Morningstar | COB Updated Forecasts and Estimates from 16 Nov 2018
Cobham's 10-month trading update did not change our no moat rating nor our GBX 130 fair value estimate. The company left fiscal-year 2018 guidance unchanged, and, as usual with its trading statements, gave little specific information on results since the first-half results in August.Cobham has been mired in a dispute with one of its customers, Boeing, over delays in supplying Inert Gas Generating Systems (aircraft refueling systems) for the KC-46 programme, which originally included 18 aircraft to be delivered to the US Air Force by August 2017. Cobham experienced delays in deliveries for the programme that led to Boeing making damage assertions. As a result, Cobham has had to take special charges, including so far around GBP 40 million in 2018, and the company remains in talks with Boeing regarding the damages and payment withholding.
The company is making some progress on the programme, having completed qualification testing on the Centerline Drogue System early this year. And, as of October, the company delivered 18 production standard CDS.
