John Rishton, Chief Executive, said: 
 
"Rolls-Royce has delivered solid growth in underlying revenue and 
underlying profit in the first half of the year. 
 
"We continue to invest to support future growth, including our new 
production facility in Singapore, a new turbine blade casting plant in the UK, 
a new stator facility in the USA and a new assembly plant for our Energy 
business in Brazil. 
 
"For the full year, we continue to expect good growth in underlying 
profit with cash flow around breakeven, excluding the positive impact of the 
Tognum acquisition and the sale of our equity stake in IAE." 
 
Group Overview 
 
In the first half of the year, underlying revenue increased by five 
per cent and underlying profit by seven per cent. We continue to invest in 
technology, infrastructure and people. These investments will enable us to 
meet our customer commitments and improve efficiency. 
 
This programme of investment continued in the first half: 
 
- We opened our new state-of-the-art facilities in Singapore, where we will 
manufacture wide-chord fan blades and assemble large civil engines for the 
first time outside the UK. We will be producing engines later in 2012 and will 
be at full production capability by the end of 2013. 
 
- We are building a new casting facility at Rotherham in the UK that will have 
capacity to produce 100,000 turbine blades a year. 
 
- A new advanced manufacturing facility at Indianapolis will produce 
compressor banded stators for our Civil Aerospace business. 
 
- At Santa Cruz in Brazil work has started on a new assembly plant for our 
Energy business. 
 
- We began building a new nuclear reactor core factory at Derby in the UK as 
part of a GBP1bn contract with the Ministry of Defence to support the UK's 
nuclear powered submarine fleet. 
 
- Construction has begun on a new Heathrow Services Centre. This will expand 
the scale and capability of the services operations for our growing Civil 
Aerospace customer base at London Heathrow. 
 
- We announced an expansion programme of our global network of Authorised 
Maintenance Centres (AMCs) for our Defence Aerospace customers. These AMCs 
will enhance our capacity to provide repair and overhaul services for the 
installed base of T56 engines that power military transport aircraft such as 
the C-130 Hercules and the P3 Orion. 
 
- We announced our intention to acquire Aero Engine Controls ("AEC"), a joint 
venture with Goodrich Corporation. The transaction will give us full ownership 
of a critical capability that enhances jet engine performance. 
 
The status of two major transactions is as follows: 
 
1. Sale of IAE Share Holding 
 
The sale to Pratt & Whitney of our 32.5% share holding in IAE 
completed for a consideration of US$1.5 billion, subject to working capital 
adjustments. We remain an essential supplier to IAE and will benefit from a 
revenue stream from the current installed fleet of V2500-powered aircraft for 
the next 15 years. Rolls-Royce remains committed to the mid-size aircraft 
market, to IAE and to its customers and will continue to be responsible for 
the manufacture of high-pressure compressors, fan blades and discs as well as 
the provision of engineering support and final assembly of 50 per cent of 
V2500 engines. 
 
Our long and successful partnership with Pratt & Whitney will 
continue through a new venture to be established, subject to regulatory 
approval, to develop engines for the next generation of mid-size aircraft. The 
other IAE partners, Japanese Aero Engines Corporation (JAEC) and MTU Aero 
Engines GmbH (MTU), have also agreed to join this new venture. 
 
2. Acquisition of Tognum AG 
 
Engine Holding GmbH, our 50:50 joint venture with Daimler, owns 
over 99% of shares in Tognum. The German legal process to acquire the 
remaining shares is now expected to be completed in the first half of 2013. 
The Group will therefore equity account Tognum for 2012 and fully consolidate 
it upon completion. 
 
Group Trading Summary 
 
 Order Book 
 
- The order book increased four per cent to GBP60.1bn, adjusted for 
the IAE disposal. Order intake of GBP9.1bn comprised new orders of GBP6.0bn in 
Civil Aerospace, GBP0.6bn in Defence Aerospace, GBP2.2bn in Marine and GBP0.3bn in 
Energy. 
 
Income Statement 
 
- Underlying revenue, up five per cent to GBP5.76bn, included five 
per cent growth in underlying OE revenue (GBP2.72bn) and six per cent growth in 
underlying services revenue (GBP3.04bn). 
 
- Underlying OE revenue growth included increased deliveries of 
Trent, V2500 and corporate engines in Civil Aerospace (up 26 per cent) and of 
military transport and civil helicopter engines in Defence Aerospace (up 11 
per cent). Growth was offset by the reduction in Marine (down 11 per cent) and 
Energy (down 43 per cent). 
 
