Fourth quarter 2012 revenue was $261 million, an increase of 32%, or $63
million, compared to $198 million for the comparable period in 2011. For fiscal
year 2012, total revenue was $891 million, an increase of 15%, or $118 million,
compared to $773 million for the 2011 fiscal year. The increase for the quarter
ended December 31, 2012 relative to the same period in the prior year is largely
attributed to growth from acquisitions as organic growth was 8%. The increase
for fiscal year 2012 is mainly attributed to growth from acquisitions as organic
growth was 1% compared to fiscal year 2011.


Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 increased $21 million to $40
million from $19 million for the same period in 2011. On a fully diluted per
share basis this translated into Net income per share of $1.89 in the quarter
ended December 31, 2012 compared to Net income per share of $0.92 in the quarter
ended December 31, 2011. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $93
million compared to $157 million in fiscal year 2011. For the year ended
December 31, 2012, Net income was reduced due to income tax expense of $18
million compared to income tax recovery of $75 million in 2011. The income tax
recovery for the year ended December 31, 2011 was primarily due to a transfer of
certain intangible assets from one subsidiary to another. In the prior year, a
deferred tax asset was recorded on the increase in fair market value arising on
the sale of intellectual property between entities within the Company at the
rate of tax of the entity that acquired the assets notwithstanding that the
gains are not otherwise recorded for accounting and financial reporting on
consolidation. The deferred income tax recovery recorded through profit or loss
represented the amount of these deferred income tax deductions that the Company
determined was probable of being utilized for income tax deduction purposes in
the future. Excluding the deferred income tax recovery, Net income for the year
ended December 31, 2012 increased $24 million to $87 million from $63 million in
fiscal year 2011. Net income per share on a fully diluted basis for the year
increased to $4.11 from $2.99 in fiscal year 2011.


Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 increased 15% to $54
million compared to $47 million for the same period in 2011. On a fully diluted
per share basis this translated into Adjusted EBITDA per share of $2.56 in the
quarter ended December 31, 2012 compared to Adjusted EBITDA per share of $2.24
in the quarter ended December 31, 2011. Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended
December 31, 2012 increased $17 million to $186 million from $169 million in
fiscal year 2011. Adjusted EBITDA per share on a fully diluted basis for the
year increased to $8.77 from $7.96 in fiscal year 2011.


Adjusted net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 increased 55% to $62
million compared to $40 million for the same period in 2011. On a fully diluted
per share basis this translated into Adjusted net income per share of $2.94 in
the quarter ended December 31, 2012 compared to Adjusted net income per share of
$1.90 in the quarter ended December 31, 2011. The increase in Adjusted net
income for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 is largely due to the gains on
sales of available-for-sale financial assets. Adjusted net income for the year
ended December 31, 2012 increased $32 million, or 23%, to $172 million from $140
million in fiscal year 2011. Adjusted net income per share on a fully diluted
basis for the year increased to $8.13 from $6.63 in fiscal year 2011.


Net indebtedness (bank indebtedness less cash) of $3 million, increased by $37
million for the year primarily due to acquisitions. For the year ended December
31, 2012, thirty-five acquisitions were completed, and combined with
post-acquisition settlement payments resulted in cash outflows of $139 million.
In the prior year, twenty-two acquisitions were completed for net cash
consideration, when combined with post-acquisition settlement payments, resulted
in cash outflows of $46 million.

percentage change for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2012

Public Sector

For the quarter ended December 31, 2012, total revenue in the public sector
reportable segment increased by 31%, or $44 million to $189 million, compared to
$145 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. For the year ended
December 31, 2012, total revenue increased by 11%, or $64 million to $636
million, compared to $572 million in 2011. Revenue growth from acquired
businesses contributed approximately $34 million to our Q4 2012 revenues and $67
million to our year ended December 31, 2012 revenues compared to the same
periods in 2011. We have completed 28 acquisitions since the beginning of 2011,
10 of which were acquired in fiscal year 2011. Organic revenues increased by 7%
in Q4 2012 and were unchanged in the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to
the same periods in 2011. Excluding PTS, organic revenues increased 7% in Q4
2012 and 1% in the year ended December 31, 2012 respectively, compared to the
same periods in 2011.


