Ducommun Reports Results for the Fourth Quarter Ended December 31, 2016

LOS ANGELES, March 06, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ducommun Incorporated (NYSE: DCO ) (“Ducommun” or the “Company”) today reported results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2016.

Fourth Quarter 2016 Highlights

  • Fourth quarter revenue was $142.5 million
  • Operating income was $9.0 million
  • GAAP net income for the quarter was $2.8 million, or $0.25 per diluted share
  • Adjusted net income for the quarter was $5.1 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, which excludes a $1.2 million final pre-tax net working capital adjustment and a $1.0 million tax adjustment related to divestitures
  • Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $15.1 million
  • Cash flow from operations for the quarter was $15.8 million
  • Backlog increased to $600 million
  • Net voluntary principal prepayments on credit facilities totaled $10 million during the quarter -  for a net total of $75 million in voluntary principal prepayments during 2016

“Ducommun again posted improved operating results and excellent cash flow during the quarter, paying down an additional $10 million in debt before year end,” said Stephen G. Oswald, president and chief executive officer. “For 2016 as a whole, we eliminated $75 million of indebtedness, and our backlog rose to $600 million due to recent commercial aerospace awards - leaving us very well positioned for 2017 and beyond.

“Looking back, the Company took a number of decisive steps in 2016 that streamlined and focused our operations, and I’m excited to lead this innovative organization going forward. In 2017, the higher commercial platform build rates expected later this year, along with the potential for increased defense spending, make me confident we have a strong foundation to leverage our leading position in composites, titanium, and advanced electronics.”

Fourth Quarter Results

Net revenue for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $142.5 million, compared to $156.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. The year-over-year decline was due to the following:

  • $17.5 million lower revenue within the Company’s industrial, medical and other (“Industrial”) end-use markets mainly due to the divestiture of the Pittsburgh operation in January 2016 and closure of the Houston operation in December 2015; and
  • $4.5 million lower revenue within the Company’s military and space end-use markets mainly due to the divestiture of the Miltec operation in March 2016; partially offset by
  • $7.8 million higher revenue in the Company’s commercial aerospace end-use markets mainly due to added content with existing customers.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $2.8 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(65.2) million, or $(5.88) per share, for the fourth quarter of 2015. The fourth quarter of 2016 included a $1.2 million (pre-tax) net working capital adjustment for which there was no related tax benefit and a $1.0 million tax adjustment related to the finalization of a divestiture. The impact of these two non-recurring items was $2.2 million or $0.20 per diluted share.

The increase in net income for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to the fourth quarter of 2015 was primarily due to the following:

  • $57.2 million non-cash pre-tax goodwill impairment charge within the Structural Systems segment recorded in the fourth quarter of 2015;
  • $32.9 million non-cash pre-tax charge related to the impairment of an indefinite-lived trade name within the Electronic Systems segment recorded in the fourth quarter of 2015; and
  • Improved operating performance in the fourth quarter of 2016; partially offset by
  • $28.0 million higher income tax expense.

Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $27.8 million, or 19.5% of revenue, compared to gross profit of $22.8 million, or 14.6% of revenue, for the fourth quarter of 2015. The higher gross margin percentage year-over-year was primarily due to improved product mix (reflecting the aforementioned divestitures), ongoing supply chain initiatives, and improved operating performance.

Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $9.0 million, or 6.3% of revenue, compared to an operating loss of $(88.6) million, or (56.6)% of revenue, for the comparable period in 2015. The increase in operating income in the fourth quarter of 2016 was primarily due to the items that affected operating income (loss) described in net income (loss) above.

Interest expense decreased slightly to $2.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $2.2 million in the previous year’s fourth quarter, primarily due to a lower outstanding debt balance as a result of net voluntary principal prepayments on the Company’s credit facilities.

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $15.1 million, or 10.6% of revenue, compared to $11.0 million, or 7.1% of revenue, for the comparable period in 2015.

During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company generated $15.8 million of cash from operations, compared to $11.6 million during the fourth quarter of 2015. The increase in cash flow from operations in the fourth quarter of 2016 was primarily due to the higher net income.

Business Segment Information

Structural Systems

Structural Systems reported net revenue for the current quarter of $60.8 million, compared to $61.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. The slight decrease year-over-year was primarily due to a $2.9 million decline in military and space revenue, reflecting program delays and budget changes which impacted scheduled deliveries on the Company’s fixed-wing and helicopter platforms. This decline was partially offset by a $2.8 million increase in the Company’s commercial aerospace revenue, mainly due to added content with existing customers.

Structural Systems reported operating income for the current fourth quarter of $3.2 million, or 5.2% of revenue, compared to an operating loss of $(56.0) million, or (91.8)% of revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2015. The increase in operating income was primarily due to the fact that the prior year quarter included a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $57.2 million and the current year period benefited from higher operating margins.

Adjusted EBITDA was $5.2 million for the current quarter, or 8.5% of revenue, compared to $4.6 million, or 7.6% of revenue, for the comparable quarter in 2015.

Electronic Systems

Electronic Systems reported net revenue for the current quarter of $81.7 million, compared to $95.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. The lower net revenue year-over-year was primarily due to the following:

  • $17.5 million decrease in Industrial revenue mainly due to the divestiture of the Company’s Pittsburgh operation in January 2016 and closure of the Houston operation in December 2015; and
  • $1.5 million decrease in military and space revenue mainly due to the divestiture of the Company’s Miltec operation in March 2016; partially offset by
  • $5.1 million increase in commercial aerospace revenue mainly due to added content with the Company’s existing customers.

Electronic Systems operating income for the current year fourth quarter was $9.2 million, or 11.3% of revenue, compared to an operating loss of $(27.0) million, or (28.3)% of revenue, for the fourth quarter of 2015. The increase in operating income year-over-year was primarily due to the following:

  • Fourth quarter 2015 included a non-cash charge related to the impairment of the indefinite-lived trade name intangible asset of $32.9 million; and
  • Higher operating margins in the fourth quarter of 2016 as a result of the aforementioned divestitures and improved operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA was $12.8 million for the current quarter, or 15.7% of revenue, compared to $11.3 million, or 11.8% of revenue, in the comparable quarter in 2015.

Corporate General and Administrative (“CG&A”) Expense

CG&A expense for the current fourth quarter was $3.4 million, or 2.4% of total Company revenue, compared to $5.6 million, or 3.6% of total Company revenue, in the comparable quarter in 2015. The decrease in CG&A expense in the current year quarter was primarily due to lower professional fees of $1.7 million and lower compensation and benefit costs of $0.5 million.
