For additional information, including with respect to other assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements made in this presentation, refer to the applicable reportable segment in CAE's MD&A for the year ended March 31, 2021 and in our filings with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, all of which are available under our profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. Given the impact of the changing circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and the related response from CAE, governments, regulatory authorities, businesses and customers, there is inherently more uncertainty associated with CAE's assumptions. Accordingly, the assumptions outlined in this presentation and, consequently, the forward-looking statements based on such assumptions, may turn out to be inaccurate. Non-GAAP Measures Except as otherwise indicated, all financial information has been reported in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). This presentation includes non-GAAP and other financial measures. Non-GAAP measures are useful supplemental information but do not have a standardized meaning according to GAAP. These measures should not be confused with, or used as an alternative for, performance measures calculated according to GAAP. Furthermore, these non-GAAP measures should not be compared with similarly titled measures provided or used by other companies. Management believes that providing certain non-GAAP measures provides users with a better understanding of our results and trends and provides additional information on our financial and operating performance. For non-GAAP and other financial measures monitored by CAE, and a reconciliation of such measures to the most directly comparable measure under GAAP, please refer to Section 5 of CAE's MD&A for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 filed with the Canadian Securities Administrators available on our website (www.cae.com) and on SEDAR (www.sedar.com). Non-GAAP and other financial measure definitions and reconciliations to the most directly comparable measures under GAAP can also be found in the Appendix of this presentation. 4 CAE Inc.
