MOOG REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
East Aurora, NY - Moog Inc. (NYSE: MOG.A and MOG.B) today announced first quarter sales of $631 million, down 2% from a year ago, the result of negative foreign currency effects. Net earnings of $35 million increased by 10% and earnings per share of $.86 were 23% higher, in part the result of the Company’s on-going share repurchase program.
Aircraft segment sales, at $266 million, were unchanged from last year. Commercial aircraft sales increased 10% on strong OEM production which included $62 million in sales to Boeing and $23 million in sales to Airbus. Commercial aircraft aftermarket sales of $30 million were slightly higher than a year ago.
Military aircraft sales were down 8% to $126 million. OEM sales were down 14% as production on fighter aircraft programs slowed and activity on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter was lower. Military aftermarket sales were nominally higher, at $51 million.
Space and Defense sales of $100 million were unchanged from a year ago. Defense sales were 6% higher and space market sales were down 4%, the result of a decrease in demand for satellite avionics products.
Industrial Systems sales of $133 million were 7% lower than last year, mostly driven by the stronger U.S. dollar. Industrial automation products were down 2%, while sales of simulation and test systems were down 16%. Energy products were down 10% in total, with wind energy controls unchanged from a year ago.
Components Group sales, at $100 million, were 3% lower than a year ago. Industrial automation sales, at $24 million, were 7% higher. Sales into aerospace and defense markets were mostly unchanged. Medical components sales were down $2 million, or 10%. Sales of energy market products were down $2 million from the elevated levels of last year.
Medical Devices segment sales of $31 million were down 3% with lower sales of pumps and administration sets mostly offset by an increase in sales of OEM sensors.
Twelve month consolidated backlog was $1.4 billion, unchanged from a year ago.
Projections for fiscal 2015 were also updated. The company is reducing its sales forecast for the year by $95 million which will result in sales of $2.57 billion, net earnings of $157 million and earnings per share of $3.85. This updated guidance does not include the impact of additional share repurchases. The completion of the Company’s previously authorized 9 million share repurchase program during FY’15 would result in earnings per share guidance of $3.95.
"Overall Q1 was a mixed quarter for the company,” said John Scannell, Chairman and CEO. “On a positive note, earnings came in slightly ahead of our forecast and cash was very strong. However, during the quarter we started to feel the impact of three macroeconomic headwinds, the strengthening of the U.S. dollar, the industrial malaise outside the U.S. and the sharp and sustained drop in the price of oil. As a result, we are introducing some caution in our forecast and revising our outlook for the remainder of fiscal '15 downward. Despite these challenges, we are still forecasting fiscal ‘15 to be another year of strong cash flow and record earnings per share."
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. John Scannell and Don Fishback, CFO, will host the call. Listeners can access the call live or in replay mode at www.moog.com/investors/communications.

Such forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to several factors, risks and uncertainties, the impact or occurrence of which could cause actual results to differ materially from the expected results described in the forward-looking statements. These important factors, risks and uncertainties include:

• | we operate in highly competitive markets with competitors who may have greater resources than we possess; |
• | we depend heavily on government contracts that may not be fully funded or may be terminated, and the failure to receive funding or the termination of one or more of these contracts could reduce our sales and increase our costs; |
• | we make estimates in accounting for long-term contracts, and changes in these estimates may have significant impacts on our earnings; |
• | we enter into fixed-price contracts, which could subject us to losses if we have cost overruns; |
• | we may not realize the full amounts reflected in our backlog as revenue, which could adversely affect our future revenue and growth prospects; |
• | if our subcontractors or suppliers fail to perform their contractual obligations, our prime contract performance and our ability to obtain future business could be materially and adversely impacted; |
• | contracting on government programs is subject to significant regulation, including rules related to bidding, billing and accounting kickbacks and false claims, and any non-compliance could subject us to fines and penalties or possible debarment; |
• | the loss of The Boeing Company as a customer or a significant reduction in sales to The Boeing Company could adversely impact our operating results; |
• | our new product research and development efforts may not be successful which could reduce our sales and earnings; |
• | our inability to adequately enforce and protect our intellectual property or defend against assertions of infringement could prevent or restrict our ability to compete; |
• | our business operations may be adversely affected by information systems interruptions, intrusions or new software implementations; |
• | our indebtedness and restrictive covenants under our credit facilities could limit our operational and financial flexibility; |
• | significant changes in discount rates, rates of return on pension assets, mortality tables and other factors could adversely affect our earnings and equity and increase our pension funding requirements; |
• | a write-off of all or part of our goodwill or other intangible assets could adversely affect our operating results and net worth; |
• | our sales and earnings may be affected if we cannot identify, acquire or integrate strategic acquisitions, or if we engage in divesting activities; |
• | our operations in foreign countries expose us to political and currency risks and adverse changes in local legal and regulatory environments; |
• | unforeseen exposure to additional income tax liabilities may affect our operating results; |
• | government regulations could limit our ability to sell our products outside the United States and otherwise adversely affect our business; |
• | new governmental regulations and customer demands related to conflict minerals may adversely impact our operating results; |
• | the failure or misuse of our products may damage our reputation, necessitate a product recall or result in claims against us that exceed our insurance coverage, thereby requiring us to pay significant damages; |
• | future terror attacks, war, natural disasters or other catastrophic events beyond our control could negatively impact our business; |
• | our operations are subject to environmental laws, and complying with those laws may cause us to incur significant costs; and |
• | we are involved in various legal proceedings, the outcome of which may be unfavorable to us. |
These factors are not exhaustive. New factors, risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time that may affect the forward-looking statements made herein.
