Summary Outlook

Build rates and new programs should result in double digit growth for years to come for Commercial Aerospace market Cost control, increased in-house carbon fiber and productivity initiatives should deliver 23% incremental Operating Income leverage Over the mid-term, we expect to generate significant Free Cash Flow with capital expenditure spending average less than $200 million per year Our Priorities for Cash Usage:
1. Organic Growth Investing in R&T and Capacity to support expected Demand 2. M&A opportunities Technology, adjacencies or bolt-on that fit Focus 3. Return to shareholders ($50 million share repurchase completed in 1H 2013 and an additional $150 million recently authorized)
We are a technology driven company focused on Advanced Composites, targeting markets with long term growth potential where we can establish a sustainable, competitive advantage

Balance Sheet and Outlook to Deliver Growth (Organic + M&A) and Return to Shareholders
