1 2018 Financial Report Third Quarter,

2 Executive Summary The Canadian economy is running close to full capacity. During the three-month period ended,, the economy decelerated from its much stronger growth earlier in the year. The combination of slower growth and below-target inflation kept the Bank of Canada on hold in December, maintaining the overnight interest rate at 1.00%. The national unemployment rate, at 5.7%, is currently at the lowest level ever recorded. Unemployment rates for Canada s three largest provinces are also close to historic lows. Average weekly wages picked up over the quarter, rising 2.9%, compared to the same period last year. The American economy s strong growth in the second half of helped Canada s exports to remain strong, hitting close to record levels in the energy sector. Metals, industrial machinery and agricultural products also had positive real growth. Commodity prices rose in the last quarter. In particular, the price of oil averaged US$55 per barrel during the quarter and closed even higher at US$60/barrel. However, the upswing in the price of oil has not been felt in Western Canada, as a result of various market factors. The high consumer debt ratio (1) remains a risk for the Canadian economy, especially in the context of rising interest rates. However, a strong job market mitigates this risk. The uncertainty surrounding the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) also presents a risk to the Canadian economy, given that the U.S. is Canada s most important trading partner, accounting for over 70% of our exports of goods and services. Business confidence remains positive, according to the Bank of Canada s most recent Business Outlook Survey (2) supporting business investment and employment plans. Business credit conditions eased in the last months of, according to the Bank of Canada s Senior Loan Officer Survey. As a result of current credit conditions in the market and BDC s complementary role, the volume of BDC s activity slowed slightly in the third quarter of fiscal 2018, compared to last year. Loans accepted by clients of Financing (3) reached $1.7 billion for the quarter, compared to $1.8 billion for the same period last year. For the nine-month period ended,, clients accepted 13,786 loans for a total of $5.3 billion, compared to 12,005 and $5.3 billion, respectively, for the same period last year. The increase in the number of loans accepted in fiscal 2018 was driven by a strong volume of online financing activity, as BDC continued to invest in technology and processes to make it easier for small and medium-sized enterprises to access financing through its virtual business centre. Financing s loans portfolio (4) stood at $23.9 billion as at,, a 6.7% increase since March 31,. (1) Consumer debt to disposable income was at a record high of 171% at the end of the third quarter of.

3 Executive Summary During the quarter ended,, clients of Growth & Transition Capital (G&TC) accepted $133.6 million in financing, for a total of $357.0 million for the nine-month period. These were strong results, compared to $90.8 million and $265.3 million, respectively, for the same periods last year. In December, BDC announced that it had earmarked $900 million for change of ownership transactions as part of the $1.8 billion it had committed to investing in high-potential firms over five years, announced last April. With BDC s help, business owners have the opportunity to withdraw capital while maintaining ownership of the company, which is often the first step in a phased succession approach. Venture Capital authorized investments totalling $11.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018, compared to $65.6 million for the same period last year, for a total of $91.4 million for the nine months ended, ($122.6 million for the same period last year). The decrease in authorizations was mainly due to lower indirect investments as a result of the timing of fund closings. In November, BDC announced that it had committed an additional $20 million to its Women in Tech investment program as part of its continued efforts to support women entrepreneurs. The new commitment builds on a 2016 commitment to invest $50 million in women-led technology firms, bringing the total fund size to $70 million, to be invested over five years. BDC Advisory Services supported entrepreneurs by initiating 473 mandates for a total of $8.3 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2018, and 1,147 mandates for a total of $22.4 million for the nine-month period. This compared to 448 mandates for a total of $8.0 million and 1,405 mandates for a total of $20.4 million for the same periods last year, respectively. In the third quarter of fiscal 2018, BDC posted consolidated net income of $157.3 million, for a total of $594.2 million for the nine-month period of fiscal The comparative figures for the same periods in fiscal were $116.2 million and $322.1 million, respectively. The favourable variance compared to fiscal was mostly attributable to a higher net change in unrealized appreciation of Venture Capital s investments, to Financing s portfolio growth and to a lower provision for credit losses.

