Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

The information contained in this item and in the accompanying exhibit shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Registrant, whether made before or after the date hereof. The information in this item, including the exhibit hereto, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section or Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

TransDigm Group will host a conference call for investors and security analysts on February 10, 2010, beginning at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time.

Item 4.02(a). Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

In connection with the preparation of its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended January 2, 2010, the Company determined that its basic and diluted earnings per share calculations should have been prepared using the “two-class method.” Historically, the Company had been utilizing the “treasury stock method” in order to give effect to outstanding “in-the-money” stock options. Under the two-class method, securities that participate in dividends, such as the Company’s outstanding stock options, are considered “participating securities.” Our vested stock options are considered “participating securities” because they include non-forfeitable rights to dividends. In applying the two-class method, (i) basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (less any dividends paid on participating securities) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and participating securities outstanding for the period and (ii) diluted earnings per share may include the additional effect of other securities, if dilutive, in which case the dilutive effect of such securities is calculated using the treasury stock method. Because the Company does not have other securities with a dilutive effect outstanding, the Company’s basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share are the same under the two-class method.

As a result, the Company is restating its statements of income, and related earnings per share footnotes, for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007 (the “Annual Income Statements”) on Form 10-K/A and for the first three fiscal quarters of the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 (the “Quarterly Income Statements”) on Forms 10-Q/A.

(1) The earnings per share restatement did not impact net income reported by the Company.

The restatements do not affect any items in the Company’s consolidated statements of income, other than basic and diluted earnings per share and the weighted average shares outstanding.

Further, the restatements do not affect any other financial measures used by the Company to present its financial results, including net income, adjusted net income, EBITDA or EBITDA As Defined.

On February 5, 2010 the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors concluded, based on the recommendation of management, that the Annual Income Statements, including the related auditor’s report thereon, and Quarterly Income Statements should no longer be relied upon, because of the incorrect calculation of earnings per share and share count information. The Company’s management and the Audit Committee discussed the matters relating to the restatements with Ernst & Young LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accountants.

TransDigm Group Reports Fiscal 2010 First Quarter

Results and Restatement of EPS

Cleveland, Ohio, February 10, 2009/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — TransDigm Group Incorporated (NYSE: TDG), a leading global designer, producer and supplier of highly engineered aircraft components, today reported results for the fiscal first quarter ended January 2, 2010 and the restatement of historical earnings per share and weighted average shares.

Highlights for the first quarter include:

 

   

Net sales of $184.3 million, up 1.7% from $181.3 million

 

   

EBITDA As Defined of $90.4 million, down 1.3% from $91.5 million

 

   

Net income of $30.8 million, down 22.3% from $39.6 million primarily reflecting increased interest expense from new debt

 

   

Fiscal 2010 revenues, net income, EBITDA as Defined, and adjusted earnings per share guidance increased to reflect the recent acquisition, modest operating improvements and to adjust for the dividend equivalent payments to option holders previously recognized as expense in our initial fiscal 2010 guidance

 

   

Historical financial statements restated reflecting changes only in basic and diluted earnings per share and the weighted shares outstanding

 

   

Earnings per share of $0.01, down 98.7% from $0.75 (restated) primarily reflecting the treatment of dividend equivalent payments to option holders during the quarter and the interest expense mentioned above

 

   

Adjusted earnings per share of $0.67, down 14.0% from $0.78 (restated) under the “two-class method” of calculating earnings per share

 

   

Adjusted earnings per share of $0.70, down 14.6% from $0.82 under the historically presented treasury stock method of calculating earnings per share

Net sales for the quarter rose 1.7% to $184.3 million from $181.3 million in the comparable quarter a year ago. The favorable contribution from acquisitions of 9.0% more than offset the 7.3% decline in organic net sales. The decrease in organic sales was primarily due to lower commercial OEM and aftermarket demand partially offset by higher defense sales.

 

1


Net income for the quarter decreased 22.3% to $30.8 million, compared with $39.6 million, in the comparable quarter a year ago. The decrease in net income was primarily due to an increase in interest expense of $5.9 million, net of tax, associated with the $425 million note offering issued on October 6, 2009, an incremental increase in acquisition-related expenses of $1.8 million, net of tax, and transaction-related costs relating to the adoption of new accounting rules for business combinations of $0.9 million, net of tax.

