TAT Technologies Reports Third Quarter 2008 Results

Thursday November 13, 5:52 pm ET

GEDERA, Israel, Nov. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TAT Technologies Limited (Nasdaq: TATTF - News), reported today its results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008.

TAT Technologies Limited (TAT), directly and through its subsidiaries, provides a variety of services and products to the aerospace industry, such as the manufacture, maintenance and repair of a broad range of heat transfer components (such as heat exchangers, pre-coolers and oil/fuel hydraulic coolers) used in mechanical and electronic systems on-board commercial, military and business aircraft; other environmental control and cooling systems and a variety of other electronic and mechanical aircraft accessories.

TAT announced net income of $679,120 on revenues of $26,702,134 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to net income of $26,080,046 on revenues of $20,862,079 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The 2007 period benefited from the capital gain of $26.4 million that the company recorded in connection with the July 2007 IPO of its 62% held subsidiary, Limco-Piedmont Inc.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 TAT announced net income of $3,582,221 on revenues of $72,145,103 compared to net income of $30,588,308 and revenues of $68,983,537 for the same period ended September 30, 2007.

Revenues from the company's three principal lines of business for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were as follows:

Three Months Ended September 30, 2008 2007 Revenues % of Total Revenues % of Total Revenues Revenues In Thousands Revenues: MRO Services 14,054 52.6% 12,821 61.5% OEM products 9,153 34.3% 5,377 25.8% Parts Services 4,773 17.9% 3,813 18.3% Elimination (1,278) (4.8%) (1,149) (5.6%) Total Revenues 26,702 100.0% 20,862 100.0% Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 2007 Revenues % of Total Revenues % of Total Revenues Revenues In Thousands Revenues: MRO Services 40,264 55.8% 37,877 54.9% OEM products 22,599 31.3% 17,395 25.2% Parts Services 13,360 18.5% 17,022 24.7% Elimination (4,078) (5.6%) (3,311) (4.8%) Total Revenues 72,145 100.0% 68,983 100.0%

The 28% and 5% increases in revenues for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 compared with those of September 30, 2007, respectively, reflect increased revenues in all three segments of the company in addition to the consolidation of the company's 70% owned subsidiary, Bental Industries Ltd. commencing August 18, 2008. Bental contributed revenues of $3,066 thousands during the third quarter.

The decrease in net income for both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 compared with those of September 30, 2007, is primarily attributable to the $26.4 million capital gain recorded in connection with the IPO of the company's 62% held subsidiary, Limco-Piedmont Inc. in July 2007. Also impacting net income was the decrease in the net profits of the company's operations in Israel from $1.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $ 911,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2008, primarily resulting from the decline in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Israeli Shekel that resulted in increased operational expenses and decreased net profit. Other factors impacting net income was a one time compensation charge of $930,000 arising from the previously announced retirement of certain managers and the decrease in the net profit of Limco-Piedmont from $4.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $2.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The third quarter of 2008 results also reflect the positive addition of $ 989,000 of net income attributable to Bental Industries Ltd.

Since the end of the second quarter, TAT, directly and through its subsidiaries, has entered into a number of long-term agreements with customers for the provision of products and services. Among such agreements, are agreements for the provision of Heat Exchangers commencing in 2010, pursuant to which revenues may reach approximately $20 to 35 million over a 5 to 15 years period. We also entered into agreements to provide cooling systems commencing in 2009, pursuant to which revenues may reach approximately $10 to 20 million over a 5 to 15 years period.

Dr. Shmuel Fledel, TAT's CEO commented: "The third quarter of 2008 saw encouraging revenue growth for the TAT group, versus the third quarter of last year and second quarter of this year. We have experienced a decrease in our gross margins, and consequently we are taking aggressive actions to manage costs through the weakness that is developing in the aviation industries.

We are pursuing initiatives with new customers for 2009 and looking positively towards the fourth quarter of 2008 and 2009. We believe that our business opportunities, along with consistent expense control and improvement in operational performance give us the ability to realize an improved fourth quarter and 2009."
