Foreword CEO

Dear Shareholders!

The first three quarters of our business year 2015/16 were mostly in line with our expectations. The ramp-up of several core programmes first and foremost, those for the Airbus A350, Challenger 350 as well as Legacy 450/500 continue to pose considerable challenges, while at the same time securing FACC AG's future growth. Besides, these programmes also made a significant contribution to the marked increase in product revenues of 12.2% to EUR 385.7 million in the first three quarters of 2015/16.

The improvement in earnings, which continued throughout the third quarter of 2015/16, is – in my opinion and that of the FACC AG management – further proof of our comprehensive expertise: we were not only able to increase revenues significantly in the third quarter of 2015/16 but also to report an increase in earnings of 43.6% to EUR 7.9 million compared to the same period in the previous year. Cumulative earnings after the first three quarters of 2015/16 rose by EUR 23.0 million thanks to our concerted efforts in the implementation of our Operational Excellence Initiatives along with increased production volumes over the last few months.

As I have already mentioned in the interim report for the second quarter 2015/16, I would like to consider the progress made so far in the year under review only as a further step towards a sustainably stable earnings development.

Major operating improvements in terms of implementation and essential negotiations with customers are still underway and will require further concerted efforts in the remaining months of the 2015/16 business year and beyond.

In light of the cyber fraud of which FACC AG has been the victim, occurred after the reporting period,

at the current status of investigations a valid outlook for the consolidated results is not possible.

Walter A. Stephan Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of FACC AG

Current business situation

ORDER BACKLOG

FACC AG's order backlog consists of firm orders placed directly by customers that commit the Group to delivering products or providing services. The total order backlog at the end of the third quarter totalling almost USD 5.2 billion is based on firm orders placed by the airlines with FACC AG's customers (firm order backlog). The total order backlog corresponds, arithmetically, to a production workload of roughly six years.

Investments for the period 12.9 20.2 -36.1% 37.8 55.3 -31.7%

At the end of the third quarter of 2015/16, revenues amounted to EUR 427.8 million (comparative period in 2014/15: EUR 381.8 million). This growth in revenues was mainly driven by the increase in product revenues from EUR 343.8 million as of 30 November 2014 to EUR 385.7 million as of 30 November 2015, with revenues related to development services also rising by 11.0% to EUR 42.1 million in the period under review.

The main drivers with regard to product revenues were the Boeing 787, Airbus A321, Airbus A350 XWB, Bombardier Challenger 350 and Embraer Legacy 450/500 programmes. Revenues related to development services were positively affected by the billing of a re-design development service.

The change in costs for materials and other purchased services were affected by higher output rates in the period under review compared to the same period in the previous year. Due to the early stage of the industrialisation process with regard to some projects in the Interiors segment, material costs in this segment were temporarily higher. Besides, the Engines & Nacelles segment reported high material costs mainly driven by product changes.

Staff costs were below the previous year's level mainly due to a lower headcount combined with simultaneously higher production output.

In the period under review, amortisation and depreciation charges amounted to EUR 18.7 million (comparative period in 2014/15: EUR 15.9 million). This increase developed as planned in line with the investment activities of previous reporting periods.

Revenues in the Engines & Nacelles segment amounted to EUR 202.1 million at the end of the third quarter of 2015/16 (comparative period in 2014/15: EUR 201.0 million). Revenues from product deliveries decreased slightly by 2.2% to EUR 175.2 million in the period under review. The slight drop in product revenues compared to the previous period is mainly attributable to lower orders placed for the B737 Split Scimitar Winglets. In contrast, revenues from the Airbus A350 and A321 growth project developed according to plan.

Revenues from development activities amounted to EUR 27.0 million at the end of the third quarter of 2015/16, increasing by EUR 5.0 million compared to same period of 2014/15.

Earnings before interest, taxes and fair-value measurement (EBIT) in the Aerostructures segment stood at EUR 25.7 million in the first three quarters of 2015/16 (comparative period in 2014/15: EUR 13.9 million).

Engines & Nacelles

Revenues in the Engines & Nacelles segment amounted to EUR 83.3 million at the end of the third quarter of 2015/16 (comparative period in 2014/15: EUR 65.0 million). Revenues from product deliveries rose significantly by 30.6% to EUR 78.3 million. This growth was mainly driven by the Airbus A350 programme as well as by rising revenues in the engine composites area. Revenues from development activities stood at EUR 5.0 million in the period under review (comparative period in 2014/15: EUR 5.1 million).

Earnings before interest, taxes and fair-value measurement (EBIT) in the Engines & Nacelles segment stood at EUR -5.6 million in the first three quarters of 2015/16 (comparative period in 2014/15: EUR -18.3 million). Improvements in efficiency in connection with the Boeing 787 and Airbus A350 Nacelles programmes led to an increase in earnings compared to the previous year.

