1. Condensed interim consolidated financial statements
(a)     Basis of presentation
The notes presented in our condensed interim consolidated financial statements include only significant events and transactions and are not fully inclusive of all matters normally disclosed in our annual audited financial statements; thus, our interim consolidated financial statements are referred to as condensed. Our financial results may vary from period to period during any fiscal year. The seasonality in our business, and consequently, our financial performance, mirrors that of our clients. Our revenues are typically higher in the third and fourth quarters than in other quarters.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, and are expressed in United States dollars and follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as set out in our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, other than as described in the section “Change in presentation” below. The generally accepted accounting principles that we use are International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS-IASB). Our condensed interim consolidated financial statements comply with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting and reflect all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) that are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements as at and for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 were authorized by our Board of Directors for issue on August 4, 2023.

(b)     Change in presentation
In our condensed interim consolidated statements of cash flows for the three- and six-month period ended June 30, 2022, we have reclassified $6 million and $11 million, respectively, of cash interest paid on credit facilities from cash flows from operating activities, to cash flows from financing activities. This change in presentation is consistent with the annual disclosures included in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.
In our condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position, we have reclassified certain current and non-current provisions previously included in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and Other long-term liabilities, respectively, based on materiality. All amounts presented for the comparative period has been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.
(c)    Accounting policy developments
Initial application of standards, interpretations and amendments to standards and interpretations in the reporting period
In February 2021, the International Accounting Standards Board issued narrow-scope amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, IFRS Practice Statement 2, Making Materiality Judgements and IAS 8, Accounting Polices, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, although earlier application was permitted. The amendments require the disclosure of material accounting policy information rather than disclosing significant accounting policies, and clarify how to distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. Our financial disclosure is currently not materially affected by the application of the amendments.
In May 2021, the International Accounting Standards Board issued targeted amendments to IAS 12, Income Taxes. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, although earlier application was permitted. With a view to reducing diversity in reporting, the amendments clarify that companies are required to recognize deferred taxes on transactions where both assets and liabilities are recognized, such as with leases and asset retirement (decommissioning) obligations. Our financial performance or disclosure is currently not materially affected by the application of the amendments.
In May 2023, the International Accounting Standards Board issued International Tax Reform - Pillar Two Model Rules (Amendments to IAS 12), which amended IAS 12, Income Taxes. The amendments provide temporary relief from accounting for deferred income taxes arising from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's (OECD) Pillar Two model rules (such rules ensuring that large multinational corporations would be subject to a minimum 15% income tax rate in every jurisdiction in which they operate). As different jurisdictions are expected to implement the OECD rules at different speeds and at different points in time, the amendments are intended to help ensure consistency within, and comparability across, financial statements. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. We are currently assessing the impacts of the amended standard, but do not expect that our financial disclosure will be materially affected by the application of the amendments.
2. Capital structure financial policies
Our objective when managing capital is to maintain a flexible capital structure that optimizes the cost and availability of capital at acceptable risk levels.
In the management of capital and in its definition, we include owners’ equity (excluding accumulated other comprehensive income), long-term debt (including long-term credit facilities and any hedging assets or liabilities associated with our long-term debt, net of amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income and excluding lease liabilities) and cash and cash equivalents. We manage capital by monitoring the financial covenants in our credit facility (Note 13—Long-term debt).
We manage our capital structure and make adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of our business. In order to maintain or adjust our capital structure, we may issue new shares, issue new debt with different terms or characteristics, which may be used to replace existing debt, or pay down our debt balance with cash flows from operations.

In connection with our acquisition of WillowTree on January 3, 2023, we amended and expanded our existing credit facility to an aggregate $2.0 billion facility, consisting of an $800 million revolving credit facility and $1.2 billion in term loans payable in five years (see Note 11(b)—Intangible assets and goodwill—Business acquisitions for additional details on the acquisition of WillowTree, and Note 13(a)—Long-term debt—Credit facility for additional details on our credit facility).

4. Share-based compensation
(a)    Restricted share unit plan
Restricted share units
We have various restricted share unit award types, including equity-settled restricted share units (RSUs) and performance restricted share units (PSUs). All restricted share units are nominally equal in value to one TELUS International subordinate voting share. Beginning January 1, 2021, restricted share unit awards granted were equity-settled. The following table presents a summary of the activity related to our restricted share units:

(b)    Share option award plan
We have equity-settled share option awards (Share Options), and liability-accounted share option awards (Phantom Share Options). Share Options grant the right to the employee recipient to purchase and receive a subordinate voting share of TELUS International for a pre-determined exercise price. Phantom Share Options grant the right to the employee recipient to receive cash equal to the intrinsic value of the share option award, determined as the difference between the market price of a subordinate voting share of TELUS International and the exercise price. Share option awards are generally exercisable for a period of ten years from the time of grant. Beginning January 1, 2021, share option awards granted were equity-settled.

(b)Diluted (loss) earnings per share
Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated to give effect to the potential dilutive effect that could occur if additional equity shares were assumed to be issued under securities or instruments that may entitle their holders to obtain equity shares in the future, which include share-based compensation awards (see Note 4—Share-based compensation for additional details) and provisions for written put options (see Note 11(b)—Intangible assets and goodwill—Business acquisitions and Note 12—Provisions for additional details). The number of additional shares for inclusion in the diluted earnings per share calculation was determined using the treasury stock method.

We maintain allowances for lifetime expected credit losses related to doubtful accounts. Current economic conditions (including forward-looking macroeconomic data), historical information (including credit agency reports, if available), reasons for the accounts being past due and line of business from which the customer accounts receivable arose are all considered when determining whether to make allowances for past-due accounts. The same factors are considered when determining whether to write off amounts charged to the allowance for doubtful accounts against the customer accounts receivable. The doubtful accounts expense is calculated on a specific-identification basis for customer accounts receivable over a specific balance threshold and on a statistically derived allowance basis for the remainder. No customer accounts receivable balances are written off directly to bad debt expense.

9. Financial instruments
General
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and certain provisions approximate their fair values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying value of our provision for written put options is measured at the present value of the estimated future redemption amounts.
The fair values of the derivative financial instruments we use to manage our exposure to currency risks are estimated based upon quoted market prices in active markets for the same or similar financial instruments or on the current rates offered to us for financial instruments of the same maturity, as well as discounted future cash flows determined using current rates for similar financial instruments subject to similar risks and maturities (such fair value estimates being largely based on the European euro: US$ and Philippine peso: US$ forward exchange rates as at the statement of financial position dates).
Derivative
The derivative financial instruments that we measure at fair value on a recurring basis subsequent to initial recognition are as set out in the following table; all such items use significant other observable inputs (Level 2) for measuring fair value at the reporting date.

(b)    Business acquisitions
WillowTree
On January 3, 2023, we acquired 86% of the equity interest of WillowTree, a full-service digital product provider focused on end user experiences, such as native mobile applications and unified web interfaces. Certain WillowTree management team members retained approximately 14% of the total equity interest in WillowTree, and were granted written put options related to
13


this retained equity interest that are exercisable in tranches over a three-year period beginning in 2026. These written put options are subject to certain performance-based criteria tied to the WillowTree business, including compounded annual revenue growth rate and cumulative gross margin targets, and may be settled in cash or, at our option, a combination of cash and up to 70% in TELUS International subordinate voting shares. Concurrent with this acquisition, WillowTree management team members provided us with purchase call options, which substantially mirror the written put options. As a result of these purchase call options and written put options, we determined that the non-controlling interest held by the WillowTree management team members would be recognized as a financial liability in the form of provisions for the written put options. The provisions for the written put options were measured at the date of acquisition based on the present value of the estimated future redemption amounts.
The total purchase consideration for WillowTree was $1,174 million, net of assumed debt of WillowTree, comprising of $855 million in cash, $125 million of our subordinate voting shares, and $194 million in provisions for the written put options. Transaction costs for the acquisition were expensed as incurred.
The acquisition of WillowTree qualified as a business combination and was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the results of WillowTree have been included in our condensed interim consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition on January 3, 2023.
The acquisition brings key talent and diversity to our portfolio of next generation solutions, and further augments our digital consulting and client-centric software development capabilities. The primary factor that gives rise to the recognition of goodwill on this acquisition was the earnings capacity of the acquired business in excess of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired (such excess arising from the low level of tangible assets relative to the earnings capacity of the business). A portion of the amounts assigned to goodwill are deductible for income tax purposes.
As at June 30, 2023, the acquisition purchase price allocation was provisional, primarily in respect of customer contracts, related customer relationships and deferred income taxes, and subject to adjustments as we finalize our determination of fair value.
During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, WillowTree generated revenue of $45 million and $103 million, respectively, and net loss of $31 million and $51 million, respectively, which included amortization of intangible assets and interest expense on incremental borrowings on our credit facility, both arising from this transaction. As the acquisition closed on January 3, 2023, had the acquisition closed on January 1, 2023, our consolidated revenue and net (loss) income would have been the same.
WillowTree revenue
We recognize the WillowTree revenue by applying IFRS 15, Revenue from contracts with customers. Customer contracts are generally based on fees earned per-productive hour, where revenues are recognized as services are provided, or fixed-fee contracts, where revenues are estimated and recognized over-time using the input method. We apply the input method for WillowTree revenue by identifying each performance obligation at the inception of a customer contract, and recognize revenue based on costs incurred toward the satisfaction of each performance obligation relative to the total expected costs required to satisfy that performance obligation. Costs incurred are generally labor hours expended. When there are multiple performance obligations in a customer contract, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on relative stand-alone selling prices.
Other acquisitions
During the six month period ended June 30, 2023, we completed the acquisition of two businesses which expanded our customer experience operations into Morocco and South Africa, for total purchase consideration of $2 million (comprised of $1 million cash and $1 million in provisions), in exchange for net identifiable assets of $2 million. No goodwill was recognized.
As part of one of these acquisitions, we provided a performance earn-out to certain employees, subject to continued employment, with a maximum payout of approximately $7 million and payable in fiscal 2025, which may be settled in cash or, at our option, TELUS International subordinate voting shares (see Note 4(c)—Share-based compensation—Other).
During both the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, other acquisitions generated revenue of $1 million and net (loss) income of $nil. Had the acquisitions closed on January 1, 2023, during both the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, revenue would have increased by $1 million and net (loss) income would have been the same.

