Bruce Gowan, IWG Chairman stated "Product timing issues and a recent decline in business jet deliveries saw the quarter come in lighter than the previous year. While the industry has estimated that business jet deliveries are down 4.7% over last year, IWG has seen a 3% revenue increase in the first 9 months of fiscal 2016. Also, customer-driven changes have delayed the certification process for a newly developed commercial aviation product which is expected to provide revenue growth in fiscal 2017 and beyond. The company is confident that its ability to deliver strong results will continue, as evidenced by maintaining the year-over-year performance in the face of these recent events."
