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 latest earnings report, Woodward announced financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, showing performance in line with expectations and reaffirming its full-year guidance. The company highlighted strong demand in its aerospace segment and robust growth in its industrial business.
Key financial metrics for the quarter included net sales of $884 million, a 6% increase from the previous year, and net earnings of $109 million, up 12%. The aerospace segment saw a 13% revenue increase, driven by strong demand in smart defense and commercial aftermarket activities, while the industrial segment faced challenges with a 5% revenue decline due to lower China on-highway volumes.
Despite a decrease in cash from operations and free cash flow, Woodward remains confident in its ability to manage the current operating environment. The company has raised the low end of its sales and earnings guidance for the fiscal year, reflecting its strong year-to-date performance.
Looking ahead, Woodward’s management remains optimistic about achieving sustainable growth and enhancing shareholder value, with a focus on managing tariffs and navigating the current economic landscape.
