The deal to buy Collins' actuation and flights controls business marks the French engine and aircraft equipment maker's biggest acquisition since the 2018 purchase of seat maker Zodiac. "We are going to move towards more electrical actuation and flight controls," Safran's Chief Executive Officer Olivier Andries said. Collins Aerospace, part of U.S. aerospace and defence giant Raytheon Technologies, recently renamed RTX (RTX.N), said the sale would "optimize resources". Safran said its all-cash offer gave the business it is acquiring an enterprise value of $1.8 billion. Safran said Collins would remain a key customer for the business as a manufacturer of nacelles or engine housings for jetliners, making up 25% of the acquired activity's revenues.

June 14 (Reuters) - French aerospace engine maker Safran SA (SAF.PA) is nearing an approximately $1.8 billion deal to acquire a Raytheon Technologies Corp (RTX.N) unit that makes flight controls for aircraft, helicopters and missiles, according to a person familiar with the matter. Safran may reach a deal to acquire Raytheon's actuation business that makes flight controls as early as this week, the source said, asking not to be identified because the matter is confidential. Spokespeople for Safran and Raytheon did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Safran said on June 5 it was participating in a "competitive process" for Raytheon's flight controls business, without commenting on the chances of an agreement or the terms of a deal. The Raytheon business will strengthen Safran's ties with Airbus SE (AIR.PA), since it sells into many of its commercial aircraft and has some operations in France.

"The (pandemic) demand crisis is well and truly behind us," Chief Executive Olivier Andries said after reporting first-quarter revenues that rose 24.7% on an underlying basis to 5.266 billion euros ($5.78 billion). Safran's core propulsion revenues rose by 34.9%, on an organic basis, to 2.714 billion euros. Safran reaffirmed its 2023 full-year forecasts for revenues of at least 23 billion euros, recurring operating income around 3 billion euros and free cashflow of at least 2.5 billion. But the engine maker said the main risk factor remained supply chains, led by shortages of materials and labour. Andries said all metals were on the company's watch list for possible supply disruptions, notably steel.
