Based on anticipated aircraft production rates and divestitures completed in fiscal 2018, the company continues anticipating its revenues for fiscal 2019 in the range of $3.3-$3.4 billion. It still expects revenue growth in fiscal 2019 to be driven by development programs enter production, and sales from continuing programs and new wins offset sunsetting programs.<br /><br />On the bottom-line front as well, the company continues expecting adjusted earnings per share in the $1.50-$2.10 band.</p>
