NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited
- In Millions, Except Per Share Data)
Note
1.
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America for complete financial statements. All adjustments
which, in the opinion of management, are considered necessary for a fair
presentation of the results of operations for the periods shown, are of a normal
recurring nature and have been reflected in the condensed consolidated financial
statements. The results of operations for the periods presented are
not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or
for any future period. The information included in these condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the BE
Aerospace, Inc. (the “Company” or "B/E") Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related
disclosures. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Note
2.
Business
Combinations
On July
28, 2008, the Company acquired from Honeywell International Inc. (Honeywell) its
Consumables Solutions distribution business (HCS). The transaction was accounted
for as a purchase under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
141, “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141). The assets purchased and
liabilities assumed for this acquisition have been reflected in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets and results of operations for the acquisition are
included in the accompanying consolidated statement of earnings from the date of
acquisition.
The excess
of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net tangible assets
acquired was approximately $860, of which $250 was allocated to intangible
assets and $610 was allocated to goodwill. Approximately $407 of the
allocated goodwill and all of the $250 identifiable intangible assets are
expected to be amortizable and deductible for tax purposes.
In
connection with the HCS acquisition, the Company entered into a 30-year license
agreement (HCS License Agreement) to become Honeywell’s exclusive licensee with
respect to the sale to the global aerospace industry of Honeywell proprietary
fasteners, seals, bearings, gaskets and electrical components associated with
Honeywell’s engines, APU’s, avionics, wheels and brakes. The Company
also entered into a supply agreement (Honeywell Supply Agreement), under which
it became the exclusive supplier of both Honeywell proprietary consumables and
standard consumables to support the internal manufacturing needs of Honeywell
Aerospace. Pricing under the contract is adjusted annually, beginning
in 2010, to reflect changes in market conditions. The HCS License Agreement, the
Honeywell Supply Agreement, along with the various acquired original equipment
manufacturer customer contracts and relationships, were valued at $250.0 and are
being amortized over their respective useful lives, ranging 8-30
years.
The
Company completed the evaluation and allocation of the purchase price for the
HCS acquisition during the period ended June 30, 2009. During the six months
ended June 30, 2009, the Company adjusted a portion of the purchase price
allocation by a non-cash adjustment, which decreased inventories and increased
goodwill by approximately $36.0.
Consolidated
unaudited proforma results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008
presented below, reflect the impact of the HCS acquisition as if it had occurred
as of January 1, 2008.

New
Accounting Standards
In May
2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 165
“Subsequent Events” (SFAS 165). SFAS 165 establishes general standards of
accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date
but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS
165 sets forth (1) the period after the balance sheet date during which
management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may
occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (2)
the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions
occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and (3) the
disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that
occurred after the balance sheet date. SFAS 165 is effective for interim or
annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 165
did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial
statements. In addition, SFAS No. 165 requires an entity to disclose
the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. The
Company has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of its condensed
consolidated financial statements on August 4, 2009.
In June
2009, FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and
the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
-
a
replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (SFAS 168). SFAS No. 168 identifies the
sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles
used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that
are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)
in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). The Codification will supersede all
then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other
nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification
will become nonauthoritative. SFAS No. 168 is effective for financial
statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15,
2009. The adoption of SFAS 168 is not expected to have a material impact on the
consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Inventories
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using FIFO or the
weighted average cost method. Finished goods and work-in-process
inventories include material, labor and manufacturing overhead costs. In
accordance with industry practice, costs in inventory include amounts relating
to long-term contracts with long production cycles and inventory items with long
procurement cycles, some of which are not expected to be realized within one
year. Inventories consist of the following:

Goodwill
and Intangible Assets
In
accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” the
Company completed a fair value analysis of goodwill and other intangible assets
as of December 31, 2008, and concluded that an impairment existed at that
date. The fair value of the reporting units for goodwill impairment
testing were determined using valuation techniques based on estimates, judgments
and assumptions management believes were appropriate in the
circumstances. The sum of the fair values of the reporting units were
evaluated based on the Company’s market capitalization determined using average
share prices within a reasonable period of time near December 31, 2008, plus an
estimated control premium plus the fair value of its debt
obligations. The decrease in the current market multiples and the
Company’s market capitalization resulted in a decline in the fair value of the
reporting units as of December 31, 2008. Accordingly, the Company
recorded a pre-tax impairment charge related to goodwill of $369.3 and a pre-tax
impairment charge of $20.7 related to an intangible asset which was determined
to have no future use. As of June 30, 2009, management has concluded
that no further indicators of impairment existed.
The table
below sets forth the intangible assets by major asset class, all of which were
acquired through business purchase transactions:

expense on identifiable intangible assets was approximately $5.2 and $2.8 for
the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $10.2
and $5.5 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. The Company expects to report amortization expense of
approximately $20.0 in each of the next five fiscal years. The Company expenses
costs to renew or extend the term of a recognized intangible asset.

