Section I: Analysis of the Aerospace & Defence sector
9
The Aerospace & Defence (A&D) sector consists of a diverse set of companies. While there are large
conglomerates that develop and manufacture a wide range of aerospace and defence products, there are
also niche players that supply specific technologies or products. The barriers to entry in this sector are high.
Limited access to specific technologies, high development costs and government support make it difficult
for new companies to break into the market.
The commercial aerospace market is comprised of a few prime contractors producing aircrafts and engines,
and numerous companies supplying sub components. In contrast, the defence market has a much more
diverse in character, ranging from conglomerates to small niche players, and from companies developing
complex software to those simply producing metal ammunition cases.
Commercial aircraft manufacturers depend on demand from the highly cyclical airlines industry, while
defence companies are heavily reliant on government military spending.
A&D market 11
The Aerospace and Defence (A&D) Industry reported its best year ever in 2011 in terms of revenue and profit on
the strength of a surging commercial aviation market that more than offset a soft defence performance.
The United States is the largest market, accounting for 60% of the global aerospace and defence sector, followed by
Europe with 34% share and Asia-Pacific with 6% share. Boeing (USA) is the leading market player with 7.4% share
of the sector’s value followed by EADS (Netherlands) with 6.5% share, Lockheed Martin Corporation (USA) with
4.9% share and BAE Systems Plc (UK) with 3.8% share.
Global aerospace and defence (A&D) Industry revenues grew overall by 2.3% in 2011, to USD 681 billion in 2011
from USD 666 billion in 2010, driven largely by increased production levels of large commercial aircraft.

* ROIC – Return on Invested Capital, A&D operating profit/employee or Employee productivity is is a more
accurate measure of a company’s efficiency compared to revenue per employee, which can skew the results and lead
to challenging interpretations of operating efficiency.
In commercial aerospace the industry is looking up, air traffic is strong and steady, driving the lucrative aftermarket
business (the industry delivered a record number of large aircraft and the orders continue, driving record backlog -
more than eight years - at current production rates).
The commercial aircraft segment in 2011 set an annual production record of 1,011 deliveries by Boeing and Airbus.
Indeed, commercial aircraft segment revenues increased by 10.1% in 2011. Commercial aircraft production levels
are anticipated to continue to set new records in 2012, building on the strong growth between 2005 and 2011 when
over 12,500 large commercial aircrafts were ordered. Demand for production is being driven by lightweight aircraft
requiring less maintenance and more fuel-efficient jet engines that reduce the fuel costs for airlines. Also, sales of
new aircrafts are being supported by increasing travel demand, especially in markets such as China, India, Brazil, and
the Middle East, where more people can afford to travel for business and leisure.
A&D market 13
The defence sector is impacted largely by United States (U.S.) uncertainty. Parts of the defence industry are declining
due to decreased military spending primarily in the U.S. and Europe.
Defence companies face more pressure than ever to improve productivity, increase transparency, respond to
increasingly complex government regulations and oversight, tighter schedules, and generally higher expectations.
Persistent security threats (i.e. the Iranian nuclear threat), and geopolitical instability, as witnessed recently in the Middle
East, underscore the need for global security and could rapidly change defence priorities.
Global defence revenues decreased by 3.3% in 2011, primarily due to affordability, competing domestic priorities, weak
economies in the western world, and the drawdown of forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. As the largest global defence
marketplace, accounting for a major portion of defence spending, the U.S. is undergoing a cyclical downturn, starting
with an announced USD 487 billion defence budget cut over the next 10 years, followed by potentially another USD
500 billion sequestration driven defence budget cut. Alternatively, defence spending is increasing in geographies such as
India, China, Japan, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, and Brazil.
.
Performance A&D Industry 14
The A&D industry has resulted in steady revenue and earnings growth, culminating in back-to-back record years of
revenues and profit. The decline in defence revenues should be offset by cost-cutting and aggressive growth actions
taken to maintain operating margins

Performance A&D Industry 15
Employee productivity as measured by operating earnings per employee, although down for the entire global
Industry, showed improvement for commercial aerospace and decreased for the defence segment.
In reviewing the top 20 of global A&D companies representing 70% of the total Industry, we estimate that
commercial aerospace segment revenues grew 10.1%, while defence segment revenues decreased by 3.3%. In
addition, it estimates that commercial aerospace segment operating earnings grew 14.1%, while defence segment
operating earnings decreased 9.2%. Commercial aerospace segment employee growth was 9.2% while defence
segment employee growth was –4.0%. Finally, growth in operating earnings per employee was 4.5%, and -5.4% for
the commercial aerospace and defence segments respectively.
The following figure compares the growth performance of both the commercial aerospace and defence segments in
2011 compared to 2010.
As highlighted by Deloitte’s report (Global Aerospace And Defense Industry Performance wrap-up; July 2012) the
unstable economy and the high public deficits in many European countries have led to a widening gap between
European and the U.S. industry

Aerospace Supply Chain 18
Aerospace supply chain broadly includes primes/original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), Tier 1 suppliers,
Tier 2 suppliers and Tier 3 suppliers. The design, manufacturing and assembly function controlled by primes (e.g.
Boeing, EADS), is the most critical component of the value chain and is characterized by stiff entry barriers due
to related high cost and technological requirements. Primes are supported by Tier 1 suppliers who are
responsible for providing them with equipments and systems such as engines, flight control systems, fuel system
etc. Tier 2 suppliers manufacture and develop parts as per the specifications provided by primes and Tier 1
suppliers, while Tier 3 vendors are responsible for supplying basic products and components to vendors that are
higher up in the hierarchy.
The Tier 1 supplier’s market comprises players such as Rolls-Royce (engines), GE Aviation (engines), and BAE
Plc (wings) who generally have exclusive supplier contracts with OEMs. Further, down the pecking order, the
industry features numerous small and medium sized firms who support Tier 1 vendors by supplying components
and subsystems.
The supply chain gets support from the aftermarket industry (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) which handles
the maintenance and up-gradation of an aeroplane.
The Tier I & Tier II manufacturers were impacted to a greater extent by the slowdown compared to OEMs, who
were saved by the long-term nature of their orders. But the cash position of OEMs was affected due to payment
deferrals by customers and widespread cancellation of orders, which, in turn, impacted Tier I and Tier II
manufacturers to a large extent
Aerospace Supply Chain 19
Cost reduction, ability to focus on core business, and increased speed to market are the main factors driving the
globalisation/outsourcing in aerospace sector manufacturing. E.g. EADS sourced aircraft components worth
US$43 billion from across the globe. The company uses European suppliers and does the final assembly in
France. Bombardier uses North American suppliers and does the final assembly in Montreal. Increasingly,
Boeing and EADS look upon themselves as large-scale system integrators rather than aeroplane manufacturers.
Further, OEM integrators such as Airbus and Boeing are shifting their production to low cost China, India,
Malaysia, Singapore and other Asian countries. It is estimated that savings of around 20 to 30 percent can be
achieved by companies even after considering the transportation and others costs.
As original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have started to focus more on their core competencies (aircraft
overall design, architecture, integration, and final assembly and delivery to end customers), and with technology
becoming more complicated, it requires specialized services to manage MRO requests efficiently. Compared to
the 1970s-80s, when U.S carriers used to manage more than 80 percent of their aircraft maintenance in-house,
the current comparable figure is only around 20 percent. Also, OEMs are searching for avenues to reduce
manufacturing costs by outsourcing more to Tier 1 OEMs; “design to build” packages rather than just “build to
print”. This passing forward of responsibility to suppliers has reduced procurement costs, with the resultant cost
savings invested in new products, services, and capital equipment.
Aerospace Supply Chain 20
Airframe manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers are becoming large scale integrators and co-coordinators of
aeroplane production, while aligning themselves to share the associated risk. The aerospace industry is moving
towards greater dependence on Tier 1s and increased risk sharing by suppliers. There is more focus on system
integration, less internal production capability, and a desire to work with a lesser number of Tier 1 primes.
Simultaneously, there has been a significant reduction in dealings with Tier 2 and Tier 3 suppliers. For instance,
Embraer had about 350 suppliers for their EMB145 aircraft, of which four were risk sharing. On the other hand,
there were 38 suppliers for Embraer’s EMB170/190 aircraft, of which 16 were risk sharing. Similarly, Rolls
Royce had about 250 suppliers for their Trent 500 engine, which came down to 140 suppliers for the Trent 900,
75 suppliers for the Trent 1000 and it is estimated that there would be only around 25 to 35 suppliers for the
engine being developed for the single aisle/narrow body aircraft.
Important is the real contrast in the growth rates globally between OEMs and suppliers, with the former lagging
by nearly five percentage points on average – and this gap looks set to widen. In 2011, suppliers globally saw
average sales growth of 10.4%, compared to just 1.0% on average for OEMs.
Aerospace Supply Chain Components 21
Manufacturing in the aerospace sector is a complex process and involves production of various components
having different technological requirements. It is estimated that airframe and engine together account for around
65 percent of the total production cost of an aircraft, while systems and avionics put together account for
another 25 percent. Following are the details relating to major markets and players in these major component
categories:
Engine manufacturers
Aircraft manufacturers rely on specialized engine manufacturers for propelling their products. In many cases, this
gives airlines an opportunity to choose between two or more engine types, when they buy an aircraft. The engine
manufacturing segment can be broken down into three sub-categories: Turbofan, Turboprop and Turbo shaft.
Turbofans are mostly used in commercial and military aircraft; Turboprops are mostly used in business and
regional jets while Turboshafts are primarily used in helicopters and some vertical takeoff/landing aircraft. This
segment features high share of MRO as a percentage of total segmental sales. The largest part of revenue and
profit margin for engine manufacturers comes from the sale of spare parts, the rent of engines and maintenance
activity. The engine manufacturing market is oligopolistic by nature and is dominated by three major
manufacturers: GE Aviation (a subsidiary of General Electric, based in Evendale, Ohio, USA), Pratt & Whitney
(P&W, a subsidiary of United Technologies Corporation , UTC, based in Hartford, Connecticut, USA), and Rolls
Royce (Derby, UK). Another important engine manufacturer is Snecma (Courcouronnes, France).

This industry also features joint ventures primarily for risk sharing purposes as engine manufacturing requires high-
end technological expertise and large upfront investments. For the LCA market, there are two major joint ventures –
“International Aero Engines” (P&W: 32.5 percent, Rolls-Royce: 32.5 percent, JAEC: 23 percent and MTU aero
engines: 12 percent) and “CFM International”, a 50:50 joint venture between GE and Snecma. CFMI is the world’s
market leader in narrow-body aircraft propulsion and produces the CFM56, which for the first 25 years was the only
engine for the Boeing 737 family and later for the Airbus A340-200/300 family. In 1996, General Electric and Pratt
& Whitney formed another 50/50 joint venture the “Engine Alliance” in order to develop, manufacture, sell and
support a family of modern technology engines for new high-capacity, long-range aircraft. This GP7200 engine was
originally meant for the Boeing 747-500/600Xprojects, before these were cancelled due to a lack of demand from
airlines.
Aerospace Supply Chain Components 23
Instead, the engine has been re-optimized for use on the Airbus A380 and is competing with the Rolls-Royce
Trent 900, the launch engine for this aircraft.
Apart from the large OEMs and the corresponding joint ventures (with a regional emphasis on the U.S), there
are several first and second tier suppliers in the global engine market in Europe such as MTU Aero Engines of
Germany, Volvo Aero of Sweden, Avio S.p.A. of Italy, and ITP Engines of the UK.
The engine manufacturing outlook seems positive with demand anticipated to be driven by need for greener,
more fuel-efficient engines due to the extreme pressure, jet emissions put on the environment. There will arise a
demand for 141,000 engines, worth over US$800 billion, over the next 20 years. Most of this demand is expected
to emerge out of the faster growing markets of Asia, the Middle East and Latin America. Mature markets of
Europe and North America will also see demand as airlines seek to replace thousands of older aircraft. The
after-market and services opportunity created by these deliveries is estimated at around US$600 billion over their
service lives.
Engines delivery summary (2009-2028)
Avionics
Avionics/aviation electronics, comprise electronic aircraft systems like fly-by-wire (or even fly-by-light) flight
controls, system monitoring, anti-collision systems and pilot assistant/ interface systems like communication,
flight management systems, navigation, or weather forecast.
European competencies in avionics include pilot night-vision systems for helicopters, Traffic alert and Collision
Avoidance System (TCAS) or the fly by wire technology. Airbus and Eurocopter were first in the world to
introduce this technology in civil aircraft and helicopter. Thales, Diehl Aerospace and Liebherr Aerospace are
major European suppliers of flight avionics. Rockwell Collins, Honeywell International, L-3 Communications are
major players in the global avionics market.
Landing gear
The landing gear market for LCA is a duopoly between Messier-Dowty (a subsidiary of Safran) and Goodrich.
Both of them offer a complete range of landing gear and are the principal suppliers to Airbus and Boeing.
Liebherr, the third player in the segment, produces landing gear for regional and business jets. In the medium
term, Liebherr may penetrate the LCA market, and disturb the prevalent duopoly.
The segment’s cooperation with OEMs remains strong since landing gear needs to integrate with the structure
of the aircraft. Like the propulsion system, the landing gear also needs maintenance. Services too make up a
significant portion of total sales. For instance, services make up 48 percent of landing gear activity for the Safran
Group.
Aerospace Supply Chain Components 25
Maintenance, repair & overhaul (MRO) industry
The worldwide airline MRO market consists primarily of airframe
maintenance, engine and component work as well as line maintenance. On
an average, the aerospace industry spends more annually on MRO than on
manufacturing or development. The greatest share of revenue from MRO is Global MRO market size: 2008-2020

Outlook A&D Industry 26
For 2012 it is expected growth in commercial aerospace, resulting from strong and steady demand for global
aviation and increased commercial aircraft production. In the early part of 2012, economic indicators are
generally positive.
The aerospace industry is hopeful about the future as the sector is expected to grow at a 5-year CAGR of 5.3
between 2009 and 2014. The market is predicted to be valued at US$1,190.5 billion by end of 2014. This positive
outlook can be attributed to a positive GDP growth outlook, rising incomes, improving health of airlines, and
the large order backlogs with air-framers (Boeing, EADS).

