returned to positive organic sales growth with sequential improvement across businesses and

abb (Switzerland): Q3 2020 results
• Orders $6.1 billion, -9%; comparable -8%1
• Revenues $6.6 billion, -4%; comparable -4%
• Income from operations $71 million; margin 1.1%
• Power Grids gain of $5.3 billion, pre-tax, recorded in discontinued operations
• Operational EBITA1 $787 million; margin1 12.0%
• Net income $4.5 billion, +780%, including Power Grids gain
• Basic EPS $2.14, +785%2; operational EPS1 $0.21, -36%
• Cash flow from operating activities $408 million, after $273 million negative impact
from pensions; resilient cash delivery expected for the full year
• Cash flow from operating activities
• Cash flow from operating activities was $408 million including a $273 million
negative impact from a cash outflow to facilitate the transfer of certain pension schemes,
compared to $670 million in the third quarter of 2019. Cash flow benefited from
favorable timing of tax payments and net working capital movements, which offset the
effects of a reduction in business activities. As a percent of revenues, net working capital
was 12.5 percent at quarter end.
“Third quarter revenues in all business areas were still dampened due to the impact
of COVID-19, although a strong recovery in China and ongoing cost mitigation
efforts supported a strong underlying performance. On the upside, the integration of
GEIS and turnaround of Installation Products in Electrification is starting to bear
fruit and Motion is performing robustly. Robotics and Industrial Automation, on the
other hand, are taking more time to recover,” said CEO of ABB. “We are pushing
ahead with the decentralization of the group and the ongoing review of our portfolio,
while carrying out our share buyback program as planned. We look forward to
presenting further details on our strategic progress at our Capital Markets Day on
November 19.”

challenging COVID-19 environment, the Air Products team around the world demonstrated its commitment by
keeping our plants running, supplying customers with essential products, and improving our profitability.
Meanwhile, our existing on-site business—which represents more than half of our sales—continued to deliver
stable cash flow. I would like to thank all of our more than 19,000 employees for their unwavering commitment to
keep Air Products operating successfully during these difficult times, which we expect to continue during 2021.

Airbus (Netherlands) reports Nine-Month (9m) 2020 results
• Net commercial aircraft orders totalled 300 (9m 2019: 127 aircraft) with the order backlog comprising 7,441 commercial aircraft as of 30
September 2020. Airbus Helicopters booked 143 net orders (9m 2019: 173 units), including 8 H160s and 1 H215 during the third quarter. Airbus
Defence and Space’s order intake increased to € 8.2 billion, with the third quarter including an additional A330 MRTT as well as contract wins
in telecommunications satellites.
• Consolidated revenues decreased to € 30.2 billion (9m 2019: € 46.2 billion), driven by the difficult market environment impacting the
commercial aircraft business with around 40% fewer deliveries year-on-year. A total of 341 commercial aircraft were delivered (9m 2019: 571
aircraft), comprising 18 A220s, 282 A320 Family, 9 A330s and 32 A350s. During the third quarter of 2020, a total of 145 commercial aircraft
were delivered including 57 deliveries in September. Airbus Helicopters reported broadly stable revenues, reflecting lower deliveries of 169 units
(9m 2019: 209 units) partially compensated by higher services. Revenues at Airbus Defence and Space mainly reflected lower volumes in Space
Systems and for the A400M as well as the impact of COVID-19 on business phasing. A total of 5 A400M military airlifters were delivered over
the nine month period with Luxembourg becoming a new operator.
• Consolidated EBIT Adjusted – an alternative performance measure and key indicator capturing the underlying business margin by
excluding material charges or profits caused by movements in provisions related to programmes, restructuring or foreign exchange impacts as
well as capital gains/losses from the disposal and acquisition of businesses – totalled € -125 million (9m 2019: € 4,133 million).
• Airbus’ EBIT Adjusted of € -641 million (9m 2019: € 3,593 million(1)) mainly reflected the reduced commercial aircraft deliveries and
lower cost efficiency. It also included € -1.0 billion of COVID-19 related charges. The necessary steps have been taken to adapt the cost structure
to the new levels of production and the benefits are materialising as the plan is executed. At the end of September, the number of commercial
aircraft that could not be delivered due to COVID-19 had reduced to around 135.
• Airbus Helicopters’ EBIT Adjusted increased to € 238 million (9m 2019: € 205 million), reflecting a favourable mix, higher services, a
positive contribution from programme execution as well as lower Research & Development (R&D) expenses. During Q3, the first five-bladed
H145 helicopter was delivered following certification by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency in Q2.
• EBIT Adjusted at Airbus Defence and Space decreased to € 266 million (9m 2019: € 355 million), mainly reflecting the lower volume in
Space Systems, especially in the launcher business due to the impact of COVID-19, partly offset by cost reduction measures. The Division’s
restructuring plan updated in H1 2020 is underway and negotiations with the social partners are progressing. The related provision has been
recorded in Q3 as part of the EBIT Adjustments.
• Consolidated self-financed R&D expenses totalled € 2,032 million (9m 2019: € 2,150 million).
“After nine months of 2020 we now see the progress made on adapting our business to the new COVID-19 market environment. Despite
the slower air travel recovery than anticipated, we converged commercial aircraft production and deliveries in the third quarter and we
stopped cash consumption in line with our ambition,” said Airbus Chief Executive Officer. “Furthermore, the restructuring provision
booked shows our discussions with social partners and stakeholders have advanced well. Our ability to stabilise the cash flow in the quarter
gives us confidence to issue a free cash flow guidance for the fourth quarter.”

