REVENUE BY MARKET DISTRIBUTION

Fifty  years  ago,  on  July  20,  1969,  four  days  after  launching  on  a 
Saturn rocket, the Lunar Module (LM) landed on the surface of the 
Moon. Moog employees designed and built the Thrust Vector Control 
(TVC) actuation on all three stages of the Saturn rocket on that historic 
flight—as well as the earlier Mercury and Gemini space programs.

While Apollo 11 Commander Neil Armstrong and Pilot Edwin “Buzz” 
Aldrin  Jr.  descended  to  the  Moon’s  surface,  Pilot  Michael  Collins 
remained  with  the  Command  and  Service  Modules  in  lunar  orbit.  
The  Moon’s  uneven  surface  required  Armstrong  to  steer  the  LM 
using semi-automated controls. To train for the landing, Armstrong 
used  the  Lunar  Landing  Research  Vehicle  (LLRV)  which  was 
designed and built by Bell Aerosystems in Niagara Falls, now part of 
Moog. The LLRV used small jet engines to provide lift and hydrogen 
peroxide monopropellant rocket engines to simulate how the actual 
Lunar Module would respond during landing.

On July 21st, the upper portion of the LM separated and returned 
Armstrong and Aldrin to the orbiting Command Module. The Ascent 
Engine, also built by Bell Aerosystems, had no back-up and could not 
fail. It worked flawlessly.

Artemis,  NASA’s  new  lunar  exploration  program,  will  send  a  crew 
with  the  first  woman  and  the  next  man  to  land  on  the  Moon.  
We are proud to once again be counted on to meet the challenge of 
returning to the Moon by 2024.

“The highlight of Moog’s accomplishments in the aerospace market in fiscal 1969 was the successful Apollo Program. 
Eight Moog actuators steered the second stage of the Saturn V launch vehicle and two actuators controlled the critical 
SIVB stage. Moog steering controls have been used on every major space shot to date.”

C H A I R M A N ’ S   L E T T E R

To Our Shareholders, Employees and Friends,

I’d like to begin by thanking the 13,000 Moog employees around the globe for their 
dedication  and  commitment.  This  report  is  a  testimony  to  their  work  and  your 
company’s success.  

2019 was a record year for our company. Sales were up 7%, building on the 8% 
growth in the prior year. Sales in our Aircraft segment were up 9% over fiscal ’18 
as commercial sales saw strong growth across our Boeing, Airbus and business jet 
portfolios.  Early  production  on  the  next  generation  Embraer  E2  regional  jet  also 
contributed. In the military aircraft market, sales growth was led by the Lockheed 
Martin  F-35  Joint  Strike  Fighter  program,  Bell  V-22  and  various  international 
programs.  Our  engineering  teams  continued  to  win  content  on  next  generation 
military aircraft platforms, driving funded development.

In Space and Defense, sales were up a very impressive 18% organically, with our 
entire  portfolio  of  missiles,  ground  vehicles,  naval  applications  and  general 
components businesses seeing increases. On the space side, sales increased on 
NASA  programs  as  the  U.S.  plans  for  a  return  to  the  Moon  in  2024.  Funded 
development programs for hypersonic applications were also strong.  

In  our  Industrial  Systems  segment,  higher  sales  into  industrial  automation  and 
medical applications compensated for lower energy sales. Our decision to exit the 
wind pitch control business in 2018 drove the lower energy sales. For the segment 
in total, it was a flat year for sales but a significant shift in the portfolio to more 
profitable product lines.

Both Space and Defense and Industrial segments saw margin increases as a result 
of our portfolio refinements over the last few years. Margins in our Aircraft segment 
were down due to challenges in our supply chain. These challenges taught us that 
we need to build a more robust set of operating processes and systems to meet the 
demands of being a tier one supplier on major aerospace programs. We are investing 
accordingly in internal talent, outside consulting and capital improvements to drive 
significant operational gains over the coming years.

For fiscal ’20 we’re anticipating another year of sales growth, continued margin 
expansion and higher earnings per share. We continue to be optimistic about our 
business.  Our  portfolio  of  defense  programs  is  very  strong  and  our  funded 
development work on future platforms continues to grow. Our commercial aircraft 
revenues  will  see  some  legacy  programs  wind  down  next  year,  but  our  space 
business  will  be  higher  on  increased  NASA  activity. We  anticipate  our  industrial 
businesses will be about even with fiscal ’19. 

