Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  In the opinion of management, all recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement have been included.  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in the  Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, of LMI Aerospace, Inc. (the "Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2015, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2016.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Recent Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). On July 9, 2015 the FASB voted to approve a one year delay of the effective date and to permit companies to voluntarily adopt the new standard as of the original effective date. The new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The standard will supersede existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance, and will provide companies with a single revenue recognition model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The standard requires revenue to be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Adoption of the new rules could affect the timing of revenue recognition for certain transactions. The two permitted transition methods under the new standard are the full retrospective method, in which case the standard would be applied to each prior reporting period presented, or the modified retrospective method, in which case the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the date of initial application. The provisions of this new guidance are effective as of the beginning of the Company’s first quarter of 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the transition method to be used and the impact of adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases." The standard requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a lease asset for all leases, including operating leases, with a term greater than 12 months on its balance sheet. The update also expands the required quantitative and qualitative disclosures surrounding leases. The provisions of this new guidance are effective as of the beginning of the Company’s first quarter of 2019. This update will be applied using a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this update on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which amends Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. The standard simplifies the accounting for stock-based compensation, including amendments on how both taxes related to stock-based compensation and cash payments made to taxing authorities are recorded. These amendments are expected to impact net income, earnings per share and the consolidated statement of cash flows. The new guidance is effective for financial statements issued for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early application is permitted, during fiscal 2016, with any adjustments reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

Under contract accounting, unbilled revenues arise when the sales or revenues based on performance attainment, though appropriately recognized, cannot be billed yet under terms of the contract as of the balance sheet date. Included in unbilled revenue at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are $859 and $858, respectively, related to unpriced change orders or claims that are subject to negotiation. The final resolution of these unpriced items could result in either a favorable or unfavorable change in the revenue recognized to date on the associated contracts.

Accounts receivable expected to be collected after one year is not material.

The Company records changes in contract estimates using the cumulative catch-up method in accordance with the Revenue Recognition topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.  Cumulative catch-up adjustments had the following impacts to operating income for the periods presented:

At both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had recognized a loss reserve of $1,992 on the Mitsubishi Regional Jet design build program. The adjustment in 2015 related to this program was recorded as a reduction to revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Inventories include capitalized contract costs relating to programs and contracts with long-term production cycles.  The Company believes these amounts will be fully recovered over the life of the contracts. In accordance with ASC 605-35-45-1&2, the provisions for anticipated losses on contracts are accounted for as additional contract cost and recognized as part of cost of sales. Provisions for losses are recorded as a reduction of related contract costs recorded in inventory. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had no contracts with loss reserves accounted for as a reduction of inventory.

Capitalized contract costs at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 include $5,821 and $5,970 respectively, related to an agreement the Company signed with Spirit Aerosystems ("Spirit") to form a strategically aligned partnership. This agreement extended the performance period of the statements of work for certain contracts with Spirit and gave the Company preferred supplier status on certain future contracts. This consideration is being amortized as a reduction to revenue over the life of the related contracts. The remaining capitalized contract costs relate primarily to four early-stage long-term contracts. The Company expects these costs will not be realized within one year but believes these amounts will be fully recovered over the life of the related contracts.

The following table illustrates the market to which capitalized contract cost at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 related:

The carrying value of goodwill is assessed annually, during the fourth quarter, unless a triggering event occurs. Following an assessment an impairment charge is recorded if appropriate.  In the three months ended March 31, 2016, a triggering event did not occur that would cause the Company to assess the carrying value of goodwill.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets primarily consist of trademarks and customer intangibles.  The carrying values were as follows:

Intangible assets related to the acquisition of Valent are amortized on the straight-line method as this approximates the pattern of economic benefit of each intangible asset.  All other remaining intangible assets are not material.

At March 31, 2016, the Company had $234,175 in outstanding second-priority senior secured notes maturing on July 15, 2019. Obligations under these notes are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets and bear interest at 7.375%, paid semi-annually in January and July.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company acquired equipment under capital lease of $1,465.

