Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2010 Financial Results; Revenues

of $1.056 Billion and Fully Diluted EPS of $0.39 Per Share; Includes ($0.10) Per Share

For IAM Stock Award


WICHITA, Kan., Aug. 3 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

    

    -- Second Quarter 2010 Revenues of US$1.056 billion


    -- Operating Income of US$86 million; Operating Margins of 8.1 percent


    -- Fully Diluted Earnings Per Share of US$0.39 per share


    -- Cash and Cash Equivalents were US$118 million


    -- Total backlog of approximately US$27.2 billion


    Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SPR) reported second quarter

2010 financial results reflecting solid operating performance.


    Spirit's second quarter 2010 revenues were US$1.056 billion, down

slightly from US$1.060 billion for the same period of 2009, driven by model

mix and volume. Operating income increased to US$86 million, compared to

(US$10) million for the same period in 2009. Net income for the quarter

increased to US$55 million, or US$0.39 per fully diluted share, compared to

(US$8) million, or (US$0.06) per fully diluted share, in the same period of

2009.


    Second quarter pre-tax earnings were reduced by approximately (US$19)

million for the quarter, or (US$0.10) per share, related to the award of

stock to eligible union employees as part of the new 10-year agreement with

Spirit's largest labor union, the International Association of Machinists and

Aerospace Workers (IAM). Results in the comparable quarter of 2009 were

impacted by several unusual charges which also resulted in a tax benefit.

    "We generated solid operating performance across the company," said

President and Chief Executive Officer Jeff Turner. "With our core businesses

executing well, continued progress on our development programs, and our team

for the future intact, we have the positive momentum needed to fulfill our

long-term value creation strategy."


    "Underscoring our ongoing diversification, on July 1st, we were pleased

to celebrate the grand opening of Spirit North Carolina in Kinston, NC. A

significant milestone for Spirit, this facility will initially focus on the

design and manufacture of the Airbus A350 XWB Section 15 fuselage and the

forward wing spar employing state-of-the-art composite technology and

processes. We're excited about our continued journey helping build the next

generation of commercial aircraft, as well as our growing partnership with

Airbus and the State of North Carolina," Turner added.


    "Looking forward, the commercial aerospace market continues to

strengthen, with demand for our core products growing. While certain segments

of the business jet market are still a concern and several significant

development milestones are ahead of us, our priority will continue to be on

solid execution as we deliver on our customer commitments to ensure we meet

our company's potential," Turner concluded.


    Spirit's backlog at the end of the second quarter of 2010 was $27.2

billion, down approximately three percent, as deliveries exceeded orders.

Spirit calculates its backlog based on contractual prices for products and

volumes from the published firm order backlogs of Airbus and Boeing, along

with firm orders from other customers.


    Spirit contract profitability estimates during the second quarter of 2010

resulted in no net contract adjustments. In comparison, Spirit recognized a

$33 million unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustment for the second quarter

of 2009.


    Cash flow from operations was a ($7) million use of cash for the second

quarter of 2010, compared to a ($67) million use of cash for the second

quarter of 2009. The current quarter improvement is largely the result of the

slowing of new program inventory growth; net favorable accounts payable and

accounts receivable results, which were largely the result of timing; and

additional receipts of deferred revenue. (Table 2)

    Cash balances at the end of the second quarter 2010 were $118 million and

debt balances were $893 million. At the end of the second quarter, the

company's $409 million revolving credit facility remained undrawn, with

approximately $19 million of the credit facility reserved for financial

letters of credit.


    The company's credit ratings remained unchanged at the end of the second

quarter with a BB rating at Standard & Poor's and a Ba3 rating at Moody's.


    2010 Outlook

    Spirit revenue guidance for the full-year 2010 remains unchanged and is

expected to be between $4.0 and $4.2 billion based on Boeing's 2010 delivery

guidance of 460 - 465 aircraft; anticipated B787 deliveries; expected Airbus

deliveries in 2010 of approximately 498 aircraft; internal Spirit forecasts

for non-OEM production activity and other customers; and foreign exchange

rates consistent with those in the first half of 2010.


    Fully diluted earnings per share guidance for 2010 remains unchanged and

is expected to be between $1.50 and $1.70 per share.


