Revenues reached the same level as last year at %24;4 . 6 billion . Earnings before financing income, financing expense and income taxes (EBIT) totalled %24;262 million, compared to %24;296 million last fiscal year, while the EBIT margin reached 5 . 7% compared to last year s 6 . 5% . Net income amounted to %24;168 million, compared to %24;226 million for the same period last fiscal year . Free cash flow (cash flows from operating activities less net additions to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets) stood at %24;72 million for the third quarter, compared to a free cash flow usage of %24;226 million for the same period last fiscal year . The cash position remains strong at %24;3 billion, compared to %24;3 . 5 billion as at January 31, 2009 . The overall backlog stood at %24;47 . 4 billion, compared to %24;48 . 2 billion as at January 31, 2009 . "Despite early signs of a recovery, the economic environment remains difficult and continued to impact our activities and financial results, especially in Bombardier Aerospace", said Pierre Beaudoin, President and Chief Executive Officer, Bombardier Inc . "However, Bombardier Transportation continues to improve its revenues, profitability and order intake . ""Our backlog and balance sheet are strong . Both groups continue to look for ways to reduce overall costs in their operations and improve their working capital, while maintaining investments in new product development . We will be ready when the economy recovers", concluded Mr . Beaudoin . Bombardier AerospaceBombardier Aerospace s revenues amounted to %24;2 . 1 billion, compared to %24;2 . 3 billion last fiscal year . EBIT totalled %24;103 million, or 5% of revenues, compared to %24;176 million, or 7 . 7%, for the same period last fiscal year .

The backlog stood at %24;18 . 1 billion as at October 31, 2009, compared to %24;23 . 5 billion as at January 31, 2009 . Although the business aircraft market is still experiencing difficulties, there are some signs of stabilization . Bombardier Business Aircraft net orders for the third quarter ended October 31, 2009 returned to a positive position for the first time since the third quarter of last fiscal year . Bombardier Commercial Aircraft experienced a low level of order intake during the three-month period ended October 31, 2009 reflecting the significantly reduced demand for commercial aircraft, consistent with the current worldwide economic environment . However, subsequent to quarter end, AMR Eagle Holding Corporation, the parent company of American Eagle Airlines, Inc . , signed a firm order agreement for 22 CRJ700 regional jets, for a value of approximately %24;779 million . The transaction represents the conversion of 22 of the options held by the airline . Despite this recent order, projected CRJ aircraft sales remain insufficient to maintain the current production plan . Bombardier Aerospace thus announced on November 26 a further reduction of the CRJ aircraft production rates . Total deliveries of 61 aircraft compare to 80 for the same period last fiscal year with the Commercial Aircraft segment contributing 27 of these deliveries compared to 22 last fiscal year . Bombardier Aerospace continues to invest in products, such as the CRJ1000 NextGen regional jet, the Global Vision flight deck, the Learjet 85 and the CSeries aircraft .

EBIT reached %24;159 million, up from %24;120 million a year ago, while EBIT margin increased to 6 . 3% versus 5 . 3% . Free cash flow reached %24;32 million, compared to a usage of %24;243 million last fiscal year . The order backlog stood at %24;29 . 3 billion as at October 31, 2009, compared to %24;24 . 7 billion as at January 31, 2009, mainly due to a positive currency impact . Economic uncertainty continues to affect the rail industry with low funding availability for the private sector and an ongoing decline in freight traffic . As a result, Bombardier Transportation s freight locomotives and services segments are seeing a lower level of activity . On a positive note, Bombardier Transportation reported new orders worth %24;3 . 6 billion, compared to %24;2 . 8 billion last fiscal year, leading to a book-to-bill ratio of 1 . 4 . In September 2009, Bombardier Sifang Transportation won a %24;4 billion landmark contract to supply 80 ZEFIRO 380 very high speed trains capable of speeds of up to 380 km/h for the Chinese Ministry of Railways . Bombardier s share of the contract is worth %24;2 billion .