The Company's revolving credit agreement provides for a revolving credit facility of up to $90,000.  At both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the facility. Under the agreement, the co-collateral agents may establish a reserve against the facility. At March 31, 2016, the reserve established was $15,000, which reduced the maximum availability to $75,000. Based on the amount of eligible assets at March 31, 2016 and outstanding letters of credit of $1,388, available borrowings were further reduced to $51,863. The maximum amount, less reserves, available for borrowing at levels below $30,000 is based on a sum of 45% of eligible receivables, 30% of eligible inventories and an additional amount of eligible equipment up to 20% of total borrowings under the facility. The maximum amount, less reserves, available for borrowing at levels above $30,000 is based on a sum of 75% of eligible receivables, 45% of eligible inventories and an additional amount of eligible equipment up to 20% of total borrowings under the facility. Borrowings under the facility are secured by a first lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets and bear interest at either the LIBOR rate plus a margin of 3.00% to 3.50% or the alternate base rate, which is the highest of the following plus a margin of 2.00% to 2.50%, respectively, with the applicable margins for the revolving credit facility subject to a grid based on the average availability ratio of the Company for the most recently completed quarter:

The Company is required to pay a commitment fee of between 0.375% and 0.5% per annum on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility, depending on the average revolver usage during the period as compared to the total available borrowings under the facility. At March 31, 2016, the commitment fee required was 0.5%.

The revolving credit loan facility matures on the earlier of the fifth year anniversary date of July 15, 2019 or the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity date of the senior secured notes unless the notes are repaid, refinanced or otherwise satisfied in full. The maturity dates are subject to acceleration upon occurrence of an event of default. An event of default under the revolving credit agreement includes, among other things, failure to pay any material indebtedness, acceleration of payments by any lender prior to scheduled maturity, or judgments rendered against the Company requiring payments at or above certain levels.

The credit agreement contains a covenant that requires us to comply with a maximum first priority debt to EBITDA ratio on a quarterly basis. In addition, the agreement also contains certain restrictive covenants that limit and in some circumstances prohibit our ability to, among other things, incur additional debt, sell, lease or transfer our assets, make investments, guarantee debt or obligations, create liens, and enter into certain merger, consolidation or other reorganization transactions.  These restrictive covenants prohibit the Company from paying dividends. These restrictions could limit our ability to obtain future financing, make acquisitions or needed capital expenditures, withstand any current or future downturns in our business or the economy in general, conduct operations or otherwise take advantage of business opportunities that may arise, any of which could place us at a competitive disadvantage relative to our competitors that have less debt and are not subject to such restrictions.

At March 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all of its covenants and expects to be in compliance with its covenants in future periods.  If the Company fails to meet any covenants in the credit agreement, the Company would not be in compliance with its credit agreement and the lenders would be entitled to exercise various rights, including causing the amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility to become immediately due and payable.

Legal Contingencies

The Company has not been named as a defendant in a lawsuit that is outside the normal course of business.  In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, management discloses the amount or range of reasonably possible losses in a lawsuit in which the Company is a named defendant.  In the opinion of management, after consulting with legal counsel, any losses resulting from lawsuits in the normal course of business should not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
13.
Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements


LMI Aerospace, Inc. excluding its subsidiaries (“LMIA”) is the parent company, issuer and obligor of the second-priority senior notes due July 15, 2019 (the “Notes”). The payment obligations of LMIA under the Notes are guaranteed and secured by LMIA and all of its subsidiaries other than minor subsidiaries as further described below.

These Notes are guaranteed on a second-priority senior secured basis, jointly and severally, by LMIA (“Guarantor Parent”) and all of its existing and future 100% owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”) other than minor subsidiaries. Such guaranties are full and unconditional. LMIA conducts substantially all of its business through and derives virtually all of its income from its subsidiaries. Therefore, its ability to make required principal and interest payments with respect to its indebtedness depends on the earnings of subsidiaries and its ability to receive funds from its subsidiaries.

The Notes are secured on a second-priority basis by liens on substantially all of LMIA’s and the Guarantor Subsidiaries’ assets, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens. The liens securing the Notes are contractually subordinated to the liens that secure indebtedness under the revolving credit facility as a result of the lien subordination provisions of the intercreditor agreement to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness as well as being subordinated by other existing indebtedness, including industrial revenue bonds, capital leases and other notes payable, to the extent of the value of the collateral that secures such existing indebtedness. As a consequence of this lien subordination and existing indebtedness the notes and the guarantees are effectively subordinated to the extent of the value of the collateral that secures them. Decisions regarding the maintenance and release of the collateral secured by the collateral agreement are made by the lenders under the modified revolving credit facility, and neither the indenture trustee nor the holders of the Notes have control of decisions regarding the release of collateral.
We have not presented separate financial statements and separate disclosures have not been provided concerning the Guarantor Subsidiaries due to the presentation of condensed consolidating financial information set forth in this Note, consistent with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) rules governing reporting on guarantor financial information.
Supplemental condensed consolidating financial information of the Company, including such information for the Guarantor Subsidiaries, is presented below. Investments in subsidiaries are presented using the equity method of accounting. The principal elimination entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries and inter-company balances and transactions.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements. The Company makes forward-looking statements in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which represent the Company’s expectations or beliefs about future events and financial performance.  When used in this report, the words “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “goal,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “may,” “will” or similar words are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements are based on estimates, projections, beliefs and assumptions and are not guarantees of future events or results.  Such statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those referred to under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 (the “2015 Form 10-K”) and otherwise described in the Company’s periodic filings and current reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).


