of this strategy, Toromont represents product lines that are considered leading and generally best-in-class from suppliers and business partners who continually expand and develop their offerings. Strong relationships with suppliers and business partners are critical in achieving growth objectives.

Invest in Resources

The combined knowledge and experience of Toromont's people is a key competitive advantage. Growth is dependent on attracting, retaining and developing employees with values that are consistent with Toromont's. A highly principled culture, share ownership and profitability based incentive programs result in a close alignment of employee and shareholder interests. By investing in employee training and development, the capabilities and productivity of employees continually improve to better serve shareholders, customers and business partners.

Toromont's information technology represents another competitive differentiator in the marketplace. The Company's selective investments in technology, inclusive of e-commerce initiatives, strengthen customer service capabilities, generate new opportunities for growth, drive efficiency and increase returns to shareholders.

Maintain a Strong Financial Position

A strong, well-capitalized balance sheet creates stability and financial flexibility, and has contributed to the Company's long-term track record of profitable growth. It is also fundamental to the Company's future success.

Growth in both the Equipment Group (up 8%) and CIMCO (up 10%) contributed to the $141.8 million or 9% increase in revenues over last year. Strong product support growth in both Groups accounts for 69% of the total increase year-over-year. The Equipment Group continues to benefit from the increased installed base of equipment in the field and good activity levels. CIMCO benefitted from continued strong performance in Canada with contributions from growing US product support. Equipment Group equipment sales increased 5% while CIMCO package sales were up 7%.

Gross profit margin was slightly lower than last year, down 0.10 percentage point to 24.7%. A favorable sales mix of product support to total revenues partially offset generally lower gross margins. Market conditions continue to be challenged by the heightened competitive environment, global economic conditions and the weakened Canadian dollar.

Selling and administrative expenses increased at a lower rate than revenues. The increase was mainly attributable to higher compensation costs up ($6.8 million) on annual salary increases, additional personnel and increased incentive compensation on the higher income; increased costs associated with the expanded agricultural business (up $4.2 million); and an unfavorable foreign exchange impact on translation of US operations ($1.3 million). Certain other expense categories such as occupancy, insurance, customer allowances and information technology, and travel costs were higher, reflecting increased business levels.

Interest expense increased on higher average debt balances in support of higher working capital held throughout the year. Additionally, the recent $150.0 million debenture offering was completed in advance of the maturity of the $125.0 million maturing debenture, resulting in incremental interest in the fourth quarter while the debentures overlapped.

Interest income decreased, reflecting lower conversions of rental purchase options.


The effective income tax rate for 2015 was 26.9% compared to 26.3% in 2014.

Net earnings in 2015 were $145.7 million and basic earnings per share ('EPS') were $1.88 per share, up 9% from 2014, tracking the increased revenues.

Comprehensive income in 2015 was $147.6 million (2014 - $129.0 million), comprised of net earnings of $145.7 million (2014 - $133.2 million) and other comprehensive income of $1.9 million (2014 - $4.2 million loss). Other comprehensive income included actuarial gains on employee pension plans of $0.6 million (2014 - $5.1 million loss), net of tax.

BUSINESS SEGMENT ANNUAL OPERATING RESULTS

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those of the consolidated entity. Management evaluates overall business segment performance based on revenue growth, operating income relative to revenues and return on capital employed. Corporate expenses are allocated based on each segment's revenue. Interest expense and interest and investment income are not allocated.

Equipment Group results improved on continued product support growth along with increased equipment sales and rental revenues.

The majority of new equipment and parts is sourced from the United States, which impacts the comparability of new equipment revenues year-over-year. A weaker Canadian dollar translates to increased unit prices and costs. While the value of the Canadian dollar was lower by 14% on average in 2015 versus a year ago, the specific impact is mitigated in the short-term by hedging practices and inventory on hand.

New equipment sales into construction markets were relatively flat versus a year ago, down $2.7 million or 1%. Sales of new agricultural equipment increased $4.7 million or 15%, benefitting from acquisitions last year, but limited by the very weak conditions seen in this market. New equipment sales to mining (up $6.0 million or 9%) and forestry customers (up $7.0 million or 74%) were up year-over-year.

Used equipment sales include used equipment purchased for resale, equipment received on trade-in, rent with purchase option ('RPO') returns and sales of Company-owned rental fleet units. Used equipment sales increased $6.1 million or 3% largely due to dispositions of agriculture equipment inventory and rental fleet, partially offset by lower sales into mining. Used equipment sales can vary substantially period-to-period on factors such as product availability (both new and used), customer demands and the general pricing environment.

Rental revenues increased $2.4 million or 1% on strong heavy equipment and power rentals. Heavy equipment rentals were up 7% on a larger fleet. Power rentals increased 13%, benefiting from good activity during the Toronto Pan-Am games and increased penetration of the entertainment market. Light equipment rentals were relatively unchanged year-over-year as a drop in activity related to renewable energy projects was offset by increased activity in other segments. The Company continues to invest in this very important and competitive light equipment rental market as evidenced by the opening of new rental branches in Goose Bay, NL (late 2014); and Brantford and North Bay, Ontario (2015). Revenue from equipment on rent with a purchase option ('RPO') was down 3% on lower mining activity.

Power generation revenues from Toromont-owned and managed plants decreased marginally over last year on lower electricity sales from the Waterloo Landfill site and Sudbury Downtown plant in addition to lower thermal revenue from the Sudbury Downtown and Sudbury Hospital plants.

Product support revenues increased $83.7 million or 18%, benefitting from the larger installed base of equipment in our territory and good activity levels for equipment in the field. Parts revenues increased 19% over 2014, benefitting in part from the weaker Canadian dollar. Parts revenues were up 7% on a constant dollar basis with substantial parts deliveries to mining (up 18%), construction (up 16%) and agriculture (up 118%) markets. Service revenues were up 15%, also with good increases from construction (up 10%), mining (up 11%) and agriculture (up 81%). Product support was further buoyed by increased rebuild activity in mining.

Equipment margins were 0.30 percentage points lower reflecting competitive market conditions together with planned dispositions of aged agricultural equipment at auctions. Rental margins were down 0.40 percentage points, reflecting the cost of the larger rental fleet that was not fully utilized during the year. A favorable sales mix of product support revenues to total improved gross margins by 0.50 percentage points. Product support revenues as a percentage of total revenues were 34.9% in 2015 compared to 32.0% in 2014.

Selling and administrative expenses increased $8.9 million or 5% compared to last year. The expanded agricultural business accounted for approximately $4.2 million or 47% of the increase. Compensation costs were higher (up $4.9 million) on annual increases, additional headcount to support growth and higher profit sharing accrual on the higher earnings. Bad debt expenses were $1.4 million lower mainly due to specific exposures identified in 2014 not repeated. Certain other expense categories increased relative to the higher sales activity. As a percentage of revenues, expenses were 0.40 percentage points lower than 2014 (12.8% vs. 13.2%).

Operating income increased 10% versus a year ago reflecting the higher revenues and lower relative expense levels, partially offset by the lower margins.

Capital expenditures in the Equipment Group were $42.7 million (40%) higher year-over-year, mainly on continued investment in rental assets. Replacement and expansion of the rental fleet accounted for $119.7 million of total investment in 2015. Expenditures of $11.5 million related to new and expanded facilities to meet current and future growth requirements. Other capital expenditures included $11.0 million for service and delivery vehicles, $3.9 million for machinery and equipment and $2.9 million for upgrades and enhancements to the information technology infrastructure.

Higher agriculture bookings account for approximately 65% of the increase year-over-year, benefitting from the acquisitions. Increased mining (up 13%) and relatively unchanged construction bookings (against a tough comparator) were partially offset by lower power systems activity (down 5%).

Backlogs decreased 10% from 2014 across all industries except agriculture (up 30%) and mining (up 5%). At December 31, 2015, the majority of the backlog related to construction (39%), power systems (30%), mining (20%) and agriculture (11%). Most of the backlog is expected to be delivered in 2016. Shortened delivery windows due to process improvements and increased capacity at Caterpillar, together with available equipment for construction orders from inventory, have contributed to reduced backlogs.

CIMCO reported record revenues for the year. Package sales increased after a slower year in 2014 and product support revenues continued to demonstrate solid growth in both Canada and the US. The Canadian dollar was weaker in 2015, accounting for approximately $6.0 million of the increase in revenues on the translation of the US operations split fairly evenly between package sales and product support revenues.

Package revenues reflect work performed using the percentage-of-completion method, which reflects timing of projects and construction schedules largely under our customers' control. In Canada, package revenues were $3.9 million or 4% higher than last year. Recreational activity was good, up $3.0 million or 11%, however, still somewhat below historical averages. Industrial activity was up $0.9 million or 1% over last year. In the US, package revenues increased $3.5 million or 17% ($0.3 million or 1% in US$) compared to 2014.

Product support revenues increased $13.7 million or 14% versus 2014. In Canada, revenues were up $5.3 million or 7% with good growth across all regions. In the US, revenues were up $8.4 million or 41% ($4.0 million or 22% in US$). Focus remains on continued expansion into US markets.

Gross margins improved 1.20 percentage points on higher package margins (up 1.60 percentage points) and a favorable sales mix of product support revenues to total (up 0.20 percentage points), partially offset by lower product support margins (down 0.60 percentage points). Package margins were up on improved execution, higher value added content of projects and lower warranty costs. Lower product support margins reflect the tight pricing environment in Canada and the US. Product support revenues were 48.6% as a percentage of total revenues in 2015 compared to 47.0% in 2014.

Selling and administrative expenses increased $4.6 million or 13% compared to last year mainly on the foreign exchange impact on translation of US operations (up $1.3 million), higher bad debt expenses (up $1.1 million), compensation costs (up $0.9 million), professional fees and insurance (up $0.6 million) and insurance proceeds received in 2014 ($0.7 million). As a percentage of revenues, expenses were 0.20 percentage points higher than 2014 (17.5% vs. 17.3%).

Operating income increased 23% compared to 2014, reflecting the higher revenues and improved margins, partially offset by the higher relative expense levels.

Capital expenditures decreased 29% to $1.0 million with the majority of expenditures in 2015 related to information technology infrastructure enhancements and upgrades ($0.3 million), buildings and leasehold improvements ($0.2 million) machinery and equipment ($0.2 million) and additional service vehicles ($0.2 million).

Bookings increased 22%. Recreational bookings were strong in both Canada (up 44%) and the US (up 223% in Cdn$, 179% in US$). Industrial bookings were down 5% as increases in Canada (up 5%) were more than offset by weaker activity in the US (down 58% in Cdn$, 63% in US$).

Backlogs increased 31%. Recreational backlogs were up 107% with increases in the US (up 239% in Cdn$, 193% in US$) and Canada (up 45%). Industrial backlogs were up 2% with increases in Canada (up 13%) partially offset by decreases in the US (down 46% in Cdn$, 53% in US$). Most of the backlog is expected to revenue in 2016.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company has maintained a strong financial position for many years. At December 31, 2015, the ratio of total debt, net of cash, to total capitalization was 10%.

