SAN DIEGO, Feb. 28, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq:KTOS), a leading
National Security Solutions provider, today reported its fourth quarter and full year 2018 financial results. For the fourth
quarter 2018, Kratos reported Revenues of $164.4 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $18.0 million, or 10.9%, a 13.9% increase over 2017,
Operating Income of $10.8 million, a 172.0% increase over 2017, Cash Flow from Operations of $2.7 million, and a Free Cash Flow
from Operations use of $2.0 million. For the fourth quarter 2018, the Company reported Adjusted EPS* of $0.09, a 28.6%
increase over 2017, Net income of $4.7 million, a 121.2% increase over 2017, and GAAP EPS of $0.04, a 119.0% increase over 2017.
For the fourth quarter of 2018, Kratos reported bookings of $213.4 million and a book-to-bill ratio of 1.3 to
1.0, with backlog at December 30, 2018 of $620.7 million, up sequentially from $571.7 million at September 30, 2018. December
30, 2018 backlog increased approximately 19% when compared to Backlog at December 31, 2017, with 2017 backlog presented on a
comparable basis as if ASC 606 had been adopted at that time, or $519.9 million. In the fourth quarter, Kratos’
bid and proposal pipeline increased by $0.1 million, up to approximately $6.8 billion, at December 30, 2018.
For full year 2018, Kratos reported revenues of $618.0 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $60.5 million, or 9.8%, an
increase of 27.4% over 2017 Adjusted EBITDA of $47.5 million, and Operating Income of $30.5 million, an increase of $42.5 million,
or 354.2%, from a full year Operating loss of $12.0 million in 2017. Fiscal 2018 Cash Flow from Operations was $18.1 million
with a Free Cash Flow from Operations use of $4.5 million, compared to Fiscal 2017 Cash Flow from Operations use of $26.9 million
with a Free Cash Flow from Operations use of $53.0 million, or an improvement of $45.0 million from Cash Flow from Operations in
Fiscal 2017. Improvement in Cash Flow from Operations in 2018 was primarily driven by the improvement in Operating Income,
offset partially by working capital requirements. For full year 2018, the Company reported Adjusted EPS* of $0.24, an
increase of 380% over 2017.
For full year 2018, Kratos reported bookings of $718.8 million and a book-to-bill ratio of 1.2 to 1.0, an
increase of 54.6% or $253.9 million in increased annual bookings and a book-to-bill ratio of 0.8 to 1.0 for full year 2017.
All Kratos businesses recorded a book to bill ratio between 1.1 to 1 to 1.4 to 1 for the full year 2018.
Full year 2018 Net loss was $3.5 million and GAAP EPS was a loss of $0.03, compared to a Net loss of $42.7
million and GAAP EPS loss of $0.48 for full year 2017. Included in the 2017 Net loss was an impairment of goodwill of $24.2
million.
Full year 2018 revenues were up $14.7 million from full year 2017 revenues of $603.3 million. Excluding the impact of the
decline in Kratos’ legacy and non-core government services business, which decreased $17.1 million from 2017 to 2018, from $76.7
million to $59.6 million, Kratos’ revenues increased $31.8 million for full year 2018, or 6.0% organically, compared to full year
2017.
Kratos’ fourth quarter and full year 2018 revenues came in below forecast primarily due to the timing of four
Programs. These programs were either awarded later than expected, or have not ramped as quickly as originally forecast. We also
experienced a delay in our DIU Program, with the related contract award now expected in Q2 2019. We are working closely with
our customers to ramp these new contract awards, including the hiring of highly cleared personnel on two new UAS Programs, and we
are forecasting that each of these contracts will be back on the planned run rate by the middle of 2019, which is reflected in our
2019 guidance, as noted below.
For the fourth quarter of 2018, Kratos’ Government Solutions Division (KGS) generated Revenues of $128.2
million, Adjusted EBITDA of $15.1 million and Operating Income of $11.6 million. For the fourth quarter of 2018, Kratos’
Unmanned Systems Division (KUSD) generated Revenues of $36.2 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $2.9 million and Operating Income of $1.3
million.