21


In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed may not occur.  In addition, actual results could differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements.  Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements.  Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  Investors should, however, review additional disclosures made by the Company from time to time in its periodic filings with the SEC.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read completely, in conjunction with our 2015 Form 10-K, as amended, and with the understanding that the Company’s actual future results may be materially different from what the Company expects.  All forward-looking statements made by the Company in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the Company’s other filings with the SEC are qualified by these cautionary statements.

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the Company to make estimates and assumptions.  (See Note 1 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included as part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.)

The Company believes that certain significant accounting estimates have the potential to have a more significant impact on the financial statements either because of the significance of the financial statements to which they relate or because they involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity.  A summary of such critical accounting estimates can be found in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in the 2015 Form 10-K.
Overview

We are a leading supplier of structural assemblies, kits and components and design engineering services to the aerospace and defense markets.  We primarily sell our products and services to the large commercial, corporate and regional, and military aircraft markets.    We believe that OEMs and Tier 1 aerospace companies will continue the trend of selecting their suppliers based upon the breadth of more complex and sophisticated design and manufacturing capabilities and value-added services and the ability of their suppliers to manage large production programs.

The Company is organized into two reportable segments: the Aerostructures segment and the Engineering Services segment.  Through its Aerostructures segment, the Company primarily fabricates, machines, finishes, integrates, assembles and kits formed close tolerance aluminum, specialty alloy and composite components and higher level assemblies for use by the aerospace and defense industries. It manufactures more than 40,000 products for integration into a variety of aircraft platforms manufactured by leading original equipment manufacturers and Tier 1 aerospace suppliers. Through its Engineering Services segment, the Company provides a complete range of design, engineering and program management services, supporting aircraft product lifecycles from conceptual design, analysis and certification through production support, fleet support and service life extensions via a complete turnkey engineering solution.

Results of Operations

Three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to three months ended March 31, 2015

Consolidated Operations

Cost of goods sold for the Aerostructures segment consists primarily of direct labor, materials, subcontract costs and manufacturing overhead, including indirect labor costs, depreciation, rent, supplies and other indirect costs.  Cost of goods for the Engineering Services segment consists primarily of direct labor, subcontract costs and overhead, including rent, maintenance, and indirect costs. Selling, general, and administrative expenses for both segments consist primarily of labor, rent, depreciation and amortization, professional services and other administrative expenses.

Net sales of large commercial aircraft products increased 6.2% in the first quarter of 2016 when compared to the first quarter of 2015. The most significant increase in revenue in the category was attributable to increased content and higher production rates on the Boeing 787 platform, which generated $8.0 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $6.5 million in the first quarter of 2015. We expect the Boeing 787 platform to generate similar levels of revenue throughout 2016. In addition, sales on the Bombardier C-Series platform contributed $1.3 million in additional sales volume when compared to the prior-year period.

Net sales of components for corporate and regional aircraft decreased 15.6% during the first quarter of 2016. The decrease in revenue was attributable to the Gulfstream G450/G550 program, which generated sales of $6.8 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to $3.6 million in the first quarter of 2016.

Net sales of military products decreased 13.6% during the first quarter of 2016.  The decrease is primarily due to reductions in revenues on the Boeing F-18 and Lockheed Martin F-35 programs of $0.9 million and $0.7 million, respectively, from $1.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2015 to $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively in the first quarter of 2016.

Cost of Goods Sold.  Cost of goods sold for the first quarter of 2016 was $62.2 million compared to $63.4 million for the first quarter of 2015. Cost of goods sold in the first quarter of 2016 was favorably impacted by restructuring and other cost savings activities completed in 2015 and was partially offset by unfavorable product mix.