Earnings per share (basic and diluted) of $0.01 per share decreased from earnings per share of $0.75 per share (basic and diluted, restated) in the prior year, primarily due to the requirement under the “two-class method” of calculating earnings per share (see Restatement below), that reduces net income (for the purpose of the EPS calculation only) by the amount of the dividend equivalent payments made to the holders of vested stock options ($30.3 million, or $0.57 per share). Expenses relating to the $425 million note offering and acquisition-related expenses discussed above reduced earnings per share by $0.17 per share. Please see the attached tables for the calculation of Reported Earnings Per Share and Adjusted Earnings Per Share.

Our initial fiscal 2010 guidance for net income included a charge to the income statement of $0.44 per share, representing dividend equivalent payments to stock option holders of $30.3 million, before tax ($19.5 million, after tax), along with approximately $4.5 million, before tax ($2.9 million, after tax), for the dividend equivalent payment to holders of options expected to vest in fiscal 2010. Although these payments are compensatory in nature, GAAP requires the payments to be charged directly to retained earnings, similar to a normal dividend. This change in accounting treatment had no impact on EBITDA As Defined, adjusted earnings per share or cash flow projections and is reflected in the fiscal 2010 guidance below. For clarification, the dividend equivalent payment will be included as compensation in our 2011 proxy statement, our tax reporting and employee compensation reporting.

Adjusted net income for the quarter decreased 13.9% to $35.5 million, or $0.67 per share, from $41.3 million, or $0.78 per share (restated), in the comparable quarter a year ago. This decrease is primarily driven by $0.11 per share of increased interest expense associated with the new notes issued on October 6, 2009. Adjusted net income for the current quarter excludes $4.8 million, net of tax, or $0.09 per share, of non-cash compensation costs, acquisition-related expenses, and transaction-related costs. In addition, Adjusted earnings per share for the quarter excludes $0.57 per share relating to the dividend equivalent payment. Adjusted earnings per share would be $0.03 per share higher if the treasury stock method had been used. Adjusted net income for the prior-year quarter excluded $1.7 million, net of tax, or $0.03 per share, of non-cash compensation costs and acquisition-related expenses. Earnings per share would be $0.04 per share higher in the prior year if the treasury stock method had been used.

EBITDA for the quarter decreased 6.2% to $84.1 million from $89.6 million for the comparable quarter a year ago. EBITDA As Defined for the quarter decreased slightly to $90.4 million compared with $91.5 million in the quarter a year ago. EBITDA As Defined as a percentage of net sales for the quarter was 49.0%.

During the quarter the Company successfully completed an offering of $425 million of 7-3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due in 2014 and paid a special dividend of $7.65 per share. Additionally, during the quarter, the Company acquired the assets of proprietary aerospace valve manufacturers Dukes, Inc., and GST Industries, Inc. on December 2, 2009.

“We are pleased with our operating results for the quarter,” stated W. Nicholas Howley, TransDigm Group’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our full year guidance anticipated first quarter operating results to be below the prior year. Actual revenues and EBITDA As Defined results were in fact just about even with the prior year. Organically, higher defense and commercial transport OEM sales offset lower commercial aftermarket and OEM business jet revenues. Our consistent focus on our value-based operating strategy led to a 49.0% EBITDA As Defined margin, in spite of the dilutive impact of recent acquisitions versus the prior year. Though not reflected in our revenues and too soon to tell with certainty, we believe we are starting to see indications of commercial aftermarket improvement.”

Please see the attached tables for a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA, EBITDA As Defined, and adjusted net income, a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to EBITDA and EBITDA As Defined, and a reconciliation of earnings per share to adjusted earnings per share for the periods discussed in this press release.

Fiscal 2010 Outlook

Commenting on the revisions in guidance, Mr. Howley concluded, “We are increasing our annual guidance to reflect the acquisition of the Dukes aerospace business, our current market outlook, and the change in classification of the Company’s dividend equivalent payments. We remain cautious about the pace of recovery in both the worldwide economy and the aerospace markets.”