(a)    Credit facility
In connection with our acquisition of WillowTree on January 3, 2023 (see Note 11(b)—Intangible assets and goodwill—Business acquisitions), we amended and expanded our existing credit facility to an aggregate $2.0 billion credit facility, consisting of an $800 million revolving credit facility and an amortizing $1.2 billion term loan. The amended credit facility is secured by our assets with a syndicate of financial institutions, which includes TELUS Corporation as a lender, maturing on January 3, 2028. Upon closing this acquisition, we borrowed an aggregate of $963 million on the amended credit facility (comprised of $363 million from the revolving credit facility and $600 million from the term loan), to partially fund the WillowTree acquisition, repay a portion of long-term debt assumed in the transaction, and settle certain transaction costs incurred by WillowTree. As at June 30, 2023, the revolving credit facility and term loan had an effective interest rate of 7.20% (December 31, 2022 - 6.67%).

1.In the first quarter of 2023, we entered into a receive-floating interest rate, pay-fixed interest rate exchange agreement that effectively converts a portion of our interest obligations on the debt to a fixed rate of 3.52% plus applicable margins.
The amended credit facility bears interest at prime rate, U.S. dollar base rate, a bankers’ acceptance rate or Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) (all such terms as used or defined in the amended credit facility) plus applicable margins. The amended credit facility contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including two financial quarter-end ratio tests. Net Debt to EBITDA ratio must not exceed 4.25:1.00 for each quarter in fiscal 2023, 3.75:1.00 for each quarter in fiscal 2024 and 3.25:1.00 subsequently. The EBITDA to Debt Service (interest and scheduled principal repayment) ratio must not be less than 1.50:1.00, all as defined in the credit facility. If an acquisition with an aggregate cash consideration in excess of $250 million occurs in any twelve-month period, the maximum permitted Net Debt to EBITDA ratio per credit agreement may be increased by 0.50:1.00 and shall return to the then applicable Net Debt to EBITDA ratio after eight fiscal quarters.
The term loan of the amended credit facility is subject to an amortization schedule requiring that 1.25% of the original principal advanced be repaid each quarter beginning on June 30, 2023, with the balance due at maturity of the amended credit facility on January 3, 2028.
As at June 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all financial covenants, financial ratios and all of the terms and conditions of our amended credit facility and long-term debt agreement.

15. Contingent liabilities
(a)Indemnification obligations
In the normal course of operations, we provide indemnification in conjunction with certain transactions. The terms of these indemnification obligations range in duration. These indemnifications would require us to compensate the indemnified parties for costs incurred as a result of failure to comply with contractual obligations or litigation claims or statutory sanctions or damages that may be suffered by an indemnified party. In some cases, there is no maximum limit on these indemnification obligations. The overall maximum amount of an indemnification obligation will depend on future events and conditions and therefore cannot be reasonably estimated. Where appropriate, an indemnification obligation is recorded as a liability. Other than obligations recorded as liabilities at the time of such transactions, historically we have not made significant payments under these indemnifications. As at June 30, 2023, we had no liability recorded in respect of indemnification obligations (December 31, 2022 - $nil).
(b)Claims and lawsuits
We are party to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. The ultimate outcome of these matters is inherently uncertain. Therefore, if one or more of these matters were resolved against us for amounts in excess of management's estimates of loss, or if any outcome becomes more likely than not and estimable, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Recurring transactions
As at, and during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, there were no balances due to or due from, or recurring transactions with BPEA EQT (December 31, 2022 – $nil).

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
The following is a discussion of the financial condition and financial performance of TELUS International (Cda) Inc. (TELUS International, TI, or the Company) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and is dated August 4, 2023. This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and financial performance should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and the audited annual consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the risk factors identified under “Item 3D—Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022 (Annual Report) filed with the SEC at www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, as such risk factors are updated herein. This discussion is presented in U.S. dollars, except where otherwise indicated and based on financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The GAAP that we use are the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), which might differ in material respects from accounting principles generally accepted in other jurisdictions, including the United States.
Information contained in this discussion, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. By their nature, forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and are based on assumptions, including assumptions about future economic conditions, events and courses of action, many of which we do not control. These assumptions may ultimately prove to have been inaccurate and, as a result, our actual results or events may differ materially from expectations expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. You should review the section at the end of this discussion entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” and the risk factors identified under “Item 3D—Risk Factors” in our Annual Report for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results projected, described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion. In our discussion, we also use certain non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios to evaluate our performance, monitor compliance with debt covenants and manage our capital structure. These measures are defined, qualified and reconciled with the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Non-GAAP Ratios” section below.
Overview of the Business
We are a leading digital customer experience (CX) innovator that designs, builds and delivers next-generation solutions, including AI and content moderation, for global and disruptive brands. Our services support the full lifecycle of our clients’ digital transformation journeys and enable them to more quickly embrace next-generation digital technologies to deliver better business outcomes. We work with our clients to shape their digital vision and strategies, design scalable processes and identify opportunities for innovation and growth. We bring to bear expertise in advanced technologies and processes, as well as a deep understanding of the challenges faced by all of our clients, including some of the largest global brands, when engaging with their customers. Over the last 18 years, we have built comprehensive, end-to-end capabilities with a mix of industry and digital technology expertise to support our clients in their customer experience and digital enablement transformations.
TELUS International was born out of an intense focus on customer service excellence, continuous improvement and a values-driven culture under the ownership of TELUS Corporation, a leading communications and information technology company in Canada. Since our founding, we have made a number of significant organic investments and acquisitions, with the goal of better serving our growing portfolio of global clients. We have expanded our agile delivery model to access highly qualified talent in multiple geographies, including Asia-Pacific, Central America, Europe and North America, and developed a broader set of complex, digital-centric capabilities.
We believe our ability to help clients realize better business outcomes begins with the talented team members we dedicate to supporting our clients because customer experience delivered by empathetic, highly skilled and engaged teams is key to providing a high-quality brand experience. We have a unique and differentiated culture that places people and a shared set of values at the forefront of everything we do. Over the past decade, we have made a series of investments in our people predicated upon the core philosophy that our “caring culture” drives sustainable team member engagement, retention and customer satisfaction.

