Rolls-Royce Backs Outlook on Strong Demand for Engines, Power Generation

By Cristina Gallardo

Rolls-Royce said strong demand across all its business areas means it is on track to meet its full-year targets.

The U.K. engine maker said Thursday that it is performing in line with its expectations.

Civil Aerospace demand remains strong thanks to large engine orders, including those from IndiGo, Malaysia Airlines and Avolon, placed in the second half of the year, it said.

Rolls-Royce's defense business continues to experience robust demand, thanks to work for the Global Combat Aircraft Program, which aims to develop a sixth-generation fighter jet by 2035, and a new deal to export 20 Eurofighter Typhoon jets to Turkey, it added.

The company's power-systems business had strong order intake and revenue growth led by the rise of data centers, it said.

Rolls-Royce backed its 2025 guidance. It continues to expect underlying operating profit to be between 3.1 billion and 3.2 billion pounds ($4.07 billion-$4.20 billion), and free cash flow between 3 billion and 3.1 billion pounds.

The London-listed manufacturer said it has already repurchased 900 million pounds of its continuing share-buyback program, with the aim to reach 1 billion pounds.
