Stephen Nolan

the $XX first hit that's F-XX So in still us. as to for mentioned, thing, overall million that the the million, It's We yet range. year, yes, destocking inventory $XX to -- has right roughly. number I the

growth F-XX. QX revenue some down saw to a see third XXXX the we noted, in F-XX, QX, in I quarters, of second XXXX. as But dip QX we in fact, will In of in from and

ahead own that fact, still books. both part So are certainly the seeing is destocking, us. and, -- channel LEAP, On that's in in some still our of we on

products that had year, a significant we've mentioned Some stock the we as the last of inventory. of had, I over

on certainly product assets destocking. is recognized contract would profit. we're some we've balance seeing of So it already And our appears that in a revenue which that because and the where be sheet in

So in of in part quarter, this assets destocking is if this contract LEAP. you that see the decline

So that is progressing as expected.

what production. looks over to on as the up ramp However, profile depends they up expect the predicting the balance to like ability largely exactly ramp Boeing's year of XXX in

I'm of profile quarter this will is than another is XXX, would believe revenue challenging we less quarter as bottom progressing but quarter-by-quarter $X have QX not mentioned, a On quarter. the as in So be million certainly, going to not on going to I down, the of to it is hard terms expected. provide burn XXX. be this but revenue, It's of

And produced two biggest units

refurb And so aircraft. for there aftermarket product and also repair of was less consumed

for dollar at provided And just QX end line in the still that us impact the actual shipsets. full it's the year. -- impact more on the the XX so with we But holds is than of

Gautam Khanna

and Separately -- the of have XA along is calls -- on may earnings I the and missed one running this other XB. Okay. because

much the in mentioned much a get to by cost how the QX. of increase where was fixed yourselves do And of the pickup? on see -- announced based later? a AEC -- just program? So the you conversion see the So year cash much to reimbursed had rates How Safran and that if again build from could true-up when of when for how then absorb time last you better explained start we you the production true-up secondly, is contract you in inventory clarify

Stephen Nolan

Sure. X. No, I can make those

than up not XXXX. XXX I've under So we We're closer at XXX end shipsets, as shipsets. now quite on but mentioned, the were XXX to LEAP-XB, of XXX down

So -- we're of seeing now. what on some destocking books right seeing some we're is our

close a Now and but though that we're increase production significant on Boeing ramp-up. to still on production its in going see hand, meet see we'd some obviously, have those not to time XXX like period, for shipsets to

before probably when XA points. material a On So that XB meets a pickup outweighs is see ramp-up on we its right see on production, in production. now, pickup depends we when all Airbus

projected production. this production they both of next they step line would to know, to when expect is certainly probably And our later LEAP year back we demand with that's the couple expect you that. year really As next a up big points, But rise program, in actual XXXX. XB when And we step-up on get meeting overall, full beyond in the for the to and that.

XA cash on In on cash a of QX, cash when is for deliver for recognized in that very clearly, Those hand compression the inventory with already the certainly from two is and terms the collection inventory smaller and and we was excess books, need flow mentioned And we of which bit that we've QX. there just I benefited little much strong of we look, in in One because inventory. AEC profit. of it. XB destocking LEAP quarter revenue well, deliveries as the although ways. are our didn't was cash. But It flow enter in costs

so impacts, are differs it there within specifically, not and of and true-up the some in dribbles takes and -- QX, into by facility. puts it that, felt it's all but on On QX for

under But QX million a mid-teens, true-up. result We as true-ups the of reach. have the in $XX a in separate little overall, benefit somewhere

Gautam Khanna
