Consolidated revenue this quarter was $438.8 million compared to $366.6 million in the fourth quarter last year. Consolidated revenue for the year was $1.66 billion, compared to $1.42 billion in 2008.

Net earnings, including the impact of discontinued operations, were $51.3 million in the fourth quarter and $199.4 million for the year.

Fourth-quarter consolidated earnings before interest and taxes(1) (EBIT) were $78.1 million, or 17.8% of revenue. EBIT for the year was $303.6 million, or 18.3% of revenue compared with $251.5 million last year, or 17.7% of revenue.

"CAE delivered a strong performance this past fiscal year because we successfully executed our diversification strategy and maintained our financial discipline." said Robert E. Brown, CAE's President and Chief Executive Officer. "The impact of the aerospace market downturn to date has been mitigated by our geographic diversification, our backlog of civil orders from the past few years, and from the portion of our business that is defence related. For the first time in our history, military orders exceeded $1 billion.

During the past five years we have been unrelenting in our pursuit of diversification, innovation and productivity. We have made good progress and succeeded to overcome a number of major challenges. Marc Parent, Executive Vice President and COO, has recently led a comprehensive corporate review to identify additional opportunities for synergies among our four business units and within our global structure. We are now implementing a series of organizational changes which will make CAE even more competitive by bringing its senior people closer to our customers while increasing efficiency. Concurrent with this initiative, we are taking further actions required to size the company to current and expected market conditions.

In order to better serve our customers, we are refining our business structure to create a leaner, more regionally accountable organization that will compete even more effectively in the market. We are placing greater responsibility within our regions to reduce costs and to provide more decision-making capabilities to those closest to our customers. This reorganization provides a more efficient management structure that derives synergies through shared services for engineering, manufacturing and support functions. We are consolidating the leadership of our two civil business segments to provide customers with a single portfolio of solutions.

Aerospace companies are facing extraordinary challenges and CAE is being tested as well. Our military business has never been stronger but we expect civil orders to decline in the current context. As a result, we are taking exceptional actions which will be concentrated in two phases - the first of which is already underway. Overall, we will be laying off 700 of our 7,000 employees, which represents 10 percent of our workforce: 380 in the coming weeks and the balance in the fall. All employees affected will be advised in the coming days. Approximately 600 out of the 700 employees affected are based in Montreal where we produce our civil simulators. The rest are based in our other locations around the world. Included in the layoffs are 70 management positions.

We regret the hardship this will cause those affected and we are grateful to all of our employees for their dedication. We intend to do what we can to help them through this difficult period. We estimate a restructuring expense of approximately $34 million for both phases to be recorded in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010.

We are implementing cost-containment measures that will allow us to secure other jobs. Effective immediately, management and most other employees globally will be subject to a salary freeze and will have five mandatory furlough days over the current fiscal year. We have also introduced new limits on overtime, and we are offering early retirement incentives to qualifying employees.

These initiatives will allow us to substantially offset the cost of the reorganization this year and we expect annualized recurring cost savings of about $15 million going forward.

Change is part of our culture and CAE's employees have a proven ability to adapt. We have a well diversified base and a sound financial structure, and now we have a plan to manage the downturn while still delivering value to shareholders. Our reorganization will position us to take advantage of the eventual upturn in the civil market and to emerge even stronger when the market recovers."

Business segment highlights

With more than $544 million of military orders in the fourth quarter alone, we concluded the fiscal year with record order activity in our military segments. Military orders totaled $1.09 billion and represented the largest annual military order intake in CAE's history. Key contract awards included the Government of Canada C-130J aircrew training, a contract extension with the Commonwealth of Australia for training support services and a contract to develop Hawk 128 full-mission simulators for the U.K.'s Military Flying Training System (MFTS) program. As well, we won a series of contracts with the U.S. Navy for MH-60S/R simulators. Fiscal year 2009 also marked for CAE and our partners the inauguration of NH90 helicopter training at the German Army Aviation School in Bueckeburg.

