Neal J. Keating, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “I want to start by thanking our employees for their extraordinary efforts during this difficult time, and to re-emphasize our focus on maintaining their health, safety and well-being. Together we demonstrated our commitment to supporting our customers across the broad range of industries we serve. This commitment led to very strong results with first quarter consolidated sales from continuing operations up 24.6% to $207.3 million, which benefited from organic sales* growth across all of our major product categories of 10.5%. In addition to the significant increase in sales, we saw improved profitability over the prior year. During the quarter we recorded a loss per diluted share of $0.01 compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.20 in the prior year period. The loss in the current period is due to a number of significant items, including acquisition and purchase accounting costs for
Bal Seal, costs associated with our corporate development activities and restructuring and severance costs. When adjusted, Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations* was $0.48, a $0.27 increase over the adjusted result in the prior year period.

We began to feel the effects of COVID-19 during March and immediately took actions to implement strategies to minimize the impact on our operations. These included new processes and procedures to ensure safe and continuous production, including social distancing inside of our facilities, the use of appropriate PPE for employees on-site and segregating work groups to enable more effective contact tracing while limiting in facility interactions throughout the workday. We also transitioned to remote work for our office and other non-manufacturing employees. We have been pleased with the way our employees have responded and supported one another and our customers through this transition.

As of today, we have experienced and continue to expect some level of inefficiency as a result of the steps we have taken to respond to COVID-19 and to address the needs of our employees as they and their families navigate through these challenges. Additionally, we will continue to invest in our future and we do not anticipate a meaningful impact to our research and development programs as a result of COVID-19.

Due to the volatility of current market conditions, primarily across commercial aerospace, we have made the decision to withdraw our full year guidance. However we believe our first quarter performance highlights the benefits of our efforts to diversify our products and end markets. Our defense programs contribute approximately 50% of our sales and are expected to remain strong with opportunities emerging for additional growth over the remainder of the year. Commercial aerospace, at approximately 30% of sales, presents the biggest risk to our performance. In this end market our sales split is approximately 80% OEM and 20% aftermarket. We are adjusting our manufacturing plans to meet the expected decline in new commercial aircraft production rates, however, the impact to our aftermarket business is more difficult to predict. The remaining 20% of our sales is primarily focused on the medical and industrial end markets which we anticipate to have pockets of strength and weakness, particularly given the range of customer applications. While the depth and duration of a downturn in these end markets is difficult to predict, we expect them to be less impacted and recover more quickly than commercial aerospace.

Our first quarter performance speaks to the ability of the new Kaman to drive stronger operating results and the ability of our team to execute despite the challenges they faced as the quarter progressed. We were also pleased to complete the acquisition of
Bal Seal in January. The first quarter marks our first report with
Bal Seal, and the results for the business were in line with our expectations and above the results they posted in the prior year. With the addition of
Bal Seal, we have continued to strengthen our portfolio of highly engineered proprietary solutions serving defense, commercial aerospace, medical and industrial end markets, presenting a wide opportunity for growth going forward. This demonstrated strength positions us well for long-term growth and will enable us to better navigate the near-term challenges.”

Chief Financial Officer,
Robert D. Starr, commented, “We ended the quarter with a strong balance sheet. In March, as we evaluated the uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 outbreak, we elected to borrow $200 million under our $800 million revolving credit facility. At quarter end, we had available cash on hand of $270 million, significant remaining capacity under our revolving credit facility and no debt maturities until 2024. We will remain focused on maintaining our liquidity and strong balance sheet.

In light of the COVID-19 outbreak we have taken a number of steps to mitigate the potential impact on our business, including adjusting production needs to meet demand, reducing our discretionary spend, reducing salaries across our senior management team, and our non-employee directors have agreed to temporarily reduce their quarterly cash retainer payments.

Free cash flow usage in the quarter was driven by increased inventory spend as we prepare for deliveries over the course of 2020 and an increase in receivables due to the timing of collections. Additionally, we had employee related cash payments, including a $10.0 million pension contribution made in February. As we look ahead, Free Cash Flow* is expected to improve through the balance of the year as we begin to convert working capital build in the first half to cash. In addition, we have reduced discretionary spending and non-essential capital expenditures across the organization; however, we were built on innovation and we will continue to invest in research and development programs to position ourselves to capture market share and accelerate our long-term growth.”

Please see the MD&A section of the Company’s Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission concurrently with the issuance of this release for greater detail on our results and various company programs.

