PARKER HANNIFIN 2011 $2,958,143 $12,345,870 $1,467,773 Basic: $2.00 Dilute: $1.98 2010 $2,146,099 $9,993,166 $1,277,080 Basic: $2.00 Dilute: $1.98 2009 $2,127,667 $10,309,015 $1,290,379 Basic: $2.00 Dilute: $1.98 12.70B
All three companies compete with each other in Aerospace and Defense Industry. As we can see from above table parker Hannifin is the strongest competition to other two companies and is also one of the largest company in this field. Total research and development costs relating to the development of new products and services and the improvement of existing products and services amounted to $359.5 million in fiscal year 2011, $316.2 million in fiscal year 2010, and $338.9 million in fiscal year 2009. According to Moogs Inc. 10-K filling and by looking into above table Research and development increased in 2011 as compared to 2010 and was because of increases on multiple programs, including the Airbus A350 program. Research and development expenses increased modestly in 2010 compared to 2009. The Net sales in 2010 of Parker Hannifin were 3.1 percent lower than 2009. The decline in sales in 2010 primarily reflects lower volume in all segments except for the Climate & Industrial Controls Segment. Acquisitions did not make a material contribution to the sales level in 2010. The effect of currency rate changes increased net sales in 2010 by approximately $126 million. Net sales for Moog Inc. increased in 2011 as compared to 2010 because of strong increases coming from all of our segments. Also the net
