Desjardins rates Bombardier 'buy'

Bombardier Inc. (BBD.B-TSX) was rated "buy" in new coverage by Desjardins Securities analyst Benoît Poirier, who said the wheels are in motion for an improved outlook.

The 12-month share price target for the aerospace and transportation company was set at $4.80. The shares closed yesterday at $4.27, up 13 cents.

Bombardier shares are undervalued based on the price-earnings ratio, operating profit, the discounted cash flow and the valuation of the various units, Mr. Poirier said.

"We believe the C Series [a $2.1-billion U.S. program to build larger aircraft] must go ahead with a strong financial partner in order for the company to sustain its competitive advantage," Mr. Poirier said.

However, the shares have "above average risk" as a result of the potential introduction of new aircraft models, consolidation in the airline industry, the outlook for the regional jet market and increased competition in the aerospace industry, he said.

Bombardier Wins $178 Million US Order to Supply 140 Low-Floor Coaches in Switzerland

BERLIN, GERMANY--(CCNMatthews - Jan. 30, 2007) - Bombardier Transportation announced today that it has signed a contract with Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) to supply 140 low-floor passenger coaches. The order is valued at about $178 million US (138 million euros). The contract includes an option for an additional 48 vehicles, raising the potential order volume to a total of about $234 million US (181 million euros). Deliveries of the coaches are scheduled to begin in July 2008 and end in July 2012.

SBB intends to use the new air-conditioned low-floor coaches to replace the previous intermediate cars in its existing fleet of regional trains.

Bombardier's sites in Zurich and Villeneuve, Switzerland are responsible for developing the modern passenger vehicles. Assembly, commissioning and delivery of the vehicles will be carried out at the Villeneuve plant. The carbodies will be manufactured in Dunakeszi, Hungary, and the bogies will be sourced from Siegen, Germany.

"Our customers have high expectations towards us and, accordingly, we have high expectations towards our partners," said Paul Blumenthal, Head of Passenger Transportation SBB. "Bombardier's offer is good. I'm particularly delighted that the Western part of Switzerland will benefit from this order."

"We are delighted to have developed the best solution for SBB and to have been able to provide a customized, modern product," added Alfred Ruckstuhl, Chief Country Representative, Bombardier Transportation Switzerland. "We've been developing and manufacturing low-floor vehicles for passenger transport in the standard and one-metre gauge market for more than 25 years now, and we're proud that we have been given the opportunity to supply the new low-floor passenger coaches for SBB."

This new order has a considerable impact on the future workload of the Villeneuve facilities. It will create jobs and necessitate specific project investments in production equipment such as assembly stations and test tracks.

Bombardier Transportation has its global headquarters in Berlin, Germany with a presence in over 60 countries. It has an installed base of approximately 97,000 vehicles worldwide. The Group offers the broadest product portfolio and is recognized as the leader in the global rail sector.

Bombardier Selected by Deutsche Bahn to Supply New TALENT Trains

08:31 EST Friday, February 02, 2007

BERLIN, GERMANY--(CCNMatthews - Feb. 2, 2007) - Bombardier Transportation has been selected by Deutsche Bahn AG (DB) as the favourite supplier for the Electric Multiple Unit Platform framework agreement following a Europe-wide invitation to tender. The planned agreement is based on 321 trains at an estimated total of 1.2 billion euros (1.6 billion US dollars), making this one of the largest framework agreements in the history of DB AG.

Bombardier Transportation participated in the tender with the new generation of TALENT trains. Once deployed, the new TALENT 2 fleet will join Bombardier double-deck trains and TRAXX locomotives (DB Class 146) as the backbone of DB's regional transport service in Germany. The entire vehicle fleet will be developed and manufactured at Bombardier sites in Germany.

Deutsche Bahn announced its tender decision today. Contract signing is expected to take place in the near future. The new TALENT trains are scheduled to be deployed on regional lines throughout Germany starting in 2009.

Andre Navarri, President of Bombardier Transportation, said: "With the TALENT 2, we are paving the way for future regional and suburban transport not only in Germany, but across Europe. The new train incorporates leading-edge design concepts that offer unparalleled flexibility and modularity. That translates into real competitive advantage for operators like DB that face a European market characterized by growth and liberalization."

"We are pleased that our concept for the new generation of electric regional trains meets the high requirements of DB AG," said Klaus Baur, Head of Bombardier Transportation Germany. "It is geared towards meeting the different expectations of regional transport customers with regard to comfort, safety, modern design and short travel times in the densely populated areas and regions of Germany. This long-term framework agreement is of utmost importance for securing jobs in our German sites."

