MELVILLE, N.Y. –
June 6, 2018– Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (NASDAQ: CMTL) today
reported its operating results for the third fiscal quarter ended
April 30, 2018 and updated its fiscal 2018 guidance.
Fiscal 2018 Third Quarter Highlights
- Net sales were $147.9 million.
-
Bookings were $164.3 million, with a book-to-bill ratio (a measure
defined as bookings divided by net sales) of 1.11. -
Backlog increased from the level reported as of the second quarter of
fiscal 2018 and is a near record $583.7 million. This amount does not
include the portions of multi-year contracts that have not been
funded. As such, the total value of multi-year contracts that Comtech
has received is substantially higher. -
Comtech received a number of strategic contracts and orders,
including: (i) a $59.0 million contract to provide the U.S. Navy with
SLM-5650B satellite modems, upgrade kits and related services; (ii)
$16.9 million of orders to provide ongoing sustainment services for
the U.S. Army’s “SNAP” mobile satellite communications program; (iii)
$14.2 million of orders to supply the U.S. Army with advanced VSAT
equipment; (iv) a $10.1 million multi-year contract to provide one of
the largest wireless carriers in the U.S. with a hosted, advanced
location services platform; (v) $8.5 million in contracts to supply
Modular Transportable Transmission System troposcatter terminals to
two international customers; and (vi) a $3.7 million contract
modification from the Consortium Management Group to support the U.S.
Army Project Manager Mission Command and the Blue Force Tracking-2
(“BFT-2”) program to port additional waveforms onto the current BFT-2
transceivers.
-
GAAP operating income was $14.0 million and GAAP net income was $8.2
million, or $0.34 per diluted share. -
Adjusted EBITDA was $23.5 million. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP
financial measure which is reconciled to the most directly comparable
GAAP financial measure and is more fully defined in the below table. - Cash flows from operating activities were $21.4 million.
- Cash dividends of $2.4 million were paid to common stockholders.
- $44.2 million of cash and cash equivalents as of April 30, 2018.
In commenting on Comtech’s performance during the third quarter of
fiscal 2018 and Comtech’s updated fiscal 2018 guidance, Fred Kornberg,
President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our results for the
third quarter exceeded our expectations and our pipeline of
opportunities remains strong. Based on our strong year-to-date
performance and positive business momentum, we are increasing our fiscal
2018 operating income and Adjusted EBITDA targets, and expect fiscal
2018 to be a successful year. As we begin to look to fiscal 2019, we
believe that we are firmly positioned for growth.”
Updated 2018 Fiscal Year Financial Targets
-
Comtech is maintaining its revenue target of approximately $570.0
million to $585.0 million. Despite the absence of $6.7 million of
BFT-1 intellectual property license fees that Comtech earned in fiscal
2017 supporting the U.S. Army’s Blue Force Tracking Program, the
mid-point of Comtech’s fiscal 2018 revenue target range represents a
year-over-year growth rate of close to 5.0%. -
Comtech is increasing its Adjusted EBITDA target to a new range of
$73.5 million to $76.5 million, as compared to a prior range of $72.0
million to $76.0 million. Despite the absence of the $6.7 million of
BFT-1 intellectual property license fees, the mid-point of the new
fiscal 2018 Adjusted EBITDA target range represents an annual growth
rate of close to 6.0%. Adjusted EBITDA, as a percentage of net sales,
is expected to be close to 13.0%. -
From a timing perspective, Comtech’s fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 is
still expected to be the peak quarter for both net sales and Adjusted
EBITDA, but its third quarter of fiscal 2018 is now expected to be the
peak quarter of operating income. Comtech’s operating income for the
third quarter reflects the benefit of shipments of satellite earth
station equipment to the U.S. Navy that were previously expected to
occur in its fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. Comtech’s fourth quarter
net sales assumptions now reflect this and other changes in product
mix (including lower expected sales of higher margin cyber training
software solutions). -
Comtech’s fourth quarter net sales and Adjusted EBITDA are expected to
be higher than the related amounts achieved in its third quarter of
fiscal 2018 by approximately 15.0%. Comtech’s GAAP operating income
and Adjusted EBITDA, as a percentage of its consolidated fourth
quarter fiscal 2018 net sales, are expected to approximate 6.0% and
15.0%, respectively. -
Comtech’s new estimated effective tax rate of 27.0% for fiscal 2018
reflects seven months of benefit related to Tax Reform. Although
Comtech continues to perform an analysis of Tax Reform and its impact,
Comtech’s assessment is that its effective tax rate in fiscal 2019,
before any discrete items, will now range from 23.5% to 25.0%. During
the nine months ended April 30, 2018, Comtech recorded an estimated
net discrete tax benefit of $14.1 million, primarily due to the
remeasurement of deferred tax liabilities associated with
non-deductible amortization related to intangible assets that was
required as a result of Tax Reform. -
Comtech is updating its GAAP diluted EPS target to a new range of
$1.17 to $1.23, as compared to a prior range of $1.08 to $1.23. The
new target range includes the benefit of $0.59 per diluted share
primarily due to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and
liabilities as a result of Tax Reform. GAAP diluted EPS for Comtech’s
fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 is expected to approximate a range of
$0.24 to $0.30 per diluted share. -
If order flow remains strong and Comtech is able to achieve all of its
fiscal 2018 business goals, it is possible that Comtech’s fiscal 2018
consolidated net sales, GAAP diluted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA could be
higher than its targeted amounts.
Additional information about Comtech’s third quarter financial results
and Business Outlook for Fiscal 2018 is more thoroughly described in
Comtech’s Form 10-Q filed with the SEC today and Comtech’s third quarter
investor presentation which is located on its website at www.comtechtel.com.