For full year 2018, Kratos’ Government Solutions Division (KGS) generated Revenues of $485.1 million, Adjusted
EBITDA of $49.6 million and Operating Income of $35.5 million, up from Revenues of $481.6 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $41.2 million
and an Operating loss of $0.1 million for full year 2017. For full year 2018, Kratos’ Unmanned Systems Division (KUSD)
generated Revenues of $132.9 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $10.9 million and Operating Income of $5.1 million, up from Revenues of
$121.7 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $6.3 million and an Operating loss of $3.6 million for full year 2017.
The details of the Company’s adoption of the new revenue recognition standard, ASC 606, which is reflected on a
prospective basis in 2018, is disclosed in the Company’s annual report filed on Form 10-K.
Eric DeMarco, Kratos’ President and CEO, said, “Kratos completed a very successful 2018, with our Unmanned
Systems Division generating organic growth of approximately 75% over the past 24 months, and we are now forecasting Kratos target
drone business to grow to approximately $250 million in annual revenue over the next few years, or 90% organic growth above 2018
revenues. Additionally, we currently have six customer funded affordable tactical drone development programs, with several
additional programs expected to be under contract by the end of this year. Based on recent customer meetings, we are more
confident than ever that Kratos Unmanned Systems Division will be a leader in the fast growing and forecast to be multi-billion
dollar tactical drone market, and we ultimately expect our tactical drone business to be substantially larger than our target drone
business as we achieve production.”
Mr. DeMarco continued, “Kratos’ space, satellite and training business, our Company’s largest division, which is
also well aligned with DoD priorities, had a strong 2018, and with a last six month book to bill ratio of 1.5 to 1.0, is positioned
for sustained future organic growth. Additionally, Kratos’ ballistic missile targets and hypersonic systems business is
currently pursuing a number of large new program opportunities, which if we are successful and schedules hold, could provide upside
to our 2019 financial forecast, and position the business for further substantial growth in 2020.”
Mr. DeMarco concluded, “Kratos’ business model of utilizing proven leading edge technology, not unproven
bleeding edge technology, which reduces schedule risk, performance risk and cost risk, is a clear competitive differentiator for
our Company, with Kratos’ proven ability to rapidly develop, demonstrate and field technology leading systems at an affordable cost
being highly valued by our customers. Kratos is a unique strategic technology asset, disrupting the national security market,
with the right products at the right price and at the right time.”
Financial Guidance
Kratos is providing first quarter 2019 financial guidance of Revenues of $147 to $157 million, and Adjusted EBITDA of $9 to $11
million, and full year 2019 financial guidance of Revenues of $720 to $760 million, reflecting organic growth of approximately 12.5
percent, and Adjusted EBITDA of $71 to $77 million. The first quarter 2019 financial guidance reflects the estimated impact
of the recent partial government shutdown that has delayed certain domestic and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) contract awards and
export license approvals required for international sales.
The Company is providing full year 2019 cash flow from operations guidance of $40 to $50 million, capital
expenditures of $28 to $30 million, and free cash flow guidance of $10 to $20 million, plus the expected final cash receipt of the
retained working capital of the Company’s divested PSS business of approximately $4 to $6 million. Capital expenditures are
expected to continue to be elevated in 2019, reflecting expected outlays associated with manufacturing equipment for the Company’s
new drone facility in Oklahoma and equipment for a new secured facility of approximately $6 to $8 million and approximately $4 to
$6 million related to company owned aerial target drones the Company plans to build in preparation of fulfilling expected customer
requirements.
This financial guidance includes the expected contribution of Florida Turbine Technologies, which acquisition by
Kratos was also announced earlier today.