5 Table of Contents Management Discussion and Analysis.. 6 Context of the Quarterly Financial Report... 6 Risk Management... 6 Analysis of Financial Results... 7 Consolidated Financial Statements...16 From time to time, we make written or oral forward-looking statements. We may make forward-looking statements in this quarterly financial report. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about objectives and strategies for achieving objectives, as well as statements about outlooks, plans, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions. By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous factors and assumptions, and they are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific. These uncertainties give rise to the possibility that predictions, forecasts, projections and other elements of forward-looking statements will not be achieved. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed. BDC Quarterly Financial Report Third Quarter 2018 (ended, ) 5

6 Management Discussion and Analysis Context of the Quarterly Financial Report The Financial Administration Act requires that all departments and parent Crown corporations prepare and make public a quarterly financial report. The Standard on Quarterly Financial Reports for Crown Corporations is issued by the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat to provide parent Crown corporations with the form and content of the quarterly financial report under the authority of section of the Financial Administration Act. There is no requirement for an audit or review of the financial statements included in the quarterly financial report. Therefore, the condensed quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report have not been audited or reviewed by an external auditor. Risk Management In order to fulfill its mandate while ensuring sustainability, BDC must take and manage risk. BDC s approach to risk management is based on establishing a risk governance structure, including organizational design, policies, processes and controls, to effectively manage risk in line with its risk appetite. This structure enables the establishment of a comprehensive risk management framework for risk identification, assessment and measurement, risk analytics, reporting, and monitoring. In addition, this framework is designed to ensure that risk is considered in all business activities and that risk management is an integral part of day-to-day decision-making, as well as the annual corporate planning process. The primary means through which the risk management function reports risk is through its quarterly Integrated Risk Management (IRM) report to senior management and the Board of Directors. This report provides a comprehensive quantitative and qualitative assessment of performance against the risk appetite, profiles BDC s major risk categories, identifies significant existing and emerging risks, and provides in-depth portfolio monitoring. No significant changes were made to BDC s IRM practices and no new risks were identified during the quarter ended,. BDC Quarterly Financial Report Third Quarter 2018 (ended, ) 6

7 Management Discussion and Analysis Analysis of Financial Results Analysis of financial results is provided to enable a reader to assess BDC s results of operations and financial condition for the three-month and nine-month periods ended,, compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. This analysis also includes comments about significant variances from BDC s fiscal Corporate Plan, when applicable. BDC currently reports on five business segments: Financing, Growth & Transition Capital, Venture Capital, Advisory Services and Venture Capital Action Plan (VCAP). In past years, Financing and Securitization were presented as separate segments. Starting in fiscal 2018, BDC no longer reports on Securitization separately and presents asset-backed securities (ABS) as a product of Financing. For fiscal 2018, BDC has adopted a refined methodology to recharge shared corporate services to business lines, as indicated in its fiscal Corporate Plan. All amounts are in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise specified, and are based on unaudited condensed quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.

This compared to $116.2 million in consolidated net income for the same period last year, of which net income of $0.3 million was attributable to non-controlling interests. BDC s consolidated net income was $594.2 million for the nine months ended,, significantly higher than the $322.1 million recorded for the same period last year. BDC Quarterly Financial Report Third Quarter 2018 (ended, ) 7

8 Management Discussion and Analysis The increase compared to last year, for both the quarter and year-to-date results, was mostly attributable to Venture Capital s solid results, Financing portfolio growth and lower provision for credit losses. As at,, BDC had exceeded its Corporate Plan annual net income target of $486 million. Consolidated comprehensive income Three months ended Nine months ended ($ in millions) F2018 F F2018 F Net income Other comprehensive income (loss) Items that may be reclassified subsequently to net income Net change in unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale assets - (1.0) (3.4) (2.0) Net change in unrealized gains (losses) on cash flow hedges Total items that may be reclassified subsequently to net income (3.4) (0.9) Items that will not be reclassified to net income Remeasurements of net defined benefit asset or liability (26.9) (10.9) Other comprehensive income (loss) (26.6) (14.3) Total comprehensive income Total comprehensive income attributable to: BDC's shareholder Non-controlling interests (0.9) Total comprehensive income Three and nine months ended Consolidated total comprehensive income comprises net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income (OCI) is mostly affected by remeasurements of the net defined benefit asset or liability, which are subject to strong volatility as a result of market fluctuations. BDC recorded other comprehensive loss of $26.6 million and $14.3 million, respectively, for the third quarter and the nine-month periods ended,, mainly due to lower discount rates used to value the net defined benefit liability, partially offset by higher returns on pension plan assets than forecasted.

