Investor PRESENTATION on growth opportunities and excellence in delivery

 

 

Cobham is today holding a presentation for investors and analysts in London, starting at 2.30pm, UK time. A live webcast of the event will be available on www.cobhaminvestors.com.

 

Cobham's three Technology Division Presidents will cover the market positions and growth opportunities for each of their businesses.

 

In addition, there will be a presentation on the Excellence in Delivery programme, announced in August 2010, which will simplify the Group through the implementation of standardised processes and by consolidating manufacturing operations to 14 principal sites, which are expected to contribute some 80% of technology profit in 2013, with some smaller specialist sites remaining.

 

The programme is expected to deliver annual savings of £65 million by the end of 2013, at a total cost to implement of £131 million. The anticipated phasing of the annual savings and the annual costs to implement is as follows:

Andy Stevens, Cobham Chief Executive Officer, will say:

 

"2010 has been a challenging year with an unusual level of slippage in orders, primarily on six specific programmes, while in other areas we have seen good growth. We have good programme positions and order book, with technologies and products in areas of priority for customers. In case delays and deferrals persist we are configuring the business with a more prudent view of top line growth in 2011, by accelerating some cost savings from the Excellence in Delivery programme.

 

"This programme will significantly improve the way we work, and is already delivering significant cost savings. It will enhance our customer delivery, reduce our cost base and improve our profitability by £65 million by the end of 2013."
