Q2 2022 Headlines:
- Revenue grew 30% (negative 2% organic growth, 2% after adjusting for changes in foreign exchange rates) to $1,618 million compared to $1,249 million in Q2 2021.
- Net income attributable to common shareholders increased 43% to $126 million ($5.94 on a diluted per share basis) from $88 million ($4.16 on a diluted per share basis) in Q2 2021.
- A number of acquisitions were completed for aggregate cash consideration of $1,000 million (which includes acquired cash). Deferred payments associated with these acquisitions have an estimated value of $62 million resulting in total consideration of $1,062 million.
- Cash flows from operations (“CFO”) were $78 million, a decrease of 55%, or $93 million, compared to $171 million for the comparable period in 2021.
- Free cash flow available to shareholders1 (“FCFA2S”) decreased $133 million to $12 million compared to $145 million for the same period in 2021.
- Subsequent to June 30, 2022, the Company completed or entered into agreements to acquire a number of businesses for aggregate cash consideration of $134 million (which includes acquired cash). Deferred payments associated with these acquisitions have an estimated value of $30 million resulting in total consideration of $164 million.
Total revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was $1,618 million, an increase of 30%, or $370 million, compared to $1,249 million for the comparable period in 2021. For the first six months of 2022 total revenues were $3,050 million, an increase of 26%, or $625 million, compared to $2,425 million for the comparable period in 2021. The increase for both the three and six month periods compared to the same periods in the prior year is primarily attributable to growth from acquisitions as the Company experienced organic growth of negative 2% and negative 1% respectively, 2% and 3% respectively after adjusting for the impact of changes in the valuation of the US dollar against most major currencies in which the Company transacts business. Organic growth is not a standardized financial measure and might not be comparable to measures disclosed by other issuers.
The Net income attributable to common shareholders of CSI for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 was $126 million compared to net income of $88 million for the same period in 2021. On a per share basis this translated into a net income per diluted share of $5.94 in the quarter ended June 30, 2022 compared to net income per diluted share of $4.16 for the same period in 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net income attributable to common shareholders of CSI was $224 million or $10.58 per diluted share compared to $80 million or $3.76 per diluted share for the same period in 2021.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, CFO decreased $93 million to $78 million compared to $171 million for the same period in 2021 representing a decrease of 55%. For the first six months of 2022, CFO decreased $91 million to $576 million compared to $667 million during the same period in 2021, representing a decrease of 14%. The primary reason for the decline in CFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 is the impact of changes in non-cash operating assets and liabilities exclusive of effects of business combinations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 there was $188 million and $18 million of cash used in non-cash operating working capital respectively compared to $99 million of cash used and $100 million of cash generated from non-cash operating working capital for the same periods in 2021. There are many reasons contributing to the non-cash operating working capital impact variance none of which are indicative of an underlying concern with the Company’s overall non-cash operating working capital balance. Specifically, no concerns with accounts receivable or unbilled revenue aging. In addition, income taxes paid increased 50% or $49 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 and 28% or $41 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 over the same periods in 2021.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, FCFA2S decreased $133 million to $12 million compared to $145 million for the same period in 2021. For the first six months of 2022, FCFA2S decreased $79 million to $335 million compared to $413 million during the same period in 2021, representing a decrease of 19%. The items negatively impacting CFO summarized above are the same items negatively impacting FCFA2S. On February 1, 2022, the Topicus Preferred Shares and Topicus Coop Preference Units were converted to Topicus Subordinate Voting Shares and Topicus Coop Ordinary Units respectively. As a result of this conversion the non-controlling interest in Topicus.com Inc. decreased from approximately 70% to 39%.

Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements herein may be “forward looking” statements that involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Constellation or the industry to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or not such results will be achieved. A number of factors could cause actual results to vary significantly from the results discussed in the forward looking statements. These forward looking statements reflect current assumptions and expectations regarding future events and operating performance and are made as of the date hereof and Constellation assumes no obligation, except as required by law, to update any forward looking statements to reflect new events or circumstances.
Non-IFRS Measures
Free cash flow available to shareholders ‘‘FCFA2S’’ refers to net cash flows from operating activities less interest paid on lease obligations, interest paid on other facilities, credit facility transaction costs, repayments of lease obligations, the IRGA / TSS membership liability revaluation charge, and property and equipment purchased, and includes interest and dividends received. The portion of this amount applicable to non-controlling interests is then deducted. We believe that FCFA2S is useful supplemental information as it provides an indication of the uncommitted cash flow that is available to shareholders if we do not make any acquisitions, or investments, and do not repay any debts. While we could use the FCFA2S to pay dividends or repurchase shares, our objective is to invest all of our FCFA2S in acquisitions which meet our hurdle rate.
FCFA2S is not a recognized measure under IFRS and, accordingly, readers are cautioned that FCFA2S should not be construed as an alternative to net cash flows from operating activities.
The following table reconciles FCFA2S to net cash flows from operating activities:
