The company also said sales hit a full-year record of $1.4 billion for 2015 versus the Wall Street estimate of $1.48 billion but showed a 2.9 percent increase from 2014 revenue figures.
Cubic’s fiscal 2016 guidance has an outlook of between $1.30 and $1.55 earnings per share and a revenue range of $1.45 billion to $1.5 billion.
Fiscal 2015 earnings figures do not include an increase in effective tax rate the company estimated to have a 31-cent impact on earnings in the fourth quarter, which brought adjusted earnings per share to 74 cents in the fourth quarter and 85 cents for the year.
Restructuring costs also impacted Cubic’s full-year earnings figures as the company realigned its operating structure in February from three segments into two with one in global defense and the other in transportation systems.
With those costs, the company recorded a 22-cent loss in its first quarter.
