ATK Reports FY14 Third Quarter Operating Results
 
ATK Third Quarter Year-Over-Year Sales Increased 14 Percent; Year-Over-Year Operating Income Up 37 Percent

ATK Increases FY14 Sales, EPS, and Free Cash Flow Guidance

ATK Board of Directors Declares 23 Percent Increase to Quarterly Dividend and Extends Share Repurchase Program
 
Arlington, Va.,  Jan. 30, 2014 — ATK (NYSE: ATK) today reported operating results for the third quarter of its Fiscal Year 2014, which ended on Dec. 29, 2013. Orders for the quarter were $1.3 billion, down from $1.4 billion in the prior-year quarter. This brings the year-to-date book-to-bill ratio to approximately 1.0, which is down from 1.2 in the prior-year quarter. The decrease was driven by lower orders in the Sporting and Defense Groups, offset by an increase in the Aerospace Group. Some of the decrease in Sporting Group orders reflects anticipated normalization following a record volume of orders in FY13. Third quarter year-over-year sales of $1.2 billion were up 14 percent, due to increased sales in the Sporting and Aerospace Groups, partially offset by a sales decline in the Defense Group.

During the third quarter, ATK’s Aerospace and Defense Groups recorded strategic contract wins including a contract to provide sub-structural composite components for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. This contract win adds to ATK's long-term relationship of supporting Boeing with composite structures, spanning many dynamic products across the commercial aircraft, military aircraft, launch vehicle and satellite industries. Airbus also awarded ATK a contract to manufacture and supply composite stringers and frames on the -1000 variant of the A350 XWB. The contract expansion adds to the work already being performed on the A350 XWB program. This agreement is the next step in ATK’s valuable working relationship with Airbus and its partners. In addition, the Italian Air Force committed to be the first customer for aircraft equipped with ATK’s unique roll-on, roll-off palletized gun and command and control systems.
Successful program execution included the full deployment of a large MegaFlex™ solar array and the completion of the System Design Review for the Stratolaunch Air Launch Vehicle.
In the Sporting Group, the U.S. Army selected the company's BLACKHAWK!® SERPA® Tactical Holster for its Improved Modular Tactical Holster Program. With this five-year, $24 million Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity, multiple source contract, the holster is now the current platform for the U.S. Army, Army Military Police, U.S. Marine Corps, the German Army and other law enforcement and military agencies both domestic and international. In addition to organic growth, the company is successfully integrating both Savage and Bushnell into its Sporting Group.
"ATK continues to deliver on our business strategy to strengthen the company’s leadership positions in our core markets," said Mark DeYoung, ATK President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our focus on execution excellence, efficiency improvements and strategic growth initiatives continues to allow us to deliver strong financial performance. Our leadership in the sporting market contributed to our solid performance as the Sporting Group accounted for 43 percent of the company's total



revenue. ATK's recent wins in the third quarter, such as work on the Boeing 787, Airbus A350 and SERPA Holster contracts, demonstrate we are a preferred partner and innovation leader with opportunity for continued long-term growth. ATK is focused on delivering returns to our shareholders and quality products to our customers."
 
 Operating profit in the third quarter increased approximately $39 million from the prior-year period. On an adjusted basis, operating profit in the third quarter increased $55 million (see reconciliation table for details). Adjusted operating profit increased due to higher sales and profit in the Sporting Group, partially offset by a decrease in profit in the Aerospace Group. Net income in the third quarter was $80 million, up from $63 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted net income in the third quarter was $93 million (see reconciliation table for details). Fully diluted earnings per share were $2.46 compared to $1.93 in the prior-year period. On an adjusted basis, fully diluted earnings per share were $2.87 (see reconciliation table for details). Adjusted net income and EPS increased due to the operating profit noted above and a lower tax rate, partially offset by a higher interest expense. Please see segment and corporate results below.

SEGMENT RESULTS
 
ATK operates in a three business group structure: the Aerospace Group, the Defense Group and the Sporting Group.
 
AEROSPACE GROUP
 
Third quarter sales were up 4 percent to $318 million compared to $305 million in the prior-year quarter, reflecting increased sales in the Space Systems Operations and Aerospace Structures divisions, partially offset by lower sales in the Space Components division.
 
Operating profit in the quarter decreased 11 percent to $33 million compared to $37 million in the prior-year quarter, partially driven by the absence of an award fee in the group's propulsion business that was recorded in the prior-year period.

 


2


DEFENSE GROUP
 
Sales in the third quarter decreased 10 percent to $455 million compared to $508 million in the prior-year quarter. The decrease was driven by reduced sales in the Armament Systems and Small Caliber Systems divisions as programs neared completion, and impacts from federal budget reductions.
 
