TAT Technologies Reports First Quarter 2020 Results

GEDERA, Israel, May 27, 2020 - TAT Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: TATT - News) (“TAT” or the “Company”), a leading provider of products and services to the commercial and military aerospace and ground defense industries, reported today its unaudited results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020.

Financial highlights for the first quarter of 2020 (unaudited):
 
Revenues for Q1 2020 increased by 9% to $25.4 million, compared with $23.3 million in Q1 2019.

Gross profit for Q1 2020 increased by 36% to $4.5 million (17.8% of revenues), compared with $3.3 million (14% of revenues) in Q1 2019.

EBITDA for Q1 2020 increased by 69% to $2.2 million compared with $1.3 million in Q1 2019.

Net income for Q1 2020 increased to $0.45 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared with a net income of $0.1 million, or a net income of $0.01 per diluted share in Q1 2019.

Mr. Igal Zamir, TAT’s CEO and President commented on the results: “During the first quarter of 2020 we continued our growth and improvement trend that started in 2019. However, since mid-March we have been affected by the impact of the COVID 19 pandemic on the global aerospace industry, especially the commercial sector. As a result, we are now facing decline in both our MRO and OEM activity. TAT has taken the necessary measures to adjust its operating expenses to the decline in demand. However, we currently have low visibility on the duration and pace of recovery. We believe that the combination of a strong balance sheet and cash position, our military and cargo customers and the measures that have been taken to reduce expenses, will help us to successfully endure this challenging period”.

COVID-19 Update
In March 2020, the novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19") was recognized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization, and the outbreak became increasingly widespread in Israel, the United States and in other countries in which we operate.

TAT is following all guidelines and directives from governmental and regulatory agencies across its global operations in order to continue operating safely and responsibly, while meeting the needs of customers. In efforts to maintain a safe work environment and help contain the spread of COVID-19, the Company has transitioned to a work-from-home policy for those that are able and has suspended all non-essential employee travel and events. The Company will continue to monitor the development of and responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of COVID-19 on its business and respond accordingly. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Company continues to evolve subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and as of the date these unaudited financial statements are issued. As such, the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity and future results of operations is uncertain. As the pandemic continues to impact operations of businesses across the world, our ability to meet customer demands for products may be impaired or, similarly, our customers (including airlines and maintenance shops)  have experienced and may continue to experience adverse business consequences. Given the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic and the varied global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not presently able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its future results of operations, financial condition or liquidity for fiscal year 2020.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company also presents Adjusted EBITDA.  The adjustments to the Company’s GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of the Company’s underlying operational results, trends and performance. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income excluding the impact of: the Company's share in results of affiliated companies, share-based compensation, taxes on income, financial (expenses) income, net, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA, however, should not be considered as alternative to net income and operating income for the period and may not be indicative of the historic operating results of the Company; nor it is meant to be predictive of potential future results. Adjusted EBITDA is not measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies. See reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA in pages 11 below.