Working Capital

The Company's investment in non-cash working capital was $421.3 million at December 31, 2015. The major components, along with the changes from December 31, 2014, are identified in the following table.

Accounts receivable increased $22.8 million or 9% compared to 2014 on the 1% increase in revenues in the fourth quarter and slower collections. Equipment Group accounts receivable increased $21.6 million or 11% while CIMCO accounts receivable increased $1.2 million or 3%. Days sales outstanding (DSO) was 45 at December 31, 2015 compared to 42 at the same time last year on increases in both the Equipment Group (up 3 days) and CIMCO (up 1 day).

Inventories increased $96.0 million (26%) to $463.2 million versus a year ago.




--  Equipment Group inventories were $91.5 million (26%) higher than this

    time last year with increases in equipment (up $71.9 million or 29%),

    parts (up $19.3 million or 22%) and service work-in-process (up $0.3

    million or 2%). The higher inventory levels were a result of the

    following factors:

    --  An expanded agriculture business with two acquisitions late in 2014,

        leading to a $14.1 million increase in inventories year-over-year,

        on weaker market conditions;

    --  The impact of the weaker Canadian dollar on equipment and parts

        inventories sourced from the US. This increased inventories by $22

        million;

    --  Certain inventory held in advance of customer-specified delivery

        dates later in the year; and

    --  Higher parts inventories required at remote mine sites (up $9.6

        million) to support higher activity levels and location specific

        shipping schedules.

--  CIMCO inventories were $4.5 million (37%) higher than this time last

    year mainly on increases in work-in-process on the timing of projects.



Accounts payable and accrued liabilities at December 31, 2015 increased $13.0 million or 6% from this time last year. The increase was primarily due to the timing of payments related to inventory purchases and related payments for other supplies, the impact of the weaker Canadian dollar on accounts payable to US based vendors as well as higher accruals for annual performance incentive bonuses on the higher net earnings.

Income taxes payable represents amounts owing for current corporate income taxes less installments made to date.

Higher dividends payable year over year reflect the higher dividend rate. In 2015, the quarterly dividend rate was increased from $0.15 per share to $0.17 per share, a 13% increase.

Deferred revenues represent billings to customers in excess of revenue recognized. In the Equipment Group, deferred revenues arise on sales of equipment with residual value guarantees, extended warranty contracts and other long-term customer support agreements as well as on progress billings on long-term construction contracts. Equipment Group deferred revenues were 43% higher in 2015 than in 2014. In CIMCO, deferred revenues arise on progress billings in advance of revenue recognition. CIMCO deferred revenues were 113% higher in 2015 than in 2014.

Goodwill and Intangibles

The Company performs impairment tests on its goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives on an annual basis or as warranted by events or circumstances. The assessment entails estimating the fair value of operations to which the goodwill and intangibles relate, using the present value of expected discounted future cash flows. This assessment affirmed goodwill and intangibles values as at December 31, 2015.

Employee Share Ownership

The Company employs a variety of stock-based compensation plans to align employees' interests with corporate objectives.

The Company maintains an Executive Stock Option Plan for its senior employees. Effective 2013, non-employee directors no longer receive grants under this plan. Stock options vest 20% per year on each anniversary date of the grant and are exercisable at the designated common share price, which is fixed at prevailing market prices of the common shares at the date the option is granted. Effective 2013, stock options granted have a ten year term while those granted prior to 2013 have a seven year term. At December 31, 2015, 2.5 million options to purchase common shares were outstanding, of which 1.0 million were exercisable.

The Company offers an Employee Share Ownership Plan whereby employees can purchase shares by way of payroll deductions. Under the terms of this plan, eligible employees may purchase common shares of the Company in the open market at the then current market price. The Company pays a portion of the purchase price, matching contributions at a rate of $1 dollar for every $3 dollars contributed, to a maximum of $1,000 per employee, per year. Effective January 1, 2016, the maximum contribution will increase to the greater of 2.5% of an employee's base salary or $1,000 per annum. Company contributions vest to the employee immediately. Company contributions amounting to $1.1 million in 2015 (2014 - $1.0 million) were charged to selling and administrative expense when paid. Approximately 48% (2014 - 48%) of employees participate in this plan. The Plan is administered by an independent third party.

The Company also offers a deferred share unit (DSU) plan for certain executives and non- employee directors, whereby they may elect, on an annual basis, to receive all or a portion of their performance incentive bonus or fees, respectively, in DSUs. Non-employee directors also receive DSUs as part of their compensation, aligning at-risk and cash compensation components. A DSU is a notional unit that reflects the market value of a single Toromont common share and generally vests immediately. DSUs will be redeemed on cessation of employment or directorship. DSUs have dividend equivalent rights, which are expensed as earned. The Company records the cost of the DSU Plan as compensation expense in selling and administrative expenses.

As at December 31, 2015, 377,311 DSUs were outstanding with a total value of $12.0 million (2014 - 334,709 units at a value of $9.5 million). The liability for DSUs is included in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and provisions on the consolidated statement of financial position.

Employee Future Benefits

Defined Contribution Plans

The Company sponsors pension arrangements for substantially all of its employees, primarily through defined contribution plans in Canada and a 401(k) matched savings plan in the United States. Certain unionized employees do not participate in Company-sponsored plans, and contributions are made to these retirement programs in accordance with the respective collective bargaining agreements. In the case of defined contribution plans, regular contributions are made to the individual employee accounts, which are administered by a plan trustee in accordance with the plan documents.

Defined Benefit Plans

The Company sponsors three defined benefit plans (Powell Plan, Executive Plan and Toromont Plan) for approximately 97 qualifying employees. The Powell and Toromont Plans are administered by a separate Fund that is legally separated from the Company and are described fully in note 18 to the consolidated financial statements.

The funded status of these plans changed by $0.3 million (an increase in the accrued pension liability) as at December 31, 2015.

The Executive Plan is a supplemental plan and is solely the obligation of the Company. All members of the plan are retired. The Company is not obligated to fund the plan but is obligated to pay benefits under the terms of the plan as they come due. The Company has posted letters of credit to secure the obligations under this plan, which were $18.0 million as at December 31, 2015. As there are no plan assets, there is no impact on pension expense and contributions.

The Company expects pension expense and cash pension contributions for 2016 to be similar to 2015 levels.

A key assumption in pension accounting is the discount rate. This rate is set with regard to the yield on high-quality corporate bonds of similar average duration to the cash flow liabilities of the Plans. Yields are volatile and can deviate significantly from period to period.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than the Company's operating leases, the Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on its results of operations or financial condition.

Legal and Other Contingencies

Due to the size, complexity and nature of the Company's operations, various legal matters are pending. Exposure to these claims is mitigated through levels of insurance coverage considered appropriate by management and by active management of these matters. In the opinion of management, none of these matters will have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Normal Course Issuer Bid

Toromont believes that, from time to time, the purchase of its common shares at prevailing market prices may be a worthwhile investment and in the best interests of both Toromont and its shareholders. As such, the normal course issuer bid with the TSX was renewed in 2015. This issuer bid allows the Company to purchase up to approximately 5.9 million of its common shares, representing 10% of common shares in the public float, in the year ending August 30, 2016. The actual number of shares purchased and the timing of any such purchases will be determined by Toromont. All shares purchased under the bid will be cancelled.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company purchased and cancelled 74,500 common shares for $2.2 million (average cost of $29.95, including transaction costs). No shares were purchased during the year ended December 31, 2014.

Outstanding Share Data

As at the date of this MD&A, the Company had 77,922,571 common shares and 2,490,420 share options outstanding.

Dividends

Toromont pays a quarterly dividend on its outstanding common shares and has historically targeted a dividend rate that approximates 30 - 40% of trailing earnings from continuing operations.

During 2015, the Company declared dividends of $0.68 per common share, $0.17 per quarter (2014 - $0.60 per common share or $0.15 per quarter).

Considering the Company's solid financial position, cash flows and balances, and positive long- term outlook, the Board of Directors announced it is increasing the quarterly dividend to 18 cents per share effective with the dividend payable on April 1, 2016. This represents a 6% increase in Toromont's regular quarterly cash dividend. The Company has paid dividends every year since going public in 1968 and this represents the 27th consecutive year it has announced an increase.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Sources of Liquidity

Toromont's liquidity requirements can be met through a variety of sources, including cash generated from operations, long- and short-term borrowings and the issuance of common shares. Borrowings are obtained through a variety of senior debentures, notes payable and committed long-term credit facilities.

Effective September 18, 2015, the Company amended and increased its existing $200.0 million committed credit facility to $250.0 million and extended the term of the agreement to September 7, 2020. Debt under the facility is unsecured and ranks pari passu with debt outstanding under Toromont's existing debentures. The facility includes covenants, restrictions and events of default typical for credit facilities of this nature.

As at December 31, 2015 and 2014, no amounts were drawn on the facility. Letters of credit utilized $21.9 million of the facility (2014 - $22.6 million).

On September 30, 2015, the Company issued senior unsecured debentures in an aggregate principal amount of $150.0 million (the 'Debentures'). The Debentures mature in 2025 and bear interest at a rate of 3.71% per annum, payable semi-annually. The Debentures are unsecured, unsubordinated and rank pari passu with other unsecured, unsubordinated debt. Toromont used the net proceeds to pay the principal and interest owing on the outstanding $125.0 million senior debentures which matured on October 13, 2015, and for general corporate purposes.

Cash at December 31, 2015 was $66.7 million, compared to $86.0 million at December 31, 2014.

The Company expects that continued cash flows from operations in 2016 and currently available credit facilities will be more than sufficient to fund requirements for investments in working capital and capital assets.

Principal Components of Cash Flow

Cash from operating, investing and financing activities, as reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, are summarized in the following table:

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Operating activities provided $113.9 million in 2015 compared to $143.5 million in 2014. Net earnings adjusted for items not requiring cash were 10% higher than last year on higher revenues. Non-cash working capital and other used $91.3 million compared to $42.6 million in 2014.

The components and changes in working capital are discussed in more detail in this MD&A under the heading 'Consolidated Financial Condition'.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Investing activities used $113.9 million in 2015 compared to $85.8 million in 2014.

Net rental fleet additions (purchases less proceeds of disposition) totalled $86.1 million in 2015 compared to $52.1 million in 2014. Investments in the rental fleet continued in light of stronger demand on improved market conditions, the existing fleet age profile and the continued expansion of our heavy and light equipment rental operations.

Investments in property, plant and equipment in 2015 totalled $30.4 million compared to $26.5 million in 2014. Additions in 2015 and 2014 were largely made within the Equipment Group and included $11.8 million for new and expanded branches (2014 - $10.7 million), $11.3 million for service vehicles (2014 - $8.3 million), $4.0 million for machinery and equipment (2014 - $3.7 million) and $3.2 million for IT equipment (2014 - $3.0 million).

No businesses were acquired during the year ended December 31, 2015. In 2014, $8.6 million was used for business acquisitions. Refer to note 24 to the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Financing activities used $19.6 million in 2015 compared to $42.7 million in 2014.

