MOOG REPORTS EARNINGS PER SHARE UP 55%

Moog Inc. (NYSE: MOG.A and MOG.B) today announced first quarter sales of $554 million, up 12% from a year ago. Net earnings were $33.4 million and earnings per share were $.73, up 55% from last year’s first quarter.

Aircraft segment sales of $196 million were also up 12% from last year. Most of the increase was in commercial aircraft, with revenues of $74 million, a 30% increase. OEM production revenues were up for both Airbus and Boeing, the result of a ramp up in 787 hardware deliveries. Commercial aircraft aftermarket revenues, at $26 million, were up 42%.

Military aircraft sales were up 5%, a combination of strong sales on the V-22 tiltrotor and increased aftermarket revenues. Military aftermarket sales of $47 million were up 23%. Sales of $18 million on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter were down slightly as the program transitions from development to production.

Space and Defense sales at $96 million were up 38% from a year ago. Sales of Driver’s Vision Enhancer systems, at $15 million, provided much of the increase. Revenue was also strong in tactical missiles and in our newer security and surveillance product lines.

Industrial Systems sales of $144 million were up 5% from a year ago. Sales of $113 million in our legacy products, which include capital equipment, power generation and simulation, were up 24% in the quarter. Sales in these product lines continue to recover from the low levels experienced in fiscal 2009.

Sales in the wind energy market were fairly strong in Europe, but relatively soft in China. Chinese wind turbine manufacturers are working off inventory acquired in the last quarter of 2010.
 
 
 

 

Components Group sales of $86 million were up 2% in the quarter. Sales increases of components used in commercial aircraft, in the marine industry, in medical applications and industrial automation are offsetting a decline in military aircraft revenue and defense controls. As a result of the conflicts in the Mideast, the Components Group had enjoyed robust sales in military vehicles, particularly the Bradley Fighting Vehicle and the Abrams tank and in de-icing systems for the Blackhawk helicopter. Activity in these programs is winding down.

Medical Devices sales were up 11% to $33 million. Increased sales in administration sets, sensors and surgical handpieces offset a slight decline in sales of infusion pumps.

Twelve month consolidated backlog on January 1, 2011 was $1.19 billion, an increase of 8% from a year ago.

The Company has updated its guidance for fiscal 2011. Sales are now projected at $2.25 billion, net earnings at $126.6 million and earnings per share of $2.75, a 17% increase over the previous year.

“Our Company is off to a flying start in fiscal 2011,” said R.T. Brady, Chairman and CEO. “Our Space and Defense segment led the way with an extraordinary quarter and we had a solid performance overall. We’re optimistic that this momentum will carry us through the rest of the year to record sales, record earnings and a 17% increase in earnings per share.”
