“A full schedule recovery and subsequent cost reduction of the 737 line has been a primary focus while sustaining execution across all programs. We made great progress continuing to improve the consistency and efficiency of 737 deliveries during the quarter, and are now fully recovered to our delivery schedule,” said Spirit President and CEO Tom Gentile. “All other programs, including the A320 and the A350, are on schedule. We are also on track to increase rate to 57 airplanes per month on 737 and 14 airplanes per month on 787, both of which occur next year.”

Update on Proposed Acquisition of Asco Industries

Spirit and Asco Industries have been working cooperatively with the European Commission (the "Commission") in recent weeks in its review of Spirit's proposed acquisition. During the course of its Phase 1 review, the Commission identified issues that it requires to be addressed regarding the transaction. Consequently, Spirit has decided to withdraw its notification of the transaction from the Commission in order to address those issues. This will interrupt the Commission's current review of the transaction. Spirit and Asco will work to refile the notification in a timely manner.

Spirit remains confident that the transaction will be completed and remains enthusiastic about the strategic fit of Asco with the rest of its operations.

Revenue

Spirit’s third quarter 2018 revenue was $1.8 billion, up from the same period of 2017. This increase was primarily driven by higher production deliveries on the Boeing 737 program and increased defense related activity, partially offset by lower production deliveries on the Boeing 777 program, and lower revenue recognized on the Boeing 787 program as a result of the adoption of ASC 606. (Table 1)

Spirit’s backlog at the end of the third quarter of 2018 was approximately $48 billion, with work packages on all commercial platforms in the Boeing and Airbus backlog.

Earnings

Operating income for the third quarter of 2018 was $223 million, up compared to $202 million in the same period of 2017. This increase was primarily due to the recovery of legal fees related to a recent court decision as well as margin recognized on the Airbus A350 program as a result of the adoption of ASC 606. Third quarter EPS was $1.59, up compared to $1.26 in the same period of 2017. Third quarter adjusted EPS was $1.70*, excluding the impact of the proposed Asco acquisition and debt financing costs, up compared to $1.26 in the same period of 2017. (Table 1)

Cash

Cash from operations in the third quarter of 2018 was $170 million, compared to $291 million in the same quarter last year. Adjusted free cash flow* in the third quarter of 2018 was $130 million, compared to $240 million in the same quarter last year. (Table 2) “For the full-year, we remain on track to achieve our cash flow guidance of $550 - $575 million,” Gentile said.

Cash balance at the end of the quarter was $683 million. The company’s revolving credit facility remained undrawn at the end of the quarter.

Segment Results

Fuselage Systems

Fuselage Systems segment revenue in the third quarter of 2018 increased by four percent from the same period last year to $991 million. This increase was primarily due to higher production deliveries on the Boeing 737 program and increased defense work, partially offset by lower revenue recognized on the Boeing 787 program as a result of the adoption of ASC 606 and lower production deliveries on the Boeing 777 program. Operating margin for the third quarter of 2018 decreased to 13.6 percent, compared to 15.0 percent during the same period of 2017, primarily due to lower margins recognized on the Boeing 737 program in the third quarter of 2018, partially offset by higher margin recognized on the Airbus A350 program as a result of the adoption of ASC 606. In the third quarter of 2018, the segment recorded pretax $(12.0) million of unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments.

Propulsion Systems

Propulsion Systems segment revenue in the third quarter of 2018 increased nine percent from the same period last year to $442 million, primarily driven by higher propulsion deliveries on the Boeing 737 program, partially offset by lower production deliveries on the Boeing 777 program and lower revenue recognized on the Boeing 787 program as a result of the adoption of ASC 606. Operating margin for the third quarter of 2018 decreased slightly to 17.2 percent, compared to 17.7 percent during the same period of 2017, primarily due to unfavorable changes in estimates recognized in the current quarter. In the third quarter of 2018, the segment recorded pretax $(2.4) million of unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments and $(0.8) million of net forward losses.

