Woodward Q1 sales fall 2% to $773 million; diluted EPS $1.42, down 3%
Woodward reported first-quarter fiscal 2025 net sales of $773 million, down 2%, and diluted EPS of $1.42, down 3% from a year earlier. The company said its 2025 guidance is unchanged except that adjusted EPS guidance was narrowed to $5.85-$6.25 from $5.75-$6.25, reflecting a lower expected tax rate, which matters to shareholders because the profit decline and the guidance change point in different directions.