- Underlying services revenue increased six per cent. Services grew 
ten per cent in Civil Aerospace, in line with growth in the installed base, 
and ten per cent in Defence Aerospace, excluding the GBP60m one-off SDSR 
settlement in 2011. Energy also saw good growth. Marine was down six per cent 
reflecting deferrals of maintenance activity by customers and lower spares 
spend. 
 
- Underlying profit before tax increased seven per cent to GBP637m, 
reflecting revenue growth, revenue mix, unit cost reduction and the 
contribution of Tognum. These benefits were partially offset in Civil 
Aerospace by higher R&D charges and lower entry fees associated with major new 
programmes, and in Defence Aerospace by the non recurrence of the GBP60m SDSR 
settlement. Underlying earnings per share (UEPS) improved 11 per cent compared 
with H1 2011. 
 
Balance Sheet 
 
- The balance sheet remains strong with net cash at period end of 
GBP869m, up from GBP223m at the end of 2011. Average net cash reduced since the 
first half of 2011, primarily due to the acquisition of Tognum in the second 
half of 2011. The GBP953m consideration for the sale of the IAE share holding 
had no effect on average net cash in the first half but will have an impact in 
the second half of the year. 
 
- In April, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its long- and 
short-term corporate credit ratings for the Group to 'A/A-1' from 'A-/A-2'. 
 
- The Group continued to have good liquidity with GBP3.15bn of cash 
and committed facilities. Debt maturities remain well spread through to 2019. 
 
- Pension liabilities increased by GBP173m on an accounting basis due 
to a reduction in the discount rate. On an economic basis however, funding 
requirements remain stable following the series of measures taken in recent 
years to achieve greater certainty for our major UK schemes. 
 
Cash Flow 
 
- A cash inflow of GBP646m during the period included GBP953m from the 
disposal of IAE and GBP167m for the contribution of Bergen to Engine Holding. 
Excluding acquisitions, disposals and foreign exchange, the outflow of GBP447m 
reflects the continued investment programme in future growth and the increase 
in net working capital required ahead of OE volume growth, predominantly in 
Civil Aerospace. 
 
Group Prospects 
 
Confirming full year 2012 Group guidance for growth in underlying 
revenue and underlying profit: 
 
For the full year 2012, the Group continues to expect good growth 
in underlying revenue and underlying profit, with cash flow around breakeven 
as we continue to invest for future growth. 
 
This guidance includes the performance of Bergen, but excludes the 
impact of the Tognum acquisition and the IAE transaction, for which further 
information is given below. 
 
In Civil Aerospace, we anticipate good growth in underlying revenue 
and strong growth in underlying profit. In Defence Aerospace we expect modest 
growth in underlying revenue and profit. In Marine we expect a modest increase 
in underlying revenue, with underlying profit broadly flat. And in Energy we 
now expect underlying revenue to be broadly flat with some improvement in 
underlying profit. 
 
The implications of the Tognum acquisition on 2012 performance: 
 
The Group cannot provide financial guidance on Tognum while it is 
still listed. 
 
Tognum will report its second quarter results on 7 August 2012. 
 
The implications of the IAE transaction on 2012 performance: 
 
The Group expects the revised trading arrangements with IAE to 
produce a benefit of around GBP70m to Civil Aerospace's underlying profit in 
2012.

Financial 
 
- New orders of GBP6.0bn (GBP6.5bn in H1 2011) resulted in a four per 
cent increase in the order book. We continue to grow our wide-body market 
share with Trent engines making up around 70 per cent of our order book of 
almost 3,300 engines. We remain committed to the mid-size market both as a 
supplier to IAE and via our planned new joint venture with the IAE partners to 
develop the next generation of engines for this market segment. Our continued 
success in the corporate market is being driven by primarily by the success of 
our BR700 series of engines for large cabin Gulfstream and Bombardier 
aircraft. Significant orders in the period included: 
 
- Trent 700 engines and TotalCare support for a total of 44 Airbus 
A330s for China Eastern, Synergy, Garuda Indonesia, Air Pacific and Etihad. 
 
- Trent 1000 engines and TotalCare support for five Boeing 787s for 
Avianca and Air New Zealand. 
 
- Trent XWB engines and TotalCare support for six A350s for Cathay 
Pacific. 
 
- Revenue increased by 17 per cent. There was a 26 per cent growth 
in OE revenue, primarily reflecting higher deliveries of Trent and corporate 
engines. Services revenue grew by ten per cent consistent with growth in the 
installed base of thrust. 
 
- Profit increased by 24 per cent due to increased OE volume, 
better OE mix, services growth and unit cost improvements. This growth was 
tempered by a higher R&D charge to higher spend and lower capitalisation 
related to major new programme activity, and lower entry fees related to the 
Trent XWB. 
 