We have built comprehensive, end-to-end capabilities with a mix of industry and digital technology expertise to support our clients in their customer experience and digital enablement journeys. Our services support the full scope of our clients’ digital transformations and enable clients to more quickly embrace next-generation digital technologies to deliver better business outcomes. We provide strategy and innovation, next-generation technology and information technology (IT) services, and CX process and delivery solutions to fuel our clients’ growth. Our highly skilled and empathetic team members together with our deep expertise in customer experience processes, next-generation technologies and expertise within our industry verticals are core to our success. We combine these with our ability to discover, analyze and innovate with new digital technologies in our centres of excellence to continuously evolve and expand our solutions and services.
We have built an agile delivery model with global scale to support next-generation, digitally-led customer experiences. Substantially all of our delivery locations are connected through a carrier-grade infrastructure backed by cloud technologies, enabling globally distributed and virtualized teams. The interconnectedness of our teams and ability to seamlessly shift interactions between physical and digital channels enables us to tailor our delivery strategy to clients’ evolving needs. As at June 30, 2023, we have over 76,000 team members in 70 delivery locations and global operations across 32 countries.
Our delivery locations are strategically selected based on a number of factors, including access to diverse, skilled talent, proximity to clients and ability to deliver our services over multiple time zones and in multiple languages. We have established a presence in key global markets, which supply us with qualified, cutting-edge technology talent and have been recognized as an employer of choice in many of these markets. In addition, TELUS International AI Data Solutions (TIAI) (which was formed with the data annotation business we acquired from Lionbridge Technologies Inc. at the end of 2020, and the 2D, 3D and computer vision data annotation capabilities we obtained through our acquisition of Playment in 2021) utilizes the services of crowdsourced contractors that are geographically dispersed across the globe.
The acquisition of WillowTree, described further below under the section titled “Recent Developments—WillowTree Acquisition” and in “Item 4B—Business Overview—About WillowTree and the acquisition” in our Annual Report, resulted in the addition of over 1,000 team members and operations in 13 delivery locations, and expanded our number of countries with operations by two.
Today, our clients include companies across multiple verticals, including Tech and Games, Communications and Media, eCommerce and FinTech, Banking, Financial Services and Insurance, and Healthcare. Our relationship with TELUS Corporation, our largest client and controlling shareholder, has been instrumental to our success. TELUS Corporation provides us access to revenue visibility, stability and growth, as well as strategic partnership for co-innovation within our Communications and Media and Healthcare industry verticals. Our master services agreement with TELUS Corporation (TELUS MSA) provides for a term of ten years beginning in January 2021 and a minimum annual spend of $200 million, subject to adjustment in accordance with its terms. For more information, see “Item 7B—Related Party Transactions—Our Relationship with TELUS—Master Services Agreement” in our Annual Report.
Recent Developments
On January 3, 2023, we acquired 86% of the equity interest of WillowTree, a full-service digital product provider focused on end user experiences, such as native mobile applications and unified web interfaces. The total purchase consideration for WillowTree was $1,174 million, net of assumed debt of WillowTree, comprising of $855 million in cash, $125 million of our subordinate voting shares, and $194 million in provisions for the written put options. In connection with the acquisition, certain WillowTree management team members retained approximately 14% of the total equity interest in WillowTree, and were granted written put options related to this retained equity interest that are exercisable in tranches over a three-year period beginning in 2026. These written put options are subject to certain performance-based criteria tied to the WillowTree business, including compounded annual revenue growth rate and cumulative gross margin targets, and may be settled in cash or, at our option, a combination of cash and up to 70% in our subordinate voting shares (see Note 11(b)—Intangible assets and goodwill—Business acquisitions in our condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 for additional details on the acquisition).
In connection with the WillowTree acquisition, we amended and expanded our existing credit facility to an aggregate $2 billion credit facility, consisting of an $800 million revolving credit facility and an amortizing $1.2 billion in term loan maturing in five years (see Note 13(a)—Long-term debt—Credit facility in our condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 for additional details on the amended credit facility).

Factors Affecting Our Performance and Related Trends
A comprehensive list of risk factors that may impact our business performance is included under section “Item 3D-Risk Factors” in our Annual Report. We believe that the key factors affecting our business and financial performance include:
Our Ability to Expand and Retain Existing Client Relationships and Attract New Clients
We have a diverse base of clients, including leaders and disruptors across the industry verticals we serve. Through our commitment to customer experience and innovation, we have been able to sustain long-term partnerships with many clients, often expanding our relationship through multiple service offerings that we provide through a number of delivery locations.
To grow our revenue, we seek to continue to increase the number and scope of service offerings we provide to our existing clients. In addition, our continued revenue growth will depend on our ability to win new clients. We seek to partner with prospective clients that value premium digital IT and customer experience solutions and services.
Our ability to maintain and expand relationships with our clients, as well as to attract new clients, will depend on a number of factors, including: our ability to maintain a “customers-first” culture across our organization; our level of innovation, expertise and retention of team member talent; a consistently high level of service experience, as evidenced by, among others measures, the satisfaction ratings that our clients receive from their customers based on the services we provide; the technological advantages we offer; and our positive reputation, as a result of our corporate social responsibility initiatives and otherwise.
Our Ability to Attract and Retain Talent
As at June 30, 2023, we have over 76,000 team members located across 32 countries in various geographic regions, servicing clients in over 50 languages. In addition, our TIAI business utilizes the services of a crowd-sourced provider base that is geographically dispersed across the globe.
Ensuring that our team members feel valued and engaged is integral to our performance, as our team members enable us to provide our unique, “customer-first” and caring culture to our clients’ customers, which has driven our strong client retention, higher satisfaction scores and overall better experience for our clients’ customers. This has, in part, been responsible for our growth and differentiation in the marketplace, enabling us to enhance our existing client relationships and build new ones. As a result, we make significant investments to attract, select, retain and develop talent across our product and service offerings. We have devoted, and will continue to devote, substantial resources to creating engaging, inspiring, world-class physical workplaces; recruiting; cultivating talent selection proficiencies and proprietary methods of performance measurement; growing employee engagement including rewards and development; supporting our corporate sustainability initiatives; and acquiring new talent and capabilities to meet our clients’ evolving needs. Our ability to attract and retain team member talent will depend on a number of factors, including our ability to: compete for talent with competitive service providers in the geographies in which we operate; provide innovative compensation packages and benefits to our team members; retain and integrate talent from our acquisitions; and meet or exceed evolving expectations related to corporate sustainability.
Impact of Inflation, Higher Interest Rates, and Slower Economic Growth
The global economy has entered into a period of uncertainty with respect to inflation, higher interest rates and slower economic growth and some regions may experience a recessionary period and we cannot predict how long such conditions may last or what their ultimate impact may be on our business. Global economic conditions may adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition, and the liquidity and financial condition of our clients, increase the cost of borrowing and cause credit to become more limited, limit our ability to access financing or increase our cost of financing to meet liquidity needs or fund acquisitions, and affect the ability of our clients to use credit to purchase our services or to make timely payments to us, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, financial performance and cash flows. Changes in the general level of economic activity, such as decreases in business and consumer spending, could result in pricing pressure on our services and a decrease or delay in demand for the products and services that our clients provide to their customers, and in turn, our clients’ demand for our own services. In addition, because the majority of our costs is fixed in the short-term, we may experience a temporary delay in our ability to immediately right-size our cost structure in response to lower client demand. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, persistent global macroeconomic pressures have led to certain of our clients aggressively cutting their costs, which resulted in reductions and delays in demand for our services, including from some of our larger technology clients and particularly in Europe, as well as delays in converting opportunities into spend commitments, all of which reduced, and could continue to reduce, our revenues and profitability. We cannot predict the ultimate duration or scale of such demand reductions, delays and reduced growth from new clients, or the ultimate impact of
5


these factors on our business. Continuing reduction or delay in demand from existing or potential clients could continue to reduce our revenue and profitability and factor into our decisions on workforce management.
Inflationary pressures have, and could continue to, drive up wage costs in many of the countries where we operate and we are not always able to, and may not be able to in the future, control such wage increases or pass them on to our clients in full or in significant part. In connection with potential future growth and inflation, as well as unexpected increases in the complexity of work, we may need to retain team members or increase our team member compensation more rapidly than in the past to remain competitive in attracting and retaining the quality and number of team members that our business requires, even if we are unable to increase the prices of our services. To the extent that we are not able to control or sufficiently share wage increases with our clients, wage increases may continue to reduce our margins and cash flows.
Industry Trends
The industry trends affecting us and that may have an impact on our future performance and financial performance include the trends described in “Item 4B—Business Overview—Industry Background” in our Annual Report.
Seasonality
Our financial results may vary from period to period during any year. The seasonality in our business, and consequently, our financial performance, generally mirrors that of our clients. Our revenues are typically higher in the third and fourth quarters than in other quarters, excluding material changes to our clients operating environment, such as potential impacts of a recession and our clients response to those impacts, or material changes in the foreign currency rates that we operate in.
Foreign Currency Fluctuations
While our primary operating currency is the U.S. dollar, we are also party to revenue contracts denominated in the European euro and other currencies and a significant portion of our operating expenses are incurred in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Movements in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and these other currencies have an impact on our financial results. The tables below outline revenue and expenses by currency and the percentage of each of the total revenue and expenses for each period.

1.Adjusted Net Income, Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted EBITDA, and Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted Basic Earnings per Share, Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Gross Profit Margin and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin are non-GAAP ratios. These non-GAAP financial measures and ratios do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers. See section Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Non-GAAP Ratios for a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
Revenue
We earn revenue pursuant to contracts with our clients that generally take the form of a master services agreement (MSA), or other service contracts. MSAs, which are framework agreements with terms generally ranging from three to five years, with the vast majority having a term of three years, are supplemented by statements of work (SOWs) that identify the specific services to be provided and the related pricing for each service. There are a number of factors that impact the pricing of the services identified in each SOW or service contract, including, but not limited to, the nature and scope of services being provided, service levels and, under certain of our MSAs, our ability to share, to a certain extent, our higher costs of services and foreign exchange risk arising from currency fluctuations. The majority of our revenue is earned based on a time and materials billing model.
Most of our contracts, other than with TELUS Corporation, do not commit our clients to a minimum annual spend or to specific volume of services. Although the contracts we enter into with our clients provide for terms that range from three to five years, the arrangements may be terminated by our clients for convenience with limited notice and without payment of a penalty or termination fee. Additionally, our clients may also delay, postpone, cancel or reduce the volume of certain of the services we provide without canceling the whole contract. Many of our contracts contain provisions that would require us to pay penalties to our clients and/or provide our clients with the right to terminate the contract if we do not meet pre-agreed service level requirements.
From period to period, the fluctuation in our revenue is primarily a function of changes to existing SOWs, new SOWs with existing clients, MSAs signed with new clients, and the impact of foreign exchange on non-U.S. dollar-denominated contracts. While we provide a discussion and analysis of our results of operations below, we are unable to quantify the effects of changes in price or volume in relation to our revenue growth. We do not track standard measures of a per-unit rate or volume, since our measures of price and volume are extremely complex. Each of our customers is unique, with varying needs and requirements that span our diverse services offerings, which is reflected in a customized services contract and pricing model that does not fit into standard comparability measurements. Revenue for our services is a function of the nature of each specific service to be provided as specified by each client, the geographical region where the service is to be performed, the skills required and/or the outcome sought, estimated costs to perform, contract terms and other factors.
Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Our revenue increased by $43 million, or 7%, to
$667 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023, of which $45 million was from WillowTree, and excluding WillowTree, our revenue was $622 million, a decrease of $2 million or less than 1%. The decrease was due to a reduction in service volumes from some of our larger clients delivered primarily out of Europe, particularly our technology clients, as well as a global financial institution client. Revenue growth was not materially impacted by changes in foreign currency rates during the second quarter of 2023.
Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Our revenue increased by $130 million, or 11%, to
$1,353 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, of which $103 million was from WillowTree, and excluding WillowTree, our revenue was $1,250 million, an increase of $27 million, or 2%, which included an unfavorable foreign currency impact of approximately 1% due to the lower average EUR:USD exchange rate associated with the strengthening
U.S. dollar against the European euro in the current six-month period, as compared to the average exchange rate in the comparative six-month period ended June 30, 2022. The increase was due to growth in services provided to existing clients as well as new clients added since the prior year’s comparative period. Revenue from our top 10 clients for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was 61%, compared to 63% in the comparative period.

