February 10, 2016 8:28 AM EST

MONTREAL, CANADA -- (Marketwired) -- 02/10/16 -- (NYSE: CAE)(TSX: CAE) - CAE today reported revenue of $616.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2016, representing a 10% increase over the third quarter last year. Third quarter net income attributable to equity holders from continuing operations was $57.9 million ($0.21 per share) vs. $52.1 million ($0.20 per share) last year.

Third quarter net income before specific items(4) was $59.4 million ($0.22 per share), up 14% from the same period last year. Specific items this quarter include restructuring costs of $1.5 million (net after-tax) related to CAE's ongoing process improvement program. All financial information is in Canadian dollars.

"We had good performance in the third quarter, keeping us well on track to meet our positive outlook for the fiscal year," said Marc Parent, CAE's President and Chief Executive Officer. "In Civil, we expect to surpass our previous full-year outlook for simulator sales and we look forward to solid growth and a higher margin for the year as a whole. In Defence, our year-to-date performance, robust pipeline, and order backlog support our outlook for growth. Free cash flow was strong again in the quarter, and has increased on a year-to-date basis by more than $200 million compared to last year, fortifying an already solid financial position."

In addition to reporting quarterly results, CAE today announced its intention to establish a normal course issuer bid (NCIB), which is expected to commence shortly after the regulatory approvals are obtained. The common shares that may be repurchased under the program over a period of approximately one year will represent up to two percent (2%) of the issued and outstanding common shares of CAE. The NCIB is being established as part of CAE's capital management strategy and is intended to be used primarily to mitigate the dilutive effect of treasury shares issued under CAE's dividend reinvestment and stock option plans.

Additional financial highlights

Free cash flow from continuing operations was positive $194.4 million in the third quarter compared to $70.0 million in the third quarter last year. The increase was mainly due to a lower investment in non-cash working capital(11) and an increase in cash provided by continuing operating activities. Free cash flow for the year to date was positive $234.9 million, $202.9 million higher than the same period last year.

Income taxes this quarter were $8.5 million, representing an effective tax rate of 13%, compared to 20% for the third quarter of fiscal year 2015. The lower rate this quarter results from a change in the mix of income from various jurisdictions and U.S. tax incentives applicable to domestic manufacturers. Excluding the effect of the tax incentives, the income tax expense this quarter would have been $10.9 million.

Growth and maintenance capital expenditures(12) totaled $29.2 million for the quarter and $78.0 million for the year to date.

Net debt(13) ended at $794.9 million this quarter, compared to $971.7 million in the third quarter last year. CAE's net debt-to-total capital ratio was lower at 29.0% compared to 38.3% in the third quarter last year.

Return on capital employed(14) (ROCE) was 11% this quarter, compared to 10.5% for the third quarter last year.

CAE will pay a dividend of 7.5 cents per share effective March 31, 2016 to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 15, 2016.

Management outlook for fiscal 2016

CAE continues to expect growth in fiscal 2016 across all business segments. In Civil, the Company expects double-digit annual operating income growth and an improvement in operating margins from the 16.3% level reached last year, driven mainly by higher training utilization. With 39 Civil FFS sales announced fiscal year-to-date, CAE now expects to exceed its prior year Civil FFS unit sales. In Defence, CAE expects modest growth with operating margins in the 12-13% range. CAE continues to anticipate higher annual returns on capital employed going forward as it fills training centre capacity, undertakes a greater share of its customers' training activities, brings its process improvement plan to fruition, and incrementally invests in accretive, customer-driven growth opportunities.

Caution concerning limitations of summary earnings press release

This summary earnings press release contains limited information meant to assist the reader in assessing CAE's performance but it is not a suitable source of information for readers who are unfamiliar with CAE and is not in any way a substitute for the Company's financial statements, notes to the financial statements, and MD&A reports.

