  • 7% revenue increase driven by:

– £82m from test business of Aeroflex and full year contribution from Axell Wireless – Healthy growth in key commercial markets - commercial aerospace up 9% and marine SATCOM up 6% – Organic revenue decline of 6% resulting from reduced demand in land defence programmes

  • £7m trading profit increase driven by:

– Strong acquisition performance and growth in commercial markets – Further cost rationalisation to mitigate negative impact of weaker demand profile in land defence markets

  • Investing for future growth, with targeted PV spend of 9.6% of revenue

– Focus remains on commercial opportunities, with major spend in SATCOM, Wireless (ATS and Axell) and commercial aerospace avionics accounting for over 70% of total PV technology investment

  • Significant development effort and programme transition ongoing, leading to organic revenue

decline of 4% including:

– Increase in customer funded development revenue on AAR programmes (KC-46, A400M) – Activity levels in short cycle Life Support businesses picked up as expected in H2 – Reduced legacy aerial refuelling revenue due to lull in production of US KC-130 tanker aircraft – Lower production and aftermarket activity in support of the UK FSTA programme’s Airbus A330MRTT

  • Changing programme mix resulting in reduced operating profit and margin due to:

– Reduction in higher margin legacy aerial refuelling programmes and associated aftermarket activity – Increase in proportion of lower margin development programme revenue – Previously targeted technical contract milestones not achieved in H2 leading to one off contract provision of £15m; now anticipate meeting contract milestones during 2015

  • Newly consolidated portfolio delivers 16% increase in total revenue including:

– Strong part year contribution from Aeroflex AMS business, increasing commercial revenue – Continuing robust performance in existing US Defence business due to longer cycle priority programmes – Organic revenue reduction of just 1%; robust in challenging US defence markets

  • Continuing to build strong foundation via long-term programme awards on key future defence

platforms based on differentiated technology offerings

  • Encouraging start from AMS drives increase in operating profit, partially offset by impact of organic

volume decline and change in mix across legacy business

  • Margins impacted by volume profile and completion of higher margin production programmes in 2013

  • Helicopter services organic growth driven by new Qatar maintenance support contract
  • Increasing operating profit from higher level of activity in organic operations and incremental acquisition

contribution from Helicopter Services (acquired in July 2013)

Exchange Rates

  • Translation impact

– 2014 underlying PBT at December closing rates would be c.£0.5m higher – Movements in exchange do not impact

  • rganic performance comparisons

– Translation risk not hedged as generally impact is only crystallised to the extent that profit is not reinvested in the business and is repatriated to the UK – Risk partly mitigated by matching the currency profile of debt to that of the functional currencies of our operations

  • Transaction impact

– Mostly hedged where we have costs or revenues that are not in underlying functional currency of the business – See next slide “Foreign Exchange Transaction Exposure” highlighting US$ forward coverage

Definitions

Underlying To assist with the understanding of earnings trends, the Group has included within its published financial statements non-GAAP measures including trading profit and underlying earnings results. Trading profit has been defined as operating profit from continuing operations excluding the impacts of business acquisition and divestment related activity and business restructuring costs as detailed below. Also excluded are changes in the marking to market of non-hedge accounted derivative financial instruments, impairments of intangible assets and items deemed by the Directors to be of an exceptional nature. Underlying earnings are defined as trading profit less net underlying finance costs, which excludes acquisition related items, and after deducting associated taxation and non-controlling interests. Business acquisition and divestment related items Business acquisition and divestment related items excluded from trading profit and underlying earnings include the amortisation of intangible assets recognised on acquisition, revaluation gains and losses arising on the original equity interests on stepped acquisitions, adjustments to businesses held for sale, the writing off of the pre-acquisition profit element of inventory written up on acquisition, other direct costs associated with business combinations and terminated divestments and adjustments to contingent consideration related to previously acquired businesses. Business restructuring costs Business restructuring costs relate to the restructuring of the Group’s portfolio which are incremental to normal operations. These relate to the integration of the Aeroflex businesses acquired in 2014 and the EiD programme. The EiD programme, to be completed by the end of 2015, relates to the design and implementation of Standard Operating Frameworks within the principal locations, development costs of a new ERP computer system, together with site consolidation, consequential asset write downs and workforce reduction costs. Operating cash flow Operating cash flow is defined as net cash from operating activities before payment of tax, interest, restructuring costs and M&A related costs but after cash flows from the purchase or disposal of property, plant, equipment and intangible assets. Operating cash conversion is defined as operating cash flow as a percentage of trading profit, excluding profit from joint ventures. Free cash flow Free cash flow is defined as net cash from operating activities plus dividends received from joint ventures, less cash flows related to the purchase or disposal of property, plant, equipment and intangible assets but excluding payments relating to M&A related activities. Net debt Net debt is defined as the net of borrowings less cash and cash equivalents at the balance sheet date. Organic revenue growth Organic revenue growth is defined as revenue growth stated at constant translation exchange rates, excluding the incremental effect of acquisitions and divestments. PV investment PV (Private Venture) or company funded R&D (Research and Development) measures exclude Aviation Services, where there is no R&D activity. Invested capital Invested capital comprises net assets adjusted to exclude net debt, retirement benefit obligations, derivative financial instruments, current and deferred tax, provisions and other financial assets. Intangible assets recognised on business combinations are grossed up to original cost before amortisation and an adjustment is also made to reinstate historic goodwill previously written off directly to reserves. Return on invested capital Trading profit as a percentage of the average invested capital during the period. 5 March 2015
