Yahoo Finance TransDigm's (TDG) Q1 Earnings Miss Estimates, Sales Down Y/Y
TransDigm Group Incorporated TDG reported first-quarter fiscal 2021 adjusted earnings of $1.97 per share, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.09 by 5.7%. Moreover, the bottom line plunged 59.4% from the prior-year quarter’s $4.93. The decline primarily reflects a decrease in net sales and higher interest expenses during the quarter.
Barring one-time items, the company reported GAAP losses of 42 cents per share against GAAP earnings of 83 cents in the prior-year quarter. The year-over-year bottom-line decline can be attributed to dividend equivalent payments made during the quarter, pursuant to the company's employee stock option program.
Sales
Net sales amounted to $1,108 million, reflecting a year-over-year decline of 24.4% from the prior-year quarter’s sales of $1,465 million. The top line also missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,117 million by 0.8%. In the current quarter, all sales represent organic sales.
Operating Results
The company reported a net income of $50 million from continuing operations in the quarter compared with a net income of $305 million in the comparable quarter a year ago.
Selling and administrative expenses in the quarter amounted to $197 million compared with $201 million in the prior-year quarter.
