Astronics Segment Sales and Bookings (Graphic: Business Wire)

Peter J. Gundermann, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We had a very strong start to the year with first quarter revenue up 18% over the comparator quarter and easily beating our guidance for the quarter. Our financial results demonstrate our improved performance with first quarter adjusted EBITDA of $19 million, or 10.3% of sales. In addition, we had very strong bookings during the quarter, resulting in another record backlog. We are encouraged with the strong start to 2024 and believe we are well positioned to enjoy continued tailwinds throughout the remainder of the year.”

First Quarter 2024 Results (compared with the prior-year period, unless noted otherwise)

Consolidated sales were up $28.5 million, or 18.2%. Aerospace sales increased $28.0 million, or 20.7%, driven by increased demand in our Electrical Power & Motion product line. Test Systems sales increased $0.5 million.

Consolidated operating income was $1.7 million, compared with operating loss of $2.4 million in the prior-year period. Improved operating income reflects higher sales volume, partially offset by $3.6 million in non-cash stock bonuses as the Company’s bonus programs resumed. The prior-year period operating loss benefited from a $5.8 million liability reversal of a deferred revenue liability that increased sales in the Test Segment.

In the first quarter of 2023, the Company recognized a $3.4 million gain from the final earnout payment for the 2019 sale of its semiconductor test business, as well as $1.8 million within Other Income associated with the reversal of a liability related to an equity investment.

Consolidated net loss was $3.2 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared with net loss of $4.4 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the prior year. Tax benefit in the quarter was $1.4 million, compared with tax expense of $1.3 million in the prior year.

Consolidated adjusted EBITDA increased to $19.1 million, or 10.3% of consolidated sales, compared with adjusted EBITDA of $6.1 million, or 3.9% of consolidated sales, in the prior-year period primarily as a result of higher sales.

Bookings were $205.3 million in the quarter resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of 1.11:1. For the trailing twelve months, bookings totaled $771.6 million and the book-to-bill ratio was 1.08:1.

Aerospace Segment Review (refer to sales by market and segment data in accompanying tables)

Aerospace First Quarter 2024 Results (compared with the prior-year period, unless noted otherwise)

Aerospace segment sales increased $28.0 million, or 20.7%, to $163.6 million. The improvement was driven by a 28.9% increase, or $27.2 million, in commercial transport sales. Sales to this market were $121.4 million, or 65.6% of consolidated sales in the quarter, compared with $94.2 million, or 60.2% of consolidated sales in the first quarter of 2023. Higher airline spending and higher OEM build rates drove increased demand.

Military aircraft sales increased $3.0 million, or 21.4%, to $17.1 million. General Aviation sales increased $0.1 million, or 0.5%, to $19.6 million.

Aerospace segment operating profit of $12.1 million, or 7.4% of sales, compares with operating profit of $4.1 million, or 3.0% of sales, in the same period last year. Operating margin expansion reflects the leverage gained on higher volume and improving production efficiencies. Operating profit in the first quarter of 2024 was impacted by a $1.9 million increase in litigation-related legal expenses related to an ongoing patent dispute and the resumption of the Company’s bonus programs, which was $2.4 million.

Aerospace bookings were $185.3 million for a book-to-bill ratio of 1.13:1. Backlog for the Aerospace segment was a record $538.9 million at quarter end.

Mr. Gundermann commented, “We are seeing strong demand for our Aerospace products and technologies as the commercial aerospace industry continues to recover. The volume drives the strong operating leverage inherent in our business. Importantly as well, our workforce is stabilizing, our production efficiencies are improving and pricing has improved. As a result, and given our record Aerospace backlog, we expect sales and margins to continue to improve significantly as we move through 2024.”

Test Systems Segment Review (refer to sales by market and segment data in accompanying tables)

Test Systems First Quarter 2024 Results (compared with the prior-year period, unless noted otherwise)

Test Systems segment sales were $21.4 million, up $0.5 million.

Test Systems segment operating loss was $3.1 million, compared to operating loss of $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2023. Absent the sales adjustment resulting from the reversal of the deferred revenue liability, Test Systems operating loss for the prior-year period was $6.4 million. Test Systems’ operating loss continues to be negatively affected by mix and under absorption of fixed costs due to volume. The first quarter of 2024 included a $2.7 million decrease in litigation-related expenses partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in non-cash bonuses.

Given the continued delay in expected project awards, in April 2024 the Test Systems segment implemented additional restructuring initiatives to align the workforce and management structure with near-term revenue expectations and operational needs. These initiatives are expected to provide annualized savings of approximately $4 million, beginning in the third quarter.

