COVID-19



During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic continued to
have a significant negative impact on the aviation industry, our customers, and
our business globally. Due to the uncertain nature of current conditions around
the world, and the capability of conditions to evolve rapidly, we are unable to
predict accurately the impact that COVID-19 will have on our business going
forward, including for the reasons stated in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2021 ("2021 Form 10-K"). Our expectation is that our
business operations will not improve until our customers are willing to produce
aircraft at sufficient levels, which is dependent upon the public's willingness
to use aircraft travel, sufficient OEM orders (without suspension) from airlines
and the financial resources of airlines, other companies and individuals.

Global Economic Events



Global economic conditions may impact our results of operations. Russia's
February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, the resultant sanctions and other measures
imposed by the U.S. and other governments, and other related impacts have
resulted in economic and political uncertainty and risks. In response to the
Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the associated U.S. sanctions, the Company has
suspended all sanctioned activities relating to Russia, primarily consisting of
sales and service activities. Due to these sanctions and the results of
additional assessment of the related assets and liabilities in the second
quarter of 2022, we recorded an aggregate loss of $28.1 million related to
adjustments of certain assets and liabilities associated with sanctioned Russian
business activities. The charges are included on the Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June
30, 2022. The prospective impacts to revenues, net income, net assets, cash flow
from operations, and the Company's Consolidated Financial Position are not
material, however, a significant expansion of economic disruption or escalation
of the conflict could have a material adverse effect on orders from our
customers and/or our results of operations. Energy, freight, raw material and
other costs have been impacted by, and may continue to be impacted by, the
conflict. Our associated estimates of such costs, where applicable, use the most
recent information available. We continue to monitor and evaluate related risks
and uncertainties, including the items discussed in Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

B737 Program



The B737 MAX program is a critical program to the Company. For the twelve months
ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 approximately 35%, 19%, and 53% of our
net revenues, respectively, were generated from sales of components to Boeing
for the B737 aircraft. While we have entered into long-term supply agreements
with Boeing to continue to provide components for the B737 for the life of the
aircraft program, including commercial and military P-8 derivatives, Boeing does
not have any obligation to purchase components from us for any replacement for
the B737 that is not a commercial derivative model as defined by the Special
Business Provisions and the General Terms Agreement (collectively, the
"Sustaining Agreement") between Spirit and Boeing. The Sustaining Agreement is a
requirements contract and Boeing can reduce the purchase volume at any time.

In March 2019, the B737 MAX fleet was grounded in the U.S. and internationally
following the 2018 and 2019 accidents involving two B737 MAX aircraft. On
November 18, 2020, the FAA issued an order rescinding the grounding of the B737
MAX and published an Airworthiness Directive specifying design changes to be
made before the aircraft returned to service. Boeing's deliveries of the B737
MAX resumed in the fourth quarter of 2020. Since November 2020, regulators from
Brazil, Canada, the EU, U.K., India, and other countries have taken similar
actions to unground the B737 MAX and permit return to service. The Civil
Aviation Administration of China, which is the most significant country
remaining to allow the B737 MAX to return to service, issued an airworthiness
directive in December 2021, directing corrective actions necessary to allow for
return to service. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, Boeing continued
to announce orders for the B737 MAX, and air carriers generally continued
resuming flights on the aircraft.

We expect that ongoing demand challenges from the B737 MAX grounding will continue to be exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic because other programs that mitigate the strain of the lower B737 MAX production rate have continued


                                       36

to be suspended or are producing at lower rates. We expect air travel demand
will continue to improve from 2021 levels as COVID-19 vaccinations are
administered globally. The overall pace of any recovery of air travel demand
will depend on availability, speed and acceptance of vaccinations, the
occurrence and spread of continued COVID-19 mutations, effectiveness of vaccines
on new strains of the COVID-19 virus, government travel restrictions and
availability and speed of test results. We expect that domestic air travel
demand will continue to improve in the near term with international air travel
demand continuing to lag behind. As a result, we expect that the B737 MAX and
other narrowbody production rates will recover to pre-pandemic levels before
widebody production rates. For additional information, see the "Risk Factors"
section of our 2021 Form 10-K.

The 737 MAX 7 and MAX 10 models are currently going through Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) certification activities. If our customer is unable to
achieve certification of these models or the entry into service is inconsistent
with current assumptions, future revenues, earnings and cash flows are likely to
be adversely impacted.

B787 Program

In the year ended December 31, 2020, production rate decreases from our customer
on the B787 program resulted in incremental forward loss charges of $192.5
million. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the combination of further
production rate decreases from our customer and estimated costs of rework and
engineering changes resulted in incremental forward loss charges of $153.5
million. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, our estimates for
further production rate decreases and build schedule changes, supply chain
costs, and other costs, including costs of rework, drove additional forward
losses of $30.9 million and $44.3 million on the program, respectively. Changes
to the scope of quality issues and any associated rework may increase or
decrease the total estimated loss provision. Additionally, production rate
changes, changes in cost assessments, or claims could result in additional
incremental forward loss charges. See also Note 20, Commitments, Contingencies
and Guarantees.

(1) Beginning in 2022, A220 deliveries reflect the number of wing end item
deliveries instead of pylon end item deliveries, as previously reported. A220
deliveries for the three and six months ended July 1, 2021 have been updated to
reflect wing units.
(2) Business and regional jet numbers for the three and six months ended July 1,
2021 incorporate changes resulting from alignment of shipset reporting from
acquired businesses.

For purposes of measuring production or shipset deliveries for Boeing aircraft
in a given period, the term "shipset" refers to sets of structural fuselage
components produced or delivered for one aircraft in such period. For purposes
of measuring production or shipset deliveries for Airbus A220 aircraft in a
given period, the term "shipset" refers to sets of structural wing components
produced or delivered for one aircraft in such period. For purposes of measuring
production or shipset deliveries for all other Airbus and Business/Regional Jet
aircraft in a given period, the term "shipset" refers to all structural aircraft
components produced or delivered for one aircraft in such period. Other
components that are part of the same aircraft shipsets could be produced or
shipped in earlier or later accounting periods than the components used to
measure production or shipset deliveries, which may result in slight variations
in production or delivery quantities of the various shipset components in any
given period.

