  • Record fourth quarter and full year revenue of $135.2 million and $367.3 million, an increase of 54 percent and 17 percent year-over-year, respectively
  • Fourth quarter diluted earnings per share from continuing operations and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.73 and $0.75, an increase of 47 cents and 49 cents year-over-year, respectively
  • Record funded backlog of $208.1 million, providing strong momentum toward a fourth consecutive year of profitable growth

“Our team delivered outstanding results in our fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2020. We established new records for highest quarterly revenue, highest fiscal year revenue, and highest funded backlog for the full fiscal year 2020. With continued focus on our business strategy, coupled with excellent execution by our committed and talented team, we delivered our third consecutive year of profitable, double-digit topline growth,” said Wahid Nawabi, AeroVironment president and chief executive officer. “Strong growth in small unmanned aircraft systems revenue reflects continued global demand for our market leading UAS solutions, while significant progress in tactical missile systems and HAPS advances our strategy for long-term value creation.”

“We achieved numerous significant milestones this fiscal year, including successfully completing initial flight tests of the HAWK30 solar-HAPS system, securing the largest U.S. Army LMAMS order to date for our Switchblade system, successfully demonstrating a larger variant of Switchblade, progressing in the development of next generation autonomy capabilities and growing our international customer base to 50 allied nations. Presented with the unprecedented circumstances driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, our team continued to deliver exceptional results while maintaining a strong focus on safety and serving our customers around the world. We continue to build on our momentum as we enter fiscal year 2021 and are confident in our ability to enhance shareholder value over the near- and long-term,” Mr. Nawabi added.

FISCAL 2020 FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS

Revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 was $135.2 million, an increase of 54% from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 revenue of $87.9 million. The increase in revenue was due to an increase in product sales of $37.4 million and an increase in service revenue of $9.9 million.

Gross margin for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 was $53.2 million, an increase of 44% from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 gross margin of $37.0 million. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to an increase in product margin of $10.8 million and an increase in service margin of $5.3 million. As a percentage of revenue, gross margin decreased to 39% from 42%. The decrease in gross margin percentage was primarily due to an unfavorable product mix and an increase in intangible asset amortization expense of $0.7 million associated with our acquisition of Pulse Aerospace in June 2019.

Income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 was $21.3 million, an increase of $16.2 million from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 income from continuing operations of $5.1 million. The increase in income from continuing operations was primarily a result of an increase in gross margin of $16.1 million and a decrease in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense of $3.9 million, partially offset by an increase in research and development (“R&D”) expense of $3.9 million. SG&A expense for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 included impairment charges of $4.4 million related to the long-lived assets of our commercial UAS Quantix solution.

Other income, net, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 was $1.2 million compared to $2.8 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. The decrease in other income, net was primarily due to a decrease in income from transition services performed on behalf of the buyer of the discontinued EES business.

Provision for (benefit from) income taxes for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 was a provision of $2.6 million compared to a benefit of $0.1 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. The increase in provision for income taxes was primarily due to the increase in income before income taxes.

Equity method investment loss, net of tax, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 was $2.1 million compared to $1.9 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 primarily associated with our investment in HAPSMobile, Inc. joint venture formed in December 2017.

Net income attributable to AeroVironment for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 was $17.5 million compared to $5.7 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.

Earnings per diluted share from continuing operations attributable to AeroVironment for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 was $0.73 compared to $0.26 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.

Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share from continuing operations was $0.75 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to $0.26 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.

FISCAL 2020 FULL YEAR RESULTS

Revenue for fiscal 2020 was $367.3 million, an increase of 17% from fiscal 2019 revenue of $314.3 million. The increase in revenue was primarily due to an increase in product sales of $44.7 million and an increase in service revenue of $8.3 million.

Gross margin for fiscal 2020 was $153.1 million, an increase of 19% from fiscal 2019 gross margin of $128.4 million. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to an increase in product margin of $19.0 million and an increase in service margin of $5.7 million. As a percentage of revenue, gross margin increased to 42% from 41%. The increase in gross margin percentage was primarily due to an increase in the proportion of product sales to total revenue, partially offset by an increase in intangible asset amortization expense of $2.5 million associated with our acquisition of Pulse Aerospace in June 2019.

Income from continuing operations for fiscal 2020 was $47.1 million, an increase of 39% from fiscal 2019 income from continuing operations of $33.8 million. The increase in income from continuing operations was primarily a result of an increase in gross margin of $24.7 million and a decrease in SG&A expense of $0.9 million, partially offset by an increase in R&D expense of $12.2 million. SG&A expense for fiscal 2019 included impairment charges of $4.4 million related to the long-lived assets of our commercial UAS Quantix solution.

Other income, net for fiscal 2020 was $5.5 million compared to $16.7 million for fiscal 2019. The decrease in other income, net was primarily due to a one-time gain from a litigation settlement of $0.26 per diluted share in fiscal 2019 and a decrease in income from transition services performed on behalf of the buyer of the discontinued EES business.

Provision for income taxes for fiscal 2020 was $5.8 million compared to $4.6 million for fiscal 2019. The increase in provision for income taxes was primarily due to an increase in income before income taxes.

Equity method investment loss, net of tax for fiscal 2020 was $5.5 million compared to $3.9 million for fiscal 2019. The equity method loss is primarily associated with our investment in the HAPSMobile Inc. joint venture formed in December 2017.

Net income attributable to AeroVironment for fiscal 2020 was $41.1 million compared to $47.4 million for fiscal 2019. Fiscal 2019 included a one-time gain from a litigation settlement of $0.26 per diluted share.

Earnings per diluted share from continuing operations attributable to AeroVironment for fiscal 2020 was $1.72 compared to $1.74 for fiscal 2019. Fiscal 2019 included a one-time gain from a litigation settlement of $0.26 per diluted share.

Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share from continuing operations for fiscal 2020 was $1.84 compared to $1.48 for fiscal 2019 which excludes a one-time gain from a litigation settlement of $0.26 per diluted share.

BACKLOG

As of April 30, 2020, funded backlog (remaining performance obligations under firm orders for which funding is currently appropriated to us under a customer contract) was $208.1 million compared to $164.3 million as of April 30, 2019.

FISCAL 2021 — OUTLOOK FOR THE FULL YEAR

For fiscal 2021, the Company expects to generate revenue between $390 million and $410 million, operating margin of between 12% and 12.5%, and earnings per diluted share of $1.65 to $1.85. This financial guidance assumes approximately 7% ownership of the HAPSMobile joint venture. The Company expects non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, which excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, to be between $1.74 and $1.94.

The foregoing estimates are forward-looking and reflect management's view of current and future market conditions, including certain assumptions with respect to our ability to obtain and retain government contracts, changes in the timing and/or amount of government spending, changes in the demand for our products and services, activities of competitors, changes in the regulatory environment, and general economic and business conditions in the United States and elsewhere in the world. Investors are reminded that actual results may differ materially from these estimates.

Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Measures

The non-GAAP measure set forth above should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, the comparable GAAP measure, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Management believes that this measure provides useful information to investors by offering additional ways of viewing our results that, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure, help our investors to understand the long-term profitability trends of our business and compare our profitability to prior and future periods and to our peers. In addition, management uses this non-GAAP measure to measure our operating and financial performance.

We exclude the acquisition-related expenses and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets in fiscal 2020 and the one-time gain from a litigation settlement in fiscal 2019 because we believe this facilitates more consistent comparisons of operating results over time between our newly acquired and existing businesses, and with our peer companies. We believe, however, that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets contribute to revenue generation and that intangible asset amortization will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized.
