Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(Unaudited)(Unless otherwise stated, all tabular amounts are in millions of Canadian dollars) The consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the board of directors on February 7, 2020. NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of operations                                                                
CAE Inc. and its subsidiaries (or the Company) design, manufacture and supply simulation equipment, provide training, and develop integrated  training  solutions  for  defence  and  security  markets,  commercial  airlines,  business  aircraft  operators,  helicopter  operators, aircraft manufacturers and for healthcare education and service providers. CAE’s flight simulators replicate aircraft performance in normal and abnormal operations as well as a comprehensive set of environmental conditions utilizing visual systems that contain a database of airports, other landing areas, flying environments, mission-specific environments, and motion and sound cues. The Company offers a range of flight training devices based on the same software used on its simulators. The Company also operates a global network of training centres with locations around the world. The Company’s operations are managed through three segments: (i)  Civil Aviation Training Solutions – Provides comprehensive training solutions for flight, cabin, maintenance and ground personnel in 
commercial, business and helicopter aviation, a range of flight simulation training devices, as well as ab initio pilot training and crew sourcing services;
(ii)  Defence and Security – Is a training systems integrator for defence forces across the air, land and naval domains, and for government 
organizations responsible for public safety;
(iii)  Healthcare – Designs and manufactures simulators, audiovisual and simulation centre management solutions, develops courseware 
and offers services for training of medical, nursing and allied healthcare students as well as medical practitioners worldwide.
 CAE  is  a  limited  liability  company  incorporated  and  domiciled  in  Canada. The  address  of  the  main  office  is  8585  Côte-de-Liesse,                                 Saint-Laurent, Québec, Canada, H4T 1G6. CAE shares are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange and on the New York Stock Exchange. Seasonality and cyclicality of the businessThe Company’s business operating segments are affected in varying degrees by market cyclicality and/or seasonality. As such, operating performance over a given interim period should not necessarily be considered indicative of full fiscal year performance. The Civil Aviation Training Solutions segment sells equipment directly to airlines and to the extent that the entire commercial airline industry is affected by cycles of expansion and contraction, the Company’s performance will also be affected. The segment activities are also affected by the seasonality of its industry – in times of peak travel (such as holidays), airline and business jet pilots are generally occupied flying aircraft rather than attending training sessions. The opposite also holds true – slower travel periods tend to be more active training periods for pilots. Therefore, the Company has historically experienced lower demand during the second quarter. Basis of preparationThe key accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those disclosed in Note 1 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2019, except for the changes in accounting policies described in Note 2. These policies have been consistently applied to all periods presented. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2019. The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Part I of the CPA Canada Handbook – Accounting, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting.
The functional and presentation currency of CAE Inc. is the Canadian dollar. Use of judgements, estimates and assumptionsThe preparation of consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In preparing these consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements of the year ended March 31, 2019, except for the changes presented in Note 2. 
CAE Third Quarter Report 2020 I 6 
Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
NOTE 2 – CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
New and amended standards adopted by the Company
IFRS 16 - LeasesIn January 2016, the IASB released IFRS 16 - Leases, which replaced IAS 17 - Leases and related interpretations. The new standard introduces a single lessee accounting model and eliminates the classification of leases as either operating or finance leases. It requires the lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for substantially all leases. Lessors continue to classify leases as operating leases or finance leases as IFRS 16 substantially carries forward the current lessor accounting requirements.
IFRS 16 was adopted effective April 1, 2019. The Company elected to use the modified retrospective approach. Under this approach, the comparative information was not restated and the cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 16 was recognized in equity at the date of initial application, on April 1, 2019. 
The Company has elected to apply the following transitional practical expedients:  
– Maintain previous assessment of whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at the date of initial application;
– Use of hindsight when evaluating the lease term if a contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease;
– Recognize short-term leases and leases of low-value assets as a lease expense on a straight-line basis, consistent with current IAS 17 accounting;
– Account for leases for which the remaining lease term ends within 12 months of the effective date as short-term leases;
– Adjust the right-of-use asset by the amount of the previously assessed IAS 37 onerous contract provision as an alternative to an impairment review;
– Exclude initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application;
– Measure the right-of-use asset as if IFRS 16 had been applied since the lease commencement date using the incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application.
Where the Company is a lessee, IFRS 16 resulted in on-balance sheet recognition of most of its leases that were previously considered operating leases under IAS 17 unless they met the short-term or low-value exemption. 
For the consolidated statement of financial position, this resulted in the recognition of new right-of-use assets of $226.8 million and new lease liabilities of $265.8 million, presented as part of the long-term debt, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate as at April 1, 2019 (weighted average rate applied was 5.4%). In addition, the Company had existing finance lease assets of $206.0 million under IAS 17 that were reclassified to right-of-use assets.
For the consolidated income statement, depreciation expense on the right-of-use assets and interest expense on the lease liabilities are incurred, replacing the operating lease expense previously recognized under IAS 17 accounting. For the consolidated statement of cash flows, the principal repayments of the lease liabilities are presented in financing activities, whereas previously operating lease payments under IAS 17 accounting were presented in operating activities.
The cumulative effect of the impacts of adopting IFRS 16 on the consolidated statement of financial position as at April 1, 2019 are presented in the table below:

7 I CAE Third Quarter Report 2020
Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
The difference between the amount of new lease liabilities recognized as at April 1, 2019 and the future aggregate minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases of the Company as at March 31, 2019, which amounted to $274.1 million, is mainly due to the discounting factors applied to the lease payments, the inclusion of optional renewal period reasonably certain to be exercised, and the exclusion of leases payments for short-term lease and low-value lease.  