Changes in Estimates



During the second quarter of 2022, we recognized unfavorable changes in
estimates of $71.7 million, which included net forward loss charges of $63.7
million, and unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments related to periods
prior to the second quarter of 2022 of $8.0 million. The forward losses in the
second quarter relate primarily to increased estimates for production rate
decreases and build schedule changes, supply chain costs, and other costs on the
B787 program, and anticipated production recovery costs related to the
bankruptcy of a supplier and associated failure to deliver key parts on the A220
wing program. Forward loss charges were also recorded on the A350 program driven
by production schedule changes, increased labor costs, and increased
non-recurring engineering and tooling costs. The forward loss charges for the
second quarter of 2022 also include, to a lesser extent than the aforementioned
B787, A220, and A350 programs impacts, increased cost projections on the RB3070,
B747, B767, Bombardier Challenger 650, and Bell V280 programs, and a partial
offset related to the release of a previously recorded forward loss provision
that was impacted by the suspension of activities in Russia noted above. The
unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments primarily relate to the B737 and
A320 programs. Increased cost estimates on the
                                       38
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of Contents
B737 program were driven by production schedule changes, parts shortages, and
increased supply chain costs. The A320 program unfavorable cumulative catch-up
adjustment was driven by production cost overruns experienced and estimates of
the impact of production schedule changes, increased material cost, increased
freight cost, and increased labor and overhead cost.

During the same period in the prior year, we recognized total unfavorable changes in estimates of $42.3 million, which included net forward loss charges of $52.2 million, and favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments related to periods prior to the second quarter of 2020 of $9.9 million.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 as Compared to Three Months Ended July 1, 2021



Revenue. Net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $1,257.9
million, an increase of $255.8 million, or 25.5%, compared to net revenue of
$1,002.1 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in revenue
was primarily driven by increased production on the B737 program in the current
period. The variance also includes the impact of decreased production revenues
on the B787, B747 and B767 programs, which was largely offset by increased B777
program revenue on strut and nacelle end items, increased A320 and A220 program
revenue, greater Bombardier business jet revenue, Airbus non-recurring revenue,
and increased revenue from aftermarket sales as compared to the prior year
period. Approximately 83% and 80% of Spirit's net revenues for the second
quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively, came from our two largest customers,
Boeing and Airbus.

Total deliveries to Boeing increased to 89 shipsets during the second quarter of
2022, compared to 63 shipsets delivered in the same period of the prior year,
primarily driven by increased production on the B737 program. Total deliveries
to Airbus increased to 180 shipsets during the second quarter of 2022, compared
to 126 shipsets delivered in the same period of the prior year, primarily driven
by increased production on the A320 program. Deliveries for business/regional
jet components increased to 49 shipsets during the second quarter of 2022,
compared to 46 shipsets delivered in the same period of the prior year, driven
by increased deliveries on our Bombardier business jet programs. In total,
deliveries increased to 318 shipsets during the second quarter of 2022, compared
to 235 shipsets delivered in the same period of the prior year.

Gross (Loss) Profit. Gross loss was ($19.6) million for the three months ended
June 30, 2022, compared to Gross loss of ($12.3) million for the same period in
the prior year. As noted above, we recorded a charge of $28.1 million in the
second quarter of 2022 in relation to the suspension of activities related to
customers in Russia due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the associated
sanctions. The increased loss from the prior year period includes the impact of
the charge and also reflects increased profit on the B737 program production
volume increase over the prior year period and lower forward losses relative to
the prior year period on the B787 and A350 production programs, partially offset
by margin deterioration on the A320, A220, RB3070, Bombardier business jet, and
A350 non-recurring programs versus the prior year period. In the second quarter
of 2022, we recognized $44.9 million of excess capacity production costs driven
by production schedule changes on B737 MAX, A220 and A320 programs and no net
workforce adjustments as a result of COVID-19, compared to prior year excess
capacity cost of $47.5 million and abnormal costs related to workforce
adjustments, net of the U.S. employee retention credit and U.K. government
subsidies, of $2.4 million. In the second quarter of 2022, we recognized $8.0
million of unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments related to periods prior
to the second quarter of 2022, and $63.7 million of net forward loss charges. As
mentioned in the Changes in Estimates section above, the forward losses recorded
in the second quarter of 2022 were driven by increased estimates for production
rate decreases and build schedule changes, supply chain costs, and other costs,
including costs of rework on the B787 program, and anticipated production
recovery costs related to the bankruptcy of a supplier and associated failure to
deliver key parts on the Company's A220 wing program. In the second quarter of
2021, we recorded $9.9 million of favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments
related to periods prior to the second quarter of 2021, and $52.2 million of net
forward loss charges primarily related to engineering analysis and the estimated
cost of rework on the B787 program. The second quarter of 2021 also included
additional forward loss charges on the A350 program related to changes to the
production schedule and estimated quality improvement costs, and the B767
program due to cost performance.

SG&A and Research and Development. Increased labor and administrative activity,
relative to the prior year period, for the three months ended June 30, 2022,
drove SG&A expense $3.3 million higher compared to the same period in the prior
year. Greater research and development activity drove expense $1.6 million
higher for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period
in the prior year.

Restructuring Costs. Restructuring costs for cost-alignment and headcount
reductions as a result of B737 MAX grounding and COVID-19 decreased $5.2 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in the
prior year. There were no restructuring costs recorded in the current period,
and the variance reflects the cost-alignment and headcount reduction activity
seen in the prior year period.

Operating (Loss) Income.  Operating loss for the three months ended June 30,
2022 was $104.7 million, an increased loss of $7 million, compared to operating
loss of $97.7 million for the same period in the prior year. The variance
reflects the increased gross loss on sales and changes to restructuring costs,
SG&A costs, and research and development costs mentioned above.

Interest Expense and Financing Fee Amortization. Interest expense and financing
fee amortization for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $4 million
compared to the same period in the prior year, driven by lower interest expense
on the repayable investment agreement with BEIS which was in place in the prior
year period but fully settled during the current period. See also Note 21 Other
Income (Expense), Net. Additionally, the three months ended June 30, 2022
includes $49.5 million of interest and fees paid or accrued in connection with
long-term debt and $1.9 million in amortization of deferred financing costs and
original issue discount, compared to $47.7 million of interest and fees paid or
accrued in connection with long-term debt and $2.2 million in amortization of
deferred financing costs and original issue discount for the same period in the
prior year. See also Note 15 Debt.

