RUAG achieves record sales and order intake.

The Group continues to achieve robust growth. However, operational challenges in individual areas are reducing income. The strong rise in order intake shows that RUAG is well-prepared for the upcoming unbundling.

Against record sales of CHF 1,998 million (+2.2%) and new orders at a record CHF 2,221 million (+13.3%), EBIT stands at CHF 106 million (-10.8 %) and profitability at 5.3% (down from the previous year’s 6.1%).

Four out of the five divisions – Aerostructures, Ammotec, Defence and Space – contributed to the growth in sales. Only the Aviation division registered a slight decline. The civilian segment once again accounted for 56 % of sales.