Long-Term
Debt
As of
June
3
0
,
2009
,
long-term
debt consisted of $
600.0
aggregate
principal amount of the Company’s 8
.5
% Senior
Notes due 2018 (Senior Notes)
and
$
519.8
outstanding
under the six-year term loan facility (Term Loan
F
acility)
of the Company’s senior secured credit facility (Credit Agreement).
The
Credit Agreement consists of (a) a $350.0 five-year revolving credit
facility (Revolving Credit Facility) and (b) the Term Loan
Facility. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear
interest at an annual rate equal to the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR)
(as defined) plus 275 basis points or prime (as defined) plus 175 basis points.
As of June 30, 2009, the rate under the Revolving Credit Facility was 5.75%.
There were no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of June
30, 2009. Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest at an
annual rate equal to LIBOR (as defined) plus 275 basis points or prime (as
defined) plus 175 basis points. As of June 30, 2009, the rate under
the Term Loan Facility was 5.75%.
Letters of
credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement aggregated $24.3 at June 30,
2009.
The Credit
Agreement contains an interest coverage ratio financial covenant (as defined in
the Credit Agreement) that must be maintained at a level greater than 2.25 to 1
through December 31, 2009 and 2.50 to 1, thereafter. The Credit
Agreement also contains a total leverage ratio covenant (as defined in the
Credit Agreement) which limits net debt to a 4.25 to 1 multiple of EBITDA (as
defined in the Credit Agreement) through December 31, 2009 and 4.00 to 1
thereafter. The Credit Agreement is collateralized by substantially
all of the Company’s assets and contains customary affirmative covenants,
negative covenants and conditions precedent for borrowings, all of which were
met as of June 30, 2009.
Note
7.
Fair-Value
Measurements
The Company adopted SFAS
No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157) effective January 1,
2008. SFAS 157 defines “fair value” as the price that would be
received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the
principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS
157 also describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair
value:
Level 1 – quoted prices in
active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 – observable inputs
other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and
liabilities.
Level 3 – unobservable
inputs in which there is little or no market data available, which require the
reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The only assets or
liabilities of the Company to which SFAS 157 applies are cash and cash
equivalents (which the Company classifies as Level 1 assets). There
was no difference between fair value of such assets and historical cost basis
set forth in the June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 balance
sheets.
The carrying amounts of
cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable-trade and accounts payable
approximate fair values due to the short term nature of such instruments. The
carrying amount of indebtedness under the Term Loan Facility of the Credit
Agreement is a reasonable estimate of its fair value as interest is based upon
floating market rates. The fair value of the Senior Notes, based on
market prices for publicly-traded debt, was $565.5 as of June 30,
2009.
Note 8.
Commitments,
Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Lease
Commitments —
The Company finances its use of certain facilities and
equipment under committed lease arrangements provided by various
institutions. Since the terms of these arrangements meet the
accounting definition of operating lease arrangements, the aggregate sum of
future minimum lease payments is not reflected on the condensed consolidated
balance sheet. At June 30, 2009, future minimum lease payments under
these arrangements totaled approximately $165.0 and the majority of which
related to the long-term real estate leases.
Indemnities,
Commitments and Guarantees
— During its normal course of business, the
Company has made certain indemnities, commitments and guarantees under which it
may be required to make payments in relation to certain
transactions. These indemnities include non-infringement of patents
and intellectual property indemnities to the Company's customers in connection
with the delivery, design, manufacture and sale of its products, indemnities to
various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising
from such facility or lease, and indemnities to other parties to certain
acquisition agreements. The duration of these indemnities,
commitments and guarantees varies, and in certain cases is
indefinite. The Company believes that substantially all of these
indemnities, commitments and guarantees provide for limitations on the maximum
potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. However, the
Company is unable to estimate the maximum amount of liability related to its
indemnities, commitments and guarantees because such liabilities are contingent
upon the occurrence of events which are not reasonably
determinable. Management believes that any liability for these
indemnities, commitments and guarantees would not have a material effect on the
Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly,
no significant amounts have been accrued for indemnities, commitments and
guarantees.
Product
Warranty Costs
–
Estimated costs related to product warranties are accrued at the time products
are sold. In estimating its future warranty obligations, the Company considers
various relevant factors, including the Company's stated warranty policies and
practices, the historical frequency of claims and the cost to replace or repair
its products under warranty. The following table provides a reconciliation of
the activity related to the Company's accrued warranty
expense:

Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation
The
Company has a Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) under which the Company’s
Compensation Committee may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights,
restricted stock, restricted stock units or other forms of equity based or
equity related awards.
Compensation
cost generally is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the four-year
vesting period of the shares. Share-based compensation of $6.1 and
$11.2 was recognized during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009
related to these share grants and restricted shares granted in prior
periods. Unrecognized compensation expense related to share grants,
including the estimated impact of any future forfeitures, was $46.4 at June 30,
2009.
The
Company has established a qualified Employee Stock Purchase Plan which allows
qualified employees (as defined in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan) to purchase
shares of the Company's common stock at a price equal to 85% of the closing
price at the end of each semi-annual stock purchase
period. Compensation cost for this plan was not material to any of
the periods presented.
Note

Segment
Reporting
The
Company is organized based on the products and services it
offers. The Company’s reportable segments are comprised of
consumables management, commercial aircraft and business jet.
The
Company evaluates segment performance based on segment operating earnings or
loss.
Each
segment reports its results of operations and makes requests for capital
expenditures and acquisition funding to the Company’s chief operating
decision-making group. This group is presently comprised of the Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer, the President and Chief Operating Officer, and the
Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Each operating segment has
separate management teams and infrastructures dedicated to providing a full
range of products and services to their customers.

Net
Earnings Per Common Share
Basic net
earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings per common share is computed
by using the average share price during the period when calculating the dilutive
effect of stock options, shares issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan
and restricted shares. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and
2008 and for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, securities totaling
approximately 1.2 and zero, and 1.3 and 0.5, respectively, were excluded from
the determination of diluted earnings per common share because their effect
would have been anti-dilutive. The computation of basic and diluted earnings per
share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively
are as follows:

Comprehensive
earnings is defined as all changes in a company's net assets except changes
resulting from transactions with stockholders. It differs from net earnings in
that certain items currently recorded to equity would be a part of comprehensive
earnings.

Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
In
accordance with the FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” the Company
recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more
likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the
taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.
As of June
30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had $13.6 and $12.5, respectively,
of net unrecognized tax benefits. This amount of unrecognized tax
benefits, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate.
The
Company classifies interest and penalties related to tax matters as a component
of income tax expense. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the accrual
related to interest and penalties was under $1.0.
The
Company is currently undergoing a U.S. federal income tax examination for fiscal
year 2006 as well as an examination in one of its non-U.S.
jurisdictions. With minor exceptions, the Company is currently open
to audit by the tax authorities for the four tax years ending December 31,
2008. The Company does not currently expect the audits will result in
any material adverse outcomes.

MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
|
|
AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|
|
(In
Millions, Except Per Share Data)
|
OVERVIEW
The
following discussion and analysis addresses the results of our operations for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to our results of
operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. In addition, the
discussion and analysis addresses our liquidity, financial condition and other
matters for these periods.
Based on
our experience in the industry, we believe that we are the world’s largest
manufacturer of cabin interior products for commercial aircraft and for business
jets and the leading aftermarket distributor of aerospace fasteners and other
consumable products. We sell our manufactured products directly to virtually all
of the world’s major airlines and airframe manufacturers and a wide variety of
business jet customers. In addition, based on our experience, we believe that we
have achieved leading global market positions in each of our major product
categories, which include:
|
•
|
a
broad line of aerospace fasteners, covering over 275,000 stock keeping
units (SKUs) serving the commercial aircraft, business jet and military
and defense industries;
|
|
•
|
commercial
aircraft seats, including an extensive line of super first class, first
class, business class, tourist class and regional aircraft
seats;
|
|
•
|
a
full line of aircraft food and beverage preparation and storage equipment,
including coffeemakers, water boilers, beverage containers, refrigerators,
freezers, chillers and microwave, high heat, convection and steam
ovens;
|
|
•
|
both
chemical and gaseous aircraft oxygen delivery, distribution and storage
systems, protective breathing equipment and lighting products;
and
|
|
•
|
business
jet and general aviation interior products, including an extensive line of
executive aircraft seats, direct and indirect overhead lighting systems,
oxygen delivery systems, air valve systems, high-end furniture and
cabinetry.
|
We also
design, develop and manufacture a broad range of cabin interior structures and
provide comprehensive aircraft cabin interior reconfiguration and
passenger-to-freighter conversion engineering services and component
kits.
We conduct
our operations through strategic business units that have been aggregated under
three reportable segments: consumables management, commercial aircraft and
business jet.
Net sales
by reportable segment for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009
and June 30, 2008, respectively, were as follows:

