DATA SOURCE The Flight International Aerospace Top 100 was compiled by
aerospace specialists at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) www.pwc.com.
The information used in preparing this report has been obtained solely from
company annual reports and other publicly available information. PwC has not
sought to establish the reliability of this information and has not veried such

COMPANY/DIVISIONS The top line of the nancial gures refers to
consolidated results for the overall group, including non-aerospace business.
The divisional gures are for those businesses that are fully or largely
concerned with aerospace. Groups have been ranked by their aerospace sales
for 2005, calculated from those divisions that operate primarily in the industry.

Sectors involved with aircraft, aeroengines, avionics, missiles, space and


aerostructures are largely straightforward, but telecommunications, systems
and some overhaul operations are included only where these are included
within a division largely concerned with aerospace activities. Satellite services
have been excluded wherever possible, as have companies and divisions
that derive more than 50% of their sales from services such as aircraft leasing.
Where acquisitions were made within the accounting period, pro-forma
accounts have been used for the 12-month consolidated performance.
Joint ventures have been included in revenue and prot nancials. Intersegment sales have been excluded from operating results and prots for
divisions wherever possible. However, when not possible, divisional results
have been presented inclusive of inter-division sales, resulting in aerospace

group sales multiplied by the total operating prot has been calculated. Where
total group sales or total group operating prot has not been identied, previous
years gures are assumed.
RETURN ON CAPITAL EMPLOYED (ROCE) Return on Capital Employed
(ROCE) is calculated as earnings before interest expenses, taxes, unusual items
and minority interests divided by year-end total assets less year-end non-interest
bearing current liabilities.
INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (IFRS) The
introduction of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) was
implemented by some aerospace companies during both 2004 and 2005.
This has resulted in revisions to 2004 gures; in such circumstances, we have
restated 2004 gures for the new accounting standard.

EXCHANGE RATES An average exchange rate for the period 1 January to 31
December 2005 has been used for all non-US companies, regardless of scal

terms to avoid unnecessary distortions.
COUNTRY All companies have been listed by country of headquarters,
independent of production or operating territories.
OPERATING RESULTS Generally taken as the prot (or loss) before interest,
tax, and exceptional items, and after depreciation. The measure gives a guide