Other (Expense) Income, net. Other income, net for the three months ended
June 30, 2022 was $34.6 million, compared to other income of $31.1 million for
the same period in the prior year. The increase in other income reflects a gain
in the current period on the settlement of the repayable investment agreement
with BEIS (see Note 21 Other Income (Expense), Net) and relatively higher
foreign currency gains in the current year period, partially offset by losses in
the current period related to settlement of hedged foreign currency exchange
contracts (see Note 14 Derivative and Hedging Activities), relatively lower
pension income, increased excise tax related to a pension plan assets reversion
in the current period (see Note 16 Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefits),
and increased loss on sale of receivables as compared to the prior year period
(see Note 5 Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses).

Provision for Income Taxes. Our reported tax rate includes two principal
components: an expected annual tax rate and discrete items resulting in
additional provisions or benefits that are recorded in the quarter that an event
arises. Events or items that could give rise to discrete recognition include
excess tax benefit in respect of share-based compensation, finalizing audit
examinations for open tax years, statute of limitations expiration, or a change
in tax law.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future income tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts for existing asset and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred income tax assets to
an amount that in management's opinion will ultimately be realized. We have
reviewed our material deferred tax assets to determine whether or not a
valuation allowance was necessary. Based on evaluation of both the positive and
negative evidence available, management determined that it was necessary to
continue to maintain a valuation allowance against nearly all of its net U.S.
and U.K. deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2022. The net valuation allowance
was decreased by $23.7 million in the U.S. and increased by $14.7 million in the
U.K. for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

The income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2022 includes
($11.3) million for federal taxes, $4.4 million for state taxes and $3.4 million
for foreign taxes. The income tax provision for the three months ended July 1,
2021 includes ($13.5) million for federal taxes, $20.0 million for state taxes
and $2.5 million for foreign taxes. The effective tax rate for the three months
ended June 30, 2022 is 2.74% as compared to (7.19%) for the same period in 2021.
As we are reporting a pre-tax loss for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an
increase in the effective tax rate results in an increase of income tax benefits
while a decrease in the rate results in a reduction of income tax benefits.

The decrease from the U.S. statutory tax rate (resulting in less tax benefit,
given the loss) is attributable primarily to the valuation allowance, partially
offset by state and R&D credits generated, net of valuation allowance.

Segments. The following table shows segment revenues and operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and July 1, 2021:

Commercial segment, Defense & Space segment, and Aftermarket segment represented
approximately 82%, 12%, and 6%, respectively, of our net revenues for the three
months ended June 30, 2022 and approximately 80%, 14%, and 6%, respectively, of
our net revenues for the three months ended July 1, 2021.

Commercial segment. Commercial segment net revenues for the three months ended
June 30, 2022 were $1,031.1 million, an increase of $227.5 million, or 28%,
compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in revenues was
primarily driven by increased production on the B737 program in the current
period. The variance also includes the impact of decreased production revenues
on the B787, B747 and B767 programs, which was partially offset by increased
B777 program revenue on strut and nacelle end items, increased A320 and A220
program revenue, greater Bombardier business jet revenue, and increased Airbus
non-recurring revenue as compared to the prior year period.

 Commercial segment operating margins were (4%) for the three months ended
June 30, 2022, compared to (6%) for the same period in the prior year. The
margin for the three months ended June 30, 2022 includes the impact of $23.9
million of the total charge, mentioned above, in relation to the suspension of
activities related to customers in Russia due to the Russian invasion of
Ukraine, and the associated sanctions. An offsetting increase in margin was
driven by lower excess capacity costs, workforce adjustment costs, and
restructuring costs in the current period. The incremental margin impact of the
greater volume of B737 program sales and lower forward losses relative to the
prior year period on the B787 and A350 production programs was largely offset by
margin deterioration on the A320, A220, RB3070, B767, Bombardier business jet,
and A350 non-recurring programs versus the prior year period. In the second
quarter of 2022, the segment recorded unfavorable cumulative catch-up
adjustments of $7.9 million and net forward loss charges of $59.4 million. In
comparison, during the second quarter of 2021, the segment recorded favorable
cumulative catch-up adjustments of $10.5 million and net forward loss charges of
$51.2 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Commercial segment
includes $43.1 million of excess capacity production costs, no net workforce
adjustments as a result of COVID-19, and no net restructuring and other costs,
compared with excess capacity costs of $45.5 million, net workforce reductions
of $2.4 million, and restructuring costs of $4.9 million for the same period in
the prior year.

Defense & Space segment. Defense & Space segment net revenues for the three
months ended June 30, 2022 were $146.4 million, an increase of $4.6 million, or
3%, compared to the same period in the prior year. The variance from the prior
year period includes lower KC-46 Tanker production and classified program
revenue, increased Boeing P-8 production revenue, increased Sikorsky CH-53K
revenue, and greater sales of high-temperature materials and composites from our
Fiber Materials Inc. subsidiary versus the prior year period.

Defense & Space segment operating margins for the second quarter were flat year
over year. Segment operating margins were 9% for the three months ended June 30,
2022, compared to 9% for the same period in the prior year. For the three months
ended June 30, 2022 the Defense & Space segment includes $1.8 million of excess
capacity production costs, compared with excess capacity costs of $2.0 million,
and restructuring costs of $0.2 million for the same period in the prior year.
The segment
                                       41
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of Contents
recorded unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments of $0.1 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2022. The segment recorded net forward loss charges
of $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily on the KC-46
Tanker program, and to a lesser extent the Bell V280 program. In comparison,
during the same period of the prior year, the segment recorded unfavorable
cumulative catch-up adjustments of $0.6 million and net forward loss charges of
$1.0 million.

Aftermarket.  Aftermarket segment net revenues for the three months ended
June 30, 2022 were $80.4 million, an increase of $23.7 million, or 42%, compared
to the same period in the prior year. The increase reflects greater spare part
sales and increased maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) sales activity
compared to the same period in the prior year. Aftermarket segment operating
margins were 15% for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 26% for
the same period in the prior year. The margin for the three months ended
June 30, 2022 includes the impact of $4.2 million of the total charge, mentioned
above, in relation to the suspension of activities related to customers in
Russia due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the associated sanctions. The
decrease in margin also reflects relatively lower margins on spare parts sales
in the current period, partially offset by greater margins on MRO work as
compared to the same period in the prior year. For the three months ended
June 30, 2022 the Aftermarket segment includes no net restructuring and other
costs, compared with restructuring costs of $0.1 million for the same period in
the prior year.


Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 as Compared to Six Months Ended July 1, 2021



Revenue. Net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $2,432.6
million, an increase of $529.7 million, or 27.8%, compared to net revenue of
$1,902.9 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in revenue
was primarily driven by increased production on the B737 program in the current
period. The variance also includes the impact of decreased production revenues
on the B787, B747 and B767 programs, which was largely offset by increased B777
program revenue on strut and nacelle end items, increased A320 and A220 program
revenue, greater Bombardier business jet revenue, Airbus non-recurring revenue,
and increased revenue from aftermarket sales and defense business as compared to
the prior year period. Approximately 82% and 79% of Spirit's net revenues for
the six months ended June 30, 2022 and July 1, 2021, respectively, came from our
two largest customers, Boeing and Airbus.

Total deliveries to Boeing increased to 166 shipsets during the six months ended
June 30, 2022, compared to 123 shipsets delivered in the same period of the
prior year, primarily driven by increased B737 deliveries. Total deliveries to
Airbus increased to 374 shipsets during the six months ended June 30, 2022,
compared to 285 shipsets delivered in the same period of the prior year,
primarily driven by more A320 and A220 deliveries in the current year period.
Deliveries for business/regional jet components increased to 99 shipsets during
the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 89 shipsets delivered in the
same period of the prior year. In total, deliveries increased to 639 shipsets
during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 497 shipsets delivered in
the same period of the prior year.
Gross (Loss) Profit. Gross profit was $15.2 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2022, compared to gross loss of ($70.3) million for the same period in
the prior year. As noted above, we recorded a charge of $28.1 million in the
second quarter of 2022 in relation to the suspension of activities related to
customers in Russia due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the associated
sanctions. The increase in profit from the prior year period includes the impact
of the charge, offset by lower excess capacity costs driven by increased
production during the current year period on B737 MAX, A220 and A320 programs,
increased profit on the B737 program production volume increase over the prior
year period and lower forward losses relative to the prior year period on the
B787 and A350 production programs. The gross profit change from the prior year
period was also impacted margin deterioration on the A320, A220, RB3070,
Bombardier business jet, and A350 non-recurring programs versus the prior year
period, and includes the impact of recognition of $32.6 million of the Aviation
Manufacturing Jobs Protection Program award, which was awarded in the second
half of 2021 and was amortized as a reduction to cost of sales through the
applicable production period that included the first three months of the current
year, and higher COVID related costs in the current year period. In the six
months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized $94.7 million of excess capacity
production costs driven by production schedule changes on B737 MAX, A220 and
A320 programs, and $9.5 million of net workforce adjustments as a result of
COVID-19, compared to prior year excess capacity cost of $115.1 million and
abnormal costs related to workforce adjustments of $4.5 million. In the six
months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized $24.4 million of unfavorable
cumulative catch-up adjustments related to periods prior to the six months ended
June 30, 2022, and $87.5 million of net forward loss charges. The forward losses
recorded in the period were driven by increased estimates for production rate
decreases and build schedule changes, supply chain costs, and other costs,
including costs of rework on the B787 program, increased costs of quality and
production rate decreases on the A350 Program, and anticipated production
recovery costs related to the bankruptcy of a supplier and associated failure to
deliver key parts on the A220 wing program. In the six months ended July 1,
2021, we recorded $0.1 million of favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments
related to periods prior to the six months ended July 1, 2021, and $124.6
million of net forward loss charges on B787, B747, B767, and A350 programs.

                                       42
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of Contents
SG&A and Research and Development. SG&A expense was $10.2 million higher for the
six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in the prior year.
The variance was driven by increased labor, site support, and other
administrative activity, as compared to the prior year period. Greater research
and development activity drove research and development expense $5.7 million
higher for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in
the prior year.

Restructuring Costs. Restructuring costs of $0.2 million for cost-alignment and
headcount reductions as a result of B737 MAX grounding and COVID-19 impacts
decreased $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the
same period in the prior year. The variance reflects the relatively higher
cost-alignment and headcount reduction activity seen in the prior year period.

Operating (Loss) Income. Operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022
was ($146.9) million, an improvement of $76.7 million, compared to operating
loss of ($223.6) million for the same period in the prior year. The improvement
reflects the increased gross profit and changes to restructuring costs, SG&A
costs, and research and development costs mentioned above.

Interest Expense and Financing Fee Amortization. Interest expense and financing
fee amortization for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $4.9 million
compared to the same period in the prior year, driven by lower interest expense
on the repayable investment agreement with BEIS which was in place in the prior
year period but fully settled during the current period (see Note 21 Other
Income (Expense), Net). The six months ended June 30, 2022 includes
$97.6 million of interest and fees paid or accrued in connection with long-term
debt and $3.8 million in amortization of deferred financing costs and original
issue discount, compared to $96.3 million of interest and fees paid or accrued
in connection with long-term debt and $4.6 million in amortization of deferred
financing costs and original issue discount for the same period in the prior
year. See also Note 15 Debt.

Other (Expense) Income, net. Other income, net for the six months ended June 30,
2022 was $72.3 million, compared to a net income of $43.9 million for the same
period in the prior year. The increase in other income reflects a gain in the
current period on the settlement of the repayable investment agreement with BEIS
(see Note 21 Other Income (Expense), Net) and relatively higher foreign currency
gains in the current year period, partially offset by losses in the current
period related to settlement of hedged foreign currency exchange contracts (see
Note 14 Derivative and Hedging Activities), relatively lower pension income,
increased excise tax related to a pension plan assets reversion in the current
period (see Note 16 Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefits), and increased
loss on sale of receivables as compared to the prior year period (see Note 5
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses).

Provision for Income Taxes. Our reported tax rate includes two principal
components: an expected annual tax rate and discrete items resulting in
additional provisions or benefits that are recorded in the quarter that an event
arises. Events or items that could give rise to discrete recognition include
excess tax benefit in respect of share-based compensation, finalizing audit
examinations for open tax years, statute of limitations expiration, or a change
in tax law.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future income tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts for existing asset and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred income tax assets to
an amount that in management's opinion will ultimately be realized. We have
reviewed our material deferred tax assets to determine whether or not a
valuation allowance was necessary. Based on evaluation of both the positive and
negative evidence available, management determined that it was necessary to
continue to maintain a valuation allowance against nearly all of its net U.S.
and U.K. deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2022. The net valuation allowance
was increased by $43.5 million in the U.S. and increased by $4.3 million in the
U.K. for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

The income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2022 includes ($5.3)
million for federal taxes, ($2.1) million for state taxes and ($7.1) million for
foreign taxes. The income tax provision for the six months ended July 1, 2021
includes ($12.3) million for federal taxes, $18.7 million for state taxes and
$0.9 million for foreign taxes. The effective tax rate for the six months ended
June 30, 2022 is 7.67% as compared to (2.44%) for the same period in 2021. As we
are reporting a pre-tax loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022, an increase
in the effective tax rate results in an increase of income tax benefits while a
decrease in the rate results in a reduction of income tax benefits.