During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we had three customers which each individually accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenue. TELUS Corporation, our controlling shareholder and largest client during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, accounted for 19.3% of our revenue (June 30, 2022 - 15.9%). Our second largest client during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, a leading social media company, accounted for 12.2% of our revenue (June 30, 2022 - 16.6%). Google, our third largest client during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, accounted for 11.5% of our revenue (June 30, 2022 - 11.4%).
We deliver tailored solutions to a diverse set of clients active in various verticals from our delivery locations around the world. However, these services are marketed, sold and delivered to clients in an integrated manner in order to provide a unified, seamless sales and delivery experience. Our chief operating decision maker reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for the purposes of evaluating financial performance and making resource allocation decisions. Accordingly, we report our results and manage our business as a single operating and reporting segment.
We earn revenue pursuant to contracts with our clients, who operate in various industry verticals. The following table presents our earned revenue disaggregation for our five largest industry verticals:

During each of the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, revenue generated from the Tech and Games industry vertical increased 3% due to continued growth experienced with a number of our technology clients and the addition of new clients, which was partially offset by lower revenue from our second-largest client. Revenue generated from the Communications and Media industry vertical grew 10% for both periods due to higher revenue from TELUS Corporation and the addition of new clients from our acquisition of WillowTree. Revenue generated from the eCommerce and FinTech industry vertical decreased 14% and 7%, respectively, due to a decline in service volumes from FinTech clients. Banking, Financial Services and Insurance industry vertical decreased 26% and 2%, respectively, due to lower service volumes from a global financial institution client, partially offset by the addition of new clients from our acquisition of WillowTree. Increases in our Healthcare industry vertical were primarily due to additional services provided to the healthcare business unit of TELUS Corporation. Across all of our verticals, the reported revenue growth rates for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 were not materially impacted by foreign currency movements, while the reported revenue growth rates for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were negatively impacted by unfavorable EUR:USD currency movements, compared to the six-month period in the prior year, as discussed earlier.
We serve our clients, who are primarily domiciled in North America and Europe, from multiple delivery locations across various geographic regions. In addition, our TIAI clients are largely supported by crowdsourced contractors that are globally dispersed and not limited to the physical locations of our delivery centres. In general, revenue growth in each geographic region, excluding Europe, corresponds with the overall growth of the business and our consolidated revenue. The decline in revenue in Europe for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to lower service volumes from our technology clients serviced from this region. The table below presents the revenue generated in each geographic region, based on the location of our delivery centres or where the services were provided from, for the periods presented.

Salaries and benefits
The principal components of salaries and benefits expense include all compensation and benefits, excluding share-based compensation, paid to our front-line and administrative employees.
Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Salaries and benefits increased by $71 million, or 20%, to $427 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 due to higher team member count, investments in our team members through increased average employee salaries and wages, and temporarily disproportionate higher costs of service delivery in certain regions, principally in Europe, due in part to the longer lead time necessary to implement ramp-down and other cost rationalization activities resulting from the reduction in service volume demands from some of our larger clients, particularly our technology clients. Salaries and benefits as a percentage of revenue increased to 64% in the current three-month period, compared to 57% in the prior year’s comparative period. Total team member count was 76,594 at June 30, 2023 compared to 69,218 at June 30, 2022.
Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Salaries and benefits increased by $157 million, or 22%, to $855 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, due to higher team member count, investments in our team members through increased average employee salaries and wages, and the temporary disproportionate higher costs of service delivery, principally in Europe, as described above. Salaries and benefits as a percentage of revenue increased to 63% in the current six-month period, compared to 57% in the prior year’s comparative period.
Goods and services purchased
Goods and services purchased include items such as software licensing costs that are required to support our operations, contracted labor costs, sales and marketing expenses associated with promoting and selling our services, compliance expenses such as legal and audit fees and business taxes, other IT expenditures, bad debt expenses and facility expenses.
Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Goods and services purchased increased by $2 million, or 2%, to $120 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to additional goods and services purchased arising from the acquisition of WillowTree, partially offset by lower dependency on external contractors in favor of continued development and investment in internal capabilities.
Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Goods and services purchased decreased by $10 million, or 4%, to $223 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was due to lower dependency on external contractors in favor of continued development and investment in internal capabilities, the reduction of certain sales tax reserves based on our recent collection experience, as well as the impact of the lower average EUR:USD exchange rate, which were partially offset by additional goods and services purchased in relation to WillowTree.

Share-based compensation
Share-based compensation relates to restricted share unit awards and share option awards granted to employees. These awards include both liability-accounted awards, which requires a mark-to-market revaluation against our share price, and equity-settled awards.
Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Share-based compensation decreased by $5 million to $2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to a downward revision in the estimated non-market performance conditions on certain equity-settled awards, resulting in a partial reversal of share-based compensation expense on these awards.
Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Share-based compensation increased by $2 million to $16 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to the prior year’s comparative six months ended June 30, 2022 benefiting from a downward mark-to-market adjustment on liability-accounted awards, resulting from a lower average share price of TELUS International. Share-based compensation expense during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to equity-settled awards, which unlike liability-accounted awards, are not subject to mark-to-market adjustments based on changes in the share price of TELUS International.
Acquisition, integration and other
Acquisition, integration and other is comprised primarily of costs related to our business acquisitions, including transaction costs and integration activities, which could vary from year to year depending on the volume, nature and complexity of the transactions completed in each fiscal year. We also, from time to time, incur costs associated with streamlining our operations, including ongoing and incremental efficiency initiatives, which may include personnel-related costs and rationalization of real estate. Other costs may also include external costs that are unusual in their nature or significance, such as adverse litigation judgments or regulatory decisions, and other costs that do not contribute normally to the earning of revenues.
Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Acquisition, integration and other increased by
$15 million to $21 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023,
primarily due to expenses associated with cost efficiency efforts, principally in Europe, including staff reductions to address lower service volumes from our technology clients.
Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Acquisition, integration and other increased by
$27 million to $37 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to expenses associated with cost efficiency efforts as described above, as well as transaction and integration costs associated with our WillowTree acquisition.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization includes depreciation of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use leased assets as well as amortization expense for software and intangible assets recognized primarily in connection with acquisitions.
Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Depreciation and amortization increased by $17 million to $81 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to capital and intangible assets acquired as part of the WillowTree acquisition, as well as increased investments in capital and intangible assets over the previous 12 months.
Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Depreciation and amortization increased by $31 million to $160 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to capital and intangible assets acquired as part of the WillowTree acquisition, as well as increased investments in capital and intangible assets.
Interest expense
Interest expense includes interest expense on short-term and long-term borrowings and on our lease liabilities, and interest accretion on our provisions for written put options.
Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Interest expense increased by $26 million to $36 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, which was primarily due to higher debt levels associated with the WillowTree acquisition, higher average interest rates, and interest accretion recognized on the provisions for written put options associated with the WillowTree acquisition.
11


Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Interest expense increased by $50 million to $69 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, which was primarily due to higher debt levels, higher average interest rates, and interest accretion recognized on the provisions for written put options associated with the WillowTree acquisition.
Foreign exchange
Foreign exchange is comprised of gains and losses recognized on certain derivatives, as well as foreign exchange gains and losses recognized on the revaluation and settlement of foreign currency transactions. See “Item 11—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Foreign Currency Risk” in our Annual Report for a discussion of our hedging programs.
Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Foreign exchange gain was $3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to a foreign exchange gain of $14 million in the prior year’s comparative period, reflecting the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates in the currencies in which we transact.
Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Foreign exchange gain was $2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to a foreign exchange gain of $14 million in the prior year’s comparative period, reflecting the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates in the currencies in which we transact.

