To Our Shareholders, Employees and Friends,

I’d like to open my annual letter, as I do each year, by paying tribute to all our Moog employees around the globe for their dedication and 
commitment. We are a company with outstanding products and technologies, but, in the end, it is our people that make us a success.  

2017 in Review

2017 was a good year for our company. Sales were up 4%, earnings per share were up 12% and we had a fifth consecutive year of 
strong cash flow. We marked another set of milestones on our twenty-year journey to become the world leader in flight control systems. 
During our fiscal year we watched the first flights of the Airbus A350-1000, the Embraer E195-E2, the Boeing 787-10 and the Comac 
C919. In September, the Boeing 787 celebrated its one millionth flight – all safely completed with Moog flight controls.  

We enjoyed organic growth in most of our businesses in 2017. Our commercial aircraft business was up nicely, our defense businesses 
improved and our oil-related businesses stabilized. We experienced some challenges in our industrial businesses outside the U.S., but, 
as the year closed, we started to see the order book firm in these markets.   

Over the course of the year, we continued to shape our portfolio for the future, divesting our European Space facilities and selling off a non-strategic product line we acquired as 
part of our additive manufacturing acquisition. Conversely, we acquired Rotary Transfer Systems, an investment that strengthens our industrial slip ring business in Europe.   

Operating Segment Review

2017 was a strong year for our aircraft business. Sales were up 6% with increases in both our military and commercial markets. Growth continues to be fueled by the volume 
ramp on our major programs, the Lockheed Martin F-35 and the Airbus A350.  

Space and Defense sales were up 8% from last year. Defense sales were up sharply as a result of record shipments of components for military vehicles. Space sales were 
up organically on strong demand for spacecraft avionics.  

Industrial sales were 7% lower than last year. Sales into our energy markets were down due to lower sales of wind pitch control systems while industrial automation sales 
were down across the broad range of markets we serve. Test & simulation sales were up marginally over last year.  

Components sales were up 7% from last year. About a third of the increase was due to the acquisition of Rotary Transfer Systems. The rest of the increase was shared across 
many of the markets we serve, with particularly strong sales of medical pumps and sets.  

2018 Outlook

Our guidance for 2018 builds on a strong 2017. We are optimistic that we’ll see organic growth in each of our major markets and a commensurate growth in earnings per 
share. As we head into this new fiscal year, we have reorganized our Components segment into its two major markets – Aerospace and Defense (A&D) and industrial –  
and have aligned these markets within the segments that serve similar customers and applications. We are integrating the A&D products into our Space and Defense 
segment and the industrial products into our Industrial Systems segment. There is no change to our Aircraft Controls segment. The 2018 segment comparisons discussed 
below capture the reclassifications of prior years’ numbers such that they are apples-to-apples. 

Aircraft Controls segment sales will increase 4% in 2018 as the F-35 program continues to ramp up and our military aftermarket recovers. On the commercial side, we’ll 
see higher Boeing 787 and Airbus A350 OEM sales offset by lower production rates on our legacy Boeing programs and a softer initial provisioning of spares in aftermarket sales. 

Space and Defense segment sales will increase 3% with higher space sales on launch vehicles and satellite avionics. Defense sales will be up marginally with higher missiles 
and security sales compensating for lower military vehicle sales.  

Our Industrial Systems segment has four major markets, energy, industrial automation, simulation & test and medical. We are anticipating single digit organic sales growth 
in each of these major markets resulting in 6% growth for the segment. 

