MONTREAL, Feb. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bombardier Inc. (TSX: BBD.B) today announced strong fourth quarter and full-year 2025 financial results, exceeding targets and marking the company’s fifth consecutive year of sustained growth. The company also released its 2026 guidance⁽⁷⁾, highlighting its priorities and signaling a strong year ahead.

“Bombardier’s 2025 results validate the unwavering dedication of our team, allowing us to deliver on our commitments for the fifth consecutive year. We fulfilled the strategic path we set in 2021 and have completed our turnaround plan with poise, discipline and consistent execution. Our customer-centric mindset powered strong performance across the business – driving meaningful progress in product development, the expansion of our services portfolio, strengthening our Defense offering, and advancing our deleveraging plan,” said Éric Martel, President and Chief Executive Officer, Bombardier. “I am incredibly proud of the entire Bombardier team – their commitment, focus and passion across every part of the organization have been instrumental in strengthening our foundation for both immediate and long-term success. We have transformed the business, reinforced our competitive position, and established a clear and disciplined track record for growth – and the future looks bright.”

Revenues Surpass Targets, Driven by Higher Deliveries and a Strong Services Performance

Bombardier recorded revenues of $9.55 billion for 2025, exceeding targets with a 10% increase year-over-year, driven by a solid delivery mix, and record-high Services and Defense revenues. The company’s Services business continued its upward growth trajectory with $2.3 billion in revenues, a 13% increase year-over-year. Bombardier continued to ramp-up its production with 157 aircraft deliveries in 2025, an increase of 11 units versus 2024.

Solid Order Activity Supports Growing Backlog

Backlog for 2025 increased by $3.1 billion, reaching $17.5 billion as at December 31, 2025, an uptick of 22% year-over-year. The company also reported a full-year unit book-to-bill of 1.4, reflecting steady and strong demand across its portfolio of aircraft.

Profitability Gains Bolster Deleveraging Progress

Bombardier upheld its profitable growth trajectory in 2025. Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ for full-year 2025 was $1,559 million, representing 15% year-over-year growth, driven by strong incremental revenue conversion in Services, improved Defense performance, and lower R&D expenses, partly offset by supplier‑disruption costs. Adjusted EBIT came in at $1,095 million, a 20% improvement compared with the $915 million recorded in 2024. Reported EBIT increased 26% year‑over‑year, reaching $1,108 million for the full year.   

Adjusted net income rose significantly in 2025, reaching $805 million, a 47% year-over-year increase when compared with 2024, while reported net income increased to $975 million, up 164% year-over-year. Full-year 2025 adjusted EPS came in at $7.72, compared with $5.16 in 2024, while diluted EPS rose to $9.41 from $3.40 in 2024.

Free cash flow (FCF) generation for full-year 2025 was $1,072 million, up $840 million versus 2024. The increase reflects higher customer advances associated with new orders and aircraft deliveries, partially offset by inventory investments, and other working capital requirements. Reported cash flow from operating activities were $1,225 million, up from $405 million compared to 2024. Net additions to PP&E and intangible assets totaled $153 million for full-year 2025, compared with $173 million in 2024.

Bombardier continued to make strong progress in debt repayment, reducing its debt by over $400 million in 2025. In December 2025, the Corporation also announced a partial repayment of $500 million of Senior Notes due 2028, which will be paid using cash from its balance sheet. The redemption date is February 15th, 2026. The adjusted net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio improved from 2.9x in 2024 to 1.9x at year-end, outperforming its target of 2.0x to 2.5x. The company aims to continue improving this metric towards approximately 1.5x over time.

2026 Guidance

“Our 2026 guidance reflects both the sustained momentum we have built over the past five years and the confidence we have in our execution going forward. Our ability to operationalize and deliver on our ambition will not waiver as we continue to focus on growth, profitability and sustainable cash flow generation, all while delivering a customer experience that sets a new benchmark for excellence in our industry,” added Martel.

