Section 7 — Regulation FD

 

Item 7.01   Regulation FD Disclosure

 

On Wednesday September 28, 2011, Deutsche Bank hosted an investor meeting with Hexcel’s Chairman David Berges.  During the course of the meeting, Mr. Berges indicated that the increased material content on the new re-engined narrowbodies (i.e., the A320neo and the B737MAX) could result in up to 50% higher revenues per aircraft than our current values on the A320 and B737 depending upon the plane and the engine/nacelle combination used.   While we expect some combination of planes and engines/nacelles to be up to 50% higher, it is too early to estimate the average Hexcel content for the A320neo and B737MAX or the possible total impact on Hexcel revenues once these new programs are at their full run rate.
