Rohr, Inc. released the following press release on April 27, 1995, with respect
to sales for its 1996 fiscal year which will end July 31, 1996:
ROHR ANNOUNCES REDUCTION IN SALES FOR FY 96
Chula Vista, Calif., April 27, 1995 -- Today, Rohr (NYSE: RHR) announced
that sales for the fiscal year which will end July 31, 1996, fifteen months from
now, are anticipated to be down approximately eight percent from levels expected
for the current fiscal year which will end July 31, 1995. The anticipated
reduction in sales reflects the conclusion of certain space and military
programs and continuing softness in commercial aircraft orders. This softness
was most recently evidenced by announced reduction of 1996 production rates by
aircraft manufacturers. In excess of 90 percent of Rohr's current firm order
backlog is related to large commercial transport aircraft.
Robert Rau, Rohr's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We have
already taken several steps and are in the process of implementing additional
actions necessary to react to the reduced level of sales for fiscal 1996. We
have already successfully downsized the Company in face of substantial sales
decreases in the last three and a half years. I am confident that we will be
able to accommodate this latest impact of the industry downcycle. The challenge
will be to maintain satisfactory levels of performance while preserving our
technical leadership and developing the next generation of nacelles for several
potential aircraft model extensions and future new aircraft. I believe this
management team can do that."
Rohr designs, integrates, manufactures, sells and supports aircraft engine
nacelle systems and components for large commercial and military aircraft. Rohr
reported total revenues of $918 million for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1994.
Rohr headquartered in Chula Vista, Calif., has facilities in the United States
and Europe.
