In its outlook released today, the company says it expects to turn free-cash-flow positive next year and generate more than US$500 million in 2025.
Bombardier set a revenue target of US$7.5 billion for 2025.
The company noted that its outlook assumes the continued successful rollout of COVID-19 vaccines, a gradual lifting of international border restrictions and a continued economic recovery.
Bombardier to focus on after sales service until business jet recovery takes hold
Bombardier recently completed a restructuring of the company that included the sale of its commercial aircraft and railway divisions.
The company says it intends to use the proceeds from the sale of Bombardier Transportation to pay down debt with a priority on near-term maturities.
