Woodward, Inc. is a global leader in the design, manufacture, and service of energy conversion and control solutions for the aerospace and industrial equipment markets, headquartered in Fort Collins, Colorado.
In its third quarter fiscal year 2025 report, Woodward announced strong financial results with an increase in net sales and earnings, leading to a raised guidance for sales and earnings for the full year. The company attributed its performance to robust demand across its markets and disciplined execution by its teams.
Key financial highlights include an 8% increase in net sales to $915 million and a 6% rise in net earnings to $108 million for the third quarter. The Aerospace segment experienced substantial growth, particularly in defense OEM and commercial aftermarket sales, while the Industrial segment faced challenges due to lower sales in China. Despite these challenges, the company raised its full-year sales guidance to between $3.45 billion and $3.525 billion.
Woodward’s management remains optimistic about the future, focusing on growth, operational excellence, and innovation to deliver sustained long-term shareholder value. However, they have adjusted their free cash flow guidance downward due to the dynamic supply chain and production environment.
Looking ahead, Woodward is committed to leveraging its strong market position and strategic investments to continue its growth trajectory, despite the challenges posed by the global economic environment.
