1. Description of business
CGI Inc. (the Company), directly or through its subsidiaries, provides managed information technology (IT) and business process services, business and strategic IT consulting and systems integration services, as well as software solutions to help clients effectively realize their strategies and create added value. 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 Class A subordinate voting 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 (IAS) 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 material accounting policies, of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2023 which were consistently applied to all periods presented, except for the new accounting standard amendments adopted on October 1, 2023, as described below in Note 3, Accounting policies.
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, 2023.
The Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on April 30, 2024.
3. Accounting policies
ADOPTION OF ACCOUNTING STANDARD
The following standard amendments have been adopted by the Company on October 1, 2023:
Definition of Accounting Estimates - Amendments to IAS 8
In February 2021, the IASB amended IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting estimates and Errors to introduce a definition of accounting estimates and to help entities distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. This distinction is important because changes in accounting policies must be applied retrospectively while changes in accounting estimates are accounted for prospectively.
Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction - Amendments to IAS 12
In May 2021, the IASB amended IAS 12 Income Taxes, to narrow the scope of the initial recognition exemption so that it does not apply to transactions that give rise to equal and offsetting temporary differences.
The implementation of these standard amendments resulted in no impact on the Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
ADOPTION OF ACCOUNTING STANDARD (CONTINUED)
International Tax Reform - Pillar Two Model Rules - Amendments to IAS 12
On May 23, 2023, the IASB amended IAS 12 Income Taxes, to address the Pillar Two model rules for domestic implementation of a 15% global minimum tax. The standard amendments introduced a temporary recognition exception in relation to accounting and disclosure for deferred taxes arising from the implementation of the international tax reform, which was applied as of that date.
For the reporting period ended March 31, 2024, the Company is subject to additional disclosure requirements on current tax expense related to Pillar Two income taxes, as well as qualitative and quantitative information about the exposure to Pillar Two income taxes. The Company has performed an assessment of its potential exposure to Pillar Two income taxes based on the most recent country-by-country reporting and financial statements for its constituent entities.
The Pillar Two Model Rules - Amendments to IAS 12 have no significant impact on the Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
FUTURE ACCOUNTING STANDARD CHANGES
The following standard amendments have been issued and will be effective as of October 1, 2024 for the Company, with earlier application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these standard amendments on its consolidated financial statements.
Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and Information about long-term debt with covenants - Amendments to IAS 1
In January 2020, the IASB amended IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements, clarifying that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current is based on existing rights at the end of the reporting period, independent of whether the Company will exercise its right to defer settlement of a liability. Subsequently, in October 2022, the IASB introduced additional amendments to IAS 1, emphasizing that covenants for long-term debt, regardless whether the covenants were compliant after the reporting date, should not affect debt classification; instead, companies are required to disclose information about these covenants in the notes accompanying their financial statements.
Supplier Finance Arrangements - Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7
In May 2023, the IASB amended IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures to introduce new disclosure requirements to enhance the transparency on supplier finance arrangements and their impact on the Company's liabilities, cash flows and liquidity exposure. The new disclosure requirements will include information such as terms and conditions, the carrying amount of liabilities, the range of payment due dates, non-cashchanges and liquidity risk information around supplier finance arrangements.
The following standard has been issued by the IASB and will be effective as of October 1, 2027 for the Company, with earlier application permitted. The Company will evaluate the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements which is set to replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. The new IFRS accounting standard is aimed to improve comparability and transparency of communication in financial statements. While a number of sections from IAS 1 have been brought forward to IFRS 18, the standard introduces new requirements on presentation within the statement of profit or loss, including specified totals and subtotals. It also requires disclosure of management-defined financial performance measures used in public communications outside financial statements and includes new requirements for aggregation and disaggregation of financial information based on the identified roles of the primary financial statements and the notes. Retrospective application is required in both annual and interim financial statements.

On January 30, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors authorized and subsequently received regulatory approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) for the renewal of its Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB) which allows for the purchase for cancellation of up to 20,457,737 Class A subordinate voting shares on the open market through the TSX, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and/or alternative trading systems or otherwise pursuant to exemption orders issued by securities regulators. The Class A subordinate voting shares were available for purchase for cancellation commencing on February 6, 2024 until no later than February 5, 2025, or on such earlier date when the Company has either acquired the maximum number of Class A subordinate voting shares allowable under the NCIB or elects to terminate the bid.
