EAST AURORA, N.Y., July 28, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Moog Inc. (NYSE:MOG.A) (NYSE:MOG.B) announced today financial results for the quarter ended July 1, 2017.
Third Quarter Highlights
- Diluted earnings per share of $1.11, up 11% from a year ago;
- Sales of $626 million, up 2% from a year ago;
- Operating margins of 10.2%, down from a comparatively high Q3 last year and in line with expectations;
- Unusually low tax rate, at 17%;
- Strong cash flow from operating activities;
- Completed the sale of European space businesses.
Segment Results
Total Aircraft Controls sales in the quarter were $283 million, up 4% year over year. Commercial aircraft revenues increased 10%, to $153 million. Sales of OEM products to Airbus increased 41%, to $40 million, driven by an increase in A350 program sales. Boeing OEM sales were off 6%, at $62 million. Commercial aftermarket sales increased $4 million, to $31 million.
Military aircraft sales of $130 million were down 3%. Military aftermarket sales of $43 million were down 14%, mostly due to the timing of F-35 depot activity. Military OEM sales were 3% higher on an increase in F-35 sales.
Space and Defense segment sales were $95 million, up 2% year over year. Defense sales were up 7% on increased demand for U.S. ground vehicle and naval systems, which offset lower sales of missile systems. Space sales were 3% lower, the result of the European space business divested in Q1 fiscal ‘17.
Industrial Systems segment sales in the quarter were $122 million, down 6% from a year ago but up 6% from Q2. About one-third of the decline was due to weaker foreign currencies relative to the U.S. Dollar. Energy sales were off 20% and industrial automation sales were off 13%. Simulation and test sales were very strong, up 28%.
Components segment sales in the quarter were $127 million, 7% higher year over year. Aerospace and defense sales were flat while industrial sales for specialty markets were 26% higher, benefitting from the recent Rotary Transfer Systems acquisition which closed in early April. Medical market sales of $47 million were slightly higher as increased sales of pumps and sensors offset lower CT scan slip ring sales.
Consolidated 12-month backlog was $1.2 billion.
Fiscal 2017 Outlook
- Forecast sales raised $10 million from last quarter’s forecast, to $2.46 billion, up 2% over last year;
- Forecast earnings per share raised $0.25 to $3.75, plus or minus $0.10;
- Forecast full year operating margins of 10.1%, a slight increase from last quarter’s forecast;
- Another year of solid cash flow from operations.
“Q3 was another good quarter,” said John Scannell, Chairman and CEO. “With nine months behind us, FY17 is shaping up nicely. Today we’re pleased to be raising our full-year guidance by $0.25 per share to reflect a stronger operational performance and a reduced tax rate.”
In conjunction with today’s release, Moog will host a conference call beginning at 10:00 a.m. ET, which will be broadcast live over the Internet.
