Ducommun reports Q2 adjusted EPS 83c, consensus 60c

Reports Q2 revenue $197.0M, consensus $194.57M. “Q2 was another outstanding quarter for DCO as we grew our topline both year-over-year and sequentially, led by strength in both of our Commercial Aerospace and Military segments along with strong quarterly gross margins and Adjusted EBITDA margins,” said CEO Stephen Oswald. “Net revenue was a quarterly record $197.0M, up over 5% compared to Q2 2023, with strong demand for business jets, select Airbus platforms, required buffer stock build for the Monrovia facility closure along with maintaining level load production rates on other commercial aerospace platforms despite the temporary slowdown in demand from aircraft OEMs. The other big news is Ducommun delivered a new quarterly record for gross margin, expanding 460 bps year-over-year from 21.4% to 26.0%. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA margins also were very strong as we now gain increased momentum on our Vision 2027 strategy and financial goals….I am proud of the Ducommun team for being laser focused on delivering high quality products to our customers, on-time while maintaining a strong position to meet the anticipated higher demand for Commercial Aerospace products later this year and in 2025. It also shows in our numerous A&D OEM customer awards over the last 18 months recognizing our performance.”
