Gundermann, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The second quarter was another very good quarter for our company. Demand was strong, resulting in record quarterly revenue of $55.5 million and second best quarterly bookings of $58.5 million. Margins were solid, though down somewhat from the preceding first quarter due primarily to increased costs relating to legal proceedings.
Sales in the second quarter of 2011 were $55.5 million, up $8.4 million, or 17.8%, from the prior year second quarter. Aerospace sales, which represented approximately 94% of total second quarter sales, increased 19.1% to $51.9 million over the prior year period. Test Systems sales remained flat at $3.5 million when compared with last year’s second quarter. Sales for the first six months of 2011 were $110.6 million, up $16.6 million, or 17.6%, from the same period last year. Aerospace sales, which represented approximately 92% of first half total sales, increased 17.7% to $102.1 million over the prior year period. Test Systems sales were up approximately $1.3 million or 18.1% to $8.5 million when compared with $7.2 million in the first six months of 2010.
Net income in the second quarter of 2011 was $4.5 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, compared with net income of $2.4 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, in the same period of last year. Year-to-date net income for the first six months of 2011 was $9.8 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, compared with net income of $5.8 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, in the same period of last year.
Consolidated gross margin and operating margin in the 2011 second quarter and first six months improved over the prior year periods reflecting the margin added by increased sales offset partially by increases in both engineering and development costs and selling, general and administrative costs.
Engineering and development (E&D) costs were $8.8 million in the 2011 second quarter compared with $7.0 million in last year’s second quarter. Year-to-date E&D costs were $17.1 million and $14.2 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company expects E&D expenditures for 2011, which are included in cost of goods sold, to be in the range of $32 million to $34 million.
Aerospace Segment Review (refer to sales by market and segment data in accompanying tables)
Second quarter and year-to-date sales to the Commercial Transport market increased on higher demand for Cabin Electronics products as well as increased volume for our Aircraft Lighting Products. Second quarter and year-to-date Military sales were down primarily due to lower Aircraft Lighting sales to that market. Second quarter and year-to-date sales to the Business Jet market were higher due to increased Airframe Power revenue.
Aerospace operating profit for the second quarter of 2011 was $9.0 million, or 17.3% of sales, compared with $6.8 million, or 15.5% of sales, in the same period last year. Year-to-date operating profit was $18.3 million in 2011, or 17.9% of sales, compared with $13.5 million, or 15.5% of sales year-to-date in the first half of 2010. Second quarter and year-to-date margin improvement was due to the leverage provided on the increased sales volume offset somewhat by increased engineering and development costs and increased SG&A costs.
Bookings for the Aerospace segment during the second quarter were $55.0 million, up 19.0% from $46.2 million in the second quarter of 2010, and up 13.0% from bookings of $48.7 million in the trailing first quarter of 2011. Backlog at the end of the second quarter was $93.1 million.
Test Systems Segment Review (refer to sales by market and segment data in accompanying tables)
Sales in the 2011 second quarter remained flat at $3.5 million when compared with the same period in 2010. Year-to-date sales for 2011 increased $1.3 million to $8.5 million compared with $7.2 million for the same period last year.
Test Systems operating loss for the second quarter of 2011 was $0.5 million, or (15.4)% of sales, compared with an operating loss of $1.0 million or (28.5)% of sales, in the same period last year. For the first half of 2011, Test Systems operating loss was $0.5 million, or (6.2)% of sales, compared with an operating loss of $0.8 million, or (11.1)% of sales, in the same period last year.
Test Systems bookings in the second quarter were $3.5 million compared with $5.4 million in the second quarter of 2010, and down from the trailing 2011 first quarter which had bookings of $5.8 million. Backlog was $9.0 million at the end of the second quarter. Bookings include nothing from the VDATS program which was announced during the quarter. This award has been protested by unsuccessful bidders and is under review at the GAO. The company expects successful resolution in September.
Balance Sheet
Cash at the end of the 2011 second quarter declined by $6.6 million to $16.1 million compared with December 31, 2010 primarily as a result of cash used for capital expenditures.
Capital expenditures during the second quarter and first six months of 2011 were $6.2 million and $7.0 million, respectively, compared with $0.6 million and $1.5 million in 2010, respectively.
During the second quarter the Company acquired a partially completed building located near its present Redmond, Washington operation for approximately $5.2 million. The Company expects to spend an additional $5 million to $8 million through 2012 for renovations on this facility. Astronics Advanced Electronic Systems Corp will occupy the facility when the lease on its current location terminates in March 2013. Additionally, in July, the Company purchased for approximately $5.1 million the building that it had been leasing in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Astronics currently pays $2.6 million annually to lease facilities for these two operations, and considers the real estate purchases to be opportunistic given the current environment.
The Company expects capital spending in 2011 to be approximately $17 million to $21 million including $12 million to $13 million related to the acquisition and build out of the Fort Lauderdale and Redmond properties.
Outlook
At July 2, 2011, backlog was $102.1 million, up from backlog of $99.1 million at the end of the trailing first quarter of 2011 and improved over backlog of $97.3 million at the end of the second quarter of 2010. Approximately 75% of backlog is expected to ship by the end of 2011.
Mr. Gundermann concluded, “The first half of 2011 has been terrific, with record revenue of $110.6 million and net profit of $9.8 million. Strong demand has prompted us to increase our sales forecast for the year to $220 million to $230 million, up from our previous forecast of $210 to $225 million,” he concluded.
Astronics anticipates that approximately $204 million to $212 million of forecasted revenue will be from its Aerospace segment, while approximately $16 million to $18 million of the forecasted revenue will be from its Test Systems segment.