Alstom (France) first half 2020/21 results
• During the first half of fiscal year 2020/21 (between 1 April 2020 and 30 September 2020), Alstom
booked €2.7 billion of orders and sales reached €3.5 billion. Book-to-bill ratio stood at 0.8. Adjusted EBIT
reached €263 million leading to an adjusted EBIT margin of 7.5%. Net income (from continued operations,
group share) amounted to €161 million. Free Cash Flow amounted to €(253) million.
• The Group booked €2,652 million in orders in the first half of fiscal year 2020/21. This compares to
€4,618 million in orders over the same period last year. This decrease was expected, as a consequence of
the shift in tendering activity from the first half towards the second half in the Covid-19 context.
• The backlog amounted to €40 billion on 30 September 2020, providing strong visibility on future
sales. The book-to-bill ratio stood at 0.8, reflecting the impact of the Covid-19 crisis.
• In the first half of fiscal year 2020/21, Alstom’s total sales reached €3,518 million, down 13%
organically. This decrease is a consequence of the Covid-19 crisis, in particular during the lockdown period
in Q1 when some of our production units and suppliers had to slow down temporarily operations.
Operations in Q2 were back to a normal level with sales of €2,011 million, up from €1,507 million in Q1.
• In H1 2020/21, rolling stock sales reached €1,713 million (down 8% organic) as sales recognition was
affected during the containment period, particularly in Europe.
• In Q2 2020/21, all product lines experienced positive organic growth compared to Q2 2019/20 except
Systems which is continuing its anticipated ramp down at -35%. Between Q2 2019/20 and Q2 2020/21,
Rolling stock grew at +10% organically with ramp up in large projects, Services at +8% organically and
Signalling at +3% organically.
“During the first semester, the Group’s commercial activity was impacted as anticipated by the shift in
tender activity towards H2 in the context of the sanitary crisis. Yet we managed to secure some large
orders notably in Central and East Asia. We are confident that the various stimulus plans together with
the increasing demand for sustainable mobility solutions will lead to a solid market recovery, which
reflects in our strong tender pipeline for the second semester. Production in the second quarter was
back to a normal level. We were proud to deliver some flagship projects such as metro systems in
Dubaï and Mexico. Finally, we achieved major milestones in the Bombardier Transportation
acquisition process in recent months and we are looking forward to closing the transaction in Q1
2021.” said Alstom Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Avery Dennison (USA) Announces Third Quarter 2020 Results
• Net sales were $1.73 billion, down 1.8%. Sales were down 1.3% ex. currency, and
down 3.6% on an organic basis.
• Reported operating margin increased 100 basis points to 12.3%. Adjusted EBITDA
margin increased 190 basis points to 16.1%, while adjusted operating margin increased
140 basis points to 13.1%.
• Reported net income was $1.79 per share, up 5%, and adjusted net income was $1.91
per share, up 15%, both of which were above the company’s expectations, reflecting a
sales decline below the low end of its outlook range in July.
• The company’s third quarter effective tax rate was 23.4%. Its adjusted tax rate
(non-GAAP) for the quarter was 23.2%, reflecting the company’s expectation for a full
year adjusted tax rate which is currently estimated to be approximately 24%.
• Year-to-date free cash flow was $342 million, up 4.4% compared to the same period
last year.
“Revenue came in significantly better than we anticipated at the start of the quarter,
which, combined with our cost reduction actions, enabled us to deliver strong
earnings growth and free cash flow,” said chairman, president and CEO. “The
extraordinary agility demonstrated by our team this year is driving solid
performance on all fronts, ensuring the health and well-being of our employees,
delivering for our customers, supporting our communities, and minimizing the
impact of the recession for our shareholders. All three of our operating segments
expanded their adjusted operating margins compared to last year, despite lower
sales, as demand improved sequentially. In particular, LGM delivered sequential
improvement in sales across all regions except Europe, with fasterthan-expected
improvement in high value categories, such as graphics. RBIS likewise improved
faster-than-expected, reflecting strong growth in both RFID and external
embellishments, as well as a quicker rebound in the base. Once again, we are
proving our resilience across business cycles. “I want to thank our entire team for
their ongoing efforts to keep one another safe while delivering for our customers
during this challenging period.”

