CGI feels effects of U.S. government cuts as U.S. bookings slow
MONTREAL - The head of CGI Inc. says bookings by U.S. government clients dropped sharply in its latest quarter amid economic uncertainty and a spending crackdown by a task force led by billionaire Elon Musk. Though its overall profits inched up, the information technology consulting firm reported that its book-to-bill ratio — a measure of orders received to sales billed, a key indicator of near-term demand for a company's services — fell to 40 per cent at its American subsidiary in its second quarter. Named CGI Federal, the company's U.S. arm provides IT services to government departments and agencies south of the border, generating about $2 billion in annual sales, or 14 per cent of CGI's total revenue last year. Chief executive François Boulanger said the subsidiary's clients remain wary of big contracts amid a broader climate of 'uncertainty,' opting instead for short extensions of existing deals. 'Instead of signing a five-year renewal or three-year renewal, what's happening is that they'll sign bridge contracts to continue the work, but not necessarily doing big renewals until they'll have a better understanding of the new processes and the new way that they would procure in the future,' he told analysts on a conference call Wednesday. CGI remains in a precarious position stateside. Earlier this year, it found itself in the crosshairs of budget-slashing efforts by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which U.S. President Donald Trump tapped Musk to lead. According to a memo sent to federal officials in February, CGI Federal is one of 10 major consulting companies under scrutiny after the government's procurement arm asked all federal agencies to review and justify contracts with those firms last month, making them prime targets for potential cuts. DOGE claims to have ended six contracts with CGI Federal in February and March. It says the move yielded US$465,000 in savings for a government whose budget last year hit US$6.75 trillion. The cost-slashing from the agency hasn't been all bad for CGI. It said this week that it will work with the Trump administration to prevent government fraud, launching a platform designed to help the government sniff out waste and abuse. 'CGI is committed to supporting the administration's objective to prevent fraud, waste and abuse across the federal government through our innovative solution,' said Stephanie Mango, president of CGI Federal, in a release Monday. Boulanger framed CGI's relationship with the Trump team another way, saying he expected to see certain contracts renewed when push comes to shove. On Thursday, CGI reported its second-quarter profit nudged up to $429.7 million compared with $426.9 million in the same period a year earlier. Revenue for the three months ended March 31 increased nearly eight per cent to $4.02 billion from $3.74 billion the year before. On an adjusted basis, the Montreal-based company earned $2.12 per diluted share, up from an adjusted profit of $1.97 per diluted share a year earlier and roughly on par with analysts' expectations, according to financial markets firm LSEG Data & Analytics. Bookings for the quarter totalled $4.48 billion for a healthy book-to-bill ratio of 1.11, while the company's backlog stood at $30.99 billion at the end of the quarter. This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 30, 2025. Companies in this story: (TSX:GIB.A)

Key safety notification system for pilots to be replaced years ahead of schedule
A key aviation safety system that failed twice in the last three years and caused the only US airspace shutdown since 9/11 will be replaced years ahead of schedule, the Trump administration says. The Federal Aviation Administration's Notice to Airmen, or NOTAM system, was slated to be replaced in 2030. Now, the FAA says a new, modernized system will be online by September. 'The FAA used a streamlined, innovative vendor challenge to cut through red tape to get this critical work done as fast as possible,' the agency said in a news release. NOTAMs are bulletins that all pilots are required to read before taking off. They include critical safety information such as runway and taxiway closures. The system failed in January 2023, triggering the FAA to institute a nationwide ground stop the following morning, which led to thousands of flight delays. An outage on February 1 of this year led the FAA to use a backup system, but officials said there was 'minimal disruption' to flights. 'Over the last few years, we've seen multiple system outages ground regional air travel, create extensive delays, and otherwise ruin the flying experience for the American people,' Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said in a statement. 'NOTAM modernization is the first step as we work to deliver an all-new air traffic control system that makes air travel safer and more efficient.' The FAA said it awarded the contract to CGI Federal, Inc., a subsidiary of the Canadian IT firm CGI. This is not the first time the Trump administration has focused on changing the NOTAM system. In February, an FAA order revised the Biden-era name change to 'Notice to Air Missions,' which was created in 2021, on the grounds that it was 'inclusive of all aviators and missions.'
