FALLS CHURCH, Va., April 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — General Dynamics today reported first-quarter 2008 earnings from continuing operations of $573 million, or $1.42 per share on a fully diluted basis, compared with 2007 first-quarter earnings from continuing operations of $440 million, or $1.07 per share fully diluted. Revenues grew to $7 billion in the quarter, an 11.2 percent increase over first-quarter 2007 revenues of $6.3 billion. Net earnings for the first quarter of 2008 were $572 million, a 31.8 percent increase over first quarter 2007.
Margins
Company-wide operating margins for the first quarter of 2008 increased 150 basis points over the first quarter of 2007, to 12.3 percent.
Backlog
The company’s funded and total backlog each grew by approximately $2.9 billion in the first quarter of 2008, to $40 billion and $49.8 billion respectively at the end of the period. Compared to first-quarter 2007, funded backlog grew by 16 percent and total backlog grew by 14.1 percent.
Cash
Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations in the quarter totaled $431 million. Free cash flow from operations, defined as net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations less capital expenditures, was $346 million for the period.
“General Dynamics’ performance in the first quarter of 2008 was excellent,” said Nicholas D. Chabraja, chairman and chief executive officer. “Earnings grew substantially over the first quarter of 2007, and significant sales-volume increases in Combat Systems, Marine Systems and the Aerospace segment reflect ongoing demand for each group’s products. While revenue in Information Systems and Technology was essentially unchanged year-over-year, the group’s operating earnings and margin rates increased for the period.
“Orders in the quarter were very strong, with $2.9 billion in future revenue being added to the company’s funded backlog. Notable contract awards include $1.2 billion for upgrades to Abrams tanks, $1.1 billion for a Virginia-class submarine and $1.4 billion for construction of the first DDG-1000 Zumwalt-class destroyer.
“Strong operating performance, lower interest expense and stock-repurchase activity in the quarter all contributed to a 34 percent increase in earnings per share on a fully diluted basis compared to the first quarter of 2007,” Chabraja said.
General Dynamics, headquartered in Falls Church, Virginia, employs approximately 84,000 people worldwide. The company is a market leader in business aviation; land and expeditionary combat systems, armaments and munitions; shipbuilding and marine systems; and information systems and technologies.

(A) The company’s management believes free cash flow from operations is
a measurement that is useful to investors, because it portrays the
company’s ability to generate cash from its core businesses for such
purposes as repaying maturing debt, funding business acquisitions
and paying dividends. The company uses free cash flow from
operations to assess the quality of its earnings and as a
performance measure in evaluating management. The most directly
comparable GAAP measure to free cash flow from operations is net
cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations.

(B) The company’s management believes return on invested capital is a
measurement that is useful to investors, because it reflects the
company’s ability to generate returns from the capital it has
deployed in its operations. The company uses ROIC to evaluate
investment decisions and as a performance measure in evaluating
management. The company defines ROIC as net operating profit after
taxes for the latest 12-month period divided by the sum of the
average debt and shareholders’ equity for the same period. Net
operating profit after taxes is defined as earnings from continuing
operations plus after-tax interest and amortization expense. The
most directly comparable GAAP measure to net operating profit after
taxes is earnings from continuing operations.

( C ) Debt-to-equity ratio is calculated as total debt divided by total
equity as of the end of the period.

(D) Debt-to-capital ratio is calculated as total debt divided by the sum
of total debt plus total equity as of the end of the period.

(E) Book value per share is calculated as total equity divided by total
outstanding shares as of the end of the period.

(F) Includes independent research and development and bid and proposal
costs and Gulfstream product development costs.

(G) Sales per employee is calculated by dividing net sales for the
latest 12-month period by the company’s average number of employees
during that period.

