Bombardier reported consolidated revenues of $4.1 billion in the quarter and $7.7 billion for the first six-month period, relative to $4.3 billion and $8.2 billion for the same periods last year, mainly as a result of previously-announced production rate adjustments in aerospace segments, consistent with market demand and continued growth in Transportation. EBIT before special items was $164 million and $292 million respectively for the quarter and year-to-date, up 55% and 24% from the same periods last year. This growth was driven by significant margin improvements at Transportation and Business Aircraft, which reached 8.2% and 8.9% respectively in the quarter. Free cash flow usage was $570 million in the quarter and $1.2 billion year-to-date, mainly as a result of the Global 7000 test program coupled with the C Series working capital and production ramp up. These results lead Bombardier to reiterate its full year guidance of revenue growth in the low-single digits, excluding currency impacts, EBIT before special items at the top half of the range, between $580 million to $630 million and free cash flow usage between $1.0 billion and $750 million.

-- Delivered 20 commercial aircraft during the quarter, including 6 C
Series, 7 CRJ Series and 7 Q400 aircraft. With year-to-date deliveries
of regional aircraft and turboprops totaling 28 aircraft, we reached the
halfway mark of our full year delivery guidance for CRJ Series and Q400
aircraft. Production is ramping-up to support approximately 30 C Series
aircraft deliveries. C Series aircraft deliveries are expected to
gradually intensify in the second half of the year.
-- Including deliveries during the month of July 2017, C Series aircraft
fleet now totals 16 aircraft, with both the CS100 and CS300 aircraft
continuing to perform well with Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS)
and Air Baltic Corporation AS (airBaltic).
-- During the quarter, we received firm orders for 12 Q400 aircraft, valued
at $397 million at list price, and letters of intent (LOI) for up to 52
Q400 aircraft, valued at up to $1.8 billion at list price. This order
activity includes an LOI from SpiceJet for up to 50 aircraft, and the
exercise of options by Philippine Airlines for 7 additional aircraft.
-- With respect to the petition filed by The Boeing Company (Boeing) before
the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade
Commission regarding the alleged threat caused by future exports of C
Series family of aircraft to the U.S., we disagree with the assertions
and are responding to the petition proceedings. We expect the U.S.
Department of Commerce to issue its preliminary determinations on
applicable duties, if any, during the fall of 2017 and to issue its
final determinations during the first half of 2018.

-- We are reaffirming our revenue guidance and increasing our EBIT margin
before special items guidance to approximately 8.0% for the year.
-- Revenue growth is gaining momentum as execution of key projects
progresses, increasing 3.6% in the second quarter compared to the same
period last fiscal year excluding the currency impact, and 4.4% on a
year-to-date basis.
-- EBIT margin before special items increased by 1.9 percentage points in
the second quarter compared to the same period last fiscal year,
reaching 8.2% in the second quarter, including the positive impacts of
transformation initiatives. EBIT margin before special items for the
six-month period reached 8.1%.
-- During the second quarter of 2017, we won several significant orders in
Europe, mainly in the U.K. and France, resulting in a book-to-bill ratio

is based on current product platforms, supporting the re-use of existing
technologies.
-- Significant progress was made during the quarter towards our ongoing
structural transformation, which will enable the multi-year site
specialization strategy. Key milestones were reached with Supervisory
Boards and unions in Germany, Switzerland and Belgium, which will lead
to gradual manpower adjustments of up to 2,200 positions in Germany, 650
in Switzerland and 160 in Belgium. In connection with those
organizational changes, severance costs of $181 million and asset write-
downs of $32 million were recorded as restructuring charges in the

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 the airline industry, business aircraft customers, and the rail industry; trade policy; increased competition; political instability and force majeure), operational risks (such as risks related to developing new products and services; development of new business; the certification and homologation of products and services; fixed-price and fixed-term commitments and production and project execution; pressures on cash flows based on project-cycle fluctuations and seasonality; our ability to successfully implement and execute our strategy and transformation plan; doing business with partners; product performance warranty and casualty claim losses; regulatory and legal proceedings; the environment; dependence on certain customers and suppliers; human resources; reliance on information systems; reliance on and protection of intellectual property rights; 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 existing debt and interest payment requirements; certain restrictive debt covenants and minimum cash levels; financing support provided for the benefit of certain customers; and reliance on government support), market risks (such as risks related to foreign currency fluctuations; changing interest rates; decreases in residual values; increases in commodity prices; and inflation rate fluctuations). For more details, see the Risks and uncertainties section in Other in the Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) of the Corporation's financial report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. For additional information with respect to the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements made in this press release, refer to the Guidance and forward-looking statements sections in the MD&A of the Corporation's financial report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
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. 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, the Corporation expressly disclaims any intention, and assumes 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.
