Bombardier logged a profit in the third quarter as its aftermarket business helped drive revenue above expectations.
The Canadian business jet manufacturer posted a net income $117 million, or $1.09 a share a share, compared with a loss of $37 million, or 47 cents a share, in the comparable quarter a year ago.
Adjusted earnings were 74 cents a share a share, just shy of analyst expectations of 75 cents a share, according to FactSet.
Revenues rose 12% to $2.07 billion, topping analyst expectations of a decline to $1.79 billion.
The revenue growth was driven by its aftermarket business' growth and a delivery mix, Bombardier said, while revenues from the its services business stream continued their upward trajectory, rising 28% year-over-year to $528 million. Revenues from services are trending ahead of Bombardier's trajectory, and said that it is on track to achieve its $2 billion target for aftermarket revenues by 2025
The company delivered a healthy mix of aircraft this quarter, for a total of 30 deliveries, and its backlog as of the end of the quarter was $14.7 billion.