    Cash flow from operations, less capital expenditures, is expected to be

approximately ($250) million use of cash in the aggregate, with capital

expenditures of approximately $325 million. Anticipated capital expenditures

in 2010 include approximately $100 million of tooling associated with the

Airbus A350 XWB program. Cash flow from operations, less capital

expenditures, is expected to be significantly improved in 2011.


    The effective tax rate, forecasted to be approximately 27 percent for

2010, remains unchanged. This assumes the benefit attributable to extending

the U.S. research tax credit. (Table 3)


    Risk to our financial guidance includes, among other factors: higher than

forecasted non-recurring and recurring costs on our development programs;

mid-range business jet market risks; our ability to achieve anticipated

productivity and cost improvements; and the ability to resolve significant

787 program claims with Boeing.

    Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

    This press release contains "forward-looking statements." Forward-looking

statements reflect our current expectations or forecasts of future events.

Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of

forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate,"

"intend," "estimate," "believe," "project," "continue," "plan," "forecast,"

or other similar words, or the negative thereof, unless the context requires

otherwise. These statements reflect management's current views with respect

to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties, both known and

unknown. Our actual results may vary materially from those anticipated in

forward-looking statements. We caution investors not to place undue reliance

on any forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual

results to differ materially from those reflected in such forward-looking

statements and that should be considered in evaluating our outlook include,

but are not limited to, the following: our ability to continue to grow our

business and execute our growth strategy, including the timing and execution

of new programs; our ability to perform our obligations and manage costs

related to our new commercial and business aircraft development programs and

the related recurring production; potential reduction in the build rates of

certain Boeing aircraft including, but not limited to, the B737 program, the

B747 program, the B767 program and the B777 program, and build rates of the

Airbus A320 and A380 programs, which could be negatively impacted by

continuing weakness in the global economy and economic challenges facing

commercial airlines, and by a lack of business and consumer confidence and

the impact of continuing instability in the global financial and credit

markets, including, but not limited to, sovereign debt concerns in Europe;

the inability to resolve significant claims with Boeing related to

non-recurring and recurring costs on the B787 program; declining business jet

manufacturing rates and customer cancellations or deferrals as a result of

the weakened global economy; the success and timely execution of key

milestones such as certification and delivery of Boeing's new B787 and

Airbus' new A350 XWB aircraft programs, including receipt of necessary

regulatory approvals and customer adherence to their announced schedules; our

ability to enter into supply arrangements with additional customers and the

ability of all parties to satisfy their performance requirements under

existing supply contracts with Boeing and Airbus, our two major customers,

and other customers and the risk of nonpayment by such customers; any adverse

impact on Boeing's and Airbus' production of aircraft resulting from

cancellations, deferrals or reduced orders by their customers or from labor

disputes or acts of terrorism; any adverse impact on the demand for air

travel or our operations from the outbreak of diseases such as the influenza

outbreak caused by the H1N1 virus, avian influenza, severe acute respiratory

syndrome or other epidemic or pandemic outbreaks; returns on pension plan

assets and impact of future discount rate changes on pension obligations;

competition from original equipment manufacturers and other aerostructures

suppliers; the effect of governmental laws, such as U.S. export control laws,

the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, environmental laws and agency regulations,

both in the U.S. and abroad; the cost and availability of raw materials and

purchased components; our ability to successfully extend or renegotiate our

primary collective bargaining contracts with our labor unions; our ability to

recruit and retain highly skilled employees and our relationships with the

unions representing many of our employees; spending by the U.S. and other

governments on defense; the possibility that our cash flows and borrowing

facilities may not be adequate for our additional capital needs or for

payment of interest on and principal of our indebtedness and the possibility

that we may be unable to borrow additional funds or refinance debt; our

exposure under our revolving credit facility to higher interest payments

should interest rates increase substantially; the outcome or impact of

ongoing or future litigation and regulatory actions; our exposure to

potential product liability and warranty claims; and the other factors

described under Item 1A, "Risk Factors," of our Annual Report on Form 10-K

for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. These factors are not exhaustive

and it is not possible for us to predict all factors that could cause actual

results to differ materially from those reflected in our forward-looking

statements. These factors speak only as of the date hereof and new factors

may emerge or changes to the foregoing factors may occur that could impact

our business. As with any projection or forecast, these statements are

inherently susceptible to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Except to

the extent required by law, we undertake no obligation to, and expressly

disclaim any obligation to, publicly update or revise any forward-looking

statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or

otherwise.
