TransDigm Group Reports Fiscal 2021 Fourth Quarter And Year-End Results
Cleveland, Ohio, November 16, 2021/PRNewswire/ -- TransDigm Group Incorporated (NYSE: TDG), a leading global designer, producer and supplier of highly engineered aircraft components, today reported results for the fourth quarter ended September 30, 2021.
Fourth quarter highlights include:
•Net sales of $1,279 million, up 9% from $1,173 million in the prior year's quarter;
•Income from continuing operations of $209 million, up 107% from $101 million;
•Earnings per share from continuing operations of $3.58, up 103% from $1.76;
•EBITDA As Defined of $636 million, up 28% from $498 million;
•EBITDA As Defined margin of 49.7%, representing sequential improvement;
•Adjusted earnings per share of $4.25, up 47% from $2.89 in the prior year's quarter; and
•Strong operating cash flow generation of $289 million.
Fiscal 2021 highlights include:
•Net sales of $4,798 million, down 6% from $5,103 million in the prior fiscal year;
•Income from continuing operations of $681 million, up 4% from $653 million;
•Earnings per share from continuing operations of $10.41, up 28% from $8.14;
•EBITDA As Defined of $2,189 million, down 4% from $2,278 million;
•EBITDA As Defined margin of 45.6%, up 100 basis points from the prior fiscal year; and
•Adjusted earnings per share of $12.13, down 16% from $14.47 in the prior fiscal year.
While the Company is not providing full financial guidance at this time as a result of the continued disruption in our primary commercial end markets, today’s earnings call will include guidance on select financial metrics for fiscal 2022 including EBITDA As Defined margins, expected defense market revenue growth, tax rates, and select other financial assumptions.
Quarter-to-Date Results
Net sales for the quarter increased 9.0%, or $106 million, to $1,279 million from $1,173 million in the comparable quarter a year ago. Organic sales growth was 10.0%.
Income from continuing operations for the quarter increased $108 million, or 106.9%, to $209 million from $101 million in the comparable quarter a year ago. The increase in income from continuing operations primarily reflects the increase in net sales described above, favorable sales mix and lower COVID-19 restructuring costs, partially offset by a higher effective tax rate.
Adjusted net income for the quarter increased 49.4% to $248 million, or $4.25 per share, from $166 million, or $2.89 per share, in the comparable quarter a year ago.

EBITDA for the quarter increased 48.1% to $613 million from $414 million for the comparable quarter a year ago. EBITDA As Defined for the quarter increased 27.7% to $636 million compared with $498 million in the comparable quarter a year ago. EBITDA As Defined as a percentage of net sales for the quarter was 49.7%, representing sequential improvement versus the third fiscal quarter of 2021.
“Trends remain favorable for the recovery of the commercial aerospace industry. Air traffic continues to improve globally, along with vaccination rates. The recovery remains primarily driven by domestic air travel, though international travel restrictions are starting to soften in certain markets, which is encouraging," stated Kevin Stein, TransDigm Group's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to see advancement in our commercial aftermarket revenues with another quarter of sequential improvement. This recovery in our commercial aftermarket revenues, along with our steady focus on our operating strategy and management of our cost structure, has led to continued sequential expansion of our EBITDA As Defined margin despite this challenging commercial environment."
Year-to-Date Results
Fiscal 2021 net sales declined 6.0%, or $305 million, to $4,798 million from $5,103 million in fiscal 2020. Organic sales declined 7.4%. Net acquisition and divestiture sales growth was $75 million over the comparable prior year period.
Fiscal 2021 income from continuing operations was $681 million, an increase of 4.3% compared to $653 million in fiscal 2020. The increase in income from continuing operations primarily reflects the net gain on sale recognized as a result of the divestitures completed during fiscal 2021, a lower effective tax rate and realization of our COVID-19 cost mitigation efforts, partially offset by the decline in net sales described above, and higher non-cash stock compensation expense and interest expense.
GAAP earnings per share were reduced in fiscal 2021 and 2020 by $1.24 per share and $3.22 per share, respectively, as a result of dividend equivalent payments made during each year. As a reminder, GAAP earnings per share are reduced when TransDigm makes dividend equivalent payments pursuant to the Company's stock option plans. These dividend equivalent payments are made during the Company's first fiscal quarter each year and also upon payment of any special dividends.