Operating profit for the quarter was relatively flat at $53 million, reflecting the reduced sales volume noted above, offset by a variety of operational improvements.
 
SPORTING GROUP
 
Third quarter sales increased 78 percent to $524 million compared to $294 million in the prior-year quarter, including results from the recently acquired businesses of Savage and Bushnell, and a 31 percent organic growth rate. Sales from Savage and Bushnell were $54 million and $85 million, respectively.
 
Operating profit in the third quarter increased 168 percent to $81 million compared to $30 million in the prior-year quarter, including Savage and Bushnell, and the organic sales increase noted above. Operating profit from Savage and Bushnell was $13 million and $3 million, respectively. Third quarter operating profit for Bushnell includes inventory step-up and transition costs.

CORPORATE AND OTHER
 
In the third quarter, corporate and other expenses totaled $22 million compared to $14 million in the prior-year quarter, reflecting transaction costs of $10 million related to acquisitions and higher intercompany profit eliminations, partially offset by a reduction in pension expense. The tax rate for the quarter was 32.7 percent compared to 31.9 percent in the prior year. The higher tax rate is due primarily to nondeductible acquisition-related costs and lower benefits from the Domestic Manufacturing Deduction, partially offset by a favorable true-up of prior-year taxes and extension of the federal R&D tax credit in 2013.

Interest expense was $29 million compared to $14 million in the prior-year quarter, reflecting higher average debt levels and the write-off of $6 million of deferred financing costs as a result of previously announced debt refinancing. Year-to-date free cash flow was $142 million compared to free cash flow of $57 million in the prior-year period (see reconciliation table for details). The increase in free cash flow reflects the impact of a reduction in pension contributions of $100 million over the prior year, the absence of a LUU flare settlement payment in the prior year, and decreased tax payments, offset by increased working capital, primarily due to the timing of payments and collection of a significant receivable in the prior year. Year-to-date capital expenditures were $81 million compared to $61 million in the prior year, primarily driven by capital expenditures in the Defense Group, due to a new contract in the Small Caliber Systems division and capital expenditures as part of the Savage acquisition.

A total of $4 million in shares were repurchased in the third quarter, bringing the total value of share repurchases to $112 million since ATK's Board of Directors established the two-year repurchase program on Jan. 31, 2012. This week, on Jan. 29, 2014, the Board of Directors approved the extension of the share repurchase program until March 31, 2015. This will allow the company the option to offset the potential dilution of any shares that could be issued in connection with the potential retirement of the convertible notes in August 2014.

OUTLOOK
 
ATK is raising its full-year FY14 sales guidance to a range of approximately $4.73 billion to $4.78 billion, up from previous guidance of $4.68 billion to $4.73 billion, reflecting improved operating performance in the Sporting Group. The effective tax rate for the year is expected to be approximately 33.5 percent, down from previous guidance of approximately 34.5 percent, due primarily to the favorable true-up of prior-year taxes.

Full-year FY14 EPS guidance is now $9.50 to $9.80, up from previous guidance of $9.10 to $9.40, reflecting improved sales as noted above and a lower expected tax rate. ATK expects its full-year FY14 free cash flow guidance in the range of $215 million to $235 million, up from previous guidance of $210 million to $230 million (see reconciliation table for details).

ATK's Board of Directors has declared a 23 percent increase in its quarterly cash dividend to $0.32 per share, up from $0.26 per share. The dividend will be payable March 27, 2014, to stockholders of record as of March 4, 2014.

 "We are pleased with our third quarter performance and execution across the business. We are committed to returning value to our shareholders, and the company's Board of Directors increased the quarterly cash dividend by 23 percent," said Neal Cohen, ATK Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

 
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
Sales, Margins, and Earnings Per Share
 
The Sales, Margins, and Earnings Per Share (EPS) excluding transaction costs associated with acquisitions, write-off of deferred financing costs, Bushnell inventory step-up, and the results of the Radford Army Ammunition Plant (RFAAP) are non-GAAP financial measures that ATK defines as Sales, Margins, and EPS excluding the impact of these items. ATK management is presenting these measures so a reader may compare Sales, Margins, and EPS excluding these items as the measures provide investors with an important perspective on the operating results of the Company. ATK management uses these measurements internally to assess business performance, and ATK’s definition may differ from those used by other companies.

Free Cash Flow
 
Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. ATK management believes free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available for debt repayment, cash dividends, share repurchases and acquisitions after making the capital investments required to support ongoing business operations. ATK management uses free cash flow internally to assess both business performance and overall liquidity.
