TransDigm Group Reports Fiscal Fourth Quarter Results and Year-End Results

Cleveland, November 15, 2010/PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — TransDigm Group Incorporated (NYSE: TDG), a leading global designer, producer and supplier of highly engineered aircraft components, today reported results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.

Highlights for the quarter and fiscal year include:

 

   

Fourth quarter net sales of $223.1 million, up 13.1% from $197.4 million

 

   

Fourth quarter EBITDA As Defined of $115.6 million, up 22.9% from $94.1 million

 

   

Fourth quarter adjusted earnings per share under the “two-class method” of $1.02, up 18.6% from $0.86

 

   

Fiscal 2010 net sales of $827.7 million, up 8.7% from $761.6 million

 

   

Fiscal 2010 net income of $163.4 million, up 0.3% from $162.9 million

 

   

Fiscal 2010 earnings per share under the “two-class method” of $2.52, down 18.7% from $3.10

 

   

Fiscal 2010 EBITDA As Defined of $411.6 million, up 9.9% from $374.7 million

 

   

Fiscal 2010 adjusted earnings per share under the “two-class method” of $3.35, up 1.8% from $3.29

Net sales for the quarter rose 13.1% to $223.1 million from $197.4 million in the comparable quarter a year ago. Organic net sales growth was approximately 4.6%. The acquisitions of Acme Aerospace, the Woodward Governor valve product line, Dukes Aerospace and Semco Instruments accounted for the balance of the sales increase.

Net income for the quarter rose 21.7% to $50.6 million, or $0.96 per share, compared with $41.6 million, or $0.79 per share, in the comparable quarter a year ago. This increase in net income of $9.0 million reflects the net sales growth, favorable product mix and a lower effective tax rate. Partially offsetting these factors was an increase in interest expense primarily associated with the $425 million notes issued in October 2009.

Adjusted net income for the quarter rose 20.1% to $54.1 million, or $1.02 per share, from $45.1 million, or $0.86 per share, in the comparable quarter a year ago. Adjusted net income for the

current quarter excludes $3.5 million, net of tax, or $0.06 per share, of non-cash compensation costs, acquisition-related expenses, and transaction-related costs. Adjusted net income for the prior-year quarter also excluded $3.5 million, net of tax, or $0.07 per share, of non-cash compensation costs and acquisition-related expenses.

EBITDA for the quarter increased 23.6% to $110.9 million from $89.7 million for the comparable quarter a year ago. EBITDA As Defined for the period increased 22.9% to $115.6 million compared with $94.1 million in the quarter a year ago. EBITDA As Defined as a percentage of net sales for the quarter was 51.8%.

As previously reported on September 27, 2010, the Company has entered into an agreement to acquire the stock of McKechnie Aerospace Holdings Inc. McKechnie manufactures proprietary, highly engineered components for the aerospace industry. We expect that the acquisition, which is subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions, will close during the first quarter of fiscal year 2011.

Fiscal 2010 Results

Fiscal 2010 net sales were $827.7 million, an 8.7% increase over net sales of $761.6 million in the comparable period last year. All of this increase was due to recent acquisitions, with organic sales down 1%.

Fiscal 2010 net income increased 0.3% to $163.4 million, or $2.52 per share, from $162.9 million, or $3.10 per share, in the comparable period a year ago. Although net income was relatively flat there were several increases primarily due to the growth in net sales, improvements in operating margins resulting from the strength of our proprietary products, productivity gains from continued cost reduction initiatives and favorable product mix. Diluting these gains was an increase in interest expense of $18.1 million, net of tax, or $0.34 per share, primarily associated with the October 2009 note offering. In addition, earnings per share in the first quarter were reduced by $0.57 per share representing dividend equivalent payments.

Fiscal 2010 adjusted net income increased 2.7% to $177.4 million, or $3.35 per share, from $172.6 million, or $3.29 per share, in the comparable period a year ago. This increase in net income was diluted among other things by the $0.34 per share of increased interest expense primarily associated with the notes issued in October 2009. Adjusted net income in the current year-to-date period excludes $13.9 million of certain non-cash compensation-related expenses, acquisition-related costs, and transaction-related costs net of tax, or $0.26 per share. In addition, adjusted earnings per share in the first quarter excluded the $0.57 per share dividend equivalent payments. Adjusted net income in the prior year-to-date period excluded $9.7 million of certain non-cash compensation-related expenses and acquisition-related costs, net of tax, or $0.19 per share.

Fiscal 2010 EBITDA increased 8.4% to $393.2 million compared with $362.9 million for the comparable period a year ago. EBITDA As Defined for the period increased 9.9% to $411.6 million from $374.7 million for the comparable period a year ago. EBITDA As Defined Margin for the fiscal year was 49.7%.

