Orbital ATK remains in the spotlight for its August 10, 2016 announcement that it would fail to timely file its Form 10-Q with the SEC.  Orbital further announced that, due to accounting irregularities, investors should no longer rely on several of its historical financial statements. 

Orbital’s accounting irregularities will affect the company’s $2.3 billion long-term contract with the U.S. Army.  The Company estimates that it will restate its financials to reduce pre-tax operating income by approximately $400 million to $450 million and reduce reported revenue by $100 million to $150 million.  Orbital further disclosed that “[a]fter considering the misstatements…the Company believes that the contract will result in a net loss over its 10-year term.”

In response to this news, the price of Orbital’s stock tumbled over 20% on August 10, 2016 to close at $70.79.  Orbital has yet to file its Form 10-Q.

“Among other items, we’re looking into why Orbital’s accounting irregularities seemingly went unchecked for so long,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
