* Analysts’ consensus,
Investment in technology
R&D figures are provisional estimates for FY06
(Equivalent figures for FY05 were 6% company funded and 13% customer funded)

Global defence activity remains high
US defence procurement levelling off later than expected
Commercial aerospace growth continues
Tier 1 leaders are benefiting from supply
chain rationalisation
Global “hot spots” and tensions still driving military spending, though type of spending is changing and moving away from large equipment procurement programmes to upgrades, service life extensions and support.
Civil passenger traffic (RPKs) recovered to pre 9/11 trend and remaining robust despite sustained high oil prices
(June 2006 IATA comment – since 2001 airline efficiency improvements have moved the break-even fuel price from US$14 per barrel to US$50).
Supply chain rationalisation is an objective of most prime contractors.

Focus on added value services that improve
operator performance and reduce
Logistics (PBL) services
Globally providing aircraft operators with high performance support.
Partnership with Aviall for civil spares
% sales
VALUE @ 2005 $bn
1100 a/c per annum
Strong sales of both narrow and wide bodies driving growth to 2008.
Wide body demand remains robust when narrow body sales forecast to decline.
Strong narrow body demand forecast to come back in later years fuelled by retirements in North America – potentially supported by new aircraft.
Smiths Aerospace
Steady growth continues
VALUE @ 2005 $bn
Forecast for new equipment – upgrades and support will increase in importance
Export markets ( e.g. Saudi & India) and indigenous programmes (e.g. in India and South Korea) expected to supplement stable US spend profile.
