Astronics Corporation (Nasdaq: ATRO), a leading provider of advanced technologies for global aerospace, defense and other mission critical industries, announced its fourth quarter 2024 preliminary unaudited revenue was approximately $208 million to $210 million which was the upper end of the Company’s guidance range. At the midpoint of this announced range, preliminary revenue was up 7.0% over the prior-year period and up 2.6% over the trailing third quarter. Full year preliminary unaudited revenue for 2024 was approximately $796 million, up 15.5% over the prior year.

Preliminary bookings in the quarter were $199 million, bringing orders for the full year to approximately $811 million.

The Company also provided preliminary revenue expectations for 2025 of $820 million to $860 million representing an increase of approximately 6% over 2024 at the mid-point of the range.

Peter J. Gundermann, Chairman, President and CEO, commented, “We ended the year on a strong note despite sluggish OEM production rates and the Boeing strike. We have achieved average annual revenue growth of over 20% the last three years and have finally returned to pre-Covid revenue levels. We expect 2025 will be another year of solid growth, though more modest, which will allow us to focus on expanding margins through the year and strengthening cash flow.”

The preliminary unaudited revenue result for the fourth quarter and full year 2024 presented herein are based on information available to management as of the date of this release. These preliminary unaudited results are subject to changes, that may be material, in connection with completion of the Company’s standard year-end closing procedures and the completion of our independent registered public accounting firm’s year-end audit.
