MOOG REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

East Aurora, NY -- Moog Inc. (NYSE: MOG.A and MOG.B) announced today financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2016.

First Quarter Highlights


•	Diluted earnings per share of $0.84, up 18% from a year ago;


•	Sales of $590 million, up 4% from a year ago;


•	Progress in selling four small European space businesses resulting in a net $0.07 per share loss on the divestitures (including $0.18 per share tax benefit);


•	Operating margins (excluding the $9 million pretax loss from selling the European space businesses) were 10.4%, up from 9.1% a year ago;


•	Strong cash flow from operating activities.

Segment Results

Total Aircraft Controls sales in the quarter were $268 million, up 6% year over year. Military aircraft sales of $128 million were 6% higher. F-35 Joint Strike Fighter sales were up 26%, to $27 million. Other OEM sales were up 8%, to $53 million. Military aftermarket sales were $48 million, down slightly on lower B-2 spares and C-5 modernization activity.

Commercial aircraft revenues increased 5%, to $141 million. Sales of OEM products to Airbus increased 40%, to $35 million, including a 72% increase in A350 program sales. Boeing OEM sales were flat at $61 million. Commercial aftermarket sales were off marginally, at $27 million, due to lower initial provisioning of 787 and A350 spares.

Space and Defense segment sales were $93 million, up 11% year over year. Space sales were 13% higher, attributed to strong space avionics and satellite engine sales. Defense sales were up 10% on increased demand for ground vehicle, missile and naval products.

Industrial Systems segment sales in the quarter were $112 million, down 10%. Energy sales were off 6% and industrial automation sales were off 9%. Simulation and test sales were down 16% from last year’s strong first quarter.

Components segment sales in the quarter were $116 million, up 10% from a year ago, with sales increases seen in each of the three major markets. Aerospace and defense sales of $39 million were 11% higher largely attributed to sales for Northrop Grumman’s Guardian program. Medical market sales of $48 million were up 11% on increased sales of pumps and associated products. Industrial product sales for specialty markets were up 6%.

Consolidated year-end 12-month backlog was $1.2 billion.

Fiscal 2017 Outlook


•	Forecast sales of $2.42 billion, up 1% over last year, down $20 million from last quarter’s forecast;


•	Forecast earnings per share of $3.50, plus or minus $0.20, unchanged from last quarter’s forecast;


•	Forecast full year operating margins of 10.0%, down slightly from last quarter’s forecast due to loss on divestitures;


•	Another year of solid cash flow from operations.

“Earnings per share before specials of $0.91 were above our guidance from 90 days ago,” said John Scannell, Chairman and CEO. “It was a good start to the year and it puts us on track for our full year guidance. Most of our businesses have stabilized since this time last year and we are seeing positive results from restructuring and our portfolio reviews of the past few years.”
