CLEVELAND, Feb. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- TransDigm Group Incorporated (NYSE:TDG), a leading global designer, producer and supplier of highly engineered aircraft components, today reported results for the first quarter ended December 30, 2023.

First quarter highlights include:

Net sales of $1,789 million, up 28% from $1,397 million in the prior year's quarter;
Net income of $382 million, up 67% from the prior year's quarter;
Earnings per share of $4.87, up 46% from the prior year's quarter;
EBITDA As Defined of $912 million, up 30% from $699 million in the prior year's quarter;
EBITDA As Defined margin of 51.0%;
Adjusted earnings per share of $7.16, up 56% from $4.58 in the prior year's quarter; and
Upward revision to fiscal 2024 net sales and EBITDA As Defined guidance.

Quarter-to-Date Results

Net sales for the quarter increased 28.1%, or $392 million, to $1,789 million from $1,397 million in the comparable quarter a year ago. Organic sales growth as a percentage of net sales was 23.5%.

Net income for the quarter increased $153 million, or 66.8%, to $382 million from $229 million in the comparable quarter a year ago. The increase in net income primarily reflects the increase in net sales described above and the application of our value-driven operating strategy. The increase was partially offset by higher income tax expense, higher interest expense and higher non-cash stock and deferred compensation expense.

GAAP earnings per share were reduced in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and 2023 by $1.75 per share and $0.67 per share, respectively, as a result of dividend equivalent payments made during each quarter. As a reminder, GAAP earnings per share are reduced when TransDigm makes dividend equivalent payments pursuant to the Company's stock option plans. These dividend equivalent payments are made during the Company's first fiscal quarter each year and also upon payment of any special dividends, such as the $35.00 per share special dividend paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

Adjusted net income for the quarter increased 58.2% to $413 million, or $7.16 per share, from $261 million, or $4.58 per share, in the comparable quarter a year ago.

EBITDA for the quarter increased 32.2% to $859 million from $650 million for the comparable quarter a year ago. EBITDA As Defined for the quarter increased 30.5% to $912 million compared with $699 million in the comparable quarter a year ago. EBITDA As Defined as a percentage of net sales for the quarter was 51.0% compared with 50.0% in the comparable quarter a year ago.

"I am very pleased with our first quarter operating results and strong start to the fiscal year," stated Kevin Stein, TransDigm Group's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Total revenue ran ahead of our expectations and our commercial aftermarket revenues further expanded. Our EBITDA As Defined margin was 51.0% for the quarter, up approximately 100 basis points from the comparable prior year period. Excluding the results related to Calspan, acquired May 2023, our first quarter EBITDA As Defined margin was approximately 51.8%. As always, we remain focused on our operating strategy, value drivers and effectively managing our cost structure. We look forward to the opportunity to continue creating value for our shareholders throughout the remainder of our fiscal 2024."

As previously reported, on November 9, 2023, TransDigm entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the Electron Device Business of Communications & Power Industries ("CPI"), a portfolio company of TJC, L.P., for approximately $1.385 billion in cash. The acquisition is expected to close this fiscal year, subject to regulatory approvals in the United States and United Kingdom and customary closing conditions. CPI's Electron Device Business is a leading global manufacturer of electronic components and subsystems primarily serving the aerospace and defense market. Its products are highly engineered, proprietary components with significant aftermarket content and a strong presence across aerospace and defense platforms.

During the quarter, on November 28, 2023, TransDigm successfully completed a private offering of $1.0 billion of 7.125% senior secured notes due December 1, 2031 ("2031 Secured Notes"). Also on November 28, 2023, TransDigm successfully issued $1.0 billion in new Tranche J term loans maturing February 28, 2031. The applicable interest rate for the Tranche J term loans is Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 3.25%. TransDigm intends to use the net proceeds of the offering of the 2031 Secured Notes and new Tranche J term loans to fund the purchase of CPI's Electron Device Business and for general corporate purposes.

Please see the attached tables for a reconciliation of income from continuing operations to EBITDA, EBITDA As Defined, and adjusted net income; a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to EBITDA and EBITDA As Defined; and a reconciliation of earnings per share to adjusted earnings per share for the periods discussed in this press release.

Fiscal 2024 Outlook

Mr. Stein stated, "We are raising our full year net sales and EBITDA As Defined guidance primarily to reflect our strong first quarter results and current expectations for the remainder of the fiscal year. On the net income line, the impact of this guidance raise will be partially offset by the additional interest expense relating to the financing activities completed during the quarter - we took on incremental debt to fund the pending acquisition of CPI's Electron Device Business." This guidance excludes any EBITDA As Defined contribution from the pending acquisition of CPI's Electron Device Business.

