*Where revenues are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Group, these exclude the release of the foreign exchange transition hedging reserve and reflect the achieved exchange rates arising on settled derivative contracts.

Rolls-Royce: "Air travel and airfreight remain at subdued levels. Although there are some signs of improvement in traffic, the sustainability of these trends is uncertain. In 2010, further detrimental mix changes in [Civil aerospace] revenues are expected as new programmes commence delivery with the consequent impact of launch costs. Services revenues are expected to increase by around 10% in 2010, partly benefiting from improved foreign exchange achieved rates. Increased charges from R&D are expected because of the higher activity levels associated with these early phase programmes," Company statement. Source: Rolls-Royce, 11-Feb-2010.