BASF Group (Germany) increases EBIT before special items compared with second
quarter of 2020, mainly driven by good business development in September
• BASF Group sales of €13.8 billion were down slightly by €745 million compared with the third quarter of 2019. This was mainly driven by negative currency effects in all
segments, but especially in the Agricultural Solutions and Surface Technologies segments.
• EBIT before special items declined considerably year on year, by €475 million to €581 million. This was mainly attributable to a considerably lower contribution from the
Chemicals segment. EBIT before special items also declined considerably in the Nutrition & Care segment, Other, and in the Materials and Agricultural Solutions segments. The
Industrial Solutions and Surface Technologies segments posted slight decreases.
• Special items in EBIT amounted to minus €3.2 billion in the third quarter of 2020. These primarily related to impairments totaling €2.8 billion in all segments due to the economic
effects of the coronavirus pandemic and to restructuring measures. In addition, provisions of €313 million were recognized for the realignment of the Global Business Services unit.
EBIT amounted to minus €2.6 billion, considerably below the prior-year quarter (€1.3 billion).
• Compared with the third quarter of 2019, income from operations before depreciation, amortization and special items (EBITDA before special items) decreased by €438 million
to €1.5 billion. EBITDA declined by €1.2 billion to €1 billion.
• Net income decreased to minus €2.1 billion, compared with €911 million in the prior-year quarter. Earnings per share amounted to minus €2.31 in the third quarter of 2020 (Q3
2019: €1.00). Earnings per share adjusted for special items and amortization of intangible assets amounted to €0.60 (Q3 2019: €0.89).
• Cash flows from operating activities amounted to €2.1 billion in the third quarter of 2020, €102 million above the figure for the prior-year quarter despite the €3 billion decline
in net income. The decrease in net income was largely attributable to the non-cash-effective impairments. Free cash flow rose from €1.1 billion in the prior-year quarter to €1.4 billion
as a result of higher cash flows from operating activities in conjunction with lower payments made for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

Bayer (Germany) acquires Asklepios BioPharmaceutical to broaden innovation
base in cell and gene therapy
Bayer AG announced the acquisition of Asklepios BioPharmaceutical, Inc. (AskBio), a
US-headquartered biopharmaceutical company specialized in the research, development and
manufacturing of gene therapies across different therapeutic areas. AskBio’s development
portfolio includes investigational pre-clinical and clinical stage candidates for the treatment
of neuromuscular, central nervous system, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Bayer will
own full rights to AskBio’s gene therapy platform, including a broad intellectual property
portfolio and an established contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO)
laying the foundation for future partnerships in the area of adeno-associated virus (AAV)
therapies. The addition of AskBio to Bayer’s emerging cell and gene therapy (CGT) business
strengthens Bayer’s commitment to the field. It complements the 2019 acquisition of
BlueRock Therapeutics and consolidates Bayer’s ambition to create platforms with the
potential to have an impact in multiple therapeutic areas. Under the terms of the agreement,
Bayer will pay an upfront consideration of USD 2 billion and potential success-based
milestone payments of up to USD 2 billion. Some 75 percent of the potential success-based
milestone payments are expected to be due during the course of the next five years and the
remaining amount late thereafter.
“In line with our purpose ‘science for a better life’, we are committed to bringing
significant improvements for patients through innovation,” said Chairman of the Board
of Management (CEO) of Bayer AG. “With this acquisition, Bayer significantly
advances the establishment of a cell and gene therapy platform that can be at the
forefront of breakthrough science, contributing to preventing or even curing diseases

