Moog Reports Fourth Quarter and Year End Results
/EINPresswire.com/ -- EAST AURORA, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 11/06/15 -- Moog Inc. (NYSE: MOG.A) (NYSE: MOG.B) announced today fourth quarter sales of $623 million, down 7%. Full year 2015 sales were $2.53 billion, down 5%. More than half of these decreases were due to foreign currency effects.
Net earnings in the quarter were $28 million and earnings per share were $.75 compared with the prior year's fourth quarter EPS of $.93, and compared with the Company's forecast of $.91. The current quarter's results included $.13 of incremental restructuring and impairment costs and $.04 of higher tax expense than forecasted, resulting in operating results coming in very close to the Company's forecast. Net earnings for the year were $132 million, down 17%. Earnings per share of $3.35 were $.17 lower than last year.
Cash flow from operating activities was very strong in the quarter and for the year, continuing the strong pattern of recent years.
Aircraft segment sales in the quarter were $275 million, down 3% from a year ago. Commercial aircraft revenues were off 5%, to $130 million, with slower business jet and commercial aftermarket sales offset by increasing Airbus sales. Military aircraft sales were unchanged at $145 million, with higher OEM sales offsetting lower aftermarket sales.
For the year, Aircraft segment sales were $1.1 billion, 3% lower year over year. Commercial aircraft sales of $540 million were down 1%. Commercial aftermarket sales of $118 million were off 9%, mostly due to lower demand for initial provisioning of 787 spares. Airbus sales were 20% higher on the A350 production ramp up.
Military aircraft sales in the year were down 4% on lower foreign military OEM sales and slowing development work on the KC-46 tanker program. Military aftermarket sales of $210 million were off 6%, mainly due to the wind down of the C-5 Super Galaxy modernization program.
Space and Defense segment sales in the quarter were $93 million, down 4% from a year ago. Space sales were off 16% as work on NASA programs slowed. Defense sales were 9% higher, mostly on sales increases for military vehicles.
Space and Defense segment sales for the year were $381 million, down 3%. Space sales were $193 million, down 12%, as work on the Space Launch System and Soft Capture programs slowed. Defense sales were 8% higher, at $189 million, on strong sales of missile controls, ground vehicle systems and naval programs.
Industrial Systems segment sales in the quarter were $128 million, down 13%. Sales for the year were $522 million, 12% lower. Most of the decline in the quarter and the year were tied to foreign currency effects. Excluding currency effects, full year industrial automation sales were slightly higher and sales for simulation and test were about even. Energy sales, excluding foreign currency effects, were down 10% on lower sales of controls for power generating equipment.
Components segment sales in the quarter were $102 million, down 13% on weaker energy sales. Sales for the year were $437 million, down 3%. Non-aerospace and defense sales were down 6%, as products sold into energy markets were down 26% year over year. Aerospace and defense sales were up 2% on increases in military aircraft activity and defense controls sales.
The medical OEM sensor and handpiece business, previously part of the Medical Devices segment, has been transferred to the Components segment. All numbers have been restated and are comparable. Fiscal 2015 sales for this product line were $25 million.
Medical Devices sales in the quarter were $24 million, down 5%, on weaker IV sales. Medical Devices segment sales for the year were $99 million, a 3% increase. IV product sales, including sales of administration sets, were $41 million, up 16%. Sales of enteral pumps and administration sets were $55 million, up 3%.
Year-end 12-month backlog was $1.3 billion.
The Company affirmed its EPS projection for fiscal 2016 at $4.00.
"Fiscal '15 was a challenging year for our company across multiple fronts," said John Scannell, Chairman and CEO. "In the face of these challenges, we delivered solid earnings and record cash flow. We are projecting a stronger fiscal '16 with earnings per share of $4.00, up 19% on sales growth of about 2%."
