Historical Stock Chart
From Nov 2019 to Nov 2024
Pemco Aviation Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: PAGI), a leading provider of
aircraft maintenance and modification services, today announced the
operating results of its second quarter and six months ended June 30,
2007. Net income for the second quarter of 2007 was $0.63 million ($0.15
per share) compared to net income for the second quarter of 2006 of
$0.45 million ($0.11 per share), an improvement of 40%. Revenue for the
second quarter of 2007 was $53.2 million versus revenue of $48.5 million
in the second quarter of 2006, an increase of 10%. Net income for the
first six months of 2007 was $1.52 million ($0.37 per share) compared
with net income of $0.52 million ($0.13 per share) in the first six
months of 2006. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was
$105.6 million, compared to $85.1 million in the six months ended June
30, 2006, an increase of 24%. The Company’s
results of operations in the first six months of 2006 was impacted by a
$0.36 million positive adjustment in a warranty reserve due to
additional regulatory approvals issued during the second quarter of 2006
and the reversal of $0.64 million of a $1.50 million provision for
accounts receivable.
Ronald Aramini, Pemco’s President and CEO,
stated “Pemco’s
second quarter and six month results reflect continued growth in revenue
and net income for Pemco. Significant progress has also been made in the
divestiture of our Commercial Services Segment (“CSS”).
As previously announced, we signed a contract on July 10, 2007 to sell
our Pemco World Air Services subsidiary to an affiliate of Sun Capital
Partners, Inc. We expect the proceeds to be sufficient to eliminate all
of our bank debt and provide working capital for our Government Services
Segment (“GSS”). We
have continued to deliver KC-135 aircraft in reduced flow days and high
quality despite a decrease in inductions during the first six months of
2007. We anticipate the award of the new KC-135 contract will be made in
the next few weeks and we remain very optimistic about winning.”

press release.
GSS revenue decreased $8.9 million in the second quarter of 2007,
primarily due to decreases in KC-135 deliveries offset by increased
revenue from U.S. Navy P-3 aircraft and U.S Air Force (“USAF”)
C-130 aircraft. The KC-135 Program Depot Maintenance (“PDM”)
program, which accounted for 22.5% of revenue in the second quarter of
2007 and 44.7% of revenue in the second quarter of 2006, allows for the
Company to provide services on PDM aircraft, drop-in aircraft, and other
aircraft related areas. Revenue from the KC-135 program decreased $9.7
million during the second quarter of 2007 versus the second quarter of
2006. During the second quarter of 2007, the Company delivered three PDM
aircraft and no drop-ins, compared to six PDM aircraft and one drop-in
during the second quarter of 2006. The Company delivered one P-3
aircraft in the second quarter of 2007 and 2006. Revenue from
non-routine work performed on P-3 aircraft increased $0.3 million during
the second quarter of 2007 compared to the second quarter of 2006 due to
more aircraft in work. Revenue increased $1.0 million under contracts to
perform non-routine maintenance work on USAF C-130 aircraft. Revenue on
other U.S. Government programs decreased $0.5 million during the second
quarter of 2007 compared to the second quarter of 2006.
CSS revenue increased $13.1 million in the second quarter of 2007,
primarily due to increases in cargo conversion revenues of $7.0 million,
increases in maintenance, repair and overhaul (“MRO”)
revenue from Southwest Airlines of $4.7 million, and increases in MRO
revenue from Northwest Airlines of $3.5 million, offset by decreases in
revenue from various customers of $1.3 million and settlement of the H-3
Request for Equitable Adjustment of $0.8 million in the first quarter of
2006. CSS delivered four cargo conversions during the second quarter of
2007 compared to two during the second quarter of 2006. Two of the four
cargo conversions were performed in mainland China. Southwest Airlines
increased the number of aircraft inducted during the second quarter of
2007 versus the second quarter of 2006. Northwest Airlines increased the
scope of work on aircraft inducted in the second quarter of 2007 as
compared to the second quarter of 2006. CSS has several customers that
provide drop-in aircraft on an inconsistent basis. These drop-in
aircraft accounted for a larger percentage of revenue in the second
quarter of 2006.
Gross profit at GSS decreased to $0.6 million during the second quarter
of 2007 compared to $2.3 million during the second quarter of 2006. The
decrease is primarily attributable to a decline in deliveries of KC-135
aircraft and losses incurred on the U.S. Navy P-3 program. Gross profit
on the KC-135 program decreased $0.6 million during the second quarter
of 2007 versus the second quarter of 2006. The Company recorded losses
on the U.S. Navy P-3 program of $1.1 million during the second quarter
of 2007 versus losses of $0.5 million during the second quarter of 2006.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”)
expenses decreased $0.6 million during the second quarter of 2007 versus
the second quarter of 2006 due to a decrease in the amount of allocated
corporate expenses.
Gross profit at CSS increased from $3.1 million during the second
quarter of 2006 to $6.1 million during the second quarter of 2007.
Additional MRO revenue increased gross profit by $1.8 million in the
second quarter of 2007. Additional cargo conversions increased gross
profit by $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2007. Gross profit at
CSS in 2006 was positively impacted by the settlement of the H-3 Request
for Equitable Adjustment, which resulted in an increase in revenue of
$0.8 million. CSS SG&A expenses decreased $0.2 million to $2.1 million
in the second quarter of 2007 from $2.3 million in the second quarter of
2006 due to a reduction of allocated corporate expenses. CSS also
recognized a $0.6 million reversal of a provision for doubtful accounts
in the second quarter of 2006.
During the second quarter of 2007, the Company incurred $0.5 million of
legal and accounting expenses related to the planned sale of Space
Vector Corporation and the sale of CSS. The Company did not allocate
these expenses to its subsidiaries. There were no comparable unallocated
corporate expenses in the second quarter of 2006.
Total interest expense, including discontinued operations, increased to
$1.1 million in the second quarter of 2007 from $0.9 million in the
second quarter of 2006. Interest expense increased primarily as a result
of higher rates on variable interest rate loans resulting from amending
existing credit agreements.