Significant sources and uses of cash in 2015 included:




--  Issuance of long-term senior debentures of $150.0 million;

--  Repayment of long-term senior debentures of $126.6 million;

--  Financing costs of $1.7 million associated with the issuance of long-

    term senior debentures and amendments to the credit facility;

--  Dividends paid to common shareholders of $51.2 million or $0.66 per

    share;

--  Cash received on exercise of share options of $12.1 million; and

--  Normal course purchase and cancellation of common shares of $2.2 million

    (74,500 shares at an average cost of $29.95, including transaction

    costs).



Significant sources and uses of cash in 2014 included:




--  Repayment of long-term senior debentures of $1.5 million;

--  Repayment of the loans assumed on business acquisitions of $3.0 million;

--  Dividends paid to common shareholders of $44.7 million or $0.58 per

    share; and

--  Cash received on exercise of share options of $6.4 million.



OUTLOOK

In the Equipment Group, the parts and service business has experienced significant growth driven by the larger installed base of equipment in the field, which provides a measure of stability. Service shops remain busy and the Company continues to hire technicians to address the increased demand. Broader product lines, investment in rental, the expanded agricultural businesses and developing product support technologies supporting remote diagnostics and telemetrics will also contribute to future growth.

The Federal government's commitment to significantly increase infrastructure spending bodes well for long-term prospects. Heightened competitive conditions, a tight pricing environment, stagnant economic growth and the weaker Canadian dollar are expected to continue to weigh on prospects in 2016. The Company continued to invest in growing its rental fleets and in increasing utilization rates.

While market conditions in mining remain challenging, mine production continues and opportunities for sales in support of new mine development, mine expansion and equipment replacement exist. With the substantially increased base of installed equipment, product support activity should continue to grow so long as mines remain active.

The newly formed AgWest business unit expands our reach into the important agricultural equipment market. Business integration efforts are largely complete. Sales coverage and operational processes will continue to be a focus in order to generate target returns over the longer-term. End markets are currently weak and are expected to dampen results in the near-term.

Activity at CIMCO reflects general economic activity, governmental investment levels and focus, as well as specific customer decisions and construction schedules. Recent booking activity and current backlog bodes well for future prospects. The product support business remains a focus for development and continued growth in this area is encouraging. CIMCO has a wide product offering using natural refrigerants including innovative CO2 solutions, which are expected to contribute to growth in the future replacement of CFC, HCFC and HFC refrigerants in both recreational and industrial applications. In addition, CIMCO is focused on its growth strategy in the US, which is a significant market opportunity.

The diversity of the businesses, expanding product offering and services, financial strength and disciplined operating culture positions the Company for continued growth in the long-term.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

Contractual obligations are set out in the following table. Management believes that these obligations will be met comfortably through cash generated from operations and existing long- term financing facilities.

Measuring Toromont's results against these strategies over the past five years illustrates that the Company has and continues to make significant progress.

Since 2011, revenues increased at an average annual rate of 8.4%. Product support revenue growth has averaged 11.6% annually. Revenue growth has been a result of:




--  Increased customer demand in certain market segments, most notably

    construction and mining;

--  Additional product offerings over the years from Caterpillar and other

    suppliers;

--  Organic growth through increased rental fleet size and additional

    branches;

--  Increased customer demand for formal product support agreements;

--  Governmental funding programs such as the RinC program which provided

    support for recreational spending; and

--  Acquisitions, primarily within the Equipment Group's rental operations

    and through business combinations.



Over the same five-year period, revenue growth has been constrained at times by a number of factors including:




--  General economic weakness and uncertainty in specific sectors;

--  Inability to source equipment from suppliers to meet customer demand or

    delivery schedules; and

--  Declines in underlying market conditions such as depressed US industrial

    markets.



Changes in the Canadian/U.S. exchange rate also affects reported revenues as the exchange rate impacts the purchase price of equipment that in turn is reflected in selling prices. Since 2011 there has been fluctuations in the average yearly exchange rate of Canadian dollar against the US dollar - 2011 - US$1.01, 2012 - on par, 2013 - US$0.97, 2014 - US$0.91 and 2015 - US$0.78.

Toromont has generated a significant competitive advantage over the past years by investing in its resources, in part to increase productivity levels, and we will continue this into the future as it is a crucial element to our success in the marketplace.

Toromont continues to maintain a strong balance sheet. Leverage, as represented by the ratio of total debt, net of cash, to total capitalization (net debt plus shareholders' equity), was 10%, well within targeted levels.

Toromont has paid dividends consistently since 1968 and has increased the dividend in each of the last 27 years. The regular quarterly dividend rate was increased 13% from $0.15 to $0.17 per share in 2015 and a further 6% to $0.18 per share in 2016, evidencing our commitment to delivering exceptional shareholder value.

Despite continuing challenges in the broader economy, revenues were higher in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to the same period last year. Both the Equipment Group and CIMCO benefitted from strong product support growth.

Gross profit decreased 3% in the quarter versus last year on lower margins in the Equipment Group. Competitive markets and the weakened Canadian dollar continued to dampen margins, exacerbated by underutilized rental fleet additions. CIMCO margins were relatively unchanged as higher package margins and a favorable sales mix of product support revenues to total were offset by lower product support margins. At CIMCO, the product support business continued its strong growth, increasing to 49.8% as a percentage of revenues compared to last year, up 5.10 percentage points.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased $3.5 million or 6% on the 1% increase in revenues. Expenses were $3.5 million lower than last year and 0.90 percentage points lower as a percentage of revenues (12.7% versus 13.6%). Bad debt expenses (down $1.7 million) professional fees (down $1.5 million) and lower mark-to-market adjustments on DSUs (down $0.9 million) contributed to this expense reduction, partially offset by higher compensation costs (up $0.3 million) and additional costs related to the expanded agricultural business (up $0.4 million). Certain other expense categories increased on the higher sales activity.

Interest expense was higher than in the similar period last year on higher debt balances resulting from the issuance of senior debentures during the fourth quarter.

Interest income was down from last year on reduced conversions of rental equipment with purchase options.

The effective income tax rate for 2015 was 26.7% compared to 26.2% in the same period last year and largely reflects the mix of income by tax jurisdiction.

Net earnings in the quarter were $44.4 million and basic EPS were $0.57 per share, compared to net earnings of $45.7 million and basic EPS of $0.59 in 2014, a decrease of 3%.

Equipment Group results were lower in the fourth quarter versus last year. Revenues were relatively unchanged from last year on growing product support activity, offset by lower equipment sales and rentals.

New equipment sales increased $3.2 million or 2% in the quarter compared to 2014. Lower construction (down $1.9 million or 2%) and mining deliveries (down $3.1 million or 20%) were more than offset by higher sales into forestry markets (up $3.2 million or 143%) and increased Power Systems revenues (up $5.2 million or 19%) on growth in prime and backup power projects.

Used equipment sales decreased in the quarter compared to the record fourth quarter last year. Mining (down $11.0 million or 69%) and forestry deliveries (down $2.2 million or 86%) led the drop. Agriculture used equipment sales were also lower (down $1.4 million or 34%) in light of the weaker end markets facing that sector. Growth in other markets compensated somewhat.

Rental revenues were $1.7 million or 3% lower compared to last year on lower light equipment rentals (down $1.5 million or 4%). Heavy equipment and power rentals were relatively unchanged despite the larger fleet. Rental rates were fairly consistent in both years with continuing competitive market conditions.

Product support revenues were up $12.3 million or 10% over 2014 with increases in both parts (up $10.7 million or 11%) and service (up $1.6 million or 5%). Activity was good across most markets.

Gross profit margins decreased 1.40 percentage points in the quarter. A favorable sales mix of product support revenues to total (up 0.80 percentage points) was partially offset by lower margins. Rental margins were 1.00 percentage points lower on lower market activity and underutilized new fleet additions. Equipment margins were 0.90 percentage points lower and have remained under pressure throughout the year on very competitive market conditions, exacerbated by the weakened Canadian dollar. Product support revenues as a percentage of total revenues were 33.9% in the fourth quarter compared to 31.0% in 2014.

Selling and administrative expenses were $4.4 million or 8% lower than the comparable quarter last year mainly due to lower bad debt expenses (down $1.4 million), warranty (down $0.6 million) and freight (down $0.6 million). The expanded agricultural business increased expenses by $0.4 million versus last year while certain other expense categories such as compensation costs, profit sharing, information technology expenses and occupancy costs were higher, reflective of the increase in revenues. As a percentage of revenues, expenses were 1.10 percentage points lower than 2014 (12.0% vs. 13.1%).

Operating income decreased 2% compared to last year on the lower margins partially offset by a lower expense ratio. Operating income as a percentage of revenues was 13.9% compared to 14.2% in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Bookings in the fourth quarter of 2015 were $165.0 million, down 18% from the similar period last year with decreases across all segments except agriculture (up 12%), benefitting from the broader product of the expanded business.

CIMCO reported record results for the fourth quarter on growth in the US. The weaker Canadian dollar accounted for approximately $2.0 million of the increase in revenues on the translation of the US operations split fairly evenly between package sales and product support revenues.

Package revenues were down 1% as higher activity in the US was more than offset by lower levels in Canada. US package revenues increased in both recreational (up 181% in Cdn$, 150% in US$) and industrial markets (up 23% in Cdn$, 4% in US$). Lower Canadian industrial revenues (down 30%) were partially offset by higher recreational revenues (up 18%). Strong industrial activity in Western Canadian industrial markets were more than offset by softer conditions in Eastern Canada.

Product support revenues increased in both the US and Canada. US product support, a focus for expansion, generated a 71% revenue increase (47% in US$).

Gross margins were relatively unchanged from last year as improved package margins (up 2.00 percentage points) and a favorable sales mix of product support revenues to total (up 0.40 percentage points) were offset by lower product support margins (down 2.40 percentage points). Product support revenues as a percentage of total revenues were 49.8% compared to 44.7% in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Selling and administrative expenses increased $0.8 million or 8%, mainly due to an unfavorable foreign exchange impact ($0.4 million), higher professional fees and insurance ($0.3 million), compensation costs ($0.3 million) and safety and training (up $0.3 million), partially offset by lower bad debt expenses (down $0.3 million). As a percentage of revenues, expenses were 0.10 percentage points lower than 2014 (16.9% vs. 17.0%).

Operating income increased 16% on the higher revenues and was 8.1% as a percentage of revenues compared to 7.6% in 2014.

Bookings in the quarter totalled $36.0 million, up 20% from the comparable period last year. US bookings were up 119% (72% in US$) while Canadian bookings were relatively unchanged.

Interim period revenues and earnings historically reflect significant variability from quarter to quarter.

The Equipment Group has historically had a distinct seasonal trend in activity levels. Lower revenues are recorded during the first quarter due to winter shutdowns in the construction industry. The fourth quarter had typically been the strongest due in part to the timing of customers' capital investment decisions, delivery of equipment from suppliers for customer- specific orders and conversions of equipment on rent with a purchase option. This pattern has been interrupted by the timing of significant sales to mining and other customers, which can be variable due to the timing of mine site development and access, and construction project schedules. We expect this historical seasonal trend to continue for non-mining related business.