Non-GAAP Measures Disclosure

Management believes that the Non-GAAP financial measures (i.e. financial measures that are not computed in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) identified by an asterisk (*) used in this release or in other disclosures provide important perspectives into the Company’s ongoing business performance. The Company does not intend for the information to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures. Other companies may define the measures differently. We define the Non-GAAP measures used in this release and other disclosures as follows:

 

Organic Sales – Organic Sales is defined as ”
Net Sales” less sales derived from acquisitions completed during the preceding twelve months. We believe that this measure provides management and investors with a more complete understanding of underlying operating results and trends of established, ongoing operations by excluding the effect of acquisitions, which can obscure underlying trends. We also believe that presenting Organic Sales enables a more direct comparison to other businesses and companies in similar industries. Management recognizes that the term “Organic Sales” may be interpreted differently by other companies and under different circumstances. No other adjustments were made during the three-month fiscal periods ended April 3, 2020 and March 29, 2019, respectively. The following table illustrates the calculation of Organic Sales using the GAAP measure, ”
Net Sales”.

Adjusted
Net Sales from continuing operations and Adjusted Operating Income from continuing operations 
– Adjusted
Net Sales from continuing operations is defined as net sales from continuing operations, less items not indicative of normal sales, such as revenue recorded related to the settlement of claims. Adjusted Operating Income from continuing operations is defined as operating income from continuing operations, less items that are not indicative of the operating performance of the Company for the period presented. These items are included in the reconciliation below. Management uses Adjusted
Net Sales from continuing operations and Adjusted Operating Income from continuing operations to evaluate performance period over period, to analyze underlying trends and to assess our performance relative to our competitors. We believe that this information is useful for investors and financial institutions seeking to analyze and compare companies on the basis of operating performance. The following table illustrates the calculation of Adjusted Operating Income from continuing operations to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 11, 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations – Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is defined as earnings from continuing operations before interest, taxes, other expense (income), net, depreciation and amortization and certain items that are not indicative of the operating performance of the Company’s for the period presented. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations differs from earnings from continuing operations, as calculated in accordance with GAAP, in that it excludes interest expense, net, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, other expense (income), net, non-service pension and post retirement benefit expense (income), and certain items that are not indicative of the operating performance of the Company for the period presented. We have made numerous investments in our business, such as acquisitions and capital expenditures, including facility improvements, new machinery and equipment, improvements to our information technology infrastructure and ERP systems, which we have adjusted for in Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations also does not give effect to cash used for debt service requirements and thus does not reflect funds available for distributions, reinvestments or other discretionary uses. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations provides an additional perspective on the operating results of the organization and its earnings capacity and helps improve the comparability of our results between periods because it provides a view of our operations that excludes items that management believes are not reflective of operating performance, such as items traditionally removed from net earnings in the calculation of EBITDA as well as Other expense (income), net and certain items that are not indicative of the operating performance of the Company for the period presented. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is not presented as an alternative measure of operating performance, as determined in accordance with GAAP. No other adjustments were made during the three-month fiscal periods ended April 3, 2020 and March 29, 2019. The following table illustrates the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations using GAAP measures:

Adjusted Earnings from Continuing Operations and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations – Adjusted Earnings from Continuing Operations and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations are defined as GAAP “Earnings from Continuing Operations” and “Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations”, less items that are not indicative of the operating performance of the business for the periods presented. These items are included in the reconciliation below.

Free Cash Flow from continuing operations – Free Cash Flow from continuing operations is defined as GAAP “Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities from continuing operations” in a period less “Expenditures for property, plant & equipment” in the same period. Management believes Free Cash Flow from continuing operations provides an important perspective on our ability to generate cash from our business operations and, as such, that it is an important financial measure for use in evaluating the Company’s financial performance. Free Cash Flow from continuing operations should not be viewed as representing the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures such as dividends to shareholders or acquisitions, as it may exclude certain mandatory expenditures such as repayment of maturing debt and other contractual obligations. Management uses Free Cash Flow from continuing operations internally to assess overall liquidity. The following table illustrates the calculation of Free Cash Flow from continuing operations using “Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities from continuing operations” and “Expenditures for property, plant & equipment”, GAAP measures from the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in this release.

Debt to Capitalization Ratio – Debt to Capitalization Ratio is calculated by dividing debt by capitalization. Debt is defined as GAAP “Current portion of long-term debt” plus “Long-term debt, excluding current portion”. Capitalization is defined as Debt plus GAAP “Total shareholders’ equity”. Management believes that Debt to Capitalization Ratio is a measurement of financial leverage and provides an insight into the financial structure of the Company and its financial strength. The following table illustrates the calculation of Debt to Capitalization Ratio using GAAP measures from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets included in this release.

Please note that the Company held $270.7 million of “Cash and Cash Equivalents” on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of April 3, 2020. Netting this cash on hand against our debt would reduce the Debt to Capitalization Ratio to 12.4% as of April 3, 2020.
