“In the third quarter we successfully executed against our previously announced improvement plan,” said Michael E. Roach, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We significantly improved margins and earnings per share and we were able to maintain revenue, despite continuing currency pressures.”
Third Quarter 2006 Results
Revenue in the third quarter of 2006 was lower compared with the third quarter of 2005 due to the negative impact of currency and a decrease in revenue from the company’s largest customer, BCE.
The impact of currency compared with Q3 2005 was $38.2 million while BCE spending was $40.1 million lower than Q3 2005. On a sequential basis, the negative impact of currency was $7.9 million. BCE revenue, sequentially, increased by $5.3 million.
Net earnings from continuing operations before restructuring costs related to specific items in the third quarter of 2006 were $46.4 million, compared with $34.8 million in Q2 2006 and $56.6 million in the third quarter of 2005.
Net earnings from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2006 were $35.9 million, compared with $14.1 million in the previous quarter and $56.6 million in the third quarter of 2005.

On a basic and fully diluted earnings per share basis, before restructuring costs related to specific items, the Company earned 14 cents per share, compared with 10 cents per share in the previous quarter and 13 cents per share compared with the third quarter of 2005.
On a basic and fully diluted earnings per share basis, the Company earned 11 cents per share in the third quarter, compared with 4 cents per share in the second quarter of 2006 and 13 cents per share compared with the third quarter of 2005.
Operationally, the third quarter of CGI’s fiscal 2006 was focused on maintaining revenue while improving profitability as outlined in the action plan announced on March 29, 2006. Accordingly, a pre-tax charge for severance and other related benefits, totaling $15.0 million was taken in the third quarter bringing the total charge of the program thus far to $46.3 million. The Company expects to incur the remaining charge of approximately $44 million over the course of this calendar year and continues to anticipate a one-year payback.
The Company continues to generate significant cash from operating activities, totaling $108.3 million during its third quarter compared with $82.0 million in the second quarter of 2006. In addition, the Company’s long-term debt was reduced from $962.2 million at the end of March 2006 to $810.7 million at the end of June, 2006. The Company ended the third quarter with $154.5 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand for a net long-term debt of $656.2 million.
“I am pleased with the cash generation, significant reduction in debt and overall profitability improvements experienced in the quarter,” added Roach. “With the level of current activity in the marketplace and the growing awareness of CGI as a global leader, we remain confident in our ability to profitably grow our business over time.”

Summary of significant accounting policies |
The interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, are unaudited and include all adjustments that management of CGI Group Inc. (the “Company”) considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
The disclosures provided for these interim periods do not conform in all respects to the requirements of generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for the annual consolidated financial statements; therefore, the interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended
September 30, 2005. These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2005.
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified in order to conform to the current period presentation.
Restatement
The Company provides a centralized service to the Canadian property and casualty insurance industry for the purpose of ordering abstracts of driving records from government authorities. Following its accounting reviews performed during the year ended September 30, 2005, the Company revised its interpretation of the accounting treatment related to those services. The revised interpretation required that the revenue and applicable costs of services charged to clients, which are included in Costs of services, selling and administrative expenses, be presented on a net basis rather than on a gross basis as they had been presented previously. For comparative purposes, the reclassification amounted to $14,786,000 and $40,731,000 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. The revised presentation is in accordance with Emerging Issue Committee (“EIC”) Abstract 123, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent”, which addresses whether an enterprise should recognize revenue based upon the gross amount billed to the client or the net amount retained. This reclassification had no impact on net earnings or cash flows.
Change in accounting policies
The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) has issued the following new Handbook Sections which were effective for interim periods beginning on or after
January 1, 2006:
|
|
a) |
Handbook Section 3831, “Non-Monetary Transactions”, requires that non-monetary transactions be recorded at fair value unless the transaction has no commercial substance, it is an exchange of inventory, it is non-monetary, non-reciprocal transfer to owners or it’s not reliably measurable. The adoption of this section did not have any impact on the consolidated financials statements. |

