to Alstom, this press release also contains forward-looking statements with
respect to the benefits of such transaction, the use of the proceeds derived
from the transaction and its impact on our outlook, guidance and targets,
operations, infrastructure, opportunities, financial condition, business plan
and overall strategy.
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, 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: the deployment of the proceeds from the
sale of the Transportation business to Alstom on terms allowing the
Corporation, when combined to other financing sources and free cash flow
generation, to repay or otherwise manage its various maturities for the next three
years; growth of the business aviation market and increase of 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 transaction 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
Management’s Discussion & Analysis of our financial report for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2020 (the “MD&A”) which may be viewed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Given the impact of the changing circumstances surrounding the COVID-19
pandemic and the related response from the Corporation, governments (federal,
provincial and municipal), 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, risks associated with our business
environment (such as risks associated with the financial condition of business
aircraft customers; trade policy; increased competition; political instability
and force majeure events or global climate change), operational risks (such as
risks related to developing new products and services; development of new
business ; order backlog; the transition to a pure-play business aviation
company; the certification of products and services; the execution of orders;
pressures on cash flows and capital expenditures based on seasonality and
cyclicality; execution of our strategy, productivity enhancements, operational
efficiencies, restructuring and cost reduction initiatives; doing business with
partners; product performance warranty and casualty claim losses; regulatory
and legal proceedings; environmental, health and safety risks; dependence on certain
customers, contracts and suppliers; supply chain risks; human resources;
reliance on information systems; reliance on and protection of intellectual
property rights; reputation risks; risk management; tax matters; and adequacy
of insurance coverage), financing risks (such as risks related to liquidity and
access to capital markets; retirement benefit plan risk; exposure to credit
risk; substantial debt and interest payment requirements; restrictive debt
covenants; reliance on debt management and interest cost reduction strategies;
and reliance on government support), market risks (such as foreign currency
fluctuations; changing interest rates; increases in commodity prices; and
inflation rate fluctuations). For more details, see the Risks and uncertainties
section in Other in the MD&A which may be viewed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Any one or more of the foregoing factors may be exacerbated by the ongoing
COVID-19 outbreak 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 outbreak. As a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic,
additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those anticipated in the forward-looking statements include, but are not
limited to: risks related to the impact and effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on
economic conditions and financial markets and the resulting impact on our
business, operations, capital resources, liquidity, financial condition,
margins, prospects and results; uncertainty regarding the magnitude and length
of economic disruption as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak and the resulting
effects on the demand environment for our products and services; uncertainty
regarding market and economic recovery in the aftermath of the COVID-19
pandemic; emergency measures and restrictions imposed by public health
authorities or governments, fiscal and monetary policy responses by governments
and financial institutions; disruptions to global supply chain, customers,
workforce, counterparties and third-party service providers; further
disruptions to operations, orders and deliveries; technology, privacy, cyber
security and reputational risks; and other unforeseen adverse 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 press release 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.