CIMCO has also had a distinct seasonal trend in results historically, due to timing of construction activity. Lower revenues are recorded during the first quarter on slower construction schedules due to the weather. Revenues increase in subsequent quarters as construction schedules ramp up. This trend can and has been interrupted somewhat by significant governmental funding initiatives and significant industrial projects.

As a result of the historical seasonal sales trends, inventories increase through the year in order to meet the expected demand for delivery in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, while accounts receivable are highest at year end.

Revenues grew 9% in 2015, despite competitive market conditions and an uncertain economic environment, with strong performance in the Equipment Group and CIMCO. In 2014, revenues grew 4% through strong performance in the Equipment Group and continued product support growth at CIMCO.

Net earnings improved 9% in 2015 on higher revenues and a lower selling and administrative expense ratio partially offset by slightly lower margins. In 2014, net earnings improved 8% on higher revenues, generally improving margins and a relatively flat selling and administrative expenses ratio.

Earnings per share ('EPS') have generally followed earnings with basic EPS increasing 9% in 2015 and 8% in 2014.

Dividends have generally increased in proportion to trailing earnings growth. The quarterly dividend rate was increased in 2013 by 8% to $0.13 per share, in 2014 by 15% to $0.15 per share, in 2015 by 13% to $0.17 per share and 6% to $0.18 per share in 2016. The Company has announced dividend increases every year since 1968.

Total assets increased in 2015 by 15% and by 7% in 2014. The increase reflects growth in the Company's operations and supports the higher revenues and earnings. Inventories have increased significantly as described in the 'Working Capital' section of this MD&A. Continued investment in the rental fleet reflects strong demand and improved market conditions.

Long-term debt increased in 2015. The Company issued $150.0 million in long-term senior debentures during the year to replace $125.0 million of maturing debentures. The increases amount of debentures issued provides added flexibility for future investments in rental fleet, operational assets and business acquisitions. Total debt, net of cash, to total capitalization was 10% at December 31, 2015, well within targeted levels.

RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

In the normal course of business, Toromont is exposed to risks that may potentially impact its financial results in any or all of its business segments. The Company and each operating segment employ risk management strategies with a view to mitigating these risks on a cost- effective basis.

Business Cycle

Expenditures on capital goods have historically been cyclical, reflecting a variety of factors including interest rates, foreign exchange rates, consumer and business confidence, commodity prices, corporate profits, credit conditions and the availability of capital to finance purchases. Toromont's customers are typically affected, to varying degrees, by these factors and trends in the general business cycle within their respective markets. As a result, Toromont's financial performance is affected by the impact of such business cycles on the Company's customer base.

Commodities prices, and, in particular, changes in the view on long-term trends, affect demand for the Company's products and services in the Equipment Group. Commodity price movements in base and precious metals sectors in particular can have an impact on customers' demands for equipment and customer service. With lower commodity prices, demand is reduced as development of new projects is often stopped and existing projects can be curtailed, both leading to less demand for heavy equipment.

The business of the Company is diversified across a wide range of industry market segments, serving to temper the effects of business cycles on consolidated results. Continued diversification strategies such as expanding the Company's customer base, broadening product offerings and geographic diversification are designed to moderate business cycle impacts. The Company has focused on the sale of specialized equipment and ongoing support through parts distribution and skilled service. Product support growth has been, and will continue to be, fundamental to the mitigation of downturns in the business cycle. The product support business contributes significantly higher profit margins and is typically subject to less volatility than equipment supply activities.

Product and Supply

The Equipment Group purchases most of its equipment inventories and parts from Caterpillar under a dealership agreement that dates back to 1993. As is customary in distribution arrangements of this type, the agreement with Caterpillar can be terminated by either party upon 90 days' notice. In the event Caterpillar terminates, it must repurchase substantially all inventories of new equipment and parts at cost. Toromont has maintained an excellent relationship with Caterpillar for 23 years and management expects this will continue going forward.

Toromont is dependent on the continued market acceptance of Caterpillar's products. It is believed that Caterpillar has a solid reputation as a high-quality manufacturer, with excellent brand recognition and customer support as well as leading market shares in many of the markets it serves. However, there can be no assurance that Caterpillar will be able to maintain its reputation and market position in the future. Any resulting decrease in the demand for Caterpillar products could have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, results of operations and future prospects.

Toromont is also dependent on Caterpillar for timely supply of equipment and parts. From time to time during periods of intense demand, Caterpillar may find it necessary to allocate its supply of particular products among its dealers. Such allocations of supply have not, in the past, proven to be a significant impediment in the conduct of business. However, there can be no assurance that Caterpillar will continue to supply its products in the quantities and timeframes required by customers.

Competition

The Company competes with a large number of international, national, regional and local suppliers in each of its markets. Although price competition can be strong, there are a number of factors that have enhanced the Company's ability to compete throughout its market areas including: the range and quality of products and services; ability to meet sophisticated customer requirements; distribution capabilities including number and proximity of locations; financing offered by Caterpillar Finance; e-commerce solutions; reputation and financial strength.

Increased competitive pressures or the inability of the Company to maintain the factors that have enhanced its competitive position to date could adversely affect the Company's business, results of operations or financial condition.

The Company relies on the skills and availability of trained and experienced tradesmen and technicians in order to provide efficient and appropriate services to customers. Hiring and retaining such individuals is critical to the success of these businesses. Demographic trends are reducing the number of individuals entering the trades, making access to skilled individuals more difficult. The Company has several remote locations which make attracting and retaining skilled individuals more difficult.

Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash equivalents, accounts receivable and derivative financial instruments. The carrying amount of assets included on the balance sheet represents the maximum credit exposure.

When the Company has cash on hand it may be invested in short-term instruments, such as money market deposits. The Company manages its credit exposure associated with cash equivalents by ensuring there is no significant concentration of credit risk with a single counterparty, and by dealing only with highly rated financial institutions as counterparties.

The Company has accounts receivable from a large diversified customer base, and is not dependent on any single customer or industry. The Company has accounts receivable from customers engaged in various industries including construction, mining, food and beverage, and governmental agencies. Management does not believe that any single industry represents significant credit risk. These customers are based predominately in Canada.

The credit risk associated with derivative financial instruments arises from the possibility that the counterparties may default on their obligations. In order to minimize this risk, the Company enters into derivative transactions only with highly rated financial institutions.

Warranties and Maintenance Contracts

Warranties are provided for most of the equipment sold, typically for a one-year period following sale. The warranty claim risk is generally shared jointly with the equipment manufacturer.

Accordingly, liability is generally limited to the service component of the warranty claim, while the manufacturer is responsible for providing the required parts.

The Company also enters into long-term maintenance and repair contracts, whereby it is obligated to maintain equipment for its customers. The length of these contracts varies generally from two to five years. The contracts are typically fixed price on either machine hours or cost per hour, with provisions for inflationary and exchange adjustments. Due to the long-term nature of these contracts, there is a risk that maintenance costs may exceed the estimate, thereby resulting in a loss on the contract. These contracts are closely monitored for early warning signs of cost overruns. In addition, the manufacturer may, in certain circumstances, share in the cost overruns if profitability falls below a certain threshold.

Foreign Exchange

The Company transacts business in multiple currencies, the most significant of which are the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar. As a result, the Company has foreign currency exposure with respect to items denominated in foreign currencies.

The rate of exchange between the Canadian and U.S. dollar has an impact on revenue trends. The Canadian dollar averaged US$0.78 in 2015 compared to US$0.91 in 2014, a 14% decrease. As substantially all of the equipment and parts sold in the Equipment Group are sourced in U.S. dollars, and Canadian dollar sales prices generally reflect changes in the rate of exchange, a stronger Canadian dollar can adversely affect revenues. The impact is not readily estimable as it is largely dependent on when customers order the equipment versus when it was sold. Bookings in a given period would more closely follow period-over-period changes in exchange rates. Sales of parts come from inventories maintained to service customer requirements. As a result, constant parts replenishment means that there is a lagging impact of changes in exchange rates. In CIMCO, sales are largely affected by the same factors. In addition, revenues from CIMCO's US subsidiary reflect changes in exchange rates on the translation of results, although this is not significant.

Foreign exchange contracts reduce volatility by fixing landed costs related to specific customer orders and establishing a level of price stability for high-volume goods such as spare parts. The Company does not enter into foreign exchange forward contracts for speculative purposes. The gains and losses on the foreign exchange forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges are intended to offset the translation losses and gains on the hedged foreign currency transactions when they occur. As a result, the foreign exchange impact on earnings with respect to transactional activity is not significant.

Interest Rate

The Company minimizes its interest rate risk by managing its portfolio of floating and fixed rate debt, as well as managing the term to maturity.

At December 31, 2015, the Company's debt portfolio included $156.5 million in fixed rate debt (38%) and a $250.0 million floating rate credit facility (62%).

Fixed rate debt amortizes or matures between 2016 and 2025. Fixed rate debt exposes the Company to future interest rate movements upon refinancing the debt at maturity. Further, the fair value of the Company's fixed rate debt obligations may be negatively affected by declines in interest rates, thereby exposing the Company to potential losses on early settlements or refinancing.

Floating rate debt exposes the Company to fluctuations in short-term interest rates by causing related interest payments and finance expense to vary.

The Company does not intend to settle or refinance any existing debt before maturity.

Financing Arrangements

The Company requires capital to finance its growth and to refinance its outstanding debt obligations as they come due for repayment. If the cash generated from the Company's business, together with the credit available under existing bank facilities, is not sufficient to fund future capital requirements, the Company will require additional debt or equity financing in the capital markets. The Company's ability to access capital markets, on terms that are acceptable, will be dependent upon prevailing market conditions, as well as the Company's future financial condition. Further, the Company's ability to increase its debt financing may be limited by its financial covenants or its credit rating objectives. The Company maintains a conservative leverage structure and although it does not anticipate difficulties, there can be no assurance that capital will be available on suitable terms and conditions, or that borrowing costs and credit ratings will not be adversely affected.

Environmental Regulation

Toromont's customers are subject to significant and ever-increasing environmental legislation and regulation. This legislation can impact Toromont in two ways. First, it may increase the technical difficulty in meeting environmental requirements in product design, which could increase the cost of these businesses' products. Second, it may result in a reduction in activity by Toromont's customers in environmentally sensitive areas, in turn reducing the sales opportunities available to Toromont.

Toromont is also subject to a broad range of environmental laws and regulations. These may, in certain circumstances, impose strict liability for environmental contamination, which may render Toromont liable for remediation costs, natural resource damages and other damages as a result of conduct that was lawful at the time it occurred or the conduct of, or conditions caused by, prior owners, operators or other third parties. In addition, where contamination may be present, it is not uncommon for neighbouring land owners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury, property damage and recovery of response costs. Remediation costs and other damages arising as a result of environmental laws and regulations, and costs associated with new information, changes in existing environmental laws and regulations or the adoption of new environmental laws and regulations could be substantial and could negatively impact Toromont's business, results of operations or financial condition.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The Company's significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.

