PARK AEROSPACE CORP. REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

 

Newton, Kansas, Tuesday, July 16, 2024…..Park Aerospace Corp. (NYSE-PKE) reported results for the 2025 fiscal year first quarter ended June 2 2024. The Company will conduct a conference call to discuss its financial results and other matters at 5:00 p.m. EDT today. A live audio webcast of the event, along with presentation materials, will be available at https://edge.media-server.com/mmc/p/f7gkgg8i at 5:00 p.m. EDT today. The presentation materials will also be available at approximately 4:15 p.m. EDT today at https://parkaerospace.com/shareholders/investor-conference-calls/ and on the Company’s website at www.parkaerospace.com under “Investor Conference Calls” on the “Shareholders” page.

 

Park reported net sales of $13,970,000 for the 2025 fiscal year first quarter ended June 2 2024 compared to $15,551,000 for the 2024 fiscal year first quarter ended May 28, 2023 and $16,333,000 for the 2024 fiscal year fourth quarter ended March 3, 2024. Net earnings for the 2025 fiscal year first quarter were $993,000 compared to $1,854,000 for the 2024 fiscal year first quarter and $2,670,000 for the 2024 fiscal year fourth quarter.

 

Net earnings before special items for the 2025 fiscal year first quarter were $1,781,000 compared to $2,407,000 for the 2024 fiscal year first quarter and $2,308,000 for the 2024 fiscal year fourth quarter.

 

Adjusted EBITDA for the 2025 fiscal year first quarter was $2,610,000 compared to $3,311,000 for the 2024 fiscal year first quarter and $3,201,000 for the 2024 fiscal year fourth quarter.

 

During the 2025 fiscal year, the Company recorded a $1,052,000 pre-tax charge related to storm damage to the Company’s facilities in Newton Kansas. During the 2024 fiscal year first quarter, the Company recorded $570,000 of pre-tax activist shareholder defense costs, $65,000 of pre-tax losses on sales of investments to fund the $1.00 per share special cash dividend paid on April 6, 2023 to shareholders of record on March 9, 2023 and a $109,000 pre-tax charge for the modification of previously granted stock options in connection with the special cash dividend in the 2024 fiscal year first quarter. During the 2024 fiscal year fourth quarter, the Company recorded $70,000 of pre-tax costs to settle an insurance claim as the result of the bankruptcy of an insurer and $38,000 of pre-tax recruiting fees. The Company recognized a tax benefit of $657,000 in the 2024 fiscal year fourth quarter primarily from the reductions of uncertain tax positions related to expiring statutes of limitations on tax positions taken in prior years regarding the taxability of funds repatriated from the Company’s subsidiary in Singapore, and the Company recorded $224,000 of additional tax expense for tax deductions becoming unavailable related to stock options expiring unexercised in the 2024 fiscal year fourth quarter.

 

Park reported basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.05 for the 2025 fiscal year first quarter compared to $0.09 for the 2024 fiscal year first quarter and $0.13 for the 2024 fiscal year fourth quarter. Basic and diluted earnings per share before special items were $0.09 for the 2025 fiscal year first quarter compared to $0.12 for the 2024 fiscal year first quarter and $0.11 for the 2024 fiscal year fourth quarter.

Park believes that an evaluation of its ongoing operations would be difficult if the disclosure of its operating results were limited to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) financial measures, which include special items, such as a charge related to storm damage, activist shareholder defense costs, losses on sales of investments, charges for modification of previously granted stock options, reductions in uncertain tax positions, tax deductions becoming unavailable, costs to settle an insurance claim and recruiting fees. Accordingly, in addition to disclosing its operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, Park discloses non-GAAP measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, and operating results that exclude special items in order to assist its shareholders and other readers in assessing the Company’s operating performance, since the Company’s on-going, normal business operations do not include such special items. The detailed operating information presented below includes a reconciliation of the non-GAAP operating results before special items to earnings determined in accordance with GAAP and a reconciliation of GAAP pre-tax earnings to Adjusted EBITDA. Such non-GAAP financial measures are provided to supplement the results provided in accordance with GAAP.
