• Net cash used for operating activities of $158.7 million, mainly due to operating cash outflows needed to complete the remaining LSTK Projects

2022 Outlook

• Given robust backlog and strong performance year-to-date in Engineering Services, management is raising its SNCL Services organic revenue growth⁽¹⁾⁽⁵⁾ outlook for full year 2022 vs 2021 to between 5% and 7% (previously between 4% and 6%)
• Q4 2021 included a $93 million favorable outcome from an arbitration decision that is not expected to repeat in Q4 2022
• Tightening the range on SNCL Services Segment Adjusted EBIT to segment revenue ratio outlook for full year 2022 to between 8.5% and 9.0% (previously between 8% and 10%)
• Updating 2022 net cash from operating activities outlook to approximately negative $300 million (previously between negative $50 million and negative $150 million), primarily driven by the need to fund higher costs to complete the LSTK projects prior to receiving potential claim recoveries
• Reaffirming all other Company's financial outlook metrics for full year 2022

MONTREAL, Nov. 4, 2022 /CNW Telbec/ - SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. (TSX: SNC), a fully integrated professional services and project management company with offices around the world, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

"I am pleased with our third quarter results which demonstrate our ability to execute on our stated strategy. Our SNCL Services business produced its sixth-consecutive quarter of positive year-over-year revenue growth, while our Engineering Services segment achieved a second consecutive quarter of record high backlog, driven by continued growth in the United States. Recent performance highlights our ability to capture market share in our core geographies, which continue to demonstrate resilient growth, a key pillar of our Pivoting to Growth strategy," said Ian L. Edwards, President and CEO of SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. "We were also successful in further decreasing our LSTK backlog in the quarter, and as we push towards completion, we remain confident with our previously disclosed financial risks estimates. Our third quarter results highlight the long-term runway for SNC-Lavalin, mainly driven by our unique end-to-end capabilities to support the public sector's focus on sustainable infrastructure and long-term energy solutions across the globe, as we strive to engineer a better future for our planet and its people."

Third Quarter Financial Results

Professional Services & Project Management are collectively referred to as "PS&PM" to distinguish them from "Capital" activities. PS&PM groups together five of the Company's segments, namely Engineering Services, Nuclear, Linxon, Operation & Maintenance ("O&M"), and Lump-Sum Turnkey ("LSTK") Projects, while Capital is its own reportable segment and separate from PS&PM.

The SNCL Services line of business (comprised of the Engineering Services, Nuclear, O&M and Linxon segments) delivered strong organic revenue growth this quarter. Governments have been investing for growth in sustainable infrastructure and Nuclear power as a strong foundation for a lower carbon grid. These focus areas, which are in line with the Company's purpose of engineering a better future for our planet and its people, represent a significant long-term opportunity for SNC-Lavalin, which is driven by its leading position in the marketplace and its deep customer relationships. Looking forward, SNC-Lavalin is well positioned to capitalize on these growth tailwinds and management continues to see strong opportunities across each of the core markets in which the Company operates — Canada, United Kingdom and the United States.

• Q3 2022 revenue reached $1.6 billion, up 8.2% compared to Q3 2021. SNCL Services had organic revenue growth⁽¹⁾⁽⁵⁾ of 12.6% in Q3 2022 compared to Q3 2021.
• Primarily driven by an organic revenue growth⁽¹⁾⁽⁵⁾ of 18.3% in Engineering Services, and 12.2% in O&M.
• Q3 2022 Segment Adjusted EBIT was $152.6 million, representing a 9.3% margin.

• Engineering Services Segment Adjusted EBITDA to segment net revenue ratio⁽¹⁾⁽⁶⁾ of 14.5%.
• Nuclear Segment Adjusted EBIT of $36.6 million representing a 16.7% margin.
• O&M Segment Adjusted EBIT of $15.8 million representing a 12.7% margin.

The Company continues to execute its LSTK projects exit strategy, progressing well on the winding down of its last remaining projects. Progress on all three infrastructure projects was strong in the quarter, and the two remaining Ontario projects remain on track to be largely physically complete by end of the year.

• The LSTK Projects segment backlog decreased by 19.9% during the quarter. Backlog totaled $663.9 million as at September 30, 2022, representing a 42.7% decrease compared to September 30, 2021.
• Q3 2022 Segment Adjusted EBIT was negative $43.9 million, as the LSTK projects were affected by supply chain disruptions, high inflation, Ontario safety inspectors' strike and labour shortages.
• Year-to-date Segment Adjusted EBIT totaled negative $111.1 million and included:
• $77 million of losses related with the previously disclosed $300 million potential financial risks to complete the LSTK projects ($20 million in Q1 2022, $26 million in Q2 2022 and $31 million in Q3 2022). Management remains confident that the cumulative potential financial risks to complete the LSTK projects should be contained within the $300 million* envelope.
• $34 million of losses mainly related to segment overhead costs needed to support these projects.
• The Company is actively pursuing COVID-19 and other claims associated with the increased costs experienced on the projects. While discussions with the clients remain ongoing, and may take some time to settle, once the claims are resolved the related cash received will be incrementally positive to the Company's net cash from operating activities.