TransDigm now expects fiscal 2024 financial guidance to be as follows:

Net sales are anticipated to be in the range of $7,575 million to $7,755 million compared with $6,585 million in fiscal 2023, an increase of 16.4% at the midpoint (an increase of $85 million at the midpoint from prior guidance);
Net income is anticipated to be in the range of $1,560 million to $1,662 million compared with $1,299 million in fiscal 2023, an increase of 24.0% at the midpoint (a decrease of $86 million at the midpoint from prior guidance);
Earnings per share is expected to be in the range of $25.25 to $27.01 per share based upon weighted average shares outstanding of 57.8 million shares, compared with $22.03 per share in fiscal 2023, which is an increase of 18.6% at the midpoint (a decrease of $1.45 per share at the midpoint from prior guidance);
EBITDA As Defined is anticipated to be in the range of $3,920 million to $4,050 million compared with $3,395 million in fiscal 2023, an increase of 17.4% at the midpoint (an increase of $45 million at the midpoint from prior guidance and corresponding to an EBITDA As Defined margin guide of approximately 52.0% for fiscal 2024);
Adjusted earnings per share is expected to be in the range of $29.97 to $31.73 per share compared with $25.84 per share in fiscal 2023, an increase of 19.4% at the midpoint (a decrease of $1.12 per share at the midpoint from prior guidance); and
Fiscal 2024 outlook is based on the following market growth assumptions:
- Commercial OEM revenue growth around 20%;
- Commercial aftermarket revenue growth in the mid-teens percentage range; and
- Defense revenue growth in the high-single digit to low double-digit percentage range.

Please see the attached Table 6 for a reconciliation of EBITDA, EBITDA As Defined to net income and reported earnings per share to adjusted earnings per share guidance midpoint estimated for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024. Additionally, please see attached Table 7 for comparison of the current fiscal year 2024 guidance versus the previously issued fiscal year 2024 guidance.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Information

EBITDA, EBITDA As Defined, EBITDA As Defined Margin, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release as supplemental disclosures to net income and reported results. TransDigm Group defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and defines EBITDA As Defined as EBITDA plus certain non-operating items recorded as corporate expenses, including non-cash compensation charges incurred in connection with TransDigm Group's stock incentive or deferred compensation plans, foreign currency gains and losses, acquisition-integration costs, acquisition and divestiture transaction-related expenses, and refinancing costs. Acquisition and divestiture-related costs represent accounting adjustments to inventory associated with acquisitions of businesses and product lines that were charged to cost of sales when the inventory was sold; costs incurred to integrate acquired businesses and product lines into the Company's operations, facility relocation costs and other acquisition-related costs; transaction-related costs for both acquisitions and divestitures comprising deal fees; legal, financial and tax diligence expenses and valuation costs that are required to be expensed as incurred and other acquisition accounting adjustments. TransDigm Group defines adjusted net income as net income plus purchase accounting backlog amortization expense, effects from the sale on businesses, non-cash compensation charges incurred in connection with TransDigm Group's stock incentive or deferred compensation plans, foreign currency gains and losses, acquisition-integration costs, acquisition and divestiture transaction-related expenses, and refinancing costs. EBITDA As Defined Margin represents EBITDA As Defined as a percentage of net sales. TransDigm Group defines adjusted diluted earnings per share as adjusted net income divided by the total outstanding shares for basic and diluted earnings per share. For more information regarding the computation of EBITDA, EBITDA As Defined, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share, please see the attached financial tables.

TransDigm Group presents these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that they are useful indicators of its operating performance. TransDigm Group believes that EBITDA is useful to investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to measure operating performance among companies with different capital structures, effective tax rates and tax attributes, capitalized asset values and employee compensation structures, all of which can vary substantially from company to company. In addition, analysts, rating agencies and others use EBITDA to evaluate a company's ability to incur and service debt. EBITDA As Defined is used to measure TransDigm Inc.'s compliance with the financial covenant contained in its credit facility. TransDigm Group's management also uses EBITDA As Defined to review and assess its operating performance, to prepare its annual budget and financial projections and to review and evaluate its management team in connection with employee incentive programs. Moreover, TransDigm Group's management uses EBITDA As Defined to evaluate acquisitions and as a liquidity measure. In addition, TransDigm Group's management uses adjusted net income as a measure of comparable operating performance between time periods and among companies as it is reflective of changes in pricing decisions, cost controls and other factors that affect operating performance.

None of EBITDA, EBITDA As Defined, EBITDA As Defined Margin, adjusted net income or adjusted earnings per share is a measurement of financial performance under U.S. GAAP and such financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, earnings per share, cash flows from operating activities or other measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, TransDigm Group's calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Although we use EBITDA and EBITDA As Defined as measures to assess the performance of our business and for the other purposes set forth above, the use of these non-GAAP financial measures as analytical tools has limitations, and you should not consider any of them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations as reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

neither EBITDA nor EBITDA As Defined reflects the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements, necessary to service interest payments on our indebtedness;
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and neither EBITDA nor EBITDA As Defined reflects any cash requirements for such replacements;
the omission of the substantial amortization expense associated with our intangible assets further limits the usefulness of EBITDA and EBITDA As Defined;
neither EBITDA nor EBITDA As Defined includes the payment of taxes, which is a necessary element of our operations; and
EBITDA As Defined excludes the cash expense we have incurred to integrate acquired businesses into our operations, which is a necessary element of certain of our acquisitions.