Portfolio 
 
- The Trent XWB engine took to the skies for the first time, 
powering an Airbus A380 test aircraft, and completed over 70 hours and over 20 
flights. The Trent XWB is the world's most efficient large jet engine and is 
the fastest-selling Trent engine ever, with orders for more than 1,100 engines 
already received. 
 
- Trent 1000 engines have now powered more than 4,500 flights on 
ten Boeing 787s with Japanese airline ANA.

Financial 
 
- An eight per cent reduction in the order book to GBP5.5bn reflects 
the budgetary pressures of our major customers in Europe and North America. 
Net order intake was GBP0.6bn and includes cancellations of GBP0.4bn, the majority 
of which reflects the cancellation of the C27J aircraft contract by the US 
Department of Defense ("DoD"). The business continues to benefit from the 
breadth and diversity of our portfolio and our access to developing economies. 
Significant orders in the period included: 
 
- Over US$870m worth of contracts with the US DoD for OE and 
services for military transport engines for the US Air Force, US Marine Corps 
and US Navy. 
 
- A US$315m contract from Pratt & Whitney for 17 LiftSystem sets 
for the F-35B STOVL variant of the Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter. 
 
- A GBP100m contract extension to maintain the engines for the UK 
MoD's fleet of C-130 military transport and VC10 tanker fleets of aircraft. 
 
- A contract with the Royal Australian Air Force to help improve 
the fuel efficiency of its fleet of C-130 military transport aircraft. 
 
- Revenue increased by four per cent, reflecting an 11 per cent 
increase in OE revenue. OE revenue benefited from a 19 per cent increase in 
engine deliveries, with more military transport and combat engines and 
significantly more civil helicopter engines delivered during the period. 
Services revenue fell by two per cent, however adjusted for the non-recurrence 
of the GBP60m SDSR benefit in H1 2011, services revenue increased by ten per 
cent. This increase highlights how our large installed base will continue to 
provide services opportunities as customers seek to optimise the efficiency of 
their aircraft. 
 
- Profit was down 11 per cent, primarily due to the non-recurrence 
of the GBP60m SDSR benefit in 2011. Adjusted for the non-recurrence of this 
benefit, profit increased by 23 per cent due to increased OE volumes and mix, 
growth in services and unit cost improvements. 
 
Portfolio 
 
- The F-35B made its maiden training mission and also its 500th 
short take-off during the first half. The DoD lifted the probationary status 
for the F-35B STOVL variant of the JSF, safeguarding the future of the 
LiftSystem. 
 
- We continue to work with our partners on the TP400 engine towards 
the 2013 entry into service of the A400M military transport aircraft. 
 
- We continued to invest in the ADVENT development programme for 
the next generation of heavy combat aircraft for the United States Air Force, 
and are bidding for inclusion in the AETD development programme.

Financial 
 
- A 44 per cent increase in the order book to GBP3.9bn includes 
GBP2.2bn of new orders compared with GBP1.0bn in H1 2011. Most of this increase is 
due to the GBP1bn order by the UK MoD to deliver reactor cores for its fleet of 
nuclear-powered submarines. Offshore orders were encouraging and reflected the 
increasing bid activity in the Oil & Gas sector in areas such as Brazil, 
partially offset by weak order flow in the Merchant sector. The Naval business 
remains stable. Significant orders in the period included: 
 
- A contract with the US Navy to supply power and propulsion 
systems for the two latest vessels in the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) 
programme. 
 
- A contract with the Republic of Korea's Navy to supply the MT30 
gas turbine to power a new FFX frigate. This is the first order for the MT30 
in Asia. 
 
- Over GBP100m of contracts to design and equip 13 Offshore Supply 
Vessels (OSVs) for Norway's Farstad Shipping, Korea's Hyundai and Brazil's 
Navegação São Miguel. 
 
- Revenue fell by nine per cent reflecting lower OE volumes and 
deferrals by customers of services activity. Services revenue was also 
affected by lower customer spend as a result of reduced workscopes. This was 
partially offset by a better capture of the available market from the recent 
investment in the global network of services centres. 
 
- Profit reduced by six per cent due to lower OE and services 
volumes, competitive pricing pressures and some adverse foreign exchange 
movement, partially offset by cost reduction. 
 
Portfolio 
 
- The reactor core contract with the UK MoD includes the 
regeneration of our manufacturing facility in Derby. The phased re-build will 
provide a leading-edge manufacturing facility with the highest standards of 
safety to support the future programme needs of the UK MoD. 
 