The largest announcement during the first quarter of 2011 was TransDigm’s acquisition of AmSafe Partners
from Greenbriar Equity Group and Berkshire Partners for USD 750 million. AmSafe has a high installed base of
safety and restraint equipment among the global fleet, and is a supplier to the A380, A350 and 787 programs.
This transaction supports TransDigm’s acquisition growth strategy.
The other large deal this quarter was the USD 400 million acquisition of UFC Aerospace by BE Aerospace. This
acquisition improves BE Aerospace’s position in logistics services, as UFC Aerospace is a distributor of
fasteners, paints and tooling.

Divestiture of slower-growth defence businesses and private equity exits dominate the list of largest deals. Two
headline divestitures:
• The Northrop Grumman shipbuilding spin-off;
• The break-up of ITT, ranked among the top five deals this year.
In addition, four of the top 10 deals were sales by private equity companies to strategic investors.
On the buy side, only one private equity purchase made the list the Providence Equity Partners acquisition of SRA
International.
Private equity exits played a role in each year. Activist investors had a part to play in some of the large 2011
divestitures but financial investor involvement was most evident in the smaller deals.

It is interesting to note that when the sample is expanded to include all deals, regardless of whether a value was
disclosed or not, the% of deals involving a US entity actually declined.
These concurrent trends of significant US involvement in the largest deals with overall deal activity driven more
by non-US players are expected to continue.
The drivers are that US entities tend to be among the larger sector constituents while non-US entities are
growing in terms of their importance to the sector. This is being supported by increasing defence budgets and
air travel in several overseas regions such as Asia and the Middle East.

European outbound activity was significant in 2011, and is likely to pick back up over the remainder of 2012.
EADS could drive some of this activity as they have indicated interest in using cash built up from commercial
aircraft orders to diversify into non-commercial aviation or commercial service targets.
EADS is looking to grow its US presence through acquisitions. The company gets less than 3% of its revenue
from US subsidiaries and has stated its intention to grow its US revenue from USD 1.8 billion today to about
USD 10 billion.
In addition, the US is an attractive market due to the relative size of defence spending as well as the
opportunity to create a natural currency hedge. This could lead to more European outbound deals for US
companies.
While many of the largest A&D companies are located in the US and Europe, foreign aerospace and defence
demand is supporting the development of sector constituents in emerging nations.

to Asia Pacific totals. Acquisitions to access Western aerospace technology are likely to the extent that these deals
can be approved. In addition, joint ventures will help bridge technological gaps as well as allow Western
aerospace companies access to this burgeoning market.
For example, Textron recently announced joint ventures with AVIC and China’s Chengdu government for
undisclosed values. The purpose of these agreements is to manufacture and certify business and general aircraft
in the country.

The distribution of deals by A&D category demonstrates the relatively favorable growth in aerospace, with the
proportion of targets in this part of the sector increasing over time.
With OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) backlogs contributing to higher overall sector growth
prospects, aerospace M&A is likely to continue to lead the A&D deal market in 2012

In addition, financial investors were absent in the first quarter after increasing their participation during 2011.
While financial investors were not significant acquirers in the first quarter, these investors did continue their
involvement in the overall market for aerospace and defence M&A.
While financial investors are likely to continue to have an influential role in the A&D deal market during all of
2012, strategic investors remain best-positioned to lead overall activity. As indicated earlier, liquidity remains
high and, while financial leverage has edged upward, it does not appear to be an impediment to enacting larger
deals.

The resources invested in aerospace, defense, and national security R&D continue to dominate U.S. federal funding
and constitute an important part of overall global R&D. U.S. federally funded defense R&D will reach nearly $75
billion in 2012, exceeding every other country’s total R&D except that of China, Japan, and Germany. With the
defense R&D of these leaders and others, global defense R&D will likely account for more than $150 billion in
2012 or nearly 10% of all global R&D. Of U.S. corporate R&D, the sector as a whole, at $13.8 billion, will account
for less than 5% in 2012, though key prime contractors are investing substantial funds in R&D activities.
It is important to consider that corporate R&D decisions and investments in this sector are often driven by the
directives and future mission requirements tied to the federal government funding that these companies receive for
both research services and procurement. Thus, corporate aerospace, defense, and national security R&D is more
strongly tied to federal budget priorities than any other sector.
The increasing importance of and reliance on unmanned and autonomous vehicles and real-time situational
awareness and sensor systems continue to change the aerospace, defense, and national security R&D landscape.
The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) sector alone is forecast by Teal Group to reach $2.6 billion in global R&D in
2011 and to more than double in less than a decade. Likewise, the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) market
is growing rapidly, at a rate currently estimated by Booz & Co. of nearly 13% per year, with R&D investments
mirroring this projected market growth. These systems, by their nature and scale, provide system-level R&D
opportunities that historically were limited to major prime contractors with large manufacturing capacities.

Global R&D 39
Larger corporations such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman are indeed engaged in developing
and producing UAVs and AUVs. One of the largest and best known developers of UAVs is General Atomics
Aeronautical Systems, a private corporation and manufacturer of the well-known Predator UAV.
These larger companies likely dominate the R&D expenditures, but many smaller companies are also engaged both
as subcontractors and primes in significant efforts in these technological areas. Kaman Aerospace, whose annual
aerospace R&D investment is less than 1% of its partner Lockheed Martin, has developed key components of the
K-MAX autonomous helicopter platform recently selected for full deployment. As in other industries, the R&D
capabilities inherent in these small to midsized firms make them attractive acquisition targets for larger
corporations. Airborne Technologies, a small UAV developer and manufacturer, was acquired by L-3
Communications last year as L-3 sought to broaden its capabilities. Early-stage R&D efforts in these technologies,
along with efforts in other sensor and monitoring technologies, cyber security, nanotechnology and advanced
materials, biofuels, and medical technologies, will see continued defense R&D funding, for which numerous
smaller firms may see a more level playing field over the next five to 10 years.

The field of commercial aircraft will continue the positive trend of growth regarding the production also during
2012 due mainly to two factors:
• The increase in passenger traffic (tourism and business) coming mainly from the areas of Asia Pacific;
• Innovative approach to solutions development of new generation aircraft.
The figure illustrates a 30-year history and forecast for large commercial aircraft orders and production, including
a consensus estimate for 2012 and 2013. The latest data predicts commercial aircraft production to be between
26,900 and 33,500 units by 2030.
It should be noted that the seven-year moving average for production is expected to reach 1,000 aircraft by
2013. This is quite an accomplishment given that only about 20 years ago, the seven-year moving average for
aircraft production was approximately 500 aircraft per year.
Commercial Aviation Market 43
For 2011, the International Air Transportation Association (IATA) reported passenger revenue growth of 5.9%.
This level of demand bodes well for the 20-year forecast of approximately 33,000 new planes at a value greater
than USD 4 trillion. Airline profitability is projected to be about USD 7 billion globally in 2011. However, rising oil
prices continue to threaten profitability into 2012.

Air travel markets expanded in June, but the trend in passenger traffic growth has slowed. Global passenger
markets were 6.2% higher in June than a year ago, up on weaker May growth of 4.5%. However, the broader trend
in air travel, as shown by seasonally adjusted global RPKs in the first chart below, is losing pace. Over the month,
air travel increased just 0.3% in June compared to May, an annualized rate of growth of less than 4%. In fact, the
trend in air travel from early 2012 through to June has been growing at a weak 2% annualized rate.

Commercial Aviation Market 45
The trend in total air freight continues to show improvement, with an increase of 0.6% in global FTKs in June
compared to May. This brings seasonally adjusted June FTK levels more than 3% above the low point in Q4 2011.
Moreover, air freight also expanded slightly compared to a year ago, with a 0.8% increase in June.
This increase is no longer being primarily driven by only Middle Eastern airlines.
Strong performance of air freight in North America over recent months means airlines in that region and in
the Middle East contribute about 45% each to the increase in global FTKs since the end of 2011. Air freight
carried by Asia/Pacific airlines, the largest share of the air cargo market, is now responsible for only about
2% of the improvement to date.
Air freight load factors improved slightly in June month-on-month, on the back of the improvement in
demand, maintaining levels above the 2011 year-end lows. Middle Eastern and North American airlines have
benefited the improvements in air freight demand, both regions increasing load factors on a year ago.

In December it highlighted the major risk facing the outlook to airline profitability as coming from the sovereign debt
crisis in the euro-zone. Liquidity from the European Central Bank and a second Greek bailout has not resolved this
problem, but has probably pushed this risk beyond 2012. However, sharply rising oil prices have replaced Eurozone debt
as the major downside risk in 2012.
The regional composition of the forecast has changed significantly, with US and Latin American airlines expected to
generate more profit, offset by larger losses in Europe and smaller profits in Asia-Pacific. Moreover, risks to the central
forecast have risen with turmoil in the Eurozone threatening a banking crisis, of a much larger scale than assumed in the
central forecast. Moreover oil prices risk from supply disruptions in the Middle East, be dismissed. These risks to airline
profits remain skewed towards the downside.

Business Aviation will continue to grow at stable rates, especially in the less-affected Med-Large Biz Jet segment,
whilst deliveries of over 9000 business jet aircraft are forecasted for the period 2008-2018.
Demand from outside North America and Europe will increase considerably as world economies grow. In
particular, India, China, Latin America, Middle East and Africa will lead with projected real GDP growth above the
world average of 3.4%.
By 2030, economies outside of North America and Europe will account for 51% of global GDP, up 11 percentage

COMMERCIAL AIRCRAFT
Commercial Aircraft 52
Revenue for the Industry grew at a rate of 2.3% to USD 681 billion in 2011 from USD 666 billion in 2010. An
increase in commercial aircraft delivery volume likely drove this performance and helped both Boeing and EADS to
achieve significant revenue growth as compared to 2010. Higher delivery volumes also generally benefitted the Tier
one and two suppliers and aerostructure subsectors, which accounted for 15 of the top 20 performers in 2011
revenue growth percentage. Overall, 65% of the companies’ revenue growth exceeded that of the total Industry
average.
Market forecasts of top large commercial aircraft manufacturers describe an expectation of between 26,900 and
33,500 commercial aircraft to be produced over the next 20 years.
Boeing was the overall A&D revenue leader and largest global A&D company, reporting USD 68.7 billion in revenue,
a 7% increase, likely due to higher delivery volume and favorable mix at Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA) and
sales growth in commercial aviation services. EADS increased revenue from €45.8 billion to €49.1 billion, also 7%
(13% when translated into US dollars). EADS reported the largest revenue growth, USD 7.7 billion finishing
narrowly behind Boeing by only USD 407 million.
United Technologies, GE Aviation, and Honeywell Aerospace also reported 7% growth. Companies reporting
double-digit growth include Safran, Goodrich, Precision Castparts, Harris, and Spirit Aerosystems. Triumph Group
reported the largest revenue percentage increase, 124%, on the strength of its acquisition of Vought. Triumph also
made the largest upward movement on the list, advancing 26 spots to 43. Oshkosh defence reported the largest drop
in revenue and profit as a result of lower M-ATV production due to the decreasing tempo of operations in Iraq and
Afghanistan.
Commercial Aircraft 53
Wide body aircraft deliveries are expected to grow faster than other segments.
Boeing was also the industry’s most profitable company, with USD 5.844 billion in operating profit, an increase
of 18%. Thales reported the largest profit percentage increase, 47.1%. Industry operating margin decreased 27
basis points to 8.86%.
The industry’s best operating margin belongs to Transdigm, at 40.4%, down slightly from 43.8% the prior year.

with a value of around USD 200 billion. This comprises demand for 3,495 new aircraft for fleet expansion and 3,380
replacement aircraft. As much as 93% (6,400 planes) of this will be for large regional jets, which have a seating
capacity in the range of 60-120.
Regional Aircraft 58
The medium to long term for business jets should see significant growth, driven by economic growth and adapting
regulations in Asia and the Middle East, particularly in China.
The U.S. usually has been the largest market for regional jet deliveries. North America, with an expected 35% share
in new deliveries, holds on to its dominant position. But Europe/Russia with 28% share and China with 14% are
expected to be the next big markets in terms of deliveries of regional jets, even though their combined market
share will be less than that for North America.

The business jets segment includes also players such as Cessna, Dassault, Gulfstream and Hawker-Beech. Total
shipment in value terms is expected to almost double to USD 254 billion by 2019 as compared to USD 127 billion
during 2009. Geographically, North America and Europe are expected to drive demand with North America
predicted to account for 42% of the total shipments during 2010-2019 followed by Europe with 24%.
Furthermore, China and India are expected to drive demand with anticipated requirements for 600 and 325
business jets, respectively, over the same period (2010-2019).

ROTORCRAFT
Rotorcraft 62
Helicopters play a very important role not only in transportation, but also in construction, fire fighting, search and
rescue, and military applications. The recession also dealt a blow to the helicopters segment with segmental growth
falling to 7% during 2008 and to 5.7% in 2009, respectively. Helicopters, as a segment, had clocked double-digit
growth during 2007.
The major players in the helicopter market are Eurocopter, Agusta Westland (AGW), Bell Helicopter, Sikorsky,
McDonnell Douglas Helicopter Systems (MDHI), and Boeing Rotorcraft systems. In the civil helicopter market,
Europe is the global leader with players such as Eurocopter and Agusta Westland. Eurocopter is the largest
European manufacturer of helicopters and a world market leader in the civil category of the sector. Across the
world, there are more than 10,000 Eurocopter helicopters operating for about 2,800 customers.
According to estimates by research firm Frost & Sullivan, the civil helicopter segment is expected to expand from
24,625 units in 2009 to 36,946 units by 2015. It is also foreseen that up to 22% of new helicopters will be sold over
the next five years to customers based out of Asia Pacific, Africa and the Middle East.