* The estimated potential contract value represents management’s estimate
of the company’s future contract value under indefinite delivery,
indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts and unexercised options associated
with existing firm contracts. Because the value in the IDIQ
arrangements is subject to the customer’s future exercise of an
indeterminate quantity of delivery orders, the company recognizes these
contracts in backlog only when they are funded. Unexercised options are
recognized in backlog when the customer exercises the option and
establishes a firm order.

CertiPath Names Kaus Phaltankar VP of Business Solutions

June 18th, 2008 by admin

HERNDON, Va., April 28 /PRNewswire/ — CertiPath, the identity management and secure information sharing authority, has appointed Kaus Phaltankar as vice president of business solutions.
Phaltankar, a certified information systems auditor (CISA) and certified information systems security professional (CISSP), brings two decades of innovative network and security experience coupled with a proven track record of driving new business initiatives. He has designed and implemented security architecture for numerous Fortune 500 companies, patented resilient network infrastructure design and authored an industry-leading book on implementing secure intranets and extranets.
Phaltankar is a veteran of PKI (public key infrastructure) technology, the leading mechanism for identity management and authentication exchange, and managed the Internet’s first commercial PKI certificate authority. His leadership ensures that CertiPath has the resources and intelligence to expand its PKI communications bridge, streamlining secure connectivity across various industries.
“Kaus has been on the frontlines of secure information sharing since its inception,” said Jeff Nigriny, CertiPath president and COO. “His business and technical experience enables CertiPath to provide the next generation of secure connectivity to global organizations, starting in the commercial aviation space. Kaus will spend the next year evaluating the networking structure of our nation’s airports and commercial aircrafts, ultimately devising a plan that will allow them to communicate securely with trusted partners and suppliers.”
With CertiPath’s highly scalable model for managing and conveying identity assurance, organizations join a “trust fabric” that provides industry-wide efficiency, risk-mitigation and new opportunities to engage with a broader pool of prospective partners.

“CertiPath founded its service on trust, delivering secure communication to the A&D industry in the form of PKI. Now the organization is positioned to expand the service, making secure collaboration more accessible within aviation, defense and other industries. Because supply chains are rarely contained entirely in one vertical, the business benefits of wide-scale PKI adoption are immeasurable,” said Phaltankar, who will report to Nigriny. “It’s exciting to operate on the cutting edge of secure information sharing, delivering new capabilities around the world.”

Harris Corporation Third Quarter Revenue Increases 24%; Orders Higher Than Revenue in All Four Operating Segments

June 12th, 2008 by admin

MELBOURNE, Fla., April 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Harris Corporation reported revenue for its third quarter of fiscal year 2008 of $1.33 billion, an increase of 24 percent compared to $1.07 billion in the prior-year quarter. Organic revenue increased 15 percent, excluding the impact of prior-year acquisitions.
Net income for the third quarter of fiscal year 2008 was $108 million, or $.78 per diluted share. Net income in the prior-year quarter, which included a significant gain associated with the Harris Stratex Networks combination, was $215 million, or $1.52 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income, excluding acquisition-related costs and gains, was $110 million, or $.81 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, compared to $101 million, or $.72 per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter. Third quarter fiscal year 2008 earnings were adversely impacted by a previously announced charge of $47 million for cost overruns on several commercial satellite reflector programs. Also, as previously announced, third quarter earnings benefited from a low effective tax rate. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is provided in Tables 5 through 8 along with accompanying notes.
“Strong revenue growth continued in the third quarter across all of our businesses. Even with the impact of the commercial reflector charge, Harris generated excellent earnings in the quarter,” said Howard L. Lance, chairman, president and chief executive officer. “Orders were particularly strong and our growing backlog should provide excellent momentum entering fiscal 2009.”
Defense Communications and Electronics
Results in the Defense Communications and Electronics segment continued to be excellent, with third quarter revenue of $507 million, an increase of 22 percent compared to the prior-year quarter. Orders were significantly greater than revenue. Operating income of $156 million increased 24 percent, compared to the prior-year quarter, and operating margin was 31 percent. The Defense Communications and Electronics segment is comprised of the RF Communications Division and Defense Programs.
Global market demand for Harris Falcon(R) tactical radios continued to increase at double-digit rates. Deployment of advanced communications systems remains a top customer priority in the U.S. as well as globally. Demand is being driven by modernization programs, force expansion, force restructuring and modularity, and network-centric operations that significantly improve situational awareness. International deliveries were made to a diverse set of customers, including Pakistan, Albania, Algeria, Bulgaria, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia, Georgia, Singapore, Chad, Jamaica, Romania, Spain, Thailand, and the United Kingdom.
Significant RF Communications orders in the third quarter included:

— A $118 million order from the U.S. Army to supply Falcon II(R) high-
frequency (HF) vehicular radio systems for HMMWV’s and other vehicles;

— A $97 million contract to continue upgrading U.S. Marine Corps tactical
radio communications with multiband, multimission JTRS-approved Falcon
III(R) handheld and vehicular radio systems;

— An $80 million order from the Philippines Ministry of Defence for Falcon
radios;

— A $45 million order to supply the U.S. Air Force with a complete suite
of Falcon tactical radios for its fleet of Mine Resistant Ambush
Protected (MRAP) vehicles; and

— A $25 million contract from the Brunei Ministry of Defence to supply
tactical radios, accessories and other equipment to the Combat Net Radio
replacement program of the Royal Brunei Armed Forces.

Announcements in the third quarter related to the robust RF Communications new product funnel included:
— First deliveries of the new Falcon III multiband, multimission manpack
radio, the first wideband networking radio to utilize the Software
Communication Architecture (SCA) and receive NSA Type 1 certification
for the protection of voice and data traffic up through the TOP SECRET
level;

— Deployment of the new Broadband Ethernet high-capacity line-of-site
radio by the 2-25th Stryker Brigade Combat Team of the U.S. Army’s 25th
Infantry Division;

— Introduction of the first multiband land mobile radio that provides
real-time interoperable communications for the growing federal public
safety and homeland security market;

— A contract from the Defence Forces of Norway to provide several
thousand RF-7800S Secure Personal Radios, a lightweight wideband radio
that delivers secure tactical communications to individual soldiers;
and

— Use of the JTRS-approved Falcon III handheld radios in U.S. Army Shadow
200 Unmanned Aerial Vehicles to extend the communications capabilities
of soldiers serving in mountainous and urban environments.