- The OSVs we design and equip support complex and demanding subsea 
projects, including construction and servicing of oil and gas wells on the sea 
bed up to 3,000 metres beneath sea level. We are well positioned to take 
advantage of growth in this market as an increasing proportion of the world's 
oil supply comes from beneath deep seas. 
 
- Tognum will add complementary high-speed diesel and other 
products and scale to our existing portfolio and systems integration 
capabilities.

Financial 
 
- A seven per cent reduction in the order book included an order 
intake of GBP0.3bn (GBP0.4bn in H1 2011). In the Oil & Gas market, high oil prices 
continue to sustain bid activity around the world, albeit with pricing 
pressures and order deferrals by some customers. The traditional power 
generation market remains suppressed and industrial demand has not yet fully 
recovered to pre-2008 levels, with few new projects being tendered in the 
developed world. However we continue to see opportunities in the developing 
economies. We continue to invest for future growth in Civil Nuclear. 
Significant orders in the period included: 
 
- A Power Generation contract to supply two industrial Trent 60 WLE 
gas turbines to power LUKOIL's plant in Russia. 
 
- A Power Generation contract to supply a Trent 60 WLE gas turbine 
for the El Alto plant in the Kenko Zone that will power over 100,000 homes in 
and around La Paz, Bolivia. 
 
- An Oil & Gas contract to supply an RB211 to operate PTT's Ethane 
Separation Plant in Thailand. 
 
- Revenue fell by 18 per cent due to a significant reduction in OE 
revenue and adverse revenue mix in Oil & Gas and in Power Generation. The OE 
reduction was partially offset by a 16 per cent increase in services revenue. 
Services revenue, particularly in Oil & Gas, benefited from a better 
penetration of the aftermarket services market for the installed base across 
all markets. 
 
- The reduced loss in H1 is due to the increased aftermarket volume 
partly offset by higher R&D spend, lower OE volumes and also increased 
investment in Civil Nuclear. 
 
Portfolio 
 
- An agreement was signed with Areva to collaborate further on 
civil nuclear new build projects for which we will manufacture complex 
components and provide engineering and technical services. 
 
- LG has invested $45m to acquire a 51% share holding in 
Rolls-Royce Fuel Systems (US) Inc. that will enable the business to further 
the research, development, testing and commercialisation of solid oxide fuel 
cell technology. 
 
- Ground has been broken for a new purpose-built gas turbine 
package, assembly and test facility in Santa Cruz in the state of Rio de 
Janeiro. The facility is expected to start production from the first quarter

- Engine Holding, our 50:50 joint venture with Daimler, owns 100 
per cent of Bergen and over 99 per cent of Tognum. Engine Holding's revenue 
and H1 2011 profit includes only the contribution of Bergen (100%). Engine 
Holding's H1 2012 profit of GBP52m includes 100 per cent of Bergen's profit of 
GBP17m and our share of Tognum's post tax contribution of GBP35m on an equity 
accounting basis. Further details are provided in Note 2 on p. 19. 
 
- Underlying profit before financing costs and taxation is 
discussed in the relevant business sections. 
 
- Underlying financing costs increased by GBP7m, largely reflecting 
an increased interest charge, consistent with the lower average cash balances 
following the Tognum investment in H2 2011. 
 
- Underlying taxation of GBP140m, represents an underlying tax rate 
of 22.0 per cent, lower than the 25.6 per cent in 2011, primarily due to the 
impact of equity accounting Tognum (on a post tax basis) which dilutes the 
overall Group underlying rate. 
 
- Underlying EPS increased by 11% to 26.54 pence, marginally lower 
than the increase in underlying profit for the period. 
 
- Payment to shareholders is made in the form of C Shares which is 
explained on p. 26. An interim payment to shareholders of 7.6 pence per share 
will be made, a ten per cent increase to 2011. 
 
- Other operating income relates to programme receipts from RRSPs, 
which reimburse past R&D costs. These receipts decreased by 67 per cent in 
2012 due to the phasing of major programmes. 
 
- Net R&D charged to the income statement increased by 36 per cent 
to GBP285m. This reflects a combination of increased investment, compounded by 
lower capitalisation and higher amortisation due to the phasing of new 
programmes. 
 
- Foreign exchange rate movements influence the reported income 
statement, the cash flow and closing net cash balance. The average and spot

- Intangible assets relate to goodwill, certification costs, 
participation fees, development expenditure, recoverable engine costs, 
software and other costs that represent long-term assets of the Group. In 
aggregate, these assets remained broadly unchanged at GBP2.9bn with increased 
software costs being offset by amortisation of previously capitalised 
development costs. The carrying values of the intangible assets are assessed 
for impairment against the present value of forecast cash flows generated by 
the intangible asset. The principal risks remain: reductions in assumed market 
share; programme timings; increases in unit cost assumptions; and adverse 
movements in discount rates. There have been no impairments in 2012. Further 
details are given in Note 7 of the condensed financial statements on p.22. 
 
