Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc., [NYSE: SPR] reported second quarter 2016 financial results driven by strong operating performance of mature programs. Spirit's second quarter 2016 revenue was $1.8 billion, up eight percent compared to the same period of 2015, primarily driven by higher production deliveries on the A350 XWB and A320 programs, one-time claim settlements, and higher Global Customer Support and Services activity.

During the quarter, Spirit concluded long-standing negotiations with Airbus and reached a comprehensive agreement on the A350 XWB program. As a result of the agreement, Spirit extended the block to 800 shipsets and recorded an additional net forward-loss of $135.7 million in the second quarter.

"We are very pleased to reach this resolution with Airbus. The comprehensive agreement strengthens our partnership with Airbus and positions Spirit to extend our collaboration with them in the future," said new Spirit President and Chief Executive Officer Tom Gentile.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2016 was $83 million, compared to $230 million in the second quarter of 2015, reflecting the impact of the charge associated with the Airbus settlement and other one-time items (former CEO retirement costs and debt refinancing charges). Reported earnings per share was $0.35, or $1.21* per share excluding the one-time items, compared to $1.11 per share (or $1.09* adjusted) in the same period of 2015. (Table 1)

"We are revising our earnings per share guidance to $3.45 - $3.65, which includes $0.86 per share impact of the one-time items. Adjusted for the one-time items, this translates into EPS guidance of $4.30 - $4.50*. We are also increasing our free cash flow guidance to a new range of $350 - $400 million. We continue to support the guidance we provided last quarter for revenue to be between $6.6 and $6.7 billion," Gentile added.

"With regard to capital deployment, we remain committed to our strategy of utilizing an opportunistic and disciplined approach. In the second quarter, we purchased 3.3 million shares for $152 million, which brings the total year to date to 6.9 million shares for $318 million. We plan to continue to execute on the current repurchase program of up to $600 million through December 2017," Gentile concluded.

Spirit's backlog at the end of the second quarter of 2016 was approximately $47 billion, with work packages on all platforms in the Boeing and Airbus backlog of approximately 12,500 aircraft.

Free cash flow from operations in the second quarter of 2016 was $161 million*, compared to adjusted free cash flow of $163 million* in the same quarter last year, adjusted for the impact of the 787 interim pricing agreement. (Table 2)

Financial Outlook and Risk to Future Financial Results

Spirit revenue guidance for the full-year 2016 remains unchanged and is expected to be between $6.6 - $6.7 billion.

Segment Results

Fuselage Systems

Fuselage Systems segment revenue in the second quarter of 2016 was up 3 percent to $915 million due to higher production deliveries on the A350 XWB program, higher revenue recognized on certain non-recurring Boeing programs and increased Global Customer Support and Service activity, offset by lower production deliveries on the 747 program and decreased non-recurring production activity on the Sikorsky CH-53K. Operating margin for the second quarter of 2016 was 2.1 percent as compared to 18.9 percent during the same period of 2015, primarily driven by the $135.7 million net forward-loss on the A350 XWB program. In the second quarter of 2015, the company recorded pretax $11 million favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments on mature programs and a favorable change in estimates on forward-loss programs of $4 million.

Propulsion Systems

Propulsion Systems segment revenue in the second quarter of 2016 increased 9 percent to $482 million driven by higher revenue recognized on certain non-recurring Boeing programs, increased propulsion activity on the 787 program and increased Global Support and Services activity. Operating margin for the second quarter of 2016 was 15.4 percent as compared to 20.0 percent in the second quarter of 2015. In the second quarter of 2016, the segment realized pretax ($8.8) million unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments on mature programs and a ($2.4) million unfavorable change in estimates on forward-loss programs. In comparison, the segment realized pretax $7 million favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments on mature programs and a ($1) million unfavorable change in estimates on forward-loss programs in the second quarter of 2015.

Wing Systems

Wing Systems segment revenue in the second quarter of 2016 increased 15 percent to $424 million due to higher production deliveries on the A350 XWB and A320 programs and one-time claim settlements with customers, partially offset by lower net revenue recognized on certain non-recurring Boeing programs. Operating margin for the second quarter of 2016 was 15.3 percent as compared to 13.6 percent during the same period of 2015, due to favorable labor and material cost performance and a favorable impact of fixed overhead absorption as a result of higher production rates. In the second quarter of 2016, the segment recorded pretax $9.8 million favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments primarily due to customer settlements and a favorable change in estimates on forward-loss programs of $1.2 million. In comparison, the segment recorded pretax ($1) million unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments on mature programs in the second quarter of 2015.
