It has been a good quarter for the industry as aerospace has seen a number of significant milestones. Boeing announced an increase in the 737 production rate to an all-time high of 52 per month beginning in 2018 following a previous announcement of 47 per month in 2017, said President and Chief Executive Officer Larry Lawson.
* Non-GAAP financial measure, see Appendix for reconciliation.

Another significant highlight this quarter was Airbus achievement of two important milestones. These milestones include type certification of the Airbus A350 by EASA and first flight of the Airbus A320neo. We would like to congratulate Airbus on these accomplishments and we are proud to be on the team, Lawson continued.
We are maximizing our internal capabilities more effectively. This quarter we continued to consolidate our global engineering resources to have better workforce stability, improved domain expertise and lower cost. Were in the final stages of centralizing our procurement activities which is already yielding improvement in performance and cost, Lawson continued.
Spirits backlog grew to a new record of approximately $44 billion at the end of the third quarter compared to $41 billion at the end of the second quarter.
Spirit updated its contract profitability estimates during the third quarter of 2014 due to improved performance and reduced risks, resulting in net pre-tax $33 million, or $0.16 per share#, favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments on mature programs.
In comparison, the third quarter of 2013 included net pre-tax charges of ($124) million and net pre-tax favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments of $28 million.
Free cash flow was a $75 million* source of cash for the third quarter of 2014, compared to a $128 million* source of cash for the third quarter of 2013 reflecting higher cash tax payments, partially offset by improved operational performance and lower capital expenditures. Year-to-date free cash flow was a $194 million* source of cash compared to a $7 million* source of cash in 2013. (Table 2)

On August 7, 2014, Spirit, Onex and certain current and former members of Spirit management entered into an underwriting agreement for the sale by such stockholders of 8,577,155 shares of Spirits Class A common stock in a secondary public offering. Following the completion of the offering, which closed on August 13, 2014, Onex no longer owned any shares of the company.

Financial Outlook and Risk to Future Financial Results
Spirit revenue guidance for the full-year 2014 is expected to be $6.8 to $6.9�billion based on Boeings 2014 projected deliveries of 715 to 725 aircraft; projected Airbus deliveries in 2014 at a similar level to those in 2013; internal Spirit forecasts for other customer production activities; and expected non-production revenues.
Fully diluted earnings per share guidance for 2014 is increased and is expected to be $3.35 to $3.45 per share and does not include the impact of the year-to-date and potential future adjustments to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
Free cash flow guidance is increased by $25 million and is now expected to be approximately $275 million* from previous guidance of $250 million*.
The effective tax rate for 2014 is forecasted to be approximately 30.0 to 31.0 percent, including the expected benefit of the U.S. Research Tax Credit for 2014, and excluding any potential adjustment to the valuation allowance recorded against the U.S. net deferred tax assets at the end of 2013. (Table 3)
Risks to our financial guidance are described in the Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements contained in this release and in the Risk Factors section of our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
