Annual Report
OVERVIEW
Based on our experience in the industry, we believe we are the world's largest manufacturer of cabin interior products for commercial aircraft and for business jets and the leading aftermarket distributor and value added service provider of aerospace fasteners and other consumables products and services. We sell our manufactured products directly to virtually all of the world's major airlines and aerospace manufacturers. In addition, based on our experience, we believe that we have achieved leading global market positions in each of our major product categories, which include:
? a broad line of aerospace fasteners and other consumables, consisting of over one million SKUs, primarily serving the commercial aerospace and business jet industries;
? commercial aircraft seats, including an extensive line of super first class, first class, business class, tourist class and regional aircraft seats;
? a full line of aircraft food and beverage preparation and storage equipment, including coffee makers, water boilers, beverage containers, refrigerators, freezers, chillers and a line of ovens that includes microwave, high efficiency convection and steam ovens;
? modular lavatory systems, wastewater management systems and galley systems;
? both chemical and gaseous aircraft oxygen storage, distribution and delivery systems, protective breathing equipment and a broad range of lighting products; and
? business jet and general aviation interior products, including an extensive line of executive aircraft seats, direct and indirect overhead lighting systems, passenger and crew oxygen systems, air valve systems, and high-end furniture and cabinetry.
We provide comprehensive aircraft cabin interior reconfiguration, program management and certification services. In addition, we also design, engineer and manufacture customized fully integrated thermal and power management solutions for participants in the defense industry, aerospace OEMs and the airlines.
We generally derive our revenues from refurbishment or upgrade programs for the existing worldwide fleets of commercial and general aviation aircraft and from the sale of our cabin interior equipment for new aircraft deliveries as well as consumable products for both the new build market and the aftermarket. For the 2012, 2011 and 2010 years, approximately 39%, 40% and 47% of our revenues, respectively, were derived from the aftermarket, with the remaining portions attributable to the sale of cabin interior equipment associated with new aircraft deliveries. We believe our large installed base of commercial and general aviation aircraft cabin interior products for the principal products of the type which we manufacture, valued at replacement prices, of approximately $9.5 billion as of December 31, 2012, gives us a significant advantage over our competitors in obtaining orders both for spare parts and for refurbishment programs, principally due to the tendency of the airlines to purchase equipment for such programs from the incumbent supplier. Approximately 56% of our backlog is expected to be delivered over the next twelve months, and approximately 22% is expected to be delivered over the following twelve month period.
We conduct our operations through strategic business units that have been aggregated under three reportable segments: commercial aircraft, consumables management and business jet.
Revenues by reportable segment for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

Between 1989 and 2006, we substantially expanded the size, scope and nature of our business through 28 acquisitions for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.2 billion. In 2008 we acquired HCS for the aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.0 billion. The HCS business distributed consumables parts and supplies to aviation industry manufacturers, airlines and aircraft repair and overhaul facilities. The combination of HCS with our consumables management segment positioned us as the leading global distributor and value-added provider of aerospace fasteners and other consumable products. The combined business serves as a distributor for every major aerospace fastener manufacturer in the world.
In October 2010, we acquired Satair and TSI for a net purchase price of approximately $162 and $307, respectively. Satair is a distributor of consumables to European and Asia Pacific aerospace manufacturers and their suppliers and is included as a component of our consumables management segment. TSI is a market leader in the design, engineering and manufacturing of customized, fully integrated thermal management and interconnect solutions that address complex power management requirements of a broad range of customers in the aerospace and defense industries and is included as a component of our commercial aircraft segment. During 2011, we completed four smaller acquisitions to bolster key technologies and sold two non-core businesses, resulting in a net investment of approximately $41. In January 2012, we acquired UFC, a leading provider of complex supply chain management and inventory logistics solutions, for a net purchase price of approximately $405. In July 2012, we acquired Interturbine for a net purchase price of approximately $245. Interturbine's product range includes chemicals, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, adhesives, coatings and composites. Interturbine also supplies fasteners, cables and wires, electronic components, electrical and electromechanical materials, tools, hot bonding equipment and ground equipment to its primary customer base of airlines and MROs globally. UFC and Interturbine are included as components of our consumables management segment.
New product development is a strategic initiative for us. Our customers regularly request that we engage in new product development and enhancement activities. We believe that these activities protect and enhance our leadership position. We believe our investments in research and development over the past several years have been the driving force behind our ongoing market share gains. At December 31, 2012 we employed approximately 1,724 engineers and program managers. Research, development and engineering spending was approximately 6.2% of sales during 2012. We expect research and development expenditures to remain at a similar percentage of sales for the next several years.
