© Rolls-Royce plc 2008 Legal Information

Our consistent strategy has created a business that is increasingly global in terms of its operational footprint and has access to a broad range of growing markets worldwide.

This access to markets is distinctive. It has profoundly influenced the nature of our order book, which has increased in line with our greater geographical spread and also reflects the growing economic significance of Asia and the Middle East.

Our strong order book, together with the long product life cycle and our ability to provide valuable services to customers, has greatly increased the predictability of our business.

Responding to these opportunities will inevitably see the Company continue to change at an equivalent or faster pace than that of the past two decades.

Our strong focus on productivity and efficiency, our broad product and service portfolio and our access to global markets give us confidence that in 2008, Rolls-Royce will continue to deliver profitable growth and a positive cash flow.
