1.Description of business
CGI Group Inc. (the “Company”), directly or through its subsidiaries, manages information technology (“IT”) services as well as business process services (“BPS”) to help clients effectively realize their strategies and create added value. The Company’s services include the management of IT and business functions (“outsourcing”), systems integration and consulting, as well as the sale of software solutions. 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 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 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 significant accounting policies”, of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2016. The accounting policies were consistently applied to all periods presented.
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, 2016.
The Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on February 1st, 2017.
3.Changes in accounting policies
FUTURE ACCOUNTING STANDARD CHANGES
The following standards have been issued but are not yet effective:
IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, to specify how and when to recognize revenue as well as requiring the provision of more informative and relevant disclosures. The standard supersedes IAS 18, “Revenue”, IAS 11, “Construction Contracts”, and other revenue related Interpretations. The standard will be effective on October 1, 2018 for the Company, with earlier application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments
In July 2014, the IASB amended IFRS 9, “Financial Instruments”, to bring together the classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting phases of the IASB's project to replace IAS 39, “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”. The standard supersedes all previous versions of IFRS 9 and will be effective on October 1, 2018 for the Company, with earlier application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 16 - Leases
In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, “Leases”, to set out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a lease contract. The standard supersedes IAS 17, "Leases", and other lease related Interpretations. The standard will be effective on October 1, 2019 for the Company with earlier application permitted only if IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” is also applied. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

The carrying value of Class A subordinate shares includes $5,687,000 ($10,087,000 as at December 31, 2015), which corresponds to a reduction in contributed surplus representing the value of accumulated compensation costs associated with the stock options exercised during the period.
2 
During the three months ended December 31, 2016, 659,640 PSUs (969,241 during the three months ended December 31, 2015) were exercised with a recorded value of $23,666,000 ($21,250,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2015) that was removed from contributed surplus. As at December 31, 2016, 468,668 Class A subordinate shares were held in trust under the PSU plan (1,192,308 as at December 31, 2015) (Note 5B).
3 
On January 27, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the renewal of the Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”) for the purchase of up to 21,425,992 Class A subordinate shares for cancellation on the open market through the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”). The Class A subordinate shares are available for purchase commencing February 11, 2016 until no later than February 3, 2017, or on such earlier date when the Company completes its purchases or elects to terminate the bid. On February 1, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the renewal of the NCIB for the purchase of up to 21,190,564 Class A subordinate shares over the next twelve months, subject to regulatory approval.
During the three months ended December 31, 2016, the Company repurchased 5,094,500 Class A subordinate shares under the current NCIB for cash consideration of $314,687,000 and the excess of the purchase price over the carrying value in the amount of $273,343,000 was charged to retained earnings. Of the repurchased Class A subordinate shares, 196,800 shares with a carrying value of $1,599,000 and a purchase value of $12,077,000 were held by the Company and were paid and cancelled subsequent to December 31, 2016.
During the three months ended December 31, 2015, the Company repurchased 192,500 Class A subordinate shares under the previous NCIB for cash consideration of $9,132,000 and the excess of the purchase price over the carrying value in the amount of $7,558,000 was charged to retained earnings. In addition, 200,000 of repurchased Class A subordinate shares with a carrying value of $1,631,000 and a purchase value of $9,466,000 were held by the Company, from previous period, and were paid and cancelled during the three months ended December 31, 2015.
4 
The trustee, in accordance with the terms of the PSU plan and a Trust Agreement, did not purchase Class A subordinate shares of the Company on the open market during the three months ended December 31, 2016 (441,722 Class A subordinate shares for $21,795,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2015). In addition, during the three months ended December 31, 2016, the trustee resold 64,000 Class A subordinate shares that were held in trust on the open market in accordance with the terms of the PSU plan (nil during the three months ended December 31, 2015). The excess of proceeds over the carrying value of the Class A subordinate shares, in the amount of $1,601,000, resulted in an increase of contributed surplus.

Stock options
Under the Company’s stock option plan, the Board of Directors may grant, at its discretion, stock options to purchase Class A subordinate shares to certain employees, officers and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries. The exercise price is established by the Board of Directors and is equal to the closing price of the Class A subordinate shares on the TSX on the day preceding the date of the grant. Stock options vest over four years from the date of grant conditionally upon achievement of objectives and must be exercised within a ten-year period, except in the event of retirement, termination of employment or death.

Performance share units
Under the PSU plan, the Board of Directors may grant PSUs to senior executives and other key employees (“participants”) which entitle them to receive one Class A subordinate share for each PSU. The vesting performance conditions are determined by the Board of Directors at the time of each grant. PSUs expire on the business day preceding December 31 of the third calendar year following the end of the fiscal year during which the PSU award was made, except in the event of retirement, termination of employment or death. Granted PSUs vest annually over a period of four years from the date of grant conditionally upon achievement of objectives.
Class A subordinate shares purchased in connection with the PSU plan are held in trust for the benefit of the participants. The trust, considered as a structured entity, is consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements with the cost of the purchased shares recorded as a reduction of capital stock (Note 5A).

9.Financial instruments
FAIR VALUE
All financial instruments are initially measured at their fair values. Subsequently, financial assets classified as loans and receivables and financial liabilities classified as other liabilities are measured at their amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Financial assets and liabilities classified as fair value through earnings (“FVTE”) and classified as available-for-sale are measured subsequently at their fair values.
The Company has made the following classifications:
FVTE
Cash and cash equivalents and derivative financial instruments (unless they qualify for hedge accounting). In addition, deferred compensation plan assets within long-term financial assets were designated by management as FVTE upon initial recognition as this reflected management's investment strategy.
Loans and receivables
Trade accounts receivable, cash included in funds held for clients and long-term receivables within long-term financial assets.
Available-for-sale
Long-term bonds included in funds held for clients and in long-term investments within long-term financial assets.
Other liabilities
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, accrued compensation, long-term debt and clients’ funds obligations.
FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY
Fair value measurements recognized in the balance sheet are categorized 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.
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 Senior U.S. and euro unsecured notes 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 flows;
-
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents is determined using observable quotes.
There were no changes in valuation techniques during the three months ended December 31, 2016.
