MONTREAL, CANADA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/08/12 -- (NYSE: CAE)(TSX: CAE) - CAE today reported financial results for the third quarter ended December 31, 2011. Net income attributable to equity holders of the company was C$45.6 million (C$0.18 per share) this quarter, up 18% compared to C$38.5 million (C$0.15 per share) last year. All financial information is in Canadian dollars.
Revenue for the quarter was $453.1 million, 10% higher than $410.8 million in the third quarter last year. Third quarter operating profit(1) was $77.5 million, or 17.1% of revenue.
"We are pleased with our financial performance this quarter with stronger margins in both our civil and defence business units," said Marc Parent, CAE's President and Chief Executive Officer. "The level of civil aviation market activity remains high in all regions and our order intake reflects our strong competitive position. Although procurement delays in defence continue to make predicting the timing of orders a challenge, we won contracts with key defence customers during the quarter. As well, we remain encouraged by the range of global opportunities in our pipeline."

Additional financial highlights
Income taxes this quarter were $15.2 million representing an effective tax rate of 25%, compared to 29% last year. The decrease was mainly due to the settlement of a tax audit in Canada as well as a change in the mix of income from various jurisdictions.
Free cash flow(4) was $46.2 million this quarter owing to a favourable change in non-cash working capital compared to last year and more cash provided by continuing operations.
Capital expenditures totalled $44.1 million this quarter, including $25.3 million in support of our growth initiatives and the balance for maintenance.
Net debt(5) was $593.9 million as at December 31, 2011 compared with $618.8 million as at September 30, 2011. The decrease of $24.9 million was mainly due to favourable foreign exchange movements.
CAE will pay a dividend of $0.04 per share on March 30, 2012 to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 15, 2012.

Notes
(1) Operating profit is a non-GAAP measure that shows us how we have performed before the effects of certain financing decisions and tax structures. We track operating profit 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) Backlog is a non-GAAP measure that represents the expected value of orders we have received but have not yet executed.
(3) Unfunded backlog is a non-GAAP measure that represents firm military orders we have received but have not yet executed for which funding authorization has not yet been obtained. We include unexercised options with a high probability that they will be exercised, but exclude indefinite-delivery/ indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts.
(4) Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure that shows 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 not related to growth and dividends paid and adding proceeds from disposal of property, plant and equipment.
(5) 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, including the current portion of long-term debt, and subtracting cash and cash equivalents.