Reflections on the A&D Market 

2017 was a year of significant upheaval in the broad Aerospace & Defense market. Mid-sized suppliers combined with each other and mega-suppliers emerged to challenge 
the balance of power of the primes. In response, the primes started to collaborate in ways not seen before and chose to go vertical in select areas in their search for growth 
and returns. Amidst all this consolidation, we have been asked if smaller, specialized players like Moog can continue to prosper. We believe we can. We are convinced that 
the strength of the aerospace industry is based on a vibrant supply chain eco-system that provides competition and alternatives for our customers. In our view, value is 
created through specialization and performance. We have worked to become the leading supplier of flight control systems by delivering superior performance for our 
customers’ most critical applications. We think the consolidation around us could create new opportunities for Moog in providing an alternative, specialized source to the 
mega-suppliers. We have seen waves of change in the industry before, and each time we have followed our strategy of working closely with our customers to solve their 
most difficult technical challenges. We follow through on our commitments and create value through superior engineering. We believe there is always opportunity in the 
aerospace eco-system for a company like Moog. 

Longer-term Outlook

Looking out a few years beyond 2018, we are optimistic about our prospects. In our largest market, defense, the recent tide of shrinking budgets is changing as the U.S. 
and its allies work to rebuild their capabilities in the face of evolving global threats. Defense is about one third of our sales. Our largest program, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, 
is projected to continue growing and we are working on many new development programs which should turn into production in the medium term. Commercial aircraft 

3

C H A I R M A N ’ S   L E T T E R   ( C O N T I N U E D )

represents about a quarter of our sales and all market studies predict it will continue at a strong pace. Internally, as our R&D load shifts from commercial to funded military 
jobs, and our execution on new programs continues to improve, we should see consistent margin expansion in our Aircraft segment. Our industrial automation businesses 
make up about one fifth of our sales. These businesses are broadly driven by the global capital investment cycle and as GDP has accelerated in our key markets over the 
last few years, capital investment has started to follow. Our remaining three markets are energy, space and medical, and each represents less than 10% of our sales.  
Energy could continue to be a challenging market for us, but there are signs that the price of oil is creeping back up to a level where offshore investment may pick up again. 
In space, the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent program (GBSD), the replacement for the Minuteman missiles, remains our long-term priority. And in medical, we are 
investing in next generation pumps which should help us continue to win market share.     

Apart from our established end markets, there will be many new opportunities for Moog in the coming years as demand for advanced motion control grows. The world is 
watching robots slowly emerge from the secure environment of the factory floor and interact with people in unstructured settings. We are seeing the emergence of autonomy 
in everything that moves – from submarines to cars to airplanes. We are witnessing a new generation of advanced automation solutions tackle the demographic challenge 
of insufficient skilled labor across multiple industries. We are entering a golden age of automation – where ever-more advanced motion control systems will be incorporated 
into applications from agricultural equipment to surgical procedures. Moog has all the capabilities to be a major player in this new world. In addition to the underlying motion 
control technology and components, we have deep expertise in high-reliability systems from our work on flight critical systems. Moreover, we have the culture and the 
commitment to bring all of our capabilities together from across our organization to forge new end markets. In this exciting environment, we are investing our innovation 
dollars carefully in new business opportunities. We define innovation as any activity that creates value for a customer. We are working with lead customers who have real 
technical problems they are trying to solve. We are building a portfolio of options knowing that only some will turn out to be real winners. It is an exciting time to be in the 
advanced motion control business.   

Special Thanks

Dr. Richard Aubrecht has served in a variety of roles during his 46 years with the Company. Currently, Dick is our Chief Technology Officer, a Director and our Vice Chairman. 
It is with admiration and sadness that we bid Dick farewell as he retires in February 2018. Dick’s contributions over the years have been immeasurable. His steadfast focus 
on hiring the best engineering talent, his sustained efforts to maintain a culture and environment in which that talent could excel, and his emphasis on strategic planning 
are most notable. We wish Dick many healthy years of sailing and I personally thank him for all of his contributions.

Conclusion

Our traditional markets are healthy and growing. We are also seeing exciting opportunities emerge in markets that aren’t yet defined. They say that the pace of change is 
ever accelerating, and companies must change to keep up. We agree, but we also think some things must remain constant in the face of change:  

• Our commitment to solving our customers most difficult technical challenges;

• Our commitment to investing for the long-term to find tomorrow’s customers; 

• Our culture of collaboration, trust and integrity in everything we do;

• Our focus on creating long-term value for our shareholders.   