World military expenditure did not increase in 2011, for the first time since 1998. The world total for 2011 is
estimated to have been USD 1,738 billion, representing 2.5% of global gross domestic product or USD 249 for
each person. Compared with the total in 2010, military spending remained virtually unchanged in real terms.
The main cause of the halt in military spending growth was the economic policies adopted in most Western
countries in the aftermath of the global financial and economic crisis that started in 2008. These policies
prioritized the swift reduction of budget deficits that increased sharply following the crisis.

The Global defence spending is expected to decline in 2012 mostly as a result of reductions in the U.S., where
spending is likely to fall due to the withdrawal of US forces from Iraq and the draw-down in Afghanistan.
Furthermore austerity measures in United Kingdom (UK), and the rest of Europe are likely to mean continuing
falls there in the next 2 to 3 years.
On the other hand, spending in China, India, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Japan, and Brazil are
expected to continue to increase.

Space Market 72
The global space industry showed very strong growth in 2011, increasing more than 12% from 2010.
Commercial space revenue and government budgets reached a record total of $289.77 billion in 2011. This
follows a trend of continuing expansion in the global space economy, demonstrating a five-year growth rate of
41% from $205.04 billion in 2006, with the largest growth registered in commercial infrastructure and support
industries.
Much of the space economy’s continuing growth is driven by commercial space products and services, along
with infrastructure investment necessary to deliver those services. Commercial space products and services,
including telecommunications, Earth observation, and positioning services, remain the largest source of revenue
in the space economy, growing to $110.53 billion in 2011, a 9% increase from $101.73 billion in 2010.
Commercial infrastructure and support industries, including spacecraft manufacturing, in-space platforms,
ground equipment, launch services, independent research and development, and insurance premiums, showed
the strongest percentage growth of any space sector in 2011. Commercial infrastructure and support industries
revenues totaled $106.46 billion in 2011, a 22% increase from $87.61 billion in 2010. This growth was driven
primarily by sales of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) receivers. Commercial space transportation
services revenues are estimated to total $0.01 billion in 2011, the same as in 2010.
Space Market 73
The space economy’s strength was evident as commercial infrastructure and support industries grew at an
impressive rate of 22% in 2011, reaching a total of $106.46 billion. The vast majority of the nearly $19 billion
increase is attributable to growth in ground stations and equipment, including personal navigation devices and
chipsets, which added more than $18 billion in value during the year.
Commercial space products and services remain the largest part of the space economy, growing to $110.53
billion in 2011, 9% more than 2010. Most of the nearly $9 billion increase occurred in the direct-to-home
(DTH) broadcasting sector, which added more than $7 billion in value.
The commercial space transportation services sector, consisting of companies such as Space Adventures and
Virgin Galactic, remained relatively static in terms of revenue because no commercial human spaceflights
occurred in 2011, although companies continued to collect deposits for future flights. A number of flight tests
are scheduled to occur in 2012, indicating the possibility of growth in the near future as new services begin to
carry passengers into space. Global Space Activity (Billion), 2011

Globally, government spending on space increased from 2010 to 2011. Government investment in space
worldwide increased by approximately 6% from 2010, bringing government spending to $72.77 billion in 2011.
Government spending accounted for 25% of the global space economy, a decrease from 27% in 2010. The U.S.
government spent $47.25 billion in 2011, a 0.4% decrease from the $47.44 billion spent in 2010, but it remained
responsible for 65% of global government space spending, other governments appropriate significant amounts.
Non-U.S. government space investment reached $25.52 billion in 2011. For non-U.S. countries such as Brazil,
India, and Russia, reviewed in both 2010 and 2011, government space expenditure grew strongly, with combined
spending increasing by 20% from 2010.
Some space agencies experienced more modest growth, as was the case for the European Space Agency (ESA),
whose budget increased by 7% in spite of the ongoing fiscal problems in some of its member states. Space
agencies in other nations, such as the United States and Japan, operated under flat or diminished budgets.
Most sectors of the space economy experienced growth in 2011, thanks to the efforts of a skilled workforce and
successful business leaders. Combined with the multiyear growth trend in the overall space economy, this
indicates positive prospects for developments in the space industry.

The larger BRIIC grouping which includes Indonesia forms a new nexus of satellite technology transfers to
developing countries, thus contributing to the increase in the number of countries with access to space.
The new landscape of space-faring nations is the result of two parallel trends: the ambition of many countries
around the world to develop independent national space programs, and the globalization of the Aerospace and
Defence industry.
The new landscape of space-faring nations is also in part the result of the globalization of the space industry
that takes place mainly via foreign direct investments and a robust international technology trade, with rising
exports and imports of high-technology products and services.

Foreign direct investment is a particular form of investment, reflecting the establishment of a foreign-
affiliated firm under the management of a parent company. Flows of FDI have expanded rapidly in recent
years aided by the removal of many national barriers to capital movements and measures to enhance
integration within regional markets.
On a global scale, aerospace foreign direct investments already represent important knowledge transfers.
Investments in joint ventures accounted for some 59% of the value chain investments done by 121 major
aerospace manufacturers over the past 20 years, representing some USD 531 billion.

Foreign direct investments are also increasingly international in nature. China and India, as the new
international players are now themselves investing in OECD countries. To close the technology gap with well
established aerospace players, suppliers in China and India have set up partnering arrangements or have made
acquisitions to become more firmly entrenched in the global supply chain.

Despite the economic crisis, the space sector has fared relatively well since 2008. Telecommunications still
represent in early 2011 the main commercial space market, and several satellite operators have broken records in
revenues since the beginning of the economic crisis.
The satellite telecommunications operators have positioned themselves well, benefitting from growing mass
markets (e.g. satellite television broadcasting) and a robust demand from institutional users (i.e. defence, new
customers in the developing world, development of anchor contracts to cover the needs of different
administrations).
Future growth in broadband via satellite and more traditional telecommunications Fixed-Satellite Services (FSS)
are also confirmed by ITU data on satellite network co-ordination request submissions.
This positive situation in telecommunications has impacted the rest of the value chain in the space sector: the
main satellite manufacturers have also experienced a stable market for commercial telecom geostationary
satellites. They received 30 contracts in 2009 and 26 contracts in 2010, with an expected trend of a minimum of
20 contracts until 2015.
The institutional demand for satellites remains relatively strong and geographically diversified, particularly for
military/dual-use satellites, and small earth observation satellites. The total five-year value of satellite production
is estimated at some USD 65.5 billion.

The commercialization trend of space activities is still strong. For example there is a growing geographical diversity
of satellite manufacturers bidding for commercial satellite contracts.

The number of smaller firms at different levels of the space sector’s value chain is increasing. These small and
medium companies play a major role in driving innovation, especially in knowledge-based industries, (e.g. 30 firms in
Finland, 20 firms in Denmark).
In addition to these trends, the growth in space-related entrepreneurial activity in the space industry has been
ongoing, particularly in the United States; there are many companies pursuing the development of new commercial
space operations, vying to transport cargo and passengers in suborbital and/or orbital flights (e.g. Virgin Galactic,
SpaceX, Bigelow, Orbital Sciences, Xcor and Armadillo Aerospace).

The G7 countries still represent the bulk of institutional investments in space with some USD 53 billion in
2009, followed by the very active BRIC countries, with USD 9.6 billion. The total space budget of the 35
countries examined represents conservatively some USD 64.4 billion in 2009, and an estimated USD 65.3
billion in 2010.
A number of countries have reduced their space budgets in 2010 because of budgetary measures (e.g. Greece,
Spain), while others are investing more as part of their innovation and R&D strategies (e.g. France, Germany,
India, the United States). Reduction or more modest increases are however expected in 2011 in most OECD and
non-OECD countries, as the impacts of the economic crisis are reflected in governments’ expenditures.
87
U.S. Industry grew revenue 3.3%, this growth was largely driven by higher commercial aircraft deliveries and a
stronger aftermarket business.
As discussed above, Boeing led all U.S. companies in total revenue and some of that is attributable to the growth in
the commercial aircraft business, while aerostructures company Triumph Group’s revenue increased the fastest at
124.4% driven by a USD 1.6 billion increase in revenue to USD 2.9 billion mainly due to the Vought acquisition in
2010. Another significant performer was GE Aviation, which saw revenue growth of 7.0%, or USD 1.2 billion, to
USD 18.9 billion on higher volume and prices primarily driven by increased services and equipment sales. Northrop
Grumman’s revenue decreased 6.2%, adjusted YoY for its divestitures, mostly due to lower sales volume on space
and manned aircraft programs in its Aerospace Systems segment and lower sales volume in Land and Self
Protection Systems in the Electronic Systems segment.
The U.S. operating earnings grew 2.9%, with reported operating margin declining 0.4%. Yet, this increase was offset
as U.S. companies recorded one-time A&D related company charges of USD 1.9 billion in 2011 versus USD 1.1
billion in 2010. Excluding one-time A&D related company charges, the U.S. Industry’s core operating earnings grew
by 4.6% and core operating margin expanded by 14 bps in 2011. In addition to Boeing and Lockheed Martin
recording the highest operating earnings as discussed earlier, Northrop Grumman’s operating earnings increased by
15.9% or USD 449 million to USD 3.3 billion in 2011, as the company benefitted from higher profits across each
segment as well as a net pension adjustment of USD 400 million.
Finally U.S. companies registered a modest increase in the level of employment of 0.9% to 1,295,533 in 2011.

The U.S. aerospace industry booked a relatively strong performance in 2011, remaining one of the most

At year’s end, annual sales are expected to be up across the board in 2011. Civil and military aircraft, missiles
and the space sector are all expected to top their respective 2010 totals.
Given that the demand for aftermarket products and services is closely tied to upstream market conditions, the
U.S. aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) sector also experienced somewhat of a resurgence in
2011, capturing a significant share of the nearly USD 50 billion global MRO market.

The U.S. military aircraft sector expanded by nearly 6.7% over last year, with sales estimated at USD 66.51 billion.
While 2011 was a strong year for military aircraft, domestic purchases are expected to decline in the coming years
due to federal deficit reduction measures. These measures are likely to become even more significant factors as
much of the U.S. military aircraft fleet nears maximum service-life limits.

Aerospace R&D includes a wide range of activities, from basic scientific research to the development of new
technologies in increasingly diverse fields of study. Federal dollars continue to be a significant contributor to U.S.
aerospace R&D, but in recent years, the federal role has declined relative to industry funding. The three major
federal agencies that support aerospace R&D— Defense, NASA, and FAA—have different priorities and
missions that are reflected in their respective R&D portfolios. Defense’s R&D budget is greater than any other
agency—with a large majority of its R&D funds supporting development projects—and its R&D budgets for air
and space R&D has increased in recent years. NASA’s current prioritization of space exploration has driven R&D
funding priorities, and under current plans NASA will provide more funding for development activities than for
basic and applied research. Likewise, NASA’s projected funding for aeronautics research and science is in slight
decline. FAA, with the smallest R&D budget of the three agencies, focuses funding on the development of the
next generation air transportation system (NGATS), but its R&D funding has also declined.
During federal budget belt-tightening, it is not surprising that the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) and other
national security funding, the largest component of the “discretionary” federal budget, faces significant pressures.
Historically, administration and congressional support has often shielded the defense budgets, especially the DOD
R&D budget, from sizable cuts.
US Industrial R&D 93
This situation has changed as federal funding for DOD R&D is likely to decline for the third consecutive year.
The challenges for federal defense-related funding are likely to continue, and potentially change in structure, if the
automatic sequester budget cuts in the Budget Control Act of 2011 go into effect in 2013. While these dramatic
cuts are seen as unlikely for many reasons, they have initiated considerable examination of spending and priorities,
including within R&D efforts, which will likely exert pressure to reduce funding for the DOD and the defense
industry.
The potential combination of two trends— (1) tightening federal budgets and (2) fairly strong bipartisan support
for federal involvement in basic and early-stage research—may bring about increases in the shares basic and
applied research receive from federal defense-related resources. Discussion and debate go on regarding the need
to both improve and enhance the level of basic research funded by the DOD. Some indications of this shift,
though subtle, may be impacting FY 2012 appropriation efforts. Overall DOD R&D funding is likely to be
reduced by slightly more than 3% from FY 2011 to FY 2012.
US Industrial R&D 94
However, within this reduction, basic and applied research are likely to see a 6.0% to 7.5% increase (depending on
final FY 2011 figures). At nearly $7 billion in FY 2012, DOD-funded basic and applied research will still account
for less than 10% of the total federal defense R&D budget, with the balance funding development-phase activity.
However, the increased budget for research, among the other reductions, may signify changes in the overall
landscape of defense R&D as most basic and applied R&D is performed outside the corporate environment.
This shift in resources, some observers suggest, may reduce overall development costs and improve program
outcomes.

The orders were up for the quarter and year-over-year comparisons in fact for civil aircraft they rose sharply in 2011,
reaching nearly USD 107 billion, a gain of 23%. The amount is far below the recent high of USD 224 billion in 2007,
but is well ahead of the 2009 low of USD 23 billion.
Following two years of significant decreases in sales, U.S. civil helicopter shipments increased to 454 aircraft in 2011,
representing an annual increase of 5.3%. This upward trajectory is expected to continue into 2012 as demand deferred
during the economic downturn reaches the market.

