CLEVELAND, May 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- TransDigm Group Incorporated TDG, a leading global designer, producer and supplier of highly engineered aircraft components, today reported results for the second quarter ended March 30, 2019.

Highlights for the second quarter include:

  • Net sales of $1,195.9 million, up 28.2% from $933.1 million;
  • Net income from continuing operations of $202.4 million, up 0.3% from $201.8 million;
  • Earnings per share from continuing operations of $3.60, down 0.8% from $3.63;
  • EBITDA As Defined of $571.8 million, up 23.5% from $463.1 million;
  • Adjusted earnings per share of $4.21, up 11.1% from $3.79; and
  • Upward revision to fiscal 2019 sales, EBITDA As Defined and adjusted earnings per share guidance.

During the quarter, on March 14, 2019, TransDigm completed the acquisition of Esterline Technologies Corporation ESL, a supplier of products to the global aerospace and defense industry. Esterline shareholders received $122.50 per share in cash, without interest in a transaction valued at approximately $4 billion in total consideration, including the pay off of Esterline debt.

Also during the quarter, on February 13, 2019 TransDigm completed the private offerings of $4.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 and $550 million aggregate principal amount of 7.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2027.

The net proceeds of the $4.0 billion secured notes were used to both fund the purchase price of the Esterline acquisition and to allow for substantial near term financial flexibility.

The net proceeds from the $550 million of subordinated notes were used to redeem all of the Company's outstanding senior subordinated notes due 2020 and replaced them with notes due 2027.

These events above significantly impacted certain year-over-year comparisons.

Net sales for the quarter rose 28.2%, or $262.8 million, to $1,195.9 million from $933.1 million in the comparable quarter a year ago. Organic sales growth was 11.0%. Acquisition sales contributed $160.4 million, of which $122.0 million were from Esterline for the 17 days of ownership in the quarter.

Net income from continuing operations for the quarter increased 0.3% to $202.4 million, or $3.60 per share, compared to $201.8 million, or $3.63 per share, in the comparable quarter a year ago. The increase in net sales described above was offset primarily by higher interest expense and effective tax rate related to the new debt issued to fund the purchase of Esterline as well as to allow for substantial near term financial flexibility. Higher operating costs and acquisition-related expenses attributable to Esterline also had a negative impact on net income. Excluding these negative impacts, the strong operating performance of the core TransDigm business would have translated to higher net income and earnings per share growth.

Adjusted net income for the quarter increased 12.4% to $237.0 million, or $4.21 per share, from $210.8 million, or $3.79 per share, in the comparable quarter a year ago.

EBITDA for the quarter increased 15.9% to $509.4 million from $439.4 million for the comparable quarter a year ago.  EBITDA As Defined for the period increased 23.5% to $571.8 million compared with $463.1 million in the comparable quarter a year ago.  EBITDA As Defined as a percentage of net sales for the quarter was 47.8%. Esterline contributed $26.7 million of EBITDA As Defined in the current quarter. Excluding Esterline,  EBITDA As Defined as a percentage of net sales for the quarter was 50.8%.

"We are pleased with our second quarter results and the strength of our base business," stated Kevin Stein, TransDigm Group's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Organic revenue growth was 11% in the quarter driven by good growth across all major end markets. Our core EBITDA As Defined, excluding the dilutive impact of Esterline and the acquisitions completed in fiscal 2018, continued to expand sequentially and over the prior year period to 51.5% in the quarter.

In addition to the focus on our base business, it was a busy quarter with the completion of the Esterline acquisition, our largest acquisition to date. Our second quarter results include $122 million of revenue and $27 million of EBITDA As Defined reflecting 17 days of Esterline ownership. Please note the implied Esterline margin from this short period is higher than should be expected for the balance of the fiscal year primarily due to an elevated level of shipments at quarter end."

He continued, "Lastly, our decision in the quarter to borrow substantial additional funds impacted our quarterly net income, but we believe the significant near term flexibility and attractive cost will serve us well in the future."

