Equity-based compensation
Our equity-based compensation includes our share purchase option, phantom share unit, and deferred share unit plans (collectively, the “Plans”). Our Plans are fair valued at each period-end, and the resulting expense or recovery is recorded in equity-based compensation over the vesting period.
Our valuation models consider various factors, with the most significant being the change in the market value of our shares from the beginning to the end of the relevant period. The expense or recovery does not necessarily represent the value that the holders of options and units will ultimately receive.
We recorded an expense of $14 million during 2024 (2023 - expense of $25 million). The expense for 2024 and 2023 reflects an increase in the price of our common shares traded on the TSX, changes in the expected payout multiple on our performance share units, and additional vesting of units granted.