In July
2008, we acquired Honeywell International Inc.’s Consumable Solutions
distribution business (HCS). The HCS business distributes consumable
parts and supplies to aviation industry manufacturers, airlines, and aircraft
repair and overhaul facilities. The combination of HCS with our
consumables management segment (formerly our distribution segment) created the
leading global distributor and value added supply chain manager of aerospace
hardware and other consumable products. The combined business serves
as a distributor for every major aerospace fastener manufacturer in the
world.
New
product development is a strategic initiative for us. Our customers regularly
request that we engage in new product development and enhancement activities. We
believe these activities protect and enhance our leadership position. We believe
our investments in research and development over the past several years have
been the driving force behind our ongoing market share gains. Research,
development and engineering spending has been approximately 6% – 8% of sales for
the past several years but is expected to decline as a percentage of sales in
the future due to our recently implemented stringent cost initiatives and as a
result of the HCS acquisition.
We also
believe in providing our businesses with the tools required to remain
competitive. In that regard, we have invested, and intend to continue to invest,
in property and equipment that enhances our productivity. Over the past three
years, annual capital expenditures ranged from $24 - $32. Taking into
consideration our backlog, targeted capacity utilization levels, recent capital
expenditure investments and current industry conditions, we anticipate capital
expenditures of approximately $40 over the next twelve months.
International
passenger traffic has declined by more than 7% from January 2009 to May 2009
compared with the same period ending in 2008, and the International Air
Transport Association (IATA) now expects passenger traffic to fall by an
unprecedented 8% for 2009, compared with the same period in
2008. International cargo traffic, which began falling in June 2008,
was down by more than 21% from January 2009 to May 2009 compared with the same
period in 2008 and IATA expects cargo traffic to be down 17% for 2009 compared
to the same period a year ago. Air freighters are currently being parked at
unprecedented rates and demand for passenger to freighter conversions is
expected to be low for the foreseeable future. The resulting lower
yields for the global airline industry are causing our customers to increase the
number of parked aircraft and to further defer new aircraft
deliveries. In addition, due to the factors discussed above, business
jet manufacturers have slashed their delivery rates by, in some cases, up to
40%. We also believe that major commercial airframe manufacturers
will further reduce their delivery rates in 2010. We have responded
to these events by initiating further cost reduction efforts. For
example, since June 30, 2008 we have reduced our headcount by approximately
20%.
RESULTS
OF OPERATION
In order to present our
financial results on a more comparable basis, certain information in the
following discussion and analysis is presented giving effect to the HCS
acquisition. Amounts presented as on a “proforma” basis have been
calculated as if the HCS acquisition had occurred on January 1,
2008.

Net sales
for the second quarter of $474.8 decreased by $47.4, or 9.1%, as compared with
the second quarter of the prior year. The $47.4 decrease in net sales
was the result of the $73.0, or 59.1%, increase in net sales at the consumables
management segment (formerly our distribution segment) due to the HCS
acquisition, offset by a $102.3, or 31.4% decrease in net sales at the
commercial aircraft segment and a $18.1, or 25.0% decrease in net sales at the
business jet segment. Proforma net sales (including the HCS
acquisition in both periods) declined 30.1% as compared with the second quarter
of 2008.
Cost of
sales for the current period were $309.5, or 65.2% of net sales, as compared to
$342.4, or 65.6% of net sales, in the second quarter of the prior
year. The 40 basis point decrease in cost of sales was due to
successful cost reduction activities and manufacturing efficiencies, more
efficient consumables management purchasing in the current period and initial
synergies arising from the HCS acquisition offset by the acquisition of HCS in
July 2008 which was less profitable than our legacy consumables management
segment.
Selling,
general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the second quarter of 2009
were $68.1, or 14.3% of sales, as compared to $61.7, or 11.8% of sales, in the
same period in 2008. SG&A expenses increased by $6.4, or 10.4%,
due to $2.9 of acquisition, integration and transition costs associated with the
HCS acquisition (AIT costs) and $4.8 of unfavorable foreign exchange expenses
mainly due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar versus the British pound,
partially offset by the Company’s cost reduction initiatives including an 20%
reduction in headcount as compared to our 2008 proforma headcount.
Research,
development and engineering expense for the second quarter of 2009 was $23.3, or
4.9% of sales, as compared to $33.8, or 6.5% of sales, in the same period in
2008. The lower level of spending is primarily due to cost
initiatives at our commercial aircraft segment and inclusion of HCS in
2009.
Operating
earnings for the second quarter of 2009 of $73.9 decreased $10.4, or 12.3% as
compared to the same period in 2008, reflecting the $47.4 decrease in net
sales, a 40 basis point reduction in cost of sales as a percentage
of net sales, $6.0 of AIT costs and $4.8 of foreign exhcange losses.
Including HCS in both periods, second quarter 2009 operating earnings decreased
30.8% as compared with second quarter 2008 proforma operating earnings of
$106.8, reflecting the 30.1% year over year decrease in proforma revenues, $6.0
of AIT costs and $4.8 of foreign exchange losses in the current three month
period.
Interest
expense for the second quarter of 2009 of $22.5 was $20.2 higher than the
interest expense in the same period in the prior year due to the increase in
long-term debt associated with the HCS acquisition in July 2008.
Earnings
before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2009 of $51.4 decreased
by $30.6, or 37.3%, as compared to the same period in the prior year as a result
of the 9.1% decrease in revenues, $6.0 of AIT costs, $4.8 of foreign exchange
losses and a $20.2 increase in interest expense.
Income
taxes in the second quarter of 2009 were $16.7, or 32.5% of earnings before
income taxes, as compared to $28.1, or 34.3% of earnings before income taxes, in
the second quarter of 2008. Income taxes as a percentage of earnings
before income taxes decreased in the current period as a result of tax planning
initiatives implemented during the 2009 period.
Net
earnings for the second quarter of 2009 were $34.7, or $0.35 per diluted share,
as compared with net earnings of $53.9, or $0.59 per diluted share, in the
second quarter of 2008. Net earnings decreased by $19.2, or 35.6%, as compared
with the second quarter of the prior year as a result of the lower level of
revenues, $6.0 of AIT costs and $4.8 of foreign exchange losses mainly related
to the weakening of the US dollar versus the British pound.

