Wesco Aircraft Holdings Reports Fiscal 2016 Third Quarter Results

VALENCIA, Calif., Aug. 04, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wesco Aircraft Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: WAIR ), the world's leading provider of comprehensive supply chain management services to the global aerospace industry, today announced results for its fiscal 2016 third quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Fiscal 2016 Third Quarter Highlights

  • Net sales of $375.2 million, up 1.8 percent
  • Net sales excluding currency effects of $381.3 million, up 3.4 percent
  • Net income of $24.0 million, or $0.24 per diluted share
  • Adjusted net income of $28.5 million, or $0.29 per diluted share
  • Income from operations of $40.0 million, or 10.7 percent of net sales
  • Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of $50.9 million, or 13.6 percent of net sales
  • Net cash provided by operating activities of $51.8 million; free cash flow of $47.8 million

Dave Castagnola, president and chief executive officer, said, “We continue to see steady improvement in our business. Fiscal 2016 third quarter sales were higher year-over-year, driven by increased customer production rates, scope expansion and new business on long-term contracts. The pace of new business wins has been increasing in fiscal 2016, as we continue to demonstrate and deliver on our value proposition with large commercial, military and MRO customers. These wins are expected to lead to continued sales growth in fiscal 2017 and 2018.

“The ongoing benefit of cost reduction actions resulted in a further decline in selling, general and administrative expenses in the fiscal 2016 third quarter, which led to an improved operating margin compared to the same period last year. Cash from operating activities and free cash flow in the fiscal 2016 third quarter increased sequentially compared to the first half of the year, primarily due to anticipated improvements in working capital. As a result, we paid down long-term debt by $46 million in the third quarter, which brought debt repayments to $76 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2016.”

Fiscal 2016 Third Quarter Results

Net sales in the fiscal 2016 third quarter were $375.2 million, compared with $368.7 million in the prior-year third quarter. Net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency movements increased 3.4 percent year-over-year in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, primarily due to a mid-single-digit increase in contract sales; ad-hoc sales were essentially flat compared to the same period last year.

Gross profit decreased 4.0 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, compared with the same period last year, principally due to the impact of foreign currency movements, chemical commodity-based index changes and inventory adjustments.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses in the fiscal 2016 third quarter decreased 11.9 percent compared to the same period last year, primarily due to lower people-related costs, bad debt expense, professional fees and the impact of foreign currency movements. SG&A expense as a percentage of net sales was 15.8 percent in the third quarter, compared with 18.2 percent in the same period last year.

Income from operations totaled $40.0 million, or 10.7 percent of net sales, in the fiscal 2016 third quarter. This compares with $36.2 million, or 9.8 percent of net sales, in the same period last year. The increase in operating income and margin was primarily due to lower SG&A expenses, partially offset by the decline in gross profit.

Other income (expense), net is primarily comprised of unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss associated with contracts denominated in currencies other than the respective currency of the company’s reporting subsidiaries. In the fiscal 2016 third quarter, foreign exchange gains of $2.6 million were included in other income, net. Conversely, foreign exchange losses of $2.6 million were included in other expense, net in the fiscal 2015 third quarter. The largest impact in both periods was the change in the British pound.

The company's effective tax rate was 28.0 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, compared with 32.6 percent in the year-ago quarter, primarily due to a favorable mix of taxable income across jurisdictions and discrete tax items.

Net income was $24.0 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, in the fiscal 2016 third quarter, compared with net income of $16.5 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, in the same period last year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.29, compared with $0.22 in the prior-year third quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA in the fiscal 2016 third quarter was $50.9 million, higher than $42.6 million in the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA was 13.6 percent of net sales, compared with 11.6 percent in the same period last year.

Fiscal 2016 Year-to-Date Results

Net sales in the nine months ended June 30, 2016 of $1.1 billion were 1.4 percent lower than the same period last year. Net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency movements increased 0.2 percent, and were 2.6 percent higher excluding both currency effects and the net impact of the previously disclosed large commercial contract that ended on March 31, 2015.

Income from operations was $118.5 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2016, or 10.7 percent of net sales, compared with $119.8 million, or 10.6 percent of net sales, in the same period last year. The net change reflects a reduction in SG&A expenses, partially offset by lower gross profit.

Net income in the first nine months of fiscal 2016 was $68.1 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, compared with $59.3 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, in the same period last year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.82 in the first nine months of fiscal 2016, compared with $0.76 in the same period last year.

Adjusted EBITDA in the nine months ended June 30, 2016 was $147.2 million, or 13.2 percent of net sales, compared with $146.2 million, or 13.0 percent of net sales, in the same period last year.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $66.6 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2016, compared with $83.9 million in the same period last year. Free cash flow was $55.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2016, compared with $79.2 million in the same period last year. The free cash flow conversion ratio was 81 percent of net income in the nine months ended June 30, 2016, compared with 134 percent in the same period last year.

Fiscal 2016 Outlook

Wesco Aircraft remains committed to its fiscal 2016 financial goals. However, sales mix in the first nine months of the year and increased currency pressure create challenges to achieving these goals. The company is taking actions to address these challenges, primarily through incremental cost savings, as well as expected benefits from chemical commodity index and pricing changes.

Net sales are expected to grow at a low-single-digit pace; contract sales are expected to deliver greater growth in the business, partially offsetting the previously disclosed decline from the conclusion of a large commercial contract in fiscal 2015. Cost reductions of $25.0 million to $30.0 million are expected to be the primary driver of the company’s EBITDA margin improvement target of approximately 100 basis points. Finally, free cash flow is anticipated to exceed 100 percent of net income.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before: (i) income tax provision, (ii) net interest expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization and (iv) unusual or non-recurring items.

Adjusted net income represents net income before: (i) amortization of intangible assets, (ii) amortization or write-off of deferred financing costs and original issue discount, (iii) unusual or non-recurring items and (iv) the tax effect of items (i) through (iii) above calculated using an estimated effective tax rate.

Adjusted basic earnings per share represent basic earnings per share calculated using adjusted net income as opposed to net income.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share represent diluted earnings per share calculated using adjusted net income as opposed to net income.

Net sales excluding currency effects represent net sales for the fiscal 2016 third quarter and year-to-date translated at the corresponding fiscal 2015 periodical average exchange rates.

Net sales excluding currency effects and large commercial contract represent net sales for the fiscal 2016 year-to-date period translated at the corresponding fiscal 2015 periodical average exchange rates, further adjusted to remove sales under a commercial hardware contract that ended on March 31, 2015 and sales in fiscal 2016 that were related to this contract.

Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment.

Wesco Aircraft utilizes and discusses adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, adjusted diluted earnings per share, net sales excluding currency effects, net sales excluding currency effects and large commercial contract and free cash flow, which are non-GAAP measures management uses to evaluate the company’s business, because it believes these measures assist investors and analysts in comparing the company’s performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that management does not believe are indicative of core operating performance. Wesco Aircraft believes these metrics are used in the financial community, and the company presents these metrics to enhance understanding of its operating performance. Readers should not consider adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income as alternatives to net income, determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indicator of operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, adjusted diluted earnings per share, net sales excluding currency effects, net sales excluding currency effects and large commercial contract and free cash flow are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP, and these metrics may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. See Exhibits 4, 5 and 6 for reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, adjusted diluted earnings per share, net sales excluding currency effects, net sales excluding currency effects and large commercial contract and free cash flow to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
