Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
($ in millions other than per share amounts)
1. Organization and Basis of Interim Presentation
Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc. (Holdings) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on
February 7, 2005, and commenced operations on June 17, 2005 through the acquisition of The Boeing
Companys (Boeing) operations in Wichita, Kansas, Tulsa, Oklahoma and McAlester, Oklahoma (the
Boeing Acquisition). Holdings provides manufacturing and design expertise in a wide range of
products and services for aircraft original equipment manufacturers and operators through its
subsidiary, Spirit AeroSystems, Inc. (Spirit or the Company). Onex Corporation (Onex) of
Toronto, Canada maintains majority voting power of Holdings. In April 2006, Holdings acquired the
aerostructures division of BAE Systems (Operations) Limited (BAE Aerostructures), which builds
structural components for Airbus, Boeing and Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (formerly Raytheon
Aircraft Company). Prior to this acquisition, Holdings sold essentially all of its production to
Boeing. Since Spirits incorporation, the Company has expanded its customer base to include
Sikorsky, Rolls-Royce, Gulfstream, and Cessna. The Company has its headquarters in Wichita, Kansas,
with manufacturing facilities in Tulsa and McAlester, Oklahoma; Prestwick, Scotland and in Wichita.
Spirit expects to open a new manufacturing facility in Subang, Malaysia in early 2009 and another
manufacturing facility in Kinston, North Carolina in 2010 that will produce components for the A350
XWB aircraft.
Spirit is the majority participant in the Kansas Industrial Energy Supply Company (KIESC), a
tenancy-in-common with other Wichita companies established to purchase natural gas. KIESC is fully
consolidated as Spirit owns 77.8% of the entitys equity.
In November 2007, Spirit entered into a joint venture with Progresstech LTD of Moscow, Russia
called Spirit-Progresstech LLC. Spirit and Progresstech LTD each have a 50% ownership interest in
the company, which provides aerospace engineering consulting services. The investment in
Spirit-Progresstech LLC is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
In April 2008, Spirit entered into a joint venture with Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company
Limited (HAECO), and its subsidiary, Taikoo Aircraft Engineering Company Limited (TAECO),
Oklahoma-based First Wave MRO, Inc., Cathay Pacific Airways Limited, and Cal-Asia to develop and
implement a state-of-the-art composite and metal bond component repair station in the Asia-Pacific
region. The service center will be called Taikoo Spirit AeroSystems Composite Co. Ltd., with
Spirit expected to own 25.5% of the company. The investment in Taikoo Spirit AeroSystems Composite
Co. Ltd. will be accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements include Spirits
financial statements and the financial statements of its majority-owned subsidiaries and have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Investments in business
entities in which the Company does not have control, but has the ability to exercise significant
influence over operating and financial policies (generally 20% to 50% ownership), are accounted for
by the equity method. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. Spirits U.K. subsidiary uses local currency, the British pound, as its functional
currency. All other foreign subsidiaries use local currency as their functional currency with the
exception of our Malaysian subsidiary which uses the British pound.
As part of the monthly consolidation process, the functional currency is translated to U.S.
dollars using the end-of-month translation rate for balance sheet accounts and average period
currency translation rates for revenue and income accounts as defined by SFAS No. 52, Foreign
Currency Translation (as amended).
In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim condensed unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments)
considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods.
The results of operations for the six months ended June 26, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008. Certain reclassifications
have been made to the prior year financial statements and notes to conform to the 2008
presentation. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in our 2007 Annual Report
on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 22, 2008.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies set forth in this report should be read in conjunction
with the significant accounting policies discussed in the notes to the consolidated financial
statements under Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, included in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, as filed with the SEC on February
22, 2008.
Joint Ventures
The investment resulting in a 50% ownership interest in Spirit-Progresstech LLC totaled $1.0
at June 26, 2008 and is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
The investment resulting in a 25.5% ownership interest in Taikoo Spirit AeroSystems Composite
Co. Ltd. will be accounted for under the equity method of accounting when we fund our contribution
in the third quarter of 2008.
Government Grants
As part of our site construction projects in Kinston, North Carolina and Subang, Malaysia, we
have the potential benefit of government grants related to government funding of a portion of these
buildings and other specific capital assets. Due to the terms of the lease agreements, we are
deemed to own the construction projects. During the construction phase of the facilities, as
amounts eligible under the terms of the grants are expended, we will record that spending as
Property, Plant and Equipment (construction in process) and Deferred Grant Income Liability (less
the present value of any future minimum lease payments). Upon completion of the facilities, the
Deferred Grant Income will be amortized as a component of production cost. This
amortization is based on specific terms associated with the different grants. In North Carolina,
the Deferred Grant Income related to the capital investment criteria, which represents half of the grant,
will be amortized over the lives of the assets purchased to satisfy
the capital investment performance criteria. The
other half of the Deferred Grant Income will be amortized over the ten year period in a manner
consistent with the job performance criteria. In Malaysia, the Deferred Grant Income will be
amortized based on the lives of the eligible assets constructed with the grant funds as there are
no performance criteria. As of June 26, 2008, we recorded $7.6 within Property, Plant and Equipment
and Other Long-Term Liabilities (Deferred Grant Income) related to the use of grant funds in
Malaysia. Of the $7.6 of additions, $6.2 represents transactions where funds have been paid
directly to contractors by parties other than Spirit so they are not reflected on the Statement of
Cash Flows. The remaining $1.4 amount was paid to contractors by Spirit and we received
reimbursement from governmental entities so that amount is reflected within Capital Expenditures
and Proceeds from Government Grants within the Investing and Financing sections of the Statement of
Cash Flows, respectively.
New Accounting Standards
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which defines
fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States, and expands disclosures
about fair value measures. It is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with
early adoption encouraged. The provisions of SFAS 157 are to be applied on a prospective basis,
with the exception of certain financial instruments for which retrospective application is
required. On November 14, 2007, the FASB granted a one year
deferral solely for non-financial assets and liabilities to comply with SFAS 157. Financial assets
have been subject to the rule since the original effective date of November 15, 2007. The partial
adoption of SFAS 157 did not affect our financial position or results of operations, but did
require additional disclosures about fair value measurement for financial assets. See Note 8, Fair
Value Measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position Partial Deferral of the
Effective Date of Statement 157 (FSP No. 157-2), which delayed the adoption date until January 1,
2009 for non-financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring
basis, such as goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS
157 for non-financial assets and liabilities to have a material impact on our financial position or
results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, which allows for the
option to measure financial instruments, warranties, and insurance contracts at fair value.
Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported
in earnings. It became effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption
was permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that began on or before November 15, 2007,
provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS 157. On January 1, 2008, we did not
elect to measure any financial assets or liabilities at fair value.
8
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(R), Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)), which
replaces SFAS 141. SFAS 141(R) requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the
liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, and any goodwill acquired to be
measured at their fair value on the acquisition date. The Statement also establishes disclosure
requirements which will enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business
combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The
adoption of SFAS 141(R) will have an impact on accounting for business combinations completed
subsequent to that adoption.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial
Statements an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (SFAS 160), which establishes
accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other
than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the
noncontrolling interest, changes in a parents ownership interest and the valuation of retained
noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The Statement also
establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and
distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners.
SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We do not expect the
adoption of SFAS 160 to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161), which requires disclosures of how
and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items
are accounted for and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys
financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of
SFAS 161 to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (SFAS 162), which identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting
the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of non-governmental entities
that are presented in conformity with GAAP in the United
States (the GAAP hierarchy). This Statement is effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB)
amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles. The adoption of SFAS 162 will not have a material impact on our financial
position or results of operations.

respectively. |
|
(3) |
|
Includes contracted non-recurring services for certain derivative
aircraft programs to be paid by the original equipment manufacturer,
plus miscellaneous other work-in-process. |
Capitalized pre-production costs include certain costs, including applicable overhead,
incurred before a product is manufactured on a recurring basis. These costs are typically recovered
over a certain number of ship set deliveries and the Company believes these amounts will be fully
recovered.
At June 26, 2008, work-in-process inventory included $167.1 of deferred
production costs on certain contracts for the excess of production costs over the estimated average
cost per ship set and $(43.7) of credit balances for favorable variances on other contracts between
actual costs incurred and the estimated average cost per ship set for units delivered under the
current production blocks. These balances were $57.1 and $(50.4), respectively, at December 31,
2007. Recovery of excess over average deferred production costs is dependent on the number of ship
sets ultimately sold and actual selling prices and lower production costs associated with future
production under these contract blocks. The Company believes these amounts will be fully recovered.
Sales significantly under estimates or costs significantly over estimates could result in the
realization of losses on these contracts in future periods.

