Herley Reports Earnings for Second Quarter of Fiscal 2010
Revenues increase 17% to $46.6 million; Net income up 76% to $3.8 million $.27 EPS; EBITDA of $7.1 million
Conference Call Scheduled for Friday, March 12, 2010
LANCASTER, Pa., March 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Herley Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: HRLY) today reported financial results for its Second Quarter of Fiscal Year 2010.
Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 were $46.6 million compared to $40.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Net income for the first quarter was $3.8 million, or $.27 per diluted share, compared to $2.2 million, or $.16 per diluted share, last year.
The Company's EBITDA for the second quarter of 2010 was $7.1 million compared to $4.6 million last year. The Company's Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2010 was $6.8 million compared to $4.6 million last year. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating income plus the impact of foreign exchange transactions, excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, employment and litigation settlements, litigation costs, asset impairments and gains (losses) on asset sales.
The Company reported a revenue increase of $6.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to last year. The 17% increase was primarily related to increased deliveries under major production programs, as well as sales volume increases associated with manufacturing process improvements. Gross profit in the quarter was $12.9 million (27.6% gross profit margin) compared to $9.7 million (24.2% gross profit margin) last year, an increase of $3.2 million. The increase in gross profit and gross profit margin during fiscal 2010 was principally a result of leveraging our fixed costs on the sales increase, as well as anticipated improvements in margins related to manufacturing efficiencies and a favorable program mix, partially offset by a contract loss accrual related to projected cost increases on certain programs.
Selling and administrative ("S&A") expenses for the second quarter were $7.7 million, or 16.6% of sales, compared to $7.0 million, or 17.6% of sales, last year. The $.7 million increase in S&A expenses was primarily attributable to an increased bid and proposal costs, as well as an increase in commissions and related sales expenses associated with the increase in sales, partially offset by lesser intangible amortization costs related to the prior-year acquisition of Eyal.
The Company reported operating income during the second quarter of fiscal 2010 of $5.4 million compared to $2.6 million last year.
At January 31, 2010, the Company's balance sheet is strong, with total cash and cash equivalents of $12.1 million, working capital of $90.4 million and long-term debt of $12.8 million. Capital expenditures were $1.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $.6 million last year.
Richard F. Poirier, Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, "We are pleased with our second quarter performance and the continued improvement in our year-over-year net sales and net income. Our backlog remains strong and our bookings are on plan. We anticipate a number of large orders in the second half of the fiscal year which are expected to fuel our continued improved performance."

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
EBITDA AND ADJUSTED EBITDA
(Unaudited)
The following is a reconciliation of operating income, which is a GAAP
measure of our operating results, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.
Management believes that the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is
appropriate to provide additional information about the Company's results.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not presentations made in accordance with
GAAP, are not measures of financial performance or condition, liquidity or
profitability of the Company, and should not be considered as an
alternative to (1) net income, operating income or any other performance
measures determined in accordance with GAAP or (2) operating cash flows
determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA are not intended to be measures of free cash flow for management's
discretionary use, as they do not consider certain cash requirements such
as interest payments, tax payments, capital expenditures and debt service
requirements.
