Re Contract

Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, today announced an order worth
more than £100 million to supply integrated power and propulsion systems for
seven offshore drilling vessels in Brazil.

The ships will be built at the Atlântico Sul shipyard for Brazilian oil company
Petrobras. Rolls-Royce will equip each of the seven vessels, which will satisfy
local content requirements, with six large thrusters and six Bergen diesel
generator sets. Together, the systems will be used to propel the vessels to and
from drill sites and to accurately maintain their positioning during drilling
operations.

ROLLS-ROYCE WINS CONTRACT TO SUPPLY WATERJETS FOR THE
FINNISH NAVY´S NEW HIGH SPEED LANDING CRAFT

Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, has won a contract to supply
water jets to power Marine Alutech Oy Ab's new Watercat™ M18 AMC high speed
troop transport craft, that are currently under construction for the Finnish
Navy.

The boats, classified as U700, are designed and built by the Marine Alutech
shipyard in Teijo, Finland, which specialises in patrol and military vessels.

The contract, for 12 craft, will involve the supply of Rolls-Royce 40A3 water
jets (two per craft), and a state-of-art control system that will enhance the
manoeuvring capabilities of the vessels.

Re Contract

Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, has signed a $1bn contract, at
list prices, from Japan's Skymark Airlines for Trent 900 engines to power six
Airbus A380 aircraft.

The Trent 900 order, which follows the announcement of a letter of intent for
these engines in September 2011, includes long-term TotalCare® service support.
The aircraft will enter into service in 2014.

Rolls-Royce is the world's leading supplier of jet engines. Just what Mr Claus needs to power his sleigh.

Rolls-Royce has been increasing its shareholder dividend every year since 2006. Better still, it has not been shy with those dividend increases: the average annual rise in that time has been 12.8% a year.

There are expectations that the payout will continue rising at a similar rate for the next two years. This puts the shares on an estimated yield for 2012 of 2.3%, rising to 2.5% in 2013.

That dividend is well covered by expected earnings. Analysts forecast that Rolls-Royce will deliver a 25.8% earnings per share (EPS) increase for the full year 2012, followed by a 12.3% increase on that figure in 2013.

Hi DC, it seems to be recovering well after being hit by bribery accusations. It was motoring well prior to those allegations. Now back above 50DMA on my watch list.

Agree Chris

to support AE 1107C engines for V-22 aircraft operated by the US Marine Corps
and Air Force.

Questor share tip: Rolls-Royce will power ahead
Rolls-Royce has won another US military contract. Questor says buy.

Dispelling some concerns about global defence spending, on Friday Rolls-Royce won a $52.2m (£32.6m) contract with the US marine Corp to repair and maintain engines.

Of course, military spending is currently going through a squeeze, but budgets are unlikely to wither away completely.

Rolls, which generated a fifth of its sales in 2011 from defence, should escape the worse of the cuts. The turbine maker provides critical equipment and benefits form long-term contracts to maintain the engines and replace their parts. Indeed, 53pc of group sales is generated by such recurring services.

Demand for military engines over the next 20 years could be around $155bn, Rolls estimates, and for services and support equipment $260bn.

However, civil aviation looks set to boom. According to data from the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), some 2.9bn people used air transport in 2012. The highest growth was seen in the Middle East and the ICAO expects the industry will see 6bn people flying each year by 2030.

There should also be good growth in Rolls’ marine business, where it makes systems for offshore oil and gas, merchant and naval vessels. Its power generation business, which designs and manufacturers turbines for nuclear, oil and gas power plants also has strong prospects.

Rolls is currently facing a probe by the Serious Fraud Office looking into allegations of bribery in Asia. It is impossible to predict the outcome of any such investigation. It is something of which investors should be aware but it should eventually be resolved and Rolls is co-operating.

The shares are trading on a December 2013 earning multiple of 14.2 falling to 13. The prospective yield is 2.4pc. The shares are a buy.

Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, today announced a $75million
contract to supply PetroChina with equipment and related services to power the
flow of natural gas through Line 3 of the West-East Pipeline Project (WEPP),
