Segment Results

Total Aircraft Controls sales in the quarter were $300 million, up 6% year over year. Commercial aircraft revenues increased 2%, to $156 million. Strong aftermarket sales, up 22% to $37 million, offset lower OEM sales. Boeing OEM sales of $60 million were off 3%. Sales of OEM products to Airbus were down 7%, to $37 million, driven by softer A350 program sales.

Military aircraft sales of $144 million were 11% higher than a year ago. Military OEM sales increased 10% on very strong F-35 sales. Military aftermarket sales of $48 million were 12% higher due to an increase in
F-18 and V-22 spares activity.

Space and Defense segment sales were $150 million, up 17% year over year. Space sales were 21% higher, the result of very strong avionics product sales on new DoD platforms and launch vehicle program activity at NASA. Defense sales were up 15% on increased demand for legacy pan and tilt products. Security products for UAV tracking also contributed, the result of a small acquisition completed early in the quarter.

Industrial Systems segment sales in the quarter were $243 million, 13% higher than a year ago. Excluding currency effects and acquisitions, organic sales increased 5%. Industrial automation sales were up a healthy 16%, to $115 million, helped by the recent VUES Brno acquisition in the Czech Republic. Energy sales were up 29% on sales of exploration and power generation products. Medical market sales were 19% higher. Sales for simulation and test products were down 20% as last year’s third quarter was unusually strong.