In making estimates and judgments, management relies on external information and observable conditions where possible, supplemented by internal analysis as required. Management reviews its estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis.

In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, estimates and assumptions which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The critical accounting policies and estimates described below affect the operating segments similarly, and therefore are not discussed on a segmented basis.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Depreciation is calculated based on the estimated useful lives of the assets and estimated residual values. Depreciation expense is sensitive to the estimated service lives and residual values determined for each type of asset. Actual lives and residual values may vary depending on a number of factors including technological innovation, product life cycles and physical condition of the asset, prospective use, and maintenance programs.

Impairment of Non-financial Assets

Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset, CGU or group of CGUs exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The fair value less costs of disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions, conducted at arm's length, for similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow ('DCF') model. The cash flows are derived from the budget for the next three years. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes. The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount for the different groups of CGUs, including a sensitivity analysis, are disclosed and further explained in Note 7 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes

Estimates and judgments are made for uncertainties which exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations, changes in tax laws, and the amount and timing of future taxable income.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenue from the assembly and manufacture of equipment using the percentage-of-completion method. This method requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions surrounding: the expected profitability of the contract; the estimated degree of completion based on cost progression; and other detailed factors. Although these factors are routinely reviewed as part of the project management process, changes in these estimates or assumptions could lead to changes in revenues recognized in a given period.

The Company also generates revenue from long-term maintenance and repair contracts whereby it is obligated to maintain equipment for its customers. The contracts are typically fixed price on either machine hours or cost per hour, with provisions for inflationary and exchange adjustments. Revenue is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method based on work completed. This method requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions surrounding: machine usage, machine performance, future parts and labour pricing, manufacturers' warranty coverage and other detailed factors. These factors are routinely reviewed as part of the contract management process; however, changes in these estimates or assumptions could lead to changes in the revenues and cost of goods sold recognized in a given period.

Inventories

Management is required to make an assessment of the net realizable value of inventory at each reporting period. These estimates are determined on the basis of age, stock levels, current market prices, current economic trends and past experience in the measurement of net realizable value.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company makes estimates for allowances that represent its estimate of potential losses in respect of trade receivables. The main components of this allowance are a specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures, and a collective loss component established for groups of similar assets in respect of losses that may have been incurred but not yet specifically identified.

Share-based Compensation

Estimating the fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including: the expected life of the share option; volatility; and dividend yield.

Post-Employment Benefit Plans

The Company has defined benefit pension plans and other post-employment benefit plans that provide certain benefits to its employees. Actuarial valuations of these plans are based on assumptions which include discount rates, retail price inflation, mortality rates, employee turnover and salary escalation rates. Judgment is exercised in setting these assumptions. These assumptions impact the measurement of the net employee benefit obligation, funding levels, the net benefit cost and the actuarial gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income.

FUTURE ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

A number of new standards and amendments to standards have been issued but are not yet effective for the financial year ending December 31, 2015, and accordingly, have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition - In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under IFRS 15 revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The principles in IFRS 15 provide a more structured approach to measuring and recognizing revenue.

The new revenue standard is applicable to all entities and will supersede all current revenue recognition requirements under IFRS. Either a full or modified retrospective application is now required for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted.

Financial Instruments - In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments, which replaces all phases of the financial instruments project, IAS 39 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and all previous versions of IFRS 9. The standard introduces new requirements for classification and measurement, impairment, and hedge accounting. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted.

Leases - In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 - Leases, which requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for most leases. For lessors, there is little change to the existing accounting in IAS 17 - Leases. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted provided the new revenue standard, IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers, has been applied, or is applied at the same date.

Presentation of Financial Statements - The amendments to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements, give some guidance on how to apply the concept on materiality in practice.

The Company is currently assessing the impact of these new standards and amendments on its financial statements.

RESPONSIBILITY OF MANAGEMENT AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Management is responsible for the information disclosed in this MD&A and the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and has in place appropriate information systems, procedures and controls to ensure that information used internally by management and disclosed externally is materially complete and reliable. In addition, the Company's Audit Committee, on behalf of the Board of Directors, provides an oversight role with respect to all public financial disclosures made by the Company, and has reviewed and approved this MD&A and the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Audit Committee is also responsible for determining that management fulfills its responsibilities in the financial control of operations, including disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, together with other members of management, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting as at December 31, 2015, using the internal control integrated framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ('COSO'). Based on that evaluation, they have concluded that the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective as at December 31, 2015, to provide reasonable assurance that a) material information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries would have been known to them and by others within those entities, and b) information required to be disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within required time periods. They have also concluded that the design and operation of internal controls over financial reporting were adequate and effective as at December 31, 2015, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial reporting in accordance with IFRS.

There have been no changes in the design of the Company's internal controls over financial reporting during 2015 that would materially affect, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.

While the Officers of the Company have evaluated the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting as at December 31, 2015 and have concluded that these controls and procedures are being maintained as designed, they expect that the disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

DESCRIPTION OF NON-GAAP AND ADDITIONAL GAAP MEASURES

Additional GAAP Measures

IFRS mandates certain minimum line items for financial statements and also requires presentation of additional line items, headings and subtotals when such presentation is relevant to an understanding of the Company's financial position or performance. IFRS also requires the notes to the financial statements to provide information that is not presented elsewhere in the financial statements, but is relevant to understanding them. Such measures outside of the minimum mandated line items are considered additional GAAP measures. The Company's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto include certain additional GAAP measures where management considers such information to be useful to the understanding of the Company's results.

Gross Profit

Gross Profit is defined as total revenues less cost of goods sold.

Operating Income

Operating income is defined as net earnings before interest expense, interest and investment income and income taxes and is used by management to assess and evaluate the financial performance of its operating segments. Financing and related interest charges cannot be attributed to business segments on a meaningful basis that is comparable to other companies. Business segments and income tax jurisdictions are not synonymous, and it is believed that the allocation of income taxes distorts the historical comparability of the performance of the business segments.

Net Debt to Total Capitalization

Net debt to total capitalization is calculated as net debt divided by total capitalization, both defined below, and is used by management as a measure of the Company's financial leverage.

Net debt is calculated as long-term debt plus current portion of long-term debt less cash. Total capitalization is calculated as shareholders' equity plus net debt.




The calculation is as follows:

Non-GAAP Measures

Management believes that providing certain non-GAAP measures provides users of the Company's consolidated financial statements with important information regarding the operational performance and related trends of the Company's business. By considering these measures in combination with the comparable IFRS measures set out below, management believes that users are provided a better overall understanding of the Company's business and its financial performance during the relevant period than if they simply considered the IFRS measures alone.

The non-GAAP measures used by management do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered as a substitute or alternative for net income or cash flow, in each case as determined in accordance with IFRS.

Working Capital

Working capital is defined as total current assets less total current liabilities. Management views working capital as a measure for assessing overall liquidity.

Key Performance Indicators

Management uses key performance indicators to consistently measure performance against the Company's priorities across the organization. The Company's KPIs include gross profit margin, operating margin, order bookings and backlogs, return on capital employed and return on equity. Although some of these KPIs are expressed as ratios, they are non-GAAP financial measures that do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures used by other issuers.

Gross Profit Margin

This measure is defined as gross profit (defined above) divided by total revenues.

Operating income margin

This measure is defined as operating income (defined above) divided by total revenues.

Order Bookings and Backlogs

The Company's order bookings represent new equipment unit orders that management believes are firm. Backlogs are defined as the retail value of new equipment unit ordered by customers for future deliveries. Management uses order backlog as a measure of projecting future new equipment deliveries. There are no directly comparable IFRS measures for order bookings or backlog.

Return on Capital Employed

Return on Capital Employed ('ROCE') is utilized to assess both current operating performance and prospective investments. The numerator used for the calculation is income before income taxes, interest expense and interest income (excluding interest on rental conversions). The denominator in the calculation is the monthly average capital employed, which is defined as net debt plus shareholders' equity or total capitalization.

Return on Equity

Return on Equity ('ROE') is monitored to assess the profitability of the consolidated Company. ROE is calculated by dividing net earnings by opening shareholders' equity (adjusted for shares issued and redeemed during the year).

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

December 31, 2015

($ thousands except where otherwise indicated)

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Corporate Information

Toromont Industries Ltd. (the 'Company' or 'Toromont') is a limited company incorporated and domiciled in Canada whose shares are publicly traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol TIH. The registered office is located at 3131 Highway 7 West, Concord, Ontario, Canada.

Toromont operates through two reportable segments: The Equipment Group and CIMCO. The Equipment Group includes one of the larger Caterpillar dealerships by revenue and geographic territory, industry-leading rental operations and a growing agricultural dealership in Manitoba. CIMCO is a market leader in the design, engineering, fabrication and installation of industrial and recreational refrigeration systems. Both segments offer comprehensive product support capabilities. Toromont employs over 3,500 people in more than 100 locations.

Statement of Compliance

These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS'), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').

These consolidated unaudited financial statements were authorized for issue by the Audit Committee of the Board of the Directors on February 9, 2016.

Basis of Preparation

These consolidated financial statements were prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivative instruments that have been measured at fair value. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousands, except where otherwise indicated.

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Company obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. All intra-group balances, income and expenses and unrealized gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full.

Business Combinations and Goodwill

When determining the nature of an acquisition, as either a business combination or an asset acquisition, management defines a business as 'an integrated set of activities and assets that is capable of being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing a return in the form of dividends, lower costs or other economic benefits directly to investors or other owners, members or participants'. An integrated set of activities and assets requires two essential elements - inputs and processes applied to those inputs, which together are or will be used to create outputs. However, a business need not include all of the inputs or processes that the seller used in operating that business if the Company is capable of acquiring the business and continuing to produce outputs, for example, by integrating the business with their own inputs and processes. If the transaction does not meet the criteria of a business, it is accounted for as an asset acquisition.

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Company's share in the net fair value of the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the consolidated income statements.

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Company's cash-generating units ('CGUs') that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.

Where goodwill forms part of a CGU and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative fair values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the CGU retained.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash consists of petty cash and demand deposits. Cash equivalents, when applicable, consist of short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business, if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.

Accounts receivable are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for impairment of trade receivables. The expense relating to doubtful accounts is included within 'Selling and administrative expenses' in the consolidated income statements.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

Cost of equipment, repair and distribution parts and direct materials include purchase cost and costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition. Serialized inventory is determined on a specific-item basis. Non-serialized inventory is determined based on a weighted average actual cost.

Cost of work-in-process includes cost of direct materials, labour and an allocation of manufacturing overheads, excluding borrowing costs, based on normal operating capacity.

Cost of inventories includes the transfer of gains and losses on qualifying cash flow hedges, recognized in other comprehensive income, in respect of the purchase of inventory.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Depreciation is recognized principally on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives range from 20 to 30 years for buildings, three to 10 years for equipment and 20 years for power generation assets. Leasehold improvements and lease inducements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Land is not depreciated.

