CLEVELAND, Aug. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- TransDigm Group Incorporated (NYSE: TDG), a leading global designer, producer and supplier of highly engineered aircraft components, today reported results for the third quarter ended July 2, 2022. The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has authorized and declared a special cash dividend of $18.50 on each outstanding share of common stock and cash dividend equivalent payments under options granted under its stock options plans. The record date for the special dividend is August 19, 2022, and the payment date for the dividend is August 26, 2022.

Third quarter highlights include:

• Net sales of $1,398 million, up 15% from $1,218 million in the prior year's quarter;
• Income from continuing operations of $239 million;
• Earnings per share from continuing operations of $4.10;
• EBITDA As Defined of $696 million, up 25% from $559 million in the prior year's quarter;
• EBITDA As Defined margin of 49.8%, up 390 basis points from the prior year's quarter;
• Adjusted earnings per share of $4.85, up 46% from $3.33 in the prior year's quarter;
• Strong operating cash flow generation of $309 million; and
• Repurchase of $245 million of Company stock during the quarter, equating to 443,598 shares.

The Company's full fiscal 2022 guidance remains suspended as a result of the continued disruption in our primary commercial end markets. Refer to the "Fiscal 2022 Outlook" section below for further information.

Quarter-to-Date Results

Net sales for the quarter increased 14.8%, or $180 million, to $1,398 million from $1,218 million in the comparable quarter a year ago. Organic sales growth as a percentage of net sales was 16.7%.

Income from continuing operations for the quarter decreased $78 million, or 24.6%, to $239 million from $317 million in the comparable quarter a year ago. The decrease in income from continuing operations primarily reflects the higher effective tax rate and a pension settlement charge for the Esterline Retirement Plan. The comparable quarter a year ago also included the benefit of the net gain on sale recognized as a result of the divestitures completed during the third quarter of fiscal 2021. These unfavorable items contributing to the decrease in income from continuing operations were partially offset by the increase in net sales described above and favorable sales mix, along with lower one-time refinancing costs.

Adjusted net income for the quarter increased 44.8% to $281 million, or $4.85 per share, from $194 million, or $3.33 per share, in the comparable quarter a year ago.

EBITDA for the quarter increased 12.4% to $643 million from $572 million for the comparable quarter a year ago. EBITDA As Defined for the quarter increased 24.5% to $696 million compared with $559 million in the comparable quarter a year ago. EBITDA As Defined as a percentage of net sales for the quarter was 49.8% compared with 45.9% in the comparable quarter a year ago.

During the thirteen week period ended July 2, 2022, TransDigm repurchased 443,598 shares of its common stock with a weighted-average price per share of $553.62 at an aggregate cost of approximately $245 million.

As previously reported, on May 25, 2022, TransDigm completed the acquisition of DART Aerospace ("DART"), a portfolio company of Greenbriar Equity Group, L.P., for approximately $360 million in cash. DART is an industry leader in helicopter mission equipment with established positions on a diverse range of rotary-wing platforms.

"Global air traffic continues to trend upwards with the pent-up demand for air travel. This positive momentum bodes well for the commercial aerospace recovery. Domestic air travel remains the leader in the air traffic recovery, but the international air traffic recovery made strides these past few months as more passengers returned to long-haul travel," stated Kevin Stein, TransDigm Group's President and Chief Executive Officer. "I am pleased to see another quarter of sequential improvement in our commercial aftermarket revenues, with the commercial aftermarket bookings for the quarter outpacing revenues. We also saw further sequential expansion of our EBITDA As Defined margin this quarter to 49.8%. This was a result of the continued recovery in our commercial aftermarket revenues, coupled with careful management of our cost structure and focus on our operating strategy.

During the quarter, we returned $245 million of capital to shareholders via open market repurchases of our common stock. We view these repurchases like any other capital investment, and we expect this investment will meet or exceed our long-term return objectives.

Additionally, given the significant amount of cash currently available, our solid operating performance and ongoing expectations, we believe that this is the appropriate time to declare and pay a special dividend, as we have done in the past. The payout of a special dividend of $18.50 per share will leave us with significant liquidity and financial flexibility to meet any likely range of capital requirements or other opportunities.

In the aggregate, thus far this fiscal year, we have deployed approximately $2.4 billion of capital across the DART acquisition, today's announced dividend, and share repurchases.  As you know, we are always continuously evaluating our capital allocation options and are pleased to have deployed this amount of capital across the range of options available to us."

Year-to-Date Results

Net sales for the thirty-nine week period ended July 2, 2022 increased 11.4%, or $400 million, to $3,919 million from $3,519 million in the comparable period a year ago. Organic sales growth as a percentage of net sales was 13.6%.

Income from continuing operations for the thirty-nine week period ended July 2, 2022 increased $128 million, or 27.1%, to $601 million from $473 million in the comparable period a year ago. The increase in income from continuing operations primarily reflects the increase in net sales described above and favorable sales mix, along with lower COVID-19 restructuring costs and lower one-time refinancing costs, partially offset by a higher effective tax rate. The comparable period a year ago also included the benefit of the net gain on sale recognized as a result of the divestitures completed during the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

GAAP earnings per share were reduced in fiscal 2022 and 2021 by $0.78 per share and $1.24 per share, respectively, as a result of dividend equivalent payments made during each year. As a reminder, GAAP earnings per share are reduced when TransDigm makes dividend equivalent payments pursuant to the Company's stock option plans. These dividend equivalent payments are made during the Company's first fiscal quarter each year and also upon payment of any special dividends.

