Bombardier
today released financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008
that show substantial improvement in many key areas. Earnings before financing
income, financing expense and income taxes (EBIT) grew by $105 million,
to reach $183 million. This resulted in an EBIT margin of 4.6%, compared
to 2.2% for the same period last fiscal year. Similarly, net income increased
by $55 million to total $79 million, while earnings per share were $0.04,
compared to $0.01 for the same period last fiscal year. Free cash flow
(cash flows from operating activities less net additions to property, plant
and equipment) usage of $154 million, after payment of a discretionary
pension fund contribution of $174 million, compares to a usage of $539
million for the same period last fiscal year. The overall order backlog
also improved by $4.7 billion, to attain a record $45.4 billion.
"We
had a strong first quarter, with both groups contributing solid results,"
observed Laurent Beaudoin, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer,
Bombardier Inc. "As both groups make progress toward their EBIT targets,
we're seeing overall improvement in profitability and cash flow generation.
At Aerospace, business aircraft continue to attract a substantial level
of new orders. We're now also seeing the U.S. airline industry rebounding,
as demonstrated by a higher level of regional aircraft orders compared
to last year. Meanwhile, our Transportation group's order intake remains
robust, as it continues to focus on its margin and quality enhancement
program," added Mr. Beaudoin. "With the combination of our various initiatives
yielding improved profitability, and our strong backlog, we are well positioned
to pursue our goal of long-term sustainable growth."
Bombardier
Aerospace
EBIT
rose to $112 million, an increase of $57 million compared to the first
quarter of the previous year. This represents an EBIT margin of 5%, compared
to 2.8% for the same period last year. Free cash flow was also excellent
in the first quarter, improving by $334 million compared to the same period
last fiscal year.
Bombardier
Aerospace received 174 net orders during the first quarter, compared to
52 the previous year, bringing the backlog to $15.4 billion. The group
registered 91 net orders for regional aircraft, 53 of these being for regional
jets, including an order for 30 CRJ900 jets from Delta Air Lines. Subsequent
to the quarter, Delta placed an additional firm order for 14 CRJ900 jet.
Thirteen airlines worldwide have now ordered CRJ900 aircraft, and they
have been unanimous in praising the jet's remarkable fuel efficiency, low
noise and reduced emissions.
Meanwhile,
the popularity of Bombardier turboprops continues unabated, with 38 orders
during the quarter, including two orders of 15 Q400 aircraft each from
Horizon Air and Pinnacle Airlines Corp. Subsequent to the quarter, Flybe
also signed a contract to acquire 15 additional Q400 turboprops. Regarded
by operators as one of the quietest and most effective aircraft, Bombardier's
Q400 turboprops deliver superior economics and exceptional environmental
performance.
Business
aircraft revenues also increased, benefitting from a richer mix of larger
aircraft deliveries. The market remains robust, with a healthy level of
net orders that reached 83 business jets, compared to 33 for the same period
last year.
Bombardier
Transportation
Bombardier
Transportation's EBIT rose to $71 million, an improvement of $48 million
compared to the same period last fiscal year. This represents an EBIT margin
of 4.2%, compared to 1.5% for the same period last year. Free cash flow
also improved by $29 million, after the payment of a discretionary contribution
of $174 million to various employee pension funds in the United Kingdom
(U.K.).
New
order intake remained at a high level, reaching $3 billion for the quarter,
with a book-to-bill ratio of 1.8. These orders reflect the group's continued
success in the regional, commuter and locomotive segments. Among these
successes, Bombardier Transportation received a key order from Trenitalia
of Italy for 150 E464 electric locomotives valued at $487 million, as well
as an order for 256 cars for high-capacity AGC-type trains from the Societe
Nationale des Chemins de fer Francais valued at $416 million. The group's
continuing efforts to develop new business opportunities in the strategic
and emerging markets of China, India and Russia are bearing fruit. During
the quarter, the group signed a contract with Dalian Locomotives and Rolling
Stock Company Ltd. of China to supply propulsion and train control equipment,
design and technical support for high-power freight electric locomotives
valued at $480 million. Bombardier also won a landmark contract to install
the first modern signalling system in the Commonwealth of Independent States.
Subsequent to the quarter, Bombardier Transportation signed an agreement
creating two joint ventures with Transmashholding of Russia for propulsion
technology and manufacturing related to locomotives. In this context, RZD
Russian railways and Transmashholding signed a framework agreement for
the supply of 806 locomotives through 2015, for which one of the newly
created joint ventures is intended to become a propulsion converter supplier.