The Company is raising full year fiscal 2010 guidance, which assumes no additional acquisitions, as follows:

 

 

Revenues are anticipated in the range of $800 million to $831 million (previously in the range of $770 million to $800 million) compared with $762 million in fiscal 2009;

 

 

EBITDA As Defined is anticipated in the range of $390 million to $405 million (previously in the range of $376 million to $390 million) compared with $375 million in fiscal 2009;

 

 

Net income is anticipated in the range of $143 million to $153 million (previously in the range of $116 million to $126 million) compared with $163 million in fiscal 2009;

 

 

Earnings per share under the “two-class method” are expected to be in the range of $2.12 to $2.32 per share on weighted average shares outstanding of 53.0 million (under the “two-class method” our previous guidance would have been in the range of $2.07 to $2.26 per share) compared with $3.10 (restated) in fiscal 2009;

 

 

Adjusted earnings per share under the “two-class method” are expected to be in the range of $2.95 to $3.15 per share (under the “two-class method” our previous guidance would have been in the range of $2.82 to $3.01 per share) compared with $3.29 (restated) in fiscal 2009; and

 

 

For comparability purposes only, adjusted earnings per share under the treasury stock method are expected to be in the range of $3.05 to $3.25 per share on weighted average shares outstanding of 51.0 million (previously in the range of $2.90 to $3.10 per share) compared with $3.42 in fiscal 2009.

Restatement

In connection with the preparation and review of our financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended January 2, 2010, the Company determined that its basic and diluted earnings per share calculations should have been prepared using the “two-class method.” Historically the Company had been utilizing the “treasury stock method” in order to give effect to outstanding “in-the-money” stock options. In this more common method, in calculating diluted earnings per share, the assumed cash proceeds from option exercises are assumed to be used to repurchase shares at the market price and thus reduce the dilutive effect of stock options. Under the two-class method, securities that participate in dividends, such as the Company’s outstanding stock options, are considered “participating securities.” Our vested stock options are considered “participating securities” because they include non-forfeitable rights to dividends. In applying the two-class method, (i) basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (less any dividends paid on participating securities) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and participating securities outstanding for the period and (ii) diluted earnings per share may include the additional effect of other securities, if dilutive, in which case the dilutive effect of such securities is calculated using the treasury stock method. Because the Company does not have other securities with a dilutive effect outstanding, the Company’s basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share are the same under the two-class method. See the attached table for a comparison of the two-class method and treasury stock method for the thirteen week period ended January 2, 2010.

In summary, the change to prior year’s earnings per share is due to the fact that under the treasury stock method it is assumed that the cash proceeds from the exercises of vested options is used to repurchase common shares, thereby reducing the number of outstanding options used to calculate diluted earnings per share. Under the two-class method, 100% of vested stock options with dividend equivalent rights, without reduction, are treated as outstanding for purposes of basic and diluted earnings per share.

As a result of this change, the Company is filing today an amended annual report on Form 10-K/A that includes restated statements of income for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007 and amended quarterly reports on Forms 10-Q/A that include restated statements of income for the fiscal quarters ended December 27, 2008, March 28, 2009 and June 27, 2009.

The restatements do not affect any items in the Company’s consolidated statements of income other than basic and diluted earnings per share and the weighted average shares outstanding (see attached table). The restatements have no impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of changes in shareholder’s equity, or consolidated statements of cash flow as of any date or for any period. Further, the restatements do not affect any other financial measures used by the Company to present its financial results, including net income, adjusted net income, EBITDA or EBITDA As Defined.

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, acquisition-related costs, transaction-related costs and non-cash charges incurred in connection with certain employee benefit plans. TransDigm Group defines adjusted net income as net income plus purchase accounting backlog amortization expense, acquisition-related costs, transaction-related costs and non-cash charges incurred in connection with certain employee benefit plans. EBITDA As Defined Margin represents EBITDA As Defined as a percentage of net sales. For more information regarding the computation of EBITDA, EBITDA As Defined and adjusted net income, please see the attached financial tables.

TransDigm Group presents these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that they are a useful indicator 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 and management team in connection with employee incentive programs and the preparation of its annual budget and financial projections. Moreover, TransDigm Group’s management uses EBITDA As Defined to evaluate acquisitions and as a liquidity measure. In addition, TransDigm Group’s management and our investors use 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. TransDigm Group presents adjusted earnings per share using the two-class method, both to reflect adjusted net income on a per share basis and to adjust for the effect of the special dividend paid in the first quarter. In addition, TransDigm Group is presenting earnings per share using the treasury stock method for comparability to TransDigm’s prior guidance and to permit investors to compare our results to those of other companies that do not use the two-class method of calculating earnings per share.

 

5


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 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 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.
