Bombardier
Bombardier Inc., a diversified manufacturing and service company, is a world leading manufacturer of business jets, regional aircraft, rail transportation equipment. It is also a provider of financial services and asset management. The Corporation employs 79,000 people in 24 countries in the Americas, Europe and AsiaPacific

Objective
The goal of Bombardier is that the company and management team wish to downsize the company in order to have financing for other projects that they are currently researching. That’s why they sold the recreational division (snowmobiles).

Joseph-Armand Bombardier

History of Bombardier
1942 - Joseph-Armand Bombardier founded a company in Valcourt, in Québec's Eastern Townships Manufactured tracked vehicles capable of transporting passengers on snow-covered terrain. First commercial vehicle was the B-12, which was used to haul wood, carry mail and transport students in rural areas. 1959 - mass-production began of what today is considered the true forerunner of the Ski-Doo snowmobile.

January 23, 1969 - listing of Bombardier stock on the Montreal and Toronto stock exchanges and public offering of two million shares. 1972 - Creation of subsidiaries Bombardier Credit Ltd., in Canada, and Bombardier Credit Inc., in the United States 1973 - Energy crisis precipitated a decline in the snowmobile market, thus forcing Bombardier to look for another field of activities where it could redeploy its qualified workforce. 1986 - Bought the leading Canadian aircraft manufacturer, Canadair, which was being privatized by the Canadian Government.

1987, acquisition of the railcar designs of U.S. companies Budd and Pullman. 1988 - Launched the Sea-Doo personal watercraft. 1988 - acquisition of snowmobile manufacturing plants in Finland, in a joint venture with a Finnish partner. October 1989 - acquisition of Short Brothers, a Northern Ireland manufacturer of civil and military aircraft, aerostructures and defence systems.

December 1989 - acquisition of ANF-Industries, France's second largest manufacturer of railway equipment. 1991 - launched the 50-seat Canadair Regional Jet. March 1992 - acquisition of the assets and operations of Ontario-based de Havilland, manufacturer of the Dash 8 turboprop regional aircraft.

August, 2000 - Bombardier signs a sale and purchase agreement with DaimlerChrysler AG of Germany to acquire its subsidiary DaimlerChrysler Rail Systems GmbH, based in Berlin. December 13, 2002 - Robert E. Brown leaves Bombardier and Paul M. Tellier is appointed President and Chief Executive Officer, effective January 13, 2003. April 7, 2003, Bombardier wins its biggest ever transportation supply contract worth $7.9 billion for the London Underground in U.K December 2003 - as part of the recreational products segment, this business is sold to members of the Bombardier family

Bombardier has become the third largest civil aircraft manufacturer worldwide. Currently leading the business jet and regional aircraft markets worldwide as well as being the global leader in passenger railcar manufacturing.

New Product
Bombardier Aerospace launches Global Express XRS ultra long-range business jet Bombardier Global family continues to set the standard for speed, and comfort Bombardier Aerospace today introduced the new Bombardier Global Express, an improved version of the world’s finest business jet aircraft. The Bombardier Global Express XRS takes the outstanding performance of the Bombardier Global Express even further, offering greater levels of cabin comfort and technology to both passengers and crew, while connecting more cities faster than any other business jet.

Bombardier Global Express

New Product (cont)
“The Bombardier Global Express XRS, like the Bombardier Global Express, will continue to set the standard in the ultra long-range business aircraft market, combining the most versatile, stately and advanced business jet cabin with incomparable performance and technology,” said Peter Edwards, president, Bombardier Business Aircraft. “There is no compromise with this jet and it reflects, once again, Bombardier’s commitment to provide our customers with the best business jet aircraft in the world.”

New Product (cont)
Chief among the aircraft’s performance improvements are increased range at high speed, improved takeoff capabilities and a new, fast refuelling technology. A new zero flaps takeoff capability will allow Bombardier Global Express XRS operators to depart from “hot and high” airports at higher temperatures and with a greater fuel load, reaching more cities from more airports around the world. The Bombardier Global Express XRS also features a new, fast refuelling technology that significantly shortens the refuelling process. Made possible by software upgrades to the fuel computer along with some structural adjustments, Bombardier expects that refuelling the Bombardier Global Express XRS will save 15 minutes.

New Invention
Bombardier has produced an exciting answer to the Segway Human Transporter. Like the Segway, Bombardier's Embrio concept

Bombardier-Air Canada
Bombardier has managed to secure financing for Air Canada's order of 45 regional jets. The airline announced in December that it planned to spend $2.6 billion US to buy 90 regional jets from Bombardier and Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer.

