Since, its inception in 1964, SP Guide Publications has consistently demonstrated commitment to high-quality journalism in the aerospace and defence sectors, earning a well-deserved reputation as Asia's largest media house in this domain.

L-3 announces second quarter results

August 16-31, 2011

L-3 Communications Holdings has reported a 16 per cent increase in diluted earnings per share (diluted EPS) to $2.26 for the quarter ended July 1, 2011, compared with $1.95 for the same period in 2010. The net sales of $3.8 billion decreased by approximately five per cent compared to the 2010 second quarter.

The decline in sales was driven primarily by the loss of the Special Operations Forces support activity (SOFSA) and Afghanistan Ministry of Defence (MoD) support contracts in 2010, continued lower pass-through volume related to the US Army’s systems and software engineering and sustainment services (SSES) change in contract vehicles that occurred in 2009, and a delay in the 2011 order for the joint cargo aircraft (JCA).