The assets' residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

Rental Equipment

Rental equipment is recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Cost is determined on a specific item basis. Rental equipment is depreciated to its estimated residual value over its estimated useful life on a straight-line basis, which ranges from one to 10 years.

The assets' residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually. Intangible assets with a definite useful life are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation, legal or constructive, as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Provisions for warranty costs are recognized when the product is sold or service provided. Initial recognition is based on historical experience.

Financial Instruments

The Company determines the classification of its financial assets and liabilities at initial recognition. Initially, all financial assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value. Regular-way trades of financial assets and liabilities are recognized on the trade date. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred except for loans and receivables and loans and borrowings, in which case transaction costs are included in initial cost.

Financial Assets

Subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on the classification. The Company has made the following classifications:




--  Cash and cash equivalents are classified as held for trading and as such

    are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value being included in

    profit or loss.

--  Accounts receivable are classified as loans and receivables and are

    recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method,

    less provisions for doubtful accounts.



The Company assesses at each statement of financial position date, whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired.

Financial Liabilities

Subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends on the classification. The Company has made the following classifications:




--  Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as financial

    liabilities and as such are measured at amortized cost. The Company has

    not designated any financial liability at fair value through profit or

    loss.

--  Long-term debt is classified as loans and borrowings and as such is

    subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest

    rate method. Discounts, premiums and fees on acquisition are taken into

    account in determining amortized cost.



Derivatives

Derivatives assets and liabilities are classified as held for trading and are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being included in profit or loss, unless they are designated as hedging instruments, in which case changes in fair value are included in other comprehensive income.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:




--  Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical

    assets or liabilities.

--  Level 2 - other techniques for which all inputs that have a significant

    effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or

    indirectly.

--  Level 3 - techniques that use inputs that have a significant effect on

    the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.



Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedge Accounting

Derivative financial arrangements are used to hedge exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.

Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to the income statement, except for the effective portion of cash flow hedges, which is recognized in other comprehensive income.

At inception, the Company designates and documents the hedge relationship including identification of the transaction and the risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The Company also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged items.

The Company has designated certain derivatives as cash flow hedges. These are hedges of firm commitments and highly probable forecast transactions. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated as a cash flow hedge is recognized in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the income statement. Additionally:




--  If a hedge of a forecast transaction subsequently results in the

    recognition of a non- financial asset, the associated gains or losses

    that were recognized in other comprehensive income are included in the

    initial cost or other carrying amount of the asset;

--  For cash flow hedges other than those identified above, amounts

    accumulated in other comprehensive income are recycled to the income

    statement in the period when the hedged item will affect earnings (for

    instance, when the forecast sale that is hedged takes place);

--  When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer

    meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss in

    other comprehensive income remains in other comprehensive income and is

    recognized when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognized in the

    income statement; and

--  When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the

    cumulative gain or loss that was reported in other comprehensive income

    is immediately recognized in the income statement.



Impairment of Non-financial Assets

The Company assesses annually during the fourth quarter, whether goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite lives may be impaired. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill arising from acquisitions is allocated to each of the Company's cash generating units ('CGUs') or group of CGUs expected to benefit from the acquisition. The level at which goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes, and is not higher than an operating segment. Intangible assets with indefinite lives which do not have separate identifiable cash flows are also allocated to CGUs or a group of CGUs. Any potential impairment of goodwill or intangible assets is identified by comparing the recoverable amount of a CGU or a group of CGUs to its carrying value. The recoverable amount of a CGU or group of CGUs is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. If the recoverable amount of the CGU or group of CGUs is less than the carrying amount, then the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill and then to the other assets pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset. In determining fair value less costs to sell, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses are recognized in the income statement.

The Company bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets which are prepared for each of the CGUs and generally cover a period of three years. For longer periods, a long-term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the third year.

For non-financial assets other than goodwill and intangible assets with definite lives, an assessment is made at each reporting date whether there is any indication of impairment, or that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company estimates the asset's recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the income statement.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, sales taxes and duty. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized:




--  Revenues from the sale of equipment are recognized when the significant

    risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer,

    usually on shipment of the goods and/or invoicing.

--  The sale of equipment for which the Company has provided a guarantee to

    repurchase the equipment at predetermined residual values and dates are

    accounted for as operating leases. Revenues are recognized over the

    period extending to the date of the residual value guarantee.

--  Revenues from the sale of equipment systems involving design,

    manufacture, installation and start-up are recorded using the

    percentage-of-completion method. Percentage-of- completion is normally

    measured by reference to costs incurred to date as a percentage of total

    estimated cost for each contract. Periodically, amounts are received

    from customers in advance of the associated contract work being

    performed. These amounts are recorded on the consolidated statement of

    financial position as deferred revenue. Any foreseeable losses on such

    projects are recognized immediately in profit or loss as identified.

--  Revenues from equipment rentals are recognized in accordance with the

    terms of the relevant agreement with the customer, generally on a

    straight-line basis over the term of the agreement.

--  Product support services include sales of parts and servicing of

    equipment. For the sale of parts, revenues are recognized when the part

    is shipped to the customer. For servicing of equipment, revenues are

    recognized on completion of the service work.

--  Revenues from long-term maintenance contracts and separately priced

    extended warranty contracts are recognized on a percentage-of-completion

    basis proportionate to the service work that has been performed based on

    the parts and labour service provided. Any losses estimated during the

    term of the contract are recognized when identified. At the completion

    of the contract, any remaining profit on the contract is recognized as

    revenue.

--  Interest income is recognized using the effective interest rate method.



Foreign Currency Translation

The functional and presentation currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar. Each of the Company's subsidiaries determines its functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each subsidiary are measured using that functional currency.

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate prevailing at the date of the transaction or at the average rate for the period when this is a reasonable approximation. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency spot rate of exchange as at the reporting date. All differences are taken directly to profit or loss. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions.

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations (having a functional currency other than the Canadian dollar) are translated into Canadian dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing at the statement of financial position date and the income statement is translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The exchange differences arising on translation are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders' equity. On disposal of a foreign operation, the deferred cumulative amount recognized in equity is recognized in the income statement.

Share-based Payment Transactions

The Company operates both equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation plans under which the Company receives services from employees, including senior executives and directors, as consideration for equity instruments of the Company. For equity-settled plans, which are no longer available to non-employee directors, expense is based on the fair value of the awards granted determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. For awards with graded vesting, each tranche is considered to be a separate grant based on its respective vesting period. The fair value of each tranche is determined separately on the date of grant and is recognized as stock-based compensation expense, net of forfeiture estimate, over the term of its respective vesting period.

For cash-settled plans, the expense is determined based on the fair value of the liability incurred at each award date and at each subsequent statement of financial position date until the award is settled. The fair value of the liability is measured by applying quoted market prices. Changes in fair value are recognized in the income statement in selling and administrative expenses.

Employee Future Benefits

For defined contribution plans, the pension expense recorded in the income statement is the amount of the contributions the Company is required to pay in accordance with the terms of the plans.

For defined benefit plans, the pension expense is determined separately for each plan using the following policies:




--  The cost of pensions earned by employees is actuarially determined using

    the projected unit credit method pro-rated on length of service and

    management's best estimate assumptions to value its pensions using a

    measurement date of December 31;

--  Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net

    defined benefit liability or asset;

--  Past service costs from plan amendments are recognized immediately in

    net earnings to the extent that the benefits have vested; otherwise,

    they are amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period; and

--  Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and

    changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in retained earnings and

    included in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which

    they occur.



Income Taxes

Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities.

Deferred taxes are provided for using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantively enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in income tax rates is recognized in the income statement in the period that includes the date of substantive enactment. The Company assesses recoverability of deferred tax assets based on the Company's estimates and assumptions. Deferred tax assets are recorded at an amount that the Company considers probable to be realized.

Current and deferred income taxes relating to items recognized directly in shareholders' equity are also recognized directly in shareholders' equity.

Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at inception date. Leases which transfer substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership of the property to the lessee are classified as finance leases; all other leases are classified as operating leases. Classification is re-assessed if the terms of the lease are changed.

Toromont as Lessee

Operating lease payments are recognized as an operating expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to enter into an operating lease are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Toromont as Lessor

Rental income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur.

Standards Adopted in 2015

Certain amendments to standards and a new interpretation that were adopted on January 1, 2015 are noted below.

a. Employee Benefits

The amendments to IAS 19 - Employee Benefits, require an entity to consider contributions from employees or third parties when accounting for defined benefit plans. Where the contributions are linked to service, they should be attributed to periods of service as a negative benefit. These amendments clarify that, if the amount of the contributions is independent of the number of years of service, an entity is permitted to recognize such contributions as a reduction in the service cost in the period in which the service is rendered, instead of allocating the contributions to the periods of service. The amendments had no impact on the Company's financial position or performance.

b. Operating Segments

The amendments to IFRS 8 - Operating Segments, require an entity to disclose judgments made by management in aggregating segments, and a reconciliation of segment assets to the entity's assets when segments are reported. These amendments resulted in additional disclosures to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective

A number of new standards and amendments to standards have been issued but are not yet effective for the financial year ended December 31, 2015, and accordingly, have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements.

a) Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under IFRS 15 revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The principles in IFRS 15 provide a more structured approach to measuring and recognizing revenue.

The new revenue standard is applicable to all entities and will supersede all current revenue recognition requirements under IFRS. Entities chose either a full retrospective approach with some limited relief provided or a modified retrospective approach for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this interpretation on its consolidated financial statements.

b) Financial Instruments

In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments, which replaces all phases of the financial instruments project, IAS 39 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and all previous versions of IFRS 9. The standard introduces new requirements for classification and measurement, impairment, and hedge accounting.

The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this interpretation on its consolidated financial statements.

c) Leases

In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 - Leases, which requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for most leases. For lessors, there is little change to the existing accounting in IAS 17 - Leases.

The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted provided the new revenue standard, IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers, has been applied, or is applied at the same date. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this interpretation on its consolidated financial statements.

d) Presentation of Financial Statements

The amendments to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements, give some guidance on how to apply the concept on materiality in practice.

The amendments to IAS 1 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016. The Company does not anticipate that the application of these amendments will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

2. Significant Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the end of the reporting period. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.

In making estimates and judgments, management relies on external information and observable conditions where possible, supplemented by internal analysis as required. Management reviews its estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis.

In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, estimates and assumptions which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

Property, Plant and Equipment and Rental Equipment - Depreciation is calculated based on the estimated useful lives of the assets and estimated residual values. Depreciation expense is sensitive to the estimated service lives and residual values determined for each type of asset. Actual lives and residual values may vary depending on a number of factors including technological innovation, product life cycles and physical condition of the asset, prospective use, and maintenance programs.

Impairment of Non-financial Assets - Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset, CGU or group of CGUs exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The fair value less costs of disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions, conducted at arm's length, for similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow ('DCF') model. The cash flows are derived from the budget for the next three years. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes. The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount for the different groups of CGUs, including a sensitivity analysis, are disclosed and further explained in Note 7.