The industry’s robust workforce also points to the vital role played by aerospace in the U.S. economy. Directly and
indirectly, aerospace employs more than two million Americans.
Aerospace employment is likely to register a slight increase in 2011, as the hardest-hit sectors of the industry find
firmer footing. Total year-end employment is expected to be 624,400, up from 624,000. According to a recent study
by the U.S. Department of Commerce, aerospace supports more jobs through exports than any other industry. The
U.S. aerospace industry directly employs about 500,000 workers in scientific and technical jobs across the nation and
supports more than 700,000 additional jobs in related fields.

In the domestic market, mainline carrier capacity expanded slightly (2.2%) in 2011 but now is projected to
contract by 0.8% while capacity for the regional carriers is projected to also decline in FY 2012 (down 0.5%). In
the international sector, capacity is forecast to increase in all markets -- Atlantic, Latin, and Pacific -- resulting in
overall international capacity growth of 2.0%.
Passenger demand shows very little growth in 2012 with system RPMs forecast to grow 0.5% and all of this
increase projected to come from international markets. An upturn is projected in 2013 with system RPMs and
passengers increasing 2.6% and 1.9%, respectively, on a capacity increase of 2.1%.
US Defence Sector 98
U.S. defence budget reductions in the order of USD 487 billion over 10 years have essentially been agreed by U.S.
administration and congressional constituents. A recent challenge of the “super-committee” to agree on deficit-
reduction measures on 23 November, 2011 would, if implemented trigger the automatic “sequester” budget
reduction of an additional USD 500 billion over 10 years, starting in 2013. Taken altogether, that implies a
reduction in force structure, (e.g., soldiers, sailors, airmen, etc.), as well as a reduction in investment accounts (e.g.,
research and development (R&D), new program starts, numbers of units ordered, etc.). Assuming that cuts will
be proportional and that the entire amount is cut, it is estimated that up to 25% of defence and government
contractor budgets are likely to be impacted, all else being equal. The impact on the industrial base is likely to be
significant, given that essentially one out of four people in the defence contractor base within the U.S. would be
potentially impacted and possibly downsized out of the workforce, should the additional USD 500 billion cut take
effect. This could mean that the U.S. defence industry may not be able to afford to keep certain technology
capabilities alive in the industrial base. It might also mean that there may not be enough work to support two or
more companies in certain technologies, thus potentially reducing competition.
The U.S. defence budget associated with contractor spend is still the largest in the world, accounting for
approximately 53.9% of global procurement spend. Even though reductions in the DoD budget are expected to
be in the USD 24 billion to USD 50 billion per year range, the budget will still be five to six times the size of its
nearest peer country.
US Defence Sector 99
These budget reductions are likely to have two main impacts on the global market. First, non-American A&D
companies doing business with the U.S. government will likely still continue to do business there, albeit at a lower
level of participation, all things being equal. However, a “one size fits all” generalization would not adequately
describe the outlook for these companies in 2012. In particular, there may be cutbacks to specific programs that
could disproportionately affect certain European companies due to their program concentration. Additionally, new
program down-selects may occur in 2012 that could significantly strengthen a company’s U.S. presence if they win
new competitions. Secondly, U.S. A&D companies, facing potential revenue shortfalls from their traditional sources
in the DOD, will likely strengthen their marketing and competitive positioning in emerging markets, particularly in
India, Brazil, South Korea, Japan, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. These countries, with their increasing
wealth and growing security concerns, are expected to increase their purchases of sophisticated weapons systems,
where U.S. companies have competitive strengths. Thus, for European A&D companies, there will likely be
increased and intense competition for these foreign military sales opportunities.
Finally, the more strategic impact may potentially be a reduced capacity to address multiple and simultaneous
expeditionary military, humanitarian, or police-action campaigns, although the DoD process for conducting a
strategic defence review may provide a clearer path forward. However, past is prologue and should there be a need,
the U.S. government would likely ramp up its capacity and capabilities to address defence and security requirements
in time of emergency, as they have done in the past, no matter what the budget is.

Large contractors nearly tripled their market value from USD 39 billion in 2000 to USD 101 billion in 2011, while the
Big 6 more than doubled from USD 20 billion in 2000 to USD 41 billion in 2011; this is down from USD 50 billion in
2009, which is notable because the dollars awarded to other large contractors remained stable during that timeframe.
Medium-sized contractors and small contractors nearly doubled their market values in 2000-2011, from USD 33 billion
to USD 60 billion and from USD 19 billion to USD 39 billion, respectively.
US Defence Sector 105
In terms of market share, Big 6 contractors declined from 22% in 2000 to 21% in 2011 (after reaching a high of
27% in 2006), other large contractors increased from 22% in 2000 to 28% in 2011, medium-sized contractors
dropped from 36% in 2000 to 31 in 2011, and small contractors remained relatively steady at 20-21%.
In the recent years of budget tightening (2009-2011), total defence contract dollars for services awarded to small
contractors decreased by just under USD 3 billion, while those going to medium-sized contractors decreased by USD
6 billion. The total value of contract dollars for defence services awarded to the Big 6 contractors decreased by USD
9 billion, while other large contractors declined by less than half a billion dollars. The relative market share of the
small and medium size categories remained unchanged in 2011 compared to 2009. The big 6 declined from 23% in
2009 to 20% in 2011, while other large contractors increased from 28% in 2009 to 30% in 2011.

US Space Sector 107
Last year was particularly challenging for the U.S. space industry. Developments in 2011 that have directly
impacted the industry included: retirement of the space shuttle, which caused the loss of thousands of
high-tech industry jobs; the near cancellation of the James Webb Space Telescope; and reductions in
NOAA polar orbiting weather satellites and national security space programs. Despite these roadblocks,
there were some bright spots including an agreement on a way forward for an important new NASA
exploration initiative, the Space Launch System, which will develop a new launch system to enable human
exploration beyond Earth orbit. Budget cuts will continue to play havoc in the U.S. space industrial base,
and an anticipated increase in competition from Indian, Chinese and Russian space programs will
exacerbate the situation.
US Space Sector 108
The US Space market accounts for 75% worldwide institutional spending and 95% of worldwide military
spending. The two main government agencies that consume most of the Space Institutional budget are
NASA and Department of Defense (DoD).
The US has been the major Space power over the last five decades and has led the world in terms of space
exploration as well as in the use of space assets for civil and military applications.
The US’s FY 2012 budget includes 10,2 billion for the DoD Space Program to maintain US supremacy in
space (providing communications, navigation, missile warning and environmental monitoring capabilities).
This includes nearly 0,5 billion to develop spacecraft and sensors for the Defense Weather Satellite System
(DWSS).
The budget also supports the Obama Administration’s restructured strategy for the National Polar orbiting
Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) involving three agencies: DoD, Department of
Commerce and NASA.
US Space Sector 109
In the FY 2013 Space budget request continues to pursue satellite block buys to avoid costly production
breaks, preserves the most critical industrial base capabilities, and reduces nonrecurring engineering costs
for the procurement of the Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) and Space Based Infrared
System (SBIRS). The Department will achieve additional efficiencies through a new acquisition strategy for
the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle program; and by restructuring the Joint Space Operations Center
Mission System, next generation GPS satellites and commercial imagery. Additionally, the Department will
restructure the Operationally Responsive Space program in order to provide more responsive and timely
space capabilities to the warfighter. Overall, space funding in FY 2013 is 8,0 billion and totals 40,1 billion
from FY 2013-FY 2017.

In 2011, European A&D companies’ revenue grew 0.8%. EADS contributed 30.0% of total European Industry
revenue in 2011 due to increased aircraft production and orders. In addition to strong revenue growth at
Babcock International, as highlighted earlier, Safran’s revenue increased 5.7%, driven by higher OEM volumes
and improved aftermarket trends in its Aerospace and Security business. Although 68.0% of European A&D
companies generated incremental revenue growth in 2011, cumulative revenue at BAE Systems, Finmeccanica,
and Dassault Aviation decreased by USD 8.3 billion in 2011, muting the region’s growth. Coupled with the
declines of Finmeccanica and BAE Systems mentioned above, Dassault Aviation’s revenue decreased 21.1% due
to a reduction in new aircraft deliveries to 63 from 95 in 2010
European Global A&D Market 115
European companies’ reported an operating earnings decline of 21.6% in 2011, as the impact of non-recurring
A&D related charges was greater in Europe than in the United States, while and the European core operating
earnings fell by 7.1%. The European companies recorded a more pronounced drop in reported operating
earnings and operating margins than their U.S. counterparts in 2011. Collectively, the reported operating earnings
of the European companies decreased 21.6% and the reported operating margin contracted by 133 bps to 4.7%
in 2011. European companies as a whole recorded non-recurring A&D related company charges of USD 3.0
billion in 2011 versus USD 1.1 billion in 2010 primarily associated with Finmeccanica’s 2011 USD 2.1 billion
charge discussed above. Excluding one-time charges, the European Industry’s core operating earnings decreased
by 7.1% and core operating margins contracted 51 bps in 2011. Higher sales in Airbus Commercial and
Eurocopter drove strong operating earnings improvement at EADS. Other companies such as SAAB recorded
improved operating margins partly due to one-time gains in 2011. Thales operating earnings benefitted from
strong improvement across all defence & security divisions as well as the absence of charges discussed earlier.
European companies recorded an overall industry employment increase of 4.6% to 669,984 (+29,437) in 2011.
European Global A&D Market 116
The overall growth of Europe’s A&D sector was mainly driven by civil air transport, military aircraft and
helicopters, aero-engines and landing systems.
In the civil aeronautical sector, the industry maintained a steady pace on the production and delivery fronts,
while new orders peaked up significantly in the large commercial aircraft segment after hitting very low levels in
2009. The situation was less rosy in other civil segments such as general aviation and rotorcraft, which still had to
grapple with a significant downturn in the first half of 2010 (even though the second half saw the start of a
recovery).
Large delivery volumes were recorded in the military aeronautics area, where a strong focus was put on new
programme developments, upgrading and through-life product support.
Europe’s defence sector achieved good results in 2010, as it benefited from a further rise in export opportunities
outside Europe (in particular in the Middle East and Asia). This was especially true for land-related defence
business, where performance was better than in the naval segment.
Meanwhile, activity in the European space industry reached an all-time high last year thanks to the robust health
of European institutional markets. Employment in the sector evolved accordingly and is now back to the peak
reached in the 1990’s with some 33,600 full-time jobs.
European Global A&D Market 117
• A turnover increase of more than 5%, mainly driven by the aerospace sector (especially its military
component).
• A 2% decrease in employment in the aeronautics sector was offset by a 6% increase in employment in the
space industry, which maintained employment levels in the aerospace sector at the same level (half a million
people) as in 2009.
• An increase in total employment of 1.2%, mainly driven by a rise in the defence sector (particularly in the
land sector).
• A relatively stable R&D ratio against turnover.
• A growth in exports outside Europe for the European aeronautical and land defence industries.
• An increase in the operating profit margin across the different ASD sectors (net of organic growth) at 6.8%,

Aerospace and defence industries pursued the expansion of their activities outside Europe in 2010; in fact new
partnership programmes worldwide are:
• AgustaWestland and Tata Sons, an Indian industrial group, signed agreements to create a joint venture in India;
• Russian Helicopters and AgustaWestland set up a joint partnership;
• BAE Systems completed the acquisition of Atlantic Marine Holding Company, a U.S. naval service business;
• BAE Systems established a joint venture with Mahindra & Mahindra Limited, Defence Land Systems India
Private Limited;
• Meggitt Aircraft Braking Systems signed a MoU with Irkut Corporation, to develop the entire digital brake-by-
wire braking system for the Russian company’s new commercial aircraft programme;
• The joint venture ICN, owned by DCNS and its Brazilian partner Odebrecht, started the execution of the
contract signed with the Brazilian Navy for the construction of four submarines and a naval base.

In 2010 Europe’s aeronautical sector (civil and military activities) recorded a turnover of €106.6bn, an
increase of 6.1% on 2009 figures. The appreciation of some European currencies against the euro in 2010
contributed to this increase in Euro denominated turnover.
The airline industry enjoyed a recovery in 2010 after suffering significant loses in 2008 and 2009. Many
airlines recorded above-average passenger and cargo traffic growth as well as a return to profit.
Passenger air travel recovered well after the 2008/9 decline: 2010 saw demand (expressed in Revenue
Passenger Kilometres, RPK) increase by over 8%, with capacity growth (expressed in Available Seat
Kilometres, ASK) accelerating as the year progressed and as airline confidence recovered. Business jet flights
also increased.
Civil aeronautics represents nearly 60% of the European aeronautics industry in terms of turnover.

Between 2004 and 2007, the number of aircraft deliveries for EGAMA members consistently increased each year,
with particularly high growth rates observed in 2005 and 2006 (more than 20%), as well as in 2007 (15%). Since
2008, the year of the financial recession, deliveries have decreased each year, down to a total of 854 in 2010 (which
is still 37% higher than the 2004).

The total commercial value of GA products rose significantly between 2004 and 2008 before it contracted by
6% in 2009. 2010 was marked by a strong recovery resulting essentially from the higher commercial value
generated by fixed-wing segment (+25%).
In terms of commercial value, in 2010 as in 2004, the “fixed-wing” segment contributed for about the same
value as the helicopter segment.

commercial and export customers. Exports also include sales to institutional customers outside Europe, such as
space agencies in established or emerging space powers (178M€). The European institutional market represented
more than half of the final sales of the European space manufacturing industry in 2010. The commercial & export
markets include a wide variety of customers, such as satellite operators, Eutelsat and SES in Europe, Arabsat and
Globalstar outside Europe, which represent €1.6bn worth of sales. They are closely followed by launch service
providers which procure launch systems from industry for a total of 670 M€.