We also believe in providing our businesses with the tools required to remain competitive. In that regard, we have invested, and will continue to invest, in property and equipment that enhances our productivity. Taking into consideration recent program awards to deliver multi-year programs for various Airbus and Boeing aircraft, our targeted capacity utilization levels, recent acquisitions and current industry conditions, we expect that capital expenditures will be approximately $135 - $145 during 2013.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, consolidated revenues of $3,085.3 increased $585.5, or 23.4%, as a result of a higher level of new aircraft deliveries, a higher level of aftermarket activity associated with the retrofit of existing aircraft, and ongoing maintenance of the global fleet of aircraft. Commercial aircraft segment ("CAS") 2012 revenues of $1,551.2 increased by $249.2, or 19.1%, as compared with 2011. Consumables management segment ("CMS") 2012 revenues of $1,171.0 increased by $227.5, or 24.1%, as compared with 2011. Business jet segment ("BJS") 2012 revenues of $363.1 increased by $108.8, or 42.8%. Organic revenue growth, excluding the UFC and Interturbine acquisitions completed in 2012, was approximately 14.9%.
Cost of sales for 2012 of $1,921.2 increased by $357.7, as compared with the prior year, primarily due to the higher level of revenues. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues was 62.3% in 2012 and decreased by 20 basis points as compared with 2011, primarily due to an improved mix of products sold, ongoing manufacturing efficiencies and global supply chain and program management initiatives.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for 2012 were $432.4, or 14.0% of revenues, as compared with $349.7, or 14.0% of revenues in 2011. The higher level of SG&A expense in the current year is primarily due to costs and expenses associated with a $585.5, or 23.4%, increase in revenues, recent acquisitions ($30.1) and acquisition, integration and transition ("AIT") costs ($17.2).
Research, development and engineering expenses for 2012 were $191.7, or 6.2% of sales, as compared to $158.6, or 6.3%, of sales in 2011 and reflect the higher level of spending associated with customer specific engineering activities. 2012 research, development and engineering expenses include new product development activities and certification efforts related to a number of new products, including our modular lavatory system for the Boeing 737, lightweight vacuum wastewater management systems, trash compactors and LED lighting. The $33.1 increase in research, development and engineering expenses as a percentage of sales is primarily due to the higher level of new product development activities in our commercial aircraft segment associated with our record $8.25 billion booked and unbooked backlog. During 2012, we applied for 184 U.S. and foreign patents as compared with 145 during 2011.
For the year ended December 31, 2012, operating earnings of $540.0 increased 26.2% as compared with the prior year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Current Financial Condition
As of December 31, 2012, our net debt-to-net-capital ratio was 39.9%. Net debt was $1,446.8, which represented total debt of $1,960.5 less cash and cash equivalents of $513.7. At December 31, 2012, net capital (total debt plus total stockholders' equity less cash and cash equivalents) was $3,625.7. As of December 31, 2012, long-term debt consisted of $1,300.0 aggregate principal amount ($1,315.0 inclusive of original issue premium) of our 5.25% senior unsecured notes due 2022 (the "5.25% Notes") and $650.0 aggregate principal amount ($645.2 net of original issue discount) of our 6.875% senior unsecured notes due 2020 (the "6.875% Notes"). At December 31, 2012, there were no amounts outstanding under our five-year $950.0 revolving credit facility, as amended and restated as of August 3, 2012 (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). Cash on hand at December 31, 2012 increased by $210.2 as compared with cash on hand at December 31, 2011 primarily as a result of cash flows from operating activities of $355.1, plus $1,316.0 of net proceeds from our 5.25% Notes, less expenditures for acquisitions of $649.7, less $702.5 related to the repurchase of our 8.5% senior unsecured notes (the "8.5% Notes"), including fees and expenses and less capital expenditures of $125.4. Our liquidity requirements consist of working capital needs, ongoing capital expenditures and payments of interest and principal on our indebtedness. Our primary requirements for working capital are directly related to the level of our operations.
Working capital as of December 31, 2012 was $2,005.9, an increase of $401.0 as compared with working capital at December 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2012, total current assets increased by $581.7 and total current liabilities increased by $180.7. The increase in current assets related to the $210.2 increase in cash as described above, a $68.5 increase in accounts receivable, and an increase in inventories of $272.5 to support future revenue growth. Accounts receivable and inventories increased by $58.6 and $120.2, respectively, due to the UFC and Interturbine acquisitions. The increase in total current liabilities was primarily due to an increase in accounts payable of $86.9, an increase in accrued liabilities of $94.0. Accounts payable were higher at December 31, 2012 primarily due to the increase in business activity. Accrued liabilities also increased due to higher levels of accrued compensation expense ($18.4), accrued interest ($6.5), deferred revenues ($4.3) and other accrued liabilities. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased by $35.1 and $41.4, respectively, due to the UFC and Interturbine acquisitions, including an adjustment to the allocation of the UFC purchase price to increase accrued liabilities by approximately $30.5 related to certain customer contracts which were priced below market and a portion of which were generating losses.
