PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION CGI issues unaudited results for fourth quarter ended September 30, 2002 Montreal, Quebec, October 21, 2002 - CGI Group Inc. (CGI) (TSX: GIB.A; NYSE: GIB;) a leading provider of end-to-end information technology and business processing services, today announced unaudited results for its fiscal 2002 fourth quarter ended September 30, 2002. Revenue was CDN$571.9 million, up 23.8% over revenue of $461.9 million reported in last year's fourth quarter. In the fourth quarter, net earnings totalled $35.5 million, or 6.2% of revenue, up 30.3% compared with earnings before amortization of goodwill of $27.3 million in the same period of 2001, which represented 5.9% of revenue. Basic net earnings per share were $0.09 in the fourth quarter, against comparable cash net earnings per share of $0.08 in last year's fourth quarter. It should be noted that in accordance with CICA recommendations, CGI stopped recording amortization of goodwill on October 1, 2001, rendering earnings before amortization of goodwill (cash net earnings) and net earnings equivalent starting in fiscal 2002. Revenue in the fourth quarter was above expectations primarily as a result of contribution from its joint venture with Canada Post Corporation, Innovapost. Given an accelerated start-up phase revenue was realized earlier than initially anticipated. CGI will announce audited results for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002 on Tuesday, November 5, 2002 before the markets open. Individuals may listen to the Company's quarterly conference call at 9:00 am ET by dialing (888) 740-9683 or through the Internet at www.cgi.com.