Guidance and Results
	2025 Full-Year Results	2026 Guidance
Aircraft deliveries (in units)	157	>157
Revenues	$9.55 billion	>$10.0 billion
Adjusted EBITDA	$1,559 million	>$1,625 million
Adjusted EBIT	$1,095 million	n/a
EBIT	$1,108 million	n/a
Free cash flow	$1,072 million	$600 million -$1,000 million
Cash flows from operating activities	$1,225 million	n/a
Net additions to PP&E and intangible assets	$153 million	n/a

Aircraft deliveries in 2026 are expected to be greater than 157 aircraft. Revenues are expected to be greater than $10.0 billion, an increase of more than $0.4 billion versus 2025 as a result of higher aircraft deliveries, improved pricing, and continued growth in our Services business. Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ is expected to be greater than $1,625 million in 2026. The growth from 2025 is driven by margin conversion on increased revenues and a partial recovery of the supply chain disruption, partially offset by some incremental strategic investments and higher R&D expense. Free cash flow⁽¹⁾ in 2026 is expected to range between $600 million and $1,000 million, reflecting normal variability in key cash‑flow items. Net additions to PP&E and intangible assets⁽³⁾ are expected to be approximately $300 million.

MONTREAL, Jan. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — We have taken note of the post from the President of the United States to social media and are in contact with the Canadian government. Bombardier is an international company that employs more than 3,000 people in the U.S. across 9 major facilities, and creates thousands of U.S. jobs through 2,800 suppliers. Our aircraft, facilities and technicians are fully certified to FAA standards and renowned around the world. We are actively investing in expanding our U.S. operations, including a recent announcement in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Thousands of private and civilian jets built in Canada fly in the U.S. every day. We hope this is quickly resolved to avoid a significant impact to air traffic and the flying public.

• Bombardier will celebrate the announcement of a new 126,000-square-foot manufacturing centre in Dorval today

MONTRÉAL, Jan. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bombardier is announcing today a new 126,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art manufacturing centre in Dorval, which marks a significant milestone in its growth strategy. Located near the Challenger manufacturing centre and the Laurent Beaudoin Completion Centre, this new facility will further expand Bombardier’s industrial footprint and strengthen its production capabilities. Bombardier will host an event at 1 p.m. to celebrate the announcement, in the presence of industry and government representatives, as well as Bombardier employees.

The project represents an investment of approximately $100 million and is part of the company’s long-term strategy to boost productivity as it responds to growing demand for its business aircraft. This new facility, set to open before the end of 2027⁽¹⁾, is expected to create skilled job opportunities.

“This major investment demonstrates our commitment to support Bombardier’s growth and build the infrastructure we need to maximize our productivity. As we expand our manufacturing capacity, we’re positioning ourselves to keep up with global demand and solidify our position at the top of the business aviation industry,” said David Murray, Executive Vice President, Manufacturing, IT and Bombardier Operational Excellence System. “We also want to acknowledge the effectiveness of Investissement Québec’s programs for supporting business growth. The ESSOR program, which will finance part of our expansion through a repayable loan, supports Bombardier’s global growth objectives while creating quality jobs in the province of Quebec.”

To support this strategic initiative, Quebec’s Minister of Economy, Innovation and Energy and Minister responsible for the Montérégie region, Christine Fréchette, will be in attendance to announce a $35 million repayable, non-forgivable loan under Investissement Québec’s ESSOR program, which is managed by the government. The program was created to help promote Quebec’s competitive manufacturing sector and economic vitality.

“By supporting the expansion of Bombardier, a world‑class prime contractor, our government is generating significant economic benefits for the entire Quebec supply chain and for the aerospace cluster. This investment will also lead to the creation of hundreds of highly skilled, well‑paid jobs, while strengthening Quebec’s expertise. Thanks to its know‑how and its capacity for innovation, Bombardier is helping to consolidate Quebec’s global position in this strategic sector, and I am very proud to support this homegrown company,” said Christine Fréchette, Minister of Economy, Innovation and Energy and Minister responsible for the Montérégie region.

The announcement is the latest in a series of major economic contributions by Bombardier to Quebec and Canada. The latest PwC study commissioned by Bombardier found that Bombardier contributed a total of $7.4 billion (direct, indirect, and induced) to Canada’s GDP in 2024 and sustained nearly 50,000 jobs across the country. In Quebec alone, Bombardier creates nearly 10,000 direct jobs and is a direct source for over 31% of aerospace employment, ranking it as one of the province’s largest manufacturing employers.⁽¹⁾