Metagenomi closes USD 65 million Series A financing led by Leaps by Bayer and
Humboldt Fund
Metagenomi, a next generation gene editing company launched by UC Berkeley scientists in
2018, successfully completed a USD 65 million Series A financing round and emerged from
stealth mode. The Series A round was led by Leaps by Bayer and Humboldt Fund. Other investors
included Sozo Ventures, Agent Capital, InCube Ventures and HOF Capital. CRISPR-based gene
editing is one of the most important discoveries in recent years, and a critical technology for next
generation therapeutic development. With the ability to edit DNA, scientists can address a whole
range of diseases – but there are still hurdles to overcome such as delivery, immunogenicity,
selectivity, and genomic accessibility with current technologies. To enable efficient technological
solutions, Metagenomi is building a proprietary suite of CRISPR-based gene editing systems by
applying computational algorithms to screen thousands of genomes from microorganisms around
the world. The approach leverages big data and the science of metagenomics to quickly identify
novel gene editing systems with properties that leapfrog first generation technologies. These
include the capability to precisely edit genomes via single base changes, knockouts, or
integrations, with lower potential for off-target effects. While in stealth mode, Metagenomi has
developed a vast portfolio of these innovative gene editing systems, and it is Metagenomi’s goal
to improve patient access to gene editing technologies by providing safe, accurate modalities for
use in therapeutic development.
“Gene editing is a paradigm shifting technology which will continue to move the needle from
treatment to cure in many genetically inherited diseases and significantly improve the world
around us for the better,” said Head of Leaps by Bayer. “Leaps by Bayer is committed to
advancing new breakthroughs in gene editing and is thrilled to partner with Metagenomi in
its mission to discover tomorrow’s gene editing technologies.”

Boeing (USA) Reports Third-Quarter Results
• Cash and investments in marketable securities decreased to $27.1 billion, compared
to $32.4 billion at the beginning of the quarter, primarily driven by operating cash
outflows (Table 3). Debt was $61.0 billion, down from $61.4 billion at the beginning of
the quarter due to the repayment of maturing debt.
• Total company backlog at quarter-end was $393 billion.
• Defense, Space & Security third-quarter revenue decreased to $6.8 billion, primarily
due to derivative aircraft award timing, partially offset by higher fighter volume (Table
5). Third-quarter operating margin decreased to 9.2 percent reflecting less favorable
performance, including a $67 million KC-46A Tanker charge.
• Global Services third-quarter revenue decreased to $3.7 billion, driven by lower
commercial services volume due to COVID-19, partially offset by higher government
services volume (Table 6). Third-quarter operating margin decreased to 7.3 percent
primarily due to lower commercial services volume and additional severance costs.
• At quarter-end, Boeing Capital's net portfolio balance was $2.0 billion. The change
in revenue and earnings from other unallocated items and eliminations was primarily
due to the timing of cost allocations.
"The global pandemic continued to add pressure to our business this quarter, and
we're aligning to this new reality by closely managing our liquidity and transforming
our enterprise to be sharper, more resilient and more sustainable for the long term,"
said Boeing President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our diverse portfolio, including
our government services, defense and space programs, continues to provide some
stability for us as we adapt and rebuild for the other side of the pandemic. We remain
focused on the health and safety of our employees and their communities. I'm proud
of the dedication and commitment our teams have demonstrated as they continued to
deliver for our customers in this challenging environment. Despite the near-term
headwinds, we remain confident in our long term future and are focused on
sustaining critical investments in our business and the meaningful actions we are
taking to strengthen our safety culture, improve transparency and rebuild trust."