- Property, plant and equipment increased by two per cent to GBP2.4bn 
due to the ongoing development and refreshment of facilities and tooling, as 
the Group prepares for increased production volumes. 
 
- Net post-retirement scheme deficits increased by 44 per cent, 
primarily due to a reduction in the discount rates used to value the 
liabilities for accounting purposes. Over 80 per cent of the assets are held 
in liability-driven investment portfolios that are designed to match changes 
to the liabilities on a funding basis. 
 
- Net funds increased to GBP869m largely due to the $1.5bn 
consideration received following the sale of the Group's 32.5 per cent 
shareholding in IAE. This was partly offset by the impact of increased capital 
expenditure and an increase in working capital. As a result of the Tognum 
investment in the second half of 2011, average net funds decreased from GBP780m 
to GBP(590)m (GBP755m excluding Tognum). The Group continues to have access to 
good liquidity with GBP0.9bn undrawn committed facilities and bond proceeds of 
GBP1.4bn, providing total liquidity of GBP3.2bn when net funds of GBP0.9bn are taken 
into consideration. 
 
- Investment - joint ventures and associates increased by GBP153m to 
GBP1.8bn, the increase principally reflects the contribution of Bergen Engines 
AS (GBP167m) to Engine Holding. 
 
- Assets held for sale were derecognised following the completion 
of the IAE restructuring. 
 
- Provisions largely relate to warranties and guarantees provided 
to secure the sale of OE and services. Provisions in total reduced modestly to 
GBP457m following utilisation in the period of previously charged provisions. 
 
- Net financial assets and liabilities relate to financial RRSPs 
and the fair value of foreign exchange, commodity and interest rate contracts, 
set out in detail in Note 8 to the condensed financial statements on p.23. The 
change largely reflects the impact of the change in the GBP/USD exchange rate 
on the valuation of foreign exchange contracts. 
 
- The USD hedge book of US$24.1bn represents over five years of net 
exposure and has an average book rate of GBP1 to US$1.59. Current forward market 
exchange rates are similar to current average book rates. 
 
- Net TotalCare assets relate to long-term service agreement 
contracts in the Civil Aerospace business, including the flagship services 
product TotalCare. These assets represent the timing difference between the 
recognition of income and costs in the income statement and cash receipts and 
payments. 
 
- Customer financing facilitates the sale of OE and services by 
providing financing support from to certain customers. Where such support is 
provided by the Group, it is generally to customers of the civil aerospace 
business and takes the form of various types of credit and asset value 
guarantees. The contingent liabilities represent the maximum aggregate 
discounted gross and net exposure in respect of delivered aircraft, regardless 
of the point in time at which such exposures may arise. During the first half 
of 2012, the Group's gross exposure remained relatively stable. The net 
exposure reduced to GBP76m (December 31, 2011 GBP124m) primarily as a result of 
the IAE restructuring.

1 On May 23, 2011, under a scheme of arrangement between 
Rolls-Royce Group plc, the former holding company of the Group, and its 
shareholders under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006, and as sanctioned by the 
High Court, all the issued ordinary shares in that company were cancelled and 
the same number of new ordinary shares were issued to Rolls-Royce Holdings plc 
in consideration for the allotment to shareholders of one ordinary share in 
Rolls-Royce Holdings plc for each ordinary share in Rolls-Royce Group plc held 
on the record date (May 20, 2011). 
 
 On May 23, 2011, pursuant to the scheme of arrangement noted 
above, 1,872,188,709 ordinary shares of 150 pence were issued. As required by 
Section 612 of the Companies Act 2006, no share premium was recognised. 
 
 On May 24, 2011, the share capital of Rolls-Royce Holdings plc was 
reduced by reducing the nominal value of the ordinary shares from 150 pence to 
20 pence as sanctioned by the High Court. 
 
2 On January 2, 2012, the Group contributed its interest in Bergen 
Engines AS to Engine Holding GmbH, a company jointly held by Rolls-Royce and 
Daimler AG. Under the terms of agreement with Daimler, Rolls-Royce has 
retained certain rights such that Bergen Engines continues to be classified as 
a subsidiary and consolidated. 
 
1 Basis of preparation and accounting policies 
 
Reporting entity 
 
Rolls-Royce Holdings plc is a company domiciled in the UK. These 
condensed consolidated half-year financial statements of the Company as at and 
for the six months ended June 30, 2012 comprise the Company and its 
subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group") and the Group's interests 
in joint ventures and associates. 
 
The consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for 
the year ended December 31, 2011 (2011 Annual report) are available upon 
request from the Company Secretary, Rolls­­­-Royce Holdings plc, 65 
Buckingham Gate, London SW1E 6AT. 
 
Statement of compliance 
 
These condensed consolidated half-year financial statements have 
been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted 
by the European Union. They do not include all of the information required for 
full annual statements, and should be read in conjunction with the 2011 Annual 
report. 
 
The comparative figures for the financial year December 31, 2011 
are not the Group's statutory accounts for that financial year. Those accounts 
have been reported on by the Group's auditors and delivered to the registrar 
of companies. The report of the auditors was (i) unqualified, (ii) did not 
include a reference to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way 
of emphasis without qualifying their report, and (iii) did not contain a 
statement under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006. 
 
The Board of directors approved the condensed consolidated 
half-year financial statements on July 25, 2012. 
 
Significant accounting policies 
 
The accounting policies applied by the Group in these condensed 
consolidated half-year financial statements are the same as those that applied 
to the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 
December 31, 2011 (International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the 
International Accounting Standards Board, as adopted for use in the EU 
effective at December 31, 2011). 
 
Key sources of estimation uncertainty 
 
In applying the accounting policies, management has made 
appropriate estimates in many areas, and the actual outcome may differ from 
those calculated. The key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance 
sheet date were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial 
statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2011. 
 
2 Analysis by business segment 
 
The analysis by business segment is presented in accordance with 
IFRS 8 Operating segments, on the basis of those segments whose operating 
results are regularly reviewed by the Board. Following the transfer of Bergen 
Engines AS to Engine Holding GmbH on January 2, 2012, the comparative figures 
for 2011 have been restated to put them on a consistent basis. 
 
The operating results are prepared on an underlying basis that 
excludes items considered to be non-underlying in nature. The principles 
adopted are: 
 
Underlying revenues - Where revenues are denominated in a currency 
other than the functional currency of the Group undertaking, these reflect the 
achieved exchange rates arising on settled derivative contracts. 
 
Underlying profit before financing - Where transactions are 
denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Group 
undertaking, this reflects the transactions at the achieved exchange rates on 
settled derivative contracts. The revaluation effects of acquisition 
accounting are excluded and, in 2012, the profit arising on the restructuring 
of IAE is also excluded. In 2011, the effects of one-off past-service credits 
on post-retirement schemes were excluded. 
 
Underlying profit before taxation - In addition to those 
adjustments in underlying profit before financing, this: 
 
- Includes amounts realised from settled derivative contracts and 
revaluation of relevant assets and liabilities to exchange rates forecast to 
be achieved from future settlement of derivative contracts; and 
 
- Excludes unrealised amounts arising from revaluations required by 
IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, changes in value of 
financial RRSP contracts arising from changes in forecast payments and the net 
impact of financing costs related to post-retirement scheme benefits. 
 
This analysis also includes a reconciliation of the underlying 
results to those reported in the consolidated income statement.

1 The adjustments for realised (gains)/losses on settled derivative 
contracts include adjustments to reflect the (gains)/losses in the same period 
as the related trading cash flows. It excludes amounts settled in respect of 
the IAE restructuring (GBP6m loss). 
 
2 The adjustments for unrealised fair value changes to derivative 
contracts include those in respect of in equity accounted joint ventures and 
exclude those for which the related trading contracts have been cancelled when 
the fair value changes are recognised immediately in underlying profit. 
 
3 In 2010, the UK Government announced changes to the basis of the 
statutory indexation for pension increases. As a result, the relevant 
arrangements were amended, resulting in a gain in the 2011 income statement of 
GBP130m, which has been excluded from underlying profit. 
 
4 During 2011, the Group agreed revised post-retirement healthcare 
arrangements on certain of its overseas schemes. This resulted in a net gain 
in the income statement of GBP34m (2011 half year GBP22m) which was excluded from 
underlying profit.

4 Earnings per ordinary share (EPS) 
 
Basic EPS are calculated by dividing the profit attributable to 
ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in 
issue during the period, excluding ordinary shares held under trust, which 
have been treated as if they had been cancelled. Diluted EPS are calculated by 
adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the 
period for the bonus element of share options.

5 Taxation 
 
The effective tax rate for the half year is 8.0% (2011: half year 
25.9%, full year 23.3%). Excluding the impact of the IAE restructuring, the 
effective tax rate for the half year is 23.2%. Pursuant to the Substantial 
Shareholdings Exemption, the majority of the upfront proceeds received on the 
IAE restructuring are not subject to tax, which has the effect of reducing the 
effective tax rate. The tax credit of GBP37m relating to the IAE restructuring 
arises as a consequence of the derecognition of various assets and liabilities 
on completion of the transaction. 
 