The increase in profitability for both periods of fiscal 2018 was mainly due to higher net interest and fee income, as a main result of strong portfolio growth, and lower provision for credit losses due to the good performance of the portfolio. As a percentage of average portfolio, net interest and fee income reached 4.8% for the nine months ended,, higher than the 4.7% recorded in the same period last year. Operating and administrative expenses for both periods were lower than last year, despite portfolio growth, bringing the operating expenses as a percentage of the average portfolio from 1.8% in fiscal to 1.6% on a year-to-date basis. Lower shared costs as a result of the revised methodology for recharging shared corporate services to business lines mainly explained the decrease in operating expenses.

Results for the quarter were affected by higher net fair value depreciation of investments. Net revenue on investments was stable for the quarter and slightly higher for the nine-month period when compared to last year. While net interest income increased as a result of portfolio growth, net realized gains (losses) on investments, as well as fee and other income, were slightly lower than those in the corresponding periods last year, affecting net revenue on investments.

11 Management Discussion and Analysis After nine months, Growth & Transition Capital recorded a net change in unrealized appreciation of $1.0 million, a strong result compared to last year, reflecting the good quality of the portfolio. During the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the increase in fair value depreciation was mainly driven by a few large accounts. Three months ended Nine months ended ($ in millions) F2018 F F2018 F Net fair value appreciation (depreciation) (16.5) (0.6) (5.6) (2.2) Reversal of net fair value depreciation (appreciation) due to realized income and write-offs 2.3 (2.2) 6.6 (6.7) Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments (14.2) (2.8) 1.0 (8.9) Operating and administrative expenses amounted to $29.1 million for the nine-month period ended,, higher than the $25.3 million recorded last year. The increase was mainly due to a revised methodology for recharging shared corporate services to business lines. However, as a percentage of the average portfolio, operating and administrative expenses were lower for both the quarter and nine-month period ended,, as BDC continued to focus on efficiency.

12 Management Discussion and Analysis Three and nine months ended During the third quarter of fiscal 2018, Venture Capital recorded a net income of $11.9 million, compared to a net income of $10.6 million for the same period last year. For the nine months ended,, net income was $107.8 million, a strong result compared to the net loss of $16.7 million recorded for the same period last year. Fiscal 2018 year-to-date net income was driven by a significant net change in unrealized appreciation of investments. The third quarter of fiscal 2018 was positively affected by net revenue on investments of $9.7 million, compared to $4.5 million recorded last year. For the nine-month period, Venture Capital recorded higher write-offs, mainly explaining the net loss on investments of $22.0 million recorded in fiscal 2018, compared to net revenue of $6.7 million recorded last year. During the third quarter and nine-month period of fiscal 2018, proceeds received from the divestiture of investments were $44.1 million and $105.9 million, respectively, compared to $41.5 million and $87.3 million received for the same periods of fiscal. In addition, two of our investees completed an initial public offering in fiscal Venture Capital recorded a net change in unrealized appreciation of investments of $3.1 million for the third quarter and $176.5 million for the nine-month period of fiscal During the second quarter of fiscal 2018, one of BDC s investees accepted a significant offer for a partial sale of its holding. BDC increased the fair value of its remaining holding, a portion of which was attributed to non-controlling interests. Three months ended Nine months ended ($ in millions) F2018 F F2018 F Net fair value appreciation (depreciation) 0.4 (3.7) (31.8) Reversal of fair value depreciation (appreciation) on divested investments and write-offs Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments (20.3) Net unrealized foreign exchange losses on investments in the nine-month period were due to foreign exchange fluctuations on the U.S. dollar and were higher than last year due to a stronger Canadian dollar. On a year-to-date basis, operating and administrative expenses were $17.7 million, higher than those recorded for the same period of fiscal, mainly due to a revised methodology for recharging shared corporate services to business lines.

13 Management Discussion and Analysis Advisory Services results Three months ended Nine months ended ($ in millions) F2018 F F2018 F Revenue Delivery expenses (1) Gross operating margin Operating and administrative expenses Net loss from Advisory Services (12.1) (11.9) (37.4) (34.1) (1) Delivery expenses are included in operating and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Three and nine months ended The offering under Advisory Services is considered an investment in entrepreneurs. As such, a net loss of $12.1 million was recorded for the third quarter of fiscal 2018, compared to a net loss of $11.9 million recorded for the same quarter last year. Cumulative net loss for the nine-month period ended,, was $37.4 million, compared to $34.1 million for the same period last year. This was higher than last year, as BDC continued to invest to develop its non-financial services, including new offerings for Canada s high-impact firms (Growth Driver Program), the Accelerated Growth Service (AGS) program and an enhanced offering to help businesses expand internationally. Advisory Services recorded revenue of $4.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 and $14.2 million for the nine-month period ended,, slightly lower than the $5.5 million and $14.6 million, respectively, for the same periods last year. Gross operating margin, at $4.3 million for the nine months ended,, was lower than the $6.2 million recorded for the same period last year. This was mainly due to delivery expenses related to the implementation of the new Growth Driver Program. Operating and administrative expenses were $13.6 million and $41.7 million for the three-month and nine-month periods ended,, respectively, compared to $14.4 million and $40.3 million for the same periods of fiscal. The increase from the nine-month period last year was mainly a result of a revised methodology for recharging shared corporate services to business lines.

