Acquisition of GECO Avionics, LLCOn January
29th, 2019, the Company also announced the acquisition of GECO
Avionics, LLC (“GECO”). Based in Mesa, AZ, GECO has over twenty
years of experience designing and manufacturing affordable
safety-critical avionics and mission computing solutions. GECO’s
DO-254 certified hardware solutions include mission processors,
airborne displays, video processing and aviation networking. GECO
also specializes in DO-178 avionics software design up to DAL-A,
the highest level of design assurance for flight management,
aircraft condition monitoring, display and electronic flight
instrumentation applications. GECO’s technologies are deployed on
numerous military platforms such as the AH-64 Apache attack
helicopter and the KC-46A Pegasus widebody multirole tanker, among
others.
Mercury acquired GECO for an all cash purchase price of $36.5
million, subject to net working capital and net debt adjustments.
The acquisition and associated transaction expenses were funded
through Mercury’s existing revolving credit facility.
“The acquisition of GECO complements our acquisitions of
Creative Electronic Systems (“CES”), based in Geneva, Switzerland,
and Richland Technologies (“RTL”), based in Duluth, GA,” said Mark
Aslett, Mercury’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Combined,
these three acquisitions significantly expand our footprint in
mission computing and platform management. The safety-critical
capabilities these companies provide, along with our
high-performance sensor processing solutions and embedded security
features will enable us to deliver a compelling combination of
electronics offerings that are in high demand from our customers.
These new capabilities continue to expand Mercury’s addressable
market in the C4I market segment. We are the only high tech
commercial company we know of that has brought all of these
capabilities together,” Aslett concluded.
Business OutlookThis section presents our
current expectations and estimates, given current visibility, on
our business outlook for the current fiscal quarter and fiscal year
2019. It is possible that actual performance will differ materially
from the estimates given, either on the upside or on the downside.
Investors should consider all of the risks with respect to these
estimates, including those listed in the Safe Harbor Statement
below and in the Second Quarter Fiscal 2019 Earnings Presentation
and in our periodic filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission, and make themselves aware of how these risks may impact
our actual performance.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2019, inclusive of the
acquisition of GECO, revenues are forecasted to be in the range of
$162.7 million to $167.7 million. GAAP net income for the third
quarter is expected to be approximately $10.8 million to $12.3
million, or $0.23 to $0.26 per share, assuming no incremental
restructuring, acquisition, other non-operating adjustments or
non-recurring financing related expenses in the period, an
effective tax rate of approximately 27%, excluding discrete items,
and approximately 47.9 million weighted average diluted shares
outstanding. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of fiscal 2019
is expected to be in the range of $34.8 million to $36.8 million.
Adjusted EPS is expected to be in the range of $0.43 to $0.46 per
share.
For the full fiscal year 2019, we currently expect revenue of
$631.0 million to $646.0 million, and GAAP net income of $42.6
million to $46.1 million, or $0.89 to $0.96 per share, assuming no
incremental restructuring, acquisition, other non-operating
adjustments or non-recurring financing related expenses in the
period, an effective tax rate of approximately 27%, excluding
discrete items, and approximately 47.8 million weighted average
diluted shares outstanding. Adjusted EBITDA for the full fiscal
year is expected to be approximately $138.6 million to $143.5
million, and adjusted EPS for the full fiscal year is expected to
be approximately $1.72 to $1.80 per share.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresIn addition
to reporting financial results in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, the Company provides
adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income, adjusted earnings per share
(“adjusted EPS”), free cash flow, organic revenue and acquired
revenue, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA,
adjusted income, and adjusted EPS exclude certain non-cash and
other specified charges. The Company believes these non-GAAP
financial measures are useful to help investors understand its past
financial performance and prospects for the future. However, these
non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for financial information provided in accordance with
GAAP. Management believes these non-GAAP measures assist in
providing a more complete understanding of the Company’s underlying
operational results and trends, and management uses these measures
along with the corresponding GAAP financial measures to manage the
Company’s business, to evaluate its performance compared to prior
periods and the marketplace, and to establish operational goals. A
reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial results discussed in
this press release is contained in the attached exhibits.