Management will discuss the Company’s fourth quarter and full year 2018 financial results, as well as its first
quarter and full year 2019 guidance on a conference call beginning at 2:00 p.m. Pacific (5:00 p.m. Eastern) today. Analysts and

Company’s actual results may differ materially from the results expressed or implied by these statements. Investors are cautioned
not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. All such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date
they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise these statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise. Factors that may cause the Company’s results to differ include, but are not limited to:
risks to our business and financial results related to the reductions and other spending constraints imposed on the U.S. Government
and our other customers, including as a result of sequestration and extended continuing resolutions, the Federal budget deficit and
Federal government shut-downs; risks of adverse regulatory action or litigation; risks associated with debt leverage and cost
savings and cash flow improvements expected as a result of the refinancing of our Senior Notes; risks that our cost-cutting
initiatives will not provide the anticipated benefits; risks that changes, cutbacks or delays in spending by the U.S. DoD may
occur, which could cause delays or cancellations of key government contracts; risks of delays to or the cancellation of our
projects as a result of protest actions submitted by our competitors; risks that changes may occur in Federal government (or other
applicable) procurement laws, regulations, policies and budgets; risks of the availability of government funding for the Company's
products and services due to performance, cost growth, or other factors, changes in government and customer priorities and
requirements (including cost-cutting initiatives, the potential deferral of awards, terminations or reduction of expenditures to
respond to the priorities of Congress and the Administration, or budgetary cuts resulting from Congressional committee
recommendations or automatic sequestration under the Budget Control Act of 2011, as amended); risks of increases in the Federal
government initiatives related to in-sourcing; risks related to security breaches, including cyber security attacks and threats or
other significant disruptions of our information systems, facilities and infrastructures; risks related to our compliance with
applicable contracting and procurement laws, regulations and standards; risks relating to contract performance; risks related to
failure of our products or services; risks associated with our subcontractors’ or suppliers’ failure to perform their contractual
obligations, including the appearance of counterfeit or corrupt parts in our products; changes in the competitive environment
(including as a result of bid protests); failure to successfully integrate acquired operations and competition in the marketplace,
which could reduce revenues and profit margins; risks that potential future goodwill impairments will adversely affect our
operating results; risks that anticipated tax benefits will not be realized in accordance with our expectations; risks that a
change in ownership of our stock could cause further limitation to the future utilization of our net operating losses; risks that
the current economic environment will adversely impact our business; and risks related to natural disasters or severe weather.
These and other risk factors are more fully discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 30,
2018, 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 and capitalized contract and
development costs, stock compensation expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, acquisition and restructuring related items and
other, which includes but is not limited to excess capacity, legal related items and foreign transaction gains and losses, and
impairment of goodwill, 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, stock compensation expense, impairment of
goodwill, loss on extinguishment of debt, foreign transaction gains and losses, and the associated margin rates). Additional
non-GAAP financial measures include Free Cash Flow from Operations and Adjusted EBITDA related to our KUSD and KGS businesses.
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 GAAP. 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.
*Adjusted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS) excludes loss from discontinued operations, non-cash amortization
expense, as the Company has historically been acquisitive, non-cash stock compensation costs, foreign transaction gains and losses,
certain non-recurring items such as acquisition and restructuring related items and other, the loss on extinguishment of debt, and
the non-cash impairment of goodwill, and includes cash actually expected to be paid for income taxes on continuing operations,
reflecting the benefit of the Company’s net operating loss carry forwards of over $300 million. Kratos believes that reporting
Adjusted earnings per share is a meaningful metric to present the Company’s financial results.

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 and capitalized |
|
|
|
|
contract and development costs, acquisition and restructuring related items, impairment of goodwill
and foreign transaction gain (loss). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Amortization of capitalized contract and development costs. The Company
incurs amortization of previously capitalized software development and non- |
|
|
recurring engineering costs related to certain aerial targets in its Unmanned Systems business as
these units are sold. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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 has incurred 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. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Legal related items. The Company incurs costs related to pending legal
settlements and other legal related matters. Management believes |
|
|
|
|
these items are outside the normal operations of the Company's business and 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. |

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 measures for reporting financial |
|
|
performance and 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, 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. |