Adjusted net income for the thirty-nine week period ended July 2, 2022 increased 48.9% to $685 million, or $11.68 per share, from $460 million, or $7.88 per share, in the comparable period a year ago.

EBITDA for the thirty-nine week period ended July 2, 2022 increased 24.0% to $1,753 million from $1,414 million for the comparable period a year ago. EBITDA As Defined for the period increased 22.0% to $1,894 million compared with $1,552 million in the comparable period a year ago. EBITDA As Defined as a percentage of net sales for the period was 48.3% compared with 44.1% in the comparable period a year ago.

During the thirty-nine week period ended July 2, 2022, TransDigm repurchased 1,490,413 shares of its common stock with a weighted-average price per share of $612.13 at an aggregate cost of approximately $912 million. As previously reported, on January 27, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a new $2,200 million stock repurchase program to replace the existing program permitting the repurchase of a portion of TransDigm's outstanding shares. As of July 2, 2022, the remaining amount of repurchases allowed under the new program was approximately $1,288 million.

Information regarding fiscal 2022 EBITDA As Defined margins, expected defense market revenue growth, tax rates, interest expense, capital expenditures and select accounting information is included in the slide presentation available for today's earnings call.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Information

EBITDA, EBITDA As Defined, EBITDA As Defined Margin, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release as supplemental disclosures to net income and reported results. TransDigm Group defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and defines EBITDA As Defined as EBITDA plus certain non-operating items recorded as corporate expenses, including non-cash compensation charges incurred in connection with TransDigm Group's stock incentive plans, restructuring costs related to TransDigm Group's cost reduction measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, foreign currency gains and losses, acquisition-integration costs, acquisition and divestiture transaction-related expenses, and refinancing costs. COVID-19 restructuring costs represent actions taken by the Company to reduce its workforce to align with customer demand, as well as incremental costs related to the pandemic that are not expected to recur once the pandemic has subsided and are clearly separable from normal operations (e.g., additional cleaning and disinfecting of facilities by contractors above and beyond normal requirements, personal protective equipment). Acquisition and divestiture-related costs represent accounting adjustments to inventory associated with acquisitions of businesses and product lines that were charged to cost of sales when the inventory was sold; costs incurred to integrate acquired businesses and product lines into the Company's operations, facility relocation costs and other acquisition-related costs; transaction-related costs for both acquisitions and divestitures comprising deal fees; legal, financial and tax diligence expenses and valuation costs that are required to be expensed as incurred and other acquisition accounting adjustments. TransDigm Group defines adjusted net income as net income plus purchase accounting backlog amortization expense, effects from the sale on businesses, non-cash compensation charges incurred in connection with TransDigm Group's stock incentive plans, restructuring costs related to TransDigm Group's cost reduction measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, foreign currency gains and losses, acquisition-integration costs, acquisition transaction-related expenses, and refinancing costs. EBITDA As Defined Margin represents EBITDA As Defined as a percentage of net sales. TransDigm Group defines adjusted diluted earnings per share as adjusted net income divided by the total shares for basic and diluted earnings per share. For more information regarding the computation of EBITDA, EBITDA As Defined and adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share, please see the attached financial tables.

TransDigm Group presents these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that they are useful indicators of its operating performance. TransDigm Group believes that EBITDA is useful to investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to measure operating performance among companies with different capital structures, effective tax rates and tax attributes, capitalized asset values and employee compensation structures, all of which can vary substantially from company to company. In addition, analysts, rating agencies and others use EBITDA to evaluate a company's ability to incur and service debt. EBITDA As Defined is used to measure TransDigm Inc.'s compliance with the financial covenant contained in its credit facility. TransDigm Group's management also uses EBITDA As Defined to review and assess its operating performance, to prepare its annual budget and financial projections and to review and evaluate its management team in connection with employee incentive programs. Moreover, TransDigm Group's management uses EBITDA As Defined to evaluate acquisitions and as a liquidity measure. In addition, TransDigm Group's management uses adjusted net income as a measure of comparable operating performance between time periods and among companies as it is reflective of changes in pricing decisions, cost controls and other factors that affect operating performance.

None of EBITDA, EBITDA As Defined, EBITDA As Defined Margin, adjusted net income or adjusted earnings per share is a measurement of financial performance under U.S. GAAP and such financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, earnings per share, cash flows from operating activities or other measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, TransDigm Group's calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Although we use EBITDA and EBITDA As Defined as measures to assess the performance of our business and for the other purposes set forth above, the use of these non-GAAP financial measures as analytical tools has limitations, and you should not consider any of them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations as reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

• neither EBITDA nor EBITDA As Defined reflects the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements, necessary to service interest payments on our indebtedness;
• although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and neither EBITDA nor EBITDA As Defined reflects any cash requirements for such replacements;
• the omission of the substantial amortization expense associated with our intangible assets further limits the usefulness of EBITDA and EBITDA As Defined;
• neither EBITDA nor EBITDA As Defined includes the payment of taxes, which is a necessary element of our operations; and
• EBITDA As Defined excludes the cash expense we have incurred to integrate acquired businesses into our operations, which is a necessary element of certain of our acquisitions.

(1)		For the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended July 2, 2022, the Tax adjustment represents the tax effect of the adjustments at the applicable effective tax rate, as well as the impact on the effective tax rate when excluding the excess tax benefits on stock option exercises.

Interest expense and stock compensation expense are excluded from adjusted net income and therefore we have excluded the impact that the release of the valuation allowance applicable to the net interest deduction limitation carryforward and excess tax benefits on stock option exercises have on the effective tax rate for determining adjusted net income.
