Overview of the CAE Class Action LawsuitThe CAE class action lawsuit, captioned Gamache v. CAE Inc., No. 24-cv-05360 (S.D.N.Y.), seeks to represent investors who acquired publicly traded securities of CAE Inc. (NYSE: CAE) between February 11, 2022, and May 21, 2024, inclusive (the "Class Period"). The CAE class action lawsuit alleges that CAE, a technology company providing simulation training and critical operations support solutions, and certain of its top executives violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by making false and misleading statements regarding the company's financial condition and business operations. Allegations in the CAE Class Action LawsuitThe CAE class action lawsuit claims that during the Class Period, the defendants failed to disclose material information about the company's operations, including:
Unfavorable Contract Profit AdjustmentsAccording to the lawsuit, on August 10, 2022, CAE announced an "unfavorable contract profit adjustment" of $28.9 million for two Defense programs in the United States. This adjustment led to an operating loss of $21.2 million for the Defense segment, a significant decline from the previous year. As a result, CAE's stock price dropped by approximately 16% on that day. Subsequently, on November 14, 2023, CAE disclosed its plans to retire legacy contracts within the Defense segment due to inflationary pressures, causing a 4% decrease in the company's stock price. Risky Contracts and ImpairmentsOn February 14, 2024, CAE revealed that it was accelerating the retirement of risky contracts, specifically those entered into before the COVID-19 pandemic, which had a disproportionate negative impact on the Defense segment's profitability. This news resulted in a 10% drop in CAE's stock price. Finally, on May 21, 2024, CAE announced a re-baselining of its Defense business, impairments, and the appointment of a new Chief Operating Officer (COO). The company recorded a non-cash impairment of $568.0 million in Defense goodwill, $90.3 million in unfavorable Defense contract profit adjustments due to accelerated risk recognition on legacy contracts, and a $35.7 million impairment of related technology and other non-financial assets principally related to the legacy contracts. Consequently, CAE's stock price fell by approximately 5% on May 22, 2024. Lead Plaintiff Deadline and ProcessThe lead plaintiff deadline for the CAE class action lawsuit is September 16, 2024.