• Caterpillar Inc. announced third-quarter 2020 sales and revenues of $9.9
billion, a 23% decrease compared with $12.8 billion in the third quarter of

million, or 20%, compared with the third quarter of 2019. Third-quarter 2020 profit was $48
million, an $81 million, or 63%, decrease from the third quarter of 2019.
• The decrease in revenues was primarily due to a $76 million unfavorable impact from lower
average financing rates and a $40 million unfavorable impact from lower average earning assets.
• Third-quarter 2020 profit before income taxes was $96 million, an $88 million, or 48%,
decrease from the third quarter of 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a $50 million increase
in provision for credit losses, a $29 million decrease in net yield on average earning assets and
an $18 million unfavorable impact from lower average earning assets.
• The provision for income taxes reflected an estimated annual tax rate of 33% in the third
quarter of 2020 compared with 28% in the third quarter of 2019. The increase in the estimated
annual tax rate was primarily due to changes in the geographic mix of profits.
• During the third quarter of 2020, retail new business volume was $2.60 billion, a decrease of
$329 million, or 11%, from the third quarter of 2019. The decrease was driven by lower volume
across all segments with the exception of a slight increase in Asia/Pacific.

end of the third quarter of 2019.

CK Hutchison agrees to sell interests in European tower assets and businesses to
Cellnex for €10 billion
CK Hutchison Holdings (“CKHH”) announced an agreement for CK Hutchison Group Telecom
(“CKHGT”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CKHH, to sell CK Hutchison Networks (“CKH
Networks”) indirect interests in tower assets and businesses to Cellnex Telecom (“Cellnex”). Cellnex
is Europe’s leading operator of wireless telecommunications and broadcasting infrastructures. CKH
Networks holds CKHGT’s interests in the European telecom tower assets and businesses in Austria,
Denmark, Ireland, Italy, Sweden and the United Kingdom. The total consideration for the sale is €10
billion, consisting of €1.4 billion in new shares equating to approximately 5%1 stake in Cellnex on an
enlarged share capital basis and the balance in cash. CKHGT’s partner in Denmark and Sweden is
expected to receive 5% of the total consideration as and when it is received by CKHGT. The
transaction unlocks the underlying value of the European telecommunication tower assets and
businesses portfolio for CKHGT and CKHH while accelerating the rollout of 5G across CKHGT’s
networks. This helps partially unlock the value of CKHH’s telecommunications division, which has
not been fully reflected in its share price in recent years, in addition to realising significant capital
gains and net cash proceeds, which will materially reduce CKHH’s net financial indebtedness and
strengthen its financial profile. Adjusted for this transaction, CKHH’s reported net debt to net total
capital ratio2 as of 30 June 2020 would reduce from 25.1% to 14.9%3, further strengthening the
financial capacity of CKHH and CKHGT to support future growth and potential M&A opportunities.
"We are pleased to gain a long-term partner in Cellnex while unlocking value in our telecom
assets for our shareholders,” said CKHH’s Group Co-managing Director. “This will improve our
operational efficiency and accelerate 5G rollout, put us in a very good position if the right
opportunities arise, and provide us an opportunity to enhance our shareholders’ returns."

continued downturn in commercial aviation partially offset by growth in military sales. Organic sales were down 26
percent, partially offset by a 12 percent increase from the acquisition of Souriau-Sunbank and 1 percent from the impact
of positive currency translation. Operating profits were $100 million, down 35 percent from the third quarter of 2019.
Eaton chairman and chief executive officer, said, “Our third quarter was stronger than expected, with organic sales
down 9 percent, 6 percent better than the midpoint of our guidance range and up 16 percent over the second
quarter. We are pleased with our solid results despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Third quarter
segment margins were 17.6 percent, a decremental margin of 25 percent. “Our decremental margin performance
was at the low end of our guidance range. This is a result of strong execution and continued focus on cost controls
to offset pandemic-driven volume declines. Operating cash flow in the third quarter was $921 million, and free
cash flow was $832 million. “Our operating cash flow over the last nine months has totaled $2.0 billion, and free
cash flow has totaled $1.7 billion. We remain on track to achieve the midpoint of our guidance for 2020 full year
free cash flow, which we are narrowing to between $2.4 billion and $2.6 billion.”

chief executive officer. “Project adjustments during the quarter were
primarily related to COVID-19. We continue to have the necessary liquidity
to meet all of our obligations and operate our business.”