* Announced on March 3, 2022.

All figures in millions of dollars

^A For the nine-month period ended September 30

The Q3 2022 Capital Segment Adjusted EBIT increase was mainly due the receipt of a $13.5 million dividend from Highway 407 ETR (none were received in Q3 2021), partially offset by the decreased contribution from InPower BC G.P. (the John Hart Generating Station), since its disposal to SNC-Lavalin Infrastructure Partners LP in February 2022.

Operating Cash Flow and Financial Position

• Net cash used for operating activities amounted to $158.7 million in Q3 2022, compared to a net cash used for operating activities of $65.0 million in Q3 2021. The negative operating cash flows in Q3 2022 were mainly due to operating cash outflows needed to complete the remaining LSTK Projects, partially offset by operating cash inflows from SNCL Services and Capital.
• Net cash generated from operating activities in SNCL Services⁽¹⁾⁽⁸⁾ of $60.2 million in Q3 2022.
• Cash and cash equivalents of $482.6 million as at September 30, 2022.
• Recourse debt of $1.6 billion and limited recourse debt of $0.4 billion as at September 30, 2022.
• Net limited recourse and recourse debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio⁽¹⁾⁽⁴⁾ of 3.3 as at September 30, 2022.

⁽¹⁾ Non-IFRS financial measures and ratios, supplementary financial measures and non-financial information do not have a standardized definition within International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and other issuers may define these measures differently and, accordingly, these may not be comparable to similar measures used by other issuers. Refer to the sections "Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Ratios, Supplementary Financial Measures and Non-Financial Information" and "Reconciliations and Calculations" of this press release.

⁽²⁾ Adjusted diluted EPS is a non-IFRS ratio based on adjusted net income (loss) attributable to SNC-Lavalin shareholders from continuing operations, itself a non-IFRS financial measure.

⁽³⁾ Booking-to-revenue ratio is a non-IFRS ratio based on contract bookings.

⁽⁴⁾ Net limited recourse and recourse debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio is a non-IFRS ratio based on net limited recourse and recourse debt at the end of a given period and Adjusted EBITDA of the corresponding trailing twelve-month period, both of which are non-IFRS financial measures.

⁽⁵⁾ Organic revenue growth (contraction) is a non-IFRS ratio comparing organic revenue (which excludes foreign exchange and acquisition and divestiture impacts), itself a non-IFRS financial measure, between two periods.

⁽⁶⁾ Segment Adjusted EBITDA to segment net revenue for the Engineering Services segment is a non-IFRS ratio based on Segment Adjusted EBITDA and segment net revenue, both of which are non-IFRS financial measures.

⁽⁷⁾ Segment Adjusted EBITDA to segment net revenue for the Linxon segment is a non-IFRS ratio based on Segment Adjusted EBITDA and segment net revenue, both of which are non-IFRS financial measures.

⁽⁸⁾ Net cash generated from (used for) operating activities on a line of business/segment basis is a supplementary financial measure and is identical in composition to net cash generated from (used for) operating activities as reported in the financial statements, except that it is provided on a line of business/segment basis as opposed to on a consolidated basis.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Ratios, Supplementary Financial Measures and Non-Financial Information

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with IFRS. However, the following non‑IFRS financial measures and ratios, supplementary financial measures and non-financial information are used by the Company in this press release: Organic revenue growth (contraction), EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to SNC-Lavalin shareholders, Adjusted diluted EPS, Booking-to-revenue ratio, Segment Adjusted EBITDA to segment net revenue ratio, Segment net revenue, Net limited recourse and recourse debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio, Net limited recourse and recourse debt and Net cash generated from (used for) operating activities on a line of business/segment basis. Additional details for these non-IFRS financial measures and ratios, supplementary financial measures and non-financial information can be found below and in Sections 6.4 and 9 of SNC-Lavalin's Management's Discussion & Analysis ("MD&A") for the third quarter of 2022 (which sections are incorporated by reference into this press release), filed with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada, available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the Company's website at www.snclavalin.com under the "Investors" section. Non-IFRS financial measures and ratios, supplementary financial measures and non-financial information do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Management believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, these non-IFRS financial measures and ratios, and supplementary financial measures and non-financial information provide additional insight into the Company's operating performance and financial position and certain investors may use this information to evaluate the Company's performance from period to period. However, these non-IFRS financial measures and ratios, and supplementary financial measures and non-financial information have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Furthermore, certain non-IFRS financial measures, certain additional IFRS measures and ratios, and certain supplementary financial measures and other non-financial information are presented separately for PS&PM, by excluding components related to Capital, as the Company believes that such measures are useful as these PS&PM activities are usually analyzed separately by the Company. Reconciliations and calculations of non-IFRS measures to the most comparable IFRS measures are set forth below in the section "Reconciliations and Calculations" of this press release.
