DUCOMMUN INCORPORATED REPORTS RESULTS FOR THE

THIRD QUARTER AND YEAR-TO-DATE ENDED OCTOBER 3, 2009

LOS ANGELES, California (November 2, 2009)—Ducommun Incorporated (NYSE:DCO) today reported results for its third quarter and first nine months ended October 3, 2009.

Sales for the third quarter of 2009 increased 9% to $109.9 million from $100.9 million for the third quarter of 2008. Net income for the third quarter of 2009 was $6.2 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, compared to net income of $6.3 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, for the comparable period last year.

The increase in sales for the third quarter of 2009 from the same period last year was due to the December 2008 acquisition of DynaBil Industries, Inc. (DAS-NY). Net sales from DAS-NY were $11.1 million in the third quarter of 2009. The Company’s mix of business in the third quarter of 2009 was approximately 65% military, 33% commercial and 2% space, compared to 56% military, 41% commercial and 3% space in the third quarter of 2008.

Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, was 20.5% in the third quarter of 2009, compared to 20.6% in the third quarter of 2008.

Selling, general and administration (SG&A) expenses increased to $12.6 million, or 11.5% of sales, in the third quarter of 2009, compared to $11.5 million, or 11.4% of sales, in the third quarter of 2008. The increase in SG&A expenses in the third quarter of 2009 was primarily due to the acquisition of DAS-NY and included a year-over-year increase in amortization of intangible assets of $0.8 million, partially offset by corporate wide cost controls and reductions.

Net income for the third quarter of 2009 decreased 1% from the third quarter of 2008 due to higher interest expense on higher debt levels and a higher effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2009. The Company’s effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2009 was 33.0%, compared to 30.3% in the third quarter of 2008.

Sales for the first nine months of 2009 increased 8% to $325.1 million from $302.4 million for the first nine months of 2008. Net income for the first nine months of 2009 was $13.4 million, or $1.27 per diluted share, compared to net income of $17.3 million, or $1.63 per diluted share, for the comparable period last year.

The increase in sales for the first nine months of 2009 from the same period last year was due to the December 2008 acquisition of DAS-NY. Net sales from DAS-NY were $32.3 million in the first nine months of 2009. The Company’s mix of business in the first nine months of 2009 was approximately 62% military, 36% commercial and 2% space, compared to 58% military, 40% commercial and 2% space in the first nine months of 2008.

Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, was 18.3 % in the first nine months of 2009, compared to 21.0% in the first nine months of 2008. Gross profit in the first nine months of 2009 was negatively impacted by a previously reported inventory valuation adjustment of $5.1 million, including an inventory reserve of $4.4 million related to the Eclipse Aviation Corporation Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing in March 2009.

SG&A expenses increased to $37.6 million, or 11.6% of sales, for the first nine months of 2009, compared to $35.9 million, or 11.9% of sales, in the first nine months of 2008. The increase in SG&A expenses resulted from the acquisition of DAS-NY and included a year-over-year increase in amortization of intangible assets of $0.7 million.

Net income for the first nine months of 2009 decreased 23% from the first nine months of 2008 primarily due to the reasons stated above and higher interest expense on higher debt levels, partially offset by the benefit of a lower effective tax rate in the first nine months of 2009. The Company’s effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2009 was 33.0%, compared to 34.6% in the first nine months of 2008. The Company’s effective tax rate in 2009 included the benefit of research and development credits which were not available to the same extent in the first nine months of 2008. The Company expects its full year effective tax rate for 2009 to be approximately 30% to 32%.

Joseph C. Berenato, chairman and chief executive officer, stated “Ducommun’s third quarter results reflect the strength of our diversified portfolio of programs and products. Sales increased by $9 million on the strength of the December 2008 acquisition of DAS-NY. Excluding the acquisition, year-over-year sales were largely flat, notwithstanding a precipitous decline in commercial aircraft sales particularly for regional and business jets. The third quarter of 2009 benefited from a substantial increase in military sales for such programs as the Northrop Grumman X-47B UCAS, the Boeing C-17 aircraft and radar system upgrades for military fighter aircraft. A substantial increase in sales for the Sikorsky Blackhawk helicopter more than offset the decline in sales for the Boeing Apache helicopter.”

Mr. Berenato continued, “Despite a difficult commercial aerospace market, tight control of operating expenses allowed us to maintain our profit margins in the quarter. As a result, we were able to continue to make substantial investments in new programs without sacrificing current profitability. These new programs offer Ducommun the opportunity for meaningful growth in future years.”

Founded in 1849, Ducommun Incorporated provides engineering and manufacturing services to the aerospace and defense industry.