Constellation acquired the Public Transit Solutions business ("PTS") from
Continental Automotive AG ("Continental") on November 2, 2009. Given the
substantial amount of non-recurring revenue historically earned by PTS, gross
revenue from PTS has fluctuated significantly in the past and will continue to
do so in the future.


Private Sector

For the quarter ended December 31, 2012, total revenue in the private sector
reportable segment increased 33%, or $18 million to $72 million, compared to $54
million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. For the year ended December 31,
2012 total revenue increased by 27%, or $53 million to $255 million, compared to
$202 million for the comparable period in 2011. Revenue growth from acquired
businesses contributed approximately $14 million to our Q4 2012 revenues and $42
million to our year ended December 31, 2012 revenues compared to the same
periods in 2011. We have completed 29 acquisitions since the beginning of 2011,
12 of which were acquired in fiscal year 2011. Revenues increased organically by
8% in Q4 2012 and by 6% for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the
same periods in 2011.


Outlook

For Q1 2013, the Company expects gross revenue to be in the range of $245
million to $260 million and expects Adjusted EBITDA margin to be in the range of
14% to 18%. These statements are "forward looking statements" and are based on
the following assumptions which management believes are reasonable under the
current circumstances including (i) Revenue growth will be in the range of 26%
to 33% for Q1 2013, which includes the impact of all companies acquired to date;
(ii) the European acquisitions that the Company completed during the second half
of 2012 and in the first quarter of 2013 will likely have negative Adjusted
EBITDA in Q1 2013, and in aggregate, the European (including UK) operations of
the Company will generate single digit Adjusted EBITDA margins during the
quarter; (iii) North American hiring by the Company during Q1 2013 will be
increased to provide additional professional services capacity to address
backlog and to staff new investments in growth initiatives; (iv) no material
acquisitions will be completed during the remainder of Q1 2013; and (iv) general
economic and market conditions will remain consistent with those in effect on
March 6, 2013. Although management believes these assumptions are reasonable in
the current circumstances, they are subject to various risks and uncertainties
and there are several factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those specified above. See "Forward Looking Statements" below
and also the Company's Management Discussion and Analysis for the year ended
December 31, 2012.

directors to eight members and has appointed Mark Miller, Chief Operating

Forward-Looking Statements 

Certain statements herein including those under "Outlook" above, 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

The term "Adjusted EBITDA" refers to net income before adjusting for finance
income, finance costs, income taxes, equity in net income or loss of equity
investees, impairment of non-financial assets, depreciation, amortization, and
foreign exchange gain or loss. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is
useful supplemental information as it provides an indication of the results
generated by the Company's main business activities prior to taking into
consideration how those activities are financed and taxed and also prior to
taking into consideration asset depreciation and amortization and the other
items listed above. "Adjusted EBITDA margin" refers to the percentage that
Adjusted EBITDA for any period represents as a portion of total revenue for that
period.


"Adjusted net income" means net income adjusted for non-cash expenses (income)
such as amortization of intangible assets, deferred income taxes, and certain
other expenses (income). The Company believes that Adjusted net income is useful
supplemental information as it provides an indication of the results generated
by the Company's main business activities prior to taking into consideration
amortization of intangible assets, deferred income taxes, and certain other
non-cash expenses (income) incurred or recognized by the Company from time to
time. "Adjusted net income margin" refers to the percentage that Adjusted net
income for any period represents as a portion of total revenue for that period.


Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income are not recognized measures under IFRS
and, accordingly, readers are cautioned that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net
income should not be construed as alternatives to net income determined in
accordance with IFRS. The Company's method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA and
Adjusted net income may differ from other issuers and, accordingly, Adjusted
EBITDA and Adjusted net income may not be comparable to similar measures
presented by other issuers. See "Results of Operations - Adjusted EBITDA" and "-
Adjusted net income" for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net
income to net income.