Caution concerning forward-looking statements

Certain statements made in this news release are forward-looking statements. These statements include, without limitation, statements relating to our fiscal 2016 financial guidance (including revenues, capital investment and margins) and other statements that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by future or conditional verbs such as anticipate, believe, expect, and may. All such forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the 'safe harbour' provisions of applicable Canadian securities laws and of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements, by their very nature, are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties and are based on several assumptions, both general and specific, which give rise to the possibility that actual results or events could differ materially from our expectations expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements and that our business outlook, objectives, plans and strategic priorities may not be achieved. As a result, we cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will materialize and we caution you against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this news release describe our expectations as of February 10, 2016 and, accordingly, are subject to change after such date. Except as may be required by Canadian securities laws, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this news release, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Except as otherwise indicated by CAE, forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any special items or of any dispositions, monetizations, mergers, acquisitions, other business combinations or other transactions that may occur after February 10, 2016. The financial impact of these transactions and special items can be complex and depends on the facts particular to each of them. We therefore cannot describe the expected impact in a meaningful way or in the same way we present known risks affecting our business. Forward-looking statements are presented in this news release for the purpose of assisting investors and others in understanding certain key elements of our expected fiscal 2016 financial results and in obtaining a better understanding of our anticipated operating environment. Readers are cautioned that such information may not be appropriate for other purposes. The value of capital investments expected to be made by CAE in FY2016 assumes that capital investments will be made in accordance with our current annual plan. However, there can be no assurance that such investment levels will be maintained with the result that the value of actual capital investments made by CAE during such period could materially differ from current expectations.

Material assumptions

A number of economic, market, operational and financial assumptions were made by CAE in preparing its forward-looking statements for fiscal 2016 contained in this news release, including, but not limited to certain economic and market assumptions including: modest economic growth and interest rates to remain largely unchanged in fiscal 2016; a sustained level of competition in civil, defence & healthcare markets; no material financial, operational or competitive consequences of changes in regulations affecting our business; and a relatively stable defence market.

Assumptions concerning our businesses

A number of assumptions concerning CAE's business were also made in the preparation of its forward-looking statements for fiscal 2016 contained in this news release, including, but not limited to factors including: productivity and efficiency gains to lower CAE's manufacturing costs and cycle times; maintenance of CAE's market share in civil simulator sales in the face of price competition from recent market entrants; higher Civil training network utilization; and lower total capital expenditure requirements.

The foregoing assumptions, although considered reasonable by CAE on February 10, 2016, may prove to be inaccurate. Accordingly, our actual results could differ materially from our expectations as set forth in this news release.

Material risks

Important risk factors that could cause our assumptions and estimates to be inaccurate and actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by our forward-looking statements, including our fiscal 2016 financial guidance, are set out in CAE's 2015 Annual MD&A (included in the CAE 2015 Annual Report) filed by CAE with the Canadian Securities Administrators (available at www.sedar.com) and with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (available at www.sec.gov). These documents are also available at www.cae.com. The realization of our forward-looking statements, including our ability to meet our fiscal 2016 outlook, essentially depends on our business performance which, in turn, is subject to many risks. Accordingly, readers are cautioned that any of the disclosed risks could have a material adverse effect on our forward-looking statements. We caution that the disclosed list of risk factors is not exhaustive and other factors could also adversely affect our results.

Non-GAAP and other financial measures

This press release includes non-GAAP and other financial measures. Non-GAAP measures are useful supplemental information but may not have a standardized meaning according to GAAP. These measures should not be confused with, or used as an alternative for, performance measures calculated according to GAAP. They should also not be used to compare with similar measures from other companies. Management believes that providing certain non-GAAP measures provides users with a better understanding of our results and trends and provides additional information on our financial and operating performance.


(1)  Earnings per share before specific items is a non-GAAP measure
     calculated by excluding the effect of restructuring costs and one-time
     tax items from the diluted earnings per share from continuing
     operations attributable to equity holders of the Company. The effect
     per share is obtained by dividing the restructuring costs, net of tax,
     and one-time tax items by the average number of diluted shares. We
     track it because we believe it provides a better indication of our
     operating performance on a per share basis and makes it easier to
     compare across reporting periods.