The key changes to the Company’s accounting policies are summarized below:
LeasesAt inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. 
The Company as a lesseeThe Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. 
The  right-of-use  asset  is  subsequently  depreciated  from  the  commencement  date  to  the  earlier  of  the  end  of  the  useful  life  of  the                                right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term through a purchase option. If it is reasonably certain that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the leased asset is depreciated over its useful life. The depreciation periods, residual values (only applicable when it is reasonably certain that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term) and depreciation methods are as follows:
 MethodAmortization rate/period
Buildings and landStraight-line1 to 40 years
SimulatorsStraight-line (10% residual)Not exceeding 25 years
Machinery and equipmentDeclining balance/Straight-lineNot exceeding 7 years
In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, the exercise price under a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise and penalties for early termination of a lease if the Company is reasonably certain to terminate.  
The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method and is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee or the Company’s assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, renewal or termination option. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero. 
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assetsThe  Company  recognizes  the  payments  associated  with  short-term  leases  and  leases  of  low-value  assets  as  an  expense  on  a                              straight-line basis over the lease term.
Sale and leaseback transactionIn a sale and leaseback transaction the transfer of an asset is recognized as a sale when the customer has obtained control of the underlying asset which is aligned with the Company’s revenue recognition policy, otherwise the Company continues to recognize the transferred asset on the balance sheet and record a financial liability equal to the proceeds transferred. When the transfer of an asset satisfies the Company’s revenue recognition policy to be accounted for as revenue, a partial recognition of the profit from the sale is recorded immediately after the sale, which is equivalent to the proportion of the asset not retained by the Company through the lease. The proportion of the asset retained by the Company through the lease is recognized as a right-of-use asset and the lease liability is measured as the present value of future lease payments.
The Company as a lessorThe Company determines, at lease commencement, whether each lease is a finance or an operating lease. Leases in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred are classified as finance leases. All other leases are accounted for as operating leases.
CAE Third Quarter Report 2020 I 8 
Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
With regards to finance leases, the asset is derecognized at the commencement of the lease. The net present value of the minimum lease payments and any discounted unguaranteed residual value are recognized as non-current receivables. Finance income is recognized over the term of the lease based on the effective interest method. Revenue from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the corresponding lease.
When the Company subleases one of its leases it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. 
Use of judgments, estimates and provisionsLeases, the Company as a lesseeThe application of IFRS 16 requires the Company to make judgements and estimates that affect the value of the right-of-use assets and the lease liabilities which mainly relate to the implicit and incremental rates of borrowing and to whether purchase, renewal or termination options are reasonably certain of being exercised.
IFRIC 23 - Uncertainty over income tax treatmentsIn June 2017, the IASB released IFRIC 23 - Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments, which addresses how to determine the taxable profit (loss),  tax  bases,  unused  tax  losses,  unused  tax  credits  and  tax  rates,  when  there  is  uncertainty  over  income  tax  treatments  under                 IAS 12 - Income Taxes. It specifically considers whether tax treatments should be considered independently or collectively and assumptions for taxation authorities’ examinations in regards to taxable profit (loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits or tax rates.
IFRIC 23 was adopted effective April 1, 2019 and resulted in no significant adjustment.
Amendment to IAS 19 - Employee benefitsIn February 2018, the IASB released an amendment to IAS 19 - Employee Benefits, which clarifies how to account for plan amendments, curtailments and settlements on defined benefits plans. The amendment requires the use of updated actuarial assumptions to determine current service cost and net interest for the period after a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement. 
This amendment to IAS 19 was adopted April 1, 2019 and will apply to plan amendments, curtailments or settlements occurring after April 1, 2019.

NOTE 11 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair value of a financial instrument is determined by reference to the available market information at the reporting date. When no active market exists for a financial instrument, the Company determines the fair value of that instrument based on valuation methodologies as discussed below. In determining assumptions required under a valuation model, the Company primarily uses external, readily observable market data inputs. Assumptions or inputs that are not based on observable market data incorporate the Company’s best estimates of market participant assumptions. Counterparty credit risk and the Company’s own credit risk are taken into account in estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities. The following assumptions and valuation methodologies have been used to measure the fair value of financial instruments:(i)  The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying 
values due to their short-term maturities;
(ii)  The fair value of derivative instruments, which include forward contracts, swap agreements and embedded derivatives accounted 
for separately and is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows using an appropriate interest rate yield curve and forward foreign exchange rate. Assumptions are based on market conditions prevailing at each reporting date. The fair value of derivative instruments reflect the estimated amounts that the Company would receive or pay to settle the contracts at the reporting date;
(iii)  The fair value of the equity investments, which does not have a readily available market value, is estimated using a discounted cash 
flow model, which includes some assumptions that are not based on observable market prices or rates;
(iv)  The fair value of non-current receivables is estimated based on discounted cash flows using current interest rates for instruments 
with similar risks and remaining maturities;
(v)  The fair value of long-term debts, royalties obligations and other non-current liabilities are estimated based on discounted cash flows 
using current interest rates for instruments with similar risks and remaining maturities. Upon adoption of IFRS 16 on April 1, 2019, fair value disclosures are no longer required for lease liabilities;
(vi)  The fair value of the contingent considerations arising on business combinations are based on the estimated amount and timing of 
projected cash flows, the probability of the achievement of the criteria on which the contingency is based and the risk-adjusted discount rate used to present value the probability-weighted cash flows.
Fair value hierarchyThe fair value hierarchy reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements and has the following levels: Level 1:   Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2:   Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices 
in markets that are not active) or indirectly (i.e. quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities);
 Level 3:   Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Each type of fair value is categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