The UK corporation tax rate reduced from 26% to 24% on April 1, 
2012 and the effective tax rate takes this into account. The impact of the 
reduction to 25% was reflected in the 2011 closing deferred tax balances as 
the rate change was substantively enacted prior to the year end. As the 
further reduction to 24% was substantively enacted on March 26, 2012, the 
closing deferred tax assets and liabilities have been remeasured. The proposed 
future reductions in the rate to 22% will be reflected when the relevant 
legislation is substantively enacted. The impact of the reduction in the rate 
on the effective tax rate for the full year is not expected to be significant.

Certification costs and participation fees, development expenditure 
and recoverable engine costs have been reviewed for impairment in accordance 
with the requirements of IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. Where an impairment test 
was considered necessary, it has been performed on the following basis: 
 
- The carrying values have been assessed by reference to value in use. These 
have been estimated using cash flows from the most recent forecasts prepared 
by management, which are consistent with past experience and external sources 
of information on market conditions over the lives of the respective 
programmes. 
 
- The key assumptions underlying cash flow projections are assumed market 
share, programme timings, unit cost assumptions, discount rates, and foreign 
exchange rates. 
 
- The pre-tax cash flow projections have been discounted at 11% (2011 full 
year 11%), based on the Group's weighted average cost of capital. 
 
- No impairment is required on this basis. However, a combination of changes 
in assumptions and adverse movements in variables that are outside the 
Company's control (discount rate, exchange rate and airframe delays), could 
result in impairment in future periods.

Post-retirement scheme surpluses - included in non-current assets                             329           8        337 
Post-retirement scheme deficits - included in non-current liabilities                       (219)       (688)      (907) 
                                                                                              110       (680)      (570) 
1 Where a surplus has arisen on a scheme, in accordance with IAS 19 
and IFRIC 14, the surplus is recognised as an asset only if it represents an 
unconditional economic benefit available to the Group in the future. Any 
surplus in excess of this benefit is not recognised in the balance sheet. 
 
2 A minimum funding liability arises where the statutory funding 
requirements require future contributions in respect of past service that will 
result in a future unrecognisable surplus. 
 
10 Contingent liabilities and contingent assets 
 
In connection with the sale of its products the Group will, on some 
occasions, provide financing support for its customers. The Group's contingent 
liabilities related to financing arrangements are spread over many years and 
relate to a number of customers and a broad product portfolio.

delivered aircraft and other arrangements where financing is in place, less 
insurance and indemnity arrangements and relevant provisions were:

                                                                                    GBPm        $m         GBPm        $m 
Gross contingent liabilities                                                       602       944        612       951 
Contingent liabilities net of relevant security                                     76       119        124       192 
Contingent liabilities net of relevant security reduced by 20% 1                   145       228        201       312 
 
1 Although sensitivity calculations are complex, the reduction of the relevant 
security by 20% illustrates the sensitivity of the contingent liability to 
changes in this assumption. 
 
The reduction in net contingent liabilities since December 31, 2011 
is primarily a result of the IAE restructuring. 
 
Contingent liabilities exist in respect of guarantees provided by 
the Group in the ordinary course of business for product delivery, performance 
and reliability. The Group has, in the normal course of business, entered into 
arrangements in respect of export finance, performance bonds, countertrade 
obligations and minor miscellaneous items. Various Group undertakings are 
parties to legal actions and claims which arise in the ordinary course of 
business, some of which are for substantial amounts. While the outcome of some 
of these matters cannot precisely be foreseen, the directors do not expect any 
of these arrangements, legal actions or claims, after allowing for provisions 
already made, to result in significant loss to the Group.

12 Restructuring of IAE 
 
On June 29, 2012, the Group and Pratt & Whitney completed the 
restructuring of their participation in IAE, which produces the V2500 engine 
for the Airbus A320 family of aircraft. As a result of the restructuring, 
Rolls-Royce sold its equity, programme share and related goodwill in IAE to 
Pratt & Whitney for US$1.5 billion, giving rise to a profit before tax of GBP700 
million. 
 
As Rolls-Royce continues to be responsible for the manufacture of 
high-pressure compressors, fan blades as well as the provision of engine 
support and final assembly of 50 per cent of V2500 engines, the transaction is 
not considered to give rise to a discontinued operation. 
 
Principal risks and uncertainties 
 
Whilst the Group has a consistent strategy and long performance 
cycles, it continues to be exposed to a number of risks and has an 
established, structured approach to identifying, assessing and managing those 
risks. 
 