(2)  Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure that shows us how much cash we
     have available to invest in growth opportunities, repay debt and meet
     ongoing financial obligations. We use it as an indicator of our
     financial strength and liquidity. We calculate it by taking the net
     cash generated by our continuing operating activities, subtracting
     maintenance capital expenditures, investment in other assets not
     related to growth and dividends paid and adding proceeds from the
     disposal of property, plant and equipment, dividends received from
     equity accounted investees and proceeds, net of payments, from equity
     accounted investees.

(3)  Net debt-to-capital is calculated as net debt divided by the sum of
     total equity plus net debt.

(4)  Net income before specific items is a non-GAAP measure we use as an
     alternate view of our operating results. We calculate it by taking our
     net income attributable to equity holders of the Company from
     continuing operations and adding back restructuring costs, net of tax,
     and one-time tax items. We track it because we believe it provides a
     better indication of our operating performance and makes it easier to
     compare across reporting periods.

(5)  Operating profit is a non-GAAP measure that shows us how we have
     performed before the effects of certain financing decisions, tax
     structures and discontinued operations. We track it because we believe
     it makes it easier to compare our performance with previous periods,
     and with companies and industries that do not have the same capital
     structure or tax laws.

(6)  Total backlog is non-GAAP measure that includes obligated backlog,
     joint venture backlog and unfunded backlog. Obligated backlog
     represents the expected value of orders we have received but have not
     yet executed. Joint venture backlog is obligated backlog that
     represents the expected value of our share of orders that our joint
     ventures have received but have not yet executed. Unfunded backlog
     represents firm Defence and Security orders we have received but have
     not yet executed and for which funding authorization has not yet been
     obtained. We include unexercised negotiated options which we view as
     having a high probability of being exercised, but exclude indefinite-
     delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts.

(7)  Segment operating income (SOI) is a non-GAAP measure and our key
     indicator of each segment's financial performance. This measure gives
     us a good indication of the profitability of each segment because it
     does not include the impact of any items not specifically related to
     the segment's performance. We calculate it by taking the operating
     profit and excluding the impact of restructuring costs.

(8)  Utilization rate is an operating measure we use to assess the
     performance of our Civil simulator training network. We calculate it
     by taking the number of training hours sold on our simulators during
     the period divided by the practical training capacity available for
     the same period.

(9)  The book-to-sales ratio is the total orders divided by total revenue
     in a given period.

(10) Simulator equivalent unit (SEU) is an operating measure we use to show
     the total average number of FFSs available to generate earnings during
     the period.

(11) Non-cash working capital is a non-GAAP measure we use to monitor how
     much money we have committed in the day-to-day operation of our
     business. We calculate it by taking current assets (not including cash
     and cash equivalents and assets held for sale) and subtracting current
     liabilities (not including the current portion of long-term debt and
     liabilities held for sale).

(12) Maintenance capital expenditure is a non-GAAP measure we use to
     calculate the investment needed to sustain the current level of
     economic activity. Growth capital expenditure is a non-GAAP measure we
     use to calculate the investment needed to increase the current level
     of economic activity.

(13) Net debt is a non-GAAP measure we use to monitor how much debt we have
     after taking into account liquid assets such as cash and cash
     equivalents. We use it as an indicator of our overall financial
     position, and calculate it by taking our total long-term debt,
     including the current portion of long-term debt, and subtracting cash
     and cash equivalents.

(14) Return on capital employed (ROCE) is a non-GAAP measure we use to
     evaluate the profitability of our invested capital. We calculate this
     ratio over a rolling four-quarter period by taking net income
     attributable to equity holders of the Company excluding net finance
     expense, after tax, divided by the average capital employed.

For a detailed reconciliation of these measures as well as other non-GAAP and other financial measures monitored by CAE, please refer to CAE's Management's Discussion and Analysis filed with the Canadian Securities Administrators available on our website (www.cae.com) and on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).