The increase from the prior year tax rate (resulting in incremental tax benefit,
given the loss) is attributable primarily to the release of valuation allowance
on projected net operating loss (NOL) utilization in the U.K. The decrease from
the U.S. statutory tax rate (resulting in less tax benefit, given the loss) is
attributable primarily to the valuation allowance, partially offset by state and
R&D credits generated, net of valuation allowance.

Commercial segment, Defense & Space segment, and Aftermarket segment represented
approximately 81%, 13%, and 7%, respectively, of our net revenues for the six
months ended June 30, 2022 and approximately 79%, 15%, and 6% respectively, of
our net revenues for the six months ended July 1, 2021.

Commercial segment. Commercial segment net revenues for the six months ended
June 30, 2022 were $1,969.5 million, an increase of $469.8 million, or 31%,
compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in revenues was
primarily driven by increased production on the B737 program in the current
period. The variance also includes the impact of decreased production revenues
on the B787 and B747 programs, which was partially offset by increased B777
program revenue on strut and nacelle end items, increased A320 and A220 program
revenue, greater Bombardier business jet revenue, and increased Airbus A350 and
non-recurring revenue as compared to the prior year period.

Commercial segment operating margins were (2%) for the six months ended June 30,
2022, compared to (9%) for the same period in the prior year. The margin for the
six months ended June 30, 2022 includes the impact of $23.9 million of the
charge, mentioned above, in relation to the suspension of activities related to
customers in Russia due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the associated
sanctions. The increase in margin, compared to the same period in the prior
year, was driven by lower excess capacity costs and restructuring costs in the
current period. The incremental margin impact of the greater volume of B737
program sales and lower forward losses relative to the prior year period on the
B787 and A350 production programs was partially offset by margin deterioration
on the A320, A220, RB3070, B767, Bombardier business jet, and A350 non-recurring
programs versus the prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2022,
the Commercial segment includes $89.9 million of excess capacity production
costs, $9.5 million of net workforce adjustments as a result of COVID-19, and
($25.5) million, net, of restructuring and other costs, including partial offset
related to the Aviation Manufacturing Jobs Protection Program grant of ($28.4)
million. compared with excess capacity costs of $108.6 million, net workforce
reductions of $4.5 million, and restructuring costs of $6.0 million for the same
period in the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the segment
recorded unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments of $25.2 million and net
forward loss charges of $85.2 million. In comparison, for the six months ended
July 1, 2021, the segment recorded unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments
of $0.4 million and net forward loss charges of $118.8 million.

Defense & Space. Defense & Space segment net revenues for the six months ended
June 30, 2022 were $304.9 million, an increase of $9.7 million, or 3%, compared
to the same period in the prior year. The increase from the prior year period
includes lower KC-46 Tanker production revenue, increased Boeing P-8 production
revenue, increased Sikorsky CH-53K revenue, and greater sales of
high-temperature materials and composites from our Fiber Materials Inc.
subsidiary versus the prior year period.

  Table of Contents
Defense & Space segment operating margins were 11% for the six months ended
June 30, 2022, compared to 8% for the same period in the prior year. The
increase in operating income margin for the segment was driven largely by lower
excess capacity production costs, lower restructuring costs, and current year
recognition of the Aviation Manufacturing Jobs Protection Program grant. The
variance also includes the impact of comparatively lower forward loss charges in
the current year period, primarily on the KC-46 Tanker program. For the six
months ended June 30, 2022, the Defense & Space segment includes $4.8 million of
excess capacity production costs and ($2.3) million, net, of restructuring and
other costs, including partial offset related to the Aviation Manufacturing Jobs
Protection Program grant of ($2.3) million, compared with excess capacity costs
of $6.5 million and restructuring costs of $1.1 million for the same period in
the prior year. The segment recorded favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments
of $0.8 million and net forward loss charges of $2.3 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2022. In comparison, during the same period of the prior year,
the segment recorded favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments of $0.5 million
and net forward loss charges of $5.8 million.

Aftermarket. Aftermarket segment net revenues for the six months ended June 30,
2022 were $158.2 million, an increase of $50.2 million, or 46%, compared to the
same period in the prior year. The increase reflects greater spare part sales
and increased maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) sales activity compared to
the same period in the prior year. Aftermarket segment operating margins were
19% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 24% for the same period
in the prior year. The margin for the six months ended June 30, 2022 includes
the impact of $4.2 million of the charge, mentioned above, in relation to the
suspension of activities related to customers in Russia due to the Russian
invasion of Ukraine, and the associated sanctions. For the six months ended
June 30, 2022, the Aftermarket segment includes ($1.9) million, net, of
restructuring and other costs, including partial offset related to the Aviation
Manufacturing Jobs Protection Program grant of ($1.9) million, compared with
restructuring costs of $0.2 million for the same period in the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources



We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our
operating, investing, and financing activities. Our principal source of
liquidity is operating cash flows from continuing operations. Our operating cash
flows from continuing operations have been adversely impacted by the B737 MAX
grounding and the COVID-19 pandemic (and resulting production rate changes
associated with both events) and we expect that adverse impact to continue for
the remainder of 2022 and beyond. For purposes of assessing our liquidity needs
in this section, we have assumed that Boeing would not further reduce the B737
MAX production rate and that other customers generally would not further reduce
their production rates.

As of June 30, 2022, our debt balance was $3,772.5 million. As of June 30, 2022,
we had $770.2 million of cash and cash equivalents on the Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheet, which reflects a decrease of $708.4 million from the cash and
cash equivalents balance of $1,478.6 million as of December 31, 2021.