b) |
EIC 156, “Accounting by a Vendor for Consideration Given to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products)”, provides guidance to companies that give incentives to customers or resellers in the form of cash, equity, free gifts, coupons and other. The adoption of EIC 156 did not have any impact on the consolidated financial statements since the Company already adopted the US equivalent of EIC 156 which is EITF 01-9 “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer” issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Emerging Issues Task Force as at September 30, 2002. |
Future accounting changes
The CICA has issued the following new Handbook Sections:
|
|
a) |
Handbook Section 3855, “Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement”, effective for interim periods beginning on or after October 1, 2006. The section describes the standards for recognizing and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and non-financial derivatives. All financial assets, except for those classified as held-to-maturity, and derivative financial instruments must be measured at their fair value. All financial liabilities must be measured at their fair value if they are classified as held for trading purposes, if not, they are measured at their carrying value. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this new section on the consolidated financial statements. |
|
|
b) |
Handbook Section 1530, “Comprehensive Income”, and Section 3251, “Equity”, effective for interim periods beginning on or after October 1, 2006. Comprehensive income is the change in equity of an enterprise during a period arising from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. It includes items that would normally not be included in net income such as changes in the foreign currency translation adjustment relating to self-sustaining foreign operations and unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale financial instruments. This section describes how to report and disclose comprehensive income and its components. Section 3251, “Equity”, replaces Section 3250, “Surplus”, and establishes standards for the presentation of equity and changes in equity as a result of the new requirements of Section 1530, “Comprehensive Income”. Upon adoption of this section, the consolidated financial statements will include a statement of comprehensive income. |
|
|
c) |
Handbook Section 3865, “Hedges”, effective for interim periods beginning on or after October 1, 2006. This section describes when hedge accounting is appropriate. Hedge accounting ensures that all gains, losses, revenues and expenses from the derivative and the item it hedges are recorded in the statement of earnings in the same period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this section on the consolidated financial statements. |

Credit facilities |
The Company has available a five-year unsecured revolving credit facility for an amount of $1,000,000,000 maturing in December 2009. This agreement comprises a Canadian tranche with a limit of $850,000,000 and a U.S. tranche equivalent to $150,000,000. The interest rate charged is determined by the denomination of the amount drawn. As at June 30, 2006, an amount of $590,000,000 has been drawn upon this facility. Also, an amount of $28,426,639 has been committed against this facility to cover various letters of credit issued for clients and other parties. Financing fees of $1,000,000 were incurred during the third quarter of 2006 and were recorded in Finite-life intangibles and other long-term assets. In addition to the revolving credit facility, the Company has available demand lines of credit in the amounts of $27,000,000 and £2,000,000. As at June 30, 2006, no amount has been drawn upon these facilities.
The long-term debt agreements contain covenants which require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios. At June 30, 2006, the Company is in compliance with the covenants of its credit facilities and other long-term debt. On April 21, 2006, the Company obtained certain amendments to the definition and calculations of the ratios which take into account the impact of restructuring activities on the unsecured revolving credit facility. In addition, on June 9, 2006, the Company amended its agreement for the Senior US unsecured notes, as it relates to financial ratios.

Stock options |
Under the Company’s stock option plan, the Board of Directors may grant, at its discretion, options to purchase Class A subordinate shares to certain employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries. The exercise price is established by the Board of Directors and is equal to the closing price of the Class A subordinate shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on the day preceding the date of the grant. Options generally vest one year from the date of grant conditionally upon achievement of objectives and must be exercised within a ten-year period, except in the event of retirement, termination of employment or death.