Wing Systems

Wing Systems segment revenue in the third quarter of 2018 decreased by one percent from the same period last year to $379 million, primarily due to lower revenue recognized on the Boeing 787 program as a result of the adoption of ASC 606 and lower revenue recognized on the Airbus A350 program in accordance with pricing terms, partially offset by higher production deliveries on the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 programs. Operating margin for the third quarter of 2018 increased to 15.5 percent, compared to 12.8 percent during the same period of 2017, primarily driven by margin recognized on the Airbus A350 program as a result of the adoption of ASC 606. In the third quarter of 2018, the segment recorded pretax $1.4 million of favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments and $0.3 million of favorable changes in estimates on forward loss programs.

Appendix

In addition to reporting our financial information using U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), management believes that certain non-GAAP measures (which are indicated by * in this report) provide investors with important perspectives into the company’s ongoing business performance. The non-GAAP measures we use in this report are (i) adjusted diluted earnings per share, (ii) free cash flow, (iii) adjusted free cash flow, and (iv) adjusted cash from operations, which are described further below. The company does not intend for the information to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures. Other companies may define and calculate the measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of the measures for comparison with other companies.

Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share. To provide additional transparency, we have disclosed non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS). This metric excludes various items that are not considered to be directly related to our operating performance. Management uses Adjusted EPS as a measure of business performance and we believe this information is useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of our results. The most comparable GAAP measure is diluted earnings per share. Outlook related to GAAP diluted earnings per share and a reconciliation between GAAP diluted earnings per share and Adjusted EPS are omitted herein due to the uncertainty of full-year Asco acquisition impacts that are dependent on timing of closing the acquisition.

Adjusted Cash from Operations. Adjusted Cash from Operations is defined as GAAP cash from operating activities less various items that are not considered to be directly related to operational performance. The most comparable GAAP measure is cash from operating activities. Outlook related to GAAP cash from operating activities and a reconciliation between GAAP cash from operating activities and Adjusted Cash from Operations are omitted herein due to the uncertainty of full-year Asco acquisition impacts that are dependent on timing of closing the acquisition. Management uses Adjusted Cash from Operations as a measure to assess both business performance and overall liquidity. Adjusted Cash from Operations for the third quarter of 2018 is $148 million, calculated as GAAP cash from operating activities of $170 million less costs related to the Asco acquisition of $22 million. Adjusted Cash from Operations for the nine months ended September 27, 2018, is $543 million, calculated as GAAP cash from operating activities of $567 million less costs related to the Asco acquisition of $24 million.

Free Cash Flow. Free Cash Flow is defined as GAAP cash from operating activities, less capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment (expected to be between $275 - $325 million for 2018). Management believes Free Cash Flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available for stockholders, debt repayments including capital leases, and acquisitions after making the capital investments required to support ongoing business operations and long term value creation. Free Cash Flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures as it excludes certain mandatory expenditures. The most comparable GAAP measure is cash provided by operating activities. Outlook related to GAAP cash from operating activities and a reconciliation between GAAP cash from operating activities and Free Cash Flow are omitted herein due to the uncertainty of full-year Asco acquisition impacts that are dependent on timing of closing the acquisition. Management uses Free Cash Flow as a measure to assess both business performance and overall liquidity.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow. Management considers certain items that arise from time to time to be outside the ordinary course of our operations. Management believes that excluding these items provides a better understanding of the underlying trends in the company’s operating performance and allows more accurate comparisons of the company’s operating results to historical performance. Accordingly, Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as free cash flow less these special items. The most comparable GAAP measure is cash provided by operating activities. Outlook related to GAAP cash from operating activities and a reconciliation between GAAP cash from operating activities and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are omitted herein due to the uncertainty of full-year Asco acquisition impacts that are dependent on timing of closing the acquisition. Management uses Adjusted Free Cash Flow as a measure to assess both business performance and overall liquidity.

The tables below provide reconciliations between the GAAP and non-GAAP measures.
