Wichita, Kan., Feb. 9, 2012 — Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc. [NYSE: SPR] reported fourth quarter and full-year 2011 financial results reflecting strong revenue growth on higher ship set deliveries and solid core operating performance. Full-year net income decreased primarily due to charges recorded on development programs in 2011, including net pre-tax $50 million, or ($0.25) per share, of forward loss charges in the fourth quarter.

Spirit’s fourth quarter 2011 revenues were $1.219 billion, up from $1.071 billion for the same period of 2010 as the company benefited from higher production deliveries during the quarter.

Operating income for the fourth quarter 2011 was $102 million, compared to $96 million for the same period in 2010, primarily driven by increased production volumes, partially offset by the charges recorded on development programs. Net income for the quarter was $60 million, or $0.42 per fully diluted share, compared to $62 million, or $0.44 per fully diluted share, in the same period of 2010. (Table 1)

Revenue for the full-year 2011 increased 17 percent to $4.864 billion.  Operating income for the full-year was $356 million.  Full-year net income decreased 12 percent to $192 million, or $1.35 per fully diluted share, compared to $219 million, or $1.55 per fully diluted share in 2010.

“In 2011 our core businesses generated strong operating performance while we successfully executed increased rates across the business. While the year was challenging for some of our development programs, it also marked many important milestones including finalizing the go-forward plan on the 787 program; Boeing’s decision to pursue the 737 MAX, where Spirit will play a significant role; certification and delivery of the 787 and 747-8 Freighter programs; and progress in the developmental phase of the A350, G650 and G280 programs,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Jeff Turner.  “The global demand for the current and next generation of large commercial airplanes is expanding as we continue to execute well in our established businesses.”

“We delivered over two-hundred and eighty end products to our customers in the fourth quarter, representing a 14 percent increase over 2010.  Among these was the delivery of our first production composite panels for the A350 fuselage from our Kinston, NC facility to our St. Nazaire, France facility where they were successfully joined in the quarter and recently delivered to the customer,” Turner added.

“With the strong long-term global outlook for commercial aerospace, our unique competitive position and our strong financial profile, we are well-positioned to generate long-term value for our shareholders.  As we move into 2012, our priorities will be execution, investing in our core programs, improving profitability, as well as developing, supporting certification, and transitioning new programs to initial production,” Turner concluded.

Spirit’s backlog at the end of the fourth quarter of 2011 increased by over 5 percent to $32 billion as orders exceeded deliveries. 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 updated its contract profitability estimates during the fourth quarter of 2011, resulting in a net pre-tax $21 million, or $0.10 per share, favorable cumulative catch-up adjustment primarily associated with productivity and efficiency improvements in the 737 contract block completed in the fourth quarter of 2011. In comparison, Spirit recognized a net pre-tax $10 million unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustment for the fourth quarter of 2010.

Additionally, the company recorded forward loss charges on the G280 program of an additional pre-tax ($29) million, or ($0.14) per share, driven by the new manufacturing plan and higher forecasted assembly and supply chain costs; the 747-8 program of pre-tax ($18) million, or ($0.09) per share, due to manufacturing cost growth; and the A350 non-recurring wing program of pre-tax ($3) million, or ($0.02) per share, associated with engineering change cost growth.

Cash flow from operations was a $128 million source of cash for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to a $364 million source of cash for the fourth quarter of 2010.  (Table 2)

Table 2. Cash Flow and Liquidity

Cash balances at the end of the year were $178 million, down $304 million from a year ago reflecting the increase in inventory associated with increased production rates and continuing investments in new programs. At the end of 2011, the company’s $650 million revolving credit facility was undrawn.  Approximately $20 million of the credit facility is reserved for financial letters of credit.  Debt balances at the end of the fourth quarter were $1.201 billion.

The company’s credit rating remains unchanged at the end of the fourth quarter 2011 with a BB rating, stable outlook by Standard & Poor’s and a Ba2 rating, stable outlook by Moody’s Investor Services.

Financial Outlook

Spirit revenue guidance for the full-year 2012 is expected to be between $5.2 - $5.4 billion based on Boeing’s 2012 delivery guidance of 585 to 600 aircraft; expected B787 ship set deliveries; expected Airbus deliveries in 2012 of approximately 570 aircraft; internal Spirit forecasts for other customer production activities; expected non-production revenues; and foreign exchange rates consistent with those in 2011.

Fully diluted earnings per share guidance for 2012 is expected to be between $2.00 - $2.15 per share, reflecting continued growth and solid execution in core programs and transitioning new programs to early stages of production.

Cash flow from operations, less capital expenditures, is expected to be greater than $50 million, with capital expenditures of approximately $250 million.

The effective tax rate for 2012 is forecasted to be between 31 and 32 percent assuming the U.S. Research Tax Credit is extended. (Table 3)

Risk to our financial guidance includes, among other factors: 787 delivery volumes; higher than forecast non-recurring and recurring costs on our development programs; mid-range business jet market risks; and our ability to achieve anticipated productivity and cost improvements.
