Helicopters segment: Full year sales: $72.0 million (+3.0%)/Full year operating income: $2.6 million (up substantially)
Results driven by Egypt SH-2G depot level maintenance program and upgrades, and by subcontract work on BLACK
HAWK for Sikorsky (lower for 4th quarter/higher for year). Australia program charge is lower.
Specialty Bearings segment: Full year sales: $124.0 million (+16.7%)/Full year operating income: $41.4 million (+44.6%)