Interest costs associated with construction-in-progress are capitalized until the assets are
completed and ready for use. Capitalized interest was $1.6 and $1.7 for the three months ended June
26, 2008 and June 28, 2007, respectively, and $3.1 and $3.3 for the six months ended June 26, 2008
and June 28, 2007, respectively. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. We
recognized $27.0 and $25.3 of repair and maintenance expense for the three months ended June 26,
2008 and June 28, 2007, respectively, and $49.6 and $42.7 for the six months ended June 26, 2008
and June 28, 2007, respectively.
6. Long-Term Receivable
In connection with the Boeing Acquisition, Boeing is required to make future non-interest
bearing payments to Spirit attributable to the acquisition of title of various tooling and other
capital assets to be determined by Spirit. Spirit will retain usage rights and custody of the
assets for their remaining useful lives without compensation to Boeing.

Deferred financing costs are recorded net of $12.2 and $10.1 of accumulated amortization at
June 26, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Included in deferred financing fees was an
additional $6.8 of financing costs associated with the March 18, 2008 amendment to the Second
Amended and Restated Credit Facility (see Note 9 below).
The Company recognized $1.2 and $1.3 of amortization expense of intangibles for the three
months ended June 26, 2008 and June 28, 2007, respectively,
and $2.6 for each of the six month periods ended June 26, 2008 and June 28, 2007.
8. Fair Value Measurements
We use derivative financial instruments to manage the economic impact of fluctuations in
currency exchange rates and interest rates. To account for our derivative financial instruments, we
follow the provisions of SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as
amended by SFAS 137 and SFAS 138. Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the
Consolidated Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. Changes
in fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in earnings or accumulated other
comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is effective as part of a hedge
transaction, and if it is, the type of hedge transaction. Gains and losses on derivative
instruments reported in accumulated other comprehensive income are subsequently included in
earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the hedged item or when the hedge is no
longer effective. We present the cash flows associated with our derivatives as a component of the
investing section of the Statement of Cash Flows. Our use of derivatives has generally been
limited to interest rate swaps, but in fiscal year 2006 we also began using derivative instruments to
manage our risk associated with U.S. dollar denominated contracts negotiated by Spirit Europe.
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS 157, which, among other things, requires
enhanced disclosures about assets and liabilities carried at fair value. In February 2008, the
FASB issued Staff Position FSP No. 157-2, Partial Deferral of the Effective Date of Statement 157,
which delayed the adoption date until January 1, 2009 for non-financial assets and liabilities that
are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, such as goodwill and identifiable intangible
assets. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities to have
a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
SFAS 157 defines fair value as the exchange 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 establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of
observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The
standard discloses three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
12
|
|
|
Level 1
|
|
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and
equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an
active exchange market. Quoted market prices are used to measure
fair value for the underlying investments in our money market
fund. |
|
|
|
Level 2
|
|
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices
for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that
are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be
corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full
term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities
include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less
frequently than exchange-traded instruments and derivative
contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with
inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived
principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
Observable inputs, such as current and forward interest rates and
foreign exchange rates, are used in determining the fair value of
our interest rate swaps and foreign currency hedges. |
|
|
|
Level 3
|
|
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market
activity and that are significant to the fair value of assets and
liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities includes financial
instruments whose value is determined using pricing models,
discounted cash flows methodologies, or similar techniques, as
well as instruments for which the determination of fair value
requires significant management judgment or estimation. |

In the second quarter of 2008, the Company recorded an additional $0.3 for the ineffective
portion of the change in fair value of interest rate swaps as a component of Interest Expense
bringing the total amount recorded as Interest Expense to $0.6 in the first half of 2008. The
ineffective portion of the change in fair value for the foreign currency hedges was immaterial at
June 26, 2008.
9. Debt
In connection with the Boeing Acquisition, Spirit executed an $875.0 credit agreement that
consisted of a $700.0 senior secured term loan used to fund the acquisition and pay all related
fees and expenses associated with the acquisition and the credit agreement, and a $175.0 senior
secured revolving credit facility. On November 27, 2006, the credit agreement was amended to, among
other things, increase the revolving credit facility to $400.0. Commitment fees associated with the
revolver total 50 basis points on the undrawn amount and 225 basis points on letters of credit. On
March 18, 2008, Spirit entered into an amendment (the Amendment) to its Second Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement dated as of November 27, 2006 (as amended). As a result of the
Amendment, the revolving credit facility and the $700.0 term loan B were amended to, among other
things, (i) increase the amount of the revolver from $400.0 to $650.0, (ii) increase from $75.0 to
$200.0 the amount of indebtedness Spirit and its subsidiaries can incur on a consolidated basis to
finance acquisition of capital assets, (iii) add a provision allowing Spirit and Spirit Holdings to
have additional indebtedness outstanding of up to $300.0, (iv) add a provision allowing Spirit and
its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis the ability to make investments in joint ventures not to
exceed a total of $50.0 at any given time, and (v) modify the definition of Change of Control to
exclude certain circumstances that previously would have been considered a Change of Control. The
maturity date and interest cost of both our senior secured term loan and revolving credit facility
remains unchanged. At June 26, 2008, the Company had no outstanding loans under the revolving credit facility. The entire asset classes of the
Company, including inventory and property, plant and equipment, are pledged as collateral for both
the term loan and the revolving credit facility.

Malaysian Term Loan
On June 2, 2008, Spirits wholly owned subsidiary, Spirit AeroSystems Malaysia SDN BHD
(Spirit Malaysia) entered into a Facility Agreement (Facility Agreement) for a term loan
facility of Ringgit Malaysia (RM) 69.2 (approximately USD $20.0) (the Facility), with EXIM Bank to
be used towards partial financing of plant and equipment (including the acquisition of production
equipment), materials, inventory and administrative costs associated with the establishment of an
aerospace-related composite component assembly plant, plus potential additional work packages in
Malaysia at the Malaysia International Aerospace Center in Subang, Selangor, Malaysia (the
Project). Funds for the Project will be available on a drawdown basis over a twenty-four month
period from the date of the Facility Agreement. Spirit Malaysia is scheduled to make periodic
draws against the Facility.
The indebtedness repayment requires quarterly principal installments of RM 3.3 (USD $1.0) from
September 2011 through May 2017, or until the entire loan principal has been repaid.
Outstanding amounts drawn under the Facility are subject to a fixed interest rate of 3.5% per
annum, payable quarterly.