The principal risks facing the Group for the remaining six months 
of the financial year are unchanged from those reported on page 34 and 35 of 
the Annual report 2011, and are summarised below: 
 
- Significant external events affecting demand;              - Failure to grow capable resource globally; 
 
- Failure to minimise the environmental impact of the        - Product performance not meeting expectations; 
Group's products and operations; 
                                                             - Disruption of supply chain; 
- Reduction in government spending; 
                                                             - Downgrade in credit rating; 
- Failure of counterparties; 
                                                             - Failure to conduct business in an ethical and socially 
- Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;           responsible manner; 
 
- Regulatory changes relating to financial derivatives;      - Failure to manage multiple complex product programmes 
                                                             effectively; 
- The Group's products, services and pricing do not remain 
competitive;                                                 - Breach of IT security; 
 
- Non-compliance with applicable legislation and             - Failure to execute the programme to modernise the IT 
regulations;                                                 infrastructure; and 
 
                                                             - Loss or unintended disclosure of Intellectual Property. 
Going concern 
 
After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation 
that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for 
the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going 
concern basis in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The 
financial risk management objectives and policies of the Group and its 
exposure to price, credit, liquidity and cash flow risks are considered in the 
Finance Director's review on pages 14 to 17 and in Additional financial 
information on pages 36 and 37 of the Annual report 2011. 
 
Payments to shareholders 
 
The Company makes payments to shareholders by allotting 
non-cumulative redeemable preference shares of 0.1 pence each (C Shares). 
Shareholders can opt to redeem the C Shares for a cash payment, or reinvest 
the cash proceeds by purchasing additional ordinary shares via the C Share 
Reinvestment Plan (CRIP), which is operated by our Registrar, Computershare 
Investor Services PLC. On January 2, 2013, 76 C Shares, with a total nominal 
value of 7.6 pence, will be allotted for each ordinary share to those 
shareholders on the register on October 26, 2012. The final day of trading 
with entitlement to C Shares is October 23, 2012. Shareholders wishing to 
redeem their C Shares, or participate in the CRIP, must lodge instructions 
with our Registrar to arrive no later than 5.00 pm on December 3, 2012. The 
payment of C Shares redemption monies will be made on January 4, 2013. 
 
Statement of directors' responsibilities 
 
The directors confirm that, to the best of their knowledge: 
 
- the condensed consolidated half-year financial statements have 
been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted 
by the EU; 
 
- the interim management report includes a fair review of the 
information required by: 
 
(a) DTR 4.2.7R of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules, being an 
indication of important events that have occurred during the first six months 
of the financial year and their impact on the condensed consolidated half-year 
financial statements; and a description of the principal risks and 
uncertainties for the remaining six months of the year; and 
 
(b) DTR 4.2.8R of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules, being related party 
transactions that have taken place in the first six months of the current 
financial year and that have materially affected the financial position or 
performance of the entity during that period; and any changes in the related 
party transactions described in the last Annual report that could do so.

Independent review report to Rolls-Royce Holdings plc 
 
Introduction 
 
We have been engaged by the company to review the condensed set of 
financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months 
ended June 30, 2012 which comprises the condensed consolidated income 
statement, the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the 
condensed consolidated balance sheet, the condensed consolidated cash flow 
statement, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the 
related explanatory notes. We have read the other information contained in the 
half-yearly financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent 
misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the 
condensed set of financial statements. 
 
This report is made solely to the company in accordance with the 
terms of our engagement to assist the company in meeting the requirements of 
the Disclosure and Transparency Rules ("the DTR") of the UK's Financial 
Services Authority ("the UK FSA"). Our review has been undertaken so that we 
might state to the company those matters we are required to state to it in 
this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, 
we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company for 
our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have reached. 
 
Directors' responsibilities 
 
The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has 
been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing 
the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the DTR of the UK FSA. 
 
As disclosed in note 1, the annual financial statements of the 
group are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU. The 
condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial 
report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting 
as adopted by the EU. 
 
Our responsibility 
 
Our responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on the 
condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report 
based on our review. 
 
Scope of review 
 
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard 
on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 Review of Interim Financial 
Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity issued by the 
Auditing Practices Board for use in the UK. A review of interim financial 
information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for 
financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review 
procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in 
accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and 
consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware 
of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, 
we do not express an audit opinion. 
 
Conclusion 
 
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes 
us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the 
half-yearly financial report for the six months ended June 30, 2012 is not 
prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 as adopted by 
the EU and the DTR of the UK FSA.
