This news release contains certain forward-looking statements that
reflect the current views and/or expectations of the Corporation with
respect to its performance, business and future events. Such statements
are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, which
may cause actual results to be materially different from those expressed
or implied. The Corporation assumes no future obligation to update these
forward-looking statements.
The Corporation has included certain measures in this news release,
including EBITDA, the terms for which are not defined under Canadian
generally accepted accounting principles. The Corporation defines EBITDA
as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and
non-cash charges. The Corporation has included these measures, including
EBITDA, because it believes this information is used by certain investors
to assess financial performance and EBITDA is a useful supplemental
measure as it provides an indication of the results generated by the
Corporation's principal business activities prior to consideration of how
these activities are financed and how the results are taxed in various
jurisdictions. Although the Corporation believes these measures are used
by certain investors (and the Corporation has included them for this
reason), these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures used by other companies.

This contract is a major boost to the Corporation's industrial gas turbine business. With its roots stretching back over the past 50 years, Orenda Aerospace has produced over 4,400 gas turbine engines of its own design, as well as more than 1300 others under license, to power military fighter aircraft for the Canadian and other NATO air forces. A large number of these engines were converted for industrial applications, and continue today in a number of industrial applications ranging from oil and natural gas pipeline pumping to emergency backup power in nuclear power plants. Support and maintenance services continue to be supplied by Magellan for these and other industrial units today.
The Corporation has also been awarded a contract by The Boeing Company, Integrated Defense Systems, Long Beach, California, to build spare engine shrouds for the U.S. Air Force fleet of B-1Bs. Aeronca, Inc., a subsidiary of Magellan Aerospace USA, Inc., will produce the light weight titanium honeycomb engine shroud panels that protect the aft fuselage of the airplane from heat generated by the engines. The contract includes tooling refurbishment or replacement and production hardware and is estimated to generate revenue of
The B-1B weapon system utilizes three shrouds per engine for a total of twelve panels per aircraft. The contract will supply the Air Force with critically needed spares in light of the age of the fleet - the first B-1B entered service in
Financial Highlights:
The Corporation's performance in the third quarter of 2009 reflects the seasonal impact of plant shutdowns for summer vacations, and isolated softening of specific sub-sectors of the civil aerospace markets in the third quarter 2009 when compared to the third quarter of 2008. The further softening of the business jet sub-sector and the weakening of the US Dollar versus the Canadian Dollar have contributed to reduced reported revenues in the third quarter 2009 when compared to second quarter 2009. In spite of these headwinds, the Corporation's overall performance year-to-date in 2009 continued to improve over that of 2008.
Factors contributing positively to the 2009 third quarter performance included the continued stability of the civil airliner market sub-sector, in both single-aisle and twin-aisle models, and the steadiness of the defence market. Some timing issues impacted the revenues reported in the third quarter of 2009 from the sale of proprietary products in the defence and space sector, but the underlying demand remained solid.
The diversification of the Corporation's markets also protected sales and margins to some degree. Lower than expected revenues from the business jet sub-sector and the continued delays in ramping up production of the Airbus A380 and the Boeing 787 were in part offset by the strength of demand on the legacy airliner models of both major OEM's. Additionally, the Joint Strike Fighter F-35 program, which has recently received strong endorsement from both the new
The third quarter of 2009 also saw continued improvements in operating efficiency and capacity in the Corporation's facilities, improved capability through the phase-in of new technology and training, and the continued transfer of non-core work to local and emerging market suppliers.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In addition to the primary measures of earnings and earnings per share in accordance with GAAP, the Corporation includes certain measures in this news release, including EBITDA (earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain non-cash charges). The Corporation has provided these measures because it believes this information is used by certain investors to assess financial performance and EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure as it provides an indication of the results generated by the Corporation's principal business activities prior to consideration of how these activities are financed and how the results are taxed in the various jurisdictions. Each of the components of this measure are calculated in accordance with GAAP, but EBITDA is not a recognized measure under GAAP, and the Corporation's method of calculation may not be comparable with that of other companies. Accordingly, EBITDA should not be used as an alternative to net earnings as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash provided by or used in operations.

million in the third quarter of 2008. As previously discussed, a one-time
retroactive price adjustment totalling $10.4 million contributed to higher
gross profit and increased the EBITDA for the third quarter of 2008.

On
Future Changes in Accounting Policies
-------------------------------------
Sections 1582, "Business Combinations", 1601, "Consolidated Financial Statements", and 1602, "Non-controlling Interests".
In
Section 1582 will be converged with IFRS 3, "Business Combinations". Section 1602 will be converged with the requirements of IAS 27, "Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements", for non-controlling interests. Section 1601 carries forward the requirements of Section 1600, "Consolidated Financial Statements", other than those relating to non-controlling interests.
Section 1582 applies to acquisitions made from
Under Section 1602, any non-controlling interest will be recognized as a separate component of shareholders' equity. Net income will be calculated without deduction for the non-controlling interest. Rather, net income will be allocated between the controlling and non-controlling interests.
These new standards will become effective in 2011.
International Financial Reporting Standards
In
The Corporation commenced its IFRS conversion efforts during 2008 and will implement IFRS over a transitional period which is anticipated to be completed by 2011. The transition project is comprised of the following key elements:
- Identification of relevant differences between Canadian GAAP and IFRS
- Set up of IFRS accounting policies
- Impact analysis on systems, processes, controls, reporting, and
business policies and practices
- Implementation of solutions for the conversion to IFRS
- Awareness raising and training of personnel
The Corporation's IFRS implementation has progressed as planned and to date the Corporation has, with the assistance of outside IFRS consultants, held awareness and training sessions for key personnel and the board of directors; has completed its high level diagnostic which entails an assessment of the major difference between Canadian GAAP and IFRS; and is currently in the process of analyzing these differences. Significant differences will be identified and their impact assessed. The Corporation will provide updates as further progress is achieved and conclusions are reached.
Outlook
-------
The Corporation has a cautious outlook for the balance of 2009 and 2010 due to lingering unknowns related to new aircraft introductions in the civil airliner sub-sector, and political unknowns that could impact the transitions underway from legacy to new defence programs in
The Corporation's management anticipates that the business aircraft sector will reach its bottom in mid 2010 to 2011 and will begin a gradual recovery thereafter. The Corporation has only a modest exposure to this part of the aerospace market.
Defence spending is forecasted to be stable through 2011-2012 in both new aerospace equipment and in the aftermarket. The transition from legacy programs to new replacement programs is underway in the
To offset somewhat the potential slowing demand for current single aisle commercial aircraft, the Corporation has exposure to anticipated growth sectors of the global aerospace industry, in the Boeing 787, the Airbus A380 and the Joint Strike Fighter. The Corporation has captured opportunities on these new civil and defence programs, has continued to modernize its facilities and update its capabilities, and has taken measures to hopefully address contingencies that may arise during the economic uncertainty of 2009 to 2011. Notwithstanding these opportunities, much uncertainty exists regarding the increasing debt loads of leading nations as the current recession spending measures play out.
