CAE Financial and Business Overview

Disclaimer Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This presentation includes forward-looking statements, which include, without limitation, statements relating to the acquisition of L3Harris Technologies' Military training business ("Acquisition") and the related private placements, available liquidities, the use of proceeds of the private placements, the expected timing of, and conditions precedent to, completion of the Acquisition and related private placements; the attractiveness of the Acquisition from a financial perspective and expected accretion in various financial metrics; expectations regarding anticipated cost savings and synergies; the strength, complementarity and compatibility of L3Harris Military Training's business with CAE's existing business and teams; other anticipated benefits of the Acquisition and their impact on the Corporation's future growth, results of operations, performance, business, prospects and opportunities, CAE's business outlook, objectives, development, plans, growth strategies and other strategic priorities, and CAE's leadership position in its markets; general economic outlook; prospects and trends of an industry; and other statements that are not historical facts. Although CAE believes that the expectations and assumptions on which such forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements since no assurance can be given that they will prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "plan", "intend", "continue", "estimate", "may", "will", "should", "strategy", "future" and similar expressions. All such forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the 'safe harbour' provisions of applicable Canadian securities laws and of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. By their nature, forward-looking statements require us to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties associated with our business which may cause actual results in future periods to differ materially from results indicated in forward-looking statements. The completion of the Acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, termination rights and other risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, regulatory approvals, and there can be no assurance that the Acquisition will be completed. There can also be no assurance that if the Acquisition is completed, the strategic and financial benefits expected to result from the Acquisition will be realized. These statements are not guarantees of future performance or events, and we caution you against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. While management considers these assumptions to be reasonable and appropriate based on information currently available, there is risk that they may not be accurate. You will find more information about risk factors in CAE's MD&A for the year ended March 31, 2020 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.govAny one or more of the risk factors may be exacerbated by the growing COVID-19 outbreak and may have a significantly more severe impact on CAE's business, results of operations and financial condition than in the absence of such outbreak. Accordingly, readers are cautioned that any of the disclosed risks could have a material adverse effect on our forward- looking statements. We caution that the disclosed list of risk factors is not exhaustive and other factors could also adversely affect our results. The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation describe our expectations as of March 21, 2021 and, accordingly, are subject to change after such date. Except as required by law, we disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The forward-looking information and statements contained in this presentation are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. Forward-looking statements are presented in this presentation for the purpose of assisting readers in understanding certain key elements of the Acquisition and the related private placements. Readers are cautioned that such information may not be appropriate for other purposes. 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 and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. These measures should not be confused with, or used as an alternative for, performance measures calculated according to GAAP. They should also not be used to compare with similar measures from 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, 2020 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. 3 CAE Inc.