In connection with the Company's acquisition of select assets of Bombardier
aerostructures and aftermarket services businesses on October 30, 2020, the
Company acquired certain liabilities as previously disclosed including financial
payment obligation under a repayable investment agreement with the U.K.'s
Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. The repayable
investment obligation, which was denominated in GBP, was included on the
Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2021, as $41.7 million
recorded to other current liabilities and $301.9 million recorded to Other
non-current liabilities. In January 2022, the Company made repayments of $25.6
million to the UK's Department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy for
units sold, including interest, in respect to the agreement. In April 2022, the
deed of release settled the remaining outstanding repayment obligation in
exchange for a payment of $292.8 million. The portion of the payments related to
interest expense and the portion of the payments related to principal repayment
are included in net cash used in operating activities and net cash used in
financing activities, respectively, on the Company's Condensed Consolidated
Statement of Cash Flows for the period ended June 30, 2022.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Department of Transportation
approved our grant claim of $75.5 million filed under the Aviation Manufacturing
Jobs Protection Program, a component of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. As
of June 30, 2022, we have received the full amount approved of $75.5 million.
See also Note 5, Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses.

We have agreements to sell, on a revolving basis, certain trade accounts
receivable balances with Boeing, Airbus, and Rolls-Royce to third-party
financial institutions. These programs were primarily entered into as a result
of Boeing and Airbus seeking payment term extensions with us, and they continue
to allow us to monetize the receivables prior to their payment date, subject to
payment of a discount. Our ability to continue using such agreements is
primarily dependent upon the strength of Boeing's, Airbus's, and Rolls-Royce's
financial condition. If any of these financial institutions involved with these
arrangements experiences financial difficulties, becomes unwilling to support
Boeing, Airbus, or Rolls-Royce due to a deterioration in their financial
condition or otherwise, or is otherwise unable to honor the terms of the
factoring arrangements, we may experience significant disruption and potential
liquidity issues, which could have an adverse impact upon our operating
                                       45

results, financial condition and cash flows. For the six months ended June 30,
2022, $1,309.6 million of accounts receivable were sold via these arrangements.

Based on current operating trends, we believe our cash on hand and cash flows
generated from operations, together with other potential sources of liquidity
and our ability to vary our cost structure quickly, will provide sufficient
liquidity for the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future beyond the
next twelve months. Nevertheless, we could experience significant fluctuations
in our cash flows from period to period, particularly during the current
aviation industry crisis. We use our cash for many activities, including
operations, M&A integration activities, capital expenditures, debt service, and
working capital. While we may be able to modify, defer or eliminate some of
these uses to manage our cash consumption, other uses are relatively fixed and
are difficult to modify in the short-term. As of June 30, 2022, we were in
compliance with all applicable covenants in the agreements governing our
indebtedness.


Cash Flows

The following table provides a summary of our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and July 1, 2021:

Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 as Compared to Six Months Ended July 1, 2021



Operating Activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net cash
outflow of $331.7 million from operating activities, an increase in net outflow
of $134 million compared to a net cash outflow of $197.7 million for the same
period in the prior year. The increase in net cash outflow primarily represents
working capital growth associated with increased production activities as
compared to the prior year. The cash outflows from working capital growth offset
the impact of comparatively greater earnings and the pension asset reversion to
cash discussed in Note 16 Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefits. The
variance to the prior year period also includes cash repayments of $61.5 million
made in the current year of the advance payment received from Boeing on the B737
program, and the interest payment associated with the settlement of the
repayable investment agreement between the Company and the U.K.'s Department for
Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy . See also Note 12 Advance Payments and
Note 21 Other Income (Expense), Net.

Investing Activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net cash outflow of $47.4 million for investing activities, a decrease in outflow of $24.8 million compared to a net cash outflow of $72.2 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease primarily relates to the prior year acquisition of Applied Aerodynamics.



Financing Activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net cash
outflow of $321.8 million for financing activities, a decrease in outflow of
$10.2 million, compared to a net cash outflow of $332.0 million for the same
period in the prior year. The decreased cash outflow was primarily driven by the
differences between the $289.5 million current year principal repayment of the
repayable investment agreement between the Company and the U.K.'s Department for
Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, and the prior year redemption of the
$300.0 million principal amount of the $300 million aggregate principal amount
of Senior Floating Rate Notes due 2021. During the six months ended June 30,
2022, we paid a dividend of $2.2 million to our stockholders of record, compared
to a dividend of $2.2 million paid in the same period in the prior year. There
were no repurchases of Common Stock under our share repurchase program during
either the six months ended June 30, 2022 or July 1, 2021.

Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefit Obligations

As disclosed in the Company's 2021 Form 10-K, effective October 1, 2021, we spun
off a portion of the existing Pension Value Plan ("PVP A"), called PVP B. As
part of the PVP B plan termination process, a lump sum offering was provided
during 2021 for PVP B participants and the final asset distribution was
completed in the first quarter of 2022. At June 30, 2022, a pension reversion
asset of $70.3 million is recorded on the Restricted plan assets line item on
the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Restricted plan assets are expected
to be reduced over the next seven years as they are distributed to employees
under a qualified compensation and benefit program.

Separately, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we withdrew
$34.0 million of cash from PVP B, which represented an excess plan assets
reversion. This transaction was accounted for as a negative contribution, and is
included on the Pension plans employer contributions line item on the Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Excise tax of $6.8 million related to the reversion of excess plan assets was
separately recorded to the Other income (expense), net line item on the
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2022. See also Note 21 Other Income (Expense), Net.

Our U.S. pension plan remained fully funded at June 30, 2022. Our plan
investments are broadly diversified and we do not anticipate a near-term
requirement to make cash contributions to our U.S. pension plan. See Note 16,
Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefits, for more information on the
Company's pension plans. Other than the reversion of excess plan assets noted
above, which was accounted for as a negative contribution, the Company's
expected contributions for the current year have not significantly changed from
those described in the Company's 2021 Form 10-K. The Shorts' Pension is in a
deficit position and there is a risk that additional contributions will be
required to fund the deficit from the trustees or the U.K. Pension Regulator as
described under Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of our 2021 Form 10-K.


Derivatives Accounted for as Hedges

Cash Flow Hedges - Foreign Currency Forward Contract



The Company has entered into a series of currency forward contracts, each
designated as a cash flow hedge upon the date of execution, for the purpose of
reducing the variability of cash flows and hedging against the foreign currency
exposure for forecasted payroll, pension and vendor disbursements that are
expected to be made in the British pound sterling at our operations located in
Belfast, Northern Ireland. The hedging program implemented is intended to reduce
foreign currency exposure, and the associated forward currency contracts hedge
forecasted transactions through March 2023. Changes in the fair value of cash
flow hedges are recorded in AOCI and recorded in earnings in the period in which
the hedged transaction settles. The loss recognized in AOCI was $17.0 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Within the next 12 months, the Company
expects to recognize a loss of $13.3 million in earnings related to the foreign
currency forward contracts. As of June 30, 2022, the maximum term of the hedged
forecasted transaction was 9 months.