press release.
The $11.3 million decrease in GSS revenue was primarily due to decreases
in KC-135 and U.S. Coast Guard (“USCG”)
C-130 deliveries offset by increased revenue from U.S. Navy P-3 aircraft
and USAF C-130 aircraft. The KC-135 PDM program accounted for 25.4% of
revenue in the first six months of 2007 and 47.1% of revenue in the
first six months of 2006 Revenue from the KC-135 program decreased $13.3
million during the first six months of 2007 versus the first six months
of 2006. During the first six months of 2007, the Company delivered
seven PDM aircraft and no drop-ins, compared to ten PDM aircraft and two
drop-ins during first six months of 2006. The Company delivered two USCG
C-130 aircraft during the first six months of 2006 for which there was
no comparable revenue in 2007, resulting in a decrease in revenue of
$3.5 million. The Company delivered three P-3 aircraft in the first six
months of 2007 versus one in the first six months of 2006, which
increased revenue by $1.1 million. Revenue from non-routine work
performed on P-3 aircraft increased by $1.1 million during the first six
months of 2007 compared to the first six months of 2006 due to more
aircraft in work. Revenue increased by $2.1 million during the first six
months of 2007 under contracts to perform non-routine maintenance work
on USAF C-130 aircraft. Revenue on other U.S. Government programs
increased $0.9 million during the first six months of 2007 compared to
the first six months of 2006.
The increase in CSS revenue of $32.3 million was primarily due to
increases in cargo conversion revenues of $17.1 million, increases in
MRO revenue from Southwest Airlines of $11.5 million, and increases in
MRO revenue from Northwest Airlines of $8.9 million, offset by decreases
in revenue from various customers of $4.4 million and settlement of the
H-3 Request for Equitable Adjustment of $0.8 million in the first
quarter of 2006. CSS delivered seven cargo conversions during the first
six months of 2007 compared to two during the first six months of 2006.
Three of the seven cargo conversions were performed in mainland China.
Southwest Airlines increased the number of aircraft inducted during the
first six months of 2007 versus the first six months of 2006. Northwest
Airlines increased the scope of work on aircraft inducted in the first
six months of 2007 as compared to the first six months of 2006. CSS has
several customers that provide drop-in aircraft on an inconsistent
basis. These drop-in aircraft accounted for a larger percentage of
revenue in the first six months of 2006.
Gross profit at GSS decreased from $5.3 million to $3.3 million during
the first six months of 2007 compared to the first six months of 2006.
The decrease is primarily attributable to higher overhead rates caused
by a reduction in man-hours and losses incurred on the U.S. Navy P-3
program. Gross profit on the KC-135 program decreased $0.6 million
during the first six months of 2007 versus the first six months of 2006.
The Company recorded losses on the U.S. Navy P-3 program of $1.1 million
during the first six months of 2007 versus losses of $0.4 million during
the first six months of 2006. GSS SG&A expenses decreased by $0.9
million to $3.7 million in the first six months of 2007 from $4.6
million in the first six months of 2006 due to a reduction in allocated
corporate expenses.
Gross profit at CSS increased from $5.9 million during the first six
months of 2006 to $11.3 million during the first six months of 2007.
Gross profit during the first half of 2006 was adversely impacted by the
lockout of union employees at the Dothan, Alabama facility, from
August 11, 2005 to October 9, 2005 and the bankruptcy of Northwest
Airlines in the third quarter of 2005 as CSS capacity utilization
increased back to normal levels. Additional MRO revenue increased gross
profit by $3.7 million in the first six months of 2007. Additional cargo
conversions increased gross profit by $2.5 million in the first six
months of 2007. Gross profit at CSS in 2006 was also positively affected
by the settlement of the H-3 Request for Equitable Adjustment which
resulted in an increase in revenue of $0.8 million. CSS SG&A expenses
remained unchanged at $4.9 million in the first six months of 2007 and
2006. CSS also recognized a $0.6 million reversal of a provision for
doubtful accounts in the first six months of 2006.
During the first six months of 2007, the Company incurred $0.9 million
of legal and accounting expenses related to the planned sale of Space
Vector Corporation and the sale of CSS. The Company did not allocate
these expenses to its subsidiaries. There were no comparable unallocated
corporate expenses in the first six months of 2006.
Total interest expense increased to $2.1 million in the first six months
of 2007 from $1.5 million in the first six months of 2006. Interest
expense increased primarily as a result of higher rates on variable
interest rate loans resulting from amending existing credit agreements.
(a) Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization. Pemco presents EBITDA because its management uses the
measure to evaluate the Company's performance and to allocate resources.

EBITDA is a also measure of performance used by some commercial banks,
investment banks, investors, analysts and others to make informed
investment decisions. EBITDA is an indicator of cash generated to
service debt and fund capital expenditures. EBITDA is not a measure of
financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and
should not be considered as a substitute for or superior to other
measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP.
