Peter J. Gundermann, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The fourth quarter was a good one in many ways. We again achieved record revenue, margins were strong, orders were brisk, and we acquired Ballard, a leading designer and producer of avionics databus solutions for the aerospace industry. However, we had our share of disappointments during the quarter as well. We learned recently that the United States Air Force decided to cancel the VDATS procurement, which contributed to the $2.5 million write-down of goodwill and intangible assets in our test systems business. Additionally, the bankruptcy filing of American Airlines led to a $500,000 receivable reserve.”
Sales in the fourth quarter of 2011 were $61.2 million, up $9.3 million, or 18.0%, from the prior year fourth quarter. Aerospace sales, which represented approximately 95.2% of total fourth quarter sales, increased 24.5% over the prior year period to $58.2 million. Test Systems sales decreased to $2.9 million for the fourth quarter 2011 compared with $5.1 million in the 2010 fourth quarter. For the full year, sales for 2011 were $228.2 million, up $32.4 million, or 16.6%, from the same period last year. Aerospace sales of $213.9 million, which represented approximately 93.7% of 2011 sales, increased 19.1% over prior year sales of $179.6 million. Test Systems sales in 2011 were $14.3 million compared with $16.2 million in 2010.
Net income in the fourth quarter of 2011 was $5.2 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, compared with net income of $4.5 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, in the same period of last year. Net income for 2011 was $21.6 million, or $1.67 per diluted share, compared with net income of $14.9 million, or $1.20 per diluted share, in 2010.
Earnings per share for prior periods have been adjusted to reflect the impact of the one-for-ten Class B stock distribution to shareholders of record on August 16, 2011.
Consolidated operating margin in the 2011 fourth quarter was 12.3% compared with 12.4% in the prior year period. In the 2011 fourth quarter, Astronics recorded a non-cash pre-tax charge of $2.5 million, or $0.12 per diluted share after tax, for impairment of goodwill and intangible assets related to its Test Systems business. Leverage from increased sales in the 2011 fourth quarter was offset by the impairment charge as well as increased bad debt expense of $0.5 million related to the American Airlines’ bankruptcy and increased engineering and development (“E&D”) costs. E&D costs were $9.5 million in the 2011 fourth quarter compared with $7.3 million in the prior year’s fourth quarter.
Consolidated operating margin in 2011 increased to 13.5% from 12.5% in 2010, reflecting the leverage gained from increased sales offset partially by the impairment charge, increased E&D costs as well as higher selling, general and administrative costs (“SG&A”). SG&A costs increased primarily as a result of additional legal costs of $1.4 million, higher bad debt expenses of $0.5 million related to the American Airlines’ bankruptcy and increased compensation costs as compared with the prior year. E&D costs were $36.1 million and $28.3 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively.
The effective tax rate in the 2011 fourth quarter and full year periods were 28.0% and 25.6%, respectively. For the quarter and the year, the effective rate was below the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to research and development tax credits and the domestic production activity deduction.
Aerospace Segment Review (refer to sales by market and segment data in accompanying tables)
Fourth quarter and full year sales to the commercial transport market increased on higher demand for both cabin electronics products and aircraft lighting products. Fourth quarter military sales were relatively flat with the prior years’ fourth quarter, while full year 2011 military sales were up slightly, primarily as a result of higher airframe power sales, offset somewhat by lower aircraft lighting product sales. For the business jet market, fourth quarter sales increased slightly as increased airframe power sales were offset by a slight decrease of aircraft lighting sales. Increases to the business jet market in 2011 reflected higher sales of airframe power products. The decrease in 2011 fourth quarter and full year FAA/Airport sales was due to lower revenue from airport turnkey projects and lower order rates from the FAA. Sales from Ballard that are included in the fourth quarter results amounted to approximately $0.4 million.
Aerospace operating profit for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $12.2 million, or 20.9% of sales, compared with $7.8 million, or 16.8% of sales, in the same period last year. For the year, 2011 operating profit was $40.4 million, or 18.9% of sales, compared with $30.1 million, or 16.8% of sales, in 2010. The margin increase in the 2011 fourth quarter and year was due to the leverage gained from increased sales volume partially offset by higher E&D costs and increased SG&A costs. The primary increase of SG&A costs were related to legal, compensation costs and bad debt expense.
Bookings for the Aerospace segment during the fourth quarter were $54.0 million, up 33.9% from $40.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, and down 12.4% from bookings of $61.7 million in the trailing third quarter of 2011. Backlog at the end of the fourth quarter was $97.9 million of which $0.7 million was related to Ballard. Ballard’s backlog remained virtually unchanged from the date of acquisition to December 31, 2011.
Test Systems Segment Review (refer to sales by market and segment data in accompanying tables)
Sales in the 2011 fourth quarter decreased to $2.9 million when compared with $5.1 million for the same period in 2010. Sales for 2011 decreased to $14.3 million compared with $16.2 million for the same period last year.
Test Systems operating loss for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $3.4 million compared with an operating loss of $0.4 million in the same period last year. For the full year of 2011, Test Systems operating loss increased to $4.8 million compared with $1.8 million for 2010. The fourth quarter and full year loss reflects the $2.5 million impairment charge related to intangible assets and goodwill and lower sales volume.
Astronics learned recently that the United States Air Force decided to cancel the VDATS program, which the Company expected would be a large part of Test Systems’ activities in 2012. The loss of the program contributed to the write down of the Company’s Test Systems intangible assets and goodwill. There are $1.3 million of intangible assets remaining related to the Test Systems business.
Test Systems bookings in the fourth quarter were $2.5 million compared with $1.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, and down slightly from the trailing 2011 third quarter, which had bookings of $2.8 million. Backlog was $8.4 million at the end of the fourth quarter.
Balance Sheet
Cash at the end of the 2011 was $10.9 million compared with $22.7 million at the end of the prior year. The Company acquired Ballard Technology for approximately $24 million in cash. Additionally during 2011, Astronics acquired for approximately $10 million, the building that houses its Ft. Lauderdale operation and a partially completed building in Kirkland, WA for its Astronics AES subsidiary (“AES”). The Company expects to invest an additional $7 million to $9 million to build out the Kirkland, WA facility which AES plans to relocate to at the end of 2012.
Capital expenditures during the fourth quarter and twelve months of 2011 were $1.4 million and $14.3 million, respectively, compared with $1.0 million and $3.6 million in 2010, respectively.
In total, the Company expects capital spending in 2012 to be approximately $13 million to $16 million, which includes the cost to complete the Kirkland facility.
Outlook
On December 31, 2011, backlog was $106.3 million, improved over backlog of $99.8 million at the end of 2010, though down slightly from backlog of $110.2 million at the end of the trailing third quarter of 2011. Approximately 87% of the current backlog is expected to ship over the next four quarters.
Astronics expects sales in 2012 to be in the range of $235 million to $250 million. Astronics anticipates that approximately $225 million to $238 million of forecasted revenue will be from its Aerospace segment, while approximately $10 million to $12 million of the forecasted revenue will be from its Test Systems segment. The Company expects E&D expenditures for 2012, which are included in cost of goods sold, to be in the range of $36 million to $40 million.
