MONTRÉAL, July 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bombardier Inc. (TSX: BBD.B) today reported strong financial results for the second quarter of 2024. With significant, double-digit growth year over year across key metrics including deliveries, revenues, services and profitability, the company is on pace to meet 2024 full-year guidance(6).
“The entire Bombardier team is consistently performing at an extremely high level. As the company enters the fourth year of our journey centered on business aviation, our being able to post double-digit growth year-over-year underscores our focused business model, the strength of our plan and the team’s unwavering ability to execute,” said Éric Martel, President and Chief Executive Officer, Bombardier. “We continue to demonstrate our unique expertise and ingenuity when it comes to maintaining the industry’s strongest track record for managing the supply chain. I am proud that we have, time and again, proven our agility, resilience and ability to thrive in all environments we face, which has kept us on track to meet full-year guidance(6).”
Higher Deliveries and Impressive Increase in Services Drive Revenue Growth
Revenues for the second quarter of 2024 rose to $2.2 billion, up 32% year-over-year, driven by higher aircraft deliveries and a steady increase in services revenue. Aircraft deliveries reached 39 units in the quarter, representing a 34% increase year-over-year, or ten additional aircraft when compared to the same quarter last year. With its very strong delivery performance this quarter, Bombardier has clear line of sight to reach its full-year guidance(6) of between 150 to 155 aircraft.
Martel added, “As the market for business aviation remains strong around the world, we are well positioned to meet demand with our impressive product lineup and our growing Services and Defense streams. The thoughtful diversification of our portfolio has allowed us to make an important step change in how we perform, and by maintaining a strong focus on quality throughout our production processes, we are able to cultivate new opportunities and chart a clear path forward.”
The company’s Services business continued its solid performance as it fully operationalizes its recently expanded network. Services contributed $507 million to total revenues, representing an impressive increase of 18% year-over-year. The Services business continues its remarkable growth streak and is well on its way to achieving run rates that support the company’s objective of reaching $2 billion in revenues by 2025(6).
Bombardier saw sustained demand in multiple key regions, as well as a healthy mix throughout its portfolio of aircraft both for business jet customers, as well as for defense and medevac solutions. Backlog(4) reached $14.9 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2024, fueled by a strong order intake that yielded a unit book-to-bill(5) of 1.0.
Expanded Profitability Reflects Solid Operational Execution
Bombardier continued its profitable growth trajectory in the second quarter of 2024, with an adjusted EBITDA(1) of $335 million, up 22% year-over-year, driven by a healthy delivery mix and strong Services business. The adjusted EBITDA margin(2) was 15.2% this quarter, down 120 basis points year-over-year. Adjusted EBIT(1) for the second quarter of 2024 was $216 million, a 14% increase from the same quarter last year. The adjusted EBIT margin(2) was down by 150 basis points year-over-year. Adjusted EPS(2) for the second quarter came in at $1.04, compared to $0.72 in the same quarter last year.

Non-GAAP and other financial measures are measures mainly derived from the consolidated financial statements but are not standardized financial measures under the financial reporting framework used to prepare our financial statements. Therefore, these might not be comparable to similar non-GAAP and other financial measures used by other issuers. The exclusion of certain items from non-GAAP or other financial measures does not imply that these items are necessarily non-recurring.
Adjusted EBIT
Adjusted EBIT is defined as the EBIT excluding certain items which do not reflect the Corporations core performance or where their separate presentation will assist users of the consolidated financial statements in understanding the Corporation’s results for the period. Such items include restructuring charges (reversals)(1)(2), loss (gain) related to disposal of business(1)(3), impairment and program termination (reversals)(1)(4), certain one-time pension related items included in other expense (income) such as loss (gain) on pension annuity purchases(1), and non-commercial legal claims(1). Management uses adjusted EBIT for purposes of evaluating underlying business performance. Management believes presentation of this non-GAAP operating earnings measure in addition to IFRS measures provides users of our Financial Report with enhanced understanding of our results and related trends and increases the transparency and clarity of the core results of our business. For these reasons, a significant number of users of the MD&A analyze our results based on this financial measure. Management believes this measure helps users of the MD&A to better analyze results, enabling better comparability of our results from one period to another and with peers.

Free cash flow (usage)
Free cash flow (usage) is defined as cash flows from operating activities - continuing operations less net additions to PP&E and intangible assets. Management believes that this non-GAAP cash flow measure provides investors with an important perspective on the Corporation’s generation of cash available for shareholders, debt repayment, and acquisitions after making the capital investments required to support ongoing business operations and long-term value creation. This non-GAAP cash flow measure does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures as it excludes certain mandatory expenditures such as repayment of maturing debt. Management uses free cash flow (usage) as a measure to assess both business performance and overall liquidity generation.
Available liquidity
Available liquidity is defined as cash and cash equivalents plus undrawn amounts under credit facilities. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides investors with an important perspective on the Corporation’s ability to meet expected liquidity requirements, including the support of product development initiatives and to ensure financial flexibility.

In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based on information available to us as of the date of this press release. While we believe that information provides a reasonable basis for these statements, that information may be limited or incomplete. Our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of all relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements.
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 and continued management of recurring cost saving; optimization of our real estate portfolio; 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 fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Given the impact of the changing circumstances surrounding new or continuing global health, geopolitical and military events, 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 an inherently higher degree of uncertainty associated with the Corporation’s assumptions.
Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: operational risks (such as risks related to business development and growth; 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, including technological innovation and disruption; 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; scrutiny and perception gaps regarding environmental, social and governance matters; 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 availability of government support); risks related to regulatory and legal proceedings; risks associated with general economic conditions and disruptions, both regionally and globally, that may impact our sales and operations; business environment risks (such as risks associated with the financial condition of business aircraft customers; trade policy; increased competition; political instability and geopolitical tensions; 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 fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Any one or more of the foregoing factors may be exacerbated by new or continuing global health, geopolitical or military events, which 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. Other risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we presently believe are not material could also cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements set forth herein reflect management’s expectations as at the date of this report and are subject to change after such date. Unless otherwise required by applicable securities laws, we expressly disclaim any intention, and assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.