Defense Programs revenue increased in the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, compared to the prior-year quarter. Higher revenue was achieved in a number of strategic Department of Defense (DoD) programs including: the LMST (Lightweight Multiband Satellite Terminal) program for the U.S. Marine Corps, the WIN-T (Warfighter Information Network-Tactical) program for the U.S. Army, the IFCS (Improved Fire Control System) for the U.S. Army Multiple Launch Rocket System, the CDL (Common Data Link) Hawklink program for the U.S. Navy, and the MIDS (Multifunctional Information Distribution System) for DoD aircraft.
Harris products and systems are providing advanced battlespace networking capabilities at virtually every layer of the global communications grid — ground, air, sea and space. Harris develops mobile, ad hoc and self-healing networks for network-centric warfare, providing defense forces with true situational awareness and information assurance, along with multi-level security and leading-edge encryption solutions.
Government Communications Systems
Revenue growth also continued in the Government Communications Systems segment. Third quarter revenue was $491 million, an increase of 27 percent compared to the prior-year quarter. Orders were higher than revenue. Operating income for the third quarter was $6 million and was adversely impacted by the $47 million charge for commercial satellite reflector programs. Operating income in the prior-year quarter was $45 million. The Government Communications Systems segment is comprised of Civil Programs, National Intelligence Programs, and IT Services.
Organic revenue increased 6 percent in the third quarter, compared to the prior-year quarter, driven by the FDCA (Field Data Collection Automation) program for the U.S. Census Bureau, the Patriot IT services program for the NRO (National Reconnaissance Office), the NETCENTS IT integration and services program for the U.S. Air Force, and a number of classified programs.
Major program wins in the third quarter included the potential $410 million, 6.5-year Network and Space Operations and Maintenance (NSOM) program. Harris will provide operations and maintenance support to the 50th Space Wing Air Force Satellite Control Network at locations around the world. Harris also received a $22 million, 6-month extension to a Department of State contract to modernize IT architecture for the Bureau of Consular Affairs. During the quarter, Harris won new classified programs valued at approximately $140 million and was awarded a $20 million, 2-year program to provide satellite reflector antennas for the Sirius Satellite Radio FM 6 satellite expected to be launched in the fourth quarter of 2010.
In a new market for Harris — Healthcare IT — Harris won a $6 million contract during the third quarter from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Harris will develop and integrate an open-source National Health Information Exchange Gateway solution that will enable federal healthcare agencies and healthcare providers to share patient information more quickly and easily, improving the quality of care and reducing costs.
Following the close of the quarter, Harris was awarded a 10-year contract valued at more than $40 million to supply depot support and engineering services for multiple space control systems for the U.S. Space and Missile Systems Center Space Superiority Systems Wing at Los Angeles Air Force Base, California. The value of the contract may increase through future options.
Broadcast Communications
Third quarter revenue in the Broadcast Communications segment was $159 million, an increase of 14 percent compared to the prior-year quarter. Orders were higher than revenue. Operating income was $7 million, compared to non-GAAP operating income of $5 million in the prior-year quarter. In the prior-year quarter, the segment had an operating loss, on a GAAP basis, of $18 million, which included the impact of cost-reduction actions and the discontinuance of a software development effort. Strong orders and an increase in backlog in the third quarter are expected to drive higher sales and operating income in the fourth quarter. A number of new initiatives are also underway to further reduce operating expenses and improve gross margins going forward.
Revenue growth in the third quarter was across all business areas in both U.S. and international markets. Higher revenue is being driven by the continuing global conversion to both digital and HD (high-definition) operations. Sales of Transmission Systems grew at double-digit rates, compared to the prior-year quarter, as a result of strong shipments in the U.S. market for the over-the-air digital transmission build-out. Double-digit growth continued in Infrastructure & Digital Media systems, including routers, graphics equipment and multiviewers. Third quarter sales of traffic and billing Software Solutions also improved, particularly in international markets.
Increasingly, large media customers are selecting the Harris ONE(TM) approach for workflow solutions across the entire broadcast delivery chain, tying workflow and signal flow together to improve productivity and responsiveness. Recent international examples include projects with Chunghwa Telecom in Taiwan; Brazilian broadcaster TV Anhanguera; the Saudi Arabia Ministry of Culture and Information for Saudi Television; Kuwait Television; RTV, the national public broadcaster in Slovenia; and HD suisse, the first HD television channel in Switzerland.
Harris Stratex Networks, Inc.
Revenue for the Harris Stratex Networks segment was $178 million in the third quarter, an increase of 21 percent compared to the prior-year quarter on a pro forma, non-GAAP basis (as if the former Harris Microwave Communications segment and Stratex Networks had been combined since the beginning of fiscal year 2007). Non-GAAP operating income in the third quarter was $11 million, excluding integration costs associated with the Harris Stratex Networks combination, compared with non-GAAP operating income of $4 million in the prior-year quarter. Segment operating income on a GAAP basis was $9 million, compared to $141 million in the prior-year quarter, which included a significant gain associated with the business combination, net of transaction- related costs.
North American revenue increased a strong 16 percent to $57 million in the third quarter compared to the prior-year quarter. Sales continue to be fueled by leased line substitution, foot-print expansion, grant money that is being made available to state, local and federal agencies, and right-of-way users responding to an increased demand for bandwidth expansion and some re-allocation to 1.7 / 2.7 GHz frequencies. International revenue increased 27 percent to $117 million in the third quarter. Growth was led by a 49 percent year-over-year increase in Africa, reflecting a rebound in capital investment following a series of mobile operator consolidations. Revenue growth was also strong in Europe, the Middle East and Russia.
During the quarter, Harald J. Braun was appointed president and chief executive officer of Harris Stratex Networks, succeeding Guy M. Campbell, who had previously announced his retirement. An industry veteran, Braun previously served as president and CEO of Siemens Networks LLC and was most recently senior executive in Nokia Siemens Networks North America.
Harris Stratex Networks management will host a conference call and webcast () today at 5:30 p.m., Eastern Time, to discuss financial results for their fiscal year third quarter.
Outlook
Harris reconfirmed its non-GAAP earnings guidance for fiscal year 2008 previously provided on February 28, 2008 at approximately $3.45 per diluted share. The company increased its earnings guidance for fiscal year 2009 to a new range of $4.05 to $4.15 per diluted share, compared to initial guidance provided on March 5, 2008, of $4.00 to $4.10 per diluted share. Fiscal 2009 earnings guidance now represents a year-over-year increase of 17 to 20 percent compared to current non-GAAP guidance for fiscal year 2008.
The corresponding fiscal year 2008 GAAP earnings guidance is approximately $3.34 per diluted share. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP guidance is provided in Table 7 and the accompanying notes.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the SEC, including net income and earnings per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 excluding the impact of costs associated with our acquisitions and integration costs associated with the formation of Harris Stratex Networks; and earnings per share guidance for fiscal 2008 also excluding the impact of integration costs associated with the formation of Harris Stratex Networks and acquisitions. Harris management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that may, or could, have a disproportionately positive or negative impact on results in any particular period. Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze Harris business trends and to understand Harris performance. In addition, Harris may utilize non-GAAP financial measures as a guide in its forecasting, budgeting, and long-term planning process and to measure operating performance for some management compensation purposes. Any analysis of non-GAAP financial measures should be used only in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP.

