The firm noted that market conditions continued to drag down its marine sector as it posted a 16% drop in revenue to $137m.

“This business will help scale up our aerospace capabilities by moving us upstream into the OEM business of high-value components,” Cheong commented. “We are excited by the role it will play in the growth of our Aerospace sector, and look forward to closing the transaction in Q1 2018.”

The firm’s order book as of September YTD hit $13.3b, of which $1.6b will be delivered in the remaining months of 2018.
