Gulfstream Gains Momentum as Sales and Deliveries Rise
Quarterly business jet sales rose 56%, while deliveries increased 39%.
Gulfstream business jet sales and deliveries rose 56% and 39%, respectively, said Phebe Novakovic, chairman and CEO of parent company General Dynamics. “Gulfstream demonstrated strong order momentum this quarter,” she said, citing a book-to-bill ratio of 1.3:1, which increased the aerospace backlog to $20.6 billion, nearly $1 billion more than in the previous quarter.
Revenue at the company’s aerospace division, which includes Gulfstream and aviation services provider Jet Aviation, rose 30.3% year over year in the third quarter to $3.234 billion, while earnings increased 41% to $430 million. For the first nine months, the figures were $9.322 billion, up 24.2% year over year, and $1.265 billion, up 43.9%, respectively. According to Novakovic, the growth was driven by increased aircraft deliveries, higher volumes of special-mission orders, and aircraft service volumes.
Over the three-month period, Gulfstream delivered 39 aircraft—33 large-cabin jets and 6 super-midsize G280s—more than a year earlier. Novakovic said deliveries in the latest quarter included 13 G700s and three G800s. In the first nine months, the Savannah, Georgia-based company delivered 113 aircraft—95 large-cabin jets and 18 G280s—up 27% from the previous year. She said Gulfstream has delivered a total of 72 G700s to date.
According to Novakovic, Gulfstream’s “notable growth” is attributable to “economic strength, sustained market demand and demand for jets, as well as a number of new models.” She also emphasized that supply chain problems have now largely receded.
