FINANCIAL RESULTS: SECOND QUARTER For the three months ended June 30, 2003, B/E reported a net loss of $14.1 million, or $0.39 per share, compared to a net loss of $3.2 million, or $0.09 per share, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2002. The company recorded $7.0 million of charges during the quarter, primarily related to provisions for bad debts and inventories and to adjust properties held for sale to reflect fair value less estimated costs to sell. Such charges were offset by cash proceeds of $9.0 million received in the second quarter in connection with the resolution of the final matters associated with the 1999 sale of B/E's In-Flight Entertainment In-flight entertainment (IFE) refers to the entertainment available to aircraft passengers during a flight.

In the commercial aircraft products segment, the lower margins and operating earnings reflect Dafen plant closing and integration costs ($5.2 million), adverse impacts from foreign exchange ($1.5 million), charges for bad debts, inventories and properties held for sale and manufacturing start-up costs in B/E's plastics operations ($3.8 million). In the business jet segment, margins were lower due to a 33 percent decrease in sales of higher-margin executive aircraft seats, partially offset by an increase in lower-margin VIP aircraft project work. The drop in executive seat sales reflects a 43 percent industry-wide reduction in production of new business jets, partially offset by an increase in B/E's executive seating market share. The VIP aircraft projects, including development of super-premium international first class products for airlines, generated minimal profit due to start-up and developmental costs which were included in cost of goods sold. The year-over-year decline in operating earnings, by segment, was:

UPDATE ON CONSOLIDATION PROGRAM "In recent months our airline customers have endured the SARS epidemic epidemic, outbreak of disease that affects a much greater number of people than is usual for the locality or that spreads to regions where it is ordinarily not present. , a war in Iraq Iraq or Irak (both: ēräk`, ĭrăk`), officially Republic of Iraq, republic (2005 est. pop. 26,075,000), 167,924 sq mi (434,924 sq km), SW Asia. and continued weakness in the economy," Mr. Khoury stated. "These adverse events came in the midst Adv. 1. in the midst - the middle or central part or point; "in the midst of the forest"; "could he walk out in the midst of his piece?" midmost of an airline industry downturn which is now in its third year." The world's airlines lost $25 billion in 2001 and 2002. Steep losses continue this year. Seventeen airlines worldwide have sought bankruptcy bankruptcy, in law, settlement of the liabilities of a person or organization wholly or partially unable to meet financial obligations. The purposes are to distribute, through a court-appointed receiver, the bankrupt's assets equitably among creditors and, in most protection or ceased operations in the past two years. In response, airlines have severely cut spending and idled about 2,220 aircraft. As a result, B/E has experienced significantly reduced demand for its commercial aircraft cabin An aircraft cabin is the section of an aircraft in which passengers travel, often just called the cabin. At cruising altitudes, the surrounding atmosphere is too thin to breathe without an oxygen mask, so cabin pressurization adapts the cabin to atmospheric pressures. interior products. "B/E is also experiencing soft demand in the business jet segment," Mr. Khoury stated. "For the first half of 2003, deliveries of new business jets were down 43 percent compared to a year ago." To re-position B/E for profitability at the lower demand levels, management launched a cost reduction program soon after the 2001 terrorist attacks. This consolidation effort, now largely complete, involved closing five factories and eliminating over 1,400 positions. Consolidation costs already incurred since inception of the program total about $160 million, including approximately ap·prox·i·mate adj. 1. Almost exact or correct: the approximate time of the accident. 2. $70 million of cash costs. Management expects consolidation costs for the remainder of this year to total $1 - $2 million, which will be recorded in the third quarter. BACKLOG INCREASED SEQUENTIALLY Despite a tumultuous quarter for the airlines, B/E's backlog increased 15 percent sequentially to approximately $500 million as of June 30, 2003, compared to $435 million at the end of March 2003. The significant growth in backlog was driven primarily by increases in the commercial aircraft and fastener distribution segments. RECENT TRENDS "Our commercial aircraft products segment experienced weak order activity during most of the second quarter," Mr. Khoury said. "However, over the past six weeks we have seen a significant increase in both actual order placement and new business opportunities." The increased opportunities are primarily related to Asian, European European emanating from or pertaining to Europe. European bat lyssavirus see lyssavirus. European beech tree fagussylvaticus. European blastomycosis see cryptococcosis. and Middle Eastern airlines' orders for new wide-body aircraft, including the A330, A340-500/600 and the A380, and their desire to retrofit ret·ro·fit v. ret·ro·fit·ted or ret·ro·fit, ret·ro·fit·ting, ret·ro·fits v.tr. 1.