FY ‘08 Third Quarter Summary
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND REGULATION G DISCLOSURE

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we provide additional measures of segments’ operating income (loss), non- operating income (loss); cost of product sales and services; engineering, selling and administrative expenses; income before income taxes and minority interest; income taxes; minority interest; net income; and net income per diluted share adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses. Harris management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that may, or could, have a disproportionately positive or negative impact on results in any particular period. Harris management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze Harris business trends and to understand Harris performance. In addition, Harris may utilize non-GAAP financial measures as a guide in its forecasting, budgeting, and long-term planning process and to measure operating performance for some management compensation purposes. Any analysis of non-GAAP financial measures should be used only in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP follows:

GMH Military Housing Becomes Balfour Beatty Communities

May 27th, 2008 by admin

NEWTON SQUARE, Pa., April 30 /PRNewswire/ — GMH Military Housing, the former military housing division of GMH Communities Trust , announced today that it has been successfully acquired by Balfour Beatty plc, a UK-based international engineering, construction, investment and services group, for an aggregate purchase price of $350.5 million. The military housing business will now be managed under the name Balfour Beatty Communities, and will continue its focus as a leading provider of housing for members of the U.S. military and their families throughout the United States. The entire executive management team, as well as existing corporate and project level military housing employees, will remain part of the new company and will work toward creating a seamless transition of the operating structure going forward.
Balfour Beatty Communities currently maintains interests, primarily through joint ventures with the Department of Defense, in 12 military housing projects on 37 military bases (representing approximately 25,700 end-state housing units) having an aggregate development value of approximately $3.0 billion, including one unaccompanied personnel housing project. In addition, the company is in exclusive negotiations for four additional projects on six military bases (representing approximately 6,000 end-state housing units) that are expected to close during the second and third quarters of 2008, as well as one unaccompanied personnel housing project expected to close in the second half of 2008.
The acquisition of the military housing business by Balfour Beatty significantly expands its already extensive presence in the defense sector. Among other development projects within the U.S., Balfour Beatty currently is involved in building the 9/11 Memorial at the Pentagon and provides master planning, engineering, design and design/build services for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Department of Veterans Affairs for healthcare facilities in the U.S., Puerto Rico and Germany.

