Insights

Financial Analyst

CGI delivered mixed Q3 results with strong revenue growth offset by margin pressure and higher costs from restructuring efforts.

CGI's Q3 fiscal 2025 results show a company executing well on revenue growth while navigating profitability challenges. Revenue increased 11.4% year-over-year to $4.09 billion, with 7.0% growth in constant currency. This double-digit growth demonstrates CGI's continued ability to win business despite challenging market conditions.

The bookings of $4.15 billion resulted in a book-to-bill ratio of 101.4%, indicating continued demand for CGI's services. More impressively, the trailing twelve-month book-to-bill stands at 106.7%, showing sustained sales momentum. The company's backlog grew to $30.58 billion, representing 2.0x annual revenue, providing excellent visibility into future revenue streams.

However, profitability metrics reveal some pressure points. Earnings before income taxes decreased 7.1% year-over-year, with margin contracting 270 basis points to 13.5%. Net earnings fell 7.2% to $408.6 million, with margin declining 200 basis points to 10.0%. Diluted EPS decreased 4.7% to $1.82.

The primary factor behind this profit decline was $83.6 million in restructuring and acquisition-related costs. When adjusting for these costs, CGI's performance looks considerably stronger, with adjusted EBIT up 10.5% to $666.1 million and adjusted EPS growing 9.9% to $2.10. However, even on an adjusted basis, margins experienced slight compression.

CGI's balance sheet has taken on more leverage, with net debt increasing to $3.12 billion from $1.85 billion last year, pushing the net debt-to-capitalization ratio to 23.4% from 17.2%. This higher leverage relates to the issuance of $1.67 billion in senior unsecured notes, likely for acquisitions and growth initiatives.

Cash generation remains solid with $486.6 million in operating cash flow, representing 11.9% of revenue. The company continues its balanced capital allocation, returning $286.2 million to shareholders through share repurchases and $33.6 million in dividends while investing $105.1 million back into the business.

Management's commentary on AI-related wins suggests CGI is successfully positioning itself in this high-growth area, which could be a significant driver for future growth. The ongoing restructuring program, expected to cost approximately $100 million over the remainder of 2025, aims to improve profitability once market conditions stabilize.

Non-GAAP and other key performance measures

Non-GAAP financial measures and ratios used in this press release: Constant currency revenue growth, adjusted earnings before interest and taxes, adjusted earnings before interest and taxes margin, adjusted net earnings, adjusted net earnings margin, adjusted diluted EPS, net debt, net debt to capitalization ratio, and return on invested capital (ROIC). CGI reports its financial results in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. However, management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors regarding the company's financial condition and results of operations as they provide additional measures of its performance. These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers and should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Key performance measures used in this press release: cash provided by operating activities as a percentage of revenue, bookings, book-to-bill ratio, backlog, days sales outstanding (DSO), earnings before income taxes margin, and net earnings margin.
