EAST AURORA, NY, March 2, 2023 – Astronics Corporation (Nasdaq: ATRO) (“Astronics” or the “Company”), a leading supplier of advanced technologies and products to the global aerospace, defense and other mission critical industries, today reported financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022.
Peter J. Gundermann, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Sales of
$158 million were above our expected range and validates both the recovery we are seeing in our commercial aerospace market as well as the progress being made with our supply chain. Bookings of $182 million demonstrates continued strong demand for our products and further substantiates our expectations for another 20% increase in sales in 2023. Although challenges remain, our supply chain continues to improve, which is necessary for us to meet our goals for the year.”
He added, “Margins remained under pressure in the quarter because of inflation and supply chain workarounds. We are passing on increased costs where we can although it will take time to roll through sales. We are expecting improvement in pricing as well as reduction in certain input costs as we advance through 2023.”

Fourth Quarter 2022 Results (compared with the prior-year period, unless noted otherwise)
Consolidated sales were up $42.1 million from the fourth quarter of 2021. Aerospace sales were up by $39.5 million, or 40.0%, while Test Systems sales increased $2.6 million.
Consolidated operating loss was $3.2 million, compared with operating loss of $8.7 million in the prior-year period. Reduced operating loss reflects higher sales volume, a $5.3 million decline in legal expenses, $2.9 million decline in 401k contribution expense and the benefit of a $1.5 million gain related to indemnification proceeds received during the quarter associated with a litigation settlement. This was offset by approximately $6 million to $7 million in material and labor inflation. The prior-year period operating loss benefited from a $7.5 million offset to cost of products sold from the Aviation Manufacturing Jobs Protection (“AMJP”) Program grant and a $5.0 million gain on the sale of a facility.
Consolidated net loss was $6.8 million, or $(0.21) per diluted share, compared with net income of
$1.6 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the prior year, which included a $10.7 million pre-tax gain from the sale of its semiconductor business.
Consolidated adjusted EBITDA increased to $4.3 million, or 2.7% of consolidated sales, compared with adjusted EBITDA loss of $0.8 million, or 0.7% of consolidated sales, in the prior-year period.
Bookings were $182.4 million in the quarter resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of 1.15:1. Backlog of
$571.4 million at quarter end was at record levels for the fifth consecutive quarter. Approximately
$451.4 million of backlog is expected to ship in 2023.
Aerospace Segment Review (refer to sales by market and segment data in accompanying tables)
Aerospace Fourth Quarter 2022 Results (compared with the prior-year period, unless noted otherwise)
Aerospace segment sales increased $39.5 million, or 40.0%, to $138.3 million. Commercial transport sales increased 76.0%, or $44.4 million, and drove the improvement. Sales to this market were
$102.8 million, or 65.0% of consolidated sales in the quarter, compared with $58.4 million, or 50.4% of consolidated sales in the fourth quarter of 2021. Improving domestic and regional airline travel that is driving higher fleet utilization and increased narrowbody production rates drove demand for Astronics’ products.