Stephane Rambaud-Measson, President, Mainline and Metros, Bombardier Transportation, added: "We see DB's decision as special recognition of the added value the new generation of TALENT trains brings to their operations. What we are providing here is a modern train concept - rooted in modularity and flexibility - that can adapt to increasingly diverse needs of rail service operators. For our customers, this means a wide range of potential applications and enhanced ability to meet growing demand from passengers."

TALENT 2 multiple units can be configured variably to create two-car trains or trains with as many as six cars. Propulsion power options can also be selected, depending on the number of driven axles. Additionally, the vehicles can be adjusted to operate on different voltage systems prevalent in the European rail network (15 kV AC, 25 kV AC or 3 kV DC). Access heights of 598 or 800 mm can accommodate different platform levels. Once placed in service, the trains can be continuously re-configured to fit changing needs.

Flexibility is also an important feature for TALENT 2 internal fittings. Individual components such as extra toilets or doors can be added at the operator's convenience. Number and arrangement of seats can also be changed along with the number and size of multi-purpose areas. With a high level of acceleration and up to two swing-plug doors on each side of the car, the TALENT 2 offers the ideal solution for rapid regional and suburban transport. In addition, the new trains meet safety requirements of tomorrow, being fully compliant with the future European crash norms.

TALENT 2 is advanced proven design of Bombardier's popular TALENT product family, which has more than 450 trains in service in Germany, Norway, Austria and Canada. Like its predecessor, TALENT 2 trains will offer state-of-the-art public address and emergency call systems, transparent passenger compartments, and features to accommodate the needs of disabled passengers.

Bombardier Transportation has its global headquarters in Berlin, Germany with a presence in over 60 countries. It has an installed base of approximately 97,000 vehicles worldwide. The Group offers the broadest product portfolio and is recognized as the leader in the global rail sector.

Bombardier Aerospace Launches 100-Seat CRJ1000 Regional Jet

08:45 EST Monday, February 19, 2007

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(CCNMatthews - Feb. 19, 2007) - Bombardier announced today the launch of its CRJ1000 regional jet, the next major step in the evolution of the CRJ Series aircraft family, the world's most successful family of regional aircraft.

Previously designated the CRJ900X jet, the CRJ1000 regional airliner is designed specifically to meet the needs of growing regional airlines for jets of up to 100 seats, with a focus on extremely low operating costs and improvements to cabin comfort.

"We anticipated the need for larger regional aircraft when we introduced the CRJ700 regional jet in 1997 and the CRJ900 regional jet in 2000. These aircraft are now the backbones of many airline fleets worldwide," said Pierre Beaudoin, President and Chief Operating Officer, Bombardier Aerospace. "Today, with the CRJ1000 aircraft, Bombardier continues to build on its ongoing commitment to product innovation. The CRJ1000 regional jet combines the proven platform, reliability and flexible cabin configurations of its predecessors with its closest competitor having up to 15 per cent higher trip cash operating costs."

The CRJ1000 aircraft program is launched with 38 firm orders, 15 of which are CRJ900 conversions, and 23 conditional orders and options. The following three customers have placed these orders.

Brit Air of Morlaix, France, a wholly owned subsidiary of Air France, has placed a firm order for eight CRJ1000 aircraft, and has taken options on eight additional CRJ1000 aircraft. Based on CRJ1000 list price, the value of Brit Air's eight firm ordered aircraft is approximately $371 million US which could rise to $768 million US if the airline exercises its eight options.

With the launch of the CRJ1000 aircraft, My Way Airlines of Italy is converting, as announced in September 2006, 15 of its 19 CRJ900 regional jet orders to CRJ1000 regional jets. The original contract value for the 19 CRJ900 aircraft, based on CRJ900 aircraft list price, was approximately $702 million US. This value will increase to approximately $857 million US for four CRJ900 and 15 CRJ1000 aircraft, based on CRJ900 and CRJ1000 aircraft list prices.

An undisclosed customer has placed a firm order for 15 of the aircraft, with a conditional order for an additional 15. Based on CRJ1000 list price, the contract value for this 15 aircraft firm order is approximately $704 million US, which could increase to $1.5 billion US if the airline's 15 conditional orders are executed.

The new CRJ1000 regional jet is scheduled to enter service in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2009. First flight is scheduled for the summer of 2008. With a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of 91,800 pounds (41,632 kilograms), the CRJ1000 aircraft will offer a maximum range of 1,691 nautical miles (3,139 kilometres) with 100 passengers, under certain operating conditions. Compared to older generation aircraft of similar passenger capacity currently in operation, the CRJ1000 will also respond to today's environmental needs by providing substantially lower fuel consumption and achieving up to 30 per cent reduced carbon dioxide engine emissions.
