1. | Description of business |
CGI Inc. (the Company), directly or through its subsidiaries, provides managed information technology (IT) and business process services, business and strategic IT consulting and systems integration services, as well as software solutions to help clients effectively realize their strategies and create added value. The Company was incorporated under Part IA of the Companies Act (Québec), predecessor to the Business Corporations Act (Québec) which came into force on February 14, 2011 and its Class A subordinate voting shares are publicly traded. The executive and registered office of the Company is situated at 1350 René-Lévesque Blvd. West, Montréal, Québec, Canada, H3G 1T4.
2. | Basis of preparation |
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). In addition, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 3, Summary of material accounting policies, of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2023 which were consistently applied to all periods presented, except for the new accounting standard amendments adopted on October 1, 2023, as described below in Note 3, Accounting policies.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended September 30, 2023.
The Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on January 30, 2024.
3. | Accounting policies |
ADOPTION OF ACCOUNTING STANDARD
The following standard amendments have been adopted by the Company on October 1, 2023:
Definition of Accounting Estimates – Amendments to IAS 8
In February 2021, the IASB amended IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting estimates and Errors to introduce a definition of accounting estimates and to help entities distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. This distinction is important because changes in accounting policies must be applied retrospectively while changes in accounting estimates are accounted for prospectively.
Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction – Amendments to IAS 12
In May 2021, the IASB amended IAS 12 Income Taxes, to narrow the scope of the initial recognition exemption so that it does not apply to transactions that give rise to equal and offsetting temporary differences.
The implementation of these standard amendments resulted in no impact on the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

FUTURE ACCOUNTING STANDARD CHANGES
The following standard amendments have been issued and will be effective as of October 1, 2024 for the Company, with earlier application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these standard amendments on its consolidated financial statements.
Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and Information about long-term debt with covenants – Amendments to IAS 1
In January 2020, the IASB amended IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements, clarifying that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current is based on existing rights at the end of the reporting period, independent of whether the Company will exercise its right to defer settlement of a liability. Subsequently, in October 2022, the IASB introduced additional amendments to IAS 1, emphasizing that covenants for long-term debt, regardless whether the covenants were compliant after the reporting date, should not affect debt classification; instead, companies are required to disclose information about these covenants in the notes accompanying their financial statements.
Supplier finance arrangements - Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7
In May 2023, the IASB amended IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures to introduce new disclosure requirements to enhance the transparency on supplier finance arrangements and their impact on the Company’s liabilities, cash flows and liquidity exposure. The new disclosure requirements will include information such as terms and conditions, the carrying amount of liabilities, the range of payment due dates, non-cash changes and liquidity risk information around supplier finance arrangements.

11. | Financial instruments |
FAIR VALUE
All financial instruments are initially measured at their fair value and are subsequently classified either at amortized cost, at fair value through earnings or at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The Company has made the following classifications:
Amortized cost
Trade accounts receivable, long-term receivables within long-term financial assets, short-term investments included in funds held for clients, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, accrued compensation and employee-related liabilities, long-term debt and clients’ funds obligations.
Fair value through earnings (FVTE)
Cash, cash equivalents, cash included in funds held for clients, derivative financial instruments and deferred compensation plan assets within long-term financial assets.
Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
Short-term investments included in current financial assets, long-term bonds included in funds held for clients and long-term investments within long-term financial assets.
FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY
Fair value measurements recognized in the consolidated balance sheet are classified in accordance with the following levels:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, but that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

11. | Financial instruments (continued) |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Valuation techniques used to value financial instruments are as follows:
- | The fair value of the 2014 U.S. Senior Notes, the 2021 U.S. Senior Notes, the 2021 CAD Senior Notes, the unsecured committed revolving credit facility, the unsecured committed term loan credit facility and the other long-term debt is estimated by discounting expected cash flows at rates currently offered to the Company for debts of the same remaining maturities and conditions; |
- | The fair value of long-term bonds included in funds held for clients and in long-term investments is determined by discounting the future cash flows using observable inputs, such as interest rate yield curves or credit spreads, or according to similar transactions on an arm’s-length basis; |
- | The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the end of the reporting period; |
- | The fair value of cross-currency swaps and interest rate swaps is determined based on market data (primarily yield curves, exchange rates and interest rates) to calculate the present value of all estimated cash flows; |
- | The fair value of cash, cash equivalents, cash included in funds held for clients and short-term investments included in current financial assets is determined using observable quotes; and |
- | The fair value of deferred compensation plan assets within long-term financial assets is based on observable price quotations and net assets values at the reporting date. |
There were no changes in valuation techniques during the three months ended December 31, 2023.
The following table presents the financial liabilities included in the long-term debt measured at amortized cost categorized using the fair value hierarchy:

For the remaining financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost, the carrying values approximate the fair values of the financial instruments given their short term maturity.
In December 2023, the Company repaid in full the unsecured committed term loan credit facility of U.S. $500,000,000, for a total amount of $670,350,000. The Company also settled the related cross currency swaps with a notional amount of $670,039,000 for a net gain of $18,087,000, for which $311,000 related to the cash flow hedge was recorded in net finance costs and $17,776,000 related to the net investment hedge was recognized in other comprehensive income and will be transferred to earnings when the net investment is disposed of.