Consumables
management segment net sales were $196.6, which was $73.0, or 59.1%, greater
than the prior year due to the HCS acquisition. Reflecting the HCS
acquisition in both periods, consumables management segment net sales were 30.0%
lower than second quarter 2008 proforma net sales of $281.0. The
significant decline in consumables management segment net sales in the current
period was due to a global destocking of consumables by airlines, maintenance,
repair and overhaul centers (MROs) and aerospace
manufacturers. Consumables management segment operating earnings,
which include $6.0 of AIT costs, were $35.8. Second quarter 2009
operating earnings, adjusted to exclude AIT costs, were $41.8, or 21.3% of net
sales as compared with second quarter 2008 proforma operating earnings of $54.1,
or (19.3% of sales). Second quarter 2009 adjusted operating margin
expanded 200 basis points as compared with proforma operating margin in the
prior year period primarily due to lower margins in the HCS business in the
prior year period, more efficient purchasing in the current period and initial
synergies arising from the HCS acquisition.
Commercial
aircraft segment net sales of $223.9 decreased 31.4% reflecting retrofit program
push outs, refurbishment deferrals and lower spares revenues. Second
quarter 2009 operating earnings were $31.6, or 14.1% of sales. Second
quarter operating margin increased by 70 basis points as compared with the same
period in the prior year, reflecting successful cost reduction activities and
improved manufacturing efficiencies partially offset by approximately $4.5 of
foreign exchange losses due to the rapid decline in the U.S. dollar during the
current period.
Business
jet segment second quarter net sales of $54.3 decreased by $18.1, or 25.0%, and
operating earnings decreased by $2.6, or 28.6%, reflecting the slow down in both
business jet deliveries and Super First Class products demand.

Net sales
for the six months ended June 30, 2009 of $998.5 were essentially unchanged, as
compared with the same period of the prior year of $995.4. Net sales
at the consumables management segment increased by $190.4, or 77.5%, due to the
HCS acquisition and were offset by a $154.9, or 25.6%, decrease in net sales at
the commercial aircraft segment and a $32.4, or 22.3%, decrease in net sales at
the business jet segment. Proforma net sales (including the HCS
acquisition in both periods) declined by $301.7 or 23.2%, as compared with the
same period of the prior year.
Cost of
sales for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $656.5, or 65.7% of sales, as
compared with cost of sales of $646.5, or 64.9% of sales, in the prior
year. The 80 basis point increase in cost of sales was due to the
acquisition of HCS in July 2008 which had a higher cost of sales than our
business, offset by improved manufacturing efficiencies and successful cost
reduction activities, more efficient consumables management purchasing in the
current period and initial synergies arising from the HCS
acquisition.
Selling,
general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the six months ended June 30,
2009 were $140.1, or 14.0% of sales, as compared with SG&A of $118.0, or
11.9% of sales, in the same period in 2008. SG&A expenses
increased by $22.1, or 18.7%, due to the acquisition of HCS, $5.6 of AIT costs
and approximately $8.6 of unfavorable foreign exchange expenses mainly due to
the weakening of the U.S. dollar versus the British pound during the current
period partially offset by the Company’s cost reduction
initiatives. SG&A expenses are expected to further decline in
2010 as we complete the integration of HCS and the elimination of duplicative
costs and expenses.
Research,
development and engineering expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was
$47.3, or 4.7% of sales, as compared with $69.2, or 7.0%, of sales in the same
period in 2008. The lower level of spending is primarily due to cost
initiatives in place at our commercial aircraft segment and inclusion of HCS in
2009.
Operating
earnings of $154.6 decreased $7.1, or 4.4%, reflecting the $3.1 increase in
net sales, an 80 basis point increase in cost of sales as a percentage of net
sales as a result of the acquisition of HCS which had a higher cost of
sales than our business, $9.7 of AIT costs and $8.6 of foreign exchange
losses. Including HCS in both periods, 2009 operating earnings of $154.6
decreased 22.6% as compared with 2008 proforma operating earnings of $199.8,
reflecting the 23.2% year over year decrease in proforma revenues, $9.7 of AIT
costs and $8.6 of foreign exchange losses in the current six month
period.
Interest
expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 of $45.0 was $39.9 higher than
the interest expense in the same period in the prior year, primarily due to the
increase in long-term debt associated with the July 2008 HCS
acquisition.
Earnings
before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2009 of $109.6 decreased
by $47.0, or 30.0%, as compared to the same period in the prior year as a result
of the $39.9 increase in interest expense, $9.7 of AIT costs and $8.6 of
unfavorable foreign exchange losses mainly due to the weakening of the U.S.
dollar versus the British pound.
Income
taxes were $37.0, or 33.8% of earnings before income taxes, as compared to
$54.2, or 34.6% of earnings before income taxes, in 2008.
Net
earnings of $72.6 decreased by $29.8 or 29.1% as compared with the prior year as
a result of $9.7 of AIT costs and $8.6 of unfavorable foreign exchange expenses
mainly due to the weakening of the US dollar versus the British
pound.