Changes Required by SFAS 158
As outlined in Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 22,
2008 for the period ending December 31, 2007, SFAS 158 requires that we change our measurement date
from November 30 to the fiscal year-end, December 31, by year-end 2008. Spirit has elected to
apply the transition option under which a 13-month measurement was determined as of November 30,
2007 that covers the period until the fiscal year-end measurement is required on December 31, 2008.
As a result, an adjustment to retained earnings was recorded in the first half of fiscal year-end
2008 as follows: pension $3.2 and other post-retirement benefits ($0.3), resulting in a net
adjustment of $1.8, net of $1.1 in tax.
Employer Contributions
We expect to contribute zero dollars to the U.S. qualified pension plan and less than $0.1 to
both the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) and post-retirement medical plans in 2008.
As of June 26, 2008, our projected contributions to the U.K. pension plan for 2008 were $9.9, of
which $5.1 was contributed during the first six months of 2008. We anticipate contributing the
additional $4.8 to the U.K. pension plan during the remainder of 2008. In addition, $0.6 was
contributed to the U.K. pension plan in January 2008 for the
2007 plan year. The entire amount contributed and the projected
contributions can vary based on exchange rate fluctuations.
11. Stock Compensation
Holdings has established various stock compensation plans which include restricted share
grants and stock purchase plans. Compensation values are based on the value of Holdings common
stock at the grant date. The common stock value is added to equity and charged to period expense or
included in inventory and cost of sales.
For
the three months ended June 26, 2008, Holdings recognized a net
total of $3.8 of stock
compensation expense, which is net of $0.2 resulting from stock forfeitures, as compared to
$14.4 of stock compensation expense, net of forfeitures, recognized for the three months ended June
28, 2007. For the six months ended June 26, 2008, Holdings has
recognized a net total of $7.5 of stock
compensation expense, which is net of $0.5 resulting from stock forfeitures, as compared to
$21.0 of stock compensation expense, net of forfeitures, recognized for the six months ended June
28, 2007.
Of the total $3.8 of net stock compensation expense recorded for the three months ended June
26, 2008, $3.7 was recorded as an expense in selling, general and administrative expense while the
remaining $0.1 was capitalized in inventory and is recognized through cost of sales consistent with
the accounting methods we follow in accordance with SOP 81-1. Of the
total $7.5 of net stock
compensation expense recorded year-to-date, $7.3 was recorded as an expense in selling, general and
administrative expense while the remaining $0.2 was capitalized in inventory and is recognized
through cost of sales.
The restricted class B common stock grants that occurred after the Boeing Acquisition were
approximately 790,230 under the Short-Term Incentive Plan, 141,941 under the Long-Term Incentive
Plan, 9,392,652 under the Executive Incentive Plan, and 390,000 under the Director Stock Plan.
In April 2008, the Director Stock Plan, Short-Term Incentive Plan, and Long-Term Incentive
Plan were amended such that all future stock grants under those plans would consist of class A
shares. In addition, the Short-Term Incentive Plan and the Long-Term Incentive Plan were amended to
increase the number of shares available for grant thereunder by
2,000,000 and 3,000,000 shares, respectively. In May 2008, the
15
Board of Directors authorized grants of approximately 327,511
shares of class A common stock under the Long-Term Incentive Plan and 20,816 shares under the
Director Stock Plan. The first anticipated grant of class A shares under the Short-Term Incentive
Plan is anticipated to be in February of 2009 for 2008 performance. The aggregate fair value of
vested class B shares was $61.0 and $58.2 at June 26, 2008 and June 28, 2007, respectively, based
on the market value of Holdings common stock on those dates.
Board of Directors Stock Awards
This plan provides non-employee directors the opportunity to receive grants of restricted
shares of class A common stock, that vest one year from the grant date, or Restricted Stock Units
(RSUs) of class A common stock, that vest upon the later of one year from the grant date or the
Directors separation from service, or both stock and stock units. The maximum aggregate number of
shares that may be granted to participants is 3,000,000 shares. In April 2008, the Director Stock
Plan was amended such that all issuance of stock pursuant to the plan after that date would be
grants of class A common stock or RSUs. All shares granted prior to April 2008 were class B common
stock.
For
each non-employee Director of Holdings, one-half of their annual director compensation
will be paid in the form of a grant of class A common stock and/or class A common RSUs, as elected
by each Director. In addition, each Director may elect to have all or any portion of the
remainder of their annual director compensation paid in cash or in the form of a grant of stock
and/or RSUs. In addition to this, the Board of Directors or its authorized committee may make
discretionary grants of shares or RSUs from time to time.
Holdings restricted class A common stock valued at $0.6 was granted to members of the
Holdings Board of Directors in May 2008 based on the value of Holdings common stock at the grant
date. If participants cease to serve as Directors within a year of the grant, the restricted
shares are forfeited. Holdings expensed $0.1, and zero during the periods ended June 26, 2008, and
June 28, 2007, respectively.
The following table summarizes stock and RSU grants to members of the Holdings Board of
Directors for the periods ended December 31, 2007 and June 26, 2008:

Short-Term Incentive Plan
The Short-Term Incentive Plan enables eligible employees to receive incentive benefits in the
form of restricted stock in Holdings, cash, or both, as determined by the Board of Directors or its
authorized committee. The stock portion vests one year from the date of grant. Restricted shares
are forfeited if the employees employment terminates prior to vesting. In April 2008, the
Short-Term Incentive Plan was amended such that all issuance of stock pursuant to the plan after
that date would be grants of class A common stock and to increase by 2,000,000 the number of shares
available for grant thereunder. All shares granted prior to April 2008 were class B common stock.
In the first quarter of 2008, we recognized $0.9 of expense related to the shares granted
under the Short-Term Incentive Plan for 2006 performance, which fully vested twelve months from the
grant date. For the 2007 plan year, 149,576 shares with a value of
$4.2 were granted on February 22, 2008 and will vest on the
one-year anniversary of the grant date. Holdings expensed $1.0 and $1.5 for the three and six months
16
ended June 26, 2008, respectively, for
the 2007 plan year grant. The 2007 cash award of $3.9 was expensed in 2007 and paid in 2008. The
intrinsic value of the unvested shares at June 26, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was $3.0 and $8.0,
respectively, based on the value of Holdings common stock and the number of unvested shares.

Long-Term Incentive Plan
The Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) is designed to encourage retention of key employees.
In April 2008, the Long-Term Incentive Plan was amended such that all issuance of stock pursuant to
the plan after that date would be grants of class A common stock and to increase by 3,000,000 the
number of shares available for grant thereunder. All shares granted prior to April 2008 were class
B common stock.
For shares granted in 2007, one-half of the granted restricted shares of class B common stock
vest on the second anniversary of the grant date, and the other half vest on the fourth anniversary
of the grant date. Restricted shares are forfeited if the employees employment terminates prior to
vesting. In the first quarter of 2007, 67,391 shares valued at $2.0 were granted. Holdings expensed
$0.1 and $0.2 for the unvested class B LTIP shares in the three and six months ended June 26, 2008,
respectively. The intrinsic value of the unvested class B LTIP shares at June 26, 2008 and December
31, 2007 was $1.3 and $2.1, respectively, based on the value of Holdings common stock and the
number of unvested shares.
In May 2008, 327,511 class A shares valued at $9.4 were granted. Holdings expensed $0.3 for
the unvested class A LTIP shares in the three months ended June 26, 2008. Within the May 2008 LTIP
grant were three groups of stock, each with a unique vesting schedule. The first group of shares
vests over three years, with one-third vesting annually beginning in 2009. The second and third
groups also vest in one-third increments, but vesting begins on the second and third anniversary of
the grant, respectively. The vesting schedule for the 2008 grant is as follows:

12. Income Taxes
The process for calculating our income tax expense involves estimating actual current taxes
due plus assessing temporary differences arising from differing treatment for tax and accounting
purposes that are recorded as deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are
periodically evaluated to determine their recoverability. The total net deferred tax assets as of
June 26, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were $74.2 and $74.1, respectively.
We file income tax returns in all jurisdictions in which we operate. We established reserves
to provide for additional income taxes that may be due in future years as these previously filed
tax returns are audited. These reserves have been established based on managements assessment as
to the potential exposure attributable to permanent differences and interest applicable to both
permanent and temporary differences. All tax reserves are analyzed periodically and adjustments
made as events occur that warrant modification.
In general, the Company records income tax expense during the interim periods based on its
best estimate of the full years effective tax rate. Certain items, however, are given discrete
period treatment and, as a result, the tax effects of such items are reported in the relevant
interim period. The Companys effective tax rate was 33.75% for the six months ended June 26, 2008
compared to 33.10% for the same period in 2007. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June
26, 2008 was slightly higher than the same period in 2007 due to the U.S. Research and
Experimentation Tax Credits expiration effective December 31, 2007, partially offset by an
increase in the Domestic Production Activities Deduction and state income tax credits. The 33.75%
estimated annualized effective rate may, however, fluctuate due to discrete events and changes to
the Companys liability assessment for uncertain tax positions.
The Companys 2005 and 2006 U.S. Federal income tax returns are scheduled for examination. The
Company reasonably expects no material change in its recorded unrecognized tax benefit liability in
the next 12 months.