Income Taxes - Estimates and judgments are made for uncertainties which exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations, changes in tax laws, and the amount and timing of future taxable income.

Revenue Recognition - The Company generates revenue from the assembly and manufacture of equipment using the percentage-of-completion method. This method requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions surrounding: the expected profitability of the contract; the estimated degree of completion based on cost progression; and other detailed factors. Although these factors are routinely reviewed as part of the project management process, changes in these estimates or assumptions could lead to changes in revenues recognized in a given period.

The Company also generates revenue from long-term maintenance and repair contracts whereby it is obligated to maintain equipment for its customers. The contracts are typically fixed price on either machine hours or cost per hour, with provisions for inflationary and exchange adjustments. Revenue is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method based on work completed. This method requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions surrounding: machine usage, machine performance, future parts and labour pricing, manufacturers' warranty coverage and other detailed factors. These factors are routinely reviewed as part of the contract management process; however, changes in these estimates or assumptions could lead to changes in the revenues and cost of goods sold recognized in a given period.

Inventories - Management is required to make an assessment of the net realizable value of inventory at each reporting period. These estimates are determined on the basis of age, stock levels, current market prices, current economic trends and past experience in the measurement of net realizable value.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - The Company makes estimates for allowances that represent its estimate of potential losses in respect of trade receivables. The main components of this allowance are a specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures, and a collective loss component established for groups of similar assets in respect of losses that may have been incurred but not yet specifically identified.

Share-based Compensation - Estimating the fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including: the expected life of the share option; volatility; and dividend yield.




Post-Employment Benefit Plans - The Company has defined benefit pension plans and other post-employment benefit plans that provide certain benefits to its employees. Actuarial valuations of these plans are based on assumptions which include discount rates, retail price inflation, mortality rates, employee turnover and salary escalation rates. Judgment is exercised in setting these assumptions. These assumptions impact the measurement of the net employee benefit obligation, funding levels, the net benefit cost and the actuarial gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income.

The distribution network (former Bucyrus) is considered to have an indefinite useful life as the agreement does not have a termination date. Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually, or when conditions suggest that there may be an impairment.


Impairment testing of Goodwill and Intangible Assets with indefinite lives

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives have been allocated to two groups of CGUs for impairment testing as follows:




--  Toromont CAT, included within the Equipment Group

--  CIMCO, which is also an operating and reportable segment



The respective carrying amounts have been allocated to the two groups of CGUs below:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------



The Company performed the annual impairment test of goodwill and intangible assets allocated to Toromont CAT as at December 31, 2015. The recoverable amount of Toromont CAT has been determined based on a value-in-use calculation using cash flow projections from financial budgets approved by senior management covering a three-year period. Cash flow beyond the three-year period was extrapolated using a 2% growth rate which represents the expected growth in the Canadian economy. The pre-tax discount rate applied to future cash flows was 10.85%. As a result of the analysis, management determined there was no impairment for this CGU.

The Company performed the annual impairment test of goodwill allocated to CIMCO as at December 31, 2015. The recoverable amount of CIMCO has been determined based on a value in use calculation using cash flow projections from financial budgets approved by senior management covering a three-year period. Cash flow beyond the three-year period was extrapolated using a 2% growth rate which represents the expected growth in the Canadian economy. The pre-tax discount rate applied to future cash flows was 13.19%. As a result of the analysis, management determined there was no impairment for this CGU.

Key Assumptions to Value-in-Use Calculations

The calculation of value in use for Toromont CAT and CIMCO are most sensitive to the following assumptions:




--  Discount rates

--  Growth rate to extrapolate cash flows beyond the budget period



Discount rates represent the current market assessment of the risks specific to each CGU, taking into consideration the time value of money and individual risks of the underlying assets that have not been incorporated in the cash flow estimates. The discount rate is derived from the CGU's weighted average cost of capital, taking into account both debt and equity.

The cost of equity is derived from the expected return on investment by the Company's shareholders. The cost of debt is based on the interest-bearing borrowings the Company is obliged to service.

Segment-specific risk is incorporated by applying different debt to equity ratios.

Growth rate estimates are based on published data, historical experiences and management's best estimate.

Sensitivity to Changes in Assumptions

Management believes that within reasonably possible changes to any of the above key assumptions, recoverable amounts exceed carrying values.

Effective September 18, 2015, the Company amended and increased its exiting $200.0 million committed credit facility to $250.0 million and extended the term of the agreement to September 7, 2020. Debt incurred under the facility is unsecured and ranks pari passu with debt outstanding under Toromont's existing debentures. Interest is based on a floating rate, primarily bankers' acceptances and prime, plus applicable margins and fees based on the terms of the credit facility.

At December 31, 2015, standby letters of credit issued utilized $21.9 million of the credit lines (2014 - $22.6 million).

On September 30, 2015, the Company issued senior unsecured debentures in an aggregate principal amount of $150.0 million (the 'Debentures'). The Debentures mature in 2025 and bear interest at a rate of 3.71% per annum, payable semi-annually. The Debentures are unsecured, unsubordinated and rank pari passu with other unsecured, unsubordinated debt. The net proceeds of this issuance were used to pay the principal and interest owing on the $125.0 million senior debentures which matured on October 13, 2015 and for general corporate purposes.

These credit arrangements include covenants, restrictions and events of default usually present in credit facilities of this nature, including requirements to meet certain financial tests periodically and restrictions on additional indebtedness and encumbrances.

Scheduled principal repayments and interest payments on long-term debt are as follows:

Interest expense includes interest on debt initially incurred for a term greater than one year of $7.8 million (2014 - $7.9 million).

10. SHARE CAPITAL

Authorized

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares (no par value) and preferred shares. No preferred shares have been issued.

Shareholder Rights Plan

The Shareholder Rights Plan is designed to encourage the fair treatment of shareholders in connection with any takeover offer for the Company. Rights issued under the plan become exercisable when a person, and any related parties, acquires or commences a take-over bid to acquire 20% or more of the Company's outstanding common shares without complying with certain provisions set out in the plan or without approval of the Company's Board of Directors. Should such an acquisition occur, each rights holder, other than the acquiring person and related parties, will have the right to purchase common shares of the Company at a 50% discount to the market price at that time. The plan expires in April 2018.

Normal Course Issuer Bid ('NCIB')

Toromont renewed its NCIB program in 2015. The current issuer bid allows the Company to purchase up to approximately 5.9 million of its common shares in the 12-month period ending August 30, 2016, representing 10% of common shares in the public float, as estimated at the time of renewal. The actual number of shares purchased and the timing of any such purchases will be determined by Toromont. All shares purchased under the bid will be cancelled.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company purchased and cancelled 74,500 common shares for $2.2 million (average cost of $29.95 per share, including transaction costs) under its NCIB program (2014 - nil).

Dividends

The Company paid dividends of $51.2 million ($0.66 per share) for the year ended December 31, 2015 and $44.7 million ($0.58 per share) for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2015, the Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.18 per share payable on April 1, 2016 to shareholders on record at the close of business on March 10, 2016.

11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial Assets and Liabilities - Classification and Measurement

The following table highlights the carrying amounts and classifications of certain financial assets and liabilities:




                                                --------------

                                                  December 31   December 31

Derivative instruments - cash flow hedges:

  Foreign exchange forward contracts             $      2,445$      1,683

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------



The fair value of derivative financial instruments is measured using the discounted value of the difference between the contract's value at maturity based on the contracted foreign exchange rate and the contract's value at maturity based on the comparable foreign exchange rate at period end under the same conditions. The financial institution's credit risk is also taken into consideration in determining fair value. The valuation is determined using Level 2 inputs which are observable inputs or inputs which can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, most significantly foreign exchange spot and forward rates.

The fair value and carrying value of long-term debt is as follows:




                                                --------------

                                                   December 31   December 31

Long-term debt                                            2015          2014

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Fair value                                     $     158,123$     137,040

  Carrying value                                       156,464       133,040

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------



The fair value was determined using the discounted cash flow method, a generally accepted valuation technique. The discounted factor is based on market rates for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities and based on Toromont's credit risk. The Company has no plans to prepay these instruments prior to maturity. The valuation is determined using Level 2 inputs which are observable inputs or inputs which can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

During the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedge Accounting

Foreign exchange contracts are transacted with financial institutions to hedge foreign currency denominated obligations related to purchases of inventory and sales of products. As at December 31, 2015, the Company was committed to USD purchase contracts with a notional amount of $65.5 million at an average exchange rate of $1.3462, maturing between January and July 2016.

Management estimates that a gain of $2.4 million (2014 - $1.7 million) would be realized if the contracts were terminated on December 31, 2015. Certain of these forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, and accordingly, an unrealized gain of $0.7 million (2014 - $0.9 million) has been included in OCI. These gains will be reclassified to net earnings within the next 12 months and will offset losses recorded on the underlying hedged items, namely foreign denominated accounts payable. Certain of these forward contracts are not designated as cash flow hedges but are entered into for periods consistent with foreign currency exposure of the underlying transactions. A gain of $1.7 million (2014 - $0.8 million) on these forward contracts is included in net earnings, which offsets losses recorded on the foreign-denominated items, namely accounts payable.

All hedging relationships are formally documented, including the risk management objective and strategy. On an on-going basis, an assessment is made as to whether the designated derivative financial instruments continue to be effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged transactions.

12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - RISK MANAGEMENT

In the normal course of business, Toromont is exposed to financial risks that may potentially impact its operating results in one or all of its reportable segments. The Company employs risk management strategies with a view to mitigating these risks on a cost-effective basis. Derivative financial agreements are used to manage exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates. The Company does not enter into derivative financial agreements for speculative purposes.

Currency Risk

The Canadian operations of the Company source the majority of its products and major components from the United States. Consequently, reported costs of inventory and the transaction prices charged to customers for equipment and parts are affected by the relative strength of the Canadian dollar. The Company mitigates exchange rate risk by entering into foreign currency contracts to fix the cost of imported inventory where appropriate. In addition, pricing to customers is customarily adjusted to reflect changes in the Canadian dollar landed cost of imported goods.

The Company maintains a hedging policy whereby all significant transactional currency risks are identified and hedged.

Sensitivity Analysis

The following sensitivity analysis is intended to illustrate the sensitivity to changes in foreign exchange rates on the Company's financial instruments and show the impact on net earnings and comprehensive income. It is provided as a reasonably possibly change in currency in a volatile environment. Financial instruments affected by currency risk include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and derivative financial instruments.

As at December 31, 2015, a 5% weakening (strengthening) of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar would result in a $0.3 million increase (decrease) in OCI for financial instruments held in foreign operations and a $0.4 million increase (decrease) in net earnings and $2.4 million increase (decrease) in OCI for financial instruments held in Canadian operations.

Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash, accounts receivable and derivative financial instruments. The carrying amount of assets included on the consolidated statement of financial position represents the maximum credit exposure.

The Company has deposited cash with reputable financial institutions, from which management believes the risk of loss to be remote.

The Company has accounts receivable from customers engaged in various industries including mining, construction, food and beverage, and governmental agencies. These specific customers may be affected by economic factors that may impact accounts receivable. Management does not believe that any single customer represents significant credit risk. Credit risk concentration with respect to trade receivables is mitigated by the Company's large customer base.