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Income tax (recovery) expense decreased by $31 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023, resulting in an income tax recovery of $10 million, compared to an income tax expense of $21 million in the prior year’s comparative period. The effective tax rate increased from 27.3% to 58.8%, primarily due to an increase in adjustments recognized in the current period for income tax of prior periods related to a favorable income tax settlement and due to the lower income (loss) before tax relative to prior year’s comparative period.
Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Income tax (recovery) expense decreased by $56 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, resulting in an income tax recovery of $12 million, compared to an income tax expense of $44 million in the prior year’s comparative period. The effective tax rate increased from 32.8% to 240.0%, which was primarily due to the lower income (loss) before tax relative to prior year’s comparative period. Other contributing factors include a change in income mix, where less income was earned in higher tax jurisdiction, and adjustments recognized in the current period for income tax of prior periods related to a favorable income tax settlement.
Net (loss) income
Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Net (loss) income decreased by $63 million to a net loss of
$7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023, which was driven by higher operating expenses, higher interest expense, and a lower foreign exchange gain compared to the prior year’s comparative period, outpacing revenue growth and lower income taxes. Net (loss) income margin, calculated by dividing net income by revenue for the period, was a net loss margin of 1.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to a net income margin of 9.0% in the prior year’s comparative period.
Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Net income decreased by $83 million to $7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, which was driven by higher operating expenses, higher interest expense, and a lower foreign exchange gain in the period, outpacing revenue growth and lower income taxes. Net income margin was 0.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 7.4% in the prior year’s comparative period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Non-GAAP Ratios
We regularly review the non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios presented below to evaluate our operating performance and analyze underlying business results and trends. We use these non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios to manage our business by establishing budgets and operational goals against these measures. We also use these non-GAAP financial measures to monitor compliance with debt covenants, which are based on the same or similar financial metrics, and manage our capital structure. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios provide investors with a consistent basis on which to evaluate our operating performance with our comparative period results, and additionally provide supplemental information to the financial measures and ratios that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation for each non-GAAP financial measure to the nearest GAAP measure is provided below. These non-GAAP financial measures or non-GAAP ratios may not be comparable to GAAP measures or ratios and may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures or non-GAAP ratios reported by other companies, including those within our industry and TELUS Corporation, our controlling shareholder. Consequently, our non-GAAP measures and ratios should not be evaluated in isolation, but rather, should be considered together with the most directly comparable GAAP measure or ratio and our consolidated financial statements for the periods presented. The non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios we present in this discussion should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures or ratios determined or calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Basic Earnings per Share and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share.
Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP financial measure, and Adjusted Basic Earnings per Share and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share (EPS) are non-GAAP ratios. We regularly monitor Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Basic EPS and Adjusted Diluted EPS as they provide a consistent measure for management and investors to evaluate our period-over-period operating performance, to better understand our ability to manage operating costs and to generate profits. The following items are excluded from Adjusted Net Income as we believe they are driven by factors that are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance, including the interest accretion on written put options entered into in connection with our acquisition of WillowTree, acquisition, integration and other, share-based compensation, foreign exchange gains or losses and amortization of purchased intangible assets, and the related tax effect of these adjustments. Adjusted Basic EPS is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Income by the basic total weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Adjusted Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Income by the diluted total weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Adjusted Basic EPS and Adjusted Diluted EPS are non-GAAP ratios used by management to assess the profitability of our business operations on a per share basis.

1.Acquisition, integration and other is comprised primarily of business acquisition transaction costs and integration expenses associated with these acquisitions, and other restructuring activities. These costs do not form part of the costs to operate our ongoing operations, and may significantly fluctuate period-over-period depending on the size and timing of related acquisitions, and are not indicative of such costs in the future.
2.Share-based compensation relates to the expense of our share-based payment transactions. These include awards that are settled through shares issued from treasury and generally do not require any cash outlay by the Company, and awards that are subject to mark-to-market revaluation based on changes in our share price over periods spanning several fiscal years before eventual settlements. The mix of award types as well as the associated amounts and timing of share-based
13


compensation expense could vary significantly between reporting periods, and the variety of award types could be different from our industry peers. Accordingly, excluding this expense provides management and investors with greater visibility to the underlying performance of our business operations, facilitates a comparison of our results with other periods, and provides a relative measure of operating results as compared to our industry peers.
3.Interest accretion on written put options arises from our acquisition of WillowTree, and does not form part of the costs to conduct our ongoing operations.
4.Foreign exchange gains or losses arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates of the currencies we transact in, which are driven by macro-economic conditions that are generally not reflective of our underlying business operations.
5.Amortization of purchased intangible assets primarily relate to the amortization of acquired customer relationships, brand and crowdsource assets. Amortization of these intangible assets are excluded as it is a non-cash expense derived from purchase price allocations that incorporate significant and subjective valuation assumptions and estimates that are not comparable to the timing and investment had these assets been developed internally. We do not exclude the revenue generated by such purchased intangible assets from our revenues and, as a result, Adjusted Net Income includes revenue generated, in part, by such purchased intangible assets. 
Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Adjusted net income decreased $35 million, or 43%, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, due to the increase in salaries and benefits and interest expense outpacing revenue growth, and higher goods and services purchased, which were only partially offset by lower income taxes. These were driven by higher service delivery costs in certain regions, principally in Europe, and cost imbalances arising from reductions in service demand from some of our larger technology clients that were only partially offset by cost efficiency efforts realized during the quarter, and higher interest expense due to higher debt levels at higher average interest rates.
Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Adjusted net income decreased $28 million, or 19%, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, due to the increase in higher salaries and benefits and interest expense outpacing revenue growth which impacts were more significant in the second quarter of 2023, as described above, which were only partially offset by lower goods and services purchased and income taxes.
Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit, Gross Profit Margin, and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin. 
Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit are non-GAAP financial measures, and Gross Profit Margin and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin are non-GAAP ratios. We regularly monitor these financial measures to assess how efficiently we are servicing our clients and to monitor the growth in our direct costs in comparison to growth in revenue. We calculate Gross Profit by deducting operating expenses net of indirect and administrative expenses from revenue. Indirect and administrative expenses are comprised of indirect salaries and benefits and goods and services purchased associated with our administrative and corporate employees, share-based compensation, and acquisition, integration and other. We calculate Adjusted Gross Profit by excluding depreciation and amortization charges from Gross Profit, because the timing of the underlying capital expenditures and other investing activities do not correlate directly with the revenue earned in a given reporting period. We calculate Gross Profit Margin by taking Gross Profit divided by revenue, and we calculate Adjusted Gross Profit Margin by taking Adjusted Gross Profit divided by revenue.

Gross Profit Margin and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin decreased primarily due to higher service delivery costs and reductions in service demand which impacts were more significant in the second quarter of 2023, as described above.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. 
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is a non-GAAP ratio. We regularly monitor Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to evaluate our operating performance compared to established budgets, operational goals and the performance of industry peers. Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used by our industry peers and provides a measure for investors to compare and evaluate our relative operating performance. We use it to assess our ability to service existing and new debt facilities, and to fund accretive growth opportunities and acquisition targets. In addition, certain financial debt covenants associated with our credit facility are based on Adjusted EBITDA, which requires us to monitor this non-GAAP financial measure in connection with our financial covenants. Certain items are adjusted for the same reasons described above in Adjusted Net Income. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income in measuring our financial performance, and it should not be used as a replacement measure of current and future operating cash flows. However, we believe a financial measure that presents net income adjusted for these items would enable an investor to better evaluate our underlying business trends, our operational performance and overall business strategy. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by consolidated revenue.

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $30 million, or 20%, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, due to the increase in salaries and benefits outpacing revenue growth, and higher goods and services purchased. Profitability during the three months ended June 30, 2023 was impacted by cost imbalances arising from reductions in service demand, principally in Europe, from some of our larger technology clients, as well as higher service delivery costs in our AI business arising from higher task complexity, all of these impacts combined were only partially offset by cost efficiency efforts realized during the current quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2023 due to the aforementioned higher service delivery costs and changes in our revenue mix across industry verticals and geographic regions.
Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Adjusted EBITDA decreased $17 million, or 6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, due to the increase in salaries and benefits outpacing revenue growth, driven by the higher service delivery costs which impacts were more significant in the second quarter of 2023, as described above, which were partially offset by lower goods and services purchased. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased during the six months ended
June 30, 2023 due to the aforementioned higher service delivery costs and changes in our revenue mix across industry verticals and geographic regions.
Free Cash Flow.
Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. We calculate Free Cash Flow by deducting capital expenditures from cash provided by operating activities, as we believe capital expenditures are a necessary ongoing cost to maintain our existing productive capital assets and support our organic business operations. We use Free Cash Flow to evaluate the cash flows generated from our ongoing business operations that can be used to meet our financial obligations, service debt facilities, reinvest in our business, and to fund, in part, potential future acquisitions.

The decrease in Cash provided by operating activities was offset by lower capital expenditures.
Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, Cash provided by operating activities decreased $53 million, or 24%, and Free Cash Flow decreased $39 million, or 23%. The decrease was primarily due to higher net outflows from working capital arising from our acquisition of WillowTree, which included payments for transaction costs that we incurred to acquire the company, as well as the payments for transaction costs incurred by WillowTree prior to the acquisition that were assumed liabilities as part of the acquisition. Excluding these transaction costs, Free Cash Flow would have been $167 million, a decrease of $3 million, or 2%, compared to the prior year’s comparative period.