Military Aircraft sales decreased $2.3 million, or 14.7%, to $13.2 million. The prior-year period benefited from incremental non-recurring engineering revenue associated with development programs and higher sales of avionics products.
General Aviation sales decreased $0.9 million, or 5.8%, to $14.6 million. Other revenue decreased
$1.7 million to $7.6 million driven by decreased contract manufacturing programs.
Aerospace segment operating profit improved to $5.2 million compared with operating loss of $2.3 million in the same period last year. The increase in operating profit was driven by higher volume primarily in the commercial transport market, $7.1 million reduction in legal expenses, approximately $2.5 million lower 401K costs and a $1.5 million gain related to indemnification proceeds received during the quarter related to a litigation settlement which was recorded as an offset to SG&A expense. These were partially offset by the effects of material and labor inflation. The prior-year period operating loss benefited from a
$7.5 million offset to cost of products sold from the Aviation Manufacturing Jobs Protection (“AMJP”) Program grant, and a $5.0 million gain on the sale of a facility.
Aerospace bookings in the fourth quarter of 2022 were $151.7 million for a book-to-bill ratio of 1.10:1. While bookings declined 8.5% sequentially, they improved 2.7% from the prior year’s comparator quarter continuing the elevated level of orders realized with the ongoing recovery of the commercial airline industry. Backlog for the Aerospace segment was a record $477.7 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2022.
Test Systems Segment Review (refer to sales by market and segment data in accompanying tables)
Test Systems Fourth Quarter Results (compared with the prior-year period, unless noted otherwise)
Test Systems segment sales were $19.8 million, up $2.6 million compared with the prior-year period driven by higher defense revenue.
Test Systems segment operating loss was $4.0 million compared with operating loss of $1.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The higher operating loss was primarily attributable to mix and underabsorption of fixed costs due to volume, $1.8 million in increased legal expenses related to an ongoing litigation claim, and investments in staffing in preparation for the expected contract award from the U.S. Army. As previously disclosed, Astronics Test Systems was selected as the down select winner for the development of its Radio Test Set referred to as TS-4549/T. The Test Systems segment has been investing in significant new development programs which are expected to result in more profitable business in the near future.
Bookings for the Test Systems segment in the quarter were $30.7 million, for a book-to-bill ratio of 1.55:1 for the quarter. Backlog was $93.7 million at the end of 2022 compared with backlog of $81.0 million at the end of 2021.
Liquidity and Financing
Cash on hand at the end of the quarter was $13.8 million and capital expenditures in the quarter were $3.4 million. Net debt was $150.2 million, compared with $133.2 million at the end of 2021.
On January 19, 2023, the Company announced it had completed a financing transaction totaling
$205 million, which refinanced its previous revolving credit facility that was scheduled to mature in November 2023. The new financing consists of a $90 million asset-based term loan and a $115 million asset-based revolving credit facility. The term loan has a scheduled maturity of January 19, 2027, an interest rate of SOFR plus 8.75% and is collateralized primarily by real estate, fixed assets and intellectual property. The revolving credit facility has a scheduled maturity of January 19, 2026, an interest rate of SOFR plus 2.25% to 2.75% and is collateralized primarily by inventory and accounts receivable.

Amortization of the term loan principal will begin in April 2023 with a monthly amortization rate of 0.292% of the outstanding term loan principal balance for the period April 1, 2023 through June 1, 2023, increasing to 0.542% per month for the period July 1, 2023 through September 1, 2023 then increasing to 0.833% thereafter.
The new capitalization provided post-closing available liquidity of approximately $35 million, net of required minimum liquidity of $20 million through the date of delivery of the compliance certificate for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, which will then revert to $10 million thereafter. The Company was cash flow positive in the fourth quarter, and expects to remain so in 2023.
2023 Outlook
Mr. Gundermann commented, “We are maintaining our earlier revenue guidance of $640 million to
$680 million for 2023. The midpoint of this range would represent growth of 23% for the year, slightly higher than the 20% growth achieved in 2022. We are encouraged by our fourth quarter revenue performance, our record backlog, and continued strong demand which is now benefitting from a recovery in the widebody/long-haul market. The first quarter is expected to be our lightest with revenue in the range of $140 million to $150 million. We expect subsequent quarterly revenue to be in the range of $160 million to $185 million, increasing throughout the year.”
He concluded, “Our ability to meet forecast for 2023 will certainly depend on the cooperation of our supply chain, which we perceive is slowly improving. Challenges certainly remain, but our supply base is getting more predictable and the ratio of positive surprises relative to negative surprises is getting higher. We have plenty of backlog for 2023, and believe our supply chain is on track to support our expected revenue range.”
Planned capital expenditures for 2023 are expected to be in the range of $17 million to $20 million.

Reconciliation to Non-GAAP Performance Measures
In addition to reporting net income, a U.S. generally accepted accounting principle (“GAAP”) measure, we present Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash equity-based compensation expense, goodwill, intangible and long-lived asset impairment charges, equity investment income or loss, legal reserves, settlements and recoveries, restructuring charges, gains or losses associated with the sale of businesses and grant benefits recorded related to the AMJP program), which is a non-GAAP measure. The Company’s management believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of operating performance because it allows management, investors and others to evaluate and compare the performance of its core operations from period to period by removing the impact of the capital structure (interest), tangible and intangible asset base (depreciation and amortization), taxes, equity-based compensation expense, goodwill, intangible and long-lived asset impairment charges, equity investment income or loss, legal reserves, settlements and recoveries, customer accommodation settlements, lease termination settlements, restructuring charges, fair value adjustments to the valuation of contingent consideration liabilities, gains or losses associated with the sale of businesses and grant benefits recorded related to the AMJP program, which is not commensurate with the core activities of the reporting period in which it is included. As such, the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of performance when evaluating its business and as a basis for planning and forecasting. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and is not calculated through the application of GAAP. As such, it should not be considered as a substitute for the GAAP measure of net income and, therefore, should not be used in isolation of, but in conjunction with, the GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may produce results that vary from the GAAP measure and may not be comparable to a similarly defined non-GAAP measure used by other companies.
