Goodrich Provides 2006 Financial Outlook
    Sales for 2006 expected to be in the $5.6 — $5.7 billion range
 
    2006 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations expected to be in the $2.20 — $2.40 range, representing an increase of between 10 and 25 percent, compared to 2005 expectations for diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $1.89 — $1.99
 
    Cash flow from operations, minus capital expenditures, expected to be in the range of 50 — 75 percent of net income in 2006, reflecting significant investments in new products for recently awarded programs such as the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the Airbus A350
CHARLOTTE, NC, Dec. 12, 2005 — Goodrich Corporation announced today its sales, earnings and cash flow outlook for the full year 2006. The company expects that full year 2006 sales will be in the range of $5.6 -$5.7 billion, which represents an increase of 6 — 7 percent from expected 2005 levels. The company expects its 2006 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations and net income per diluted share to be in the range of $2.20 — $2.40, reflecting margin expansion associated with the sales growth and improved operating efficiencies, partially offset by increased expenses for pension, foreign exchange and stock-based compensation of approximately $0.28 per diluted share. The 2006 outlook represents an increase of between 10 and 25 percent, compared to 2005 expectations for diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $1.89 — $1.99. Goodrich continues to expect full year 2005 reported net income per diluted share to be in the range of $2.00 — $2.10, which includes $0.11 per diluted share from the sale of its JcAIR Test Systems business earlier in 2005.
Goodrich expects cash flow from operations, minus capital expenditures, to be in the range of 50 — 75 percent of net income in 2005, reflecting increased cash expenditures for investments in recently awarded programs such as the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the Airbus A350, capital expenditures to support higher OE deliveries at Boeing and productivity initiatives that are expected to enhance margins over the long term. The company expects capital expenditures in 2006 to be in the range of $240 — $260 million.