The EC JRC ranks the world’s top 1400 companies by independent investment in R&D. In the aerospace and
defense domain, the 2010 data covers 55 companies: 19 from the U.S., 31 from Europe, and 5 from the rest of the
world.
Aerospace and Defense R&D, 2010
European aerospace and defense companies have a larger presence in the top 1400 IR&D (internal R&D) investors
than the U.S. and the rest of the world combined. In addition, European companies collectively spend more on
IR&D than their peers elsewhere, though U.S. firms on average spend the most per company. These trends hold true
for the entire 2007-2010 period. While total dollars spent is an important input measure, measuring effectiveness and
productivity requires something else. IR&D investment as a share of sales and operating profit provides additional
measures that help shed more light on R&D spending.
Though IR&D as a share of sales declined over the four-year period in all three geographic segments, it began to
rebound in the US and the rest of the world in 2010, while stabilizing in Europe. European aerospace and defense
companies, however, spend a considerably higher percentage of their revenues on IR&D than their U.S. and global
counterparts.
European R&D Investments 147
The ratio of IR&D investment to operating profit is also a useful metric. Operating profit comprises the profit left
over after paying for the costs of production (including R&D expenses), before interest and taxes. For aerospace and
defense companies in the U.S. and the rest of the world the ratio of IR&D spending to operating profit is around
thirty percent, while for European companies it is nearly 100 percent.
But in order to reap the rewards of investments in R&D, those investments must be effectively translated into sales
and profits. In order to analyze this, we divide sales by R&D investment to determine the returns these companies
are getting out of their R&D investments. While R&D productivity increased industry-wide, with $1 in 2007
generating $23 in sales and $25 in 2010, the variation in productivity between geographic segments is stark. One
IR&D dollar invested in 2010 by a European aerospace and defense company resulted in $18 of sales and $1 of
profit, while in the U.S. it generated $33 in sales and $3 of profit, and $48 in sales and $3 of profit in the rest of the
world.
The EC JRC data looks at the broader aerospace and defense sector, which includes many commercial aerospace
companies. By taking a subset of these companies, those that derive the preponderance of their revenues from
defense, we can isolate data on IR&D investment and productivity for the defense industry
Pure Defense R&D, 2010
Within the defense sector, European firms still dominate in terms of company representation and overall IR&D
investment. European companies spend more than twice as much as U.S. firms on IR&D – in overall spending and
as a share of sales – and also slightly outpace the U.S. in IR&D investment per company.
Like in aerospace and defense, IR&D spending in the pure defense sector is down from 2007 levels, and IR&D
productivity is up in both Europe and the U.S. The productivity gap between U.S. and European companies seen in
the aerospace and defense section grows even wider for the pure defense companies. In 2010, $1 spent on IR&D by
a European defense firm returned $20 in sales, while $1 spent by an American company generated $59 in sales.
Nonetheless, European companies may be learning closing the gap. Between 2007 and 2010, European defense
companies saw the greatest improvement in IR&D productivity, a 26 percent increase, while U.S. defense firms
improved by 19 percent. U.S. defense and aerospace companies experienced the lowest improvement rate, with only
an 8 percent rise in IR&D productivity between 2007 and 2010.
In the upcoming era of budget austerity, improving R&D productivity will be paramount. Recent data show that for
IR&D, defense companies have done this better than diversified aerospace and defense companies. Moreover,
Europeans firms improved faster than their U.S. counterparts while maintaining higher overall IR&D investment
levels. Though American companies still have a substantial lead in IR&D productivity, Europeans are beginning to
close the gap.

The worldwide aerospace market is valued at €187.550 million. The aerospace sector in Italy generates about
€6000 million (8.1% of the European market).
The technological capabilities and productive sector remained intact and strong further evidenced by the
commercial success achieved in different countries with advanced products, such as the AW101 helicopters,
AW139, T129, M346 new trainers, the ATR regional aircraft, the aircraft C27J tactical transport, the Falco UAV,
radar RAT31 and Grifo, corvettes and patrol boats, naval artillery, armored vehicles Centaur, the Lince vehicles,
new vehicles average and multi-role armored troop carrier with amphibious capabilities.
For these issues Italy is considerable achievement in a globalized market, competitive and selective as the current.
Italy ‘s aerospace industry is the 4th largest aerospace and defence industry in Europe and the 7th largest
worldwide; representing the biggest high-tech systems manufacturing sector in Italy and employing a workforce
of 50,400 with a decrease respect 2010 when the employees were 52,000 .
In 2011, the sector sales were €13.6 billion respect €13.3 billion registered in previous year, with €7.5 billion of
this coming from exports by the sector.
The aviation industry, while representing only 0.65% of GDP (eg aerospace reaches 1%), contributes on average
to the extent of 8-10% to the national balance of trade surplus and to more than 2% national. to the exports.
Italian A&D Market Overview 151
The Italian aerospace industry represents the largest manufacturing sector in Italy in the field of hightech
integrated systems. The Italian aeronautical industry is a strategic area supported by national and regional
programs and characterized by international collaboration. The key players are Finmeccanica, its subsidiaries, a
wide network of SMEs, research centers and universities. Italy is well integrated in international projects and has
primarily fostered relationships with non-European partners. Infact it stressed that the projection of
manufacturing Italian companies across national boundaries, as large companies with systems capabilities
integrated, Finmeccanica, Fincantieri, IVECO, AVIO acquired subsidiaries in especially in USA, United Kingdom
and Poland, where they operate a total of about 30,000 employees.
The structure of national market is centered around 4 main groups mentioned above, some medium to large
companies with autonomous capabilities, and to about 120 small and medium-sized mainly operating in the
supply chain and technological niches of excellence.
Italian A&D Market Overview 152
The Finmeccanica Group (60 percent owned by the government) has a leading role in the aerospace, defense and
security sectors. The Group holds a 50 percent share in Agusta Westland, the world’s second biggest producer of
civil helicopters, and owns Alenia Aermacchi and the Avio Group. Alenia Aermacchi is a recent merger of Alenia
Aeronautica and its subsidiaries Alenia, Aermacchi and Alenia SIA. Alenia Aermacchi manufactures products for
military and commercial aircraft, turboprops, aero structures, advanced mission systems, unmanned aerial systems
(UAS), parts, subassemblies and is a provider of aircraft maintenance services. It is the world leader in the
production of training aircraft. Avio – founded by Fiat and now owned by Finmeccanica and the British private
equity firm Cinven – is one of the oldest companies operating in the aerospace industry worldwide and a leading
manufacturer of aircraft and naval engines and a leader in space propulsion. Another important player is Piaggio
Aero Industries that designs, develops, constructs and maintains aircraft, engines and aircraft structural
components. Mubadala Development Company and the Tata Group are stakeholders in the company.
Italian Civil Industry Overview 153
The main civil industrial programs and partnerships in which the Italian industry participates include:
• Boeing 787 Dreamliner: Alenia North America and the Boeing Company set up the joint venture “Global
Aeronautica” to produce the 787 Dreamliner, a mid-sized, wide-body, twin-engine jet airliner. Alenia produces
composite fuselage and horizontal stabilizers for the B787. Fuselage parts are integrated in the industrial
complex in Grottaglie prior to shipment to the Boeing assembly facility in Everett, WA.
• EADS Airbus: Alenia Aermacchi is a partner in the European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company N.V.
(EADS). It produces aero structures for the A321 and A340–500/600, and supplies fuselage parts for the
A380. In an equal-share joint venture with EADS, Alenia Aeronautica owns ATR that dominates the regional
turboprop market.
• Superjet 100: In partnership with the Russian company Sukhoi, Alenia has developed an advanced
environmentally-friendly regional jet. Finmeccanica owns 25 percent of Sukhoi's civil division.
• ATR: The EADS and Alenia Aermacchi JV holds four-fifths of its market segment worldwide. ATR will
produce 70 planes in 2012 and 80 in 2013. The turboprop market has gained importance due in part to rising
fuel costs.
U.S. companies remain leaders in terms of the strength of aircraft manufacturers and also in the supply of aircraft
parts. In Europe, more than 70 percent of aircraft related imports originate from the United States, and 30
percent of these imports are parts and components. U.S. exports of civil aircraft, engines and parts to Italy totaled
630 million USD in 2011. U.S. suppliers will continue to benefit from this competitive advantage.
Italian Civil Industry Overview 154
The Italian aerospace industry is characterized by clusters located in close proximity of Alenia Aermacchi and its
subsidiaries. The regions that host these clusters include Piedmont, Lombardy, Lazio, Puglia and Campania. Incentives
are provided by regional policies to support investments. Technological and manufacturing know-how includes: fixed
wing (Alenia), rotating wing (Augusta Westland), propulsion, software, fuselage components, design and assembly of
parts (in aluminum, titanium and composite materials), metallurgy, mechanics, electro-mechanics, electronics,
manufacturing and processing of plastics, rubber and all high-performance materials for complex applications. About
25 percent of the national companies operating in the sector are located in the Campania cluster (29 major companies
plus 130 sub-suppliers). The Piedmont cluster is a production and scientific pole whose focus is technological
innovation. Turin University Polytechnic and other specialized research centers provide design and R&D services. Five
regional players and over 300 SMEs stand out at national and international level, both in civil and military fields.
The tendency during the last several years has been the creation of inter-regional clusters in order to streamline the
supply chain to match activities with the expertise of Italy’s research centers and universities. Inter-regional clusters
have been formed by the Campania and Puglia regions, and by Campania, Puglia and Piedmont.
With its industrial backbone of smaller enterprises, Italian industry has made an effort to support subsystem
integrators who have the necessary financial and management resources. Secondly, Italian industry policy aims to
strengthen its stake in the civil market, particularly since it must lessen the dependency on the defense market that has
been reduced due to budget constraints. The partnership with Sukhoi is an example of Italy’s goal to become an
important player in the civil aviation market. Another trend of Italian aviation companies is the establishment of
production sites in North Africa and global sourcing.
Italian Civil Industry Overview 155
The Alitalia (main carrier) fleet is perhaps the youngest in Europe and comprised of 144 aircraft. A modernization
process began in 2009 with the introduction of the new Airbus A320. In 2012, at least 20 new planes will join and 16
old planes will leave the Alitalia fleet. On the long-haul routes, service is provided by the Boeing 777-200, Boeing 767-
300 Extended-Range version and Airbus A330. On medium-haul routes, service is provided by the Airbus A321, A320
and A319, MD80 and MD82. Service on the regional routes is provided by the Embraer 170, 175, 190 and Bombardier
CRJ900. Alitalia’s low cost carrier Air One plans a fleet of 10 Airbus A320 aircraft by 2012.
Europe holds an extremely strong position in large civil aircraft and in helicopters. The third largest manufacturer is
ATR that continues a conservative approach by relying mainly on turboprop technology versus its larger competitors.
Europe has a considerable market for turboprop aircraft, and Piaggio is another important manufacturer. Its P180
Avanti is the world's fastest turboprop.
Business and General Aviation, the segment with the smallest aircraft, is dominated by U.S. and Other North American
manufacturers. In General Aviation, Europe holds about a third of the relevant market with the 3 firms PiaggioAero
(Italy), Pilatus Aircraft (Switzerland), and SOCATA (France). Business aviation is concentrated in 6 European countries
including Italy which holds about 10% of the market share. The increase in demand for regional and national flights in
Italy has been influenced by the dissatisfaction of many business users with the state-owned railway service.
The general aviation industry has defined roadmaps to reduce aircraft environmental impact by 50%. New lighter,
more aerodynamic planes using satellite-linked avionics will reduce fuel consumption and noise.
Italian Civil Industry Overview 156
The ambitious goals involve materials, power, fuel, “smart wings”, cockpit advances and independent energy sources
for equipment. In October 2011, Alenia Aeronautica announced the 2012-2020 corporate strategy with a 3.9 billion
USD (1.3 billion USD for the civil sector) investment plan for the development of a new regional aircraft and
innovative unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV).
Europe leads in the civil helicopter market with Eurocopter and Agusta Westland. Agusta Westlands’ international
network of collaborations has allowed the Anglo-Italian Group to broaden its product range thus opening up new
markets. The Group has developed a holistic approach from product definition, to the sales process, to aircraft delivery,
training, maintenance and spare parts support. Agusta Westlands develops all avionics resulting in added flexibility and
cost containment. In the engine market, aside from the large OEMs and corresponding joint ventures, there are several
first and second tier suppliers including Avio S.p.A.
Italian Defence Market Overview 157
In regards to European defence and national strategies for the development of alliances or rearrangement of
structured cooperation between countries and major industrial groups, it is important for the Italian defence
industry to focus on the close bilateral open agreement between Italy and Germany, at both ministerial and
industrial association levels. With regards to this, recently rumors talk about the possible merger between
Finmeccanica and Thales able to oppose at the alliance Bae Systems-EADS, that would create an European
industrial giant, capable of competing with the U.S. Boeing and that would cut Finmeccanica off from the big
world powers.
The international framework of reference retains many elements of continuity with previous years, due to
continued high volatility, resulting from numerous regional crises, not least those on the southern shores of the
Mediterranean. Furthermore this framework is not to be considered consolidated due to the nature of changing
situations of cross border tension, exacerbated by a possible interaction with the persisting effects arising from a
global financial crisis. Some areas of particular importance to the nation, both for proximity and geographic
interests, present considerable problems, with particular emphasis the wider Mediterranean area, including the
Balkans, Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, the North Africa, the Horn of Africa, the Near and Middle East and the
Persian Gulf.

