Why Excellence in Delivery?
• We have been progressively simplifying, standardising and integrating our business since 2005
• We have now demonstrated substantial benefits from our new processes and systems through initial implementation activities across our business
• Excellence in Delivery will deliver a step change in our performance to our customers, making us more responsive and able to fully exploit our scale
• Excellence in Delivery will reduce our operating costs by £65m annually by the end of 2013 for a one off investment of £131m
• This is the next step in our development that we can now take with the capabilities and market positions we have, and one which we would undertake irrespective of the current market conditions

Cobham plc
EiD Aims to Take us Further Towards a Simplified, Standardised and Scale Organisation
• Roll out our Standard Operating Framework across a set of principal sites
• Integrate some of our smaller (production) facilities into the principal sites to increase the coverage of our Standard Operating Framework
• Lock down the standard processes with a single standard Cobham Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system and capture scale economies and reduce complexity further through implementation of shared services

Definitions
Underlying To assist with the understanding of earnings trends, the Group has included within its published statements trading profit and underlying earnings results. Trading profit and underlying earnings have been defined as operating profit from continuing operations excluding the impacts of certain transaction related costs and business restructuring costs as detailed below. Also excluded are the marking to market of currency instruments not realised in the period, impairments of intangible assets and items deemed by the Directors to be of an exceptional nature such as the settlement of a long- standing commercial dispute. Transaction related costs excluded from trading profit and underlying earnings include the amortisation of intangible assets recognised on acquisition, the writing off of the pre-acquisition profit element of inventory written up on acquisition and costs charged post acquisition related to acquired share options. Transaction related costs also include other direct costs associated with business combinations and direct costs arising from any terminated acquisitions or disposals.
Business restructuring costs comprise exceptional profits or losses arising on disposals actually completed, as well as exceptional costs or profits associated with the restructuring of the Group’s business and site integrations. This includes costs associated with the Excellence in Delivery programme. All underlying measures include the revenue and operational results of both continuing and discontinued businesses until the point of sale of the operation.
Net debt is defined as the net of cash and cash equivalents less borrowings at the balance sheet date.
Underlying Tax Rate The underlying tax rate is based on underlying profit before tax, excluding the share of post tax income from joint ventures.