Consumables
management net sales were $436.0 or 77.5% higher than revenues of $245.6 in the
prior year period due to the HCS acquisition in July 2008. Including
the HCS acquisition in both periods, consumables management net sales of $436.0
were $114.4 or 20.8% lower than 2008 proforma revenues of
$550.4. Consumables management segment operating earnings, which
include $9.7 of AIT costs were $83.2. Operating earnings, adjusted to
exclude AIT costs were $92.9, or (21.3% of net sales), as compared with 2008
operating earnings of $66.9 (27.2% of net sales) and as further compared with
2008 proforma operating earnings of $105.0, or 19.1% of
sales. Operating margin expanded 220 basis points as compared with
proforma operating margin primarily due to lower margins in the HCS business in
the prior year, more efficient purchasing in the current period and initial
synergies arising from the HCS acquisition.
Commercial
aircraft segment net sales of $449.8 decreased 25.6% reflecting retrofit program
pushouts and lower spares revenues. Spares revenues in the current
period declined significantly due to reduced air travel, reduced fleet capacity
and airline cash conservation measures. Operating earnings in the
2009 period were $60.1, or 13.4% of sales, an increase of 100 basis points as
compared with the same period in the prior year, reflecting improved
manufacturing efficiencies and successful cost reduction activities, partially
offset by an unfavorable mix due to the substantially lower level of spares
revenues.
Business
jet segment net sales decreased by $32.4, or 22.3%, to $112.7 and operating
earnings decreased by $8.4, or 42.6%, reflecting the negative impact of reduced
operating leverage and an unfavorable mix of products sold in the 2009 period as
compared to the same period in 2008.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Current
Financial Condition
As of June
30, 2009, our net debt-to-net-capital ratio was 41.6%. Net debt was
$973.6, which represents total debt of $1,120.0, less cash and cash equivalents
of $146.4. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving
Credit Facility of our Credit Agreement and we have no debt maturities until
2014.
Working
capital as of June 30, 2009 was $1,253.7, up $80.0 as compared with working
capital at December 31, 2008. During the first half of 2009, we
successfully completed our initiative to bring HCS inventories in line with our
stocking distribution model. The investments in inventories at the
consumables management segment was the principal reason for the increase in
working capital.
Cash
Flows
At June
30, 2009, our cash and cash equivalents were $146.4 compared to $168.1 at
December 31, 2008. Cash provided by operating activities for the
three months ended June 30, 2009 was $34.0, as compared to $46.1 for the three
months ended June 30, 2008. Cash used in operating activities was
$5.5 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to $11.2 of cash
generated from operations in the same period in the prior year. The
primary source of cash from operations during the six months ended June 30, 2009
were net earnings of $72.6, adjusted by depreciation and amortization of $24.1,
non-cash compensation of $11.5, a $26.4 decrease in deferred tax asset and a
$24.3 decrease in accounts receivable. Offsetting these sources
of cash were a higher level of inventories ($130.6) and the lower level of
payables and accruals ($57.1).
Capital
Spending
Our
capital expenditures were $15.5 and $13.3 during the six months ended June 30,
2009 and 2008, respectively. We anticipate capital expenditures of
approximately $40 for the next twelve months. We have no material
commitments for capital expenditures. We have, in the past, generally funded our
capital expenditures with cash from operations and funds available to us under
bank credit facilities. We expect to fund future capital expenditures from cash
on hand, from operations and from funds available to us under our Revolving
Credit Facility of our Credit Agreement.
Outstanding
Debt and Other Financing Arrangements
Long-term
debt at June 30, 2009 consisted principally of $519.8 of term loan borrowings
under our Term Loan Facility of our Credit Agreement and $600.0 aggregate
principal amount of 8.5% Senior Notes due 2018.
Borrowings
under our Term Loan Facility bear interest at an annual rate equal to LIBOR (as
defined) plus 275 basis points or prime (as defined) plus 175 basis points,
which was 5.75% at June 30, 2009. Borrowings under our Revolving
Credit Facility would bear interest at an annual rate equal to, at the Company’s
option, LIBOR (as defined) plus 275 basis points or prime (as defined) plus 175
basis points. There were no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit
Facility as of June 30, 2009.
Contractual
Obligations
During the
six-month period ended June 30, 2009, there were no material changes in our
long-term debt. The following chart reflects our contractual
obligations, represented by operating leases and purchase obligations, and
commercial commitments as of June 30, 2009. Commercial commitments
include lines of credit, guarantees and other potential cash outflows resulting
from a contingent event that requires performance by us or our subsidiaries
pursuant to a funding commitment.

