CAE Inc., a global leader in training and simulation solutions for civil aviation and defense sectors, has reported its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2026. The company, headquartered in Montreal, Canada, is known for its cutting-edge technology and comprehensive training services, which are crucial for aviation professionals and defense forces worldwide.
In the latest earnings report, CAE Inc. showcased a solid performance with a revenue increase to $1,098.6 million, up from $1,072.5 million in the previous year. The company also reported an earnings per share (EPS) of $0.18, a notable rise from $0.15 last year, reflecting a robust operational performance. The appointment of Matthew Bromberg as the new President and CEO, succeeding Marc Parent, marks a significant leadership transition for the company.
Key financial highlights include a 23% increase in operating income, reaching $133.8 million, and a 10% rise in adjusted segment operating income to $147.8 million. The defense segment showed remarkable growth with an 83% increase in operating income, while the civil aviation segment maintained steady growth. The adjusted backlog grew by 15% to $19.5 billion, indicating strong future revenue potential. However, the adjusted order intake saw a slight decline.
Looking ahead, CAE’s management remains optimistic about the company’s growth prospects, driven by strong demand in both civil aviation and defense sectors. The company anticipates continued growth in its civil segment, supported by regulatory requirements for pilot training and fleet expansion. In defense, CAE is well-positioned to benefit from increased defense budgets across NATO countries. The company expects to generate strong free cash flow and maintain a solid financial position, with plans to reduce its net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio by the fiscal year-end.