Bruce Robinson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Balfour Beatty Communities stated, “We are extremely excited to become part of the Balfour Beatty family of companies. We enter into this new phase of our business with tremendous momentum, as we are currently finalizing agreements for several new privatization projects. Our management team and employee base remains unchanged, and is clearly focused on our core strengths of providing high quality housing communities to U.S. military members and their families. We look forward to a rewarding future and further growth of our business through the pursuit of additional defense sector privatization projects, as well as other opportunities within the public-private partnership (PPP) arena.”
Also commenting on the acquisition today, Balfour Beatty plc Chief Executive, Ian Tyler, said, “Balfour Beatty Communities will be central to implementing our U.S. strategy of building a high-quality, domestic U.S. business similar to our very successful UK model. It adds a major, high- quality PPP business to our U.S. group in one of our key target market sectors. GMH will be an excellent springboard into other emerging PPP and support service sectors in the U.S. market, will immediately enhance earnings and generate significant value for our shareholders.
“The military accommodation market is firmly established and is based on strong, long-term relationships between service providers and the U.S. military. We attach great importance to the skills and experience of the management team, who will play a key role in the further development of the business.”
Balfour Beatty Communities is based in Newtown Square, PA and employs approximately 1,000 employees nationwide.

Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2008 Financial Results; Updates Full-Year 2008 Financial Outlook

May 20th, 2008 by admin

WICHITA, Kansas, April 29 /PRNewswire/ —

- First quarter 2008 revenues grew 9 percent to US$1.036 billion

- Operating margins expanded to 12.6 percent

- Fully Diluted Earnings Per Share increased 22 percent to US$0.61 per
share

- Total backlog increased to approximately US$27.5 billion

Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SPR) reported first quarter 2008
financial results reflecting solid revenue and earnings growth in its core
businesses as volume increased on the 737 program and operating efficiencies
across the business offset the impact of delays in the 787 program.

Spirit’s first quarter 2008 revenues increased to US$1.036 billion, up
9 percent from the same period last year. Operating income increased
25 percent to US$130 million, up from US$104 million in the same period a
year ago. Net income was US$85 million, or US$0.61 per fully diluted share,
up from US$70 million, or US$0.50 per fully diluted share, in the same period
of 2007 (Table 1).

(All amounts in US$ unless otherwise noted)

Table 1. Summary Financial Results
1st Quarter
($’s in Millions, except per share data) 2008 2007 Change

Revenues $1,036 $954 9%
Operating Income $130 $104 25%

Earnings per Share (Fully diluted) $0.61 $0.50 22%
Fully Diluted Weighted Avg Share
Count (Millions) 139.6 139.0

“The first quarter results of our core businesses are in-line with my
expectations and I am pleased with the progress we are making towards
realizing our 2008 goals in spite of the challenges on the 787,” said
President and Chief Executive Officer Jeff Turner. “Revenues increased, and
company-wide operating margins and net income expanded as we continued to
execute well across our core businesses,” Turner added. “The additional delay
on the 787 schedule is unfortunate. Over the past four years we have made
significant investments in the program and our 787 team has worked tirelessly
to meet our customer commitments,” Turner continued. “In the first quarter we
aggressively began taking steps to mitigate the impact from slowing 787
production. Today, we are continuing to implement the revised Boeing
production and delivery schedule, and we are reflecting the financial
implications of the revised schedule in our outlook,” Turner added.

