CAE reports Q1 adjusted EPS C$0.24 vs. C$0.06 last year

Reports Q1 revenue C$1.054B vs. C$933.3M last year. “We are off to a strong start to the fiscal year with first quarter results driven by double-digit year-over-year growth in Civil, continued strengthening and transformation in Defense, and increased profitability in Healthcare. We also further bolstered our financial position and are on track to meet our leverage target by mid fiscal year,” said Marc Parent, CAE‘s President and CEO. “We made excellent progress in the quarter to secure CAE’s future with over $1 billion in total adjusted order intake, for a record $11.2 billion adjusted backlog. As partner of choice, we are addressing a greater share of our civil aviation customers’ training and operational needs, as evidenced by our long-term training services agreements that now include nearly every major U.S. airline. We are also making excellent progress to transform Defense as demonstrated by our recent large strategic program wins, including the selection of SkyAlyne as the preferred bidder for the Future Aircrew Training program to provide next generation pilot and aircrew training for the Royal Canadian Air Force. This represents a multi-billion-dollar generational training opportunity for CAE, spanning the next quarter century. Our customers in each of our markets have a growing need for innovative training and operational support solutions to succeed in evermore complex environments. As we look to the period ahead, we continue to be highly encouraged by the secular tailwinds in all segments and the growth we expect by harnessing our global market and technology leadership, and the power of One CAE.”