23




Gross Profit.  Gross profit for the first quarter of 2016 was $14.8 million (19.2% of net sales) compared to $15.9 million (20.1% of net sales) in the first quarter of 2015. Unfavorable product mix and the impact of lower volume contributed to the reduction in gross profit margin in the first quarter of 2016. This decline in gross profit margin was partially offset by benefits realized from restructuring activities completed during 2015.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses were $11.3 million (14.7% of net sales) for the first quarter of 2016, compared to $10.8 million (13.6% of net sales) for the first quarter of 2015.  The increase was attributable to restructuring charges of $0.9 million recognized in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2015. Excluding the impact of these items, selling, general and administrative expenses were $10.4 million and $10.5 million in the first quarter of 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Engineering Services Segment

Net Sales.  The Engineering Services segment generates revenue primarily through the billing of employee time spent on customer projects.  Net sales for the Engineering Services segment were $11.1 million for the first quarter of 2016 as compared to $13.5 million for the first quarter of 2015, a decrease of 18.1%.  The following table specifies the amount of the Engineering Services segment’s net sales by category for the first quarter in each of 2016 and 2015 and the percentage of the segment’s total net sales represented by each category.

Net sales of services for large commercial aircraft were $5.9 million in the first quarter of 2016, down 21.3% from $7.5 million in the first quarter of 2015. The decrease in this category was primarily attributable to a decline in sales on a Bombardier program, which contributed $2.0 million of revenue in the first quarter of 2015 compared to $1.3 million in revenue in the first quarter of 2016. In addition, sales related to maintenance and repair services declined to $3.3 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $3.8 million in the first quarter of 2015.

Net sales of services related to corporate and regional aircraft were $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $2.9 million for the first quarter of 2015, a decrease of 10.3%.  The decrease in revenue was primarily related to the Aerion AS2 program, which contributed $0.8 million of revenue in the first quarter of 2015 and $0.5 million in revenue in the first quarter of 2016.

Net sales of services for military programs were $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2016, down 12.0% from $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2015.  The decrease in this category was primarily attributable to a decline in sales on the Bell V-280 program, which contributed $0.5 million of revenue in the first quarter of 2015 and was completed in 2015.

Net sales related to design and delivery of tooling on various programs supporting commercial and military aircraft were $0.4 million for the first quarter of 2016 compared to $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2015. Tooling sales on various Boeing programs decreased $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2016 when compared to the first quarter of 2015.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold for the first quarter of 2016 was $9.4 million compared to $12.2 million for the first quarter of 2015.  The decrease in cost of goods sold was primarily due to reductions in direct labor, indirect labor and related fringe benefits resulting from lower demand for this segment and cost reduction activities completed in 2015.

Gross Profit.  Gross profit for the first quarter of 2016 was $1.7 million (15.1% of net sales) compared to $1.3 million (9.6% of net sales) in the first quarter of 2015.  The increase in gross profit was attributable to a decline in wages and related expenses resulting from cost reduction activities completed in 2015.



24


Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2016 were $1.5 million, or 13.4% of net sales, compared to $2.1 million, or 15.6% of net sales, for the first quarter of 2015. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to a decline in salary and related expenses of $0.5 million resulting from cost reduction activities completed in 2015.

Non-segment Expenses

Interest Expense.  Interest expense was $5.3 million for the first quarter of 2016 and $5.6 million for the first quarter of 2015.  

Income Tax Expense.  During the first quarter of 2016, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $0.2 million compared to income expense of $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2015.  

The Company's tax expense in the three months ended March 31, 2015 reflects the recognition of a $0.4 million adjustment resulting from an audit of the Company's 2013 tax return by the Internal Revenue Service. This adjustment, which related to timing differences for certain deductions, is recoverable in future periods. However, due to the fact that the Company is in a full valuation allowance, the adjustment was reflected as an unfavorable charge to net income, as a valuation reserve is offsetting the deferred tax item. The recognition of this adjustment was offset by a current tax benefit of $0.1 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

When viewed with the financial results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and accompanying reconciliations, the Company believes earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA provide additional useful information to clarify and enhance the understanding of the factors and trends affecting past performance and future prospects. The Company defines these measures, explains how they are calculated and provides reconciliations of these measures to the most comparable GAAP measure in the tables below. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as presented in this Form 10-Q, are supplemental measures of performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP.  They are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as alternatives to net cash provided by operating activities as measures of liquidity.  The presentation of these measures should not be interpreted to mean that future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.
 
