“We delivered a solid quarter, driven by robust end-market demand and the dedicated efforts of all our members,” Woodward CEO Chip Blankenship said in a prepared statement. “In Aerospace, increased utilization drove strong aftermarket demand in the third quarter. Total Industrial growth moderated as expected. Industrial benefited from increased sales in power generation as well as transportation despite flat China on-highway shipments year-over-year. In this dynamic market, we remain focused on growth, operational excellence, and innovation, which continue to position Woodward to deliver sustained long-term shareholder value.”
Woodward narrowed its previous full-year 2024 sales guidance range from $3.25 billion to $3.35 billion to a range of $3.25 billion to $3.3 billion.
