"We delivered a good performance overall in the second quarter, with double-digit top- and bottom-line growth, driven mainly by strong momentum in Civil and a higher contribution from Defense compared to last year. We also further bolstered our financial position on the path to meeting our short-term leverage target," said Marc Parent, CAE's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We made excellent progress in the quarter to secure CAE's future with nearly $1.2 billion in total adjusted order intake, for a record $11.8 billion adjusted backlog. Orders in Civil included 15 full flight simulators, long-term training agreements, and contracts for our next-gen crew management and aircraft operations solutions. In Defense, we continued to build our backlog with orders exceeding revenue in the quarter for simulation-based training solutions and support services. Following the end of the quarter, we announced a definitive agreement to sell Healthcare for an enterprise value of $311 million, a decision which better positions CAE to efficiently allocate capital and resources to secure growth opportunities in our large core simulation and training markets. We are proud of CAE Healthcare's significant contribution to patient safety and expect this to continue. Healthcare will be well positioned to support future growth under its excellent leadership and new ownership, focused on evolving simulation to drive patient safety and quality outcomes. As we look to the period ahead, we now expect Civil growth this fiscal year in the mid- to high-teens percentage range of adjusted segment operating income growth. The higher expected growth is based on our strong performance across all regions year to date, including Asia which had been lagging in the global air travel recovery. We also have good demand visibility given the regulated nature of aviation training. We expect Civil performance to be weighted more to the fourth quarter, based on planned simulator deliveries and training seasonality. In Defense, we will continue to transform our business by replenishing our backlog with more profitable programs and by retiring legacy contracts, which have been most affected by inflationary pressures. U.S. budget appropriation uncertainty is causing delays to our expected ramp up of new programs in backlog and to awards expected from our pipeline. As such, we currently expect Defense second-half adjusted segment operating income margins to remain in the mid-single-digit percentage range. The anticipated positive inflection in Defense performance is expected to occur during the next fiscal year, but will ultimately depend on the duration and magnitude of delays to new programs in the current environment. We are firmly focused on retiring legacy contracts as soon as possible and to mitigating the cost pressures associated with them. We remain very pleased with the accretive margin profile on our newly awarded work, which continues to underlie our conviction in our low double-digit margin target at steady state. We continue to be highly encouraged by the secular tailwinds in all segments and the growth we expect by harnessing our global market and technology leadership, and the power of One CAE."