Italian Space Market Overview 160
Regarding the Space sector the Agenzia Spaziale Italiana (ASI), Italy’s space agency, managed a budget of
€362.0 million (USD 445.0 million) in 2010, excluding contributions made to ESA. This represents a 9.7%
spending increase by ASI when compared to €330.0 million in 2009. Italy’s contribution to ESA totaled €370.0
million (USD 737.5 million) in 2010, an increase of 0.1% from 2009. Combining, the ASI budget and Italy’s
ESA contribution results in a total expenditure of €732.0 million (USD 899.8 million), representing
approximately 0.16% of Italy’s planned 2010 budget of €458.0 billion (USD 563.0 billion). The total Italian
space budget increased by 4.46% compared to 2009. Space spending has been spared from Italian government-
wide budget cuts in 2010, and future budgets are also expected to remain unaffected. A 2010–2020 Strategic
Vision Plan developed by the Italian government for ASI in 2010 plans for €7.0 billion (USD 8.6 billion) of
Italian space-related spending over the period. Approximately 37% of these funds are to be devoted to science
activities, 33% to Earth observation, and the remainder is to be split equally between launch vehicle
development and Italy’s contribution to the ISS.
In November 2010, the fourth and final satellite in the COSMO-SkyMed constellation of radar Earth
observation satellites was launched. The total cost of the COSMO-SkyMed development program, funded by
both ASI and the Italian Ministry of Defence, is estimated at €1.13 billion (USD 1.39 billion). ASI plans to
issue a €600.0 million (USD 737.5 million) contract in 2011 to procure two new satellites to replace the first two
COSMO-SkyMed spacecraft. The new satellites are expected to launched in 2014 or 2015. Within ESA, Italy
continues to lead the Vega small launch vehicle development program.

Appendix
BRIC Countries 164
The international balance of power has changed significantly in the past two decades. The disintegration of the
Soviet Union, the economic rise of a number of Asian countries and the ever growing transfers of technologies,
facilitated by the rise of the information society, have all contributed to this new international landscape.
In the past few decades, some large economies such as Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC) have acquired a
vital role in the world economy as producers of goods and services, receivers of capital, and as potential
consumer markets. The BRIC economies have been identified as some of the fastest growing countries and the
engines of the global recovery process, which underscores the changed role of these economies.
The emergence of several BRIC countries is also reflected in A&D Industry so it could be interesting to give a
brief description of the market for each of these countries in the following charts.
Brazilian A&D Market 165
The Brazilian A&D industry will continue to thrive over the next few years, driven by GDP and individual income
growth, as well as wealth creation particularly in the middle class. In addition, the expansion of credit and long-
term financing has been powerful drivers of economic growth. Finally, real-dollar exchange rates have stabilized,
resulting in lower foreign exchange credit risk. These drivers have provided a foundation for robust economic
activity and bode well for the A&D market in Brazil. Air travel demand has increased at impressive levels and
nearly tripled in the past decade, as more people can afford to fly for business and leisure. In commercial airlines,
revenue from domestic and international regular flights operated by Brazilian companies has increased from
R$13.8 billion in 2003 to R$21.6 billion in 2010. In defense and security, the Brazilian Air Force budget has
increased from R$4.6 billion to R$8.02 billion, signaling an increased priority for national defense. This is one of
the most significant military investments for the Brazilian government.
In addition to organic market expansion, Brazil’s involvement in the 2014 International Federation of Association
Football World Cup and 2016 Olympic games will increase travel to the country generating additional revenue for
the industry. These mega events are likely to expand the interest in tourism, business, and infrastructure
development. The Brazilian government plans to invest R$5.6 billion to modernize airports in preparation for the
sporting events. Another important factor driving the markets is the high-speed development of biofuels for
aviation. Thus for the next year, industry sector activities in Brazil appear to be increasing.
Russian A&D Market 166
Aerospace is one of the Russia's highest value adding manufacturing sectors, with between 275 and 300 aerospace
companies, including 108 industrial producers, and 111 R&D and design bureaus.
The Russian aerospace industry is one of several key business sectors kept under constant review and scrutiny by
the Russian Government. It is estimated by the Federal Target Programme “The Development of Civil Aviation
Engineering in Russia for 2002-2010 and to 2015” to spend $6.3 billion for the support and development of the
aviation industry as Russia is looking towards the hi-tech sector as a source of its future growth. It has been stated
that Russia expects to become the world’s third largest aircraft manufacturer by 2015.
The Programme prepared by the Industry and Trade Ministry envisages that sales of Russian airplanes are to
account for 10% of the world market, while helicopter sales are to account for 27%-30%. The share of domestic
components are to account for at least 70% of the cost of airplane production by 2020–2025.
The global aerospace industry has been focused on Russia due to the huge growth potential in the Russian market
as manufacturers replace and upgrade equipment and look for modern materials, components, and technologies
for their products.
Russian A&D Market 167
• Aircraft Projects : A number of indigenous aircraft programmes are underway or being planned that present
opportunities for companies with contract research and/or consultancy capabilities - SSJ 100; MS-21; Tu-204
SM.
• Helicopters: Russian Helicopters is the leading Russian full-cycle designer and manufacturer of helicopters for
civilian and defence markets. The holding actively works with international suppliers and seeks new partners in
the following areas: Safety, medical, search and rescue and fire protection equipment for helicopters, Avionics
Navigation and connection systems, Fasteners, External equipment, Tools and materials and Helicopter market
analysis and specialized Mass Media.
With regard to the Space opportunites Russia intends to create a brand new Spaceport – Vostochny. The project
will be implemented in stages, with construction stareted in 2011. In 2015 the first unmanned launch will take
place, and the launch of the space shuttle is planned for 2018. The Vostochny is likely to launch Russia’s first
manned mission to Mars. The construction of Vostochny will require an investment of $11.5bn and it is going to
become Russia’s major spaceport, with most launches to be made from there.
Indian A&D Market 170
India is a nation on the ascent in terms of wealth creation, spending on space, commercial air transportation, and
defense sector. First, the Indian space sector has been experiencing growth with the launch of Chandrayaan-1, the
Indian Remote Sensing series and Indian National Satellite system. The Indian Space Research Organization
(ISRO) is experiencing success with the in-country design and production of spacecraft. ISRO is likely to
establish new facilities and develop a host of technologies for India’s first manned mission scheduled for 2016. A
new project, the Indian Regional Navigational Satellite System, has been developed for improving national
intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities with a launch of the first satellite planned during 2012-
2013. Finally, the Chandrayaan-II mission is expected to launch in 2013, with the objective to collect samples of
lunar soil and conduct in situ chemical and mineralogical studies.
Second, regarding commercial aviation, India is one of the fastest growing aviation markets and is expected to be
the third largest domestic market after the U.S. and China by 2020. The commercial aviation market in India
during that time is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18 percent, and the market
for new passenger aircraft in India is expected to be US$150 billion, with 1,320 new airplanes delivered over the
next 20 years. Traditional mainline as well as low-cost carriers are expected to participate in fleet renewals and
additions to serve growing and new markets.
Indian A&D Market 171
In addition, the flourishing Indian private general aviation and business jet market are expected to grow to 12
percent of the global market, surpassing China and Japan. It is expected to reach to 2,000 units purchased by
2020, up from 650 units delivered by August 2011 year to date. Furthermore, there is an emerging demand for
helicopters and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV).
Finally, increased defense spending is a welcome bright spot in India for global suppliers experiencing downturns
in their home countries. India’s 2012 Defense Procurement Procedure will likely also define offset guidelines with
the introduction of certain standard global practices and provision for foreign exchange risk. The indigenous
Indian defense sector continues to look for favorable support from the Indian Ministry of Defense (MOD) in
terms of expeditious awarding of contracts, providing tax incentives, issuing industrial licenses, increasing foreign
direct investment, and building up the indigenous defense industrial base. Foreign defense contractors will likely
need to continue to work with these indigenous suppliers in order to be successful in India.
Chinese A&D Market 172
China is expected to continue the modernization of the industry, with several development programs underway.
China is the market which holds most allure for aviation companies worldwide, by virtue of its size, fast growth rate
and the fact that it is now gradually opening up to the Western world. Boeing predicts growth in air travel of 7.6 per
cent over the next 20 years, with a need for 5,000 new aircraft by 2030.
In the commercial aircraft industry, the COMAC C-919 single aisle commercial air transport program is well under
development, with first flight scheduled in 2014 and entry into service in 2016. COMAC forecasts 2,000 C-919
aircraft to be produced over the next 20 years, approaching 7 percent market share of the consensus market forecast
for global production. In addition, COMAC is developing the ARJ-21 regional aircraft, which has already undergone
first flight, and is expected to be delivered to airline customers in 2012. Together, these two aircraft launch programs
represent the emergence of an industry that has struggled over time, but now appears to be emerging as a credible
producer of commercial air transportation products. It is expected that the Chinese commercial aircraft industry will
continue to gain attention in 2012, with continued western supplier involvement and partnership creation, as well as
continued technology development.
Chinese A&D Market 173
In the space sector, the Chinese industry continues to advance its space program with the development of a space
station. A plan announced by the Chinese government at the end of 2011 includes the launch of a space lab and
collecting samples from the moon by 2016. It also includes plans for a manned spaceship and space freighters. The
new space plan would include the design, manufacture, and deployment of the Beidou Satellite Navigation system,
China’s version of a global positioning systems (GPS), navigation and timing system, similar to the U.S.-based global
positioning system. Recent achievements made by China’s aerospace industry in 2011, including a successful docking
between the Shenzhou-8 unmanned spacecraft and the Tiangong-1 space lab module. China is also increasing its
defense capitalization, expanding its submarine fleet and developing its first aircraft carrier, purchased from Russia. It
also has a fifth generation stealth fighter, the J-20, under development, which has captured the attention of global
competitors.

Analysis of Results
During 2011 EADS’ revenues increased 7.4% to a new high of € 49.1 billion, driven by record aircraft deliveries at
Airbus and increased commercial activity at Eurocopter.
Airbus Division comprises Airbus Commercial and Airbus Military. Record deliveries lifted consolidated revenues 10%
to € 30.3 billion, from € 27 billion for 2010. The increase was due to higher revenues at Airbus Commercial, partially
offset by a decrease in revenues at Airbus Military.
Airbus Military revenues decreased by 6.7%, from € 2.5 billion for 2010 to € 2.1 billion for 2011. The decrease was
primarily due to € 0.3 billion lower revenue recognition on the A400M programme in 2011, partially offset by an increase
in revenues from tanker activities.
Eurocopter segment’s revenues increased by 12.1%, from € 4.4 billion for 2010 to € 5 billion for 2011, despite an overall
decrease in helicopter deliveries from 527 in 2010 to 503 in 2011. The revenue increase was primarily due to a favourable
mix effect in commercial deliveries and from support activities, as well as additional revenues of € 0.2 billion in 2011
related to the fi rst-time consolidation of Vector Aerospace.
Cassidian revenues decreased by 2.2%, from € 5.7 billion for 2010 to € 5.6 billion for 2011
Astrium segment’s revenues revenues were stable at € 4.9 billion supported by excellent programme execution
EADS NV – Netherlands 193
Analysis of Results
In 2011, the group’s EBIT rose to € 1.5 billion from € 1.1 billion in 2010. This mainly due to good performance in
Airbus’ series programmes, as well as at Eurocopter.
Airbus’s EBIT gained from operational improvement, rising 91% to € 543 million, due primarily to an increase at
Airbus Commercial. Airbus Commercial’s EBIT increased by 86.6%, from € 0.3 billion for 2010 to € 0.5 billion for
2011, mainly due to operational improvements, including higher aircraft deliveries.
Airbus Military’s EBIT increased from € 21 million for 2010 to € 49 million for 2011, primarily due to a favourable
delivery mix, operational improvements and overhead cost reductions.
The EBIT for Eurocopter grew 41.5%, from € 183 million for 2010 to € 259 million for 2011, primarily due to a
favourable mix effect in commercial deliveries and support activities as well as better operational performance. An
increase in research and development expenses was roughly offset by cost savings.
Cassidian’s EBIT decreased by 27.6%, from € 450 million for 2010 to € 312 million for 2011, primarily due to a
significant increase in research and development expenses, a restructuring provision of € 38 million in relation to its
transformation programme and a net negative charge of € 34 million on programmes in 2011.
Astrium’s EBIT fell slightly to € 267 million, weighed down by lower services activity, acquisition expenses and a
restructuring charge.
In 2011, the group recorded a Net Profit of € 1 billion, up near two fold from € 553 million in 2010, thanks to
strong momentum in the commercial aviation market refl ected in new order and delivery records at Airbus.

Financial Highlights
Revenues Breakdown
Revenues fiscal year 2011 - Segments Revenues fiscal year 2011 - Geographic areas
Otis’ revenues grew 7.4% in the year compared with 2010. The organic revenue increase in the year was due to
higher new equipment sales volume in China, Russia and Brazil partially offset by declines in North America
Carrier’s revenues rose € 9.2 billion in 2011, with the recovery in the transport refrigeration market providing the
most significant contribution.
UTC Fire & Security’s revenues grew 6.2% in 2011 to € 5.3 billion, as compared with 2010. The organic revenue was
driven by increased volumes in the products businesses, while the service and install businesses remained flat.
Geographically, the organic growth was driven by stronger volume in the product businesses, partially offset by
declines in the U.K. and U.S. service businesses.
Pratt & Whitney’s revenues reached 10.4 billion in 2011. This growth was driven by growth in the large commercial
engine business (5%), higher spares volume across the business (combined 2%), and higher industrial volume at
Pratt & Whitney Power Systems (1%). These increases were partially offset by lower military engine sales.
Hamilton Sundstrand’s revenues were increased € 4.7 billion in 2011. The organic revenue growth (9%) reflects
higher volumes in both the aerospace (6%) and the industrial (3%) businesses. The increase within aerospace was
driven by higher aftermarket volume (5%), primarily commercial spares. The industrials businesses increase was led
by the compressor business as a result of volume increases in the manufacturing and energy sectors, particularly in
the U.S. and Asia.
Sikorsky’s revenues increased 10% in 2011 to € 5.7 billion, as compared with 2010. The increase in organic sales was
primarily attributable to higher military aircraft sales including higher international development aircraft sales and
favorable military aircraft configuration mix (8% combined), which more than offset a decrease from commercial
operations (2%) due to fewer aircraft deliveries. Net sales from aftermarket support increased (4%) primarily driven
by higher spares volume.
United Technologies Corp – USA 200
Analysis of Results
In 2011, Group’s operating profits grew by 10.6 % to € 6.2 billion, compared to 2010.
Otis’ EBIT grew 9.3% in 2011 compared with 2010. The operational profit improvement in the period was due to
higher new equipment volume, increases in contractual maintenance and repair services.
Carrier’s EBIT was up 43.1% in 2011 compared with 2010, the improvement was driven by strong conversion on
organic sales growth, particularly in the higher margin transport refrigeration business, lower bad debt expense, and
earnings improvement in Carrier’s joint venture in Japan
UTC Fire & Security’s operating profits fell to € 534 million in 2011 from € 551 million in 2010. The decline (3.1%)
reflects lower margins on projects and unfavorable sales mix, led by the U.K. on lower sales and productivity.
Pratt & Whitney’s EBIT showed slight growth of 0.6% in 2011 compared to 2010, mainly due to higher year-over-year
research and development costs, unfavorable commercial engine business mix and fewer military engine business
deliveries, partially offset by higher commercial spares volume. Additionally, gains recorded on contract settlements
and contract close-outs were offset, in part, by losses incurred as a result of increased airline industry exposures during
the year.
Hamilton Sundstrand’s EBIT increased to € 835 million (+17.9%) in 2011, as compared with 2010. The increase in
operational profit reflects an increase in both the aerospace (7%) and the industrial (5%) businesses. The growth
within aerospace reflects higher commercial spares volume, including a reduction in military ground vehicle volumes
and an increase in volume of lower margin commercial programs. The increase within the industrial businesses reflect
the benefit of higher volume and cost reduction initiatives.
Sikorsky’s EBIT increased 17.3% in 2010 versus the prior year. The operational profit improvement was primarily
attributable to an increase in aftermarket support (10%) driven by higher spares volume.
In 2011, Group’s Net Profit grew 13.9% to € 3.8 billion compared to previous FY.

