MONTRÉAL, Feb. 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bombardier (TSX: BBD.B) unveiled today its fourth quarter and full-year 2022 financial results, confirming an outstanding financial performance that exceeded guidance. The company also presented its 2023 guidance and announced that it will provide a further update on the execution toward its 2025 strategic objectives at a virtual Investor Day on March 23, 2023.

“The 2022 results we are presenting today are a resoundingly positive culmination of a strong year, and a testament to the team’s effort to execute in the fourth quarter. We exceeded commitments across the board, be it on deliveries, our growing aftermarket business and profitability,” said Éric Martel, Bombardier’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are also proud of the fantastic job our team did on deleveraging, with $1.1 billion dollars of debt retired in 2022 thanks to cash from our balance sheet and operations. This puts us ahead of our plan and gives us the flexibility to be even more proactive and opportunistic going forward.”

2022 Results Beat Guidance on Key Metrics

Bombardier exceeded its year-end targets on all guided metrics, beating the numbers presented in August 2022 when the company updated its 2022 guidance. The company reported $6.9 billion in revenues, an increase of 14% year-over-year. The increase comes on the back of higher deliveries and a favourable aircraft mix, but also a significant contribution from aftermarket services, which grew 22% year-over-year to reach $1.5 billion in 2022.

In terms of profitability, the company reported an adjusted EBITDA(2) of $930 million, a 45% increase year-over-year and well over the guidance of greater than $825 million. The growing contribution of the Global 7500, cost structure improvements, higher aftermarket contribution and a better aircraft mix were among the key factors in this substantial increase. The company also beat guidance on the full-year reported EBIT, which was at $538 million.

The earnings growth, along with the strong order intake, drew an impressive performance on free cash flow(2) generation of $735 million from continuing operations for 2022, which exceeded the updated 2022 guidance and represents a significant improvement of $635 million year-over-year.

The company made the most of the strong demand and competitive product portfolio, and avoided pitfalls related to the pressures on the supply chain to deliver 123 aircraft, 49 of which were delivered in the fourth quarter of 2022. The healthy backlog(5), which increased $2.6 billion year-over-year to reach $14.8 billion, and a 1.4 full-year unit book-to-bill(6), reflect continued favourable medium- and long-term industry fundamentals and confirm that Bombardier has the right product mix to continue being the leading force in its categories.

The strong performance allowed the company to overperform on another key strategic objective: debt reduction. Over the course of 2022, Bombardier repaid $1.1 billion of debt with cash from balance sheet and operations. The drop in interest costs coming from debt reduction, along with rapid growth in profitability and the recognition of significant tax attributes on balance sheet also led to positive EPS.

2023 Outlook(1)

Bombardier also unveiled today its outlook on guided metrics for 2023. Revenues are expected to be greater than $7.6 billion, driven mainly by increase in deliveries, which are expected to be greater than 138 units. The continued and steady growth of aftermarket services, which the company continued to ramp up in 2022 through a significant expansion of the service centre network and recruitment of skilled technicians, is also to be an important driver in 2023.

The company expects to continue outpacing revenue growth as it expands its margins. An increase in adjusted EBITDA(2) to greater than $1,125 million is expected, representing a 21% increase versus 2022, driven by margin conversion of the incremental revenues, positive tailwinds from the Global 7500 pricing and the near completion of the company’s cost reduction plan. Adjusted EBIT(2) is expected to grow to greater than $695 million, an increase of 36% year-over-year.

Bombardier also expects continued positive free cash flow(2) generation, which is expected to be greater than $250 million​ in 2023, including one-time payments related to residual value guarantees estimated at approximately $125 million, and net additions to PP&E and intangible assets around $350 million.

“We are confidently beginning the new year guiding for growth for a third consecutive year, and look forward to providing a deep dive on our fundamentals and detailed strategic plans next month in our Investor Day, where my colleagues and I will have the opportunity to present our trajectory towards our 2025 objectives compared with our initial expectations when we first laid them out in 2021,” said Martel.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release includes forward-looking statements, which may involve, but are not limited to: statements with respect to our objectives, anticipations and outlook or guidance in respect of various financial and global metrics and sources of contribution thereto, targets, goals, priorities, market and strategies, financial position, financial performance, market position, capabilities, competitive strengths, credit ratings, beliefs, prospects, plans, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions; general economic and business outlook, prospects and trends of an industry; customer value; expected demand for products and services; growth strategy; product development, including projected design, characteristics, capacity or performance; expected or scheduled entry-into-service of products and services, orders, deliveries, testing, lead times, certifications and execution of orders in general; competitive position; expectations regarding revenue and backlog mix; the expected impact of the legislative and regulatory environment and legal proceedings; strength of capital profile and balance sheet, creditworthiness, available liquidities and capital resources, expected financial requirements, and ongoing review of strategic and financial alternatives; the introduction of productivity enhancements, operational efficiencies, cost reduction and restructuring initiatives, and anticipated costs, intended benefits and timing thereof; the ability to continue business transition to growth cycle and cash generation; expectations, objectives and strategies regarding debt repayment, refinancing of maturities and interest cost reduction; compliance with restrictive debt covenants; expectations regarding the declaration and payment of dividends on our preferred shares; intentions and objectives for our programs, assets and operations; expectations regarding the availability of government assistance programs; both the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of the ongoing military conflict between Ukraine and Russia on the foregoing and the effectiveness of plans and measures we have implemented in response thereto; and expectations regarding the strength of the market, inflationary and supply chain pressures, and ongoing economic recovery in the aftermath of the 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 of the MD&A of the Corporation’s financial report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. 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 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. 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.