14. Related Party Transactions
On March 26, 2007, Hawker Beechcraft, Inc. (Hawker), of which Onex Partners II LP (an
affiliate of Onex) owns approximately a 49% interest, acquired Raytheon Aircraft Acquisition
Company and substantially all of the assets of Raytheon Aircraft Services Limited. Spirits
Prestwick facility provides wing components for the Hawker 800 Series manufactured by Hawker. For
the three months ended June 26, 2008 and June 28, 2007, sales to Hawker were $7.4 and $6.3,
respectively. Sales to Hawker were $12.5 for each of the six month
periods ended June 26, 2008 and June 28, 2007.
A member of the Holdings Board of Directors is also a member of the Board of Directors of
Hawker.
Since February 2007, an executive of the Company has been a member of the Board of Directors
of one of Spirits suppliers, Precision Castparts Corp. of Portland, Oregon, a manufacturer of
complex metal components and products. For the three months ended June 26, 2008 and June 28, 2007,
the Company purchased $15.2 and $19.2 of products, respectively, from this supplier. For the six
months ended June 26, 2008 and June 28, 2007, the Company purchased $32.9 and $37.6 of products,
respectively, from this supplier.
A member of Holdings Board of Directors is the president and chief executive officer of
Aviall, Inc., the parent company of one of our customers, Aviall Services, Inc. and a wholly owned
subsidiary of Boeing. On September 18, 2006, Spirit entered into a distribution agreement with
Aviall Services, Inc. Net revenues under the distribution agreement were $1.3 and $0.9 for the
three months ended June 26, 2008 and June 28, 2007, respectively, and $2.9 and $2.6 for the six
months ended June 26, 2008 and June 28, 2007, respectively.
The Company paid $0.2 and less than $0.1 for the three months ended June 26, 2008 and June 28,
2007, respectively, to a subsidiary of Onex for services rendered. Management believes the amounts
charged were reasonable in relation to the services provided.
19
Boeing owns and operates significant information technology systems utilized by the Company
and, as required under the acquisition agreement for the Boeing Acquisition, is providing those
systems and support services to Spirit under a Transition Services Agreement. A number of services
covered by the Transition Services Agreement have now been established by the Company, and the
Company is scheduled to continue to use the remaining systems and support services it has not yet
established. The Company incurred fees of $6.6 and $5.6 for services performed for the three months
ended June 26, 2008 and June 28, 2007, respectively, and $12.4 and $12.0 for the six months ended
June 26, 2008 and June 28, 2007, respectively. These amounts included accrued liabilities of $2.1
and $1.9 at June 26, 2008 and June 28, 2007, respectively.
The spouse of one of the Companys executives is a special counsel at a law firm utilized by
the Company and at which the executive was previously employed. The Company paid fees of $0.3 and
$0.4 to the firm for the three month periods ended June 26, 2008 and June 28, 2007, respectively,
and $0.9 and $1.0 for the six months ended June 26, 2008 and June 28, 2007, respectively.
An executive of the Company is a member of the Board of Directors of a Wichita, Kansas bank
that provides banking services to Spirit. In connection with the banking services provided to
Spirit, the Company pays fees consistent with commercial terms that would be available to unrelated
third parties. Such fees are not material to Spirit.
15. Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees
Litigation
We are from time to time subject to, and are presently involved in, litigation or other legal
proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the final outcome of these matters
cannot be predicted with certainty, considering, among other things, the meritorious legal defenses
available, it is the opinion of the Company that none of these items, when finally resolved, will
have a material adverse effect on the Companys long-term financial position or liquidity.
Consistent with the requirements of SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies, we had no accruals at
June 26, 2008 or December 31, 2007 for loss contingencies. However, an unexpected adverse
resolution of one or more of these items could have a material adverse effect on the results of
operations in a particular quarter or fiscal year.
From time to time, in the ordinary course of business and like others in the industry, we
receive requests for information from government agencies in connection with their regulatory or
investigational authority. Such requests can include subpoenas or demand letters for documents to
assist the government in audits or investigations. We review such requests and notices and take
appropriate action. We have been subject to certain requests for information and investigations in
the past and could be subject to such requests for information and investigations in the future.
Additionally, we are subject to federal and state requirements for protection of the environment,
including those for disposal of hazardous waste and remediation of contaminated sites. As a result,
we are required to participate in certain government investigations regarding environmental
remediation actions.
In 2005, a lawsuit was filed against Spirit, Onex, and Boeing alleging age discrimination in
the hiring of employees by Spirit when Boeing sold its Wichita commercial division to Onex. The
complaint was filed in U.S. District Court in Wichita, Kansas and seeks class-action status, an
unspecified amount of compensatory damages and more than $1.5 billion in punitive damages. The
Asset Purchase Agreement requires Spirit to indemnify Boeing for damages resulting from the
employment decisions that were made by us with respect to former employees of the commercial
aerostructures manufacturing operations at Boeing (Boeing Wichita) which relate or allegedly
relate to the involvement of, or consultation with, employees of Boeing in such employment
decisions. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter. Management believes the
resolution of this matter will not materially affect the Companys financial position, results of
operations or liquidity.
On December 22, 2006, a lawsuit was filed against Spirit, Boeing, Onex and the International
Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW) alleging
age, disability, sex and race discrimination as well as breach of the duty of fair representation,
retaliatory discharge, violation of FMLA (retaliation) and the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act (ERISA), arising out of Spirits failure to hire eight former Boeing employees at the
McAlester, Oklahoma facility. The complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court in the Eastern
District of Oklahoma. At Court-ordered mediation on February 28 and 29, 2008, the individual cases
were settled by the parties. The settlements do not have a material adverse effect on the Companys
financial position or liquidity.
In December 2005, a federal grand jury sitting in Topeka, Kansas issued subpoenas regarding
the vapor degreasing equipment at our Wichita, Kansas facility. The governments investigation
appeared to focus on whether the degreasers were operating within permit parameters and whether
chemical wastes from the degreasers were disposed of properly. The subpoenas covered a time period
both before and after our purchase of the Wichita, Kansas facility. Subpoenas were issued to
Boeing, Spirit and individuals who were employed by Boeing prior to
the Boeing Acquisition, but are now employed by us. We
responded to the subpoena and provided additional information to the
government as
20
requested. On March 25,
2008, the U.S. Attorneys Office informed the Company that it was closing its criminal file on the
investigation. The Company has no present indication that any civil investigation is ongoing.
Airbus filed oppositions to six European patents originally issued to or applied for by Boeing
and acquired by Spirit in the Boeing Acquisition. Airbus claimed that the subject matter in these
patents was not patentable because of a lack of novelty and a lack of inventive activity.
For two of the patents, oral proceedings before a three panel board of the European Patent
Office (EPO) were held in May 2005. In one case, the patent was maintained without amendments to
the claims. On the second patent, the board accepted the claims with limitation and Spirit
appealed. Airbus did not file an admissible appeal in either of the adverse decisions. Therefore,
for the first patent, the opposition is complete, the patent is maintained as granted, and nothing
further will be done. For the second patent wherein Spirit appealed the EPOs Opposition Boards
findings, Spirit may now either continue its appeal or accept the claim limitations.
For a third patent, Oral Proceedings were held on December 13, 2007. The EPOs Opposition
Board accepted certain claim limitations, and therefore, the patent is maintained with limitations.
Spirit has not yet determined whether it plans to appeal this decision.
Spirit and Airbus entered into an agreement in December 2007, wherein Airbus agreed to
withdraw all of its pending oppositions, including the three remaining oppositions for which oral
proceedings had not yet been held. Airbus subsequently proceeded to do so. The EPO notified
Spirits European counsel that it will not proceed with the opposition for two of the three pending
oppositions. Spirit is awaiting a decision from the EPO regarding the final opposition.
On February 16, 2007, an action entitled Harkness et al. v. The Boeing Company et al. was
filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas. The defendants were served in early
April. Holdings, The Spirit AeroSystems Retirement Plan for the International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers (IBEW), Wichita Engineering Unit (SPEEA WEU) and Wichita Technical Professional
Unit (SPEEA WTPU) employees and The Spirit AeroSystems Retirement Plan for International
Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) employees, along with The Boeing Company and
Boeing retirement and health plan entities, were sued by 12 former Boeing employees, eight of whom
were or are employees of Spirit. The plaintiffs assert several claims under ERISA and general
contract law and purport to bring the case as a class action on behalf of similarly situated
individuals. The putative sub-class members who have asserted claims against the Spirit entities
are those individuals who, as of June 2005, were employed by Boeing in Wichita, Kansas, were
participants in the Boeing pension plan, had at least 10 years of vesting service in the Boeing
plan, were in jobs represented by a union, were between the ages of 49 and 55 and who went to work
for Spirit on or about June 17, 2005. Although there are many claims in the suit, the plaintiffs
claims against the Spirit entities are that the Spirit plans wrongfully have failed to determine
that certain plaintiffs are entitled to early retirement bridging rights allegedly triggered by
their separation from employment by Boeing and that the plaintiffs pension benefits were
unlawfully transferred from Boeing to Spirit in that their claimed early retirement bridging
rights are not being afforded these individuals as a result of their separation from Boeing,
thereby decreasing their benefits. The plaintiffs seek certification of a class, declaration that
they are entitled to the early retirement benefits, an injunction ordering that the defendants
provide the benefits, damages pursuant to breach of contract claims and attorney fees. At this
time, the Company does not have enough information to make any predictions about the outcome of
this matter. However, management believes that any outcome that does result from this matter will
not have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations or
liquidity.
Guarantees
Contingent liabilities in the form of letters of credit, letters of guarantee and performance
bonds have been provided by the Company. These letters of credit reduce the amount of borrowings
available under the revolving credit facility. As of June 26, 2008 and December 31, 2007, $14.1
and $12.4 was outstanding in respect of these guarantees, respectively.
Service and Product Warranties
The Company provides service and warranty policies on its products. Liabilities under service
and warranty policies are based upon specific claims and a review of historical warranty and
service claim experience. Adjustments are made to accruals based on
claim data changes and historical experience. In addition, the Company incurs discretionary costs to service its products in connection
with product performance issues.

