PwC ha publicado su reporte anual sobre el desempe\u00f1o de la industria aeroespaciales y de defensa. Las 100 mayores empresas del \u00e1rea, facturaron durante 2016 poco m\u00e1s de 709 mil millones de d\u00f3lares estadounidenses, los que permitieron ganancias de u$s 69 mil millones. Esto represent\u00f3 un aumento de u$s 689 mil millones en ingresos y u$s 64 mil millones en ganancias en comparaci\u00f3n con el a\u00f1o 2015. Mientras que esto est\u00e1 por debajo de los niveles r\u00e9cord en 2014, en gran medida por el d\u00f3lar fuerte de Estados Unidos, la industria demostr\u00f3 todav\u00eda saludables m\u00e9tricas para el a\u00f1o. Los sectores de defensa y aeroespacial comercial esperan mejoras para el resto de 2017.<\/p>\n
Our data is drawn from financial reports on fiscal year 2016 results for the largest 100 aerospace and defense (A&D) companies by revenue (see Appendix A) and other publicly available information, such as company websites and press releases. Our cut-off date for publication was April 1, 2017. A&D companies include those that generate the majority of revenue from aerospace or defense activities or, for diversified companies, those reportable segments that derive a majority of their revenue from A&D activities. The results are reported in US dollars. Foreign currencies were translated at average exchange rates for years ending December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 respectively. Our report also expresses PwC\u2019s point of view on topics affecting the industry, developed through interactions with our clients and other industry leaders and analysts.<\/p>\n