The possession, along with another or others, of a certain attribute or set of attributes: a political movement's commonality of purpose. . "Time will tell whether this trend will be sustained, and whether this new activity will produce significant orders for B/E," Mr. Khoury said. "However, based on the number of requests we have received, it appears that our new business opportunities are increasing significantly." LIQUIDITY REMAINS ADEQUATE B/E's cash and available bank credit was about $120 million as of June 30, 2003, a decrease of approximately $6 million compared to March 31, 2003 balances. Cash interest paid during the quarter totaled $21.6 million. "Cash and available bank credit of about $120 million should be adequate to meet operating needs and service our debt obligations," Mr. Khoury stated. "Our cash position at December December: see month. 2002 was unusually high, enabling us to reduce bank borrowings by $50 million in the first quarter of 2003. The voluntary payment reduced interest expense and will assist in returning B/E to profitability." Cash and available bank credit has decreased by about $37 million since December 31, 2002, reflecting a $15.0 million reduction in the size of the bank credit facility, the cash component of the year-to-date Year-to-date (YTD) The period beginning at the start of the calendar year up to the current date. net loss, capital expenditures and normal working capital fluctuations. Net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) was $717.5 million, as compared to $712.1 million at March 31, 2003 and $696.0 million at December 31, 2002. EBITDA was $11.6 million for the twelve months ended June 2003, including consolidation costs, the charges reported today and items related to the In-Flight Entertainment sale. Adjusted EBITDA was $95.8 million for the twelve-month period. Net cash flows used in operations were $8.2 million for the same period. OUTLOOK "With such volatile industry conditions, forecasting is difficult for our customers and for B/E as well," Mr. Khoury stated. "Therefore, for the time being we have elected not to give quantitative guidance on sales and earnings." Financial guidance for calendar 2003 is as follows: -- For the third quarter and beyond, B/E expects substantial improvements in margins and bottom-line bot·tom-line adj. 1. Concerned exclusively with costs and profits: bottom-line issues. 2. Ruthlessly realistic; pragmatic: a bottom-line political strategy. results, and expects to achieve profitable operations on a quarterly basis by the end of this calendar year. -- Backlog, which increased sequentially by $65 million or 15 percent during the second quarter, should remain flat or increase slightly over the next six months, driven primarily by opportunities in B/E's commercial aircraft products and fastener distribution segments. Activity in the business jet market remains very soft. "Looking ahead, we expect substantial financial improvement in the third and fourth quarters of this year and for all of next year," Mr. Khoury said. "B/E Aerospace has a number of attributes that should enable us to maintain adequate liquidity during this industry downturn. Our debt structure is well-suited to these volatile industry conditions. Our bank credit facility is adequately supported by current assets Current Assets Appearing on a company's balance sheet, it represents cash, accounts receivable, inventory, marketable securities, prepaid expenses, and other assets that can be converted to cash within one year. and matures in August 2006.

Leading indicators are used to predict changes in the economy, but are not always accurate. of the industry recovery," he said. "The airlines will begin to spend on their existing fleets long before they can afford to purchase new aircraft because refurbishing existing aircraft is much less expensive. Accordingly, aftermarket demand should lead the aerospace industry recovery. "When demand improves, the cost reductions we have achieved should give us substantial operating leverage Operating Leverage A measurement of the degree to which a firm or project relies on fixed rather than variable costs.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This news release includes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP financial measures as defined in the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation G. We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as additional measures of our operating performance and our ability to service our debt. We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, among other things, to evaluate our operating performance, to value prospective acquisitions and as one of several components of incentive compensation targets for certain management personnel. These measures are among the primary indicators used by management as a basis of its planning and forecasting of future periods. We believe these measures are important indicators of our operational strength and the performance of our business because they provide a link between profitability and operating cash flow Operating cash flow Earnings before depreciation minus taxes. Measures the cash generated from operations, not counting capital spending or working capital requirements. . We believe the presentation of these measures is relevant and useful for investors because it allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to the method used by our management, helps improve their ability to understand our operating performance and makes it easier to compare our results with other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates. In addition, we believe these measures are among the primary measures used externally by our investors, analysts and peers in our industry for purposes of valuation and comparing the operating performance of our company to other companies in our industry. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be viewed as substitutes for or superior to net income, cash flow from operations or other data prepared in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our profitability or liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not determined using GAAP. Therefore, they are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures provided by other companies. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, we provide the following table which reconciles EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as presented in this release to cash flows used in operations, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
