TAT Technologies Reports Second Quarter 2018 Results

GEDERA, Israel, August 30, 2018 - TAT Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: TATT - News) (“TAT” or the “Company”), a leading provider of products and services to the commercial and military aerospace and ground defense industries, reported today its unaudited results for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2018.

Key Financial Highlights:

·
Revenues for Q2 2018 were $24.8 million compared with $26.6 million in Q2 2017.  Revenues for the six-month period that ended on June 30, 2018 were $49.2 million compared with $53.6 million in the six-month period that ended on June 30, 2017.

·
Adjusted EBITDA for Q2 2018 was $(0.3) million compared with $2.4 million in Q2 2017. Adjusted EBITDA for the six-month period that ended on June 30, 2018 was $0.05 million compared with $5.3 million in the six-month period that ended on June 30, 2017.

·
GAAP net loss was $1.4 million, or $0.16 per diluted share in Q2 2018 compared with a net income of $0.6 million, or $0.07 per diluted share in Q2 2017.

·
Non-GAAP net loss of $1.2 million, or $0.14 per diluted share in Q2 2018, compared with non-GAAP net income of $0.8 million, or $0.09 per diluted share in Q2 2017.

Mr. Igal Zamir, CEO and President of TAT Technologies stated, “The first six months of 2018 were challenging. We suffered from delay in order intake. Also, as a preparation for 2018 we invested in employees and machinery which caused an increased level of expenses. Starting Q2 we initiated a plan to increase sales and streamline operations which I expect will improve the results in the second half of 2018. Our increased back-log keeps me optimistic about the future of the company. During the first six months of 2018 we won several long-term strategic contracts with expected revenue over the next few years of approximately USD60M. These contracts position us in the front line of MRO companies both to aircraft manufactures and leading airlines around the world.”
 
Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company also presents a Non-GAAP presentation of Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA.  The adjustments to the Company’s GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of the Company’s underlying operational results, trends and performance.  Non-GAAP Net Income excludes changes, income or losses, as applicable, related to one or more of the following: (1) share-based compensation expenses and/or (2) certain tax impact and/or (3) acquisition related expenses and/or (4) share in results of equity investment of affiliated companies. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income before the Company's share in results and sale of equity investment of affiliated companies, share-based compensation, taxes on income, financial (expenses) income, net, and depreciation and amortization.  Non-GAAP Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA, however, should not be considered as alternatives to net income and operating income for the period and may not be indicative of the historic operating results of the Company; nor they are meant to be predictive of potential future results.  Non-GAAP Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies. See reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Non-GAAP Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA in pages 9 and 13 below.