UNAUDITED SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION RECONCILIATION OF GAAP
TO NON-GAAP MEASURES |
(In thousands) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure for reporting financial
performance, excludes the impact of certain items and, therefore,
has not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management
believes that exclusion of these items assists in providing a more
complete understanding of the Company’s underlying results and
trends, and management uses these measures along with the
corresponding GAAP financial measures to manage the Company’s
business, to evaluate its performance compared to prior periods and
the marketplace, and to establish operational goals. The
adjustments to calculate this non-GAAP financial measure, and the
basis for such adjustments, are outlined below:
Other non-operating adjustments. The Company records other
non-operating adjustments such as gains or losses on foreign
currency remeasurement and fixed asset sales or disposals among
other adjustments. These adjustments may vary from period to period
without any direct correlation to underlying operating
performance.
Interest income and expense. The Company receives interest
income on investments and incurs interest expense on loans, capital
leases and other financing arrangements. These amounts may vary
from period to period due to changes in cash and debt balances and
interest rates driven by general market conditions or other
circumstances outside of the normal course of Mercury’s
operations.
Income taxes. The Company’s GAAP tax expense can fluctuate
materially from period to period due to tax adjustments that are
not directly related to underlying operating performance or to the
current period of operations.
Depreciation. The Company incurs depreciation expense
related to capital assets purchased to support the ongoing
operations of the business. These assets are recorded at cost
or fair value and are depreciated using the straight-line method
over the useful life of the asset. Purchases of such assets may
vary significantly from period to period and without any direct
correlation to underlying operating performance.
Amortization of intangible assets. The Company incurs
amortization of intangibles related to various acquisitions it has
made and license agreements. These intangible assets are valued at
the time of acquisition, are amortized over a period of several
years after acquisition and generally cannot be changed or
influenced by management after acquisition.
Restructuring and other charges. The Company incurs
restructuring and other charges in connection with management’s
decisions to undertake certain actions to realign operating
expenses through workforce reductions and the closure of certain
Company facilities, businesses and product lines. The Company’s
adjustments reflected in restructuring and other charges are
typically related to acquisitions and organizational redesign
programs initiated as part of discrete post-acquisition integration
activities. Management believes these items are non-routine and may
not be indicative of ongoing operating results.
Impairment of long-lived assets. The Company incurs
impairment charges of long-lived assets based on events that may or
may not be within the control of management. Management believes
these items are outside the normal operations of the Company's
business and are not indicative of ongoing operating results.
Acquisition and financing costs. The Company incurs
transaction costs related to acquisition and potential acquisition
opportunities, such as legal, accounting, and other third party
advisory fees. Although we may incur such third-party costs
and other related charges and adjustments, it is not indicative
that any transaction will be consummated. Additionally, the Company
incurs unused revolver and bank fees associated with maintaining
its credit facility. The Company also incurs non-cash financing
expenses associated with obtaining its credit facility. Management
believes these items are outside the normal operations of the
Company’s business and are not indicative of ongoing operating
results.
Fair value adjustments from purchase accounting. As a
result of applying purchase accounting rules to acquired assets and
liabilities, certain fair value adjustments are recorded in the
opening balance sheet of acquired companies. These adjustments
are then reflected in the Company’s income statements in periods
subsequent to the acquisition. In addition, the impact of any
changes to originally recorded contingent consideration amounts are
reflected in the income statements in the period of the change.
Management believes these items are outside the normal operations
of the Company and are not indicative of ongoing operating
results.
Litigation and settlement income and expense. The Company
periodically receives income and incurs expenses related to pending
claims and litigation and associated legal fees and potential case
settlements and/or judgments. Although we may incur such
costs and other related charges and adjustments, it is not
indicative of any particular outcome until the matter is fully
resolved. Management believes these items are outside the normal
operations of the Company’s business and are not indicative of
ongoing operating results. The Company periodically receives
warranty claims from customers and makes warranty claims towards
its vendors and supply chain. Management believes the expenses and
gains associated with these recurring warranty items are within the
normal operations and operating cycle of the Company's business.
Therefore, management deems no adjustments are necessary unless
under extraordinary circumstances.
Stock-based and other non-cash compensation expense. The
Company incurs expense related to stock-based compensation included
in its GAAP presentation of cost of revenues, selling, general and
administrative expense and research and development expense. The
Company also incurs non-cash based compensation in the form of
pension related expenses. Although stock-based and other non-cash
compensation is an expense of the Company and viewed as a form of
compensation, these expenses vary in amount from period to period,
and are affected by market forces that are difficult to predict and
are not within the control of management, such as the market price
and volatility of the Company’s shares, risk-free interest rates
and the expected term and forfeiture rates of the awards, as well
as pension actuarial assumptions. Management believes that
exclusion of these expenses allows comparisons of operating results
to those of other companies, both public, private or foreign, that
disclose non-GAAP financial measures that exclude stock-based
compensation and other non-cash compensation.
Mercury uses adjusted EBITDA as an important indicator of the
operating performance of its business. Management excludes
the above-described items from its internal forecasts and models
when establishing internal operating budgets, supplementing the
financial results and forecasts reported to the Company’s board of
directors, determining the portion of bonus compensation for
executive officers and other key employees based on operating
performance, evaluating short-term and long-term operating trends
in the Company’s operations, and allocating resources to various
initiatives and operational requirements. The Company believes that
adjusted EBITDA permits a comparative assessment of its operating
performance, relative to its performance based on its GAAP results,
while isolating the effects of charges that may vary from period to
period without any correlation to underlying operating performance.
The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial adjustments are
useful to investors because they allow investors to evaluate the
effectiveness of the methodology and information used by management
in its financial and operational decision-making. The Company
believes that trends in its adjusted EBITDA are valuable indicators
of its operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not
be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial
information provided in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP
financial measure may not be computed in the same manner as
similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company
expects to continue to incur expenses similar to the adjusted
EBITDA financial adjustments described above, and investors should
not infer from the Company’s presentation of this non-GAAP
financial measure that these costs are unusual, infrequent or
non-recurring.
The following table reconciles the most directly comparable GAAP
financial measure to the non-GAAP financial measure.