Analysis of Results
General Dynamics, during 2011 generated consolidated revenues of € 25.2 billion, a 0.6% increase compared to the
previous fiscal year.
The Aerospace segment was the company’s growth engine in 2011. The group’s revenues were € 4.6 billion, up
13%from 2010. This revenue growth was driven by initial G650 deliveries and robust demand for aircraft services across
our global network propelled.
Combat Systems group’s net sales decreased in 2011 by 0.6% compared to 2010. This represents a modest decline in
sales from last year, the result of lower U.S. vehicle volume. International light armored vehicle (LAV) upgrades and
axles for military and commercial manufacturers helped to mitigate the U.S. vehicle decline.
Marine Systems’ revenues - 3.4% in 2011 due to lower volume on tactical communications programs. This lower volume
was primarily the result of sluggish award activity caused by U.S. defense budget delays and prolonged customer
acquisition cycles.
The Information Systems and Technology group’s revenues decreased by 3.4% in 2011 compared with 2010. This
decrease was principally due to the fact that the revenues in the tactical communication systems business were impacted
unfavorably by recent continuing resolutions and a protracted customer acquisition cycle that slowed orders

Analysis of Results
In 2011, Raytheon’s revenues were € 19.2 billion, a 1.3% decrease compared to € 19.4 billion for FY 2010.
Integrated Defense Systems experienced a decrease in sales for 2011 of 9.4%. The decrease in net sales of $512
million in 2011 compared to 2010 was primarily due to $316 million of lower net sales from the scheduled
completion of certain design and production phases on a U.S. Navy combat systems program and the deferment of
certain work due to the U.S.
In 2011, Intelligence & Information Systems reported a 9.4% growth in revenues. The increase in net sales of $258
million in 2011 compared to 2010 was primarily due to the difference in net sales from the UK Border Agency
Program.
In 2011, Missile Systems decreased its revenues by 2.5%, primarily due to lower net sales of $210 million on the
Standard Missile-2 (SM-2) program, $90 million on the Evolved Seasparrow Missile (ESSM) program, and $70 million
on the Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) program, principally from lower volume driven by scheduled lower production build
rates. The decrease in net sales was partially offset by higher net sales of $92 million on the Small Diameter Bomb II
(SDB II) program and $86 million on the Paveway™ program, principally from higher volume due to scheduled
increases in design and production efforts.
In 2011, Network Centric Systems reported a 8.6% decline that was primarily due to lower net sales on U.S. Army
sensor programs due to a planned decline in production, on a combat vehicle sensor program, on a U.S. Army radar
support program, principally due to the completion of significant upgrade efforts,
In 2011, Space & Airborne Systems revenues increased by 8.8%, primarily due was primarily due to $200 million of
higher net sales related to RAST
In 2011, Technical Services generated a 3.4% decrease in revenues due to lower net sales on a DTRA program.

principally driven by the UKBA Program Adjustment in 2010, which had an impact of $395 million.
In 2011, Missile Systems recorded an 6% growth in EBIT, primarily due to the activity on the SM-2, ESSM and SM-3
programs for the change in net sales.
In 2011, Network Centric Systems’ EBIT decreased by 5% primarily due to decreased volume, which had an impact
of $59 million, principally driven by the programs discussed in net sales.
In 2011, Space and Airborne Systems recorded a 4.5% growth in EBIT primarily due to increased volume
The EBIT of the Technical Services segment increased by 4% primarily due to a change in contract mix and other
performance of $13 million, primarily driven by cost efficiencies and higher award fees associated with various
training programs, which had an impact of $8 million. Operating income also increased due to a net change in EAC
adjustments of $11 million, primarily driven by cost efficiencies on a weapon production and modification program,
which had a $7 million impact on operating income.

Revenues Breakdown
Analysis of Results
During 2011 consolidated revenues decreased by 7.4%, from € 18.7 billion to € 17.3 billion.
Helicopters’ revenues increased 7.4% over December 31, 2010; in attributable to the different mix of revenues, with
certain product lines in the helicopter segment remaining in line with the figures reported a year earlier, while there was
excellent performance reported in product support (up 18.5%).
Defence Electronics and Security revenues decreased by 15.4% compared to 2010. This due to the decline in activity
across all segments, mainly the decrease in the DRS production volumes as a result of the completion of important
programmes for the US military. The revenues for the period also reflected the loss of the contribution of important
orders that were being carried out for or were in the process of being received from Libya.
The Aeronautics division reported revenue drop of 5% in 2011 due to less activity on the EFA programme and lower
revenues on the B787 programme, partially offset by expansion in production on the ATR, M346 and JSF programmes.
Space segment’s revenues increased in 2011, growing 8.2% versus 2010 to € 1 billion. The growth was due largely to
higher production in both the manufacturing and satellite services segments.
Defence Systems revenues increased slightly in 2011 at € 1.22 billion(+1.1%) . The essentially in line with the figure
reported at 31 December 2010 (€mil. 1,210). Increased activities in the land, sea and air weapons systems segment have
largely offset the decline in revenues in the underwater systems segment.
The Energy, Transportation and Other segment reported sales of € 3.16 billion in 2011, down from 2010 (-12.6%). This
was mainly attributable to lower production volumes in the services segment, particularly on the solutions (changing
parts of the turbine) and repair (spare parts) sides.
Finmeccanica S.p.A. – Italy 254
Analysis of Results
In 2011 Group’s EBITA was recorded a loss € 1.5 billion, a 114% decline in comparison to the previous FY.
Helicopters’ EBITA increased 1% in 2011. This improvement is correlated with the different revenue mix mentioned
in revenue.
The EBITA of the Defence Electronics and Security reached € 303 million in 2011, down from the figure reported at
in 2010 (€mil. 735), as a result of the significant deterioration reported in the major integrated defence and security
systems and command and control systems (SELEX Sistemi Integrati) segments that, in addition to reflecting the
decline in revenues and the different composition of: activities performed (penalised in part by the lack of new orders
and the consequences of the conflict in Libya); lower profits in certain business areas in the information technology
and security segment; the decline in revenues of DRS; lower production volumes; decreased activity in value-added
services for security applications.
The EBITA in the Aeronautics segment decreased to a negative € 903 million due to “exceptional” costs connected
with the B787 programme, which was marked by new events that altered the existing scenario and due to negative
operating performance caused by reduced industrial efficiency in certain production processes, higher costs required
to complete several orders, mainly in the A380, Falcon ATR, G222 and ATR (special versions) programmes and the
different mix or programme activities.
Space segment’s EBITA fell to € 18 million from € 39 million in 2010 due solely to the satellite services segment.
Defence Systems’ EBITA reached € 117 million in 2010 from € 107 million in 2010 as result of higher production
volumes in the land, sea and air weapons systems segment and increased deliveries on orders in the missile systems
segment
The Energy, Transportation and Other segment reported a decrease in EBITA to a negative value, € 168 million in
2011 versus € 90 million in 2010. This mainly due to lower revenues and the impact of the lower profitability of
certain orders in the plant engineering, service and nuclear segments as a result of a different production mix, and
regarding to Transportation segment was mainly attributable to vehicles segment.
In fiscal year 2011 Group’s Net Income showed a loss to € 2.3 billion, a 575% decline.

Thales Sa – France 272
Analysis of Results
Revenues amounted to €13 billion at 31 December 2011, a level almost unchanged from 2010 (€13.1 billion), taking
into account a negative foreign exchange impact (-€52million) primarily reflecting the conversion into euros of the
revenues from the subsidiaries located outside the euro zone. This negative exchange variation was due primarily to the
depreciation of the American dollar (-€61m) and the pound sterling (-€30m) against the euro, partially offset by the
increase in the Australian dollar (+€44m).
In the Aerospace & Transport sector, revenues reached €5.7 billion an increase of +3% over 2010. Revenues from
Avionics rose sharply, driven by the increase in the Airbus business (cockpit and cabin equipment, support) and by the
first deliveries for the regional aircraft certified during the year (ATR 600, SSJ). Revenues for tubes and imaging sub-
systems were almost stable during the year. Revenues from Space improved, particularly in the observation segment
(CSO, Meteosat), but also driven by the ramp-up of the Iridium NEXT project. In contrast, Transport Systems
revenues were down versus 2010, mainly due to less revenue from main lines activities in Saudi Arabia and Europe, as
well as from the London Underground.
Revenues of the Defence & Security sector dipped only moderately to €7.2 billion compared with €7.5 billion at 31
December 2010 (-3%). Revenues generated by Defence Mission Systems decreased slightly, as lower activity on several
export naval programmes was only partially offset by an increase in sonar activities. The reduction in C4I Systems
revenues was sharper, particularly in radio-communications and security systems. The Land Defence activities, in
contrast, posted stable revenues (armaments contracts for France and Australia), as did Air Operations (a slight
increase in military systems making up for a less favourable trend in air traffic control).
Thales Sa – France 273
Analysis of Results
EBIT improved strongly and totalled €839 million, or 5.7% of revenues (versus a loss of -€43 million in
2010). This improvement in EBIT reflects the positive impact of the Probasis performance plan, led by
improved project execution.
The Defence & Security sector significantly improved its EBIT, which amounted to €504 million and
represented 6.9% of revenues, despite higher restructuring costs (€97million versus €71m). This strong
improvement can be seen in all divisions making up this sector. C4I Systems recorded strong growth in their
results, thanks to improved project execution and a reduction in general and sales expenses, which offset an
unfavourable volume effect. Results for Defence Mission Systems also improved, based on the savings
generated by the Probasis plan and the absence of negative variances on the Meltem contract, which had
severely weighed on results in 2010. The growth in results from the Land Defence activities was driven
primarily by the increase in the armaments business and lower development costs. Finally, and despite the
development costs remaining high because of the renewal of the radar product range, results from Air
Operations also improved, thanks to better results from the air traffic control business, the profitability of
which had been affected by the difficulties of the Lorads III project in 2010.
EBIT for the Aerospace & Transport sector amounted to €294 million (5.2% of revenues), compared with a
loss of -€221 million in 2010. This favourable change was essentially driven by the improvement in results of
the Avionics business. This activity benefited both from the very sharp reduction in negative variances, which
had impacted the 2010 results (A400M, developments), the positive impact of higher volumes in civil aviation,
and the positive effect of the agreement signed with Airbus for the A400M project. Despite lower revenues,
the Transportation Systems business also posted a significant increase in results because of lower variances on
projects (ticketing). Finally, the Space activities recorded almost stable results.
In fiscal year 2011, Net Income totaled € 512 million, compared to negative result of € 108 million from the
previous FY.

Analysis of Results
Safran Group’s consolidated revenues, for the year 2011, reached € 11.6 billion, showing a 5.7% increase compared to €
11 billion in the previous fiscal year.
Revenue for the Aerospace Propulsion business came in at €6.1 billion in 2011, up 9% (5.8% like-for-like) on 2010.
Revenue growth reflects the ramp-up of service activities for CFM engines, high-thrust civil engines and helicopter
turbine engines, along with the rise in original equipment deliveries.
The Aircraft Equipment segment reported revenue totaling €3.1 billion in 2011, up 9.3%, or 8.7% like-for-like, on 2010.
Revenue gains were powered mainly by double-digit growth in nacelles, wheels and brakes, original equipment and
services.
Revenue for the Defence business came in at €1.3 billion in 2011, up 1.9%, or 2.7% like-for-like, compared to 2010. The
advance was mainly driven by double-digit revenue growth in the optronics business buoyed by a robust order backlog
(Felin integrated equipment suites for the French Armed Forces, long-range infrared goggles for export markets).
The Security business delivered a 20% increase in revenue year on year, at €1.2 billion. Like-for-like, revenue advanced
9.6%, spurred by a bullish year for e-documents, particularly in the banking and telecommunications sectors in Latin
America, and by a robust performance from the identity systems business in emerging countries.
Safran Sa – France 280
Analysis of Results
Group’s consolidated EBIT fell 2.3% to €929 million in 2011 from €951 million in 2010.
The EBIT of the Aerospace Propulsion showed a 40.4% increase. This improvement results from upbeat activity in
the civil aviation aftermarket and the ramp-up of recent Support-By-The-Hour maintenance contracts for helicopter
engines, as well as from increased unit revenue on CFM56 engines Performance was also driven by the Safran+ cost-
cutting program despite higher R&D costs, chiefly for Leap engines. Currency hedging had a positive impact on
profitability.
Aircraft Equipment reported a strong increase in EBIT for 2011 to € 202 million. This strong advance was driven by
the expected upturn in the nacelles business, which reported a profit for the first time in many years, and by a
favorable product mix and volume effect for harnesses and landing systems.
Defence EBIT also showed a decline, totaling € 51 million in 2011. The improvement in 2011 was powered by the
optronics business that performed well, aided by the favorable product mix and volume effect.