The calculation of the dilutive effects excludes all anti-dilutive options and warrants that would not be exercised because their exercise price is higher than the average market value of a Class A subordinate share of the Company for each of the periods shown in the table. The number of excluded options was 24,375,869 and 18,584,096 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006, respectively and 22,900,078 and 22,617,676 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. The number of excluded warrants was nil for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006, respectively and 2,113,041 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. |

Restructuring costs related to specific items |
On March 29, 2006, the Company announced a restructuring plan impacting members located primarily in Montreal and Toronto, of which a significant portion is related to lower than expected BCE (a shareholder) work volumes. Approximately 850 of the total headcount reductions were effective as of June 30, 2006, and the remainder will be completed by the end of the calendar year. The acceleration and expansion of CGI’s Global Delivery Model will partially offset the headcount reductions by creating some 400 new jobs throughout its network. Under the terms of the contract agreement signed on December 16, 2005, BCE will share in severance costs with a maximum contribution capped at $10,000,000 for severance costs applicable to headcounts reductions exceeding 100 positions.
Total amount to be incurred as a result of this restructuring plan will approximate $90,000,000, of which $57,000,000 (after BCE contribution) will be for severance and $33,000,000 for consolidation and closure of facilities.
The following table shows details of restructuring costs related to specific items recorded in the statement of earnings during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006:

Sale of right |
On June 15, 2005, the Company entered into an alliance (“arrangement”) with a financial institution. Under this arrangement, the Company has sold to this financial institution a right to access the Company’s Canadian Credit Union (“Credit Union”) clients in order to offer them its business solutions in exchange for cash consideration of $13,500,000. A portion of this consideration in the amount of $2,500,000 has been recorded as deferred revenue and will be reversed to earnings upon certain conditions being met. Additional consideration, up to a maximum of $10,000,000, may be received by the Company based on the number of Credit Union clients transitioning to the financial institution’s business solutions. The Company will continue to support or provide services to the Credit Unions with its current solutions and methodologies until this transitioning is completed. As a result of the above transaction, contract costs and business solutions relating to the Credit Unions in the amount of $5,106,000 and $4,495,000, respectively, were impaired and included in amortization expense.

Guarantees |
Contingencies
From time to time, the Company is involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company has no reason to believe that the disposition of any such current matter could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or the ability to carry on any of its business activities.
Sale of assets and business divestitures
In connection with sale of assets and business divestitures, the Company may be required to pay counterparties for costs and losses incurred as the result of breaches in representations and warranties, intellectual property right infringement and litigation against counterparties. While many of the agreements specify a maximum potential exposure of approximately $108,500,000 in total, others do not specify a maximum amount or limited period. It is impossible to reasonably estimate the maximum amount that may have to be paid under such guarantees. The amounts are dependent upon the outcome of future contingent events, the nature and likelihood of which cannot be determined at this time. No amount has been accrued in the consolidated balance sheets relating to this type of indemnification as at June 30, 2006. The Company does not expect to incur any potential payment in connection with these guarantees which could have a materially adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements.
U.S. Government contracts
The Company is engaged to provide services under contracts with the U.S. Government. The contracts are subject to extensive legal and regulatory requirements and, from time to time, agencies of the U.S. Government investigate whether the Company’s operations are being conducted in accordance with these requirements. Generally, the Government has the right to change the scope of, or terminate, these projects at its convenience. The termination or a reduction in the scope of a major government project could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

|
11. |
Guarantees (continued) |
Other transactions
In the normal course of business, the Company may provide certain clients, principally governmental entities, with bid and performance bonds. In general, the Company would only be liable for the amount of the bid bonds if the Company refuses to perform the project once the bid is awarded. The Company would also be liable for the performance bonds in the event of default in the performance of its obligations. As at June 30, 2006, the Company provided for a total of $112,100,000 of these bonds. The Company believes it is in compliance with its performance obligations under all service contracts for which there is a performance or bid bond, and the ultimate liability, if any, incurred in connection with these guarantees would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
In addition, the Company provides a guarantee of $5,900,000 of the residual value of a leased property, accounted for as an operating lease, at the expiration of the lease term.

Under US GAAP, the Statement of Financial Accounting Board No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2005. The Company adopted the modified prospective application of the recommendation of the Statement effective October 1, 2005. The adoption of this Statement did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