In 2018, we’ll continue to invest our energies and talents in serving our customers and building for the future. I plan to come back to you next year to report on another 
successful year for our Company.

Aircraft Controls

Moog and Air China signed a 10 year exclusive contract for comprehensive support of the Moog 
flight controls on Air China’s fleet of Boeing 787 aircraft.

Embraer’s  E195-E2  celebrated  its  first  flight  on  March  29th.  The  aircraft  is  the  Brazilian 
manufacturer’s largest commercial aircraft. Moog supplies the primary flight control system on 
the second generation of E-Jet family aircraft.

Boeing 787-9

On March 31st, Boeing’s 787-10 Dreamliner flew for the first time. The airplane is the newest and longest range model of the 787 family. Moog supplies the complete primary 
flight control system and the high lift system. The fleet of 787-8 and 787-9 Dreamliners in passenger service have flown over 1 million flights since entering service in 2011.

China’s Comac C919 narrow body airliner made its first flight from Shanghai on May 5th. Moog manufacturers the high lift system on the C919. First delivery is 
scheduled for 2020. 

Moog and Singapore Airlines Engineering Co. formed a joint venture company, Moog Aircraft Services Asia, located in Singapore. This joint venture provides 
maintenance, repair and overhaul services for Moog manufactured flight control systems fitted to new generation aircraft including the Boeing 787 and Airbus A350.

The Company broke ground on a new 95,000 square foot Aircraft Controls segment facility, located on Moog’s campus in Elma, New York. The facility will support 
contracts connected to the U.S. Military’s F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and the Airbus A350 commercial airplane.  

Space and Defense

Moog was selected to provide 75 MONARC-22 thruster engines for the second generation of six Meteorological 
Operational (MetOp-SG) satellites to be built by Airbus. Moog has been a trusted propulsion component supplier 
to Airbus for over thirty years.

NASA’s NICER mission payload was installed on-board the International Space Station. Moog provided tuned 
mass dampers, the main electronics box with GPS and gimbal controller electronics and the deployment and 
pointing system for the science payload that will study neutron stars.

MONARC-22 Thruster Engine

Moog’s Naval Systems business unit was honored with a Supplier Quality Award from Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems (IDS) for the second consecutive 
year. The Moog team received the award for quality and delivery performance in the top 5% of all Raytheon IDS Suppliers. 

Moog was awarded follow-on low rate initial production contracts with both Northrop Grumman and Saab Defense and Security USA to support the U.S. Marine 
Corps Ground/Air Task Oriented Radar (G/ATOR) program. Moog’s six-axis motion control system levels the platform and elevates and rotates the radar array.

In Niagara Falls, New York, Moog’s 87,000 square foot manufacturing and test facility is being upgraded to support Moog’s growing space propulsion business 
with multiple vacuum chambers to simulate conditions in space.

Industrial Systems

Moog launched a new high-pressure Radial Piston Pump (RKP) series. Certified for use hazardous environments, these rugged 
pumps feature quiet and low-vibration operation and are suitable for use in a wide range of applications including presses, 
metal forming and heavy industries.

The Industrial segment was chosen by the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) as their prime supplier of test equipment and services 
for its Large Scale Test Facility. The test facility at DTU’s Risø Campus is purpose-built for static and dynamic tests of wind turbine blades.

Moog Industrial launched a Return-to-Productivity program to give industrial machine owners and operators with Moog servo 
and proportional valves the option to restore their worn valves to like-new condition, with a renewed warranty. The program 
offers customers global support and the highest quality repair services.

High-Pressure RKP Pump

Components

The Components segment acquired Rekofa, a global rotary transfer systems business, from Morgan Advanced Materials.  
Rekofa designs and manufactures a portfolio of electromechanical systems for the transfer of current, signals and data in rotating 
devices and structures. The technology can be combined to include electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic and multi-channel fibre optic 
transfers and is typically used in tower cranes, radar systems, wind turbines, automotive and construction equipment.