16. Segment Information
Spirit operates in three principal segments: Fuselage Systems, Propulsion Systems and Wing
Systems. The majority of revenues in the three principal segments are with Boeing, with the
exception of Wing Systems, which includes revenues from Airbus and other customers. All other
activities fall within the All Other segment, principally made up of sundry sales of miscellaneous
services and KIESC. The Companys primary profitability measure to review a segments operating
performance is segment operating income before unallocated corporate selling, general and
administrative expenses and unallocated research and development. Unallocated corporate selling,
general and administrative expenses include centralized functions such as accounting, treasury and
human resources that are not specifically related to our operating segments and are not allocated
in measuring the operating segments profitability and performance and operating margins.
Spirits Fuselage Systems segment includes development, production and marketing of forward,
mid and rear fuselage sections and systems, primarily to aircraft OEMs, as well as related spares
and maintenance, repairs and overhaul, or MRO services.
Spirits Propulsion Systems segment includes development, production and marketing of
struts/pylons, nacelles (including thrust reversers) and related engine structural components
primarily to aircraft or engine OEMs, as well as related spares and MRO services.
Spirits Wing Systems segment includes development, production and marketing of wings and wing
components (including flight control surfaces) as well as other miscellaneous structural parts
primarily to aircraft OEMs, as well as related spares and MRO services. These activities take place
at the Companys facilities in Tulsa and McAlester, Oklahoma and Prestwick, Scotland.
The Companys segments are consistent with the organization and responsibilities of management
reporting to the chief operating decision-maker for the purpose of assessing performance. The
Companys definition of segment operating income differs from operating income as presented in its
primary financial statements and a reconciliation of the segment and consolidated results is
provided in the table set forth below. Most selling, general and administrative expenses, and all
interest expense or income, related financing costs and income tax amounts, are not allocated to
the operating segments.
While some working capital accounts are maintained on a segment basis, much of the Companys
assets are not managed or maintained on a segment basis. Property, plant and equipment, including
tooling, is used in the design and production of products for each of the segments and, therefore,
is not allocated to any individual segment. In addition, cash, prepaid expenses, other assets and
deferred taxes are managed and maintained on a consolidated basis and generally do not pertain to
any particular segment. Raw materials and certain component parts are used in the production of
aerostructures across all segments. Work-in-process inventory is identifiable by segment, but is
managed and evaluated at the program level. As there is no segmentation of the Companys productive
assets, depreciation expense (included in fixed manufacturing costs and selling, general and
administrative expenses) and capital expenditures, no allocation of these amounts has been made
solely for purposes of segment disclosure requirements.

Recent Events
On July 7, 2008, Spirit AeroSystems (Europe) Limited (Spirit Europe) announced that it had
signed a contract with Airbus to design and produce a major wing structure for the A350 XWB
program. Spirit Europe will design and assemble the wing leading edge structure primarily at its
facility in Prestwick, Scotland. The Composite Front Spar will be built at Spirits recently
announced Kinston, North Carolina site with composite sub-assemblies being manufactured at the
Spirit AeroSystems Malaysia Sdn Bhd (Spirit Malaysia) Facility at Subang, Malaysia. In addition,
Spirit Europe announced that it had reached an agreement with Airbus to extend its existing
contract to supply leading and trailing edges and other wing structures on the A319, A320, and A321
aircraft family at its Prestwick facility from 2011 until 2015. The total value of the extended
agreement is expected to be $1.7 billion.
On May 14, 2008, Spirit announced that it had signed a contract with Airbus to design and
produce a major composite fuselage structure for the A350 XWB program with a total contract value
expected to be $2.75 billion over the life of the program. To accommodate this and other work,
Spirit announced plans to expand its operations with a new facility in Kinston, North Carolina.
Construction of the new facility will begin late this year with operations expected to commence in
2010. Total investment, which includes design engineering, tooling,
land, building, infrastructure, and capital equipment, is expected to be approximately $700 million over seven years
shared by Spirit, Airbus, suppliers, and local government.
On April 25, 2008, Spirit announced its participation in a joint venture partnership called
Taikoo Spirit AeroSystems Composite Co. Ltd., between several major aviation companies to develop
and implement a state-of-the-art composite and metal bond component repair station in the
Asia-Pacific region. The new service center will be located in Jinjiang, China and will provide
repair services for airlines and aircraft operators across the Asia-Pacific region.
On April 9, 2008, Boeing announced a revised schedule for the first flight and initial
deliveries of the B787 Dreamliner. The date of first flight was projected to occur in the fourth
quarter of 2008 rather than the end of the second quarter of 2008, and initial deliveries were
rescheduled for the third quarter of 2009 from the first quarter of 2009.
Overview
We are the largest independent non-OEM (OEM refers to aircraft original equipment
manufacturer) parts designer and manufacturer of commercial aerostructures in the world.
Aerostructures are structural components, such as fuselages, propulsion systems and wing systems
for commercial, military and business jet aircraft. We derive our revenues primarily through
long-term supply agreements with Boeing, Airbus, and various business jet and other aerospace
customers. For the three months ended June 26, 2008, we generated net revenues of $1,062.1 million
and net income of $86.4 million and for the six months ended June 26, 2008, we generated net
revenues of $2,098.5 million and net income of $171.6 million.
We are organized into three principal reporting segments: (1) Fuselage Systems, which include
the forward, mid and rear fuselage sections, (2) Propulsion Systems, which include nacelles,
struts/pylons and engine structural components, and (3) Wing Systems, which include facilities in
Tulsa and McAlester, Oklahoma and Prestwick, Scotland that manufacture wings, wing components,
flight control surfaces, and other miscellaneous structural parts. All other activities fall within
the All Other segment, principally made up of sundry sales of miscellaneous services and sales of
natural gas through a tenancy-in-common with other Wichita companies. Fuselage Systems, Propulsion
Systems, Wing Systems and All Other represented approximately 53%, 28%, 19% and less than 1%,
respectively, of our segment operating income before unallocated corporate expenses for the three
months ended June 26, 2008. Fuselage Systems, Propulsion Systems, Wing Systems and All Other
represented approximately 53%, 27%, 19% and 1%, respectively, of our segment operating income
before unallocated corporate expenses for the six months ended June 26, 2008.

Effective tax rate guidance assumes the benefit
of a retroactive extension to the U.S. research tax credit. |
Our 2008 outlook is based on the following market assumptions:
|
|
|
Our revenue guidance for the full-year 2008 remains unchanged and is expected to be
approximately $4.4 billion based on 2008 Boeing delivery guidance of 475-480 aircraft, 2008
Airbus delivery guidance of approximately 470 aircraft, and internal Spirit forecasts
for other products as well as revenue associated with non-recurring development work. |
|
|
|
|
Fully diluted earnings per share guidance for 2008 has increased to be between $2.35 and
$2.45 to reflect improved performance in the first half of 2008 and current expectations for the second half of 2008. |
|
|
|
|
Effective December 31, 2007, the U.S. Research and Experimentation tax credit expired.
While there has been legislative activity to retroactively extend this credit, no bill has
been signed into law. We have assumed the U.S. Research and Experimentation Tax Credit will
be reinstated retroactively to January 1, 2008, and this assumption has been reflected in
our effective tax rate 2008 outlook. |
|
|
|
|
Cash flow from operations full-year guidance is unchanged and is expected to be
approximately $400 million. Capital expenditures guidance for 2008 is unchanged and is
expected to be approximately $275 million. |

For purposes of measuring production or deliveries for Boeing aircraft in a given period, the
term ship set refers to sets of structural fuselage components produced or delivered in such
period. For purposes of measuring production or deliveries for Airbus aircraft in a given period,
the term ship set refers to sets of wing components produced or delivered in such period. Other
components which are part of the same aircraft ship sets could be produced or shipped in earlier or
later accounting periods than the components used to measure production or deliveries, which may
result in slight variations in production or delivery quantities of the various ship set components
in any given period.
Comparative ship set deliveries by model are as follows:

