Bank of Montreal (NYSE:BMO) reported a 1% increase in adjusted net income and earnings per share, reaching $2 billion and $2.62, respectively. The bank achieved a 12% growth in pre-provision pre-tax earnings (PPPT), demonstrating strong performance across its diversified businesses. BMO's capital position remains robust with a CET1 ratio of 13.5%, supporting client needs, growth investments, and shareholder returns through share buybacks and dividend increases. BMO Wealth Management delivered a return on equity of 29% year to date, with strong net new asset growth and market share gains in Canadian mutual funds. BMO Capital Markets exceeded guidance with strong trading revenue, particularly in commodities, and continued strength in securitization, contributing to a PPPT of $684 million. The economic backdrop in North America remains challenging, with GDP growth expected to slow to 1% in Canada and 1.3% in the US in 2025. Impaired provisions for credit losses remain a concern, with ongoing uncertainty and volatility in the economic environment related to trade policies. BMO's US P&C segment experienced a sequential decline in commercial loan growth, reflecting muted borrowing demand in the market. The bank's non-interest revenue was impacted by markdowns in capital markets and a loss on the sale of a US non-relationship credit card portfolio. Macro uncertainties have kept demand muted across client segments, affecting business activity and loan demand in both Canada and the US. Q: Can you discuss the outlook for US commercial loan growth and the strategy for optimizing funding in the US? A: Darryl White, CEO, explained that while the US commercial loan growth has been muted, the bank is committed to improving ROE, particularly in the US. The focus is on optimizing the balance sheet and repricing lower-value deposits, which has improved NIM by 5 basis points. Erminia Johannson, Head of North American Personal and Business Banking, added that the strategy involves building deeper relationships in core deposits and acquiring new customers. Nadim Hirji, Head of BMO Commercial Banking, noted that while borrowing demand is muted, pipelines are healthy, and sentiment is improving, which could lead to positive loan growth in the latter half of the year. Q: Are there more opportunities for balance sheet restructuring in the US following the sale of the credit card portfolio? A: Tayfun Tuzun, CFO, stated that the bank is continuously evaluating its balance sheet to improve ROE. While no specific announcements were made, it is reasonable to expect more decisions in the future as part of their strategic plan. Q: What are you hearing from US commercial customers that makes you comfortable with the current credit allowances? A: Piyush Agrawal, Chief Risk Officer, mentioned that the credit situation is stable, and customers are managing well despite the economic environment. Nadim Hirji added that customer sentiment is improving, and they are focusing on cost discipline and strategic planning, which supports a positive outlook for the commercial book. Q: How are you approaching the US stress test results, and will it affect capital allocation? A: Tayfun Tuzun, CFO, indicated that the bank's strong capital position in the US is expected to continue, and the stress test results are not anticipated to have a significant impact on capital management. Q: Can you elaborate on the potential impact of tariffs on your credit model and PCL expectations? A: Piyush Agrawal, Chief Risk Officer, explained that the economic forecast has been adjusted to reflect a weaker outlook due to tariffs, impacting Canadian GDP and unemployment projections. However, the bank remains cautiously optimistic, and PCLs are expected to remain manageable unless there is a significant escalation in trade tensions.

