4. Segments and Related Information

The Company has two reportable segments: vacuum electronic devices (“VEDs”) and satcom equipment. The CEO, identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker, evaluates performance and allocates resources based on the Company’s principle performance measure, earnings before income taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”).

Summarized financial information concerning the Company’s reportable segments is shown in the following table. Included in the “Other” column is financial information for the Company’s Solid State Products Division, which did not meet the quantitative thresholds, and certain unallocated corporate-level operating expenses. Intersegment product transfers are recorded at cost.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion reflects the condensed consolidated results of Communications & Power Industries Holding Corporation, which are materially consistent with those of CPI except as identified below and should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto:

The Company serves the communications, radar, electronic countermeasures, industrial, medical and scientific markets. In addition, the Company divides the communications market into applications for ground-based satellite uplinks for military and commercial uses (“satcom”) and broadcast sectors. The Company defines and discusses its orders and sales trends by the end markets to more clearly relate its business to outside investors. Internally, however, the Company is organized into six operating units that are differentiated based on products. Four of these operating units comprise the Company’s vacuum electronic device (“VED”) segment. The Company also has a satellite communications equipment segment and a solid state products segment. Segment data is included in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

Orders during the first quarter of Fiscal 2002 were $71.4 million as compared to $67.8 million for the first quarter of Fiscal 2001. This increase of $3.6 million for the quarter reflects a higher demand for products in the radar and scientific markets, offset somewhat by decreases in orders for the Company’s remaining four markets. Radar orders increased by $7.6 million, or 29.7%, due to higher demand for spare and rebuilt VED’s used in military applications. Orders in the scientific market increased $5.0 million from approximately $1.0 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2001 due primarily to the booking of the final phase of an order from a government research laboratory. Communication orders decreased $4.4 million or 17.3% from the first quarter of Fiscal 2001 due to reduced capital spending by the Company’s customers driven by current economic conditions. Medical, electronic countermeasures and industrial orders also decreased by $1.9 million, $0.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively, due primarily to timing of order releases from quarter to quarter. Overall, incoming order levels fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis and a particular quarter’s order rate may not be indicative of future order levels. In addition, the Company’s sales are highly dependent upon manufacturing scheduling, performance and shipments and, accordingly, it is not possible to accurately predict when these orders will be recognized as sales.

As of December 28, 2001, the Company had an order backlog of $157.0 million, representing approximately seven-and-a-half months of sales, compared to order backlog of $166.8 million, or approximately eight months of sales, as of December 29, 2000. Order backlog increased during the first quarter of Fiscal 2002 by $5.5 million from $151.5 million at the end of Fiscal 2001.

Sales for the first quarter of Fiscal 2002 were $66.2 million, an increase of $5.8 million, or 9.6%, from the same period in Fiscal 2001. This increase was driven primarily by sales in the communications and scientific markets, which demonstrated growth of 20.1% and 113.9% respectively, compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 2001. Sales in the communications market for the first quarter of Fiscal 2002 included the final units of the XM Radio project, which contributed sales of approximately $5.0 million. Sales to

COMMUNICATIONS & POWER INDUSTRIES HOLDING CORPORATION
and subsidiaries

COMMUNICATIONS & POWER INDUSTRIES, INC.,
and subsidiaries
(A wholly owned subsidiary of Communications & Power Industries Holding Corporation)

the Company’s other markets were up slightly on average from the first quarter of Fiscal 2001.

Gross profit for the first quarter of Fiscal 2002 was $14.2 million, or 21.4% of sales, consistent with the $12.8 million, or 21.2% of sales, earned in the first quarter of Fiscal 2001. Margin fluctuations are expected due to the mix of products sold during any quarter.

Operating costs and expenses were $9.9 million, or 14.9 % of sales, for the first quarter of Fiscal 2002 as compared to $9.6 million, or 15.9 % of sales, for the first quarter of Fiscal 2001. This improvement as a percentage of sales reflects the cost savings resulting from the Company’s cost cutting measures implemented in the latter half of Fiscal 2001 and in the first quarter of Fiscal 2002. The reduction in expenses was offset in part by approximately $370,000 associated with the relocation of the Satcom Division operation from Palo Alto, California to the facility in Ontario, Canada.

Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”)¹ for the first quarter of Fiscal 2002 were $7.5 million, or 11.3% of sales, compared to $6.3 million, or 10.5% of sales, for the first quarter of Fiscal 2001. This increase in EBITDA can be attributed to the improved sales volume coupled with the impact of lower operating costs in the current quarter.

Net loss was $1.0 million for Fiscal 2002 compared to a net loss of $2.4 million for Fiscal 2001. The decrease in the net loss from the first quarter of Fiscal 2001 resulted from improved operating income and reduced interest expense partially offset by an increase in tax expense as a result of a U.S. tax gain on the sale of the Satcom Division to Canada.

CPI’s operating results differ slightly from Holding due to a sale-leaseback transaction between CPI and Holding which took place in December 2000. In the first quarter of Fiscal 2002, CPI’s net loss before taxes was $172,000, which was approximately $182,000 lower than Holdings’ net loss before taxes of $354,000. As a result of this transaction, operating costs for CPI were approximately $346,000 higher than those of Holding due to rental payments paid by CPI to Holding for use of the San Carlos facility offset by amortization of the deferred gain on the sales-leaseback and additional depreciation on the San Carlos facility. Interest expense, net, for CPI was approximately $528,000 lower than that of Holding. The decrease primarily relates to the fact that Holding’s interest expense figure includes interest paid on the mortgage financing of the San Carlos facility. All other operations data for CPI is consistent with Holding’s for the first quarter of Fiscal 2002.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Cash flows provided by operating activities for the first quarter of Fiscal 2002 were $9.8 million, an increase of $8.6 million from the $1.2 million provided by operating activities during the first quarter of Fiscal 2001. The positive cash flow was generated primarily from reductions in accounts receivable and inventories, offset by decreases in accounts payable and advance payments from customers.

Investing activities were comprised principally of investment in property, plant and equipment totaling

$664,000 for the first quarter of Fiscal 2002. Purchases of property, plant and equipment were down slightly from approximately $896,000 in the first quarter of Fiscal 2001. The Company currently anticipates that capital expenditure requirements for Fiscal 2002 will be approximately $4.5 million, similar to the amounts spent in Fiscal 2001 and 2000 for normal operations.

Financing activities during the first quarter of Fiscal 2002 were related to repayments on the Company’s secured credit facility (“Credit Facility”) of $8.3 million and repayments on capital leases of $257,000.

During Fiscal 2001, the Company relocated its administrative offices into a single building in Palo Alto and as a result, is actively looking to sublease up to 52,300 square feet of office space. Also during Fiscal 2001, the Company relocated its Satcom Division’s production operation from Palo Alto, California to its facility in Ontario, Canada. The relocation is substantially complete, however additional expenses of $300,000 to $500,000 are expected to be incurred during the remainder of Fiscal 2002.

The Company’s short-term debt includes mortgage financing of $18.0 million and senior term loans of $20.0 million that expire on June 1, 2002 and December 22, 2002, respectively. Management expects that cash to be generated by operations and borrowing under its Credit Facility in conjunction with either extending or finding alternative financing will allow it to meet the obligations.

There can be no assurance that the combination of cash generated by operations, borrowing availability from the Company’s Credit Facility and additional collateral-based financing will be sufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements. If the Company is unable to satisfy such cash requirements from these sources, the Company will adopt one or more alternatives, such as reducing or delaying capital expenditures, reducing discretionary costs, negotiating an increase to the Company’s borrowing capacity under its line of credit, and selling and leasing back its facility in San Carlos, California in a transaction with an outside party.

Market Risk

The Company’s market risk disclosures set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2001, have not changed significantly.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 142 addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. SFAS No. 142 changes the accounting for goodwill from an amortization method to an impairment-only approach. Goodwill will be tested annually and whenever events or circumstances occur indicating that goodwill might be impaired. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, amortization of goodwill recorded for business combinations will cease. Companies are required to adopt SFAS No. 142 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, but early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to adopt this Statement beginning in the first quarter of Fiscal 2003 and therefore has not yet determined the impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”, in August 2001, and SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets”, in October 2001. SFAS No. 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002 and will require that the fair value of an asset retirement obligation be recorded as a liability in the period in which it incurs the obligation. SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. It provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of and replaces SFAS No. 121 “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of.” The Company does not expect the adoption of these statements to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
