Dépèche transmise le 7 novembre 2011 par Business Wire

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ducommun Incorporated (NYSE:DCO) today reported results for its third quarter and nine months ended October 1, 2011.

“We couldn’t be happier with the LaBarge acquisition and how it has bolstered our technology profile, market position, and growth outlook”

Recent Highlights

Net sales increased 86% for the third quarter of 2011 versus the third quarter of 2010, reflecting increased sales of $83.8 million from the LaBarge, Inc. (“LaBarge”) acquisition
Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2011 were $0.09 and, excluding merger-related expenses, were $0.34
Firm backlog at the end of the third quarter 2011 was approximately $611.7 million

“We are pleased to report our first full quarter of financial results that include LaBarge under the Ducommun umbrella,” said Anthony J. Reardon, president and chief executive officer. “The integration of our operations remains on track, with the combined Ducommun LaBarge Technologies benefiting from strong demand across a diverse set of end markets. In addition, Ducommun AeroStructures saw revenue grow in the third quarter by 11% year-over-year, reflecting increases in both commercial and military sales. We expect further expansion in the quarters to come along with margin improvement driven by higher operating leverage and the impact of synergies from our acquisition.”

Sales for the third quarter of 2011 increased 86% to $185.1 million, compared to $99.4 million for the third quarter of 2010, reflecting revenue of $83.8 million from the LaBarge acquisition and 2% organic growth, primarily from increased sales of products for commercial aircraft. Net income for the third quarter was $1.0 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to net income of $5.8 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, for the comparable period last year. Excluding pre-tax acquisition-related expenses (including cost of sales relating to the write-up of LaBarge inventory) of $3.9 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, net income was $3.7 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2011. During the quarter, the Company generated $3.7 million of cash flow from operations, excluding $9.7 million of acquisition-related costs.

SG&A expenses in the third quarter of 2011 increased by $10.9 million from the comparable period last year. This increase resulted from SG&A expenses of $11.3 million from the newly acquired LaBarge organization, including approximately $2.7 million of acquisition-related expenses and $1.9 million of amortization of intangibles.

Ducommun AeroStructures (DAS)

The DAS segment reported net sales for the third quarter of 2011 of $75.1 million, compared to $67.6 million in 2010, representing an increase of 11%. The higher sales were primarily the result of increased shipments of commercial aerospace and military products. Operating income for the third quarter of 2011 was $6.5 million, or 8.7% of revenue, compared to $6.7 million, or 9.9% of revenue, for the prior-year period. Operating income was negatively impacted in 2011 by a higher proportion of sales of lower margin products.

Ducommun LaBarge Technologies (DLT)

The DLT segment reported net sales for the third quarter of 2011 of $110.0 million, compared to $31.8 million in 2010. The primary reason for the substantial increase was $83.8 million in sales from the LaBarge acquisition. Operating income for the third quarter of 2011 was $7.3 million, or 6.6% of revenue, compared to $3.1 million, or 9.8% of revenue, for the prior-year period. Excluding pre-tax acquisition-related expenses (including cost of sales relating to the write-up of LaBarge inventory) of $3.6 million, DLT operating income was $10.9 million, or 9.9% of sales.

Corporate General and Administrative Expenses (CG&A)

CG&A expenses represent the portion of SG&A expenses that are not identifiable or allocated to the DAS and DLT segments. CG&A expenses for the third quarter of 2011 were $4.1 million, as compared to $3.6 million in the third quarter of 2010. Excluding acquisition-related expenses of $0.3 million, CG&A expenses were $3.8 million, or 2.1% of sales in the third quarter of 2011, compared to 3.6% of sales in the prior-year period.

Year-to-Date Results

Sales for the first nine months of 2011 increased 28% to $392.7 million, compared to $306.6 million for the first nine months of 2010, reflecting revenue of $84.7 million from the LaBarge acquisition as well as an increase in sales of products for commercial aircraft. Net income for the first nine months of 2011 was $0.9 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to net income of $15.6 million, or $1.48 per diluted share, for the comparable period last year. Excluding pre-tax acquisition-related expenses (including cost of sales relating to the write-up of LaBarge inventory) of $15.3 million, or $1.05 per diluted share, net income was $12.1 million, or $1.13 per diluted share in the first nine months of 2011. During the first nine months of 2011, the Company used $10.8 million of cash flow from operations, excluding $18.1 million of acquisition-related costs.

SG&A expenses in the first nine months of 2011 rose by $22.8 million from the comparable period last year. This increase resulted from SG&A expenses of $11.8 million from the newly acquired LaBarge organization, along with $11.8 million of acquisition-related expenses at Corporate, partially offset by $0.8 million reduction in other expenses.

Ducommun AeroStructures (DAS)

The DAS segment reported net sales for the first nine months of 2011 of $223.9 million, compared to $206.0 million in 2010, an increase of 9%. The higher sales were primarily the result of increased shipments of commercial aerospace and military products. Operating income for the first nine months of 2011 was $22.4 million, or 10.0% of sales, compared to $23.3 million, or 11.3% of sales, in the prior-year period. Operating income was negatively impacted in 2011 by a higher proportion of sales of lower margin products.

Ducommun LaBarge Technologies (DLT)

The DLT segment reported net sales for the first nine months of 2011 of $168.8 million, compared to $100.7 million in 2010. The primary reason for the increase was $84.7 million in sales from the LaBarge acquisition. Operating income for the first nine months of 2011 was $12.1 million, or 7.2% of sales, compared to $8.9 million, or 8.9% of sales, in the prior-year period. Excluding pre-tax acquisition-related expenses (including cost of sales relating to the write-up of LaBarge inventory) of $3.6 million year-to-date, DLT operating income was $15.7 million, or 9.3% of sales.

Corporate General and Administrative Expenses (CG&A)

CG&A expenses for the first nine months of 2011 were $23.2 million compared to $10.1 million in the prior-year period. Excluding acquisition-related expenses of $11.8 million, CG&A expenses in the first nine months of 2011 were $11.4 million, or 2.9% of sales, compared to 3.3% of sales in 2010.

“We couldn’t be happier with the LaBarge acquisition and how it has bolstered our technology profile, market position, and growth outlook,” Mr. Reardon continued. “Given our solid position on key platforms and programs, and in light of our positive outlook on the commercial aerospace market, Ducommun is on sound footing to post stronger operating performance going forward. We are now able to offer more sophisticated electronic and structural assemblies to our customers – providing access to a pipeline of new, attractive opportunities. With our diversified military business and commercial markets expanding, we remain focused on increasing margins and driving cash flow to pay down debt. Ducommun is clearly aligned with its shareholders in looking to enhance financial results in 2012 and beyond.”
