MONTRÉAL, Nov. 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bombardier (BBD.B TO) today reported solid financial results for the third quarter 2023, reflecting continued progress towards reaching its 2023 targets(1) on all guided metrics.

“Bombardier’s third quarter results are nothing short of impressive, whether you look at margins, cash generation, overall revenues, order activity and more,” said Éric Martel, President and Chief Executive Officer, Bombardier.

“When we reshaped Bombardier, we set out to build a resilient business that performs in any marketplace. Today, our results demonstrate we are there,” added Martel. “Quarter after quarter, Bombardier has delivered convincing results and we are well on our way to meet 2023 deliveries target and further increase delivery output in the future.”

Strong deliveries and aftermarket growth drive remarkable revenue growth

Bombardier reported a revenue of $1.9 billion in the third quarter 2023, an impressive 28% year-over-year increase, fueled primarily by strong aircraft sales and aftermarket growth. The company delivered 31 aircraft in the third quarter 2023, up six aircraft compared to the same quarter last year, bringing it to a total of 82 deliveries for the year. This included the delivery of the 150th Global 7500 aircraft, the industry flagship that continues to impress and contribute to improved margins for the company. The backlog(4) remains strong at $14.7 billion, and the continued healthy demand resulted in a unit book-to-bill(5) of 1.1 for the quarter. Overall, the company is on track to reach its guidance(1) on deliveries for the year.

Revenues from Bombardier’s aftermarket business continued on their positive trajectory in the third quarter 2023 and grew 11% year-over-year to $414 million. The company has been reaping benefits from the significant expansion of its service centre footprint in 2022 and remains focused on increasing its share of this growing market.

Increased operating profitability and solid cash flow

In terms of profitability, total adjusted EBITDA(2) for the quarter reached $285 million, representing an adjusted EBITDA margin(3) of 15.4% and an impressive 100 basis points margin expansion over the same quarter last year. This growth continues to be underpinned by improving operating margins, including diligent cost management, and growing the aftermarket business.

Adjusted EBIT(2) totaled $193 million, a 54% year-over-year increase. Adjusted net income(2) has also significantly improved to a gain of $80 million compared with a loss of $2 million in the same quarter last year. Adjusted EPS(3) came in at $0.73 for the quarter, an improvement compared with a $0.10 loss in the same quarter last year.

The 36% year-over-year increase in adjusted EBITDA(2) on the back of more deliveries in the third quarter 2023 and a growing aftermarket also contributed to $80 million in free cash flow(2)(6) the company generated in this quarter, in line with expectations(1) to reach more than $250 million by the end of 2023.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

COVID-19 pandemic.

Forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may”, “will”, “shall”, “can”, “expect”, “estimate”, “intend”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “foresee”, “believe”, “continue”, “maintain” or “align”, the negative of these terms, variations of them or similar terminology. Forward-looking statements are presented for the purpose of assisting investors and others in understanding certain key elements of our current objectives, strategic priorities, expectations, guidance, outlook and plans, and in obtaining a better understanding of our business and anticipated operating environment. Readers are cautioned that such information may not be appropriate for other purposes.

By their nature, forward-looking statements require management to make assumptions and are subject to important known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which may cause our actual results in future periods to differ materially from forecast results set forth in forward-looking statements. While management considers these assumptions to be reasonable and appropriate based on information currently available, there is risk that they may not be accurate. The assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements made in this press release include the following material assumptions: growth of the business aviation market and the Corporation’s share of such market; proper identification of recurring cost savings and executing on our cost reduction plan; optimization of our real estate portfolio, including through the sale or other transactions in respect of real estate assets on favorable terms; and access to working capital facilities on market terms. For additional information, including with respect to other assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements made in this press release, refer to the Forward-looking statements - Assumptions section in the MD&A of the Corporation’s financial report for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. Given the impact of the changing circumstances surrounding both the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing military conflict between Ukraine and Russia, including because of the emergence of COVID-19 variants and the imposition of financial and economic sanctions and export control limitations, and the related response from the Corporation, governments (federal, provincial and municipal, both domestic, foreign and multinational inter-governmental organizations), regulatory authorities, businesses, suppliers, customers, counterparties and third-party service providers, there is inherently more uncertainty associated with the Corporation’s assumptions as compared to prior years.

Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: risks associated with general economic conditions; operational risks (such as risks related to development of new business; order backlog; deployment and execution of our strategy, including cost reductions and working capital improvements and manufacturing and productivity enhancement initiatives; developing new products and services; the certification of products and services; pressures on cash flows and capital expenditures, including due to seasonality and cyclicality; doing business with partners; product performance warranty and casualty claim losses; environmental, health and safety concerns and regulations; dependence on limited number of contracts, customers and suppliers, including supply chain risks; human resources including the global availability of a skilled workforce; reliance on information systems (including technology vulnerabilities, cybersecurity threats and privacy breaches); reliance on and protection of intellectual property rights; reputation risks; adequacy of insurance coverage; risk management; and tax matters); financing risks (such as risks related to liquidity and access to capital markets; substantial debt and interest payment requirements, including execution of debt management and interest cost reduction strategies; restrictive and financial debt covenants; retirement benefit plan risk; exposure to credit risk; and reliance on government support); risks related to regulatory and legal proceedings; business environment risks (such as risks associated with the financial condition of business aircraft customers; trade policy; increased competition; political instability; financial and economic sanctions and export control limitations; global climate change; and force majeure events); market risks (such as foreign currency fluctuations; changing interest rates; increases in commodity prices; and inflation rate fluctuations); and other unforeseen adverse events. For more details, see the Risks and uncertainties section in Other in the MD&A of the Corporation’s financial report for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023 and in the MD&A of the Corporation’s financial report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. Any one or more of the foregoing factors may be exacerbated by the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing military conflict between Ukraine and Russia, and may have a significantly more severe impact on the Corporation’s business, results of operations and financial condition than in the absence of such events.

Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors that may affect future growth, results and performance is not exhaustive and undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements.