Release Date: May 14, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. CAE Inc (NYSE:CAE) delivered an exceptional fourth quarter, generating $289 million in free cash flow and a record $814 million for the full year. The company secured $1.3 billion in new orders in the quarter, leading to a record end-of-year adjusted backlog of $20.1 billion, up 65% from last year. Civil segment achieved a record adjusted segment operating margin of 28.6% in Q4 and 21.5% for the year, with a 37% increase in backlog to $8.8 billion. Defense segment showed significant improvement with an adjusted segment operating income margin of 9.2% in the quarter and a near doubling of the adjusted defense backlog to $11.3 billion. CAE Inc (NYSE:CAE) is well-positioned for long-term growth with strong fundamentals in both commercial and business aviation, supported by a robust order backlog and strategic expansion into new markets like air traffic controller training. Ongoing constraints in global aircraft supply and a temporary drop in US pilot hiring have impacted the Civil segment. Average training center utilization decreased to 75% in Q4 from 78% the prior year, mainly due to a reduction in pilot hiring in the Americas. Net finance expense increased to $56.5 million this quarter, up from $52.4 million in the fourth quarter of last year. The effective tax rate increased to 25% this quarter compared to 14% in the fourth quarter last year, impacting net income. The company expects modestly lower simulator deliveries in the first half of fiscal 2026 due to ongoing supply chain constraints affecting OEM aircraft output. Q: Can you elaborate on the factors underpinning your Civil outlook, particularly regarding commercial versus business jet training demand and the margin outlook for the year? A: Marc Parent, President and CEO, explained that CAE is taking a measured approach due to a cautious tone from airlines and some softness observed late in the fiscal year. The second half is typically stronger, and they expect a moderate environment in the first half. Training demand remains resilient, with regional variations, and pilot activity has picked up in the U.S. However, aircraft delivery constraints continue to affect simulator deliveries. Nick Leontidis, COO, added that pilot hiring and aircraft deliveries are improving but not at last year's levels, affecting the overall forecast. Q: What is the current state of the flight operations business, and how is it performing relative to expectations? A: Marc Parent noted that CAE is winning a disproportionate share of the market, with a growing order book and capacity constraints due to the pace of airline operational changes. The business is focused on SaaS-type orders, leading to revenue and earnings recognition over several years. Nick Leontidis added that the business has ramped up significantly with $700 million in orders, and the best is yet to come as they implement solutions and generate revenue. Q: Can you discuss the defense margin outlook and what factors are influencing it? A: Marc Parent stated that CAE is not putting a lid on defense margins, expecting continued progression similar to the past year. The outlook is driven by strong program execution and ramping up higher-margin programs. The defense backlog of $11.3 billion positions CAE well for higher quality, higher margin work. The fundamentals have improved, and CAE is confident in the trajectory of the defense business. Q: How should we think about working capital and cash conversion for the fiscal year? A: Constantino Malatesta, Interim CFO, emphasized the focus on capital discipline and non-cash working capital efficiency. CAE aims to maintain a leverage target of 2.5 times by the end of the year, supported by recurring cash generation and disciplined capital allocation. The strong free cash flow performance in the past year is expected to continue. Q: What are the expectations for CapEx in fiscal 2026, and where will growth CapEx be directed? A: Constantino Malatesta indicated that CapEx will be modestly lower than last year, with 75% directed towards market needs and 25% for maintenance. The focus is on organic growth and capital efficiency, with investments in new training locations and simulator deployments. Marc Parent added that CAE is consolidating and operationalizing opportunities from previous investments, with CapEx intensity decreasing from peak levels.

Our management also uses non-IFRS measures for purposes of comparing to prior periods; preparing annual operating budgets; developing future projections and earnings growth prospects; measuring the profitability of ongoing operations; analyzing our financial condition, business performance and trends, including the operating performance of the business after taking into consideration the acquisitions of dental practices; and determining components of employee compensation. As such, these measures are provided as additional information to complement IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management's perspective, including how we evaluate our financial performance and how we manage our capital structure. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use these non-IFRS and other financial measures and industry metrics in the evaluation of issuers. These non-IFRS and other financial measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS, may include or exclude certain items as compared to similar IFRS measures and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. For further information on non-IFRS and other financial measures and ratios, including the most directly comparable IFRS measures, composition of the measures, a description of how we use these measures, an explanation of how these measures are useful to investors and applicable reconciliations, refer to the 'Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures', 'Non-IFRS Financial Measures', 'Non-IFRS Ratios' and 'Certain Supplementary Financial Measures' sections of management's discussion and analysis of operations for the three months and year ended March 31, 2025, which is available on the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at Article content 'EBITDA' means, for the applicable period, net loss and comprehensive loss plus (a) net finance costs, (b) income tax expense (recovery), and (c) depreciation and amortization. Management does not use EBITDA as a financial performance metric, but we present EBITDA to assist investors in understanding the mathematical development of Adjusted EBITDA and Same Practice EBITDA Growth. The most comparable IFRS measure to EBITDA is Net loss and comprehensive loss, for which a reconciliation is provided below. Article content Adjusted EBITDA Article content 'Adjusted EBITDA' is calculated by adding to EBITDA certain expenses, costs, charges or benefits incurred in such period which in management's view are either not indicative of underlying business performance or impact the ability to assess the operating performance of our business, including: (a) net impact of unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses on non-cash balances; (b) share-based compensation; (c) external acquisition expenses; (d) change in fair value of financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss; (e) other corporate costs; (f) loss on disposal of dental practices; (g) loss on disposal and impairment of property and equipment and intangible assets; (h) loss on settlement of other receivables; (i) impairment of right-of-use assets; (j) post-employment benefits; and (k) short-term benefits.