In the past eight quarters, historical increases in consolidated revenue reflect growth in our organic customer base, increases in new service programs provided to existing clients, and growth from acquisitions, including our acquisition of WillowTree on January 3, 2023. In the second quarter of 2023, we experienced a greater than expected reduction in service volume demand from some of our larger clients, particularly in Europe and among our larger technology clients. In addition, several of our key clients also moved to aggressively reduce their costs, which has created delays and near-term reductions in spend commitments.
Salaries and benefits expense increased with the increases in our team member base in order to service growing volumes from both our existing and new customers, including those arising from our acquisition of WillowTree, and increased wages over time.
Goods and services purchased reflect changes in external labor requirements to support the growth in our digital services business, changes in our crowd-sourced enabled workforce to support our AI business, increases in our software licensing costs associated with our growing team member base and increase in administrative expenses and facility costs to support overall business growth and acquisitions.
Share-based compensation fluctuates quarter-over-quarter, which generally reflects the timing of awards granted, and changes in the value of our equity and the impact of mark-to-market revaluation of liability-accounted awards. We shifted our share-based compensation grants to equity-settled awards starting in 2021, which we expect will generally result in less volatility in this expense over time as these awards are not subject to the mark-to-market revaluation impact of liability-accounted awards.
Acquisition, integration and other costs fluctuates quarter-over-quarter, and are dependent on the size of business acquisitions and the timing of associated transaction and integration costs, as well as costs associated with streamlining our operations, including ongoing and incremental cost efficiency efforts, which may include personnel-related costs.
17


Depreciation and amortization have increased over the past eight quarters due to growth in capital assets to support the expansion of our delivery sites required to service customer demand, and growth in intangible assets recognized in connection with business acquisitions, including our acquisition of WillowTree.
The trend in net (loss) income reflects the items noted above, as well as the relative mix of income among the geographic areas and the associated tax rates for the countries within those areas and varying amounts of foreign exchange gains or losses. In the second quarter of 2023, we recognized a net loss due to higher operating expenses and interest expense outpacing revenue growth and lower income taxes. Historically, the trend in basic (loss) earnings per share and diluted (loss) earnings per share have been impacted by the same trends as net (loss) income.
In TELUS International’s news release dated July 13, 2023, filed with the SEC on EDGAR and with the Canadian securities regulators on SEDAR, the full-year outlook for 2023 was updated.
Related Party Transactions
Recurring Transactions with TELUS Corporation
In 2021, we entered into an amended and restated TELUS MSA, which provide for a ten-year master services agreement and we also entered into a ten-year transition and shared services agreement with TELUS Corporation. Revenues earned pursuant to the TELUS MSA are recorded as revenue and fees incurred in connection with the shared services agreement for certain shared services provided to us are recorded as goods and services purchased.
The following table summarizes the transactions with TELUS and its subsidiaries:

We also participate in defined benefit pension plans that share risks between TELUS Corporation and its subsidiaries.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital resources
As at June 30, 2023, we had $468 million (December 31, 2022 - $1,383 million) of available liquidity, comprised of cash and cash equivalents of $143 million (December 31, 2022 - $125 million), and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility of $325 million (December 31, 2022 - $1,258 million) (see Note 13(a)—Long-term debt—Credit facility in our condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 for additional details). Our objective when managing capital is to maintain a flexible capital structure that optimizes the cost and availability of capital at acceptable risk levels.
In the management of capital and in its definition, we include owners’ equity (excluding accumulated other comprehensive income), long-term debt (including long-term credit facilities and any hedging assets or liabilities associated with long-term debt items, net of amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income) and cash and cash equivalents. We manage capital by monitoring the financial covenants prescribed in our credit facility. For additional information, see Note 13(a)—Long-term debt—Credit facility in our condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 for additional details.

We manage our capital structure and make adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of our business. In order to maintain or adjust our capital structure, we may issue new shares, issue new debt with different terms or characteristics which may be used to replace existing debt, or pay down our debt balance with cash flows from operations. We believe that our financial objectives are supportive of our long-term strategy.
We monitor capital utilizing the financial covenants prescribed in our credit facility agreements. As at June 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all of our covenants including maintaining a net debt to EBITDA ratio as calculated in accordance with the credit facility of less than 4.25:1.00. For additional information, see Note 13(a)—Long-term debt—Credit facility in our condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.
The following table presents a summary of our cash flows and ending cash balances for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Operating activities
Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, we generated cash from operating activities of $91 million, a decrease of $4 million from the prior year’s comparative period, which was primarily due to higher net inflows from working capital, partially offset by lower operating profits.
Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, we generated cash from operating activities of $171 million, a decrease of $53 million from the prior year’s comparative period, which was due to lower operating profits, as well as working capital outflows arising from our acquisition of WillowTree, which included payments for transaction costs that we incurred to acquire the company, as well as the payments for transaction costs incurred by WillowTree prior to the acquisition that were assumed liabilities as part of the acquisition.
Investing activities
Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, we used $25 million cash in investing activities, a decrease of $24 million compared to $49 million in the prior year’s comparative period, due to lower purchases of capital and other assets.
Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, we used $889 million cash in investing activities, an increase of $819 million compared to $70 million in the prior year’s comparative period, which was primarily due to the cash used to partially fund our acquisition of WillowTree.
Financing activities
Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, we used $65 million of cash in financing activities, compared to $79 million in the prior year’ comparative period, which was primarily due to lower net repayments on debt, partially offset by higher cash interest paid.
Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, $735 million of cash was provided from financing activities, compared to a use of $139 million of cash in financing activities in the prior year’s comparative period. This increase was primarily due to net borrowings under our credit facility to partially fund the acquisition of WillowTree, partially offset by higher cash interest paid.
19


Future Capital Requirements
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents combined with our expected cash flow from operations and liquidity available under our credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our projected operating and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months and we possess the financial flexibility to execute our strategic objectives, including the ability to make acquisitions and strategic investments in the foreseeable future. Our ability to generate cash, however, is subject to our performance, general economic conditions, industry trends and other factors. To the extent that existing cash and cash equivalents and operating cash flow are insufficient to fund our future activities and requirements, we may need to raise additional funds through equity or debt financing. If we raise funds through the issuance of additional debt, we may be subject to additional contractual restrictions on our business. There is no assurance that we would be able to raise additional funds on favorable terms or at all. See “Item 3D—Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—We may need to raise additional funds to pursue our growth strategy or continue our operations, and we may be unable to raise capital when needed or on acceptable terms, which could lead us to be unable to expand our business” in our Annual Report.
Net Debt and Adjusted EBITDA, both as per our credit agreement, are used to calculate our leverage ratio debt covenant (Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Leverage Ratio), as presented below. We seek to maintain a Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Leverage Ratio in the range of 2-3x. As of June 30, 2023, our Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Leverage Ratio was 3.0x. We may deviate from our target Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Leverage Ratio to pursue acquisitions and other strategic opportunities that may require us to borrow additional funds and, additionally, our ability to maintain this targeted ratio depends on our ability to continue to grow our business, general economic conditions, industry trends and other factors.
The following table presents a calculation of our Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Leverage Ratio as at June 30, 2023, compared to December 31, 2022.

Capital expenditures$25 $29 $40 $54 
Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Capital expenditures decreased by $4 million to $25 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in new facility capacity investments to align with customer demand, including lower facility build-out expenditures.
Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Capital expenditures decreased by $14 million to $40 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower expenditures on facility build-outs along with lower capital investments to align with customer demand.
Contractual Obligations
Our principal sources of liquidity are cash generated from operations, our available credit facility, and to a lesser extent, our cash and cash equivalents. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, our cash provided by operations was $171 million. As of June 30, 2023, available borrowings under the revolving credit facility of our amended credit facility were $325 million, and our cash and cash equivalents balance was $143 million.
Our primary uses of liquidity are cash used in our normal business operations such as employee compensation expense, goods and services purchased, and working capital requirements. In addition, we are required to meet the payment obligations under our credit facility and lease agreements. We expect that our cash flow from operations and our available cash and cash equivalents (including the revolving component of our credit facility) will be sufficient to meet our ongoing cash flow needs and operating requirements. The expected maturities of our undiscounted financial liabilities, excluding long-term-debt, do not differ significantly from the contractual maturities, other than as noted below. The contractual maturities of our undiscounted financial liabilities, as at June 30, 2023 including interest thereon (where applicable), are as set out in the following table:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any material obligations under guarantee contracts or other contractual arrangements other than as disclosed in Note 15—Contingent liabilities in the notes to our condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, and Note 17—Contingent liabilities in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in our Annual Report. We have not entered into any transactions with unconsolidated entities where we have financial guarantees, subordinated retained interests, derivative instruments, or other contingent arrangements that expose us to material continuing risks, contingent liabilities, or any other obligation under a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk, or credit risk support to us, or engages in leasing, hedging, or research and development services with us.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
Amounts drawn on our long-term debt facilities expose us to changes in interest rates. Holding other variables constant, including the total amount of outstanding indebtedness, a 25-basis-point increase in interest rates on our variable-rate debt would cause an estimated decrease in net income of approximately $3 million per year, based on the amounts outstanding as at June 30, 2023.
Foreign Currency Risk
Our consolidated financial statements are reported in U.S. dollars but our international operating model exposes us to foreign currency exchange rate changes that could impact the translation of foreign denominated assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars and future earnings and cash flows from transactions denominated in different currencies. The European euro is the foreign currency to which we currently have the largest exposure. The sensitivity analysis of our exposure to foreign currency risk at the reporting date has been determined based upon a hypothetical change taking place at the relevant statement of financial position date. The European euro, Canadian dollar and Philippine peso denominated balances as at the statement of financial position dates have been used in the calculations below.

