Caution Regarding Forward-looking Information

This presentation, and any discussion during or following this presentation, includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Forward-looking statements contained in this presentation may be based on forecasts of future results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable. These statements may involve, but are not limited to, comments relating to guidance, strategies, expectations, planned operations or future actions. Forward-looking statements are identified using terms and phrases such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “could”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “may”, “plan”, “predict”, “project”, “will”, “would”, and similar terms and phrases, including references to assumptions. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this presentation may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Forward-looking statements include, among others, statements pertaining to:

  • Air Canada’s outlook, goals, expectations, projected results of operations, financing, workforce, capacity and other plans, including factors and assumptions underlying Air Canada’s projections, in particular regarding the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic;

  • Air Canada’s expectations with respect to net cash burn, capital expenditures and liquidity, including its ability to meet its ongoing capital, operating, and other obligations, and anticipated needs for, and sources of, funds;

  • the anticipated completion of this Offering;

  • the use of proceeds from this Offering; and

  • Air Canada’s assessment of market risks.

Forward-looking statements, by their nature, are based on assumptions, including those described in this presentation and are subject to important risks and uncertainties. Notably, Air Canada’s expectations with respect to net cash burn are subject to a number of assumptions, including current assumptions regarding its ability to implement its cost reduction programs discussed in this presentation, rates of ticket refunds, and other changes impacting working capital, including the level of advance ticket sales. Forward-looking statements cannot be relied upon due to, among other things, changing external events and general uncertainties of the business of Air Canada. Actual results may differ materially from results indicated in forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed below.

Air Canada, along with the rest of the global airline industry, is facing a severe and abrupt drop in traffic and a corresponding decline in revenue and cash flows as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the travel restrictions imposed in many countries around the world, and particularly in Canada. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic began to be felt in traffic and sales figures commencing in early March 2020. These impacts include drastic declines in earnings and cash flow from operations. There is very limited visibility on travel demand given changing government restrictions in place around the world and the severity of the restrictions in Canada; these restrictions and concerns about travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as passenger concerns and expectations about the need for certain precautions, such as physical distancing, are severely inhibiting demand. The COVID-19 pandemic is also having significant economic impacts, including on business and consumer spending, which may in turn significantly impact demand for travel. Air Canada cannot predict the full impact or the timing for when conditions may improve. Air Canada is actively monitoring the situation and will respond as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic evolves, which will depend on a number of factors including the course of the virus, availability of rapid, effective testing, vaccinations and effective treatments for the virus, government actions, and passenger reaction, as well as timing of a recovery in international and business travel which are important segments of Air Canada’s markets, none of which can be predicted with any degree of certainty.

Other factors which may cause results to differ materially from results indicated in forward-looking statements include Air Canada’s ability to successfully achieve or sustain positive net profitability, economic and geopolitical conditions, Air Canada’s ability to pay its indebtedness and maintain or increase liquidity, industry and market conditions and the demand environment, competition, the timing and conditions of the return to service of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft into Air Canada’s fleet (including the introduction of those on order and the management of Air Canada’s fleet and operations until their return to service or introduction), energy prices, Air Canada’s dependence on technology, Air Canada’s ability to successfully implement appropriate strategic and other important initiatives (including Air Canada’s ability to reduce operating costs), the successful completion of the Offering, cybersecurity risks, war, terrorist acts, other epidemic diseases, Air Canada’s dependence on key suppliers, casualty losses, changes in laws, regulatory developments or proceedings, Air Canada’s ability to successfully operate its new loyalty program, climate change and environmental factors (including weather systems and other natural phenomena and factors arising from man-made sources), interruptions of service, Air Canada’s dependence on regional and other carriers, Air Canada’s ability to preserve and grow its brand, employee and labour relations and costs, Air Canada’s dependence on Star Alliance and joint ventures, limitations due to restrictive covenants, pending and future litigation and actions by third parties, currency exchange, pension plans, Air Canada’s ability to attract and retain required personnel, insurance issues and costs, as well as the factors identified in Air Canada's public disclosure file available at www.sedar.com and, in particular, those identified in section 14 “Risk Factors” of the 2020 Q3 MD&A and section 20 “Risk Factors” of the 2019 Annual MD&A. Furthermore, the proposed acquisition by Air Canada of Transat A.T. Inc. is subject to court approval, satisfaction of customary listing conditions of the TSX, regulatory approvals and certain customary and other conditions, and there are no assurances that the acquisition will be completed as described in this presentation, or at all. The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation represent Air Canada’s expectations as of the date hereof and are subject to change after such date. However, Air Canada disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether because of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required under applicable securities regulations.

(1) Net cash burn is a non-GAAP financial measure used by Air Canada as a measure of cash used to maintain operations, support capital expenditures, and settle normal debt repayments, all before the net impact of new financing proceeds. Net cash burn is defined as net cash flows from operating, financing, and investing activities, and excludes proceeds from new financings and any lump sum debt maturities where the Corporation has refinanced or replaced the amount. Net cash burn also excludes movements between cash and short and long-term investments.