Bookings for the Test Systems segment in the quarter were $20.0 million for a book-to-bill ratio of 0.93:1 for the quarter. Backlog was $73.6 million at the end of the first quarter of 2024 compared with a backlog of $86.3 million at the end of the first quarter of 2023.

Mr. Gundermann commented, “Our Test business began the year with revenue of $21.4 million, up $0.5 million over the first quarter of 2023 which benefited from $5.8 million in revenue from a reversal of a deferred revenue liability. Absent that impact, sales increased $6.3 million. The business has made good progress on a significant award opportunity with the U.S. Army, but there is more work to do. Shortly after the quarter ended, we took the necessary step to more closely align our cost structure with near-term financial expectations.”

Liquidity and Financing

Available liquidity at the end of the quarter was $22.9 million. Capital expenditures in the quarter were $1.6 million. Net debt was $160.0 million down from $161.2 million at December 31, 2023.

Cash provided by operations was $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2024 despite an $8.8 million increase in inventory which was primarily related to increased shipments scheduled for the remainder of 2024.

The Company executed a minor amendment to its credit agreement in late March 2024 to reestablish a $5 million accordion which had expired in January, and to better align certain covenant requirements to accommodate the rolling twelve-month financials. An additional $5 million of liquidity will be made available shortly following the filing of first quarter financial results and required documentation with lenders.

The Company did not sell any shares during the quarter via its ATM facility, which has $8 million of capacity remaining.

David Burney, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, said, “We continue to make good progress with cash conversion through disciplined working capital management. Our inventory level of growth has moderated, while being carefully managed to build as needed with increased demand. Our receivables and accounts payable are in much better shape than they were through most of 2023. We believe we have sufficient liquidity to meet our current needs as we prepare for the acceleration we expect later in the year.”

2024 Outlook

The Company expects second quarter revenue to be in the range of $185 million to $195 million. The Company is maintaining its 2024 revenue guidance of approximately $760 million to $795 million. The midpoint of this range would be a 13% increase over 2023 sales. In maintaining guidance, Astronics expects to manage the broad and persuasive tailwinds across the business against the risk related to aircraft production rates.

Backlog at the end of the first quarter was a record $612.5 million, of which approximately $511.8 million is expected to ship in 2024. This represents about 86% of expected sales for the remainder of 2024 at the mid-point of the range, a relatively high level compared with historic experience.

Planned capital expenditures in 2024 are expected to be in the range of $17 million to $22 million.

Peter Gundermann commented, “We are feeling good about 2024. Our first quarter was stronger than expected, suggesting that our supply chain is continuing to improve and our team is getting more efficient. We believe that continued strong demand and customer enthusiasm will drive growth in coming quarters, which we expect to drive cash generation and improved profitability. We still have a ways to go, but our feeling today is that 2024 will be a year of strong growth and margin improvement for Astronics Corporation.”

In the quarter ended April 1, 2023, $5.8 million was recognized in sales related to the reversal of a deferred revenue liability recorded with a previous acquisition within our Test Systems Segment.

2

 

Net gain on sale of business for the quarter ended April 1, 2023 is comprised of the additional gain on the sale of the Company’s former semiconductor test business resulting from the contingent earnout for the 2022 calendar year.

3

 

Other expense (income) for the quarter ended April 1, 2023 includes income of $1.8 million associated with the reversal of a liability related to an equity investment, as we will no longer be required to make the associated payment.

Reconciliation to Non-GAAP Performance Measures

In addition to reporting net income, a U.S. generally accepted accounting principle (“GAAP”) measure, we present Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash equity-based compensation expense, goodwill, intangible and long-lived asset impairment charges, equity investment income or loss, legal reserves, settlements and recoveries, restructuring charges, gains or losses associated with the sale of businesses and grant benefits recorded related to the AMJP program), which is a non-GAAP measure. The Company’s management believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of operating performance because it allows management, investors and others to evaluate and compare the performance of its core operations from period to period by removing the impact of the capital structure (interest), tangible and intangible asset base (depreciation and amortization), taxes, equity-based compensation expense, goodwill, intangible and long-lived asset impairment charges, equity investment income or loss, non-cash reserves related to customer bankruptcy filings, legal reserves, settlements and recoveries, litigation-related expenses, restructuring charges, gains or losses associated with the sale of businesses and grant benefits recorded related to the AMJP program, which is not commensurate with the core activities of the reporting period in which it is included. As such, the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of performance when evaluating its business and as a basis for planning and forecasting. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and is not calculated through the application of GAAP. As such, it should not be considered as a substitute for the GAAP measure of net income and, therefore, should not be used in isolation of, but in conjunction with, the GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may produce results that vary from the GAAP measure and may not be comparable to a similarly defined non-GAAP measure used by other companies.
