CPI's business continued to gain momentum in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. In comparison to the same periods of the prior fiscal year, the company:
- Increased third quarter sales by 14 percent;
- Increased year-to-date orders by four percent and year-to-date sales by 10 percent, generating a book-to-bill ratio of 1.07; and
- Increased third quarter net income by nine percent and adjusted EBITDA by 16 percent.
In addition, during the most recent quarter, CPI:
- Logged record backlog of $245 million as of the end of the quarter; and
- Generated cash flow from operating activities totaling $32.3 million and free cash flow totaling $28.4 million for the 12 months ended July 2, 2010.
"In the third quarter, CPI's end markets continued to strengthen and our top and bottom lines continued to improve as compared to last year and prior quarters," said Joe Caldarelli, chief executive officer. "Business in our defense markets remained stable, and our commercial markets continued to advance. In particular, our commercial communications business has recovered nicely from last year's economic downturn, and demand for our military communications products has remained strong. In our medical market, our x-ray imaging business is growing again, our radiation therapy business continues to be a solid performer and we are enjoying robust demand for products to support MRI applications."
The company's net income results in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 included $3.6 million in expenses related to its proposed merger with Comtech Telecommunications Corp.; there were no such expenses recorded in the same quarter of fiscal 2009. These merger-related expenses, which were for non-recurring transaction costs, reduced CPI's net income in the most recent quarter by approximately $0.12 per share on a diluted basis.
Excluding these non-recurring merger-related expenses, CPI's net income totaled $6.5 million, or $0.35 per share on a diluted basis, in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, representing an increase from the $3.9 million, or $0.22 per share on a diluted basis, generated in the same quarter of the previous year. This increase was primarily due to higher sales volume in the most recent quarter. Including non-recurring merger-related expenses, CPI's net income totaled $4.2 million, or $0.23 per share on a diluted basis, in the third quarter of fiscal 2010.
CPI generated total sales of $93.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, an increase from the $82.5 million generated in the prior year's third quarter. Sales were essentially unchanged in the company's defense markets and increased in its communications and medical markets.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2010, CPI booked orders totaling $283 million, an increase from the $271 million in orders booked during the same period of the previous year. Orders increased in all of the company's commercial markets but decreased in its defense markets due to the timing of orders to support certain radar and electronic warfare programs.
Third quarter adjusted EBITDA equaled $16.7 million, or 17.8 percent of sales, in fiscal 2010. In the prior year's third quarter, adjusted EBITDA totaled $14.4 million, or 17.5 percent of sales. This increase in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher sales volume in the most recent quarter.
As of July 2, 2010, CPI's cash and cash equivalents equaled $47.2 million. For the 12 month period ended on that day, cash flow from operating activities totaled $32.3 million, or $1.82 per share on a diluted basis. Free cash flow for the same period totaled $28.4 million, or $1.60 per share on a diluted basis.
Fiscal 2010 Outlook
Excluding the impact of merger-related expenses, CPI expects its fourth quarter results to be comparable to those of its third quarter and continues to expect its fiscal 2010 financial results to fall within its previously issued guidance ranges.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Information
EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow, free cash flow per share, free cash flow conversion 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 net interest expense, provisions for income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA further adjusted to exclude certain non-recurring or non-cash items. EBITDA margin represents EBITDA divided by sales. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents adjusted EBITDA divided by sales. Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures and patent application fees. Free cash flow per share represents free cash flow divided by average shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis. Free cash flow conversion represents free cash flow divided by net income, expressed as a percentage. 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. In addition, 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, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow, free cash flow per share, free cash flow conversion 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 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, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow, free cash flow per share, free cash flow conversion and adjusted free cash flow differently and, as a result, the company's measures may not be directly comparable to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow, free cash flow per share, free cash flow conversion and adjusted free cash flow of other companies. Because EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow, free cash flow per share, free cash flow conversion and adjusted free cash flow do not include certain material costs, such as interest and taxes in the case of EBITDA-based measures, 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 income or statements of cash flows data prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Certain statements included above constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements provide our current expectations, beliefs or forecasts of future events. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual events or results to differ materially from the results projected, expected or implied by these forward looking statements.

These and other risks are described in more detail in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result of these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. All future written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict these events or how they may affect us.
