COVID has changed the revenue profile and production rate in Aerostructures

Our path towards breakeven: key assumptions The recovery path has already started and is based on the following

ATR Production rate expected to increase starting from 2022, with material
ramp up from 2023, expanding product family (Cargo and 42 STOL)
AIRBUS A220 and A321 production rates already increasing
above pre-Covid
levels starting from next year.
A220 profitable from 2H2023
MILITARY Robust military contribution
OTHER
PROGRAMMES
New programmes
(i.e
EuroMale) and
additional work packages both in civil and military
B787 B787 breakeven from fuselage delivery no. "1,406"
thanks to expected rate profile and pricing per contract
ACTION
PLAN
Improving industrial efficiency and flexibility,
while creating diversification

Summary

  • We have taken actions to address challenges: clear action plan in place with results already visible in 2021
  • The outlook is improving in ATR, Airbus and military activities
    • ATR: leading platform in its segment, expanding product family to capture new markets (e.g. cargo, 42 STOL), recognised as a green platform (-40% fuel consumption vs peers)
    • Airbus: significant ramp up in production (smart factories) with efficient cost per unit, relying on higher production rates
    • Military activities: addressing opportunities and relying on strong engineering skills and innovation Labs across the entire Group
  • We also expect B787 production to improve, although at a slow rate in the short-term, representing a significant long term opportunity once recovery gains speed, as a key platform in long-haul market, with low operating costs
  • Our recovery path has started and we now see the worst behind us