14 Management Discussion and Analysis Venture Capital Action Plan results Three months ended Nine months ended ($ in millions) F2018 F F2018 F Net revenue (loss) on investments Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments (6.9) Net unrealized foreign exchange gains (losses) on investments (0.2) 0.1 Income (loss) before operating and administrative expenses (6.8) Operating and administrative expenses Net income (loss) from Venture Capital Action Plan (7.3) Three and nine months ended During the third quarter of fiscal 2018, Venture Capital Action Plan (VCAP) recorded a net income of $0.8 million, compared to net income of $1.9 million for the same period last year. For the nine-month period ended,, VCAP recorded a net income of $11.1 million, compared to a net loss of $7.3 million for the same period last year. Strong fiscal 2018 results were explained by a net change in unrealized appreciation of underlying funds. The fiscal net change in unrealized depreciation of investments was affected by a decrease in the fair value of underlying funds, as well as by expenses related to the closing of two funds of funds. Operating and administrative expenses of $0.8 million for the nine-month period ending, were slightly higher than those recorded in the same period of fiscal, mainly due to higher staff levels to support portfolio growth.

15 Management Discussion and Analysis Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows As at,, total BDC assets amounted to $27.3 billion, an increase of $2.0 billion from March 31,, largely due to the $1.5 billion increase in our loans portfolio, combined with a $0.2 billion increase in the subordinate financing investment portfolio, and a $0.3 billion increase in the venture capital and VCAP investment portfolios. At $23.2 billion, the loans portfolio represented BDC s largest asset ($23.9 billion in gross portfolio less a $0.7 billion allowance for credit losses). The gross loans portfolio grew by 6.7% in the nine months after March 31,, reflecting a strong level of activity. BDC s investment portfolios, which include the subordinate financing, venture capital and VCAP portfolios, stood at $2.6 billion, compared to $2.2 billion as at March 31,, with subordinate financing investments exceeding $1 billion as at,. The asset-backed securities portfolio stood at $498.5 million, compared to $518.1 million as at March 31,. Derivative assets of $19.6 million and derivative liabilities of $1.5 million reflected the fair value of derivative financial instruments as at,. Net derivative fair value decreased by $1.4 million since March 31,, explained by maturities and a decrease in fair value. As at,, BDC recorded a net defined benefit asset of $119.3 million related to the registered pension plan and a net defined benefit liability of $246.7 million for the other plans, for a total net defined benefit liability of $127.4 million. This represented an increase of $17.0 million, compared to the total net defined benefit liability as at March 31,, primarily as a result of remeasurement losses recorded in fiscal Refer to page 8 of this report for further information on remeasurements of net defined benefit asset or liability. BDC holds cash and cash equivalents in accordance with its Treasury Risk Policy. The Bank s liquidities, which ensure funds are available to meet BDC s cash outflows, totalled $685.5 million as at,, compared to $649.2 million as at March 31,. For the nine-month period ended,, operating activities used $1,051.4 million, mainly to support the growth of the loans portfolio. Cash flows used by investing activities amounted to $298.6 million, reflecting net disbursements of subordinate financing, venture capital and VCAP investments. Financing activities provided $1,386.3 million in cash flow, mainly as a result of the issuance of short-term notes. As at,, BDC funded its portfolios and liquidities with borrowings of $20.3 billion and total equity of $6.6 billion. Borrowings comprised $20.2 billion in short-term notes and $0.1 billion in long-term notes. Guarantees totalled $46.3 million as at,, compared to $341.8 million as at March 31,, following the expiration of a $300 million facility. Capital adequacy BDC s capital management framework is based on its Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP). To assess its capital adequacy, BDC monitors its capital status regularly by comparing its available capital to its capital demand. A key measure for assessing the adequacy of BDC s capital status is BDC s internal capital ratio. BDC s internal capital ratio as at,, reached its target capital ratio of 134%, compared to 130% as at March 31,. BDC Quarterly Financial Report Third Quarter 2018 (ended, ) 15
