Read MoreHide Full Article

The bottom line, however, declined 12.7% from the prior-year quarter’s earnings of $2.84 per share. The year-over-year downside can be attributed to decreasing sales figures.

Total sales in the third quarter amounted to $749 million, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $752.5 million by 0.5%. The top line also declined 6.6% from $802.2 million reported a year ago.

The segment’s operating income declined 2.5% year over year to $50.7 million.

Aerospace and Defense Electronics: At this segment, sales of $144.8 million dropped 18.2% from the prior-year quarter due to reduced sales of aerospace electronics and defense and space electronics.