Derivatives Not Accounted for as Hedges



During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company entered into foreign
currency forward contracts in the amount of $291.5 million to minimize the risk
of currency exchange rate movements on the Company's planned settlement of the
repayable investment agreement between the Company and the U.K.'s Department for
Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. During the six-month period ended
June 30, 2022, these foreign currency forward contracts were settled and new
contracts were entered into in the amount of $293.7 million, which were also
settled during the period. The Company did not designate these forward contracts
as hedges or apply hedge accounting to the forward contracts. For the six months
ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a net gain of $1.6 million to other
income on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations related to the
foreign currency forward contracts.

See Note 14, Derivative and Hedging Activities, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I of this Quarterly Report for more information.

Debt and Other Financing Arrangements

As of June 30, 2022, the outstanding balance of the senior secured Term Loan B Credit Agreement was $595.5 million and the carrying value was $592.8 million.

As of June 30, 2022, the outstanding balance of the 2023 Notes and the 2028 Notes was $300.0 million and $700.0 million, respectively, and the carrying value was $299.5 million and $695.6 million, respectively.

Information Regarding Guarantors of Spirit's Notes Registered Under the Securities Act of 1933



Spirit's 2026 Notes are guaranteed by Spirit NC and the Company, and Spirit's
2023 Notes and 2028 Notes are guaranteed by the Company. None of Spirit's notes
are guaranteed by Spirit's or the Company's other domestic subsidiaries or any
foreign subsidiaries (together, the "non-guarantor subsidiaries"). The Company
consolidates each of Spirit and Spirit NC in its consolidated financial
statements. Spirit and Spirit NC are both 100 percent-owned and controlled by
the Company. The Company's guarantees of Spirit's indebtedness are full and
unconditional, except that the guarantees may be automatically released and
relieved upon satisfaction of the requirements for legal defeasance or covenant
defeasance under the applicable indenture being met. The Company's guarantees
are also subject to a standard limitation which provides that the maximum amount
guaranteed by the Company will not exceed the maximum amount that can be
guaranteed without making the guarantee void under fraudulent conveyance laws.

The guarantees of the Company and Spirit NC with respect to Spirit's 2026 Notes
are made on a joint and several basis. The guarantee of Spirit NC is not full
and unconditional because Spirit NC can be automatically released and relieved
of its obligations under certain circumstances, including if it no longer
guarantees Spirit's credit facility. Like the Company's guarantees, the
guarantee of Spirit NC is subject to a standard limitation which provides that
the maximum amount guaranteed by Spirit NC will not exceed the maximum amount
that can be guaranteed without making the guarantee void under fraudulent
conveyance laws.

All of the existing guarantees by the Company and Spirit NC rank equally in
right of payment with all of the guarantors' existing and future senior
indebtedness. The secured indebtedness of the Company and Spirit NC (including
guarantees of Spirit's existing and future secured indebtedness) will be
effectively senior to guarantees of any unsecured indebtedness to the extent of
the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. Future guarantees of
subordinated indebtedness will rank junior to any existing and future senior
indebtedness of the guarantors. The guarantees are structurally junior to any
debt or obligations of non-guarantor subsidiaries, including all debt or
obligations of subsidiaries that are released from their guarantees of the
notes. As of June 30, 2022, indebtedness of our non-guarantor subsidiaries
included $205.2 million of outstanding borrowings under intercompany agreements
with guarantor subsidiaries and $18.2 million of finance leases of our
non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Based on our understanding of Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X ("Rule 3-10"), we
believe that the Company's guarantees of Spirit's indebtedness comply with the
conditions set forth in Rule 3-10, which enable us to present summarized
financial information for the Company, Spirit and Spirit NC, which is a
consolidated guarantor subsidiary, in accordance with Rule 13-01 of Regulation
S-X. The summarized financial information excludes information regarding the
non-guarantor subsidiaries. In accordance with Rule 3-10, separate financial
statements of the guarantor subsidiaries have not been presented.

The following tables include summarized financial information of Spirit,
Holdings, and Spirit NC (together, the "obligor group"). Investments in and
equity in the earnings of the Company's other subsidiaries (the "Non-Guarantor
Subsidiaries"), which are not a member of the obligor group, have been excluded.
The summarized financial information of the obligor group is presented on a
combined basis for Spirit and Holdings, and separately for Spirit NC, with
intercompany balances and transactions between entities in the obligor group
eliminated. The obligor group's amounts due from, amounts due to and
transactions with Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries have been presented in separate
line items, if they are material. There are no non-controlling interest in any
of the obligor group entities.

Supply Chain Financing Applicable to Suppliers



We have provided our suppliers with access to a supply chain financing program
through a facility with a third-party financing institution. This program was
primarily entered into as a result of seeking payment term extensions with
suppliers, and the program allows suppliers to monetize the receivables prior to
their payment date, subject to payment of a discount. Our suppliers' ability to
continue using such agreements is primarily dependent upon the strength of our
financial condition. While our suppliers' access to this supply chain financing
program could be curtailed if our credit ratings are downgraded, we do not
expect that changes in the availability of supply chain financing to our
suppliers will have a significant impact on our liquidity.

The balance of payables to suppliers who elected to participate in the supply
chain financing program included in our accounts payable balance as of June 30,
2022 was $95.7 million. The balance as of July 1, 2021 was $55.5 million.
Payables to suppliers who elected to participate in the supply chain financing
program increased by $36.8 million over the six-month period ended June 30,
2022. Payables to suppliers who elected to participate in the supply chain
financing program did not significantly increase or decrease over the six-month
period ended July 1, 2021. The changes in each period primarily reflect
purchases from suppliers related to production during the applicable period in
relation to the immediately preceding period and not any changes in the
availability of supply chain financing.

Advance Payments



Advances on the B787 Program.  Boeing has made advance payments to Spirit under
the B787 Supply Agreement that are required to be repaid to Boeing by way of
offset against the purchase price for future shipset deliveries. As of June 30,
2022, the amount of advance payments received by us from Boeing under the B787
Supply Agreement and not yet repaid was approximately $211.2 million.