However, the B787 TRSL programme continued to have a negative impact on the earnings performance of the division and consequently on overall group results (please also refer to financial reporting for the full-year 2014/15). This is mainly attributable to significant changes in the scope of work and to product modifications, which led to a considerable increase in product costs. Negotiations started in previous quarters on potential price adjustments are currently well on track but have not been concluded yet.

Revenues in the Interiors segment amounted to EUR 142.4 million at the end of the third quarter of 2015/16 (comparative period in 2014/15: EUR 115.8 million). Revenues from product deliveries rose significantly by 26.2% to EUR 132.3 million, driven by higher delivery levels for the Airbus A350, Embraer Legacy 450/500 as well as Bombardier Challenger 350 programmes. Revenues from development activities stood at EUR 10.1 million in the period under review (comparative period in 2014/15: EUR 10.9 million).

Earnings before interest, taxes and fair-value measurement (EBIT) in the Interiors segment amounted to EUR -6.2 million in the first three quarters of 2015/16 (comparative period in 2014/15: EUR -4.7 million). The earnings situation of the segment in the period under review continued to be negatively impacted by high production costs in connection with the cabin interiors of the new A350 XWB programme as well as with the Embraer Legacy 450/500 and Bombardier Challenger 350 business jet interior projects. Production costs were negatively affected by a temporary increase in material purchase costs along with FACC's onsite support costs at the customer's premises as a result of assembly operations.

FINANCIAL POSITION

At the end of the first three quarters of 2015/16, total investments including capital expenditures related to development costs amounted to EUR 37.8 million (comparative period in 2014/15: EUR 55.3 million). Capitalised development costs contained in investments amounted to EUR 18.7 million (comparative period in 2014/15: EUR 20.7 million) and were mostly driven by engineering services associated with the development of the Airbus A350 and A320, Embraer Legacy and Embraer E-Jet 190.

ASSETS SITUATION

At the end of the period under review, intangible assets amounted to EUR 163.5 million (28 February 2015: EUR 151.7 million). The change is mainly due to additions from development projects in connection with A350 and A320, Embraer Legacy and Embraer E-Jet 190.

Inventories amounted to EUR 122.2 million at the end of the period under review (28 February 2015: EUR 98.9 million). The change is mainly due to the increase in product revenues.

Receivables from construction contracts amounted to EUR 38.3 million as of the interim reporting date (28 February 2015: EUR 28.9 million). Compared to 28 February 2015, the amount recognised for construction contracts as of 30 November 2015 was higher by EUR 9,379k. The change mainly results from development contracts (based on milestone contracts) in connection with Airbus A350 and Comac C 919.

Receivables from affiliated companies declined by EUR 8.9 million from EUR 35.3 million as of 28 February 2015 to EUR 26.5 million as of the interim reporting date. Basically, incoming payments in connection with the Comac C919 and ARJ 21 development projects were booked.

The promissory note loan in the amount of EUR 45.0 million as of 28 February 2015 was classified as current, as the financial covenant agreed upon was slightly undershot. An agreement had already been reached with the principal creditors of the promissory note loan not to call in the promissory note loan in the reporting period covering the first quarter. Consequently, EUR 42.0 million is reported under non-current promissory note loans on the interim reporting date. EUR 3.0 million was repaid in July 2015 in accordance with the repayment date rule.

Trade payables in the amount of EUR 77.7 million (28 February 2015: EUR 72.1 million) developed in line with the business performance. The increase is the result of seasonality effects that lead to higher business volumes in the second half of a financial year.

Current other financial liabilities amounted to EUR 52.3 million (28 February 2015: EUR 13.2 million). The change is primarily related to the financing of the change in working capital.

STAFF

Total headcount declined by 148 FTE compared to the same period of the previous year and amounted to 3,032 employees (FTE) as of 30 November 2015. As of 30 November 2014, total headcount amounted to 3,180 employees (FTE).

Outlook

The solid performance of the commercial aerospace market continued to have a positive effect on the development of Group's revenues. On the basis of the orders currently booked for the remaining quarters, the management of FACC AG assumes that this positive operational development will continue over the year. Due to a number of seasonality effects, a increase in sales of around 10% is expected. As a result of the latest event (see also Subsequent events after the interim reporting period) a guidance regarding the consolidated results is at the moment not possible.

FACC AG is profiting across all segments from the ramp up of production volumes for the Airbus A350 XWB project currently underway. Output rates for this aircraft type will grow from currently 5 aircraft sets per month to 7 sets per month in the course of the year. Product revenues from the A350 XWB will gradually increase over the next two years to reach the planned output rate of 14 aircraft sets per month.

Besides, the company continues to press ahead with the implementation of the FACC Operational Excellence Initiatives with a view to considerably reducing direct production costs along with fixed expenses and costs of materials on hand. Measures adopted in previous quarters are now bearing their first fruits. Further potential cost savings as well as projects aimed at increasing the degree of automation of production processes are currently being implemented.

