Aeroflex Announces Fiscal Third Quarter Results
PLAINVIEW, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aeroflex Holding Corp. ("Aeroflex") (NYSE: ARX), a leading global provider of microelectronic components and test and measurement equipment, today announced its financial results for the fiscal third quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2011.
“I am very pleased with our record third quarter results”
Net sales increased 14.7% from the third quarter of fiscal 2010 to a new third quarter record of $193.2 million. Both segments contributed to the growth this quarter, as did sales from acquired businesses, which accounted for approximately 5% of revenue. Non-GAAP operating income increased 15.1% from the third quarter of fiscal 2010 to $46.0 million, also a new third quarter record. Adjusted EBITDA also reached a new third quarter record of $50.7 million which is a 13.6% increase from the third quarter of fiscal 2010.
“I am very pleased with our record third quarter results,” said Len Borow, Chief Executive Officer. “Our strong gross margins this quarter were derived from a favorable product mix, primarily related to Hi-Rel Radhard integrated circuits and wireless products, and demonstrate the value proposition of our products in the market. Our partnership with our customers and our ability to commercialize our intellectual property continues to drive our strong financial performance.”
The following tables present selected financial information for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and on a basis other than GAAP (“Non-GAAP”). The full fiscal year 2011 non-GAAP effective tax rate expected from Aeroflex’s current geographic mix of non-GAAP pre-tax income is 31%. This rate was applied to its non-GAAP pre-tax income for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. A reconciliation between GAAP and Non-GAAP amounts is presented at the end of this press release.

Business Outlook
For the fiscal fourth quarter ending June 30, 2011, Aeroflex expects net sales to be between $220 million and $228 million, Adjusted EBITDA to be between $64 million and $69 million, and non-GAAP net income per share to be between $.40 and $.44. The range of expected non-GAAP net income per share reflects interest expense savings from the debt refinancing completed on May 9, 2011 and was calculated using a non-GAAP effective tax rate of 31%.
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.
Webcast and Conference Call Information
Aeroflex will host a live webcast and conference call at 8:15 a.m. eastern standard time on Tuesday, May 10th during which management will discuss the financial results.