Our
liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $13.6 at June 30, 2009 has been
omitted from the above table because we cannot determine with certainty
when this liability will be settled. It is reasonably possible
that the amount of liability for unrecognized tax benefits will change in
the next twelve months; however, we do not expect the change to have a
significant impact on our consolidated financial
statements.
|
(2)
|
Occasionally
we enter into purchase commitments for production materials and other
items. We also enter into unconditional purchase obligations
with various vendors and suppliers of goods and services in the normal
course of operations through purchase orders, other documentation or with
an invoice. Such obligations are generally outstanding for
periods less than a year and are settled by cash payments upon delivery of
goods and services and are not reflected in purchase obligations in this
table.
|
(3)
|
Future
interest payments include estimated amounts due on the $519.8 aggregate
principal amount outstanding under our Term Loan Facility, based on the
actual rate of interest at June 30, 2009. Actual interest
payments will fluctuate based on LIBOR prime rate pursuant to the terms of
the Credit Agreement.
|
We believe
that our cash flows, together with cash on hand and the availability under the
Credit Agreement, provide us with the ability to fund our operations, make
planned capital expenditures and make scheduled debt service payments for at
least the next twelve months. However, such cash flows are dependent upon our
future operating performance, which, in turn, is subject to prevailing economic
conditions and to financial, business and other factors, including the
conditions of our markets, some of which are beyond our control. If, in the
future, we cannot generate sufficient cash from operations to meet our debt
service obligations, we will need to refinance such debt obligations, obtain
additional financing or sell assets. We cannot assure you that our business will
generate cash from operations or that we will be able to obtain financing from
other sources sufficient to satisfy our debt service or other
requirements.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
Lease
Arrangements
We finance
our use of certain equipment under committed lease arrangements provided by
various financial institutions. Since the terms of these arrangements meet the
accounting definition of operating lease arrangements, the aggregate sum of
future minimum lease payments is not reflected in our consolidated balance
sheet. Future minimum lease payments under these arrangements
aggregated approximately $165.0 at June 30, 2009.
Indemnities,
Commitments and Guarantees
During the
normal course of business, we have made, and we may continue to make, certain
indemnities, commitments and guarantees under which we may be required to make
payments in relation to certain transactions. These indemnities include
non-infringement of patents and intellectual property indemnities to our
customers in connection with the delivery, design, manufacture and sale of our
products, indemnities to various lessors in connection with facility leases for
certain claims arising from such facility or lease, and indemnities to other
parties to certain acquisition agreements. The duration of these indemnities,
commitments and guarantees varies, and in certain cases, is indefinite. We
believe that substantially all of our indemnities, commitments and guarantees
provide for limitations on the maximum potential future payments we could be
obligated to make. However, we are unable to estimate the maximum amount of
liability related to our indemnities, commitments and guarantees because such
liabilities are contingent upon the occurrence of events which are not
reasonably determinable. Management believes that any liability for these
indemnities, commitments and guarantees would not be material to our
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Deferred
Tax Assets
We
maintained a valuation allowance of approximately $6.9 as of June 30, 2009
primarily related to foreign tax credits and foreign net operating
losses.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Critical
accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant
judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different
results under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that our critical
accounting policies are limited to those described in Note 1 to Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. There have been no changes
to our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2008.
DEPENDENCE
UPON CONDITIONS IN THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY
For more
than the last twelve months, global financial markets have experienced extreme
volatility and disruption. Since September 2008, this volatility has reached
unprecedented levels as a result of a financial crisis affecting the banking
system and participants in the global financial markets. Concerns over the
tightening of the corporate credit markets, inflation, energy costs and the
dislocation of the residential real estate and mortgage markets have contributed
to the volatility in the global financial markets and, together with the global
financial crisis, have diminished expectations for global economic conditions in
the future. The airline and business jet industries are particularly
sensitive to changes in economic conditions. In 2009, the airline
industry has continued to park aircraft, delay new aircraft purchases and
delivery of new aircraft, deferred retrofit programs and depleted existing
inventories as we saw in 2008. We expect the business jet industry will continue
to be severely impacted by both the recession and by declining corporate
profits.
We expect,
based on current economic conditions, that air traffic will decline
significantly in 2009. Declining air traffic has, and we expect will
continue to, negatively impact our customer base. A continued economic downturn
would likely continue to negatively impact the airline and business jet
industries, which could cause a significant negative impact on our future
results of operations.
FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This
report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, all statements
that do not relate solely to historical or current facts, including statements
regarding the expected benefits derived in connection with the HCS acquisition,
implementation and expected benefits of lean manufacturing and continuous
improvement plans, our dealings with customers and partners, the consolidation
of facilities, reduction of our workforce, integration of acquired businesses,
ongoing capital expenditures, our ability to grow our business, the impact of
the large number of grounded aircraft on demand for our products and our
underlying assets, the adequacy of funds to meet our capital requirements, the
ability to refinance our indebtedness, if necessary, the reduction of debt, the
potential impact of new accounting pronouncements, and the impact on our
business of the recent decreases in passenger traffic and projected decreases in
passenger traffic and the size of the airline fleet. Such
forward-looking statements include risks and uncertainties and our actual
experience and results may differ materially from the experience and results
anticipated in such statements. Factors that might cause such a difference
include those discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, under the heading "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K,
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 as well as future events that may
have the effect of reducing our available operating income and cash balances,
such as unexpected operating losses, the impact of rising fuel prices on our
airline customers, outbreaks in national or international hostilities, terrorist
attacks, prolonged health issues which reduce air travel demand (e.g., SARS,
Swine Flu), delays in, or unexpected costs associated with, the integration of
our acquired or recently consolidated businesses, including HCS, conditions in
the airline industry, conditions in the business jet industry, regulatory
developments, litigation costs, problems meeting customer delivery requirements,
our success in winning new or expected refurbishment contracts from customers,
capital expenditures, increased leverage, possible future acquisitions, facility
closures, product transition costs, labor disputes involving us, our significant