(1) As of
July 1, 2018, the Company has revised its definition of adjusted
EBITDA to incorporate other non-operating adjustments, net, which
includes gains or losses on foreign currency remeasurement and
fixed assets sales and disposals among other adjustments. Adjusted
EBITDA for prior periods has been recast for comparative
purposes. |
|
Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure for reporting cash flow, is
defined as cash provided by operating activities less capital
expenditures and, therefore, has not been calculated in accordance
with GAAP. Management believes free cash flow provides investors
with an important perspective on cash available for investment and
acquisitions after making capital investments required to support
ongoing business operations and long-term value creation. The
Company believes that trends in its free cash flow are valuable
indicators of its operating performance and liquidity.
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial
information provided in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP
financial measure may not be computed in the same manner as
similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company
expects to continue to incur expenditures similar to the free cash
flow financial adjustment described above, and investors should not
infer from the Company’s presentation of this non-GAAP financial
measure that these expenditures reflect all of the Company's
obligations which require cash.

Adjusted income and adjusted earnings per share (“adjusted EPS”)
are non-GAAP measures for reporting financial performance, exclude
the impact of certain items and, therefore, have not been
calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that
exclusion of these items assists in providing a more complete
understanding of the Company’s underlying results and trends and
allows for comparability with our peer company index and industry.
These non-GAAP financial measures may not be computed in the same
manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies. The
Company uses these measures along with the corresponding GAAP
financial measures to manage the Company’s business and to evaluate
its performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace. The
Company defines adjusted income as income before amortization of
intangible assets, restructuring and other charges, impairment of
long-lived assets, acquisition and financing costs, fair value
adjustments from purchase accounting, litigation and settlement
income and expense, and stock-based and other non-cash compensation
expense. The impact to income taxes includes the impact to the
effective tax rate, current tax provision and deferred tax
provision (1). Adjusted EPS expresses adjusted income on a per
share basis using weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

Organic revenue and acquired revenue are non-GAAP measures for
reporting financial performance of its business. Management
believes this information provides investors with insight as to the
Company’s ongoing business performance. Organic revenue represents
total company revenue excluding net revenue from acquired companies
for the first four full quarters since the entities’ acquisition
date (which excludes intercompany transactions). Acquired revenue
represents revenue from acquired companies for the first four full
quarters since the entities' acquisition date (which excludes
intercompany transactions). After the completion of four full
fiscal quarters, acquired revenue is treated as organic for current
and comparable historical periods.

The Company defines adjusted income as income before
amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and other charges,
impairment of long-lived assets, acquisition and financing costs,
fair value adjustments from purchase accounting, litigation and
settlement income and expense, and stock-based and other non-cash
compensation expense. The impact to income taxes includes the
impact to the effective tax rate, current tax provision and
deferred tax provision (1). Adjusted EPS expresses adjusted
income on a per share basis using weighted average diluted shares
outstanding.
