Sparton Corporation (NYSE:SPA) today announced results for the
first quarter of fiscal year 2019 ended September 30,
2018.
Fourth Quarter Financial Results and Highlights
Joseph J. Hartnett, Interim President & CEO, commented, "We
are pleased to report that we have started the fiscal year off with
a strong operating performance, supported by organic growth in our
MDS segment, a healthy backlog in both MDS and ECP segments and
improved consolidated gross margins when compared to the same
quarter last year."
Joseph G. McCormack, Senior Vice President & CFO, commented,
“During the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, we adopted the new
revenue recognition standard, ASC 606. As a result of the
application of the new rules, our net sales were $1.5 million less
and our net income was $0.9 million less than what would have been
recorded under the old rules. ASC 606 also impacts the
classification of certain balance sheet accounts which have reduced
our accounts receivables by $7.8 million and increased our
inventories by $9.8 million from what would have been reported
under the old rules.”

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2018, Sparton Corporation ("the
Company") had $43 million available under its $120 million credit
facility that expires in September 2019. We intend to restructure
this facility upon its expiration in September 2019, or sooner as
conditions dictate, to provide for appropriate ongoing liquidity.
As of September 30, 2018, we were compliant with all covenants
under our credit facility.
Potential Sale Transaction
On March 5, 2018, the Company announced the termination by the
Company and Ultra Electronics Holdings plc (“Ultra”) of their July
7, 2017 merger agreement as a result of the staff of the United
States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) informing the parties that
it intended to recommend that the DOJ block the merger. At that
time, the Company announced that it will seek to re-engage with
parties that previously expressed an interest in acquiring all or a
part of the Company and that are in a position to expeditiously
proceed to effect such a transaction. There can be no assurance
that any such process will result in the execution of a definitive
agreement or the completion of a transaction.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), Sparton
Corporation has provided certain non-GAAP financial measures as
additional information for its operating results. These measures
have not been prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different
from measures used by other companies. Whenever we use non-GAAP
financial measures, we designate these measures, which exclude the
effects of certain expenses and income, as “adjusted” and provide a
reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most closely
applicable GAAP financial measure. The non-GAAP financial measures
eliminate or add certain items of expense and income from or to
operating expense and income taxes. Management believes that this
presentation is helpful to investors in evaluating the current
operational and financial performance of our business and
facilitates comparisons to historical results of operations.
Management discloses this information along with a reconciliation
of the comparable GAAP amounts to provide access to the detail and
nature of adjustments made to GAAP financial results. While some of
these excluded items have been periodically reported in our
statements of operations, their occurrence in future periods
depends on future business and economic factors, among other
evaluation criteria, and the occurrence of such events and factors
may frequently be beyond the control of management.
When we calculate adjusted earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA
and other adjustments to the statements of income, we exclude
certain expenses and income because we believe that they are not
related directly to the underlying performance of our fundamental
business operations. We exclude these measures when reviewing
financial results and for business planning. Although these events
are reflected in our GAAP financial statements, these transactions
may limit the comparability of our fundamental operations with
prior and future periods. We believe EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are
commonly used by financial analysts and others in the industries in
which the Company operates and, thus, provides useful information
to investors. The Company does not intend, nor should the reader
consider, EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA to be an alternative to
operating income, net income, net cash provided by operating
activities or any other items calculated in accordance with GAAP.
The Company's definition of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable
with other companies. Accordingly, the measurement has limitations
depending on its use.