American-Canadian Relations
Canada's aerospace industry, led by Bombardier, CAE, Pratt and Whitney Canada, and Bell Helicopter Textron, has mounted an intense lobby to push Ottawa for increased military spending and participation in joint weapons programs with the U.S. military to aid the industry. The companies scored a significant victory when the Canadian government quietly announced this year that it would ante up $150million (U.S.) to be part of the Pentagon's multinational Joint Strike Fighter program to develop and build 3,000 planes. Dubbed the "Jointly Spent Fortune" program by The Economist, history's largest arms contract is worth about $200-billion. Ottawa has set of Defense, Industry and Foreign Affairs up a committee of the departments to assist Canadian companies in winning JSF contracts.

American-Canadian Relations
Many Canadians are becoming concerned: Last month, members of the peace group End the Arms Race protested against a government-sponsored military aerospace trade show in Edmonton, warning that corporations are becoming dependent on government military spending. They also fear that the establishment of a powerful corporate defence lobby will undermine policy choices. Public opinion polls have shown that Canadians are opposed to a U.S. missile defence shield and are reluctant to join an expanded U.S.-led war on terrorism against Iraq. Our values will be undermined if Ottawa allows -- even encourages -- companies to profit from weapons and wars that citizens don't support.

American-Canadian Relations
Canada's aerospace industry is the fourth largest in the world because of the government's traditional support for civilian aircraft, notably Bombardier's regional jets. Ottawa must rein in the defense lobby and redirect the aerospace industry away from military production and back to the civilian market so the industry can make a positive contribution to Canada's economy and role in the world.

Effects of Subsidies and Financing

Definition
Subsidy:
Monetary assistance granted by a government to a person or group in support of an enterprise regarded as being in the public interest.

Financing:
The supplying of funds or capital.

Opening
Bombardier has severely felt the effects from the crash of the airline industry, on September 11, 2001 Now more than ever they must rely on subsidies to remain competitive in both their domestic and international markets.

Case Study Bombardier vs. Embarer
The governments of Canada and Brazil are locked in a battle with World Trade Organization. Each country is accusing the other of unfairly subsidizing its aerospace exports to undercut competition in the tough regional jet market. June 1996 - Canada requests establishment of WTO Panel to rule on legality of Proex. July 1998 - Canada requests second WTO Panel to examine Proex

Continued…
March 1999 - WTO Panel declares Proex subsidy for regional aircraft a prohibited export subsidy.

March 2000 - WTO Compliance Panel confirms Brazil has not complied with the WTO rulings over Proex

August 2000 - WTO arbitration panel rules Canada can apply $344 million per year in countermeasures against Brazil. Confirms Proex program has done significant damage to the Canadian aircraft industry

Proex
Brazilian investment company that provides illegal subsidies to the Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer through low interest rate loans.
**Proex was found to be an illegal subsidy and demanded its termination the low interest rate subsidies.

Canada’s answer to Proex: Technology Partnerships Canada
Mission:
Special operating agency of Industry Canada with a mandate to provide funding support for strategic research and development, and demonstration projects that will produce economic, social and environmental benefits to Canadians.

A job creation program which uses subsidies to promote domestic corporations and to lure transnational corporations to open plants in Canada OR A $300 million a year corporate welfare program which unfairly hands public funds over to profitable corporations

Aeorspace Sectors influence on Canadian Economy
Canadian aerospace sector employs about 62,000 people in Canada Source of $9.4-billion (Canadian) in exports from 400 companies involved in the sector When Embraer undercuts Bombardier to win an international deal, the effects are enormous Results in: Job loss Decreases in sales and exports Bombardier alone has invested $3.5 billion in research and development in Canada since 1986, the year it entered into the industry

Government Intervention
The federal government will give Canada’s export agency an extra $1.2 billion so it can loan international airlines money to buy regional aircraft from Bombardier. Export Development Canada (EDC) will administer the money, but the cash comes from Canadian taxpayers through the Canada Account. The money is intended to help the aircraft manufacturer bridge the current weakness in the aviation business.

Continued….
Subsidies take many forms: military spending government procurement research and development grants tax credits foreign investment performance requirements regional development programs public-private joint ventures export financing programs

Continued…
Without massive government support, Bombardier's aerospace division cannot thrive as an independent player in an industry dominated by state-backed international rivals. federal government also increased the financing envelope for Canada Account loans by $1.2 billion. In the last year, Bombardiers regional aircraft customers required $4.1 billion in financing, well over two-thirds of which came from private sector sources.

Continued…
Airlines forced to run leaner, meaner operations, Tough to do that with big bulky aircraft Because of huge costs associated with purchasing jets, Bombardier helps acquire customers by offering financing.