We therefore face exchange rate risk through fluctuations in relative currency prices, which are unpredictable and costly to hedge. Appreciation of foreign currencies against the United States dollar will increase our cost of doing business and could adversely affect our business, financial condition or financial performance. Our foreign exchange risk management includes the use of swaps to manage the currency risk associated with European euro denominated inflows being used to service the United States dollar denominated debt, as well as foreign currency forward contracts to fix the exchange rates on short-term Philippine peso denominated transactions and commitments.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Scope Exemption
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, there were no changes in internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Scope Exemption
On January 3, 2023, we acquired WillowTree. We are currently in the process of evaluating and integrating WillowTree’s controls over financial reporting, which may result in changes or additions to our internal control over financial reporting. Under guidelines established by the SEC and in accordance with National Instrument 52‑109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings, companies are permitted to exclude acquisitions from their assessment of internal control over financial reporting during the first year of an acquisition while integrating the acquired company. In our assessment of the scope of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, we have excluded the controls, policies and procedures of WillowTree from the assessment of internal control over financial reporting at June 30, 2023. We will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting as we complete the integration of WillowTree.
From January 3, 2023 (the acquisition date) to June 30, 2023, WillowTree generated revenue of $103 million and net loss of $51 million, which included amortization of intangible assets and interest expense on incremental borrowings on our credit facility, both arising from this transaction. As at June 30, 2023, WillowTree’s current assets and current liabilities represented approximately 6% and 4% of TELUS International’s consolidated current assets and current liabilities, respectively, while WillowTree’s non-current assets (which included intangible assets and goodwill, both arising from the acquisition) and non-current liabilities (which included deferred income tax liabilities and incremental borrowings on our credit facility, both arising from the acquisition) represented approximately 32% and 54% of TELUS International’s consolidated non-current assets and non-current liabilities, respectively. Further details on the acquisition, including the amounts recognized for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as at the acquisition date are described in Note 11(b)—Intangible assets and goodwill—Business acquisitions in our condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three- and six-month periods ended
June 30, 2023.

ADOPTION AGREEMENT AND AMENDMENT TO COATTAIL AGREEMENT June 16, 2023 This Adoption Agreement and Amendment to Coattail Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of the date first written above, between TELUS Communications Inc., a company governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia (“TCI”), Riel B.V., a company governed by the laws of the Netherlands (“Baring”), Computershare Trust Company of Canada, a trust company incorporated under the laws of Canada (the “Trustee”), TELUS International (CDA) Inc., a company governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia (the “Company”), and TELUS Corporation (“TELUS”) and amends that certain Coattail Agreement (the “Coattail Agreement”) dated February 5, 2021 between TCI, Baring, the Trustee and the Company. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Coattail Agreement. WHEREAS, the Company previously entered into the Coattail Agreement to set forth certain agreements governing the relationship of the parties in relation to the Company; AND WHEREAS, on the date hereof, TCI transferred and assigned its holdings of shares in the capital of the Company to a wholly-owned subsidiary of TELUS, with the intention that the subsidiary and TELUS will amalgamate such that TELUS will become a holder of Multiple Voting Shares and, accordingly, the parties wish to evidence the adoption by TELUS of the Coattail Agreement and make certain corresponding adjustments. NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS: 1. TELUS hereby agrees to be a party to and bound by all of the terms, conditions, and other provisions of the Coattail Agreement as if TELUS were an original party thereto and shall be considered a “Shareholder” for all purposes of the Coattail Agreement. The parties to the Coattail Agreement acknowledge that TCI no longer owns any shares in the capital of the Company and that TELUS has agreed to assume the obligations of TCI under the Coattail Agreement. 2. References to “TELUS” in the Coattail Agreement shall be adjusted to refer to TELUS Corporation and its successors and assigns. 3. Except as amended hereby, the Coattail Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as originally constituted and is ratified and affirmed by the parties to this Agreement. 4.

(4) So long as the TELUS Group has the right to designate one or more Nominees under Section 3.2(1), the TELUS Group shall be entitled, but not obligated, to designate one TELUS Nominee for appointment to the Audit Committee, provided that such TELUS Nominee must be Independent.

(3) The Corporation will indemnify any Director to the fullest extent permitted by the Act. Nothing in this Agreement limits the right of any Director to claim indemnity apart from the provisions of this Agreement, if the Director is entitled to such indemnity. Section 3.8 Written Consent or Resolutions.

If TELUS fails to notify the Corporation of its decision within the specified time period, TELUS will be deemed to have declined the approval requested. (3) The approvals for a Significant Action required under Section 4.1(1) are in addition to any other approvals required by Law. In the event any shareholder approvals, other than the approvals required under Section 4.1(1), are required to make a decision about, take action on, or implement any of, the matters provided for in Section 4.1(1), including approving a proposed decision or action by special resolution (as such term is defined in the Act), each of TELUS and Baring, to the extent that it is not Disproportionately Adversely affected, will fully co-operate and vote in favour of and refrain from exercising any dissenters’ rights or rights of appraisal under any Law at any time with respect to, the proposed decision or action. Section 4.2 Removal of Chief Executive Officer. As long as the TELUS Group holds or exercises control or direction over at least 50% of the Proportionate Voting Interest in the outstanding Shares (on a non-diluted basis), TELUS shall be entitled to request the removal or dismissal of the Chief Executive Officer at any time. Upon the written request of TELUS in accordance with this Section 4.2, the Board agrees to take all action to remove the Chief Executive Officer as soon as practicable and appoint a replacement Chief Executive Officer, subject to the terms of any employment agreement between the Company and the Chief Executive Officer. ARTICLE 5 DISPOSITIONS Section 5.1 Cooperation and Right of First Offer. (1) Baring hereby agrees that, from and after the consummation of an IPO, subject to Section 5.1(6), Baring will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Shares, whether by


 
- 13 - registered offering, private sale, disposition over the facilities of a stock exchange or otherwise, in a single transaction or series of transactions (each, a “Sale Transaction”), without complying with the provisions of this Section 5.1. TELUS and Baring agree that the purpose of this Section 5.1 is to assist with an orderly transfer of Shares by Baring. Baring agrees to discuss in good faith with TELUS any intention it may have or it may form regarding any potential Sale Transactions that Baring may consider undertaking in the subsequent three month period. (2) If Baring wishes to undertake a Sale Transaction for gross proceeds in excess of $10 million, Baring will first provide written notice to TELUS of Baring’s desire to effect a Sale Transaction (the “Sale Notice”). The Sale Notice will specify: (a) the number of Shares that Baring proposes to include in the Sale Transaction (the “Disposition Shares”); and (b) the volume weighted average price of the applicable Shares traded on NYSE (or such other market or exchange on which the Shares are then listed or traded) for the five trading day period immediately preceding the Sale Notice (the “Per Share Offering Price”). The Sale Notice will also include an offer from Baring to sell the Disposition Shares to TELUS for cash at a price per Disposition Share equal to the Per Share Offering Price (such aggregate purchase price for the Disposition Shares, the “Aggregate Purchase Price”) and on the terms set forth in the Sale Notice. (3) Upon a Sale Notice being given by Baring, TELUS shall have the right to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Disposition Shares for cash at a price per Disposition Share equal to the Per Share Offering Price no later than the third Business Day following delivery of the Sale Notice. (4) To effect such a purchase, TELUS must, on or prior to the second Business Day following delivery of the Sale Notice (the “Notice Period”), give written notice to Baring (the “Acceptance Notice”), accepting the offer contained in the Sale Notice. If TELUS gives an Acceptance Notice within the Notice Period confirming its agreement to purchase, in aggregate, all of the Disposition Shares, TELUS and Baring shall consummate the sale of the Disposition Shares to TELUS, and TELUS shall pay to Baring the Aggregate Purchase Price in cash, no later than the seventh day following delivery of the Sale Notice. Any Disposition Shares sold to TELUS pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall be Multiple Voting Shares (to the extent permitted by applicable Law and the rules of any stock exchange on which the shares of the Company are listed) until Baring ceases to own any Multiple Voting Shares and, thereafter, any Disposition Shares sold to TELUS pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall be Subordinate Voting Shares. (5) If Baring does not receive an Acceptance Notice from TELUS within the Notice Period confirming TELUS’ agreement to purchase all of the Disposition Shares, or, if TELUS timely delivers an Acceptance Notice and fails to acquire the Disposition Shares and pay the Aggregate Purchase Price to Baring on or prior to the seventh day following delivery of the Sale Notice, TELUS’ right to purchase the Disposition Shares shall cease at the end of the Notice Period or at the end of the seventh day following the delivery of the Sale Notice, as applicable, and Baring, without limiting any remedies that may be available to Baring resulting from any failure of TELUS to timely acquire the Disposition Shares following TELUS’ delivery of an Acceptance Notice, may effect a Sale Transaction of the Disposition Shares to any person or entity, including the public, at any price, within six months after the expiry of the Notice Period. If the Disposition Shares are not sold within


