8.    Financial and derivative instruments
Financial instruments
The fair value of the company’s financial instruments is determined by reference to various market data and other appropriate valuation techniques. There are no material differences between the fair value of the company’s financial instruments and the recorded carrying value. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of long-term debt ($3,447 million, excluding finance lease obligations) was primarily a level 2 measurement.
Derivative instruments
The company’s size, strong capital structure and the complementary nature of its business segments reduce the company’s enterprise-wide risk from changes in commodity prices, currency rates and interest rates. In addition, the company uses commodity-based contracts, including derivatives, to manage commodity price risk and to generate returns from trading. Commodity contracts held for trading purposes are presented in the Consolidated statement of income on a net basis in the line "Revenues" and in the Consolidated statement of cash flows in "Cash flows from (used in) operating activities". The company’s commodity derivatives are not accounted for under hedge accounting.
Credit risk associated with the company’s derivative position is mitigated by several factors, including the use of derivative clearing exchanges and the quality of and financial limits placed on derivative counterparties. The company maintains a system of controls that includes the authorization, reporting and monitoring of derivative activity.
The net notional long/(short) position of derivative instruments was:

The current 12-month normal course issuer bid program came into effect June 29, 2024 under which Imperial has continued its existing share purchase program. The program enables the company to purchase up to a maximum of 26,791,840 common shares (5 percent of the total shares on June 15, 2024) which includes shares purchased under the normal course issuer bid from Exxon Mobil Corporation. As in the past, Exxon Mobil Corporation has advised the company that it intends to participate to maintain its ownership percentage at approximately 69.6 percent. Imperial plans to accelerate its share purchases under the normal course issuer bid program, and anticipates repurchasing all remaining allowable shares prior to year end. Purchase plans may be modified at any time without prior notice.
The excess of the purchase cost over the stated value of shares purchased has been recorded as a distribution of earnings reinvested.

As such, these measures may not be directly comparable to measures presented by other companies, and should not be considered a substitute for GAAP financial measures.
Net income (loss) excluding identified items
Net income (loss) excluding identified items is a non-GAAP financial measure that is total net income (loss) excluding individually significant non-operational events with an absolute corporate total earnings impact of at least $100 million in a given quarter. The net income (loss) impact of an identified item for an individual segment in a given quarter may be less than $100 million when the item impacts several segments or several periods. The most directly comparable financial measure that is disclosed in the financial statements is "Net income (loss)" within the company’s Consolidated statement of income. Management uses these figures to improve comparability of the underlying business across multiple periods by isolating and removing significant non-operational events from business results. The company believes this view provides investors increased transparency into business results and trends, and provides investors with a view of the business as seen through the eyes of management. Net income (loss) excluding identified items is not meant to be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) as prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. All identified items are presented on an after-tax basis.
Reconciliation of net income (loss) excluding identified items
There were no identified items in the third quarter or year-to-date 2024 and 2023 periods.

Recent business environment

During the third quarter, crude prices decreased versus the second quarter, reflecting uncertainty about future China demand and OPEC+ supply. The Canadian WTI/WCS spread remained stable in the third quarter and narrowed versus the 2023 full-year average. Industry refining margins declined versus the second quarter as increased supply outpaced global demand.

Price – Average bitumen realizations decreased by $8.81 per barrel, primarily driven by lower marker prices. Synthetic crude oil realizations decreased by $8.57 per barrel, generally in line with WTI.

Volumes – Higher volumes were primarily at Cold Lake driven by Grand Rapids, and by production and steam cycle timing.

Royalty Lower royalties were primarily driven by lower commodity prices, partially offset by higher volumes.

Other Includes lower operating expenses of about $80 million, primarily due to lower energy prices.

Price – Average bitumen realizations increased by $6.90 per barrel, primarily driven by the narrowing WTI/WCS spread, lower diluent costs, and higher marker prices. Synthetic crude oil realizations decreased by $2.70 per barrel, primarily driven by a weaker Synthetic/WTI spread, partially offset by higher WTI.

Volumes – Higher volumes were primarily driven by improved mine fleet productivity and optimized turnaround at Kearl, as well as Grand Rapids and production and steam cycle timing at Cold Lake.

Royalty – Higher royalties were primarily driven by higher volumes.

Other – Includes lower operating expenses of about $200 million, primarily from lower energy prices, and favourable foreign exchange impacts of about $70 million, partially offset by lower electricity sales at Cold Lake due to lower prices.
