Update: A bumpy H1 as deferrals hit MRO, FY guidance and our estimates

MTU’s H1 results were marked by diverging lines of guidance: FY14 revenues cut by 3%, EBIT
guidance unchanged, and net income guidance increased by 4%. The key drivers of these changes are the weakening dollar/euro rate, and some contract deferrals in the engine maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) division. However, EBIT and net income benefit from a faster than expected fall in R&D (as work on the P&W Geared Turbo Fan (GTF) moves into production), and a lower tax rate (reflecting the greater amount of work being done in Poland and China). Overall, we modestly raise our 2014e earnings forecasts,but cut them by up to 6% for 2015e and 2016e.
