The “EBIT pre-goodwill impairment and exceptionals” includes on HQ/Conso. level the elimination of an addition to the provision for loss making contracts (352 M €) recognised in the Airbus division in order to account for the positive margin of the A 400M contract on EADS group level. Due to the cost increase of the contract, a negative catch-up in the amount of (66) M € had to be recognised on group level to adjust previously accounted for EBIT for the years 2003 to 2006.

As a rule, inter-segment transfers are carried out on an arm´s length basis. Inter-segment sales predominantly take place between Eurocopter, Defence & Security and Airbus; as the Eurocopter and Defence & Security divisions act as suppliers for Airbus aircraft. Moreover, Airbus acts as a main supplier for the A400M program which is led by the Military Transport Aircraft division.

Capital expenditures represent the additions to property, plant and equipment and to intangible assets (excluding additions to goodwill of 64 M € in 2006 and 168 M € in 2005; for further details see Note 5e) “Capital expenditures”).

c) EBIT pre-goodwill impairment and exceptionals

EADS uses EBIT pre-goodwill impairment and exceptionals as a key indicator of its economic performance. The term “exceptionals” refers to such items as depreciation expenses of fair value adjustments relating to the EADS merger, the Airbus Combination and the formation of MBDA, as well as impairment charges thereon. EBIT pre-goodwill impairment and exceptionals is treated by management as a key indicator to measure the segments’ economic performances.