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 26, 2008 and June 28, 2007
Net Revenues. Net revenues for the three months ended June 26, 2008 were $1,062.1 million, an
increase of $103.3 million, or 11%, compared with net revenues of $958.8 million for the same
period in the prior year due to increased deliveries on Boeing and Airbus programs. Deliveries to
Boeing increased from 115 ship sets during the second quarter of 2007 to 128 ship sets in the
second quarter of 2008, an 11% increase. In addition, deliveries to Airbus increased from 105
ship sets during the second quarter of 2007 to 118 ship sets in the second quarter of 2008, a 12%
increase. In total, in the second quarter of 2008, we delivered 270 ship sets compared to 235 ship
sets delivered for the same period in the prior year, a 15% increase. Approximately 97% of
Spirits net revenues for the second quarter 2008 came from our two largest customers, Boeing and
Airbus.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues was 82% for the three months
ended June 26, 2008 and June 28, 2007. During the second quarter of 2008, Spirit updated its
contract profitability estimates resulting in a favorable cumulative catch-up adjustment of $4.0
million driven primarily by favorable cost trends within the Fuselage
Systems segments current contract
blocks, as compared to a $3.4 million favorable cumulative catch-up adjustment recorded in the
second quarter of 2007, driven primarily by favorable cost trends
within the Propulsion Systems segment.
Selling, General and Administrative. SG&A as a percentage of net revenue for the three months
ended June 26, 2008 was 4% as compared to 6% for the same period in the prior year. SG&A expenses
for the three months ended June 26, 2008 were lower as a percentage of net revenue due to a
decrease in non-cash stock compensation expense and minimal transition related costs. In the
second quarter of 2008, we recognized $3.8 million in stock compensation expense as compared to
$14.4 million during the second quarter of 2007. Included in the 2007 amount was $7.0 million of
stock compensation expense related to the secondary offering. The total amount of expense related
to the secondary offering included in SG&A was $9.6 million.
Research and Development. R&D costs as a percentage of net revenues were approximately 1% for
the three months ended June 26, 2008 and June 28, 2007. Total R&D costs declined $3.1 million, or
23%, primarily due to a reduction in R&D spending on new programs. R&D spending on technical
development projects has remained constant in recent periods.
Operating Income. Operating income for the three months ended June 26, 2008 was $136.1
million, an increase of $34.0 million, or 33%, compared to operating income of $102.1 million for
the same period in the prior year. The increase was driven by additional gross profit from greater
sales volume and lower SG&A and R&D expenses, as compared to the second quarter of 2007.
26
Interest Expense and Financing Fee Amortization. Interest expense and financing fee
amortization for the three months ended June 26, 2008 includes
$7.6 million of interest and fees
paid or accrued in connection with long-term debt and $2.9 million in amortization of deferred
financing costs as compared to $8.9 million of interest and fees paid or accrued in connection with
long-term debt and $0.6 million in amortization of deferred financing costs for the same period in
the prior year. The increase of $1.0 million as compared to the second quarter of 2007 primarily
resulted from an increase in amortizable costs associated with the amendment and restatement of our
senior credit facility on March 18, 2008.
Interest
Income. Interest income for the three months ended June 26, 2008 consisted of $4.4
million of accretion of the discounted long-term receivable from Boeing for capital expense
reimbursement pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement for the Boeing
Acquisition and $0.6 million
in interest income as compared to $5.4 million of accretion of the discounted long-term receivable
and $1.8 million of interest income for the same period in the prior year. As we receive additional
payments on the receivable, the amount of accretion will decrease.
Provision for Income Taxes. The income tax provision for the three months ended June 26, 2008
included $40.6 million for federal income taxes, $2.0 million for state taxes, and $1.8 million for
foreign taxes. The income tax provision for the three months ended June 28, 2007 included $30.7
million for federal income taxes, $1.1 million for state taxes, and $1.8 million for foreign taxes.
The 33.9% effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 26, 2008 differs from the
33.1% effective income tax rate for the same period in the prior year primarily due to the U.S.
Research and Experimentation Tax Credits expiration effective December 31, 2007, partially offset
by an increase in the Domestic Production Activities Deduction and state income tax credits.
Segments. We are organized into three principal reporting segments: (1) Fuselage Systems,
which include the forward, mid and rear fuselage sections, (2) Propulsion Systems, which include
nacelles, struts/pylons and engine structural components and (3) Wing Systems, which include
facilities in Tulsa and McAlester, Oklahoma and Prestwick, Scotland that manufacture wings, wing
components, flight control surfaces, and other miscellaneous structural parts. All other activities
fall within the All Other segment, principally made up of sundry sales of miscellaneous services
and sales of natural gas through a tenancy-in-common with other Wichita companies.

expenses for the three months ended June 26, 2008 compared to the three months ended June 28, 2007:

Improvements to segment net revenues and operating income before unallocated corporate
expenses for the three months ended June 26, 2008 compared to the three months ended June 28, 2007
were driven by higher deliveries and lower expenses, primarily R&D associated with new programs.
Fuselage Systems, Propulsion Systems, Wing Systems and All Other represented approximately 46%,
28%, 25% and 1%, respectively, of our net revenues for the three months ended June 26, 2008. Net
revenues attributable to Airbus are recorded in the Wing Systems segment. Fuselage Systems,
Propulsion Systems, Wing Systems and All Other represented approximately 53%, 28%, 19% and less
than 1%, respectively, of our segment operating income before unallocated corporate expenses for
the three months ended June 26, 2008.
27
Fuselage Systems. Fuselage Systems segment net revenues for the three months ended June 26,
2008 were $493.4 million, an increase of $43.7 million, or 10%, over the same period in the prior
year. This reflects an increase in Boeing B737, B747 and B777 model production volumes in support
of customer deliveries. Fuselage Systems posted segment operating margins of 19% for the three
months ended June 26, 2008, up from 18% in the same period of 2007 driven primarily due to lower
fringe benefit costs recognized in the second quarter of 2008.
Propulsion Systems. Propulsion Systems segment net revenues for the three months ended June
26, 2008 were $296.9 million, an increase of $37.7 million, or 15%, over the same period in the
prior year. This reflects an increase in Boeing B737, B747 and B777 model production volumes in
support of customer deliveries. Propulsion Systems posted segment operating margins of 17% for the
second quarters of 2008 and 2007.
Wing Systems. Wing Systems segment net revenues for the three months ended June 26, 2008 were
$264.4 million, an increase of $19.0 million, or 8%, over the same period in the prior year due to
higher deliveries to Boeing. Wing Systems posted segment operating margins of 12% for
the second quarters of 2008 and 2007.
All Other. The All Other net revenues consist of sundry sales and miscellaneous services, and
revenues from the Kansas Industrial Energy Supply Company, or KIESC. The $2.9 million increase in
net revenues for the three months ended June 26, 2008, compared to the three months ended June 28,
2007, was primarily driven by greater tooling sales.
Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 26, 2008 and June 28, 2007
Net Revenues. Net revenues for the six months ended June 26, 2008 were $2,098.5 million, an
increase of $185.6 million, or 10%, compared with net revenues of $1,912.9 million for the same
period in the prior year. The increase in net revenues is primarily attributable to increased
deliveries on Boeing and Airbus programs. Deliveries to Boeing increased from 227 ship sets during
the six months ended June 28, 2007 to 249 ship sets in the six months ended June 26, 2008, a 10%
increase. In addition, deliveries to Airbus increased from 220 ship sets during the second quarter
of 2007 to 241 ship sets in the second quarter of 2008, a 10% increase. In total, for the six
months ended June 26, 2008, we delivered 529 ship sets compared to 478 ship sets delivered for the
same period in the prior year, an 11% increase. Approximately 98% of Spirits net revenues for the
six months ended June 26, 2008 came from our two largest customers, Boeing and Airbus.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues was 83% for the six month
periods ended June 26, 2008 and June 28, 2007. During the first six months of 2008, Spirit updated
its contract profitability estimates resulting in a favorable cumulative catch-up adjustment of
$4.8 million driven primarily by favorable cost trends within the Fuselage and Wing Systems
segments current contract blocks, as compared to $11.3 million of favorable cumulative catch-up
adjustment recorded in the first six months of 2007.
Selling, General and Administrative. SG&A as a percentage of net revenues for the first six
months of 2008 was 4% compared to 5% for the same period in the prior year. SG&A expenses in the
six months ended June 26, 2008 were lower as a percentage of net revenues due to a decrease in
non-cash stock compensation expenses and minimal transition related costs. In the first six months
of 2008, we recognized $7.5 million in stock compensation expense as compared to $21.0 million
during the first six months of 2007. Included in the 2007 amount was $7.0 million of stock
compensation expense related to the secondary offering. The total amount of expense related to the
secondary offering included in SG&A was $9.6 million.
Research and Development. R&D costs as a percentage of net revenues were approximately 1% for
the first six month periods ended June 26, 2008 and June 28, 2007. R&D costs declined $3.7 million,
or 15%, primarily due to a reduction in R&D spending on new programs in the first six months of
2008 compared to the first six months of 2007.
Operating Income. Operating income for the six months ended June 26, 2008 was $266.3 million,
an increase of $60.4 million, or 29% compared to operating income of $205.9 million for the same
period in the prior year. The increase was driven by additional gross profit from greater sales
volume and lower transition and R&D expenses compared to the first six months of 2007.
Interest Expense and Financing Fee Amortization. Interest expense and financing fee
amortization for the six months ended June 26, 2008 includes
$15.8 million of interest expense
associated with long-term debt and $3.8 million in amortization of deferred financing costs as
compared to $17.1 million of interest expense associated with long-term debt and $1.3 million in
amortization of deferred financing costs for the same period in the prior year. The increase of
$1.2 million as compared to the six months ended June
28
28, 2007 primarily resulted from an increase in amortizable costs associated with the amendment and
restatement of our senior credit facility on March 18, 2008.
Interest Income. Interest income for the six months ended June 26, 2008 consisted of $9.3
million of accretion of the discounted long-term receivable from Boeing for capital expense
reimbursement pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement for the Boeing Acquisition and $1.4 million
in interest income as compared to $10.8 million of accretion of the discounted long-term receivable
and $4.0 million of interest income for the same period in the prior year. As we receive
additional payments on the receivable, the amount of accretion will decrease.
Provision for Income Taxes. The income tax provision for the six months ended June 26, 2008
includes $81.0 million for federal income taxes, $3.1 million for state taxes and $3.3 million for
foreign taxes. The income tax provision for the six months ended June 28, 2007 included $64.6
million for federal income taxes, $2.5 million for state taxes, and $1.2 million for foreign taxes.
The 33.75% effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 26, 2008 differs from the 33.1%
effective income tax rate for the same period in the prior year primarily due to the U.S. Research
and Experimentation Tax Credits expiration effective December 31, 2007, partially offset by an
increase in the Domestic Production Activities Deduction and state income tax credits.

