We Are a Differentiated Leader in Many Facets of the Nuclear

Lifecycle

The integration of SNC-Lavalin and Atkins nuclear businesses has created a global leader positioned to capitalize on significant

investments unfolding over the next decades with a focus on deepening penetration in core Canada, UK and US markets.

We offer end-to-end services extending across the full life-cycle of a nuclear asset, from design and delivery through its

operating life, with 37% of revenue(1) stemming from final decommissioning, waste management and environmental clean-up.

Product development and technology deployment is in our DNA. Committed to true innovation, we leverage our substantial

portfolio of hundreds of patents to develop new value-added solutions for our customers.

We achieve stable financial performance, robust margins and strong cash flow conversion, supported by long-term

contracts with large utilities and government entities.

Resilient Business Model

As Evidenced in Financial Profile

Revenues

Segment EBIT(3)

Margin

(1) Excludes options for five additional reactors

(2) Q1 2019 EBIT margin is lower mainly due to higher than forecasted costs on an LSTK project in Canada nearing completion

(3) EBIT margin on a gross revenue basis; non-IFRS measure, additional details can be found in SNC-Lavalin’s MD&A

(4) OCF defined as segment EBIT plus segment depreciation, less lease interest payment, + / - change in non-cash working capital, + / - net change in provisions related to forecasted losses on

certain contracts, + / - net adjustments related to equity method accounting for joint ventures

(5) Conversion defined as OCF divided by segment EBIT

Consistently Achieving

High Margins

Specialized workforce and high complexity of services,

technologies translate to margins higher than typical

E&C business

Targeting Strong OCF Conversion

Achieved over 100% OCF conversion(4)(5) in last two

years – investing in growth going forward while

maintaining a high conversion rate
