TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS

Superior is pleased to report on the company's

strong performance in 2022 especially given the

60%

macro economic context of the global COVID-19

50%

pandemic early in the year and challenges due to

40%

rising inflation and labour costs as well as impacts 30%

from volatile commodity costs.

Highlights from the year include:

> Superior earned Adjusted EBITDA(1) of

-10%

-20%

$449.8 million, an increase of $51.4 million or

2017

13% from 2021. The Adjusted EBITDA earned was

above the mid-point of our 2022 Adjusted

EBITDA guidance range of $425 - $465 million primarily due to the impact of acquisitions in US Propane and higher average margins in Canadian Propane, partially offset by increased labour and fuel costs in both businesses due to inflation and higher corporate costs.

in 2022

  • Superior had a net loss from continuing operations for 2022 of $87.9 million compared to net earnings from continuing operations of $17.2 million in the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to a loss on derivatives and foreign currency translation of borrowings and higher selling, distribution and administrative costs, partially offset by higher gross profit, lower finance expense and income tax expense.
  • We closed eight acquisitions in 2022 for total consideration of $519 million and late in the year announced the transformative acquisition of Certarus Ltd. ("Certarus"), a leading North American low carbon energy solutions provider for $1.05 billion. The Certarus acquisition is expected to provide Superior with a significant organic growth business and positions us well for transition to a low carbon future, by adding complementary high growth low carbon fuels, including Compressed Natural Gas ("CNG"), Renewable Natural Gas ("RNG") and hydrogen to our extensive distribution platform.
  • We announced the planned retirement of our President and Chief Executive Officer, Luc Desjardins and appointed a succession committee of the board to determine a successor. In February, 2023, the committee concluded its work and we announced the appointment of our new President and Chief Executive Officer, Allan A. MacDonald, who will join Superior on April 3, 2023.
  • The total shareholder return, including the reinvestment of dividends, of our common shares on the TSX in 2022 was -10%, primarily due to the 14% decrease in the share price of our common shares during the year. For the five-year period reflected in the graph above, the combined annual growth rate of our common shares of approximately 5.0% was lower than the total shareholder returns of the S&P TSX Composite index and the S&P Composite High Dividend index, which were 6.9% and 7.4%, respectively.

CEO Succession

In August 2022, we announced the planned retirement of Mr. Luc Desjardins as President and Chief Executive Officer and a director of Superior by July 31, 2023 and that a succession committee of the board of directors had been formed to select a new President and Chief Executive Officer. Following an extensive recruitment process, the board of directors approved the appointment of Mr. Allan MacDonald as the new President and Chief Executive Officer of Superior to be effective April 3, 2023.

  1. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Refer to the Non-GAAP financial measures section of this document and page 46 of Superior's 2022 annual MD&A for more information on non-GAAP financial measure.
