Neal J. Keating, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are very pleased with our second quarter results, which reflect continuing sales growth and improved profitability, in each of our businesses. In Industrial Distribution, we again achieved record sales and as a result of the higher volume and our focus on profitability improvement delivered higher margin performance. In Aerospace, we saw strong top line performance across programs and generated solid profitability. Our backlog continues to be healthy ending the quarter at $536 million, up 16% from $461 million a year ago. Our strong second quarter performance gives us continued confidence in our outlook for the full year as well as in our long-term competitive and strategic position."

Segment reports follow:

Industrial Distribution segment sales increased 13.5% in the 2011 second quarter to $239.3 million compared to $210.9 million a year ago. Acquisitions contributed $10.3 million in sales in the quarter (sales from acquisitions are classified as organic beginning with the thirteenth month following the acquisition). On a sales per sales day* basis, organic sales were up 8.6% over last year's second quarter (see Table 2 for additional details regarding the Company's sales per sales day performance). Segment operating income for the second quarter of 2011 was $12.3 million, a 58.9% increase from operating income of $7.7 million in the second quarter of 2010. The operating profit margin for the second quarter of 2011 was 5.1% and was the ninth consecutive quarter of sequential operating profit improvement. In comparison, the operating profit margin was 4.9% in the first quarter of 2011 and 3.7% in the second quarter of 2010.

Industrial Distribution segment sales for the second quarter of 2011 reflect strong markets conditions and growth from acquisitions made in 2010. Market strength was broad based across most geographies, customers and end markets . The operating margin was higher on both a year-over-year and sequential basis as a result of the higher sales volume, improved gross margin, contributions from acquisitions, and benefits from our productivity improvements including an organizational realignment and IT investments.

Aerospace segment sales were $145.8 million, an increase of 37.3% from sales of $106.2 million in the second quarter of 2010. Operating income for the second quarter of 2011 was $21.9 million, compared to operating income of $12.1 million in the 2010 second quarter. The operating margin in this year's second quarter was 15.0% as compared to 11.4% in the comparable period in the prior year. Global Aerosystems, acquired late last year, contributed $7.7 million in sales during the second quarter of 2011. Organic sales in the quarter were up 30.0% over the prior year period. In addition to the contribution from the acquisition, Aerospace sales and profits were higher over the prior year due to increased shipments under the Company's Joint Programmable Fuze program, higher revenue under the Company's unmanned K-MAX® program, and increased sales from bearing product lines.

Outlook

The Company's updated expectations for 2011 are as follows:

  • Aerospace segment sales of $550 million to $565 million
  • Aerospace operating margins of 15.2% to 15.5%
  • Industrial Distribution sales of $930 million to $960 million
  • Industrial Distribution segment operating margins of 4.7% to 4.9%
  • Interest expense of approximately $12.5 million
  • Corporate expenses of approximately $43.0 million to $44.0 million for the year

Aerospace expectations exclude the sale of SH-2G(I) aircraft. The outlook for corporate expenses excludes the non-recurring benefit of $2.4 million recognized in the first quarter of 2011 resulting from the death of a former executive.

Chief Financial Officer, William C. Denninger, commented, "As we look ahead, our solid first half performance provides us with confidence in our ability to achieve our previously stated full year outlook ranges for sales in both of our businesses. Our Industrial Distribution business is performing well, despite a tough competitive environment and rising costs. Based on this performance we have increased our outlook for profitability in the segment. Our revised expectations for operating margin as a percentage of sales are 4.7% to 4.9%. This is up significantly over the 3.6% and 2.0% we achieved for the full years 2010 and 2009, respectively. Similarly, our Aerospace business is delivering good results. We have experienced some shifting of revenues within the year, such as unmanned K-MAX, resulting in a stronger first half than expected, and while we have encountered some program pushouts, such as A-10, other programs have demonstrated stronger than expected demand, such as BLACK HAWK. All factors considered we are maintaining our full year sales and profit outlook for Aerospace. In addition to our expectations for the full year, we have made good progress against our strategic plan and believe that we are well positioned to drive long-term growth and value to our shareholders."

A conference call has been scheduled for tomorrow, August 5, 2011 at 8:30 AM EDT. Listeners may access the call live over the Internet through a link on the home page of the Company's website at http://www.kaman.com. In its discussion, management may include certain non-GAAP measures related to company performance. If so, a reconciliation of that information to GAAP, if not provided in this release, will be provided in the exhibits to the conference call and will be available through the Internet link provided above.

Non-GAAP Measure Disclosure

Management believes that the non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measures indicated by an asterisk (*) used in this release or in other disclosures provide investors with important perspectives into the Company's ongoing business performance. The Company does not intend for the information to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures. Other companies may define the measures differently. We define the non-GAAP measures used in this report and other disclosures, as follows:

Organic Sales per Sales Day - Organic sales per sales day is defined as GAAP “Net sales from the Industrial Distribution segment” less sales derived from acquisitions, divided by the number of sales days in a given period. Sales days are essentially business days that the Company's branch locations are open for business and exclude weekends and holidays. Sales days are provided as part of this release. Management believes sales per sales day provides investors with an important perspective on how net sales may be impacted by the number of days the segment is open for business.

Management uses sales per sales day as a measurement to compare periods in which the number of sales days differ. The following table illustrates the calculation of sales per sales day using “Net sales: Industrial Distribution” from the “Segment Information” footnote in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” from the Company's Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 4, 2011. Sales from acquisitions are classified as organic beginning with the thirteenth month following the acquisition.

Organic sales $ 228,976   $ 210,924
Sales days 64 64
Organic sales per sales day $ 3,578 $ 3,296
 

Free Cash Flow - Free cash flow is defined as GAAP “Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities” less “Expenditures for property, plant & equipment.” Management believes free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available for dividends to shareholders, debt repayment, and acquisitions after making capital investments required to support ongoing business operations and long-term value creation. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures as it excludes certain mandatory expenditures such as repayment of maturing debt.

Management uses free cash flow internally to assess both business performance and overall liquidity. The following table illustrates the calculation of free cash flow using “Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities” and “Expenditures for property, plant & equipment”, GAAP measures from the cash flow statement included in this release.

Expenditures for property, plant & equipment $ (12,530 ) $ (7,218 ) $ (5,312 )
Free Cash Flow $ (6,384 ) $ (21,179 ) $ 14,795  
 

Debt to Capitalization Ratio - Debt to capitalization ratio is calculated by dividing debt by capitalization. Debt is defined as GAAP “Notes payable” plus “Current portion of long-term debt” plus “Long-term debt, excluding current portion.” Capitalization is defined as Debt plus GAAP “Total shareholders' equity.” Management believes that debt to capitalization is a measurement of financial leverage and provides investors with an insight into the financial structure of the Company and its financial strength. The following table illustrates the calculation of debt to capitalization using GAAP measures from the balance sheets included in this release.
