See accompanying notes to condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

  1. Reporting entity:

    The principal business of Ballard Power Systems Inc. (the "Corporation") is the design, development, manufacture, sale and service of proton exchange membrane ("PEM") fuel cell products. The Corporation focuses on power products for bus and rail applications, stationary power, and other markets (consisting of truck, marine, material handling, off-road, and other applications), as well as the delivery of services including technology solutions, after sales service and training. A fuel cell is an environmentally clean electrochemical device that combines hydrogen fuel with oxygen (from the air) to produce electricity.

    The Corporation is a company domiciled in Canada and its registered office is located at 9000 Glenlyon Parkway, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada, V5J 5J8. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Corporation as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 comprise the Corporation and its subsidiaries.

  2. Basis of preparation:
    1. Statement of compliance:

      These condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), on a basis consistent with those material accounting policies followed in the most recent annual consolidated financial statements, and therefore should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2025 audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.

      The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors on May 4, 2026.

    2. Basis of measurement:

      The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following material items in the statements of financial position:

      • Financial assets classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

    3. Functional and presentation currency:

      These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, which is the Corporation's functional currency.

    4. Use of estimates:

The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") requires the Corporation's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

  1. Basis of preparation (cont'd):
    1. Use of estimates (cont'd):

      Significant areas having estimation uncertainty include revenue recognition, asset impairment (including property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets), and any related recoveries of previously recognized impairment, warranty provision, inventory and onerous contracts provisions, and fair value measurement (including long-term financial investments). These estimates and judgments are unchanged in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements and are the same as those applied in the Corporation's audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2025.

    2. Future operations:

    The Corporation is required to assess its ability to continue as a going concern or whether substantial doubt exists as to the Corporation's ability to continue as a going concern into the foreseeable future. The Corporation's ability to continue as a going concern and realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business is dependent upon the Corporation having adequate liquidity and achieving profitable operations that are sustainable. The Corporation's liquidity objective to remain a going concern into the foreseeable future is to maintain cash balances sufficient to fund at least six quarters of forecasted cash used by operating activities and contractual commitments.

    The Corporation's strategy to attain this liquidity objective is to continue its drive to attain profitable operations that are sustainable by executing a business plan that continues to focus on revenue growth, improving overall gross margins, maintaining discipline over operating expenses, managing working capital and capital expenditure requirements, and securing additional financing to fund its operations as needed until the Corporation does achieve profitable operations that are sustainable. Failure to implement this plan could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's financial condition and/or results of operations.

  2. Material accounting policies:

    The accounting policies in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Corporation's audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2025.

    Effective for January 1, 2026, the Corporation assessed any new IFRS standards, applicable amendments and interpretations, concluding that they did not have a material impact on the Corporation's condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

    The following is an overview of accounting standard changes that the Corporation will be required to adopt in future years. The Corporation expects to adopt these standards as at their effective dates and will continue to evaluate their impact on the consolidated financial statements.

    IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

    In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements to improve reporting of financial performance and replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. While IFRS 18 carries forward many requirements from IAS 1, the new Standard introduces the following significant changes to the structure of a company's financial statements:

    • Income and expenses in the statements of income or loss will be grouped into new categories resulting in new subtotals and/or line items being presented (including operating profit), along with changes in how certain existing subtotals are calculated;

  1. Material accounting policies (cont'd):
    • New disclosures will be required for management defined performance measures (MPM), commonly referred to as 'non-GAAP measures'; and

    • New principles will apply to the aggregation and disaggregation of certain financial information in the financial statements.

      IFRS 18 applies for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. Retrospective application is required, and the Corporation's comparative information will be restated in accordance with the Standard. The extent of the impact of adoption of IFRS 18 is currently being assessed by the Corporation.

  2. Critical judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty:

    Critical judgments in applying accounting policies:

    Critical judgments that management has made in the process of applying the Corporation's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are limited to management's assessment of the Corporation's ability to continue as a going concern (note 2(e)).

    Key sources of estimation uncertainty:

    Key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty that have significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses within the next fiscal year include the following: revenue recognition, asset impairment (including property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets) and any related recoveries of previously recognized impairment, warranty provision, inventory and onerous contracts provisions, fair value measurement (including long-term financial investments), and residual fair value of property, plant, and equipment. These assumptions are unchanged in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements and are the same as those applied in the Corporation's audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2025.

  3. Trade and other receivables:

    March 31, December 31,

    2026 2025

  4. Inventories:

    During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the write-down of inventories to net realizable value including onerous contract adjustments amounted to $nil (2025 - $334,000) and the reversal of previously recorded write-downs and onerous contract adjustments amounted to $587,000 (2025 - $1,872,000), resulting in a net recovery to cost of product and service revenues of $587,000 (2025 - $1,538,000). Write-downs and reversals are included in either cost of product and service revenues or research and product development expense, depending upon the nature of inventory.

    2. Credit risk:

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments requires impairment losses to be recognized based on "expected losses" that will occur in the future, incorporating forward-looking information relating to defaults and applies a single 'expected credit loss' ("ECL") impairment model that applies to all financial assets within scope. ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Corporation in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Corporation expects to receive). Under IFRS 9, at each reporting date the Corporation is required to assess whether financial assets carried at amortized cost are credit-impaired.

As a result of this review for the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Corporation did not recognize any additional estimated ECL impairment losses, excluding specific impairment losses (note 19). At March 31, 2026, the total amount accrued was $200,000 (December 31, 2025 - $200,000).
