Fiscal Year 2025
-

-
Q1 2025 revenue grew 5% to $3.3B, led by Bell's 35% increase, while adjusted EPS rose to $1.28. Guidance for full-year EPS and cash flow was reaffirmed, with strong aviation and defense demand offsetting industrial softness.
Fiscal Year 2024
-
Q4 2024 saw lower revenue and profit due to an Aviation strike and Industrial softness, but strong order activity drove backlog to $17.9 billion. 2025 guidance projects 7% revenue growth, higher EPS, and improved cash flow, with Aviation and Bell expected to lead gains.
-
Q3 revenue rose to $3.4B, but adjusted EPS fell to $1.40 due to a five-week aviation strike, which also led to a lowered 2024 outlook. Bell saw strong growth from the FLRAA program, while industrial and auto markets remained soft. Share repurchases totaled $215M in Q3.
-
Aviation backlog is strong with robust demand, though supply chain and labor issues constrain production. Bell's FLRAA program advances, but margin pressure is expected as cost-plus engineering replaces higher-margin manufacturing. Systems and Industrial segments face headwinds but anticipate growth from new programs and technology investments.
-
Revenues and profits grew year-over-year, led by strong aviation and defense demand, while industrial faced softness. Aviation margins remained robust, with solid backlog and continued share repurchases. Supply chain and consumer market challenges persist.
