Bombardier Reports Second Quarter 2016 Results
- Reaffirms full year guidance for 2016
- Reports margin expansion at Business Aircraft and Transportation for Q2
- Improved cash performance in line with turnaround plan
- C Series enters service; begins revenue generation
/EINPresswire.com/ -- MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwired) -- 08/05/16 -- Bombardier (TSX: BBD.A)(TSX: BBD.B)(OTCQX: BDRBF) today reported its second quarter 2016 results and reaffirmed its full year guidance.
"We continue to make very good progress executing our turnaround plan," said Alain Bellemare, President and Chief Executive Officer, Bombardier Inc. "We delivered on our financial commitments, achieved our program milestones and positioned Bombardier to meet both our full year guidance and 2020 goals."
Highlighting the company's recent progress is the C Series entry-into-service and the certification of the CS300 aircraft - the larger version of the C Series. These significant milestones reflect the completion of the C Series' development phase and transition into production ramp-up. As the industry's first clean-sheet designed narrow-body aircraft in nearly 30 years, the C Series offers the best passenger experience, environmental performance and operating costs in the 100- to 150-seat class.
"This was a pivotal quarter for the C Series as both variants are now certified and the program has begun generating revenue," Bellemare continued. "Having firmly placed Bombardier on a path to profitable earnings growth and cash generation, we remain focused on delivering customer and shareholder value by improving productivity, executing flawlessly on our programs and applying a disciplined and proactive approach to our portfolio."

Bombardier reported consolidated revenues of $4.3 billion in the quarter and $8.2 billion for the first six-month period, relative to $4.6 billion and $9.0 billion for the same periods last year, explained for the most part by the planned reduction in business aircraft revenues. EBIT before special items was $106 million and $236 million respectively for the quarter and year-to-date, as margin improvements at Business Aircraft and Transportation were offset by the production ramp-up effect of the C Series, as it entered into service. Improved free cash flow usage for the first six months of the year and the completion of the equity investment by the Government of Quebec (through Investissement Quebec) have resulted in pro forma liquidity of $4.9 billion as at June 30, 2016. These results place Bombardier on track to meet its full year guidance of revenues between $16.5 billion and $17.5 billion, EBIT between $200 million and $400 million, and free cash flow usage between $1.0 billion and $1.3 billion.

phase to the revenue-generating phase, a historic milestone as we bring
to market the first clean-sheet designed narrow-body aircraft in nearly
30 years.
-- On June 29, 2016, we delivered the first CS100 aircraft to launch
operator Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS). The aircraft achieved
successful entry-into-service on July 15, 2016 with its maiden
commercial flight taking passengers from Zurich to Paris.
-- Recent significant orders totalling 127 firm orders and 80 options from
Delta, Air Canada and airBaltic solidified the C Series aircraft program
in the 100- to 150-seat category. These firm orders are valued at $9.9
billion based on list prices. The program entered into service with a
firm order backlog above our target of 300 aircraft.

undisclosed customer. Based on list price, the firm order is valued at
$472 million.

Government of Quebec (through Investissement Quebec) in return for a
49.5% equity stake in a newly created limited partnership, the C Series
Aircraft Limited Partnership (CSALP). We also received the first $500-
million installment and the second $500-million installment is expected
on September 1, 2016.
-- Free cash flow usage of approximately $470 million on a year-to-date
basis, as we ramp-up production for the C Series aircraft, is on track
to our full year target of $1.0 billion.
-- Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, we restructured the
purchase agreement signed in 2013 with Ilyushin Finance Co. (IFC), a
Moscow-based leasing company, to align with their current market needs.
The firm order has been modified from 32 CS300 aircraft and options for
an additional 10 CS300 aircraft to 20 CS300 aircraft and one Q400
aircraft with options for five additional Q400 aircraft.

CAUTION REGARDING NON-GAAP MEASURES
This press release is based on reported earnings in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Reference to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) means IFRS, unless indicated otherwise. This press release is also based on non-GAAP financial measures including EBITDA, EBIT before special items and EBITDA before special items, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share and free cash flow. These non-GAAP measures are mainly derived from the interim consolidated financial statements but do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS; therefore, others using these terms may define them differently. Management believes that providing certain non-GAAP performance measures, in addition to IFRS measures, provides users of our interim financial report with enhanced understanding of our results and related trends and increases the transparency and clarity of the core results of our business. Refer to the Non-GAAP financial measures section in Overview in the Corporation's MD&A for definitions of these metrics and refer below for reconciliations to the most comparable IFRS measures.
