Our measure of absolute business conditions increased 12% to 4.5, as high as it has been since 2008. • Customer interest & 12 mo outlook lead survey: All five component scores moved higher with large increases in our customer interest, pricing and 12-month outlook scores driving the overall increase in our index. Our customer interest and 12-month outlook scores are both now well above 50, indicating incremental improvement, although still high inventory levels remain a drag on our index. • North America customer interest strongest: Our overall customer interest score increased 27% led by strength in North America (73), Latin America (68) and Asia (66), partially offset by relative weakness in Middle East (53) and Europe (40). • See positive risk-rewards for stocks: We believe North America bizjet is improving driven by replacement demand postponed during the downturn. While the bizjet stocks have moved higher, we still see positive risk-rewards as we don't think stocks incorporate much for bizjets at current levels including Buy rated TXT/COL/GD. 100 so - 0 1111111111111111 tmpkatmpktetpktetsR8t sR8e atmg8gatm$.86Osa-zs8 li m-mm- m-mm- Best regards, regards, Sean J.