When making forecasts for our business, macroeconomic uncertainty is always the 
biggest unknown. To date, the impact of global trade disputes and Brexit on our 
businesses  has  been  muted. We’re  hopeful  2020  will  bring  an  easing  of  trade 
tensions and a clearer path forward for the U.K. Defense will continue to be strong 
as the U.S. rebuilds its military capability from the sequestration era and the threat 
of near-peer adversaries continues to be the top of the defense agenda. 

“We remain focused on our key 
technologies and, within this niche, 
believe we can be competitive with  
any player in the industry.”

Within the Aerospace & Defense industry, the trend towards industry consolidation 
through  mergers  and  acquisitions  continued  unabated  in  2019.  From  our 
perspective, we believe that size and scope are less important for an aerospace 
supplier  than  deep  expertise  and  capability.  We  remain  focused  on  our  key 

technologies and, within this niche, believe we can be competitive with any player 
in the industry.

In  the  face  of  a  changing  external  environment,  our  internal  strategy  has  not 
changed. We work to create value for our customers by tailoring our products to 
meet  their  specific  needs  and  solving  their  most  difficult  technical  challenges. 
Customer intimacy is at our core and we enjoy multi-generational relationships with 
most of our customers. When there’s a problem, we always seek to do the right 
thing by our customer, sometimes at the expense of short-term financial results. 
We believe this is key to building a great company over time.  

We have a laser focus on our core technologies of motion and fluid control, but a wide 
lens on end markets which can benefit from our capabilities. We seek to be prudent 
stewards of our shareholders’ capital by maintaining a strong balance sheet and a 
disciplined  approach  to  capital  allocation. We  believe  growth  is  a  core  element  of 
long-term value creation and continue aggressively to pursue adjacent acquisitions. 
However, we remain disciplined in terms of pricing and strategic fit. As a result, we’ve 
walked away from many opportunities in the last year instead of overpaying. 

We  have  three  corporate-wide  initiatives  around  talent,  lean  and  innovation.  
Our innovation spending is focused around three key themes which cut across all 
our major markets–electrification, autonomy and connectivity. Finally, our culture of 
trust and collaboration remains the cornerstone of our business.  

“As we look out over the coming 
decades, we remain very excited about 
our business.”

In 1969,  Moog  provided  the  actuators  which  steered  the  Apollo  11  rocket  into 
space, helping put the first humans on the Moon. Over the last 50 years we have 
built on that heritage by taking our technologies to an ever wider set of customers 
and markets. As we look out over  the coming  decades, we remain very excited 
about our business. 

Rising concern about global warming is driving the need for new and more efficient 
motion technologies. An aging population and lack of skilled labor in many industries 
is increasing the need for more advanced robotics. In addition, advances in sensors, 
artificial intelligence and autonomous systems are making it possible to  introduce 
new  types  of  automation  into  old  industries  such  as  construction  and  agriculture. 
Moog  is  ideally  positioned  to  take  advantage  of  these  macro  trends.  Our  deep 
expertise  in  motion  components  and  high  reliability  systems,  combined  with  our 
continuing investments in innovation, give us the tools to meet this emerging demand.   

At the end of calendar 2019, Don Fishback is retiring from our company. Don joined 
the company in 1981 and spent a career in our finance organization, rising to the role 
of  CFO  in  2010.  Over  the  years,  he  has  made  an  enormous  contribution  to  the 
success  of  our  business  through  active  engagement  in  strategic  decisions  and 
prudent management of our capital. He has always put the interests of our company 
first, living the culture and being a team player at all times. We will miss a great CFO. 
Don will remain on the board as a director for many years to come so we will continue 
to benefit from his insights and wisdom. We wish him well in the next chapter of life.

John Scannell

Gulfstream’s  all-new  Gulfstream  G600  earned  both  its  type  and  production 
certificates from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The certifications 
were followed by the first G600 deliveries to customers in August. Type certification 
is granted after an aircraft’s design proves compliance with aviation regulations. A 
production  certificate  is  granted  once  the  manufacturer  demonstrates  its 
manufacturing  facilities  and  quality  management  system  meet  the  agency’s 
requirements for safety and reliability. Moog supplies the high lift system and the 
pilot directional control system for the G600. The G600 can fly up to 6,500 nautical

Aftermarket Support

As a leading supplier to aircraft OEMs, Moog’s portfolio includes a broad range of electrical, 
hydraulic  and  mechanical  aircraft  control  components  and  systems. We  offer  the  latest 
enhancements and support for our products over the life cycle of a platform – from idea 
conception  and  design  to  aftermarket.  Moog’s  customer  commitment  includes  a  staffed 
24/7 Aircraft on Ground (AOG) service for commercial programs. 