“During the quarter we made solid progress on our strategy to diversify.
We won major structures work on the new Cessna Citation Columbus business
jet; announced our participation on the new Gulfstream G650 business jet;
secured an aftermarket contract to provide overhaul, repair, and modification
services for Cathay Pacific Airways’ fleet of 777 Trent 800 Thrust Reversers;
and just last week we announced a new maintenance joint venture with HAECO to
establish a regional service center to serve the Asia-Pacific region,” Turner
concluded.

Spirit’s backlog during the quarter increased four percent from
$26.5 billion to $27.5 billion, as combined net orders for 683 aircraft at
Boeing and Airbus outpaced their combined deliveries of 238 aircraft.
Spirit’s backlog is calculated based on contractual prices for products and
volumes from the published firm order backlogs of Boeing, Airbus, and other
customers.

Spirit updated its contract profitability estimates during the first
quarter of 2008, resulting in a $2 million favorable cumulative catch-up
adjustment, compared to a $6 million favorable cumulative catch-up adjustment
for the first quarter of 2007.

Cash and Debt Balances 2008 2007

Current Portion of Long-term Debt plus
Long-term Debt $667 $595

Cash flow from operations was $70 million for the first quarter, compared
to $50 million for first quarter 2007, as the company continued to invest in
the 787 program and other development programs (Table 2). During the quarter
Spirit and Boeing reached an agreement to revise certain 787 contract payment
terms. The revised terms, among other things, alter the payment terms for 787
unit deliveries from Spirit to Boeing. The amendment also eliminated the
existing delayed payment schedule for ship sets delivered prior to aircraft
certification and ties all payments for ship sets not covered by the
additional advances to the date of delivery by Spirit to Boeing. The revised
terms will result in additional cash advance payments to Spirit from Boeing
during 2008. The initial payment of $124 million was received by Spirit in
the first quarter. The balance of the advance payments will be made to Spirit
over the remaining three quarters of 2008. The additional advances will be
applied against the purchase price of ship sets delivered until fully repaid.

On March 19, 2008, Spirit amended its credit agreements, to among other
things, increase the company’s revolving credit facility from $400 million to
$650 million. Cash balances at the end of the first quarter were $203
million, up $46 million from a year ago, reflecting the $124 million advance
payment from Boeing; planned investment in Spirit’s core business, primarily
for the 787 program; and $75 million of borrowings against the company’s
$650 million credit facility. Debt balances at the end of the first quarter
were $667 million, up $72 million from year-end 2007, reflecting the
outstanding borrowing on the credit facility and planned debt principal
payments. The $75 million in outstanding borrowings against the company’s
credit line was repaid in full on April 2, 2008.

During the quarter, Standard & Poor’s revised the company’s credit
outlook from negative to stable following Spirit’s announcement of its
increased credit line. Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s confirmed their
respective BB and Ba3 corporate ratings for Spirit.

2008 Outlook

Spirit previously issued 2008 revenue guidance of approximately
$4.7 billion based on previously issued 2008 Boeing delivery guidance of
480-490 aircraft and internal Spirit forecasts for Airbus and other products.
Spirit’s revenue guidance assumed delivery of approximately forty-five 787
ship sets from Spirit to Boeing. On April 9, 2008, Boeing announced a revised
schedule that shifted first customer deliveries of the 787 to the third
quarter of 2009, with approximately twenty-five 787 aircraft now expected to
be delivered by the end of 2009.

Spirit now expects to achieve 2008 revenues of approximately $4.4 billion
based on the revised 787 schedule; 2008 Boeing delivery guidance of 480-490
aircraft; 2008 Airbus delivery guidance of greater than 470 aircraft; and
internal Spirit forecasts for other products.

Fully diluted earnings per share for 2008 is now expected to be between
$2.25 and $2.35 as improved operating efficiencies are expected to offset a
portion of the impact of delays in the 787 program (Table 3).

For 2008, cash flow from operations is expected to be approximately $400
million as revised 787 payment terms shift cash receipts from 2009 and early
2010 into 2008. Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $275
million in 2008.