Hexagon (Sweden) strengthens its industrial lifecycle management capabilities
with PAS Global acquisition
Hexagon AB, a global leader in sensor, software, and autonomous solutions, announced
the signing of an agreement to acquire PAS Global, LLC (PAS). PAS is a leading
provider of Operational Technology (OT) integrity solutions used to prevent, detect, &
remediate cyber threats, reduce process safety risks and enable trusted data for
decision-making in asset-intensive industries like manufacturing, oil & gas, utilities and
more. OT computing systems are critical to managing the performance of physical
devices, machines and essential processes - from controlling temperatures to triggering
emergency shut-offs. These historically stand-alone, closed systems are becoming
increasingly connected in the face of IoT and digitalisation and therefore, more
vulnerable to cyber manipulation and attacks. Building upon its commitment to helping
industrial organisations improve production safety and reliability since its founding in
1993, PAS has, in recent years, expanded its expertise to helping customers identify and
reduce OT cybersecurity risks, ensuring OT integrity from the sensor to the cloud.
Headquartered in Houston, Texas, USA, PAS will operate as part of Hexagon's PPM
division. Completion of the transaction (closing) is subject to regulatory approvals. 2020
revenues are forecast to be around 34 MEUR.
"Combining PAS' OT expertise with our PPM division's digital twin and data
integrity capabilities creates a powerful combination for industrial lifecycle
management. Our customers can now manage the lifecycle from plant design and
maintenance, to real-time situation awareness in the control room, cybersecurity risk
management, and industrial digital transformation," says Hexagon President and
CEO Ola Rollén. "PAS' highly skilled and experienced staff serve more than 500
customers across more than 1,450 sites and 70 countries, significantly expanding our
owner operator footprint across the oil & gas, chemicals, power generation, mining
and metals, and pulp and paper industries. Their highly complementary solutions
provide expansion opportunities into verticals such as agricultural processing, water
treatment, and renewables, as well as synergies with our Manufacturing Intelligence
and Mining divisions."

Huntington Ingalls Industries (USA) Reports Third Quarter 2020
Results
• Huntington Ingalls Industries reported third quarter 2020 revenues of $2.3 billion, up 4.3%
from the third quarter of 2019. The increase was driven by growth at both HII's Newport News
and Ingalls Shipbuilding divisions.
• Operating income in the quarter was $222 million and operating margin was 9.6%,
compared to $214 million and 9.6%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2019. The increase in
operating income was mainly the result of a higher operating FAS/CAS adjustment, partially
offset by lower segment operating income, compared to the prior year.
• Net earnings in the quarter were $222 million, compared to $154 million in the third quarter
of 2019. The increase in net earnings was the result of lower federal income taxes due to a claim
for higher research and development tax credits for prior years and a favorable change in the
non-operating portion of retirement benefits, as well as higher operating income, partially offset
by higher interest expense. Diluted earnings per share in the quarter was $5.45, compared to
$3.74 in the same period of 2019.
• Third quarter cash from operations was $222 million and free cash flow1 was $160 million,
compared to $363 million and $250 million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2019.
• New contract awards in the quarter were approximately $1.6 billion, bringing total backlog
to approximately $45.3 billion as of Sept. 30, 2020.
“We are very pleased with shipbuilding program execution in the quarter, particularly as we
continue to navigate our way through the challenges posed by COVID-19,” said HII’s
president and CEO. “In addition to achieving a number of key shipbuilding program
milestones during the quarter, we also broke ground on our Unmanned Systems Center of
Excellence, a facility purpose-built for unmanned systems prototyping, production and
testing as we continue to invest in and expand our unmanned capabilities."