Analysis of Results
In 2011, consolidated net sales decreased compared to 2010 at € 11.7 billion.
C3ISR net sales for the year ended December 31, 2011 increased by 7%, compared to the year ended December 31,
2010. This increase was primarily due to increased volume and new business for networked communication systems for
manned and unmanned platforms, airborne ISR logistics support and fleet management services to the DoD, and
international airborne ISR platforms. These increases were partially offset primarily by lower sales for airborne ISR
platforms to the DoD and force protection products to foreign ministries of defense.
Government Services net sales for the year ended December 31, 2011 decreased by 8%, compared to the year ended
December 31, 2010. The decrease in sales was due to: (1) $124 million primarily related to the loss of the Afghanistan
MoD support contract and the FAA IT support services contract, (2) $118 million in lower linguist services, training,
intelligence support, and logistics support services for the U.S. Army due to the drawdown of U.S. military forces from
Iraq, (3) $75 million in reduced SSES pass-through volume, (4) $51 million of lower sales related to the SBInet program
for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and an international maritime security enhancement program, and (5)
$42 million for IT support services for the U.S.
AM&M net sales for the year ended December 31, 2011 decreased by 12%, compared to the year ended December 31,
2010. The decrease was primarily the result of $332 million from the SOFSA contract loss, $75 million from lower JCA
volume, and $35 million due to lower sales for MHP, partially offset by increased CLS services for U.S. Army C-12
aircraft.
Electronic Systems net sales for the year ended December 31, 2011 decreased by 2%, compared to the year ended
December 31, 2010, reflecting lower sales of: (1) $376 million due to declining DoD demand for night vision products,
combat propulsion systems, mobile satellite communication systems and simulation & training devices, (2) $40 million
due to lower manufacturing yields for power devices for satellite communications systems, and (3) $9 million from the
sale of a general aviation product technology license in the 2010 fourth quarter that did not recur in the 2011 fourth
quarter.

Analysis of Results
Group net sales for the 2011 were € 5.1 billion, decreasing by 2.2% compared the previous fiscal year.
Ingalls revenues decreased by 5%, compared to 2010. The decrease was primarily driven by lower revenues in
Surface Combatants, partially offset by higher revenues in Amphibious Assault Ships programs and the NSC
program.
Newport News revenues remained stable to € 2.9 billion in 2011. Lower revenues in Aircraft Carriers and Fleet
Support were offset by higher revenues in Submarines
In 2011, Group EBIT was € 309 million, rising 61.3% from the previous fiscal year.
Ingalls operating loss was € 170 million compared to a loss of € 47 million in 2010. The higher loss was primarily the
result of the 2011 goodwill impairment charge previously described, partially offset by the 2010 $113 million pre-tax
charge resulting from our decision to wind down shipbuilding operations at our Avondale facility and the charges
and adjustments recorded in the third quarter of 2010
Newport News operating income was € 264 million compared to € 274million in 2010. The decrease was primarily
due to higher revenues on lower margin programs and risk retirement on the CVN-70 USS Carl Vinson and the
CVN-77 USS George H.W. Bush that occurred in 2010, partially offset by risk retirement on the SSN-774 Virginia-
class submarine program in 2011.

Analysis of Results
During the 2011 fiscal year (year end September 30, 2011), consolidated revenues rose 3.8%, from € 3.6 billion in
2010 to € 3.7 billion at year end 2011.
Government Systems’ sales decreased 1.7%, due to the net reduction in satellite communication program revenues,
driven by the combined impact of a recently completed upgrade program and the adverse impact of delayed funding
authorizations from the U.S. Government and due to decrease of Surface Solutions and Navigation Products sales.
Commercial Systems’ sales increased by 12.6%. This growth was due to an increase in total air transport aviation
electronics and total business and regional aviation electronics sales
Group’s EBIT grew 5.5% to € 653 million in 2011 compared to 2010.
Government Systems’ EBIT fell 2.3%, primarily attributable to reduction in sales volume.
Commercial Systems’ EBIT grew 32.8% in 2011. This was primarily due to the incremental earnings from higher
sales and the favorable impact of the adjustment to customer incentive reserves, partially offset by higher SG&A and
company-funded R&D expenses.
Group’s Net Income, for fiscal year 2011, was of € 489 million, showing a 13% increase compared to the previous
fiscal year.

Analysis of Results
During fiscal year 2011, ATK total revenues decreased by 0.7%, to € 3.7 billion
Aerospace Systems segment sales decreased by 11.7% from € 1.2 billion in 2010 to € 1.1 billion in 2011 as a result of
a decrease in space launch systems resulting from the wind-down of the Space Shuttle Program, a decrease within
strategic and commercial rocket motors driven by lower volume and a decrease resulting from the termination of a
space mission systems program.
Sales in the Armament Systems segment showed an increase of 8.6%, from € 1.3 billion in 2010 to € 1.4 billion in
2011, driven primarily by an increase in small-caliber systems due to continued strong customer requirements for
small-caliber ammunition, non-standard ammunition and weapon sales, and facility modernization project sales.
Missile Products sales decreased 11.4% from € 587 million in 2010 to € 520 million in 2011, due in large part to a
decrease within propulsion and controls primarily related to decreased scope and funding on the NASA Constellation
Attitude Control Motor and Standard Missile-3 programs.
The company’s Security & Sporting division accounted for sales of € 717 million in 2011, up 22% from € 588 million
as a result of an increase in accessories driven by the acquisition of Blackhawk in April 2010 and an increase in
ammunition sales volume.

Analysis of Results
In 2011, the group’s EBIT fell to € 406 million, a decline of 4.5% in comparison to 2010.
Aerospace Systems operating income for 2011 declined 10.2% to € 101 million compared to € 113 million in the prior
year. The decrease was primarily the result of lower sales volume.

in the prior year. The increase primarily relates to higher overall sales and improved operating efficiencies.
Missile Products operating income for 2011 was € 53 million compared to € 45 million in the prior year. The increase
was primarily driven by the lack of the $13.4 million non-cash trade name impairment charge taken in fiscal 2010 and
improved margins in tactical rocket motors.
Security and Sporting EBIT totaled € 99 million, up 19% in 2011 from € 83 million in the prior year. The increase

Analysis of Results
In fiscal year 2011, CAE’s total revenues increased by 6.8%, to € 1.2 billion.
Training & Service revenues increased by 10.7%. The increase over last quarter was mainly attributable to higher
revenue generated in North and South America and to a lesser extent in Europe
Simulation Products revenues recorded a 3.5% growth. The increase in revenue over last year was mainly due to
strong performance in the Military portion of the business, which saw higher volume on programs executed in
Canada, Germany and the U.S., partially offset by an unfavorable foreign exchange impact.
Group’s EBIT, in 2011, reached € 213 million, increasing by 7% compared to the previous fiscal year.
Training & Service EBIT increased by 6%. Segment operating income increased mainly due to higher volume in the
Europe and the Americas.
Simulation Products EBIT fell by 9% in comparison to 2010. The decrease was primarily due to an unfavorable
foreign exchange impact, a lower utilization of funds from research and development cost-sharing programs and a
decline in project margins, resulting from more challenging market conditions in fiscal 2011 than in fiscal 2010.
Group’s Net Income, for fiscal year 2011, reached € 121 million, showing a 10.9% increase compared to previous
FY.

Analysis of Results
In 2011, Group’s revenues increased by 30.6%, to € 556 million from € 425 million. The increase was due in large
part to a 132.6% increase in revenues from the Space Systems + Security segment. Moreover, the full-year inclusion
of Carlo Gavazzi Space SpA, consolidated for the first time in October 2009, had a positive effect on the result.
The previous business units “Space Systems + Security”, “Payloads + Science” and “Space International” have been
integrated within the new business unit “Space Systems”, focused on developing and executing space projects. The
division’s revenues were € 363 million particularly due to progress made in the satellite programs.
The previous business units “Space Transportation + Aerospace Structures” and “Telematics + Satellite
Operations” have been merged within the new business unit “Aerospace + Industrial Products ”, responsible for
fabricating aviation/aerospace products as well as telematics. The division’s revenues were € 201 million, up 27%,
due to the first-time consolidation of Aerotech Peissenberg.
The EBIT reported by Aerospace+Industrial segment was € 2 million. This reduction was chiefly due to the first-
time consolidation of Aerotech Peissenberg.
In 2011, the group’s Net Income was € 14 million, up 40.3% from € 10 million in the previous fiscal year.

Analysis of Results
During 2011, Magellan Aerospace revenues decreased by 5.5% to a record € 522 million as compared to net sales
of € 553 million in fiscal 2010. The decrease in revenues from 2010 was mainly due to lower revenues earned on
the Corporation’s power generation project
Aerospace segment’s revenue decreased by 3%. The revenues were primarily impacted by the movement in the
Canadian dollar, against the US dollar and British Pound
Power Generation segment’s revenues showed a decline of 22%. Revenues earned in 2011 and in 2010 resulted
from the Ghana electric power generation project. The Corporation recognized revenue on this project on a
percentage of completion basis, hence the decrease in revenue over the prior year represented the Corporation’s
progress made towards completion of the project during the year.
EBIT in fiscal 2011 decreased by 6.9% to a record € 45 million as compared to operating income of € 48 million.
For the Aerospace Segment the decrease was of 3.5% while the Power Generation’s EBIT decreased by 29%.

Analysis of Results
In fiscal year 2011, Heroux Devtek total revenues rose by 11.6%, from € 242 million to € 270 million. Excluding the
$45.0 million (€ 34.7 million) sales of Eagle and E2 since the acquisition, consolidated sales were down by $7.8
million (€6 million) or 2.4%. The impact of the Canadian dollar, against the US currency, reduced consolidated sales
by $11.7 million or 3.7% compared to last year. This impact was reduced by higher sales in the Industrial segment..
In 2011, Aerospace sales, excluding the acquisition of Eagle and E2 whose sales are included in the Aerospace
segment, declined $10.9 million (€ 8.4 million) or 3.7% mainly as a result of the negative US/CAD currency impact
of $9.8 million (€ 7.6 million) or 3.3% compared to last year. Including acquisitions revenues in the segment were up
11.2%.
In 2011, Industrial sales, despite a lower exchange rate, increase 11.8% compared to last year due to increased heavy
equipment product sales.
Group’s EBIT, for fiscal 2011, was € 25 million, improved by 19.4% compared to fiscal year 2010.

Group’s EBIT, in fiscal 2011, increased to € 14 million, an improvement of 11.2% in comparison to the previous
fiscal year.
Structured Materials segment EBIT increased by 36% in 2011 due to operational gearing in the manufacturing
businesses which more than offset the effects of additional distribution revenues which attract lower margins.
Process Materials EBIT was flat, despite increased revenues, due to delays in raw material price rises being passed
on to customers, primarily during the first half of the year.

Analysis of Results
Groups revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 was € 237 million, as compared to € 203 million for 2011,
representing an increase of 16.8%.
Composites & Transparencies segment revenue increased 30%, to € 189 million for the 2011 fiscal year, driven largely
by activity under the Group’s largest ever tooling contract, which was awarded in September 2010 with a value at
inception of USD 53 million, together with increasing activity on the F-35 programme covering both tooling and high
temperature composite engine components..
Aerospace & Components segment revenue fell 16%, to € 48 million for 2011, due to the inclusion of four and half
months of trading from HAML (which was divested in August 2009) in the prior year comparative. Adjusting for this
on a pro-forma basis, underlying revenue increased by £1.9 million (5%) over the year.
The group’s EBIT for 2011 was € 18 million, down 44.3% from € 32 million in 2010. Group profitability was
adversely impacted by performance at one of the Group’s US tooling operations. A number of operational and
financial improvement initiatives have now been introduced at the business, including the implementation of SAP,
strengthening of a number of key management positions, enhanced processes and lean initiatives, all of which are
expected to contribute to improved results going forward.
Composites & Transparencies EBIT decreased significantly despite the revenue increase, totaling a loss of € 26 million
in 2011 from € 30 million for the 2010 fiscal year.
EBIT for the Aerospace & Components segment was flat year over year at € 5 million.
Net Loss fell was € 33 million in 2011 versus Net Income of € 20 million in 2010.

Astronics Corp – USA 539
Analysis of Results
In 2011, the group’s sales increased 16.6% from € 151 million in 2010 to € 176 million. The increase was a result of
increase from our Aerospace segment
The Aerospace segment’s sales for 2011 increased by 19% from 2010. Sales growth was primarily driven by
increased sales of cabin electronics’ in-seat power systems and increased aircraft lighting products to the commercial
transport market as volumes increased.
The Test Systems segment was created from part of the acquisition of DME on January 30, 2009. The Test Systems
segment reported a decline in sales in 2011, down 11%, continuing to face headwinds as military spending has
slowed and opportunities for large programs were fewer.
EBIT for the group in 2011 was € 26 million, up 36.7% from € 19 million in 2010 as a result of increased EBIT in
the Aerospace segment due to the leverage provided on the increased sales volume partially offset by higher E&D
costs and increased SG&A costs.
Net Income for 2011 was € 17 million, up of 44.4% from € 12 million in 2010.
