We have remained consistent in our view all year that to the extent demand conditions weakened further, we would be able to offset that with strength in composites, improving margins and cost reductions.” This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of certain items, such as, but not limited to, environmental remediation costs, mark-to-market adjustments associated with benefit plans, acquisition related costs, and other non-routine costs. These costs are included in Corporate.

Tailored to customer design and performance specifications, panels are engineered with custom formulated resins, structural core materials, and fibers to achieve specific stiffness, strength, weight, performance and cost targets. An engineered panel can reduce system costs through elimination of welding, drilling, bolting and riveting typically associated with metallic panel fabrication. Unlimited lengths and a continuous manufacturing process also provide significant cost savings over traditional composite panel manufacturing techniques.
