AeroVironment Delivers Strong Q1 Earnings Results, But Stock Slides On Soft Guidance

Author: Adam Eckert | September 04, 2024 04:36pm

AeroVironment Inc (NASDAQ:AVAV) reported financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 after the bell on Wednesday. Here’s a rundown of the report.

Q1 Earnings: AeroVironment reported first-quarter revenue of $189.48 million, beating the consensus estimate of $184.71 million, according to Benzinga Pro. The company reported adjusted earnings of 89 cents per share, beating analyst estimates of 66 cents per share.

First-quarter revenue was up 24% year-over-year, reflecting higher product sales of $40 million, partially offset by a decrease in service revenue of $2.9 million. Income from operations was $23.1 million in the quarter.

The company said it had a funded backlog of $372.9 million as of July 27. AeroVironment noted that its backlog does not include $128 million of initial funding under the recently announced contract with the U.S. Army’s Directed Requirement for Lethal Unmanned Systems.

“Our Loitering Munition Systems segment continues to be the highest growth driver for the company posting first-quarter revenue, 68% higher than the same quarter last year,” said Wahid Nawabi, chairman, president and CEO of AeroVironment.

“With a growing pipeline and solid operating performance, AeroVironment is working toward achieving another record fiscal year, and we are confident that our success will carry forward into future years.”
