About Louis Berger Services, Inc.




Louis Berger Services, Inc. was founded on a strong history and a recognized brand in predecessor operations. Starting in early 1997, our predecessor aerospace/defense businesses were founded in Greenville, South Carolina. Since then, we have successfully transformed several aerospace enterprises, some of these are now the largest and strongest brands in their respective segments in North America. Adding capital, plus strategic, financial and operational expertise, we have created opportunity for employees, quality in operations, and long term capital appreciation for shareholders. Over the years we have created thousands of new jobs, and in our most successful "realized exits," our shareholders have attained superior returns. Now, with a very large new parent company, we are poised for aggressive growth.

Defense spending in the United States is shifting more strongly toward "Operations & Maintenance," which is the segment of the DOD budget from which most of our revenues are derived. The O&M missions of the United States military around the world are likely to remain relatively constant, given the many uncertainties and dangers that persist on many fronts. As new procurements give way to RESET and upgrades, our businesses are advantaged. We make an ideal cost-effective partner for larger companies seeking O&M business, and our many prime contracts stem from highly essential worldwide missions such as airlift and logistics/maintenance support. These macro-economic trends are the backdrop for Louis Berger Service's continuing growth, and our solid prospects for ongoing strategic expansion. On a historical basis, defense spending has averaged approximately 2.0% real annual growth since 1948 and is not believed to be directly correlated to overall economic conditions in the United States or globally. We continuously study our served markets in order to best position our operating units for growth. The continuing trend to outsource non-combat defense support activities is expected to continue.

Strong underpinnings exist in our end user served market channels. We provide airfield and aircraft services for “the world’s largest airline”. We provide technical expertise on the repair, maintenance, modification, warranty, upgrade and overhaul services of the largest assembly of wheeled and tracked tactical vehicles in the history of modern warfare. Both of these huge “Installed Bases” of thousands of aircraft and hundreds of thousands of tactical vehicles provide very long term buoyancy in our served market channels. We complement those served markets with high value-adding engineering, and creative growth ventures with strong partners.
