Bonjour !
D'aprés UBMA, l'opération Dreamliner n'a pas été rien qu'un rêve chez Spirit !
On s'en doutait un peu ! Chers "Risk Partners"!
Heureusement, Spirit ne manque pas de cash !
590 millions de pertes provisionnées, et à ce prix on ne sait pas si le B789 est inclus, et le B787-10, lui n'est pas commencé !
Curieusement, aucune mention concernant le A350 ??
Ce serait pour plus tard ??

Dreamliner turned nightmare haunts Spirit
Friday 26 October 2012
Boeing’s 787 may be branded as a ‘Dreamliner’ – but for some suppliers the programme has caused nightmares as a result of the lengthy delay in getting the aircraft in service. When Spirit AeroSystems announced yesterday (25 October) that it is taking a charge of $184m in the third quarter for cost overruns on the 787 programme – and $590m in total charges – its shares dropped a dizzying and dramatic 30.3 per cent, closing at $15.10, down $6.56 for the day, and wiping nearly $1bn in market value.
“I'm extremely disappointed,” was the response of deflated Spirit CEO Jeff Turner. “As we have consistently described, the biggest risk for Spirit has been, and continues to be, the 787.”
Spirit will also record charges of $163m on the Gulfstream G650 wing programme, $151m on the engine nacelle package for the G650, $88m on the Gulfstream G280 wing programme, and $4m on other combined programmes.
In an attempt to explain the problem, Turner noted that the execution of the company’s diversification and growth strategy had proven “very complex” as Spirit had “rapidly expanded” its “customer-base, manufacturing sites, and product design capabilities, while managing multiple development programmes with significant design changes and schedule delays”. In a possible understatement, he said: “It is unfortunate that we have struggled on these development efforts.”
Meanwhile, Boeing this week reported 3Q earnings of $1.03bn. In news that may not lift Spirit’s spirits, Boeing CEO Jim McNerney said his company was “reaching out” to suppliers to “work on costs”, but that it was “not a matter of stealing margin from our partners”.
However, all is not lost for Spirit. The company said it had obtained lender consent to adjust certain loan and credit facilities to accommodate the charges, and reiterated that it had not defaulted. Indeed, Spirit said its cash position had “improved substantially” in 2012.
