General Risk FactorsHighly dependent on the financial performance of

international operations in order to achieve growth targets.
Economic conditions in the US and certain International markets
International operations are subject to inherent risks of conducting business abroad, such as:foreign currency exchange rate fluctuationschanges in economic, legal, regulatory, social and
political conditions in their marketsInterpretation of laws and regulations
Hedging Philosophy
“Our financial condition and results of operations are sensitive to, and may be
adversely affected by, a number of factors, many of which are largely outside our
control.”
Risk Management PolicyManage exposure to various market-based
risks according to an umbrella risk management policy.
Market-based risks are quantified and evaluated for potential mitigation strategies, such as entering into hedging transactions.
Governs the hedging instruments the business may use and limits the risk to net earnings.
Risk Management PolicyMonitor and limit the amount of associated
counterparty credit risk. Additionally, this policy restricts, among
other things, the amount of market-based risk to be tolerated before implementing approved hedging strategies and prohibits speculative trading activity.
In general, hedging instruments do not have maturities in excess of five years.

Risk Factors
1. Foreign Exchange Risk2. Commodity Risk3. Interest Rate Risk4. Inflation Risk
Financial Risk Management
Exposure to foreign exchange risk is primarily related to fluctuations between the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar
Foreign Exchange Risk
“We may use derivative products to reduce the risk of a significant impact on our cash flows or net income. Forward currency contracts are entered into to reduce some of the risk related to purchases paid for by the Canadian operations in U.S. dollars, such as coffee, and certain intercompany purchases”
“We do not hedge foreign currency exposure in a manner that would entirely eliminate the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on net income and cash flows.”
“We have a policy forbidding speculating in foreign currency. By their nature, derivative financial instruments involve risk, including the credit risk of non-performance by counterparties, and our maximum potential loss may exceed the amount recognized in our balance sheet. “
“To minimize this risk, except in certain circumstances, we limit the notional amount per counterparty to a maximum of $100.0 million”
Foreign Exchange Risk Philosophy
“Tim Hortons may enter into derivative instruments with maturities ranging up to 7 years to hedge foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk”
Derivative Instruments
Derivatives are recognized and measured as either assets or liabilities at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheet
Derivatives that qualify as hedging instruments are generally cash flow hedges as a means to help protect from the cash flow variability of the hedged item
Derivative Instruments
“If the U.S. Currency rate changes by 10% the entire year, the annual impact on our net income and annual cash flows would not be material”
Foreign Exchange Risk Measurement
Exposure to price input fluctuations due to unforeseen weather and market volatility.
Commodity inputs:CoffeeWheatEdible oilSugar
Commodity Risk
“We monitor our exposure to commodity prices and our forward hedging program of varied duration, depending upon the type of underlying commodity.”
“We employ various purchasing and pricing contract techniques in an effort to minimize volatility, including setting fixed prices for periods of up to one year with suppliers, setting in advance the price for products to be delivered in the future, and unit pricing based on an average of commodity prices over the corresponding period of time. We purchase a significant amount of green coffee and typically have purchase commitments fixing the price for a minimum of 6 to 12 months depending upon prevailing market conditions. We also typically hedge against the risk of foreign exchange on green coffee prices at the same time.”
“We do not make use of financial instruments to hedge commodity prices, partly because of our other contract pricing techniques”
Commodity Risk Philosophy
“Increases and decreases in commodity costs are largely passed through to restaurant owners, resulting in higher or lower revenues and higher or lower costs of sales from our distribution business”
Commodity Risk Measurement
Exposure to risk in interest rate fluctuations:RefinancingReinvesting
To minimize this risk, in the past, Tim Hortons has entered into:Interest rate forwardsInterest rate swaps
“If interest rates change by 100 basis points, the impact on our annual net income would not be material”
Interest Rate Risk
“Due to inflation historical financial statements may not accurately reflect all the effects of changing prices on an enterprise”
Factors impacted include:inventories with approximate current market pricesproperty holdings at fixed costs (substantial)commodity priceincreased labour costs
Result: Tim Hortons and restaurant owners may not be able to adjust prices sufficiently in order to offset the effect of the various cost increases.
Inflation Risk