Advances on the B737 Program. In an effort to minimize the disruption to
Spirit's operations and its supply chain, Spirit and Boeing entered into a
Memorandum of Agreement on April 12, 2019 (the "2019 MOA"), which included the
terms and conditions for an advance payment to be made from Boeing to Spirit in
the amount of $123 million, which was received during the third quarter of 2019.
The parties entered into another memorandum of agreement on February 6, 2020
(the "2020 MOA"), which extended the repayment date of the $123 million advance
received by Spirit under the 2019 MOA to 2022. The 2020
                                       49

MOA also required Boeing to pay $225 million to Spirit in the first quarter of
2020, consisting of (i) $70 million in support of Spirit's inventory and
production stabilization, of which $10 million was repaid by Spirit in 2021, and
(ii) $155 million as an incremental pre-payment for costs and shipset deliveries
over the next two years. On February 9, 2021, Spirit signed a letter of
agreement under which Boeing paid $38.5 million to Spirit in the first quarter
of 2021, which consisted of (i) $68.5 million as additional pre-payment for the
costs and shipset deliveries less the (ii) $30 million credit owed to Boeing for
rate-based pricing premium. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2022,
$61.5 million of the advance payment was repaid. As of June 30, 2022, the amount
of advance payments received from Boeing and not yet repaid was $61.5 million.

Other. The Advance payments, short-term line item on the Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheet for the period ended June 30, 2022 includes $18.9 million related
to payment received from an Aftermarket segment customer for contracted work
that was impacted by the sanctions imposed by the U.S. and other governments on
Russia following its invasion of Ukraine.



           CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

You should read the discussion of our financial condition and results of
operations in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements and the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Quarterly
Report"). The section may include "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements reflect our current
expectations or forecasts of future events. Forward-looking statements generally
can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "aim,"
"anticipate," "believe," "could," "continue," "estimate," "expect," "forecast,"
"goal," "intend," "may," "might," "objective," "plan," "predict," "project,"
"should," "target," "will," "would," and other similar words, or phrases, or the
negative thereof, unless the context requires otherwise. These statements
reflect management's current views with respect to future events and are subject
to risks and uncertainties, both known and unknown, including, but not limited
to, those described in the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report on Form
10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Our actual results may vary materially
from those anticipated in forward-looking statements. We caution investors not
to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in such forward-looking statements and that should be considered in evaluating our outlook include, but are not limited to, the following:



•the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and operations, including
on the demand for our and our customers' products and services, on trade and
transport restrictions, on the global aerospace supply chain, on our ability to
retain the skilled work force necessary for production and development, and
generally on our ability to effectively manage the impacts of the COVID-19
pandemic on our business operations;
•demand for our products and services and the general effect of economic or
geopolitical conditions (including Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the
resultant sanctions being imposed in response to the conflict), or other events,
such as pandemics, in the industries and markets in which we operate in the U.S.
and globally;
•the timing and conditions surrounding the full worldwide return to service
(including receiving the remaining regulatory approvals) of the B737 MAX, future
demand for the aircraft, and any residual impacts of the B737 MAX grounding on
production rates for the aircraft;
•our reliance on The Boeing Company ("Boeing") and Airbus Group SE and its
affiliates (collectively, "Airbus") for a significant portion of our revenues;
•the business condition and liquidity of our customers and their ability to
satisfy their contractual obligations to the Company;
•the certainty of our backlog, including the ability of customers to cancel or
delay orders prior to shipment on short notice, and the potential impact of
regulatory approvals of existing and derivative models;
•our ability to accurately estimate and manage performance, cost, margins, and
revenue under our contracts, and the potential for additional forward losses on
new and maturing programs;
•our accounting estimates for revenue and costs for our contracts and potential
changes to those estimates;
•our ability to continue to grow and diversify our business, execute our growth
strategy, and secure replacement programs, including our ability to enter into
profitable supply arrangements with additional customers;
•the outcome of product warranty or defective product claims and the impact
settlement of such claims may have on our accounting assumptions;
•our dependence on our suppliers, as well as the cost and availability of raw
materials and purchased components, including increases in energy, freight, and
other raw material costs as a result of the sanctions being imposed in response
to Russia's invasion of Ukraine;
•our ability and our suppliers' ability to meet stringent delivery (including
quality and timeliness) standards and accommodate changes in the build rates of
aircraft, including the ability to staff appropriately for anticipated
production volume increases;
                                       50

manufacturing facilities and our suppliers' facilities;
•competitive conditions in the markets in which we operate, including
in-sourcing by commercial aerospace original equipment manufacturers;
•our ability to successfully negotiate, or re-negotiate, future pricing under
our supply agreements with Boeing, Airbus and other customers;
•our ability to effectively integrate the acquisition of select assets of
Bombardier along with other acquisitions that we pursue, and generate synergies
and other cost savings therefrom, while avoiding unexpected costs, charges,
expenses, and adverse changes to business relationships and business
disruptions;
•the possibility that our cash flows may not be adequate for our additional
capital needs;
•any reduction in our credit ratings;
•our ability to access the capital markets to fund our liquidity needs, and the
costs and terms of any additional financing;
•our ability to avoid or recover from cyber or other security attacks and other
operations disruptions;
•legislative or regulatory actions, both domestic and foreign, impacting our
operations, including the effect of changes in tax laws and rates and our
ability to accurately calculate and estimate the effect of such changes;
•our ability to recruit and retain a critical mass of highly skilled employees;
•our relationships with the unions representing many of our employees, including
our ability to successfully negotiate new agreements, and avoid labor disputes
and work stoppages with respect to our union employees;
•spending by the U.S. and other governments on defense;
•pension plan assumptions and future contributions;
•the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting;
•the outcome or impact of ongoing or future litigation, arbitration, claims, and
regulatory actions or investigations, including our exposure to potential
product liability and warranty claims;
•adequacy of our insurance coverage;
•our ability to continue selling certain receivables through our supplier
financing programs; and
•the risks of doing business internationally, including fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates, impositions of tariffs or embargoes, trade
restrictions, compliance with foreign laws, and domestic and foreign government
policies.

These factors are not exhaustive and it is not possible for us to predict all
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
reflected in our forward-looking statements. These factors speak only as of the
date hereof, and new factors may emerge or changes to the foregoing factors may
occur that could impact our business. As with any projection or forecast, these
statements are inherently susceptible to uncertainty and changes in
circumstances. Except to the extent required by law, we undertake no obligation
to, and expressly disclaim any obligation to, publicly update or revise any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise. You should review carefully the section captioned "Risk
Factors" in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for a more complete
discussion of these and other factors that may affect our business.
