HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2020 FOURTH QUARTER
Revenue
Revenue was $215.1 million, down 4.0% compared to the same prior year period, due to volume declines in Test & Simulation and Sensors. Both businesses were negatively impacted by COVID-19 due to the closure of customer sites, travel restrictions and delayed customer spending. Test & Simulation revenue decreased primarily due to a decline in volume from softness in our ground vehicles, simulation and materials sectors, coupled with lower service volume. The decline was partially offset by top-line contributions from the acquisition of the R&D entities in Denmark (R&D) of $18.8 million, which was completed early in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020. Sensors revenue declined due to softness in all sectors except our test sector, which included continued U.S. Department of Defense volume growth and a full quarter of revenue from Endevco, which closed during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019. There were no material cancellations of orders or backlog in the fourth quarter.
Orders
Test & Simulation orders during the quarter were $135.2 million, up 16.0% compared to the prior year primarily driven by the addition of wind energy orders from the acquisition of R&D and an increase in service orders as customers sites have resumed more normalized activities. The increase was partially offset by lower orders in our materials and structures sectors and our product rationalization efforts in China.
Sensors orders during the quarter were $80.7 million, down 10.5% compared to the same prior year period primarily driven by a large Department of Defense order in our test sector that did not repeat in fiscal year 2020, as well as lower orders in our industrial sector reflecting the global impact of COVID-19. The decrease was partially offset by growth in our positions sector.
