-- Second Quarter 2010 Revenues of $1.056 billion

-- Operating Income of $86 million; Operating Margins of 8.1 percent

Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SPR) reported second quarter 2010 financial results reflecting solid operating performance.

Spirit's second quarter 2010 revenues were $1.056 billion, down slightly from $1.060 billion for the same period of 2009, driven by model mix and volume. Operating income increased to $86 million, compared to ($10) million for the same period in 2009. Net income for the quarter increased to $55 million, or $0.39 per fully diluted share, compared to ($8) million, or ($0.06) per fully diluted share, in the same period of 2009.

Second quarter pre-tax earnings were reduced by approximately ($19) million for the quarter, or ($0.10) per share, related to the award of stock to eligible union employees as part of the new 10-year agreement with Spirit's largest labor union, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM). Results in the comparable quarter of 2009 were impacted by several unusual charges which also resulted in a tax benefit. (Table 1)

"We generated solid operating performance across the company," said President and Chief Executive Officer Jeff Turner. "With our core businesses executing well, continued progress on our development programs, and our team for the future intact, we have the positive momentum needed to fulfill our long-term value creation strategy."

"Underscoring our ongoing diversification, on July 1st, we were pleased to celebrate the grand opening of Spirit North Carolina in Kinston, NC. A significant milestone for Spirit, this facility will initially focus on the design and manufacture of the Airbus A350 XWB Section 15 fuselage and the forward wing spar employing state-of-the-art composite technology and processes. We're excited about our continued journey helping build the next generation of commercial aircraft, as well as our growing partnership with Airbus and the State of North Carolina," Turner added.

"Looking forward, the commercial aerospace market continues to strengthen, with demand for our core products growing. While certain segments of the business jet market are still a concern and several significant development milestones are ahead of us, our priority will continue to be on solid execution as we deliver on our customer commitments to ensure we meet our company's potential," Turner concluded.

Spirit's backlog at the end of the second quarter of 2010 was $27.2 billion, down approximately three percent, as deliveries exceeded orders. Spirit calculates its backlog based on contractual prices for products and volumes from the published firm order backlogs of Airbus and Boeing, along with firm orders from other customers.

Spirit contract profitability estimates during the second quarter of 2010 resulted in no net contract adjustments. In comparison, Spirit recognized a $33 million unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustment for the second quarter of 2009.

Cash flow from operations was a ($7) million use of cash for the second quarter of 2010, compared to a ($67) million use of cash for the second quarter of 2009. The current quarter improvement is largely the result of the slowing of new program inventory growth; net favorable accounts payable and accounts receivable results, which were largely the result of timing; and additional receipts of deferred revenue.

Cash balances at the end of the second quarter 2010 were $118 million and debt balances were $893 million. At the end of the second quarter, the company's $409 million revolving credit facility remained undrawn, with approximately $19 million of the credit facility reserved for financial letters of credit.

The company's credit ratings remained unchanged at the end of the second quarter with a BB rating at Standard & Poor's and a Ba3 rating at Moody's.

2010 Outlook

Spirit revenue guidance for the full-year 2010 remains unchanged and is expected to be between $4.0 and $4.2 billion based on Boeing's 2010 delivery guidance of 460 - 465 aircraft; anticipated B787 deliveries; expected Airbus deliveries in 2010 of approximately 498 aircraft; internal Spirit forecasts for non-OEM production activity and other customers; and foreign exchange rates consistent with those in the first half of 2010.

Fully diluted earnings per share guidance for 2010 remains unchanged and is expected to be between $1.50 and $1.70 per share.

Cash flow from operations, less capital expenditures, is expected to be approximately ($250) million use of cash in the aggregate, with capital expenditures of approximately $325 million. Anticipated capital expenditures in 2010 include approximately $100 million of tooling associated with the Airbus A350 XWB program. Cash flow from operations, less capital expenditures, is expected to be significantly improved in 2011.

The effective tax rate, forecasted to be approximately 27 percent for 2010, remains unchanged. This assumes the benefit attributable to extending the U.S. research tax credit. (Table 3)

Risk to our financial guidance includes, among other factors: higher than
forecasted non-recurring and recurring costs on our development programs;
mid-range business jet market risks; our ability to achieve anticipated
productivity and cost improvements; and the ability to resolve significant
787 program claims with Boeing.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains "forward-looking statements." Forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations or forecasts of future events. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "believe," "project," "continue," "plan," "forecast," or other similar words, or the negative thereof, unless the context requires otherwise. These statements reflect management's current views with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties, both known and unknown. Our actual results may vary materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in such forward-looking statements and that should be considered in evaluating our outlook include, but are not limited to, the following: our ability to continue to grow our business and execute our growth strategy, including the timing and execution of new programs; our ability to perform our obligations and manage costs related to our new commercial and business aircraft development programs and the related recurring production; potential reduction in the build rates of certain Boeing aircraft including, but not limited to, the B737 program, the B747 program, the B767 program and the B777 program, and build rates of the Airbus A320 and A380 programs, which could be negatively impacted by continuing weakness in the global economy and economic challenges facing commercial airlines, and by a lack of business and consumer confidence and the impact of continuing instability in the global financial and credit markets, including, but not limited to, sovereign debt concerns in Europe; the inability to resolve significant claims with Boeing related to non-recurring and recurring costs on the B787 program; declining business jet manufacturing rates and customer cancellations or deferrals as a result of the weakened global economy; the success and timely execution of key milestones such as certification and delivery of Boeing's new B787 and Airbus' new A350 XWB aircraft programs, including receipt of necessary regulatory approvals and customer adherence to their announced schedules; our ability to enter into supply arrangements with additional customers and the ability of all parties to satisfy their performance requirements under existing supply contracts with Boeing and Airbus, our two major customers, and other customers and the risk of nonpayment by such customers; any adverse impact on Boeing's and Airbus' production of aircraft resulting from cancellations, deferrals or reduced orders by their customers or from labor disputes or acts of terrorism; any adverse impact on the demand for air travel or our operations from the outbreak of diseases such as the influenza outbreak caused by the H1N1 virus, avian influenza, severe acute respiratory syndrome or other epidemic or pandemic outbreaks; returns on pension plan assets and impact of future discount rate changes on pension obligations; competition from original equipment manufacturers and other aerostructures suppliers; the effect of governmental laws, such as U.S. export control laws, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, environmental laws and agency regulations, both in the U.S. and abroad; the cost and availability of raw materials and purchased components; our ability to successfully extend or renegotiate our primary collective bargaining contracts with our labor unions; our ability to recruit and retain highly skilled employees and our relationships with the unions representing many of our employees; spending by the U.S. and other governments on defense; the possibility that our cash flows and borrowing facilities may not be adequate for our additional capital needs or for payment of interest on and principal of our indebtedness and the possibility that we may be unable to borrow additional funds or refinance debt; our exposure under our revolving credit facility to higher interest payments should interest rates increase substantially; the outcome or impact of ongoing or future litigation and regulatory actions; our exposure to potential product liability and warranty claims; and the other factors described under Item 1A, "Risk Factors," of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. These factors are not exhaustive and it is not possible for us to predict all factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in our forward-looking statements. These factors speak only as of the date hereof and new factors may emerge or changes to the foregoing factors may occur that could impact our business.
