Forward-looking information and statements
This press release contains "forward-looking information" within
the meaning of Canadian securities laws and "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the United States Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other applicable
United States safe harbours. All
such forward-looking information and statements are made and
disclosed in reliance upon the safe harbour provisions of
applicable Canadian and United
States securities laws. Forward-looking information and
statements include all information and statements regarding CGI's
intentions, plans, expectations, beliefs, objectives, future
performance, and strategy, as well as any other information or
statements that relate to future events or circumstances and which
do not directly and exclusively relate to historical facts.
Forward-looking information and statements often but not always use
words such as "believe", "estimate", "expect", "intend",
"anticipate", "foresee", "plan", "predict", "project", "aim",
"seek", "strive", "potential", "continue", "target", "may",
"might", "could", "should", and similar expressions and variations
thereof. These information and statements are based on our
perception of historic trends, current conditions and expected
future developments, as well as other assumptions, both general and
specific, that we believe are appropriate in the circumstances.
Such information and statements are, however, by their very nature,
subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, of which many are
beyond the control of CGI, and which give rise to the possibility
that actual results could differ materially from our expectations
expressed in, or implied by, such forward-looking information or
forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include
but are not restricted to: risks related to the market such as the
level of business activity of our clients, which is affected by
economic and political conditions, additional external risks (such
as pandemics, armed conflict, climate-related issues and inflation)
and our ability to negotiate new contracts; risks related to our
industry such as competition and our ability to develop and expand
our services to address emerging business demands and technology
trends (such as artificial intelligence), to penetrate new markets,
and to protect our intellectual property rights; risks related to
our business such as risks associated with our growth strategy,
including the integration of new operations, financial and
operational risks inherent in worldwide operations, foreign
exchange risks, income tax laws and other tax programs, the
termination, modification, delay or suspension of our contractual
agreements, our expectations regarding future revenue resulting
from bookings and backlog, our ability to attract and retain
qualified employees, to negotiate favourable contractual terms, to
deliver our services and to collect receivables, to disclose,
manage and implement environmental, social and governance (ESG)
initiatives and standards, and to achieve ESG commitments and
targets, including without limitation, our commitment to net-zero
carbon emissions, as well as the reputational and financial risks
attendant to cybersecurity breaches and other incidents, including
through the use of artificial intelligence, and financial risks
such as liquidity needs and requirements, maintenance of financial
ratios, our ability to declare and pay dividends, interest rate
fluctuations and changes in creditworthiness and credit ratings; as
well as other risks identified or incorporated by reference in this
press release, in CGI's annual MD&A and in other documents
that we make public, including our filings with the Canadian
Securities Administrators (on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca) and
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (on EDGAR at
www.sec.gov). Unless otherwise stated, the forward-looking
information and statements contained in this press release are made
as of the date hereof and CGI disclaims any intention or obligation
to publicly update or revise any forward-looking information or
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
While we believe that our assumptions on which these
forward-looking information and forward-looking statements are
based were reasonable as at the date of this press release, readers
are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking
information or statements. Furthermore, readers are reminded that
forward-looking information and statements are presented for the
sole purpose of assisting investors and others in understanding our
objectives, strategic priorities and business outlook as well as
our anticipated operating environment. Readers are cautioned that
such information may not be appropriate for other purposes.
Further information on the risks that could cause our actual
results to differ significantly from our current expectations may
be found in the section titled Risk Environment of CGI's annual
MD&A, which is incorporated by reference in this cautionary
statement. We also caution readers that the above-mentioned risks
and the risks disclosed in CGI's annual MD&A and other
documents and filings are not the only ones that could affect us.
Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or
that we currently deem to be immaterial could also have a material
adverse effect on our financial position, financial performance,
cash flows, business or reputation.
Non-GAAP and other key performance measures
Non-GAAP financial measures and ratios used in this press
release: Constant currency revenue growth, adjusted EBIT, adjusted
EBIT margin, net earnings excluding specific items, net earnings
margin excluding specific items, diluted EPS excluding specific
items, net debt, net debt to capitalization ratio, and return on
invested capital (ROIC). CGI reports its financial results in
accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. However, management
believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to
investors regarding the company's financial condition and results
of operations as they provide additional measures of its
performance. These measures do not have any standardized meaning
prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards and are therefore unlikely
to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers and
should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a
substitute for the related financial information prepared in
accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Key performance measures
used in this press release: cash from operating activities as a
percentage of revenue, bookings, book-to-bill ratio, backlog, days
sales outstanding (DSO), earnings before income taxes margin, and
net earnings margin.
Below are reconciliations to the most comparable IFRS Accounting
Standards financial measures and ratios, as applicable.
The descriptions of these non-GAAP measures and ratios and other
key performance measures can be found on pages 3, 4 and 5 of our
F2024 MD&A which is posted on CGI's website, and filed
with the Canadian Securities Administrators on SEDAR+ at
www.sedarplus.ca and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on
EDGAR at www.sec.gov.
