Aeroflex Announces Second Quarter Fiscal 2012 Results
PLAINVIEW, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aeroflex Holding Corp. ("Aeroflex") (NYSE: ARX), a leading global provider of high performance microelectronic components, and test and measurement equipment, today announced its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2012, which ended December 31, 2011.
“Despite our success this quarter, the economic uncertainties surrounding our wireless end markets, the European economy and uncertainty in defense spending has made visibility more challenging and our future outlook more cautious.”
Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 were $171.1 million, up approximately 10% sequentially from the first quarter of fiscal 2012. AMS net sales were $84.6 million and ATS net sales were $86.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. Operating income was $8.2 million and net income (loss) was $(535,000), or $(0.01) per share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2012.
Non-GAAP operating income was $27.8 million, Adjusted EBITDA was $32.4 million and Non-GAAP net income per share was $0.15 in the second quarter. For the second quarter, the book-to-bill ratio was approximately 1-to-1.
“I am pleased that we exceeded our expectations this quarter,” said Len Borow, Chief Executive Officer of Aeroflex. “Contributing to our success were shipments of several prototype PXI lines to wireless test customers in Asia which we believe are a prelude for future business. We continued to build upon our success in AMS with significant contract wins across our high reliability and high performance microelectronics business.” Mr. Borow added, “Our unique technology and strong product portfolio allows both our AMS and ATS businesses to remain at the forefront of their respective industries.”
The following tables present selected financial information for the three and six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and on a basis other than GAAP (“Non-GAAP”). The GAAP and Non-GAAP effective tax rates in fiscal 2012 were 31% and 35%, respectively. The GAAP and Non-GAAP effective tax rates in fiscal 2011 were 59% and 31%, respectively. The GAAP and the Non-GAAP tax rates are a result of Aeroflex’s geographic mix of pre-tax income. These rates were applied to the respective pre-tax income (loss) for the three and six month periods. A reconciliation between GAAP and Non-GAAP amounts is presented at the end of this press release.

Mr. Borow added, “Despite our success this quarter, the economic uncertainties surrounding our wireless end markets, the European economy and uncertainty in defense spending has made visibility more challenging and our future outlook more cautious.” For the fiscal third quarter ending March 31, 2012, Aeroflex expects net sales to be between $167 million and $177 million, GAAP net income (loss) to be between $(650,000) and $2 million, Adjusted EBITDA to be between $31 million and $35 million, GAAP net income (loss) per share to be between $(0.01) and $0.02, and Non-GAAP net income per share to be between $0.14 and $0.17.
For the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2012, Aeroflex expects net sales to be between $700 million and $720 million, GAAP net income to be between $12 million and $17 million, Adjusted EBITDA to be between $147 million and $155 million, GAAP net income per share to be between $0.14 and $0.20, and Non-GAAP net income per share to be between $0.73 and $0.79.

Non-GAAP Presentation
This press release contains Non-GAAP financial measures that are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from Non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these Non-GAAP measures: (i) are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles; and (ii) have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Aeroflex's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. As such, these measures should only be used to evaluate Aeroflex's results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.
Aeroflex believes that the presentation of Non-GAAP financial measures, when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides useful supplemental information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations because they exclude certain non-cash charges or items that management does not believe are reflective of its ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of its business.
Aeroflex believes that these Non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate the comparison by management and investors of results between periods and among its peer companies. However, its peer companies may calculate similar Non-GAAP financial measures differently than Aeroflex, limiting the information’s usefulness as comparative measures.

Aeroflex will host a live webcast and conference call at 8:15 a.m. eastern standard time on Thursday, February 9th during which management will discuss the financial results.