Fiscal 2021 adjusted net income decreased 14.6% to $708 million, or $12.13 per share, from $829 million, or $14.47 per share, in fiscal 2020.
Fiscal 2021 EBITDA decreased 1.2% to $2,027 million from $2,052 million in fiscal 2020. EBITDA As Defined for the period decreased 3.9% to $2,189 million compared with $2,278 million in fiscal 2020. EBITDA As Defined as a percentage of net sales for fiscal 2021 was 45.6%.
The effective tax rate for the full-year fiscal 2021 was 4.7% compared to 11.7% in fiscal 2020. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2021 was positively impacted by the release of the valuation allowance applicable to the net interest deduction limitation carryforward and the discrete impact of excess tax benefits associated with share-based payments.

Mr. Stein continued, "I am very pleased with our teams' performance throughout fiscal 2021. Although this year continued to be significantly impacted by the disruption in the commercial aerospace industry caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we remained diligent in driving value for our stakeholders. Encouraging commercial air travel trends cause us to be optimistic for the continued recovery of the commercial aerospace industry in the upcoming year. Although uncertainty remains about the shape and pace of recovery, we believe that in time the commercial aerospace industry and our business will fully recover and expand into the future. We look forward to fiscal 2022 and the opportunity to create value for our stakeholders."
Please see the attached tables for a reconciliation of income from continuing operations 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.
Fiscal 2022 Outlook
Given the considerable uncertainty around the extent and duration of business disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our primary commercial OEM and commercial aftermarket end markets, the Company will not provide full fiscal year 2022 guidance at this time. Information regarding fiscal 2022 EBITDA As Defined margins, expected defense market revenue growth, tax rates, interest expense, capital expenditures and select accounting information is included in the slide presentation available for today's earnings 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 recorded as corporate expenses, including non-cash compensation charges incurred in connection with TransDigm Group's stock incentive plans, restructuring costs related to TransDigm Group's cost reduction measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, foreign currency gains and losses, acquisition-integration costs, acquisition and divestiture transaction-related expenses, and refinancing costs. COVID-19 restructuring costs represent actions taken by the Company to reduce its workforce to align with customer demand, as well as incremental costs related to the pandemic that are not expected to recur once the pandemic has subsided and are clearly separable from normal operations (e.g., additional cleaning and disinfecting of facilities by contractors above and beyond normal requirements, personal protective equipment). Acquisition and divestiture-related costs represent accounting adjustments to inventory associated with acquisitions of businesses and product lines that were charged to cost of sales when the inventory was sold; costs incurred to integrate acquired businesses and product lines into the Company’s operations, facility relocation costs and other acquisition-related costs; transaction-related costs for both acquisitions and divestitures comprising deal fees; legal, financial and tax diligence expenses and valuation costs that are required to be expensed as incurred and other acquisition accounting adjustments. TransDigm Group defines adjusted net income as net income plus purchase accounting backlog amortization expense, effects from the sale on businesses, non-cash compensation charges incurred in connection with TransDigm Group's stock incentive plans, restructuring costs related to TransDigm Group's cost reduction measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, foreign currency gains and losses, acquisition-integration costs, acquisition transaction-related expenses, and refinancing costs. EBITDA As Defined Margin represents EBITDA As Defined as a percentage of net sales. TransDigm Group defines adjusted diluted earnings per share as adjusted net income divided by the total shares for basic and diluted earnings per share. 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 useful indicators 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, to prepare its annual budget and financial projections and to review and evaluate its management team in connection with employee incentive programs. 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 U.S. 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 U.S. 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.
Although we use EBITDA and EBITDA As Defined as measures to assess the performance of our business and for the other purposes set forth above, the use of these non-GAAP financial measures as analytical tools has limitations, and you should not consider any of them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations as reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
• | neither EBITDA nor EBITDA As Defined reflects the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements, necessary to service interest payments on our indebtedness; | ||||||||||
• | although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and neither EBITDA nor EBITDA As Defined reflects any cash requirements for such replacements; | ||||||||||
• | the omission of the substantial amortization expense associated with our intangible assets further limits the usefulness of EBITDA and EBITDA As Defined; | ||||||||||
• | neither EBITDA nor EBITDA As Defined includes the payment of taxes, which is a necessary element of our operations; and | ||||||||||
• | EBITDA As Defined excludes the cash expense we have incurred to integrate acquired businesses into our operations, which is a necessary element of certain of our acquisitions. | ||||||||||