An unserviceable aircraft, grounded due to lack of spare parts, is costly for an airline or operator 
of freighters or business jets. When lack of a part keeps an aircraft from being released to 
service, the aircraft is considered AOG. Operators then dispatch emergency spares from their 
inventory, part manufacturers, or other open market sources. Shifting airline strategies has 
streamlined hub-to-hub passenger routing and consolidated maintenance operations. 

Moog’s Total Support (MTS) quickly supplies new and overhauled components from Moog’s 
forward-stocking  inventory  locations  around  the  globe. Airlines  on  contract  for  Power  by 
the Hour (PBH) services have access to spares pooling, maintenance and on-site technical 
support. On average, Moog’s 24/7 aftermarket response team manages 75 AOG and PBH 
events  each  month,  with  a  turnaround  time  of  less  than  four  hours.  Moog  aftermarket 
support  employees  interact  with  customers  over  5,000  times  a  month  when  ordering 
spares, inquiring about repair and overhaul services, and arranging advance exchanges.

On military aircraft, Moog is positioned on virtually every platform in the marketplace. With 
aircraft in service many years beyond intended design life, Moog provides modern solutions 
with upgrades and life extension programs that utilize next generation technologies.

Moog  engineers  also  work  in  conjunction  with  military  aircraft  repair  depots  to  support 
fighter, helicopter and tiltrotor aircraft stationed around the globe. As the OEM legacy supplier 
of F-15, F-16 and F-18 flight control components, our aftermarket and sustainment teams 
routinely  provide  spare  parts  and  repair  and  overhaul  services  to  U.S.  and  international 
military users, supporting Moog legacy and non-Moog products.

Additive Manufacturing for Space

Moog  has  a  strong  heritage  of  providing  thrusters  and  associated  components  to  global 
satellite customers. To prepare for the ever-evolving space market, Moog has invested in a 
state-of-the-art metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) facility and a new engine testing facility. 

Currently, Moog engineers are developing technologies to support the next generation of 
monopropellant  and  bi-propellant  small  thrusters,  utilizing  AM  and  other  advanced 
manufacturing methods. AM offers unique geometries that increase propellant flow efficiencies 
and provide unparalleled thermal management. Within one-half inch, a thruster could have a 
surface that will be greater than 2500˚ F and another feature that needs to be maintained to 
less than 100˚ F. The additive configuration allows for these temperatures to be accommodated 
where traditional manufacturing methods would not meet the expected package requirements.

When compared to a conventional design method, additive offers the advantages of weight 
reduction,  overall  part-count  reduction,  reduced  special  processes  such  as  welding  and 
brazing, faster design iteration with shorter lead-times, and improved performance with a 
potential for lower cost products. Moog has recently manufactured, and hot-fire tested AM 
rocket engine injectors made of titanium and INCONEL®. Traditional or subtractive machined 
parts have a lead-time of 12-15 months. Moog’s AM rapid product development reduced the 
lead-time to 4-6 months, with a replacement part lead-time of 4 days. Complex geometry due 
to injector complexity, envelope, and mass constraints made AM development the answer for 
a hardware design that had to meet strict customer performance specifications.

Rotary Transfer Systems

Rekofa’s rotary transfer product portfolio, acquired by Moog in 2017, includes customized 
electromechanical  systems  that  transfer  current,  signals  and  data  in  rotating  devices  or 
structures. The products are used wherever there is a need for continuous rotating transfer 
of currents, data and media to a stationary component. Slip ring transmitters, often called 
rotary joints or transfer systems, are electromechanical products used on fixed angle and 
continuously rotating parts. 

For over 90 years, Rekofa has been designing and manufacturing slip rings for most major 
OEM  equipment  manufacturers.  Slip  rings  are  designed  into  construction  excavators, 
port and mobile cranes, turntable ladder vehicles and elevating platforms to deliver reliable 
performance in harsh environments. Most of these applications require robust bandwidth 
that reflects equipment type, data usage and jobsite conditions. 

The technology can also be combined to include electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic and multi-
channel fiber optic transfers typically used in tower cranes and cabs, radar systems and 
automotive manufacturing. Rekofa engineers work with customers to incorporate custom 
designs into new products, specializing in matching components to specific environmental 
conditions for temperature, sea water and oil resistance, and vibration.

The  Rekofa  acquisition  extended  Moog’s  existing  line  of  industrial  slip  rings  and  rotary 
transfer solutions to Rekofa’s customer base in Europe, Asia and North America. In addition 
to  excavators,  slip  ring  rotary  transmitters  are  designed  into  industrial  automation 
applications  for  packaging,  printing,  bottling  and  automotive  plant  welding  turntables.
