Market Forecast And Industry

OverviewFrom Record Growth To Uncharted Territory

To The Canadian Business Aviation Association48th Annual ConventionBy Richard AboulafiaVice President, AnalysisTeal Group Corporationwww.tealgroup.comMay 2009

Last Year Teal Said:• 18,401 business aircraft

worth $270.6 billion (‘08$) ‘08-’17.

• Long term growth looks great. This REALLY is a transformed industry.

• Mild dip ahead (after ‘10).

• Big Five. Plus +1+0.5. Maybe + another 0.5.

• We’re air taxi atheists. Nihilists, actually.

This Year Teal Says:• 12,768 business

aircraft worth $195.7 billion (‘09$) ‘09-’18.

• This is a transformed industry. But after a serious shock we’re headed into a very difficult bust cycle. This will take about three years.

• Big Five. Plus +1+0.5. That’s it.

• Not an issue.

We’re Down For The First Time In Over A Decade

• Black Swan: an unanticipated event (like the appearance of a scientifically “impossible” bird) whose arrival has profound consequences for the future.

• Its very appearance changes perceptions and outlooks.

• It means the future might not just consist of a mixed-up bits of the past that can be used to extrapolate outward.

– The future might feature radical shifts that alter the direction or composition of a market.

• Black Swans don’t do great things for the forecasting biz.

Two Big Possible Black Swans

• World economic growth and trade.

• Relationship between global economic growth and business aircraft demand.

• But there are many “it’s different this time” little black swans….

Cultural Attitudes Are Cyclical, Too• Wall Street (Oliver Stone,1987). Gordon Gekko "Rich

enough to have your own jet" gives greed a bad name; really teaches Wall Street bankers a lesson.

• The Bonfire of the Vanities, (Tom Wolfe, 1987). Discredits “masters of the universe.”

• “Yuppies’ Last Rites Readied” (New York Times headline, Oct. 21, 1987)

• “I’m done with the material stuff.” (James Cramer, October 2000)

• “Sales of business jets, once the ultimate status symbols, have cooled with the US economy…The sleek stratospheric board rooms have come to represent corporate greed for some, and for others are simply no longer affordable.” USAToday, Feb. 11, 2003.

Page 16: Richard Aboulafia

Cultural Attitudes Are Cyclical (2)• “The business jet, a pricey perk that became a flying

symbol of corporate excess, is making a comeback.”

(Chicago Sun-Times, Nov. 14, 2004)

• 2008: Obama and McCain campaign on private jets.

McCain applauds Sarah Palin for putting the state jet

on e-bay. President Obama criticizes bankers who

“disappear on private jets.” Obama inauguration sets

record for private jet arrivals.

Four Expensive Words: It’s Different This Time

• No safe havens.• Very high volatility in ALL markets (equities,

capital, oil, etc.).• Exogenous yet non-violent shock.• More than one popped bubble.• Many “too big to fail” players.• Clogged credit market—credit cheap, supply

broken.• De-coupling didn’t happen; coupling is worse.• Feedback loop between Main St. and Wall St.• Impossibly low global growth numbers.• Popular threat to globalization, market economy.

Page 18: Richard Aboulafia

It’s Different For Us, Too• Populism/Government interference with

“nationalized” companies.–Bizjets worth ~30% of the jetliner business by

value, yet transport ~0.1% of the traffic.• Finance/OEM feedback.• Tax incentives won’t work this time (the last

time might have made things worse).• New products and heavy spending.• Utilization dropped much faster than any

economic indicator.• Record available aircraft numbers.• Protectionism/anti-trade sentiment.• New market entrants.

Looking Ahead

Page 21: Richard Aboulafia

Three Scenarios: Baseline + Two Departures

1. This too shall pass:– Worst popped bubble(s) yet.

– The credit crisis just start of a serious downturn.

– But, nothing fundamental has changed; deliveries

growth resumes in 2012 after a prolonged and

severe recession (three years rather than two).

– Think: hockey stick.

[THIS IS PROBABLY WHERE WE ARE. AT LEAST I

HOPE IT’S WHERE WE ARE. IT’S THE RESULT OF A

SMALL BLACK SWAN.]

Page 22: Richard Aboulafia

Three Scenarios2. We’re still falling:

–Deflationary shock hurts prices and demand.

–Massive liquidity injections help.

–Then inflation. That feels better than deflation.

–Little growth (stagflation), but at least the

steep fall would end.

–Think: Big “V” or “W” (dead cat bounce).

[THIS MIGHT BE WHERE WE ARE.]

Page 23: Richard Aboulafia

Three Scenarios3. We Have A Serious Problem:

– We’re overleveraged and indebted.

– Starting an extended period of painful restructuring and de-leveraging, perhaps with global stagflation (following deflation).

– Overdue social spending bills make it worse.

– After a painful downturn, a decade of lost growth.

– Populist anti-globalization/anti-market economy sentiment could make things worse too.

– Think: Big “L,” or bathtub. [THIS IS A REMOTE BUT A TANGIBLE RISK,

AND PRODUCED BY A BIG ANGRY BLACK SWAN.]

Page 24: Richard Aboulafia

Forecast Assumptions• This is a three year downturn:

–Recession/corporate profits: 2008-10.

–Availability/pricing: 8-2008 through mid 2010.

–Deliveries: 2009-2011.

• Trough: 2011, 40% below 2008 peak by value.

–Compare with two year -34% drop in 2001-03.

• Recovery: five years at 10% CAGR –This is quite conservative—2003-2008 recovery

was 17.1%.

• Deliveries of 9,300 bizjets worth $153.7

billion (‘09$) in 2009-2018.

–Plus 575 corporate jetliners and RJs worth

$29.6 billion.

–Plus 2,893 turboprops worth $12.4 billion.

Barriers To Aviation Market Entry: Stubbornly High

Except, Perhaps, In This Segment• One successful new civil jet manufacturer

since 1960. Tough for niche players.

• Capital requirements: for $500 million, you can dig yourself a hole...

• Honda, the great exception.

• Prop guys moving up?

• Are we losing our magnetic attraction?–Bombardier’s CSeries.

–Embraer’s KC-390.

Page 33: Richard Aboulafia

VLJs/Air Taxis: We Can Learn A Lot From This Atrocity

• It’s Worse Than That, They’re Dead, Jim: Adam Aircraft, Safire, Avocet, AASI, Century Jet, ATG, Promavia,

Visionaire, Eclipse, Grob Utility Jet.

• It’s Life Jim, But Not As We Know It: Sino-

Swearingen, Epic Elite/Victory, D-Jet, Piperjet, Cirrus Jet,

Spectrum Aeronautical.

• People Who Definitely Will Profit From

This Bloated Fiasco: Cessna, Embraer, Pratt &

Whitney Canada.

Page 34: Richard Aboulafia

A Few Concluding Thoughts• I am not aware of any responsible forecasts

calling for an end to long-term economic and corporate wealth growth.

• I am slightly worried about de-linkage between these drivers and business aircraft demand.–But “all of this has happened before, and all of

this will happen again.”

• We’re clawing out. But I am worried about the next six months.