Improvements to segment net revenues and operating income before unallocated corporate
expenses for the six months ended June 26, 2008 compared to the six months ended June 28, 2007 were
driven by higher deliveries and lower R&D expenses. Fuselage Systems, Propulsion Systems, Wing
Systems and All Other represented approximately 47%, 27%, 25% and 1%, respectively, of our net
revenues for the six months ended June 26, 2008. Net revenues attributable to Airbus are recorded
in the Wing Systems segment. Fuselage Systems, Propulsion Systems, Wing Systems and All Other
represented approximately 53%, 27%, 19% and 1%, respectively, of our segment operating income
before unallocated corporate expenses for the six months ended June 26, 2008.
Fuselage Systems. Fuselage Systems segment net revenues for the six months ended June 26, 2008
were $985.4 million, an increase of $90.5 million, or 10%, over the same period in the prior year.
This reflects an increase in Boeing B737, B747 and B787 model production volumes in support of
customer deliveries. Fuselage Systems posted segment operating margins of 18% for the six month
periods ended June 26, 2008 and June 28, 2007.
Propulsion Systems. Propulsion Systems segment net revenues for the six months ended June 26,
2008 were $571.6 million, an increase of $52.0 million, or 10%, over the same period in the prior
year. This reflects an increase in Boeing B737, B747 and B787 model production volumes in support
of customer deliveries. Propulsion Systems posted segment operating margins of 16% for the six
month periods ended June 26, 2008 and June 28, 2007.
29
Wing Systems. Wing Systems segment net revenues for the six months ended June 26, 2008 was
$526.7 million, an increase of $40.1 million, or 8%, over
the same period in the prior year due to higher deliveries to Boeing
and Airbus. Wing
Systems posted segment operating margins of 12% for the first six months of 2008, compared to 11%
in same period in the prior year, as R&D expenses on new programs declined.
All Other. The All Other net revenues consist of sundry sales and miscellaneous services, and
revenues from the Kansas Industrial Energy Supply Company, or KIESC. The $3.0 million increase in
net revenues in the six months ended June 26, 2008, compared to the six months ended June 28, 2007,
was primarily driven by an increase in tooling sales.
Cash Flow
Six Months Ended June 26, 2008 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 28, 2007
Operating Activities. For the six months ended June 26, 2008, we had a net cash inflow of
$78.4 million from operating activities, an increase of $13.8 million, or 21%, compared to a net
cash inflow of $64.6 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in cash provided
in the current year was primarily due to higher earnings and increased customer advances, partially
offset by additional inventory for the B787, Gulfstream and other general aviation programs. In
accordance with the payment terms from the amended B787 Supply Agreement, we received $231.0
million in cash advance payments from Boeing during the first six months of 2008.
Investing Activities. For the six months ended June 26, 2008, we had a net cash outflow of
$61.4 million from investing activities, a decrease of $83.7 million, or 58%, compared to a net
cash outflow of $145.1 million for the same period in the prior year. During the first six months
of 2008, we invested $119.4 million in property, plant and equipment, software and program tooling
which was $39.8 million less than during the same period of 2007. Of 2008 capital expenditures,
$40.6 million was related to capital investments related to the start of B787 production as
compared to $86.4 million of B787 capital investments during the same period in the prior year.
Capital expenditures were partially offset by $56.5 million in capital reimbursements from Boeing
received in the first six months of 2008 compared to $11.4 million received in the first six months
of 2007. This difference is due to the increased payment amounts as well as a timing difference
that resulted in the receipt of two payments in the second quarter of 2008.
Financing Activities. For the six months ended June 26, 2008, we had a net cash outflow of
$3.9 million from financing activities, compared to a net cash inflow of $22.7 million for the same
period in the prior year. The change in net cash was due primarily to $34.5 million recorded in
2007 related to excess tax benefits from share-based payment arrangements, which was caused by the
secondary offering. In addition, during the first six months of 2008, we borrowed $9.4 million from
the Malaysian term loan, partially offset by $6.8 million of debt issuance costs related to the
amendment and restatement of our senior credit facility, which occurred in the first quarter of
2008.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity, or access to cash, is an important factor in determining our financial stability.
The primary sources of our liquidity include cash flow from operations, borrowing capacity through
our credit facilities and advance payments and receivables from customers. Our liquidity
requirements and working capital needs depend on a number of factors including the timing and rate
of deliveries, payment terms under our contracts, the level of research and development
expenditures related to new programs, capital expenditures, growth and contractions in the business
cycle, contributions to our union-sponsored pension plans and interest and debt payments.
On June 2, 2008, Spirit AeroSystems Malaysia SDN BHD (Spirit Malaysia) entered into a
Facility Agreement (Facility Agreement) for a term loan facility of Ringgit Malaysia (RM) 69.2
million (approximately USD $20.0 million) (the Facility), with EXIM Bank, to be used towards
partial financing of plant and equipment (including the acquisition of production equipment),
materials, inventory and administrative costs associated with the establishment of an
aerospace-related composite component assembly plant, plus potential additional work packages at
Malaysia International Aerospace Center in Subang, Selangor, Malaysia (the Project). Funds for
the Project will be available on a drawdown basis over a twenty-four month period from the date of
the Facility Agreement. Spirit Malaysia is scheduled to make periodic draws against the Facility.
The indebtedness repayment requires quarterly principal installments of RM 3.3 million (USD
$1.0 million) from September 2011 through May 2017, or until the entire loan principal has been
repaid.
30
Outstanding amounts drawn under the Facility are subject to a fixed interest rate of 3.5% per
annum, payable quarterly.
On May 14, 2008, Spirit and The North Carolina Global TransPark Authority (GTPA) entered
into an Inducement Agreement, a Construction Agency Agreement and a Lease Agreement for the
construction and lease of a manufacturing facility on an approximately 300 acre site in Kinston,
North Carolina (the NC Facility). Spirit intends to use the NC Facility for a variety of
aerospace manufacturing purposes, including the manufacturing and assembly of aerostructure parts
for various customers. Spirit plans to manufacture a portion of the fuselage and the Composite
Front Spar for the new Airbus A350 XWB aircraft at the NC Facility.
Pursuant to the terms of the Construction Agency Agreement, GTPA appointed Spirit as its
construction agent for the NC Facility. As the construction agent,
Spirit will retain a design company to prepare the plans and
specifications for the work and to act as the general contractor for
the coordination of the work. The construction will be funded initially from a $100.0
million grant, awarded to GTPA by the Golden L.E.A.F. (Long-Term Economic Advancement Foundation),
Inc., with an additional required minimum capital investment of $80.0 million to be funded by
Spirit by 2014. The GTPA will pay the contractors directly for
construction costs up to the $100.0 million grant value. GTPA will retain title to the site and the NC Facility.
The Lease Agreement provides that GTPA will lease the site and the NC Facility to Spirit for
an initial term of approximately 22 years (such term includes the construction period, which is
expected to last approximately 2 years). In addition, Spirit has the option to renew the lease for
up to four additional 20-year terms. During the term of the lease, Spirit will make nominal rental
payments to GTPA.
Pursuant to the terms of the Inducement Agreement, Spirit is subject to performance criteria
including the creation of 800 jobs by the end of 2018 with measurement to targets beginning in
2010. Failure to meet these targets will result in additional payments to GTPA in future periods,
but will not result in any obligation after the initial 22-year term of the lease. The additional
payment obligation will be assessed annually based on the aggregate number of positions created at
the end of each period; however, a final calculation of the additional amount owing with respect to
job creation performance will be assessed on December 31, 2018 based on the total number of
sustained eligible jobs created over the performance period. If the minimum number of sustained
eligible jobs has been achieved and maintained for any consecutive twelve-quarter period after
December 31, 2018, the performance criterion will be considered satisfied and any additional
payments will cease.
Another performance criterion contained in the Inducement Agreement is the requirement for
Spirit to make $80.0 million in capital investments at the leased premises by the end of 2014 with
measurement to targets beginning in 2009. This requirement is exclusive of any governmental grant