In Training and Services/Civil we secured training and services contracts valued at approximately $464 million and succeeded in growing our average RSEUs (Revenue Simulator Equivalent Units) by approximately 10% year over year. RSEUs were 118 for the fiscal year and 123 for the fourth quarter. With simulator builds and deployments already in progress, we expect a further 10% increase in average annual RSEUs by the end of fiscal 2010 as we develop a critical mass of simulator types to target the already installed base of aircraft.

We won orders for four civil full-flight simulators (FFSs) during the fourth quarter, bringing the total number for the fiscal year to 34. Since the start of the new fiscal year we have announced two FFS sales. We currently expect to receive approximately 20 orders for fiscal year 2010 and will update this figure as the year progresses and market conditions become clearer. We continued to have success with our breakthrough CAE 5000 full-flight simulator with sales to Aeroflot Russian Airlines, Avianca Airlines of Columbia, Sofia Flight Training of Bulgaria, the Zhuhai Flight Training Centre in China and the Embraer CAE Training Services joint venture.

At the end of the fourth quarter we reaffirmed our commitment to technological leadership with the announcement of Project Falcon, a five-year investment plan for up to $714 million for research and development, which is expected to maintain or create approximately 1,000 high-value jobs over the next five years.

Fourth quarter revenue in the TS/C segment increased 16% over the same period last year. Good operational performance, the deployment of additional RSEUs to our network and results from acquired companies, Sabena Flight Academy and Academia Aeronautica de Evora S.A. mainly explain the increase. As well, the weaker Canadian dollar against our main operating currencies helped to offset market pressures in North America and preliminary indications of softness in Europe.

Revenue for the year was up 21% to $460.5 million.

Segment operating income was $23.7 million (19.5% of revenue) in the fourth quarter, compared to $21.6 million (17.9% of revenue) last quarter and $23.8 million (22.8% of revenue) in the fourth quarter last year. We made further progress integrating Sabena Flight Academy and continued to ramp-up our North East and Burgess Hill training centres. These gains were partially offset by market pressure in North America.

For the year, segment operating income increased 16% to $85.1 million (18.5% of revenue), compared to $73.5 million (19.2% of revenue) last year.

New orders for the year totalled $463.7 million, and segment backlog reached $1,006.4 million. The book-to-sales ratio was 1.01x.

Revenue in the SP/C segment was $107.3 million during the fourth quarter, stable compared to the same period last year. Revenue for the year reached $477.5 million, an increase of 10% over the prior year. We delivered 38 FFSs to our customers in fiscal year 2009 compared to 29 in 2008.

Segment operating income was $18.5 million (17.2% of revenue) in the fourth quarter, down by 22% over the same period last year. We had a $2.2 million charge resulting from a hedging instrument that was unwound following the termination of a contract with a customer. As well, the weaker Canadian dollar resulted in higher costs on U.S. dollar and euro-denominated content.

For the year, segment operating income was $92.1 million (19.3% of revenue), $2.8 million lower than last year as a result of the higher costs noted above and a lower contribution from our research and development cost-sharing program Project Phoenix.

During the year, we received orders for 34 civil FFSs. Orders for the year totalled $383.2 million, and segment backlog reached $288.2 million.

Military segments

Revenue in the fourth quarter for our combined Military business was $210.1 million and operating income was $35.9 million, resulting in an operating margin of 17.1%.

Combined revenue for the year was $724.2 million and operating income was $126.4 million, resulting in an operating margin of 17.5%.

Combined new orders totaled a record $1,093.3 million, up 47% compared to $746.1 million booked in fiscal 2008. For the year, the book-to-sales ratio was 1.51x.

Revenue in the SP/M segment was $143.6 million in the fourth quarter, up by 41% year over year. The increase comes mainly from a higher level of activity on a number of our simulator contracts awarded in fiscal 2009 - most notably on our various NH90 programs - combined with the positive impact of a lower Canadian dollar.

Revenue for the year was $483.5 million, up 26% because of higher activity levels on helicopter and transport aircraft programs.

Segment operating income this quarter was $26.8 million (18.7% of revenue), up 85% year over year.

