At the Gabelli 31st Annual Aerospace & Defense Symposium on September 4, 2025, Peter Gundermann discussed Astronics' financial outlook and key programs. He said the company expected revenue of approximately $850 million for the year and noted a near-record backlog of around $650 million, which he described as a positive indication for continued growth. Gundermann stated that Astronics had emerged from the pandemic in a stronger financial position, with a convertible bond and a $200 million available debt line. Gundermann highlighted the company's role as a long-term partner with Bell on the V280 program, stating that content per aircraft could be around $1 million, which he said would be the largest ship-set content the company has ever placed on an airplane. He also discussed a potential expansion of the test segment, suggesting that adding $20 million to $40 million annually to the business could "fundamentally change the financials." Regarding production rates, Gundermann said Astronics was operating at 30 to 32 ships per month and expected to match Boeing's production rate by the end of 2025. He referenced Boeing's publicly stated plans to increase to 42 ships per month by October 2025 and to 82 per month by early 2028.