intangible assets, delays or inefficiencies in the introduction of new products,
fluctuations in currency exchange rates or our inability to properly manage our
rapid growth.
Except as
required under the federal securities laws and rules and regulations of the SEC,
we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
You are cautioned not to unduly rely on such forward-looking statements when
evaluating the information presented herein. These statements should be
considered only after carefully reading the risk factors and the other
information in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2008 and this entire quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES
ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are
exposed to a variety of risks, including foreign currency fluctuations and
changes in interest rates affecting the cost of our variable-rate
debt.
Foreign
Currency
- We have direct operations in Europe that receive revenues from
customers primarily in U.S. dollars, and we purchase raw materials and component
parts from foreign vendors primarily in British pounds or euros. Accordingly, we
are exposed to transaction gains and losses that could result from changes in
foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar. The largest foreign
currency exposure results from activity in British pounds and
euros.
From time
to time, we and our foreign subsidiaries may enter into foreign currency
exchange contracts to manage risk on transactions conducted in foreign
currencies. At June 30, 2009, we had no outstanding forward currency exchange
contracts. In addition, we have not entered into any other derivative
financial instruments.
Interest
Rates
– At June 30, 2009, we had adjustable rate debt with a value
totaling $519.8. The weighted average interest rates for the adjustable rate
debt was approximately 5.8% at June 30, 2009. If interest rates on
variable rate debt were to increase by 10% above current rates, our pretax
income would decline by approximately $3.0. We do not engage in transactions
intended to hedge our exposure to changes in interest
rates.
As of June
30, 2009, we maintained a portfolio of securities consisting mainly of taxable,
interest-bearing deposits with weighted average maturities of less than three
months. If short-term interest rates were to increase or decrease by
10%, we estimate interest income would increase or decrease by
$0.1.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
The
Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness, as
of June 30, 2009, of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and
procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information
required to be included in the Company’s periodic filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission and in ensuring that information required to be
disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time
periods specified, in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Internal
Control over Financial Reporting
There were
no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that
occurred during the second quarter of 2009 that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
On July
30, 2009, our Board of Directors approved changes to our Management Incentive
Plan (MIP) to establish criteria for determining the size of the MIP pool. The
MIP pool in 2009 will be reduced by approximately 50% as compared to 2008 to
reflect the downturn in earnings caused by the recession and the impact on the
aviation industry. Commencing in 2010, the aggregate amount of cash
incentives payable to all MIP participants will be determined by multiplying
earnings before income taxes (as defined) by an agreed upon percentage, thereby
providing an incentive pool which will increase or decrease with pretax
earnings. For compensation purposes in 2009, the Company will use the financial
plan as submitted at the April 28, 2009 meeting of the Board of
Directors.