On a pro-forma basis, major commercial markets were generally improved with commercial aftermarket revenues up about 18% on a quarter versus quarter basis, about 3% year over year and sequentially. Bookings in this market were up over 20% for the full year. Commercial OEM revenues were up 6% on a quarter versus quarter basis but down 11.4% year over year. This decrease year over year was primarily driven by the business jet OEM’s significant rate reductions and related inventory decreases. Full year commercial OEM bookings were up over 25%. Defense revenues were down about 5% on a quarter versus quarter basis but up 4% year over year. Defense bookings were essentially flat year over year.

“We are pleased with our operating results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year,” stated W. Nicholas Howley, TransDigm Group’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Despite the uncertain global economy, our fiscal year results ended strong, reflecting the apparent beginning of a long awaited upturn in global air traffic. Due to the combination of improving commercial aftermarket demand and our ongoing value-based operating strategies, EBITDA As Defined margin increased to almost 50% of sales, in spite of the dilutive impact of recent acquisitions. This financial performance continues to reflect the ability of our proven operating strategy to consistently create intrinsic shareholder value.”

“In fiscal 2010, we completed a $425 million note offering, paid a special dividend of $7.65 per share, completed the acquisitions of two proprietary aerospace component businesses for approximately $167 million and entered into a definitive agreement to purchase a third, McKechnie Aerospace for approximately $1.27 billion,” continued Mr. Howley. “We ended the year with over $230 million in cash and almost $200 million of capacity on our revolving credit facility and commitments for financing the McKechnie acquisition. This strong liquidity position and a robust debt market provide us with adequate financial flexibility to support continued growth and the ability to pursue acquisition opportunities beyond McKechnie.”

Please see the attached tables for a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA, EBITDA As Defined, and adjusted net income, a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to EBITDA and EBITDA As Defined, and a reconciliation of earnings per share to adjusted earnings per share for the periods discussed in this press release.

Earnings per share is calculated under the “two-class method.” The application of the “two-class method” as compared to the treasury stock method requires the inclusion of approximately 2 million additional shares outstanding for the quarter, which results in dilution of earnings per share by approximately 3-4% on a fully diluted basis.

Fiscal 2011 Outlook

As previously announced, on September 25, 2010 the Company entered into a definitive agreement with McKechnie Holdings LLC to acquire all of the stock of McKechnie Aerospace Holdings, Inc. Also as previously disclosed, we intend to finance the McKechnie acquisition and concurrently refinance our existing indebtedness through a portion of senior subordinated notes and borrowings under a new senior secured credit facility. We anticipate that the McKechnie acquisition will close during our first fiscal quarter of 2011. Due to the timing of regulatory approval associated with and the financing of the McKechnie acquisition, fiscal 2011 guidance will be issued at a later date. We will discuss certain summary 2011 information for TransDigm only, excluding McKechnie, on the call.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Information

EBITDA, EBITDA As Defined, EBITDA As Defined Margin, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release as supplemental disclosures to net income and reported results. TransDigm Group defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and defines EBITDA As Defined as EBITDA plus certain non-operating items, acquisition-related costs, transaction-related costs and non-cash charges incurred in connection with certain employee benefit plans. TransDigm Group defines adjusted net income as net income plus purchase accounting backlog amortization expense, acquisition-related costs, transaction-related costs and non-cash charges incurred in connection with certain employee benefit plans. EBITDA As Defined Margin represents EBITDA As Defined as a percentage of net sales. For more information regarding the computation of EBITDA, EBITDA As Defined and adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share, please see the attached financial tables.

TransDigm Group presents these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that they are a useful indicator of its operating performance. TransDigm Group believes that EBITDA is useful to investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to measure operating performance among companies with different capital structures, effective tax rates and tax attributes, capitalized asset values and employee compensation structures, all of which can vary substantially from company to company. In addition, analysts, rating agencies and others use EBITDA to evaluate a company’s ability to incur and service debt. EBITDA As Defined is used to measure TransDigm Inc.’s compliance with the financial covenant contained in its credit

facility. TransDigm Group’s management also uses EBITDA As Defined to review and assess its operating performance and management team in connection with employee incentive programs and the preparation of its annual budget and financial projections. Moreover, TransDigm Group’s management uses EBITDA As Defined to evaluate acquisitions and as a liquidity measure. In addition, TransDigm Group’s management uses adjusted net income as a measure of comparable operating performance between time periods and among companies as it is reflective of changes in pricing decisions, cost controls and other factors that affect operating performance.

None of EBITDA, EBITDA As Defined, EBITDA As Defined Margin, adjusted net income or adjusted earnings per share is a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and such financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, earnings per share, cash flows from operating activities or other measures of performance determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, TransDigm Group’s calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
