Fiscal 2016 First Quarter Results
 

VALENCIA, Calif., February 4, 2016 — Wesco Aircraft Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: WAIR), a leading provider of comprehensive supply chain management services to the global aerospace industry, today announced results for its fiscal 2016 first quarter.
Fiscal 2016 First Quarter Highlights
 
Net sales of $359.8 million, down four percent
Net sales excluding currency effects of $366.1 million, down two percent
Net income of $20.6 million, or $0.21 per diluted share
Adjusted net income of $24.2 million, or $0.25 per diluted share
Adjusted EBITDA of $45.6 million, or 12.7 percent of net sales
 
Dave Castagnola, president and chief executive officer, said, “Fiscal 2016 first quarter results reflect progress in all areas of our business. Sales in the quarter were adversely impacted by the conclusion in fiscal 2015 of a large commercial contract that was previously disclosed, as well as currency movements. Excluding these items, sales were approximately three percent higher than the first quarter of last year due to growth in contract revenue. Sales activities continue to advance; we have renewed long-term contracts with increased business, and more opportunities are in the pipeline. While these wins are primarily expected to benefit fiscal 2017 and 2018, they also are a key part of our sales growth strategy in fiscal 2016.
"Actions taken under our cost reduction plan yielded a significant reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses in the fiscal 2016 first quarter compared to the same period last year. We are delivering on our plan to take out costs, while driving productivity improvements throughout the company. Our site and supply consolidation activities are on schedule; we have closed or consolidated 12 facilities, with more planned this year as we reposition the company for efficiency and growth, and to better serve our customers. In addition, we continue to make headway with activities designed to improve inventory management and cash flow, while better aligning our future investments with the needs of our customers.”
Fiscal 2016 First Quarter Results
Net sales in the fiscal 2016 first quarter were $359.8 million, compared to $373.7 million in the prior-year first quarter. Net sales excluding the impact of currency movements decreased two percent in the fiscal 2016 first quarter, primarily due to sales of approximately $19 million in the fiscal 2015 first quarter under a large commercial hardware contract that ended on March 31, 2015, as previously disclosed. Excluding the impact of this contract and currency, sales were approximately three percent higher in the fiscal 2016 first quarter due to growth in several commercial and military contracts.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in the fiscal 2016 first quarter were $45.6 million, compared with $48.8 million in the same period last year. The decline was primarily



due to a decrease in gross profit, partially offset by a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A).
Gross profit was nine percent lower in the first quarter of fiscal 2016, compared to the same period last year, principally due to the impact of the large commercial contract discussed above and foreign currency movements.
SG&A in the fiscal 2016 first quarter decreased 11 percent compared to the same period last year, primarily due to lower personnel and related expenses resulting from the company's cost reduction plan. SG&A as a percent of sales was 16.5 percent in the first quarter compared to 17.8 percent in the same period last year.
Adjusted EBITDA was 12.7 percent of net sales in the fiscal 2016 first quarter, compared to 13.1 percent in the same period last year.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.25 in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 was consistent with the same period last year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were impacted by the same items discussed above in adjusted EBITDA, offset by lower income tax and interest expense. The company's effective tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 was reduced by a favorable mix of taxable income across jurisdictions and discrete tax items. Interest expense was lower as a result of debt repayments over the past year.
Free cash flow was $9.5 million in the fiscal 2016 first quarter, compared with $10.0 million in the same period last year.
Fiscal 2016 Outlook
Castagnola added, "We continue to expect the underlying business to achieve above-market expansion through focused sales activities, offsetting declines previously disclosed to yield low single-digit net sales growth in fiscal 2016. We remain on track to achieve cost savings of $25 million to $30 million, which we expect to be the primary driver of our EBITDA margin improvement target of approximately 100 basis points in fiscal 2016. We also continue to expect free cash flow to exceed 100 percent of net income."

 Non-GAAP Financial Information

2


Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before: (i) income tax provision, (ii) net interest expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization and (iv) unusual or non-recurring items.
Adjusted net income represents net income before: (i) amortization of intangible assets, (ii) amortization or write-off of deferred financing costs and original issue discount, (iii) unusual or non-recurring items and (iv) the tax effect of items (i) through (iii) above calculated using an estimated effective tax rate.
Adjusted basic earnings per share represents basic earnings per share calculated using adjusted net income as opposed to net income.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share represents diluted earnings per share calculated using adjusted net income as opposed to net income.
Net sales excluding currency effects represent net sales for the fiscal 2016 first quarter translated at fiscal 2015 first quarter exchange rates.
Free cash flow represents cash from operations less purchases of property and equipment.
Wesco Aircraft utilizes and discusses adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, adjusted diluted earnings per share, net sales excluding currency effects and free cash flow, which are non-GAAP measures management uses to evaluate the company’s business, because it believe these measures assist investors and analysts in comparing the company’s performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that management does not believe are indicative of core operating performance. Wesco Aircraft believes these metrics are used in the financial community, and the company presents these metrics to enhance understanding of its operating performance. Readers should not consider adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income as alternatives to net income, determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indicator of operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, adjusted diluted earnings per share, net sales excluding currency effects and free cash flow are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP, and these metrics may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. See Exhibits 4 and 5 for reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, adjusted diluted earnings per share and net sales excluding currency effects to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

These personnel costs totaled $5.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014. The reclassification had no impact on income from operations, net income or EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2014.
