CPI INTERNATIONAL ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2016 FINANCIAL RESULTS

PALO ALTO, Calif. - February 9, 2016 - CPI International Holding Corp., the parent company of CPI International, Inc. (CPI), today announced financial results for its fiscal year 2016 first quarter ended January 1, 2016.
Orders and Sales
In the first quarter of fiscal 2016, CPI booked orders totaling $120 million, a 17 percent increase from the $102 million that was booked in the same quarter of the previous year.
CPI generated sales totaling $111 million, unchanged from the same quarter of the previous year.
The most recent quarter contained approximately $20 million in orders and approximately $11 million in sales from the ASC Signal operations that were acquired in September 2015. The majority of the new CPI ASC Signal Division’s orders and sales were for communications applications; the remainder were for radar applications.
In comparison to the first quarter of fiscal 2015, CPI’s orders and sales increased in the communications market, but decreased in the defense and medical markets. With the inclusion of orders from CPI ASC Signal Division and strong demand for satellite communications products, communications orders represented the highest level booked in a single quarter in CPI’s history.
“Global economic and political uncertainty is leading to volatility in business conditions in every geographic region and has resulted in delays or reductions in new orders for many CPI products across multiple markets for both commercial and government end uses. Although we are confident that little, if any, business is actually being lost, we are seeing continued, unpredictable push-outs in order placement dates and, in some cases, reduced quantities are being ordered. CPI has significant experience in dealing with fluctuating demand cycles and in adjusting our business accordingly; nevertheless these delays and uncertainties have had, and are likely to continue to have, a negative impact on our near-term results,” said Joe Caldarelli, chief executive officer of CPI. “In positive news, the acquisition of ASC Signal Corporation, which we closed in mid-September, has made a meaningful contribution to CPI’s results in the first quarter. The integration of ASC Signal’s operations into CPI is progressing as expected.”
Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA
CPI’s net income and adjusted EBITDA results in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 were negatively impacted by a less profitable mix of products, partially offset by the favorable impact of changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar. Overall, the new CPI ASC Signal Division contributed favorably to CPI’s adjusted EBITDA results in the first quarter of fiscal 2016; excluding the impact of non-cash purchase accounting charges, the positive impact of the approximately $11 million in sales and the associated gross profit contributions generated by these operations more than offset the impact of the incremental operating expenses that resulted from the addition of a new manufacturing division to the company.
CPI’s net loss in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 was $1.2 million, as compared to net income of $3.0 million in the same quarter of the previous year. In addition to the factors mentioned above, this decrease was primarily due to items related to the acquisition of ASC Signal, including a $1.0 million increase in amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and a $0.9 million non-cash charge associated with the purchase accounting-related increase in inventory that resulted from the acquisition.
Adjusted EBITDA totaled $16.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016, decreasing from $21.3 million in the same quarter of the previous year.




Defense Market
In the first quarter of fiscal 2016, CPI’s defense market orders decreased five percent to $38.6 million. In general, CPI is experiencing widespread delays in the placement of orders for defense and other government-funded programs. The decrease in defense orders in the most recent quarter was primarily due to delayed orders for radar programs, particularly certain naval radar programs. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in orders for Aegis radar systems and the inclusion of orders from CPI ASC Signal Division.
Defense sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 decreased seven percent to $39.9 million. This decrease was primarily due to lower sales for a variety of radar programs and certain electronic countermeasure programs, and was partially offset by the inclusion of sales from CPI ASC Signal Division. Sales for Aegis radar systems were strong, but essentially unchanged from the same quarter of the previous year.
Communications Market
Orders in the communications market increased 68 percent to $64.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 as a result of higher orders for commercial and military communications applications. These increases were due to the inclusion of orders from CPI ASC Signal Division and significant strength in satellite communications orders to support commercial and military communications applications, and were partially offset by a delay in orders for radomes to support a shipboard military communications program.
Communications sales increased 13 percent to $45.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016. This increase was due to the inclusion of sales from CPI ASC Signal Division, as well as an increase in satellite communications sales for commercial and military communications applications. Lower sales of advanced tactical common data link (TCDL) antenna products for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) programs and radomes for a shipboard military communications program partially offset these increases.
Medical Market
In the first quarter of fiscal 2016, orders in the medical market decreased 35 percent to $10.9 million. A significant amount of CPI’s business within this market supports medical imaging applications for foreign customers, making this portion of CPI’s business more vulnerable to challenging global economic conditions, particularly in Europe and Asia. The decrease in medical orders was primarily due to lower orders of x-ray imaging products for foreign customers, largely resulting from challenging economic conditions and the absence of a large program in Asia that was not expected to repeat. Orders for other medical imaging applications also decreased. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in orders for radiation therapy applications.
Sales in the medical market decreased 15 percent to $16.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016. This decrease was due to lower sales of x-ray imaging products, primarily resulting from the completion of a large x-ray imaging program in Asia, and was partially offset by an increase in sales for other medical imaging and radiation therapy applications.
Cash Flow
As of January 1, 2016, CPI had cash and cash equivalents totaling $34.2 million. For the 12-month period ending on that date, CPI’s cash flow from operating activities totaled $14.8 million, free cash flow totaled $8.0 million and adjusted free cash flow totaled $17.2 million.

About CPI International Holding Corp.
CPI International Holding Corp., headquartered in Palo Alto, California, is the parent company of CPI International, Inc., which is the parent company of Communications & Power Industries LLC and Communications & Power Industries Canada Inc. Together, Communications & Power Industries LLC and Communications & Power Industries Canada Inc. develop, manufacture and globally distribute components and subsystems used in the generation, amplification, transmission and reception of microwave signals for a wide variety of systems including radar, electronic warfare and communications (satellite and point-to-point) systems for military and commercial applications, specialty products for medical diagnostic imaging and the treatment of cancer, as well as microwave and RF energy generating products for various industrial and scientific pursuits.
Non-GAAP Supplemental Information
EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow presented here are non-generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) financial measures. EBITDA represents earnings before net interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA further adjusted to exclude certain non-recurring, non-cash, unusual or other items. EBITDA margin represents EBITDA divided by sales. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents adjusted EBITDA divided by sales. Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures and patent application fees. Adjusted free cash flow represents free cash flow further adjusted to exclude certain non-recurring, unusual or other items.
CPI believes that GAAP-based financial information for leveraged businesses, such as the company’s business, should be supplemented by EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow so that investors better understand the company’s operating performance in connection with their analysis of the company’s business. In addition, CPI’s management team uses EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the company’s operating performance, to monitor compliance with its senior credit facility, to make day-to-day operating decisions and as a component in the calculation of management bonuses. Other companies may define EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow differently and, as a result, the company’s measures may not be directly comparable to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow of other companies. Because EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow do not include certain material costs, such as interest and taxes in the case of EBITDA-based measures, necessary to operate the company’s business, when analyzing the company’s business, these non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, net income (loss), net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, net income margin or other statements of income or statements of cash flows data prepared in accordance with GAAP.