Cold Spray Technology

Corroded and damaged parts require special repair solutions when replacements 
are scarce, expensive or have long lead times. Cold spray is an innovative additive 
manufacturing process that uses metal powders accelerated to supersonic speeds 
to restore a part’s original substrate – without inducing thermal stresses. 

Moog has worked with the US Army Research Lab (ARL) to develop, qualify and certify 
cold spray repairs for fixed and rotary aircraft components. Two state-of-the-art U.S. 
located Moog facilities offer cold spray technology on hard-to-repair magnesium and 
aluminum parts. Our engineers successfully repair corroded areas and wear-damaged 
surfaces including transmission gearboxes, sump housings, engine components, flap 
transmission housings, nose wheel steering actuators and landing gear components.

Significant Total Cost Savings 
• Repair versus replacement saves inventory and total sustainment costs
• Repair lead times can be substantially less than lead times for new components
• Repairing defects versus scrapping newly manufactured parts improves 

production yields

Moog’s nickel cold spray repair for the Apache AH-64 helicopter main rotor mast enables 
the U.S. Army to recover worn or corroded masts by repairing them to meet original 
specifications. Cold spray repair of damaged, worn or corroded cast magnesium housings 
prevents scrapping long lead procurement and high replacement cost components.

Space Rideshare Technology: The Moog ESPA

Moog rideshare components and systems enable efficient space access to small 
satellites and space based payloads.

Moog’s ESPA, the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle Secondary Payload Adapter, 
utilizes a launch vehicle’s excess capacity to mount additional spacecraft and payloads 
below a primary spacecraft. ESPA allows up to six secondary satellites, up to 322kg 
each, to ride along on launch vehicles with main payload large primary satellites.  
This reduces launch costs for all rideshare companions while offering space access 
to small satellites via EELV-class Atlas V, Delta IV, and Falcon 9 launch vehicles.

Extensive  engineering  analysis  and  a  qualification  test  program  demonstrated 
ESPA’s ability to withstand harsh launch environments. Moog engineers provided the 
mechanical design, stress analysis and structural test engineering to offer the space 
industry a near off-the-shelf design enabling multiple different launch manifests.

The  Moog  family  of  ESPA  Rings  supports  the  entire  spectrum  of  domestic  and 
international  satellites  and  launch  vehicles.  With  roots  in  military  space,  we’ve 
capitalized  on  the  growing  rideshare  market  and  we’re  an  industry  leader  in 
rideshare hardware solutions.

Medical Computer Tomography (CT) Systems

CT scanners operate by rotating an x-ray tube and an x-ray detector array around 
the  patient  at  rotational  speeds  of  120-280  RPM. A  beam  of  x-rays  is  directed 
through  the  patient’s  body  to  be  captured  by  the  detector  array  for  subsequent 
image creation. One of the key technologies behind the dramatic improvement in CT 
performance is slip ring innovation that enables increasingly improved images and 
diagnostic functionality. Moog works with many of key CT system manufacturers to 
provide reliable large-diameter slip ring solutions.

Error-free  transmission  of  the  image  data  from  the  x-ray  detector  array  at  data 
speeds of up to 20 Gigabit per second is the key element of CT slip ring design. 
Moog  accomplishes  this  transfer  with  either  optical  or  capacitive  data  channels. 
Electrical power of several kilowatts is transferred across sliding electrical contacts 
on a one-meter diameter ring at 200+ RPM using patented fiber brush technology.

Key Elements of CT Slip Ring Products 
• High speed non-contacting data channel for image data (1-20 Gigabit/second)
• Contacting power rings for kilowatts of power
• Bi-directional communication channel for gantry control
• Specialized production for large diameter (1 meter) rings

Moog  leads  the  way  in  developing  innovative  slip  ring  designs  that  improve  the 
diagnostic capability and affordability of medical CT imaging.