proceeds. Failure to meet these targets will result in additional payments to GTPA in future
periods, but will not result in any obligation after the initial 22-year term of the lease. The
additional payment obligation will be assessed annually based on capital investment spending
targets at the end of each period; however, a final calculation of the additional amount owing with
respect to capital investment performance will be assessed on December 31, 2014 based on the total
$80.0 million capital investment spending target. If additional payments are due, the performance
criterion will be considered satisfied and payments will cease once Spirits total qualifying
capital investment in the leased premises reaches $80.0 million.
Additionally, Spirit is subject to termination penalties if certain events occur either during
or subsequent to the construction phase of the project. Any such termination penalties or
additional payments are not expected to be material to Spirits financial position or annual
results of operations, and are ultimately dependent on the amount of jobs created and capital
invested in the Facility.
On March 26, 2008, Boeing and Spirit amended their existing B787 Supply Agreement to, among
other things, provide for revised payment terms for deliveries from Spirit to Boeing. The revised
terms will result in additional cash advance payments to Spirit in 2008 approximating the value
anticipated to be delivered by Spirit in 2008 in the original B787 program schedule. The
additional advances will be applied against the purchase price of the ship sets delivered until
fully repaid. The amendment also eliminates the existing delayed payment schedule for ship sets
delivered prior to aircraft certification and ties all payments for ship sets not covered by the
additional advances to the date of delivery by Spirit to Boeing. During the first and second
quarters of 2008, Spirit received $124.0 million and $107.0 million, respectively, in cash advances
from Boeing as a result of the amended payment terms.
On March 18, 2008, we entered into an amendment (the Amendment) to our senior credit
facility. As a result of the Amendment, the revolving credit facility and the $700.0 million term
loan B were amended to, among other things, (i) increase the amount of the revolver from $400.0
million to $650.0 million, (ii) increase from $75.0 million to $200.0 million the amount of
indebtedness Spirit and its subsidiaries can incur on a consolidated basis to finance acquisition
of capital assets, (iii) add a provision
31
allowing Spirit and
Spirit Holdings to have additional indebtedness outstanding of up to $300.0 million, (iv) add a
provision allowing Spirit and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis the ability to make
investments in joint ventures not to exceed a total of $50.0 million at any given time, and (v)
modify the definition of Change of Control to exclude certain circumstances that previously would
have been considered a Change of Control.
In
June 2008, we entered into $100.0 million of forward starting swaps, which will replace the
swaps maturing in July 2008. The term of the forward starting swaps extends from July 14, 2008
through July 14, 2011.
We ended the second quarter of 2008 with cash and cash equivalents of $147.4 million, an
increase of $14.0 million, compared to a cash balance of $133.4 million at December 31, 2007.
Considering the positive impacts of the additional borrowing capacity under the revolving
credit facility and the additional advance payments from Boeing, we believe our liquidity position
is fully adequate to fund all intermediate term cash flow needs.
During the first quarter of 2008, Standard & Poors revised the companys credit outlook from
negative to stable following Spirits announcement of its increased credit line. Standard & Poors
and Moodys confirmed their respective BB and Ba3 corporate ratings for Spirit.
We use derivative financial instruments to manage the economic impact of fluctuations in
currency exchange rates and interest rates. To account for our derivative financial instruments, we
follow the provisions of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, as amended by SFAS 137 and SFAS 138. Derivative financial instruments are recognized on
the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value.
The derivatives are valued at mark to market with the changes in fair market value of the
instruments recorded at each period in earnings or accumulated other comprehensive income,
depending on whether a derivative is effective as part of a hedge transaction, and if it is, the
type of hedge transaction. Gains and losses on derivative instruments reported in accumulated other
comprehensive income are subsequently included in earnings in the periods in which earnings are
affected by the hedged item or when the hedge is no longer effective. We present the cash flows
associated with our derivatives as a component of the investing section of the Statement of Cash
Flows. Our use of derivatives has generally been limited to interest rate swaps, but in fiscal 2006
we also began using derivative instruments to manage our risk associated with U.S. dollar
denominated contracts negotiated by Spirit Europe. We believe that the effect of significant
increases or decreases in the aggregate fair value of our derivatives will not materially impact
our liquidity.
The carrying amounts of certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate fair value because of their
short maturities.
Repayment of B787 Advance Payments
The original B787 Supply Agreement required Boeing to make advance payments to us for
production articles in the aggregate amount of $700.0 million. These advances were received by the
end of 2007. We must repay this advance, without interest, in the amount of a $1.4 million offset
against the purchase price of each of the first five hundred B787 ship sets delivered to Boeing. In
the event that Boeing does not take delivery of five hundred B787 ship sets, any advances not then
repaid will first be applied against any outstanding B787 payments then due by Boeing to us, with
any remaining balance repaid at the rate of $84.0 million per year beginning in the year in which
we deliver our final B787 production ship set to Boeing, prorated for the remaining portion of the
year in which we make our final delivery. Accordingly, portions of the repayment liability are
included as current and long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet.
On March 26, 2008, Boeing and Spirit amended their existing B787 Supply Agreement to, among
other things, provide for revised payment terms for deliveries from Spirit to Boeing. The Amended
B787 Supply Agreement requires Boeing to make additional advance payments to us in 2008 for
production articles in an aggregate amount approximating the value anticipated to be delivered by
Spirit in 2008 in the original B787 program schedule, in addition to the $700.0 million received
through 2007. The additional advances will be applied against the full purchase price of the ship
sets delivered (net of the $1.4 million per ship set applied against the initial $700.0 million of
advances described above) until fully repaid. In the event that Boeing does not take delivery of
the number of ship sets for which the additional advance payments have been made, any additional
advances not then repaid will first be applied against any outstanding B787 payments then due by
Boeing to us, with any remaining balance repaid beginning the year in which we deliver our final
B787 production ship set to Boeing, with the full amount to be repaid no later than the end of the
subsequent year. Accordingly, portions of the repayment liability associated with the additional advances are
included as current and long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As a result of our operating and financing activities, we are exposed to various market risks
that may affect our consolidated results of operations and financial position. These market risks
include fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, which impact the amount
of interest we must pay on our variable rate debt. In addition to other information set forth in
this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Item 7A, Quantitative and
Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2007, as filed with the SEC on February 22, 2008, which could materially affect our
business, financial condition or results of operations. There have been no material changes to our
market risk since the filing of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer have evaluated our disclosure controls as of June 26, 2008, and have concluded that these
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in
the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commission rules and forms. These disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation,
controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the
reports we file or submit is accumulated and communicated to management, including the President
and Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
During the first half of 2008, portions of our new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system
were implemented. This conversion affected certain general ledger functions, and resulted in the
use of new system reports and additional monitoring controls during the transition from legacy
systems. Other than this item, there were no other changes in our internal controls over financial
reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
PART II- OTHER INFORMATION