Challenges facing Bombardier:
Bombardier is up against competitors who benefit from huge military R&D financing.
Eg. United States Department of Defense invests $45 billion US in R&D, $6.5 billion of which goes directly to Boeing, Raytheon and United Technologies

Of the international competitors in the field, Canada is the only country in which military investment in R&D is of no real significance. In 2001, the whole Canadian industry shared 165 million of Canadian R&D dollars provided by the federal government

Continued…
89% of our production is exported,
The rising Canadian industry's margins. dollar will impact the

Outlook and Goals
Canadian aerospace policy should include a major sales financing assistance component significant because buyers are increasingly making manufacturers responsible for facilitating the financing of their aircraft purchases

Aircraft manufacturers must count on various financial vehicles to assist in the financing of their sales.
Bombardier has long been working in conjunction with Export Development Canada to do this. Canadian Government has a major role

...BOMBARDIER TRANSPORTATION AND THE ADTRANZ AQUISITION CASE ANALYSIS Prepared by: Samuel C. Anyanwu Date of Submission: February 17, 2015. Submitted to: Prof Dr. Kelly Thompson. Bombardier Inc. (BBD) had over the years built a well diversified and versatile business in order to reduce cyclical risk, ensure long term survival and redefine the company’s position on a global scale. The route taken to achieve this level of diversification was through strategic acquisition of key players in the industry that complimented BBD’s vast business ventures. BBD’s growth philosophy was to seek acquisitions that enabled the company to apply exiting competencies without focusing solely on financial gains but more on how acquired companies would complement and strengthen its existing businesses. BBD’s philosophy also centered around being patient to bring about seamless integration of acquired companies with the aim of eliminating waste and turning around underperforming assets through its application of effective and efficient management approaches. [ (BOMBARDIER & ADTRANZ AQUISITION CASE) ] BBDs kin approach to integration of acquired companies enabled greater combination potential as this approach brought about strong employee support because there was the belief that BBD would protect jobs and invest in new product lines.

...Bombardier TEG (A): Operational and Political Issues in Multinational Projects Price, technical proficiency, delivery dates, and domestic content/presence were the most important award criteria to win bids for passenger railcar manufacturing contracts in the US. For most bids around 1992, Morrison-Knudsen (M-K)’s offers were outweighing the technical edge Bombardier’s Transportation Equipment Group (TEG) had through fast delivery times and performing most of the contract locally (e.g. open more local plants or hire more local people than competitors). In addition, the company considerably underbid contracts by 7% on average. Remarkably, all those key deciding factors were based on promises without a record of proof. Therefore, M-K’s promises seemed to be out of touch when considering that the company lacked substantial experience in manufacturing rail equipment, and had not delivered a single working vehicle to any client so far at that time. M-K had experience in the refurbishment market for mass transit cars, but this is considered an entirely different business from car manufacturing, e.g. it did not involve design, and many integration issues were already solved (blueprints). Consequently, without the control of the overall design and the integration of various systems, while having components coming from all over the place (e.g. M-K was supplied and supported by low-cost overseas firms from Brazil, Japan or Portugal, even for design and engineering), M-K took a huge risk...

Bombardier - Financial Analysis

...Bombardier Financial Analysis Liquidity 1) Current Ratio 2) Working Capital Leverage 1) Debt/Equity Ratio 2) Financial Leverage Operational Efficiency 1) Inventory Turnover Ratio 2) Receivables Turnover Ratio 3) Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio Liquidity Bombardier has maintained a Current Ratio of close to 100% over the past 10 years with the highest being in F’05 (121%) and the lowest in F’08 (95%). This is typical for the industry in which Bombardier operates. Current Ratio has been increasing since F’08 as Bombardier has focused on improving its cash from operating activities. Historically, Bombardier has efficiently used its cash resources, taking into consideration working cap requirements, market volatility, seasonality and other financial commitments. Given that liquidity management has remained one of the financial priorities, we can expect Bombardier to maintain adequate level of cash flow going forward. When a ten year average of Current Ratio is compared, Bombardier was able to edge ahead of one of its biggest competitors while it fell behind the other (Boeing 88% & Airbus 114% vs Bombardier 104%). Leverage Bombardier’s Debt/Equity ratio has fluctuated in last decade with the lowest number in F’11 (1.18) and highest in F’12 (6.06). The significant deterioration is mainly due to large amount of issuance of long term debt in F’12 and reduced profitability year-over-year in both segments. Further deterioration is expected...

Bombardier Sustainable Strategies

...At the moment Bombardier is in an excellent position to take advantage of the growing demands for clean technology. Different organizations and businesses are starting to realize the significant effects that mass transportation systems have on this planet. With these systems having a major impact on air pollution reduction or sustainable efforts, Bombardier will need to take advantage of the opportunity to clean up their technologies in both the railway and aerospace sectors. As time goes on, countries are rapidly becoming more urbanized and the demand for infrastructure to move citizens more efficiently between suburban locations and urban centers is increasing. Different mechanisms have been established under the Kyoto Protocol such as the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and the Joint Implementation (JI) in attempt to gather investments from developed economies to support growth for developing markets (UNFCCC, 2013). These different policies have provided professionals with a long-term measurement tool for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, but they do not foster external investments into major transportation systems linked to Bombardier in certain regions (Duduta & Bishins, 2010). To overcome the lack of incentives provided by these different acts, Bombardier, by their own power, will need to invest more into their transportation systems in foreign continents such as Africa, South America, Asia, and other under-developed areas.