In the period under review, the outsourcing of defined product families to strategic supply chain partners in growth markets was further pursued. These relocations are mainly aimed at reducing manufacturing costs, decreasing USD exposure, releasing FACC production space at the Austrian sites for the manufacturing of complex components as well as reducing FACC AG's overall investment requirements.

Moving forward, the FACC Group will continue to push ahead with its business activities, ranging from development, manufacturing through to global supply chain management, while further expanding its role as a preferred partner of the aviation industry. This will further support the implementation of the "FACC Vision 2020" strategy, especially when it comes to consolidating and expanding the company's standing as a Tier 1 supplier of customers such as Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Embraer and all renowned engine manufacturers.

Selected Comments on the Quarterly Financial Report as of 30 November 2015

GENERAL

The FACC Group, headquartered in Ried, is a group incorporated in Austria for the development, production and servicing of aircraft components. The company was founded in 1989. The principal activities of the FACC Group are the manufacture of structural components, such as parts of engine cowlings, wing claddings or control surfaces, as well as interiors for modern commercial aircraft. The components are mainly manufactured from composites. Within the components made of such composites, the Group also integrates metallic components of titanium, high-alloy steel and other metals, and supplies these components to the aircraft final assembly lines ready for fitting.

There have been no changes to the scope of consolidation of FACC AG as of 30 November, 2015 compared to the scope of consolidation of the consolidated financial statements as of 28 February, 2015 with the exception of the deconsolidation of the previously fully-consolidated subsidiary ITS GmbH. Insolvency proceedings concerning the assets of ITS GmbH were opened in the second quarter of 2015, which led to the loss of control and to deconsolidation on 31 August 2015. ITS GmbH was an engineering office headquartered in Steinebach/Germany most recently employing 19 staff. Deconsolidation of ITS GmbH has had no material impact on the Group's assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss.

ACCOUNTING AND VALUATION METHODS

These interim financial statements as of 30 November 2015 have been prepared in accordance with the International Accounting Standard 34 (IAS 34). The accounting and valuation methods applied to the consolidated financial statements as of 28 February 2015 have been consistently applied to these interim financial statements. There are no new or amended standards and interpretations effective for these interim financial statements 2015/16 that are expected to have a material impact on the Group. For further information on the accounting and valuation methods, reference is made to the consolidated financial statements as of 28 February 2015, which form the basis of these interim financial statements. The information disclosed herein is limited to selected material comments. For further details reference is made to the consolidated financial statements as of 28 February 2015, which form the basis of these interim financial statements.

The preparation of the interim financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting and valuation methods requires the use of assumptions and estimates, which have an effect on the amount and the presentation of the reported assets and liabilities, as well as on the disclosed contingent assets and liabilities as of the end of the interim reporting period, and have an effect on the reported income and expenses during the reporting period. Although these assumptions are made to the best of our knowledge based on current transactions, the actual values may in the end deviate from these assumptions. The interim financial statements have been prepared in euro thousand (EURk); the information disclosed therein is also presented in euro thousand. Where rounded amounts and percentages are aggregated, rounding differences may occur due to the use of automated calculation aids.

SEASONALITY

Our operating results are subject to fluctuations as revenues vary from quarter to quarter.

The allocation of total revenues for a given financial year to a particular financial quarter is largely correlated to production operations of aviation industry customers. For this reason, the quarters, during which customers normally conduct plant holidays, are lower in revenues than quarters without such effects. Moreover, revenues for a certain quarter may be affected by invoicing for larger tooling and development projects, which is generally the case during the fourth quarter. In addition, our customers typically place their orders, to a large extent, in December, which results in increased revenues recorded in January, i.e., in our fourth quarter. Further, the seasonality effect is also influenced by airlines, as the quantity of their purchase orders for new aircraft depends on seasonal passenger volumes. In the past, our results have varied from quarter to quarter, which had an impact on our working capital and financial results. It is anticipated that these effects will continue to take place moving forward.

SEGMENT REPORTING

Segment reporting is consistent with the internal management and reporting of FACC. Due to the products' different applications, three operating segments were created.

The "FACC Aerostructures" segment covers development, manufacture and sales of structural components, the "FACC Interiors" segment handles the development, manufacture and sales of interiors, and the " FACC Engines & Nacelles" segment is responsible for the manufacture and sales of engine components. All operating segments are led by Vice Presidents. After the conclusion of customer agreements and order processing, the individual orders are manufactured in the four plants. Apart from these three operating segments, the company includes the central services of finances and controlling, personnel, quality management, strategic purchasing and IT (including engineering services). In the form of a matrix organisation, these central services support the operating segments in the completion of their tasks.

SHARE CAPITAL

The share capital of the company amounts to EUR 45,790k and is fully paid in. It is divided into 45,790,000 non-par value shares with a value of EUR 1.00 per share.
