Ducommun reports Q1 adjusted EPS 70c, consensus 57c

Reports Q1 revenue $190.8M, consensus $189.22M. “Q1 was an outstanding quarter and a great start to the year for Ducommun, as we grew our topline year-over-year, led by continued strength in Commercial Aerospace at both Boeing and Airbus while also delivering our strongest quarterly gross margin ever,” said Stephen Oswald, chairman, president and chief executive officer. “We achieved a new first quarter revenue record of $190.8 million up 5% over Q1 2023, with solid demand for both narrow-body and wide-body aircraft. The Company’s gross margin was another real highlight, expanding 430 bps year-over-year from 20.3% to 24.6% as we saw improved operating performance, continued growth from our higher margin engineered products businesses along with some initial benefits from our on-going restructuring program.”
