CPI International Announces Second Quarter 2007 Financial Results
PALO ALTO, Calif., May 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CPI International, Inc. (Nasdaq: CPII), the parent company of Communications & Power Industries, Inc., a leading provider of microwave, radio frequency, power and control solutions for critical defense, communications, medical, scientific and other applications, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2007 second quarter ended March 30, 2007.
Total sales of $88.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007, the highest quarterly sales level since the company's inception in 1995, increased approximately two percent from the $86.9 million generated in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. For the first six months of fiscal 2007, CPI generated orders totaling $184.2 million and sales totaling $172.2 million, resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of 1.07.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2007, net income of $5.8 million, or $0.32 per share on a diluted basis, increased from the $4.3 million, or $0.29 per share on a diluted basis, generated in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. EBITDA of $16.3 million increased approximately two percent from the $16.1 million generated in the comparable quarter of the previous year.
As compared to the same quarter of the previous fiscal year, CPI's financial results in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 did not include certain material unusual charges. In the same quarter in the previous fiscal year, the company's financial results were impacted by move-related expenses, including indirect expenses for unfavorable overhead absorption and manufacturing variances related to the relocation of the company's Eimac operations; favorable foreign currency hedge contracts that expired in March 2006; higher debt levels, with resulting higher interest expense; and a higher effective tax rate.
As of March 30, 2007, CPI's cash and cash equivalents totaled $27.6 million, an increase from the $7.8 million reported as of March 31, 2006. For this 12 month period, net cash provided by operating activities totaled $21.7 million, free cash flow totaled $11.3 million and adjusted free cash flow totaled $26.9 million.
"CPI's solid financial performance in the first half of fiscal 2007 is in line with our expectations and our previously issued guidance, and we are pleased with the growth we are generating in our orders and sales," said Joe Caldarelli, chief executive officer. "The first two quarters of fiscal 2007 were strong, straightforward quarters for CPI, laying a healthy foundation from which to launch the second half of the fiscal year."
Second Quarter Fiscal 2007 Sales and Orders Highlights
CPI serves the radar, electronic warfare, medical, communications, industrial and scientific markets. Key sales and orders highlights in these markets during the second quarter of fiscal 2007 included:
* On a combined basis, in the radar and electronic warfare markets, sales decreased three percent from an aggregate of $37.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 to an aggregate of $36.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. This slight decrease was primarily due to timing. In prior periods, orders for certain U.S. and foreign defense programs were delayed, resulting in lower shipments of products for these programs in the most recent quarter. Although, the timing of orders for certain programs can result in fluctuations in sales from quarter to quarter, CPI believes that overall, long-term demand for its defense products remains robust. For the first six months of fiscal 2007, CPI's orders and sales in the combined radar and electronic warfare markets totaled $76.3 million and $70.3 million, respectively, generating a book-to-bill ratio of 1.09 in these markets.
* In the medical market, sales increased 21 percent to $17.0 million in the most recent quarter from $14.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. This increase was primarily driven by increases in sales of products used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems, x-ray generators for U.S. and foreign customers and products used in radiation therapy for the treatment of cancer.
* In the communications market, sales decreased six percent from $28.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 to $27.0 million in the most recent quarter. In the second quarter of fiscal 2006, CPI had particularly strong sales of traditional satellite communications amplifiers, primarily due to large shipments of traditional amplifiers for direct-to-home broadcast applications. The decrease in communications sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 principally resulted from a decrease in sales of these traditional satellite communications amplifiers, including those used for direct-to-home broadcast applications. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in shipments of CPI's newer satellite communications products, including Ka-band, or, 30 gigahertz, products used for direct-to-home broadcast and other applications.
* Sales in CPI's two smallest markets increased from the second quarter of fiscal 2006. In the industrial market, sales increased 21 percent to $6.4 million from $5.3 million. In the scientific market, sales increased 31 percent to $1.7 million from $1.3 million.
* Total orders for all of CPI's markets increased seven percent to $184.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2007 from $172.1 million in the first six months of fiscal 2006. Orders in five of CPI's six markets increased during the period; orders in the electronic warfare market were essentially flat. The combined book-to-bill ratio for all of CPI's markets in the first six months of fiscal 2007 was 1.07.
Fiscal 2007 Outlook CPI is reaffirming its previously issued financial outlook for the current fiscal year. In fiscal 2007, the company expects to generate:
* Between $350 million and $355 million in total sales,
* Between $1.24 and $1.30 in net income per share on a diluted basis, assuming an overall ongoing effective tax rate of approximately 38 percent,
* Between $21.9 million and $23.0 million in net income,
* Between $68.0 million and $70.0 million in adjusted EBITDA and
* Between $20.0 million and $25.0 million in adjusted free cash flow.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Information
EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow presented above and in the financial information attached hereto are non-generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) financial measures. EBITDA represents earnings before provisions for income taxes, net interest expense and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash and non- recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents adjusted EBITDA divided by sales. Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow represents free cash flow further adjusted to exclude certain non-recurring items. For more information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures for the periods presented and a reconciliation of these measures to GAAP financial information, please see the attached financial information; this press release and the attached financial information are available in the investor relations section of the company's Web site at http://investor.cpii.com.
CPI believes that GAAP-based financial information for leveraged businesses, such as the company's business, should be supplemented by EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow so that investors better understand the company's operating performance in connection with their analysis of the company's business. In addition, CPI's management team uses EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the company's operating performance, to monitor compliance with certain covenants of its senior credit facility, to make day-to-day operating decisions and as a component in the calculation of management bonuses. Other companies may define EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow differently and, as a result, the company's measures may not be directly comparable to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow of other companies. Because EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow do not include certain material costs, such as interest and taxes, necessary to operate the company's business, when analyzing the company's business, these non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, net income (loss), net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, net income margin or other statements of operations or statements of cash flows data prepared in accordance with GAAP.