 
- 14 - such six month period, the provisions of this Section 5.1 shall again apply to any proposed Sale Transaction, and so on from time to time. (6) This Section 5.1 shall apply for so long as the Baring Group owns, controls or directs, directly or indirectly, at least 10% of the Proportionate Voting Interest in the outstanding Shares (on a non-diluted basis). ARTICLE 6 CONFIDENTIALITY Section 6.1 Confidentiality Obligation. (1) Each Party will keep all Confidential Information (as defined below) confidential and will not disclose any Confidential Information to any Person or use any Confidential Information except as permitted by this Agreement. A Party may disclose Confidential Information to its employees and advisors but only to the extent that they need to know the Confidential Information, they have been informed of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and they are directed to act in accordance with this Section 6.1; provided, that, such Party shall be liable for any breach by its employees or advisors of this Section 6.1. “Confidential Information” means all proprietary, confidential and other non-public information, know-how and data, regardless of the manner in which it is furnished (orally, in writing, electronically or otherwise), relating to or concerning the disclosing Party or their respective businesses, directors, officers or employees (including without limitation, agreements to which any of such Persons is a party, information and material concerning the disclosing Party’s past, present or future customers, suppliers, technology, business methods, systems, practices, strategies, financial conditions, assets, liabilities, operations, plans, potential financings or transactions or other activities) that is furnished to the other Parties pursuant to this Agreement and/or the Registration Rights Agreement on or after the date of this Agreement. (2) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) TELUS and Baring may display the Corporation’s name and/or corporate logo on their respective websites and in their respective marketing materials and may publicly disclose the existence of their investment in the Corporation (including in response to press or trade inquiries) and such other information required to be disclosed in order to comply with Applicable Securities Laws; (b) TELUS may disclose such Confidential Information as it deems reasonably relevant to TELUS Corporation for the purpose of its reporting obligations to TELUS Corporation; and (c) Baring may disclose such Confidential Information as it deems reasonably relevant to its direct or indirect shareholders and investors for the purpose of its reporting obligations to such Persons or in connection with the solicitation of prospective investors that may invest in Baring or one or more of its Affiliates, provided that any such Confidential Information shall be marked as confidential and the Persons to whom such Confidential Information is disclosed are informed of their confidentiality obligations with respect to such Confidential Information. Section 6.2 Confidentiality Exceptions. The restrictions set out in Section 6.1 (Confidentiality Obligation) do not apply to Confidential Information or any part of it that (a) is or becomes generally available to the public


 
- 15 - other than as a result of a disclosure by a Party (other than the Person that owns such Confidential Information) in violation of this Agreement, (b) was within a Party’s possession prior to its being furnished to it by or on behalf of the Person who owns such Confidential Information, (c) is or becomes available to such Party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Person who owns such Confidential Information (provided that the source of such information was not known by such Party to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligations of confidentiality to, the Person who owns such Confidential Information), (d) is independently developed by such Party without violating any applicable obligations under this Agreement, (e) is required to be disclosed by Law (provided that if a Party becomes legally compelled or is required by a Governmental Entity having appropriate jurisdiction to disclose any of the Confidential Information, such Party shall (i) promptly provide the Corporation with written notice so that the Corporation may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Article 6, and (ii) cooperate with the Corporation to obtain a protective order or other remedy), or (f) is permitted in writing to be disclosed by the Person who owns such Confidential Information. Section 6.3 Ownership of Confidential Information. Nothing in this Agreement or in the disclosure of any Confidential Information will confer any interest in the Confidential Information on a receiving Party. The Parties share a common legal and commercial interest in all Confidential Information which is and remains subject to all applicable privileges, including solicitor-client privilege, anticipation of litigation privilege, work product privilege and privilege in respect of “without prejudice” communications. No waiver of any privilege is implied by the disclosure of Confidential Information to any Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. ARTICLE 7 DISPUTE RESOLUTION Section 7.1 Settling Disputes. (1) Upon being notified by a Party that there exists a dispute in connection with this Agreement (including its interpretation or application) (a “Dispute”), the Parties agree to meet or hold a telephone conference together within 10 days of such notification and to attempt to address and resolve the Dispute to the satisfaction of all of the Parties. The Parties agree to devote good faith efforts to resolve the Dispute which is the subject of the notification contemplated in this Article 7 (Dispute Resolution). (2) If a Dispute remains unresolved after 10 days following the giving of notice pursuant to Section 7.1(1), any Party may commence mediation upon giving written notice (the “Mediation Notice”) to the other Parties describing the Dispute to be resolved by mediation. Upon receipt of a Mediation Notice, the Parties will engage the services of a mediator to assist them in resolving the Dispute described in the Mediation Notice in accordance with the BC International Commercial Arbitration Centre’s (the “BCICAC”) rules of procedure that are in force at the time the Mediation Notice is served. In the event that the Parties cannot reach agreement on a mediator within five days from the receipt of the Mediation Notice, the Parties will ask the BCICAC to appoint a mediator. The mediation will be held in the City of Vancouver, British Columbia in English. At any mediation, the BCICAC’s rules of procedure will apply.


 
- 16 - (3) If a Dispute is not resolved by mediation as provided in Section 7.1(1) within 60 days of service of the Mediation Notice, any Party may terminate the mediation by providing written notice to the other Parties and, following delivery of such notice, any Party may commence legal proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 8.12(2), provided that this Section 7.1(3) shall not constitute an admission by any Party that the subject matter of the unresolved Dispute is properly subject to resolution by legal proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction. (4) Nothing herein will preclude any Party from seeking injunctive, provisional or protective relief in the courts of the Province of British Columbia or in the courts of another country in the event that the Party perceives that without such injunctive, provisional or protective relief, serious harm may be done to the Party. (5) Notwithstanding that a Dispute (or mediation or legal proceedings in respect of an unresolved Dispute) is ongoing, the Parties shall continue to perform all of their obligations under this Agreement, other than such obligations that are the subject matter of the Dispute, in order to ensure the uninterrupted and efficient conduct of the business of the Corporation.

A Party may change its address for service from time to time by providing a Notice in accordance with the foregoing. Any subsequent Notice must be sent to the Party at its changed address. Any element of a Party’s address that is not specifically changed in a Notice will be assumed not to be changed. Section 8.2 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence in this Agreement in all respects. Section 8.3 Third Party Beneficiaries. The Parties intend that this Agreement will not benefit or create any right or cause of action in favour of any Person, other than the Parties. No Person, other than the Parties, is entitled to rely on the provisions of this Agreement in any action, suit, proceeding, hearing or other forum. The Parties reserve their right to vary or rescind the rights at any time and in any way whatsoever, if any, granted by or under this Agreement to any Person who is not a Party, without notice to or consent of that Person. Section 8.4 No Agency or Partnership. Nothing contained in this Agreement makes or constitutes any Party, or any of its directors, officers or employees, the trustee, fiduciary, representative, agent, principal, partner, joint venturer, of any other Party. It is understood that no Party has the capacity to make commitments of any kind or incur obligations or liabilities binding upon any other Party. Section 8.5 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Party will pay for its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by it. The fees and expenses referred to in this Section are those which are incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and performance of this Agreement, and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the fees and expenses of legal counsel, investment advisers and accountants. Section 8.6 Amendments. This Agreement may only be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified by written agreement signed by an authorized signatory of the Party to be bound thereby.


 
- 19 - Section 8.7 Waiver. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other provision (whether or not similar). No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any default, breach or non-compliance under this Agreement will be binding unless executed in writing by the Party to be bound by the waiver, and then only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it has been given. A Party’s failure or delay in exercising any right under this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of that right. A single or partial exercise of any right will not preclude a Party from any other or further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other right. The waiver by a Party of any default, breach or non-compliance under this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of that Party’s rights under this Agreement in respect of any continuing or subsequent default, breach or non-observance (whether of the same or any other nature). Section 8.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement together constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the matters contemplated by this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the Parties related to such matters.

The Parties have not relied and are not relying on any other information, discussion or understanding in entering into this Agreement. Section 8.9 Further Assurances. Each of the Parties agrees to execute and deliver such further and other documents, to cause such meetings to be held, resolutions to be passed and articles to be enacted, to exercise their votes, and to influence and perform, and/or cause to be performed, such further and other acts and things, as may be necessary or desirable in order to give full effect to this Agreement and every part hereof. Section 8.10 Successors and Assigns. (1) This Agreement becomes effective only when executed by all of the Parties. After that time, it is binding on and enures to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, including any successor by way of amalgamation, merger, arrangement or other reorganization. (2) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations under this Agreement are assignable or transferable by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties. Section 8.11 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, by an arbitrator or any court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal exists or is taken, that provision will be severed from this Agreement and the Parties shall substitute for the invalid


 
- 20 - provision a valid provision which most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid provision. Section 8.12 Governing Law. (1) This Agreement is governed by, and will be interpreted and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.