Year-to-Date Results

Net sales for the twenty-six week period ended March 30, 2019 rose 22.9%, or $408.2 million, to $2,189.2 million from $1,781.0 million in the comparable period last year. Organic sales growth was 11.3%.

Net income from continuing operations for the twenty-six week period ended March 30, 2019 declined 22.5% to $398.5 million, or $6.65 per share, compared to $513.9 million, or $8.23 per share, in the comparable period last year. The increase in net sales was more than offset by a higher effective tax rate of 22.9% for the current year compared to (17.3%) for the twenty-six week period ended March 31, 2018.  The prior year period was favorably impacted by the enactment of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (tax reform) and  included a one-time provisional net tax benefit of $147.1 million, or $2.65 per share. To a lesser extent, higher interest expense and acquisition-related costs also negatively impacted net income.

Earnings per share were reduced in both 2019 and 2018 by $0.43 per share and $1.01 per share, respectively, representing dividend equivalent payments made during each year.

Adjusted net income for the twenty-six week period ended March 30, 2019 decreased 13.0% to $453.3 million, or $8.06 per share, from $520.9 million, or $9.37 per share, in the comparable period a year ago. Adjusted earnings per share in the prior fiscal year included $2.65 per share of one-time favorable impact from the enactment of tax reform. Excluding this favorable tax impact, current earnings per share increased 19.9% over $6.72 per share in the prior year.

EBITDA for the twenty-six week period ended March 30, 2019 increased 17.6% to $966.6 million from $822.0 million for the comparable period a year ago.  EBITDA As Defined for the period increased 22.4% to $1,058.4 million compared with $864.7 million in the comparable period a year ago.  EBITDA As Defined as a percentage of net sales for the period was 48.3%.  Esterline contributed $26.7 million of EBITDA As Defined in the current year. Excluding Esterline, EBITDA As Defined as a percentage of net sales for the current period was 49.9%.

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.

Fiscal 2019 Outlook

Mr. Stein stated, "We are increasing our full year guidance to include the strong year-to-date performance of our base business and 6.5 months of the lower margin Esterline acquisition, partially offset by the impact of the financing activities completed during the quarter." Assuming no additional acquisitions, and based on current market conditions, TransDigm now expects fiscal 2019 financial guidance to be as follows:

  • Net sales are anticipated to be in the range of $5,395 million to $5,485 million compared with $3,811 million in fiscal 2018 (an increase of $1,250 million at the mid-point);
  • Net income from continuing operations is anticipated to be in the range of $686 million to $724 million compared with $962 million in fiscal 2018 (a decrease of $169 million at the mid-point) (1) ;
  • Earnings per share from continuing operations is expected to be in the range of $11.75 to $12.43 per share based upon weighted average shares outstanding of 56.3 compared with $16.28 per share in fiscal 2018 (a decrease of $3.01 at the mid-point) (1);
  • EBITDA As Defined is anticipated to be in the range of $2,325 million to $2,365 million compared with $1,877 million in fiscal 2018 (an increase of $255 million at the mid-point); and
  • Adjusted earnings per share is expected to be in the range of $16.47 to $17.15 per share compared with $17.83 per share in fiscal 2018 (an increase of $0.05 at the mid-point).
  • Other key financial expectations for fiscal 2019 guidance:
    • Net interest expense of $880 million; and
    • GAAP and cash effective tax rate of 24% to 25%; adjusted tax rate of 26%.

(1) Fiscal 2018 net income includes a one-time provisional benefit of $146.4 million, or $2.63 per share due to the enactment of tax reform. Excluding the one-time provisional tax benefit, fiscal 2018 earnings per share from continuing operations would be $13.65 per share.

Please see the attached table 6 for a reconciliation of EBITDA, EBITDA As Defined to net income and reported earnings per share to adjusted earnings per share guidance mid-point estimated for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019. Additionally, please see the attached table 7 for comparison of the current fiscal year 2019 guidance versus the previously issued fiscal year 2019 guidance.

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, refinancing costs, 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, effects from the sale on businesses, refinancing costs, 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. 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 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.

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 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.
