Revenues of $167.8 Million Increase 9.7 Percent
Over First Quarter 2016 Revenues
Affirms Fiscal 2017 Financial Guidance
SAN DIEGO, May 04, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq:KTOS), a leading National Security
Solutions provider, today reported its first quarter 2017 financial results. For the first quarter ended March 26, 2017,
Kratos generated revenues and Adjusted EBITDA of $167.8 million and $10.6 million, respectively. First quarter 2017 revenues
increased 9.7 percent over first quarter 2016 revenues of $153.0 million, and 2017 Adjusted EBITDA more than doubled at $10.6
million, up from first quarter 2016 Adjusted EBITDA of $4.6 million. Kratos’ book to bill ratio in the first quarter of 2017
was 0.9 to 1.0, including book to bill ratios of 2.3 to 1.0 in Kratos’ Unmanned Systems Division, and 1.9 to 1.0 in Kratos’
Microwave Electronic Products Division. For the last twelve months ended March 26, 2017, Kratos’ book to bill ratio was 1.0
to 1.0. Kratos’ total backlog at the end of the first quarter of 2017 was approximately $878.3 million, including funded and
unfunded backlog of approximately $616.2 million and $262.1 million, respectively. Kratos’ bid and proposal pipeline at March
26, 2017 was $5.9 billion.
Kratos’ business units contributing to the first quarter 2017 year-over-year growth included: 15.6 percent
growth in Satellite Communications, Cyber Security, Technology and Training Solutions, 9.9 percent growth in Unmanned Systems, and
21.9 percent growth in Public Safety and Security. Recent contract awards in the satellite communications business area,
where Kratos provides command, control, communication and RF Interference Mitigation products and solutions, U.S. Marine Corp, U.S.
Air Force and other customer training systems, and high performance jet powered unmanned tactical combat and target drone aerial
systems were primary organic growth contributors for the first quarter of 2017. Year over year growth in the Company’s
Public Safety and Security business was driven primarily by security system and related communication equipment integration under a
security system deployment program for a Mass Transportation Authority in a large metropolitan area.
For the first quarter ended March 26, 2017, approximately 57% of Kratos’ revenue was derived from U.S. Federal
Government related customers, approximately 34% from commercial, state and local government customers, and approximately 9% from
international customers.
During the first quarter of 2017, Kratos completed an equity offering generating net proceeds of approximately
$81.9 million, after underwriting costs, fees and expenses. Consistent with the Company’s stated use of proceeds raised in
the equity offering, cash of approximately $64.0 million was utilized during the first quarter to retire $62.7 million of the
Company’s Senior Notes, bringing the total amount outstanding of total debt at March 26, 2017 to $374.3 million. The
Company’s cash balance at March 26, 2017 was $73.4 million, yielding a total net debt position at the end of the first quarter of
2017 of $300.9 million. Over the last two fiscal quarters, the Company has retired $77.2 million of the Company’s Senior
Notes, reducing the Company’s annual cash interest payments by approximately $5.4 million.
During the first quarter, the Company made investments of approximately $7.2 million, including capital
expenditures of $5.2 million primarily related to its Unmanned Systems and Satellite Communications businesses, and approximately
$2.0 million in development costs related to the Low Cost Attritable Strike Demonstrator (LCASD) tactical unmanned aircraft where
Kratos will retain intellectual property rights. Cash flow from operating activities for the first quarter of 2017 was a use
of approximately $8.7 million, reflecting the $2.0 million in LCASD development costs, and net working capital requirements of
approximately $6.7 million primarily related to the build of inventory in anticipation of future scheduled product
deliveries.
For the quarter ended March 26, 2017, net loss was $10.0 million, adjusted loss per share was $(0.01). Adjusted
income per share excludes loss from discontinued operations, non-cash amortization expenses, as the Company has historically been
acquisitive, non-cash stock compensation costs, foreign transaction gains and losses, and certain non-recurring items such as
acquisition and restructuring related items and other, and loss on extinguishment of debt, and includes cash actually expected to
be paid for income taxes on continuing operations, reflecting the benefit of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards
of over $300 million. Kratos believes that reporting adjusted income (loss) per share is a meaningful metric to present the
Company’s financial results. GAAP earnings per share was a loss of $(0.13).
Kratos is affirming its previously provided 2017 guidance for revenues of $700 to $720 million, and Adjusted
EBITDA of $52 to $54 million, with a similar quarterly revenue and Adjusted EBITDA trajectory as experienced in 2016. Kratos
is providing second quarter 2017 revenue guidance of $170 to $176 million and Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $8 million to $12
million.
