Item 8.01   Other Events

 

On the morning of January 22, 2009, Hexcel hosted a conference call to discuss fourth quarter results.  In responding to a question from an analyst, Mr. David E. Berges, our Chief Executive Officer, made a statement to the effect that the “shipset value” — meaning Hexcel’s revenue per aircraft — was in the neighborhood of $1 million per program for a series of six military programs.  The six programs referred to were the F-35 (Joint Strike Fighter), C17, F-22, F18, A400M and V22.

 

We are filing this Form 8-K in order to clarify Mr. Berges’ statement.  Revenues per aircraft are not $1 million for each of these six programs.  However, our average revenues per aircraft for these six military programs currently is approximately $1 million.