Segment operating income for the year was $87.7 million (18.1% of revenue), up 70% year over year.

Improvements in both periods are the result of increased activity, higher contributions to R&D from Project Phoenix in keeping with higher business volume, higher investment tax credits, and our attainment of milestones on several NH-90 programs.

New orders for the year totalled $599.4 million and segment backlog reached $893.0 million at the end of the year, for a book-to-sales ratio of 1.24x.

Revenue in the TS/M segment was $66.5 million for the fourth quarter, up by 23% year over year.

Revenue for the year in the TS/M segment was $240.7 million, up by 8% over last year.

We had a high level of activity this year in our Professional Services business and from the SE Core program in the U.S. As well, we benefitted from the lower Canadian dollar against the euro and the U.S. dollar, which was partially offset by the weakness of the British pound.

Segment operating income was $9.1 million this quarter, up 20% from the same period last year as we had higher volume and better margins on some maintenance service contracts. We also received a $1.2 million dividend from a U.K.-based investment, which was not received during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. This dividend is recurring but is not necessarily received during the same fiscal quarter.

Segment operating income for the year was $38.7 million, 23% higher than last year as a result of the benefits described above.

New orders this year totalled $493.9 million and segment backlog reached $994.2 million at the end of the year. The book-to-sales ratio was 2.05x.

Cash flow and financial position

This year we generated $195.5 million of net cash from continuing operations. We invested $54.5 million in maintenance capital expenditures, and paid cash dividends of $29.6 million. As a result, we generated free cash flow(2) of $106.4 million. This is $55.9 million lower than last year as a result of higher investment in non-cash working capital (up $78.9 million) and higher dividends (up 19.8 million) to shareholders.

Inventory has increased by $104.3 million due to the growth of unbilled sales.

Total capex in FY2009 was $203.7 million of which $149.2 million was for investment in growth capital expenditures. We expect total capital expenditures in fiscal year 2010 to be approximately $150 million.

Net debt(3) was $285.1 million at March 31, 2009, up $161 million from last year mainly from lower cash before proceeds and repayment of long-term debt and the depreciation of the Canadian dollar against our foreign-denominated debt.

CAE will pay a dividend of $0.03 per share on June 30, 2009 to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 15, 2009.

Additional consolidated financial results

Orders and backlog

The consolidated backlog was $3.182 billion at the end of this year, compared to $2.900 billion at the end of last year. New orders of $1.940 billion were added to backlog, offset by $1.662 billion in revenue generated from backlog.

Income taxes

Income taxes were $82.9 million this year, representing an effective tax rate of 29%. This is lower than the 30% rate the year prior because of the mix of income we generated in various jurisdictions. We expect the effective income tax rate for fiscal 2010 to be approximately 31%.

They have also been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under Form 40-F and are available on EDGAR (www.sec.gov). You will also find on our web site the English MD&A for the fiscal year 2009. The forward-looking statements contained in this news release represent our expectations as of May 14, 2009 and, accordingly, are subject to change after this date.

We do not update or revise forward-looking information even if new information becomes available unless legislation requires us to do so. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Notes

(1) Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) is a non-GAAP measure that shows us how we have performed before the effects of certain financing decisions and tax structures. We track EBIT because we believe it makes it easier to compare our performance with previous periods, and with companies and industries that do not have the same capital structure or tax laws.

(2) Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure that tells us how much cash we have available to build the business, repay debt and meet ongoing financial obligations. We use it as an indicator of our financial strength and liquidity. We calculate it by taking the net cash generated by our continuing operating activities, subtracting maintenance capital expenditures, other assets and dividends paid. Dividends are deducted in the calculation of free cash flow because we consider them an obligation, like interest on debt, which means that amount is not available for other uses.

(3) Net debt is a non-GAAP measure we use to monitor how much debt we have after taking into account liquid assets such as cash and cash equivalents. We use it as an indicator of our overall financial position, and calculate it by taking our total long-term debt (debt that matures in more than one year), including the current portion, and subtracting cash and cash equivalents.