L3harris (USA) Reports Strong Third Quarter 2020 Results And Raises
Outlook
• Revenue for the quarter increased 0.7% versus prior-year GAAP as 3.3% growth in core U.S. and international businesses
was offset by the divestiture of the airport security and automation business and COVID-19-related impacts, mainly for
commercial-related sales. Organic revenue increased 4.4% for the quarter as 7.4% growth in core U.S. and international
businesses, excluding commercial aviation and Public Safety, more than offset the anticipated decline from the pandemic.
• GAAP EPS for the quarter increased 4.7% versus prior year driven by operational excellence, integration benefits, a
decrease in integration costs and lower share count, partially offset by impacts from the pandemic, higher investments and
amortization of merger-related intangibles, as well as the absence of a prior-year benefit from the gain on the sale of the Harris
Night Vision business.
• Third quarter revenue increased 6.2% from strong growth in Maritime from a ramp in manned and classified platforms,
and in ISR driven by aircraft missionization demand, partially offset by a moderate decline in Electro Optical due to program
timing. Third quarter operating income increased 21% to $213 million, and operating margin expanded 190 bps to 15.5%
versus prior year, driven by operational excellence and integration benefits, partially offset by higher investments.
• Segment funded book-to-bill was 1.08 for the quarter and 1.22 year-to-date.
• Orders strength in ISR continued with several international awards totaling $123 million, including an award to provide
ISR capabilities on three King Air 350ER aircraft for the Canadian Department of National Defence (DND) and an order to
deliver a missionized Gulfstream G550 aircraft to the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF).
• In Electro Optical, sensor demand remained strong with a $37 million sole-source IDIQ award for thermal sight systems
and equipment in support of the U.S. Marine Corps Assault Amphibious Vehicle. The company also reinforced its international
position with a $54 million order for WESCAM airborne turrets from a European customer.
• In Maritime, the company's investment in unmanned capabilities led to a $35 million award from the U.S. Navy as the
prime system integrator for the Medium Unmanned Surface Vehicle (MUSV) program, which with options could reach $281
million. The company was also awarded a multi-million-dollar contract by Fincantieri Marinette Marine to provide subsystems
and system integration for the U.S. Navy's FFG(X) program, with a total potential that could exceed $300 million.
“The L3Harris team delivered a strong quarter that demonstrated integration progress, portfolio resiliency and the
perseverance of our employees,” said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our on-going execution puts us in a
position to deliver on an improved outlook for the year, which we'll build on over the medium term."

• LG Display registered KRW 6,738 billion in revenues and KRW 164 billion in operating profit in the third quarter of 2020.

mass-production at the company’s OLED panel production plant in Guangzhou, China.
• LG Display returned to the black for the first time in seven quarters, with an operating profit of KRW 164 billion, due to an improved overall performance across its

LyondellBasell (Netherlands) Reports Third Quarter 2020 Earnings
• LyondellBasell Industries announced net income for the third quarter 2020 of $114
million, or $0.33 per share. The company recognized a $582 million non-cash impairment
charge during the quarter to reflect reduced expectations for profitability from the Houston
refinery. Third quarter results include a $160 million non-cash, lower of cost or market
(LCM) inventory valuation benefit. The combination of the impairment and inventory
valuation benefit reduced net income by $313 million or $0.94 per share.
• Third quarter 2020 EBITDA was $466 million, or $888 million excluding LCM and
impairment. The third quarter 2020 also included $9 million of integration and restructuring
costs, net of tax, that impacted earnings by $0.02 per share and EBITDA by $15 million.
• EBITDA increased $194 million versus the second quarter 2020, excluding a favorable
variance of $32 million due to LCM inventory benefits. Third quarter 2020 results were
negatively impacted by last-in, first out (LIFO) inventory charges of approximately $60
million.
• EBITDA decreased $249 million versus the third quarter 2019, excluding a favorable
variance of $70 million due to a third quarter 2020 LCM inventory benefit. Third quarter
2020 results were negatively impacted by LIFO inventory charges of approximately $60
million.
"In the third quarter, demand for LyondellBasell products improved with increasing
global economic activity. Our year over year results reflect strong global volumes while
margins are still recovering. Sequentially, third quarter volumes and margins rebounded
for most of our businesses. Strong demand for polyethylene in North America and Asia
and hurricane-related production constraints on the U.S. Gulf Coast led to tight markets
that drove $420 per ton of North American polyethylene contract pricing improvement
since June. Volumes improved in our Propylene Oxide & Derivatives business and our
Advanced Polymer Solutions segment as demand increased for polymers utilized in
automotive manufacturing and other durable goods markets. As expected, reduced
demand for transportation fuels continued to pressure our Refining and Oxyfuels &
Related Products businesses during the quarter," said LyondellBasell CEO.

continued pandemic conditions, people all over the world are spending more time in

home remodeling as well as driving new home purchases. All of our businesses and
geographies were stronger due to higher demand and customers increasing inventory in
our distribution channels. Flooring Rest of the World delivered the strongest results in
the quarter as our northern European, Russian and Australian businesses were less

categories, and our new plants improved their output and efficiencies. Fluctuations in
worldwide exchange rates negatively impacted our EBIT by about $7 million, with
declines in most currencies offsetting the strengthening Euro.”