Eric DeMarco, Kratos’ President and CEO, said, “Kratos’ performance in the first quarter exceeded our
expectations, including continued strength and customer demand in our Satellite Communications, Cyber Security, Technology and
Training division. This division had a full year and fourth quarter 2016 book to bill ratio of 1.2 to 1.0 that we are now executing
on. Kratos’ Satellite Communication business, the largest in our Company, is seeing strength across virtually every capability
area, and we are forecasting this strong performance to continue going forward due to increasing bandwidth demands, and threats to
U.S. space based assets. We are also seeing strong customer demand in Kratos’ Cyber Security and Training Systems business
areas, where we won several large new program awards in 2016 which are just now beginning to ramp up, and where we are hopeful of
receiving another very large new contract award later on this year.”
Mr. DeMarco continued, “In Kratos’ Unmanned Systems Division, in the first quarter we received Production Lot 13
from the U.S. Air Force for Kratos’ BQM 167 unmanned aerial target drone aircraft, one of the largest programs in our
Company. We also received a contract award from a separate customer for a new jet powered high performance unmanned aerial
drone system, where Kratos will initially be providing system engineering, avionics, data links and ground systems. If
a 2017 Department of Defense (DoD) budget is approved, we would expect to begin production in the following few months on the U.S.
Navy SSAT program for the BQM 177 unmanned aerial target drone system and on a confidential customer program. Once in
production, we expect the SSAT Program to become one of the largest in Kratos over the following few years, and these two programs
are expected to be key drivers to a doubling in size of Kratos’ unmanned systems business as they achieve full rate production.”
Mr. DeMarco went on, “In the first quarter, we continued to make important progress in our tactical unmanned
aerial system (UAS) initiative with advancement to Phase II of the DARPA Gremlins Program as a subcontractor on the Dynetics
team. On the Dynetics team, Kratos will design, develop and build prototype Gremlin Tactical UASs, tooling, support
equipment, etc. On Kratos’ prime LCASD tactical UAS contract with the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL), we are on budget and on
schedule for an estimated second quarter 2018 maiden flight. Kratos’ prime contract with the Defense Innovation Unit
Experimental (DIUx) also currently remains on budget and on schedule for a second half 2017 demonstration with several Kratos Mako
tactical UASs, previously named UTAP-22, set to fly in a major exercise.
Mr. DeMarco concluded, “In 2016, Kratos returned to growth, and we expect that growth to continue and to
accelerate in 2017. In a few select areas, including satellite communications, microwave electronics, high performance UASs
and training systems we believe that we are extremely well positioned, having the right products at the right price point to
address mission critical National Security priority areas. We have recently recapitalized the Company, significantly reducing
our debt and delevering the balance sheet, positioning Kratos to successfully execute on the multiple new contract awards we have
recently received, and to fund the expected future growth of the business.”
Management will discuss the Company’s first quarter 2017 financial results and second quarter 2017 guidance in a
conference call beginning at 2:00 p.m. Pacific (5:00 p.m. Eastern) today. Analysts and institutional investors may participate in

Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 25, 2016, and in our other filings made with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This news release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted income (loss) per share (computed using
income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, excluding amortization of intangible assets, stock compensation
expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, contract design retrofit costs, acquisition and restructuring related items and
other which includes but is not limited to unused office space expense, excess capacity, investments in unmanned combat systems
initiatives, and foreign transaction gains and losses, less the estimated tax cash payments) and Adjusted EBITDA (which
excludes, among other things, losses and gains from discontinued operations, restructuring and transaction related items,
investments in unmanned combat systems initiatives, stock compensation expense, unused office space expense, and foreign
transaction gains and losses, and the associated margin rates). Kratos believes this information is useful to
investors because it provides a basis for measuring the Company’s available capital resources, the actual and forecasted operating
performance of the Company’s business and the Company’s cash flow, excluding extraordinary items and non-cash items that would
normally be included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures along with the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measures in evaluating the Company’s actual and forecasted operating performance, capital resources and
cash flow. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial
information presented in compliance with GAAP, and investors should carefully evaluate the Company’s financial results calculated
in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures as
reported by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies. As appropriate, the
most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and information reconciling these non-GAAP financial measures to the Company’s
financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP are included in this news release.

Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP
Measures |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note: (1) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined as GAAP net
income (loss) plus (income) loss from discontinued operations, net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization, stock compensation, amortization of intangible assets, foreign transaction gain (loss), acquisition
and restructuring related items, contract design retrofit costs, investment in unmanned combat systems, litigation related
charges, unused office space expense and costs related to pending customer change orders. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Adjusted EBITDA as calculated by us may be calculated differently than
Adjusted EBITDA for other companies. We have provided Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is a commonly used
measure of financial performance in comparable companies and is provided to help investors evaluate companies on a
consistent basis, as well as to enhance understanding of our operating results. Adjusted EBITDA should not be
construed as either an alternative to net income or as an indicator of our operating performance or an alternative to cash
flows as a measure of liquidity. The adjustments to calculate this non-GAAP financial measure and the basis for such
adjustments are outlined below. |
|
Please refer to the following table below that reconciles GAAP net
income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The adjustments to calculate this non-GAAP financial measure, and the
basis for such adjustments, are outlined below: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Interest income and expense. The Company
receives interest income on investments and incurs interest expense on loans, capital leases and other financing
arrangements, including the amortization of issue discounts and deferred financing costs. These amounts may vary from
period to period due to changes in cash and debt balances. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Income taxes. The Company's tax expense can
fluctuate materially from period to period due to tax adjustments that may not be directly related to underlying operating
performance or to the current period of operations and may not necessarily reflect the impact of utilization of our NOLs. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Depreciation. The Company incurs depreciation
expense (recorded in cost of revenues and in operating expenses) related to capital assets purchased or constructed to support
the ongoing operations of the business. The assets are recorded at cost or fair value and are depreciated over the
estimated useful lives of individual assets. |
|
Amortization of intangible assets. The Company incurs
amortization of intangible expense related to acquisitions it has made. These intangible assets are valued at the time of
acquisition and are amortized over the estimated useful lives. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Stock-based compensation expense. The Company
incurs expense related to stock-based compensation included in its GAAP presentation of selling, general and administrative
expense. Although stock-based compensation is an expense of the Company and viewed as a form of compensation,
these expenses vary in amount from period to period, and are affected by market forces that are difficult to predict and
are not within the control of management, such as the market price and volatility of the Company's shares, risk-free
interest rates and the expected term and forfeiture rates of the awards. Management believes that exclusion of these
expenses allows comparison of operating results to those of other companies that disclose non-GAAP financial measures that
exclude stock-based compensation. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Foreign transaction (gain) loss. The Company
incurs transaction gains and losses related to transactions with foreign customers in currencies other than the U.S.
dollar. In addition, certain intercompany transactions can give rise to realized and unrealized foreign currency gains
and losses. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Acquisition and restructuring related items.
The Company incurs transaction related costs, such as legal and accounting fees and other expenses, related to acquisitions and
divestiture activities. Management believes these items are outside the normal operations of the Company's business and are
not indicative of ongoing operating results. |
|
Excess capacity and restructuring costs. The
Company incurs excess capacity and excess overhead costs related to certain of its manufacturing businesses within its Unmanned
Systems and Modular Systems businesses due primarily to underutilization of manufacturing facilities and support costs
resulting from less than optimal volumes and efficiencies. The Company incurs restructuring costs for cost reduction actions
which include employee termination costs, facility shut-down related costs and remaining lease commitment costs for excess or
exited facilities. Management believes that these costs are not indicative of ongoing operating results as they are
either non-recurring and/or not expected when full capacity and volumes are achieved. |
|
Litigation related items. The Company
periodically incurs expenses related to pending claims and litigation and associated legal fees and potential case settlements
and/or judgments. Although we may incur such costs and other related charges and adjustments, we do not believe it is
indicative of any particular outcome until the matter is fully resolved. Management believes these items are outside the
normal operations of the Company's business and are not indicative of ongoing operating results. |
|
Investment in unmanned combat systems. The
Company makes discretionary investments related to its tactical unmanned combat systems initiative with the intention of
retaining the intellectual property and data package rights of the technology it is developing. Management believes these
rights will result in securing future sole source positions on new platforms which will provide an attractive rate of
return. Management believes that these costs are not indicative of ongoing operating results. |
|
Contract design retrofits. The Company makes
certain design retrofits primarily related to its development programs in its Unmanned Systems business which are necessary for
the final design and configuration of these vehicles. Management believes that these costs are not indicative of
ongoing operating results. |
|
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP
financial measure may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies. The
Company expects to continue to incur expenses similar to the Adjusted EBITDA financial adjustments described above, and
investors should not infer from the Company's presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure that these costs are
unusual, infrequent, or non-recurring. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reconciliation of Net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA is as follows: |

Unaudited Non-GAAP Measures |
|
Computation of Adjusted Earnings Per
Share |
|
(in millions, except per share
data) |
|
|
Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations and
adjusted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS) are non-GAAP measure for reporting financial performance, exclude the impact of
certain items and, therefore, have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that exclusion of
these items assists in providing a more complete understanding of the Company's underlying continuing operations results and
trends and allows for comparability with our peer company index and industry. The Company uses these measures along
with the corresponding GAAP financial measures to manage the Company's business and to evaluate its performance compared
to prior periods and the marketplace. The Company defines adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations before
amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, foreign transaction gain/loss, contract design retrofit costs
and acquisition and restructuring related items and other. The Company uses the estimated cash tax provision in
computing adjusted earnings per share to reflect the benefit from the utilization of the Company's net operating losses.
Adjusted EPS expresses adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations on a per share basis using weighted average
diluted shares outstanding. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following table reconciles the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures. |
