Commercial OE – Key Concerns

Boeing and Airbus have responded by aggressively selling aircraft For the first time in 30 years average sale quantities are rising rapidly

Page 19: Holt   aerospace & defense industry

Date: 10/31/2013 Slide 19

Commercial OE – Key Concerns

Source: Credit Suisse research

We expect that these large orders reflect, to some extent, aggressive pricing, which is causing the OEMs to review their cost structure. At Boeing, this is called “Partnering for Success” So suppliers will need to learn how to raise the bar on quality, value and innovation while lowering prices.

Commercial Aftermarket – Surplus Parts Glut

Source: Credit Suisse research

This is creating a two-pronged problem for some suppliers: 1. As fleets get younger, parts for older aircraft are

seeing a demand shortfall. 2. As older aircraft are parked to make room for newer

ones, their parts can cannibalize spares from the original component supplier.

So, suppliers of parts for older aircraft are experiencing pressure that could linger for a while

U.S. Defense Spending in the Context of the Federal Budget

The U.S. Accounts for ~Half of Global Defense Spending

Source: SIPRI; The White House

Even with domestic budgetary pressures, the onset of Sequestration, and continued growth in military expenditure by China, the U.S easily remains the biggest defense spender in the world.

Defense accounts for almost 20% of the total US federal budget, and almost half of discretionary spending.

Defense – Key Concerns Summarized

Source: Credit Suisse research

• US combat operations in southwest Asia are ending, eliminating a big driver of US defense spending

• Resources are dwindling with the big federal deficit. • These dwindling resources are already pressuring order flow, and

will eventually impact long-cycle platform and product businesses and are already affecting short-cycle services activity

• Rising interest rates are mitigating the yield trade

Underperform (U) : The stock’s total return is expected to underperform the relevant benchmark* over the next 12 months. *Relevant benchmark by region: As of 10th December 2012, Japanese ratings are based on a stock’s total return relative to the analyst's coverage universe which consists of all companies covered by the analyst within the relevant sector, with Outperforms representing the most attractive, Neutrals the less attractive, and Underperforms the least attractive investment opportunities.

Commission is the commission rate or the amount agreed with a customer when setting up an account or at any time after that. CS may have issued a Trade Alert regarding this security. Trade Alerts are short term trading opportunities identified by an analyst on the basis of market events and catalysts, while stock ratings reflect an analyst's investment recommendations based on expected total return over a 12-month period relative to the relevant coverage universe. Because Trade Alerts and stock ratings reflect different assumptions and analytical methods, Trade Alerts may differ directionally from the analyst's stock rating. The author(s) of this report maintains a CS Model Portfolio that he/she regularly adjusts.

Important Credit Suisse HOLT Disclosures With respect to the analysis in this report based on the Credit Suisse HOLT methodology, Credit Suisse certifies that (1) the views expressed in this report accurately reflect the Credit Suisse HOLT methodology and (2) no part of the Firm’s compensation was, is, or will be directly related to the specific views disclosed in this report. The Credit Suisse HOLT methodology does not assign ratings to a security. It is an analytical tool that involves use of a set of proprietary quantitative algorithms and warranted value calculations, collectively called the Credit Suisse HOLT valuation model, that are consistently applied to all the companies included in its database. Third-party data (including consensus earnings estimates) are systematically translated into a number of default algorithms available in the Credit Suisse HOLT valuation model. The source financial statement, pricing, and earnings data provided by outside data vendors are subject to quality control and may also be adjusted to more closely measure the underlying economics of firm performance. The adjustments provide consistency when analyzing a single company across time, or analyzing multiple companies across industries or national borders. The default scenario that is produced by the Credit Suisse HOLT valuation model establishes the baseline valuation for a security, and a user then may adjust the default variables to produce alternative scenarios, any of which could occur. Additional information about the Credit Suisse HOLT methodology is available on request. The Credit Suisse HOLT methodology does not assign a price target to a security. The default scenario that is produced by the Credit Suisse HOLT valuation model establishes a warranted price for a security, and as the third-party data are updated, the warranted price may also change. The default variable may also be adjusted to produce alternative warranted prices, any of which could occur.

The price, value of and income from any of the securities or financial instruments mentioned in this report can fall as well as rise. The value of securities and financial instruments is subject to exchange rate fluctuation that may have a positive or adverse effect on the price or income of such securities or financial instruments. Investors in securities such as ADR's, the values of which are influenced by currency volatility, effectively assume this risk. Structured securities are complex instruments, typically involve a high degree of risk and are intended for sale only to sophisticated investors who are capable of understanding and assuming the risks involved. The market value of any structured security may be affected by changes in economic, financial and political factors (including, but not limited to, spot and forward interest and exchange rates), time to maturity, market conditions and volatility, and the credit quality of any issuer or reference issuer. Any investor interested in purchasing a structured product should conduct their own investigation and analysis of the product and consult with their own professional advisers as to the risks involved in making such a purchase. Some investments discussed in this report may have a high level of volatility. High volatility investments may experience sudden and large falls in their value causing losses when that investment is realised. Those losses may equal your original investment. Indeed, in the case of some investments the potential losses may exceed the amount of initial investment and, in such circumstances, you may be required to pay more money to support those losses. Income yields from investments may fluctuate and, in consequence, initial capital paid to make the investment may be used as part of that income yield. Some investments may not be readily realisable and it may be difficult to sell or realise those investments, similarly it may prove difficult for you to obtain reliable information about the value, or risks, to which such an investment is exposed.
