As is its usual practice, Bombardier will provide its official guidance for the fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 2016, during its fourth quarter 2015 earnings conference call to be held in February, 2016. However, as the corporation continues to complete its assessment in preparation for its 2016 guidance, Bombardier is hereby providing directional indicators reflecting its initial view of the respective areas of performance for the 2016 fiscal year in relation to the fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 2015.
In short, 2016 will be a year of transition:
- Bombardier expects its liquidity position to be strong, driven by the
previously announced investments from the Caisse de depot et placement
du Quebec (CDPQ) in Bombardier Transportation and from the government of
Quebec in the C series program, in each case once completed upon
satisfaction of their respective conditions to completion.
- Cash usage is expected to improve as a result of Bombardier
Transportation deliveries and the previously announced reset of the
production rate for the Global 5000 and Global 6000 aircraft.
- The reset of the Global 5000 and Global 6000 production rates will be
driving revenue down.
- Earnings before interest and taxes will be lower due to these same factors as well as from the C
series program ramp-up.
- Two thousand sixteen will also be a year of disciplined execution of the Bombardier
transformation plan and of its aerospace programs, positioning the
corporation well to gradually rebuild earnings and cash flow toward its
2018 and 2020 objectives, as outlined in the presentation materials
posted on Bombardier's website today.
Additional details, including directional indicators of 2016 performance for the corporation's business segments, will be available in the presentation materials posted on Bombardier's website today.
We seek Safe Harbor.