The credit risk associated with derivative financial instruments arises from the possibility that the counterparties may default on their obligations. In order to minimize this risk, the Company enters into derivative transactions only with highly rated financial institutions.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company minimizes its interest rate risk by managing its portfolio of floating and fixed rate debt, as well as managing the term to maturity. The Company may use derivative instruments such as interest rate swap agreements to manage its current and anticipated exposure to interest rates. There were no interest rate swap agreements outstanding as at December 31, 2015 or 2014.

The Company did not have any floating rate debt at December 31, 2015 or 2014.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may encounter difficulties in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. As at December 31, 2015, the Company had unutilized lines of credit of $228.1 million (2014 - $177.4 million). The increase in the unutilized lines of credit was due to the amendment of the credit facility in 2015 (see Note 9).

Accounts payable are primarily due within 90 days and will be satisfied from current working capital.

The Company expects that continued cash flows from operations in 2016, together with currently available credit facilities, will be more than sufficient to fund its requirements for investments in working capital, capital assets and dividend payments through the next 12 months, and that the Company's credit ratings provide reasonable access to capital markets to facilitate future debt issuance.

17. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company maintains a stock option program for certain employees. Under the plan, up to 7,000,000 options may be granted for subsequent exercise in exchange for common shares. It is the Company's policy that no more than 1% of outstanding shares or 772,594 share options may be granted in any one year. Stock options vest 20% per year on each anniversary date of the grant and are exercisable at the designated common share price, which is fixed at prevailing market prices of the common shares at the date the option is granted. Effective 2013, stock options granted have a ten-year term while those granted prior to 2013 have a seven-year term. Toromont accrues compensation cost over the vesting period based on the grant date fair value. A reconciliation of the outstanding options for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was as follows:

Employee Share Ownership Plan

The Company offers an Employee Share Ownership Plan (the 'Plan') whereby employees who meet the eligibility criteria can purchase shares by way of payroll deductions. There is a Company match of up to $1,000 per employee per annum based on contributions by the Company of $1 for every $3 contributed by the employee. Company contributions vest to the employee immediately. Company contributions amounting to $1.1 million in 2015 (2014 - $1.0 million) were charged to selling and administrative expenses when paid. The Plan is administered by a third party.

18. EMPLOYEE FUTURE BENEFITS

The plan is administered by the Toromont Pension Management Committee with assets held in a pension fund that is legally separate from the Company and cannot be used for any purpose other than payment of pension benefits and related administrative fees. The plan is registered with the province of Manitoba. Manitoba's minimum funding regulations require special payments for Toromont to amortize any shortfalls of plan assets relative to the cost of settling all accrued benefit entitlements through the purchase of annuities or payments of an equivalent lump sum value (solvency funding basis). Security in the form of letters of credit is permitted in lieu of some or all of these solvency special payments. If the fair value of defined benefit assets were to exceed 105% of this solvency funding target, the excess can be applied to the cost of the defined benefits and defined contributions in future periods. The most recent actuarial valuation was completed as at December 31, 2013, with the next valuation scheduled for December 31, 2016.

b) Executive Plan - The plan is a supplemental pension plan and is solely the obligation of the Company. All members of the plan are retired. The Company is not obligated to fund the plan but is obligated to pay benefits under the terms of the plan as they come due. At December 31, 2015, the Company has posted letters of credit in the amount of $18.0 million to secure the obligations under this plan. The most recent actuarial valuation was completed as at December 31, 2015, with the next valuation scheduled for December 31, 2016.

c) Other plan assets and obligations - This provides for certain retirees and terminated vested employees of businesses previously acquired by the Company as well as for retired participants of the defined contribution plan that, in accordance with the plan provisions, have elected to receive a pension directly from the plan. The plan is administered by a Fund that is legally separated from the Company. The most recent actuarial valuation was completed on January 1, 2014, with the next valuation scheduled for January 1, 2017.

Risks

The plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks as described below:




--  Investment risk - The present value of the defined benefit plan

    liability is calculated using a discount rate determined by reference to

    high quality corporate bond yields; if the return on plan asset is below

    this rate, it will create a plan deficit. Currently, the plan has a

    relatively balanced investment in equity securities, debt instruments

    and real estate assets. The Toromont Pension Management Committee

    reviews the asset mix and performance of the plan assets on a quarterly

    basis with the balanced investment strategy intention.

--  Interest rate risk - A decrease in the bond interest rates will increase

    the plan liability; however, this will be partially offset by an

    increase in the plan's holdings in debt instruments

--  Longevity risk - The present value of the defined benefit plan liability

    is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan

    participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the

    life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan's

    liability.

--  Salary risk - The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is

    calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As

    such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase

    the plan's liability.



The principal assumptions used for the purpose of the actuarial valuations were as follows:




                                                --------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------



The allocation of the fair value of the plan assets at the end of the reporting period for each category was as follows:




                                                         2015          2014

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cash and cash equivalents                                 0.3%          0.9%

----------------------------------------------------------------------------



The fair values of the above plan assets are determined based on the following methods:




--  Equity securities - generally quoted market prices in active markets.

--  Debt securities - generally quoted market prices in active markets.

--  Real estate assets - valued based on appraisals performed by a qualified

    external real estate appraiser. Real estate assets are located primarily

    in Canada.

--  Cash and cash equivalents - generally recorded at cost which

    approximates fair value.



The actual return on plan assets was $2.3 million (2014 - $5.6 million).

Sensitivity Analysis

Significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined obligation are the discount rate and the life expectancy. The sensitivity analyses have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.

As at December 31, 2015, the following quantitative analysis shows changes to the significant actuarial assumptions and the corresponding impact to the defined benefit obligation:




                ------------------------------------------------------------

                         Discount Rate                Life expectancy

                ------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Powell Plan      $     (7,040)$       8,092 $         1,456 $       (1,456)

Executive Plan   $     (1,610)$       1,765 $           507 $         (507)

Other Plan       $       (787) $         874 $           368 $         (368)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------



The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

The Company expects to contribute $1.9 million to the defined benefit plans during 2016.

The weighted average duration of the defined benefit plan obligation at December 31, 2015 was 13.3 years (2014 - 13.3 years).

19. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company defines capital as the aggregate of shareholders' equity and long-term debt less cash.

The Company's capital management framework is designed to maintain a flexible capital structure that allows for optimization of the cost of capital at acceptable risk while balancing the interests of both equity and debt holders.

The Company generally targets a net debt to total capitalization ratio of 33%, although there is a degree of variability associated with the timing of cash flows. Also, if appropriate opportunities are identified, the Company is prepared to significantly increase this ratio depending upon the opportunity.

The Company's capital management criteria can be illustrated as follows:




                                          -----------------

Net debt to total capitalization                        10%               6%

----------------------------------------------------------------------------



The Company is subject to minimum capital requirements relating to bank credit facilities and senior debentures. The Company has comfortably met these minimum requirements during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

21. COMMITMENTS

The Company has entered into leases on buildings, vehicles and office equipment. The vehicle and office equipment leases generally have an average life between three and five years with no renewal options. The building leases have a maximum lease term of 20 years including renewal options. Some of the contracts include a lease escalation clause, which is usually based on the Consumer Price Index.

Future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases as at December 31, 2015 were as follows:

22. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

The Company has two reportable segments: the Equipment Group and CIMCO, each supported by the corporate office. These segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services, and each is managed separately. The corporate office provides finance, treasury, legal, human resources and other administrative support to the segments. The accounting policies of each of the reportable segments are the same as the significant account policies described in Note 1.

The operating segments are being reported based on the financial information provided to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who have been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODMs') in monitoring segment performance and allocating resources between segments. The CODMs assesses segment performance based on segment operating income, which is measured differently than income from operations in the consolidated financial statements. Corporate overheads are allocated to the segments based on revenue. Income taxes, interest expense, interest and investment income are managed at a consolidated level and are not allocated to the reportable operating segments. Current taxes, deferred taxes and certain financial assets and liabilities are not allocated to the segments as they are also managed on a consolidated level.

The aggregation of the reportable segments is based on the economic characteristics of the business units. These business units are considered to have similar economic characteristics including nature of products and services, class of customers and markets served and similar distribution models.

No reportable segment is reliant on any single external customer.

The Equipment Group

The Equipment Group comprises the following business units:




--  Toromont CAT - supplies, rents and provides support services for

    specialized mobile equipment and industrial engines.

--  Battlefield - the CAT Rental Store - supplies and rents specialized

    mobile equipment as well as specialty supplies and tools.

--  AgWest - supplies specialized mobile equipment to the agriculture

    industry.

--  Toromont Energy - develops distributed generators and combined heat and

    power projects using Caterpillar engines.

24. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

There were no businesses acquired during the year ended December 31, 2015.

Acquisitions in 2014

Ag West Equipment Limited

On September 30, 2014, the Company acquired Ag West Equipment Limited ('Ag West'), for total cash consideration of $3.7 million, plus assumed debt of $3.0 million for a total transaction value of $6.7 million. Based in Manitoba, Ag West specialised in the sale and service of agricultural equipment as an authorized dealer of AGCO and other manufacturers' products for over twenty years. With this acquisition, Toromont expanded its cross-selling opportunities and strengthened its presence in the agricultural sector.

The purchase price was allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon the fair market value at the date of acquisition. The final allocation of the purchase price was as follows:




Assets

  Cash                                                       $           577

                                                             $        15,983

----------------------------------------------------------------------------



Liabilities

  Current liabilities                                        $        12,320

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Net identifiable assets acquired                             $         3,663

----------------------------------------------------------------------------



For the year ended December 31, 2014, Ag West contributed $5.7 million of revenues from the date of acquisition. If the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2014, Ag West would have contributed approximately $22.3 million in total revenues for the year-ended December 31, 2014.

Canpro Gator Centre

On December 19, 2014, Ag West acquired substantially all of the assets of Canpro Gator Centre ('Canpro'), for approximately $6.4 million, representing their assessed fair value. Based in Manitoba, Canpro specialised in the sale and service of agricultural equipment as an authorized AGCO dealer. Additionally, Canpro was the licensed distributor for various agricultural precision devices that increase productivity and efficiency. This acquisition provided broader market coverage with an expanded portfolio of products and services.

The purchase price was allocated to the underlying assets acquired based on preliminary fair value assessments as at the purchase date. In September 2015, the valuation was completed and the final fair values of the assets acquired were adjusted.

The following table provides a summary of adjustments to the preliminary assessed fair values of assets acquired.




Assets                          Preliminary     Adjustments        Final

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Trade receivables          $           124 $          (40) $            84

  Inventories                          5,365               9           5,374

  Other assets                           413            (65)             348

  Property, plant and

   equipment                             527              66             593

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

                             $         6,429 $          (30) $         6,399

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------



Canpro contributed no revenues in the year-ended December 31, 2014 due to the timing of the acquisition. If the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2014, Canpro would have contributed approximately $20.0 million in total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014.