The Company uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA non-GAAP operating performance measures internally as complementary financial measures to evaluate the performance and trends of the business.  The Company presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because it believes that measures such as these provide useful information with respect to its ability to meet future debt service, capital expenditures, working capital requirements and overall operating performance.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP.  Some of these limitations are:
They do not reflect the Company’s cash expenditures, future expenditures for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
They do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs;
They do not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on debt;
Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
They are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in the statement of cash flows;
They do not reflect the impact on earnings of charges resulting from matters unrelated to ongoing operations; and
Other companies in the Company’s industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.


25



Because of these limitations, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and the related financial ratios should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to the Company to invest in the growth of the business or as a measure of cash that will be available to meet the Company’s obligations.  Furthermore, the definitions of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA calculated here are different than those contained in the Company’s credit agreement.  You should compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on the GAAP results and using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA only supplementary.
 
However, in spite of the above stated limitations, the Company believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful to an investor in evaluating the results of operations because these measures:
Are widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items excluded from the calculation of such terms, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired, among other factors;
Help investors to evaluate and compare the results of operations from period to period by removing the effect of the capital structure from operating performance; and
Are used by the management team for various other purposes in presentations to the Board of Directors as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting.
 
Adjusted EBITDA excludes acquisition and integration charges, as applicable, and provides meaningful information about the operating performance of the businesses apart from other non cash and non-recurring expenses, as well as interest and tax expense.
 
The following financial items have been added back to net income when calculating EBITDA:
Interest expense;
Income tax expense;
Depreciation; and
Amortization.
 
The following additional financial items have been added back to net income when calculating Adjusted EBITDA:
Stock-based compensation;
Integration–related expenses;
Restructuring expenses;
Other (net).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2016, the Company's primary source of outstanding indebtedness was second priority senior secured notes that mature in July of 2019. These notes accrue interest at 7.375% and require semi-annual interest payments. The Company believes that cash generated from operations combined with the borrowings under these notes, in addition to available borrowings under its revolving credit facility, will provide the financial flexibility necessary to achieve its long-range strategic goals. For more information on the Company's debt structure, please see Note 5 - Long-term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

During the first three months of 2016 and 2015, the Company's operating activities used cash of $7.2 million and $9.3 million, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities for the first three months of 2016 was unfavorably impacted by a $8.6 million interest payment associated with the outstanding notes. In addition, an increase of $6.5 million in accounts receivable related to the timing of customer payments also unfavorably impacted operating cash flow in the quarter. Inventory also increased in the quarter by $4.7 million, as the Company prepares for higher demand in subsequent quarters. Operating cash flow in the first quarter of 2016 was favorably impacted by an increase in accounts payable of $7.4 million, primarily due to the growth in inventory.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the first three months of 2015 was unfavorably impacted by a $4.8 million payment of cash consideration to a key customer pursuant to a strategic partnership agreement. In addition, in the first three months of 2015, the Company funded an interest payment of $10.3 million associated with its outstanding notes.

Net cash used for investing activities was $2.4 million for the first three months of 2016, compared to $6.9 million for the first three months of 2015. Capital spending in the first three months of 2016 primarily related to purchases of machinery to support our higher content on the Boeing 737 MAX platform at our Washington, MO manufacturing facility. In 2016, the Company expects to spend approximately $3.0 million to expand this facility. Capital spending in the first three months of 2015 primarily related to the purchase of machinery and equipment to support production contracts in addition to the purchase of equipment for environmental compliance at our Cuba, Missouri plant.

In the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company used cash of $9.1 million to fund operating and investing activities, primarily the semi-annual interest on outstanding senior notes, made principle payments on other long-term debt of $0.9 million and borrowed $1.5 million to finance capital purchases. In the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company used cash of $5.4 million and borrowed $11.5 million on its revolving credit facility to fund operating and investing activities, primarily the semi-annual interest on outstanding senior notes and capital purchases, and made principle payments on other long-term debt of $0.6 million.

The Company, in the ordinary course of business, evaluates strategies to enhance our results of operations, financial position, or liquidity. These strategies may include acquisitions, divestitures, opportunities to reduce costs or increase revenues, and other strategic initiatives to increase stockholder value. We are unable to predict which, if any, of these initiatives will be executed. The execution of these initiatives may have a material impact on our future results of operations, financial position, or liquidity.
