Q3-F2026 results

"CGI's results in the quarter continue to reflect our positioning to meet client demand, as well as our operational excellence--both of which contributed to revenue growth, EPS accretion, and strong cash generation, " said Tim Hurlebaus, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Strong government sector awards contributed to a 108% book-to-bill over the past year, up 7% year-over-year. Combined with a robust backlog of contracted engagements and a rising opportunity pipeline, we remain positioned to continue the profitable growth momentum we realized in the quarter."

"Across every industry, clients are increasingly focused on how to securely operate with AI embedded at enterprise scale," continued Mr. Hurlebaus. "Importantly, clients recognize that long-term business and mission value now depends as much on modern data, cybersecurity and organizational readiness as it does on AI innovation. This shift continues to create new opportunities for CGI to partner with clients to drive efficiency, modernization and transformation--all while preserving clients' flexibility to adapt as technologies evolve."