Article content PF Adjusted EBITDA Article content 'PF Adjusted EBITDA' in respect of a period means Adjusted EBITDA for that period plus the Company's estimate of the additional Adjusted EBITDA that it would have recorded if it had acquired each of the dental practices that it acquired during that period on the first day of that period, calculated in accordance with the methodology described in the reconciliation table in 'Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures'. Both creditors and the Company use PF Adjusted EBITDA to assess our borrowing capacity, which management believes, given the highly acquisitive nature of our business, is more reflective of our operating performance.

Article content 'Net debt / PF Adjusted EBITDA after rent Ratio' means non-current borrowings divided by PF Adjusted EBITDA after rent. We use Net debt / PF Adjusted EBITDA after rent Ratio to assess our borrowing capacity. Article content Same Practice Revenue Growth Article content 'Same Practice Revenue Growth' in respect of a period means the percentage change in revenue derived from Established Practices in that period as compared to revenue from the same dental practices in the corresponding period in the immediately prior year.

Article content Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon management's perceptions of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as a number of specific factors and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by management as of the date on which the statements are made, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies which could result in actions, events, conditions, results, performance or achievements to be different or materially different from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking information is based on many factors and assumptions including, but not limited to, the impact of, and the enrollment of patients in, the CDCP; expectations regarding the Company's business, operations and capital structure; that the Company's acquisition program continues as it has historically, including the Company maintaining its ability to continue to make and integrate acquisitions at attractive valuations including a reduction in acquisition purchase multiples as compared to prior periods; the Company's ability to realize pricing increases, materially driven by Provincial fee guides; a continued increase in patient visit volumes through patient recall and insourcing initiatives that drive the expansion of service offerings and frequency of visits to contribute to optimal patient care; the impact of the investments the Company has made in its corporate infrastructure and teams, and the upgrades to its core information technology systems; the Company's ability to mitigate anticipated supply chain disruptions, geopolitical risks, inflationary pressures and labour shortages, and generate cash flow; no changes in the competitive environment or legal or regulatory developments affecting our business; and visits by patients to our Practices at or above the same rate as current visits. Article content Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking information as a result of known and unknown risk factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, and could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Such risks include, but are not limited to, the Company's potential inability to successfully execute its growth strategy and complete additional acquisitions; its dependence on the integration and success of its acquired dental practices; its dependence on the parties with which the Company has contractual arrangements and obligations; changes in relevant laws, governmental regulations and policy and the costs incurred in the course of complying with such changes; risks relating to the current economic environment, including the impact of any tariffs and retaliatory tariffs on the economy; risk associated with disease outbreaks; competition in the dental industry; increases in operating costs; litigation and regulatory risk; and the risk of a failure in internal controls and other factors described under 'Risk Factors' in the Company's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2024 and in this release. Accordingly, we warn readers to exercise caution when considering statements containing forward-looking information and caution them that it would be unreasonable to rely on such statements as creating legal rights regarding the Company's future results or plans. We are under no obligation (and we expressly disclaim any such obligation) to update or alter any statements containing forward-looking information or the factors or assumptions underlying them, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by applicable securities laws. All of the forward-looking information in this release is qualified by the cautionary statements herein.
