(Unaudited - In Millions, Except Per Share Data)

Note 1.Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. All adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods shown are of a normal recurring nature and have been reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any future period. The information included in these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the KLX Inc. (the “Company” or “KLX”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2016.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2.Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which amends ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. The ASU includes multiple provisions intended to simplify various aspects of the accounting for share-based payments. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this update will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”), which supersedes ASC Topic 840, Leases, and creates a new topic, ASC Topic 842, Leases. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier adoption is permitted. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a lease asset for all leases, including operating leases, with a term greater than 12 months on its balance sheet. The update also expands the required quantitative and qualitative disclosures surrounding leases. ASU 2016-02 will be applied using a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this update on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which updated the guidance in ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should identify the contract(s) with a customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date. The amendments in this update deferred the effective date for implementation of ASU 2014-09 by one year and is now effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that period.  In April 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and

Licensing, and in May 2016, ASU 2016-12, Revenues from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients both of which provide supplemental adoption guidance and clarification to ASU 2014-09. ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-12 must be adopted concurrently with the adoption of ASU 2014-09. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and disclosures and is currently unable to estimate the impact of adopting this guidance.

Note 3.Business Combinations

On May 17, 2016, the Company acquired Herndon Aerospace & Defense LLC (“Herndon”), an aftermarket aerospace supply chain management and consumables hardware distributor servicing principally aftermarket military depots as well as the commercial aerospace aftermarket for an aggregate purchase price of $221.5 (net of cash acquired). The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase under FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2016 and the results of operations are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive income from the date of acquisition. The valuation of the acquired assets and liabilities is not yet complete, and as such the Company has not yet finalized its allocation of the purchase price for the acquisition.

The following table summarizes the current estimates of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Herndon acquisition in accordance with ASC 805, which are currently recorded based on management’s estimates as follows:

The majority of goodwill and intangible assets are expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

On a pro forma basis to give effect to the Herndon acquisition as if it occurred on February 1, 2015, revenues, net earnings and earnings per diluted share for the three months ended July 31, 2016 were $397.5, $10.8 and $0.21, respectively, and $809.7, $20.2 and $0.39, respectively, for the six months ended July 31, 2016. Revenues, net earnings and earnings per diluted share for the three months ended July 31, 2015 were $446.2, $9.2 and $0.18, respectively, and $909.7, $29.5 and $0.56, respectively, for the six months ended July 31, 2015.

The Company has begun integrating Herndon into its Aerospace Solutions Group (“ASG”) segment systems. As a result, it is not practicable to report stand-alone operating earnings of the acquired business since the acquisition date. Revenues from Herndon from the acquisition date of May 17, 2016 through July 31, 2016 were $27.8.

Note 4.Inventories

Inventories, made up of finished goods, consist primarily of aerospace fasteners and consumables. The Company values inventories at the lower of cost or market, using first‑in, first‑out or weighted average cost method. The Company reviews inventory quantities on hand and recorded a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on historical demand, estimated product demand to support contractual supply agreements with its customers and the age of the inventory, among other factors. As noted in Part I.

Item 4 Controls and Procedures, during the second quarter, the Company adopted a demand based excess and obsolete methodology.  There was no change to the reserve for excess or obsolete inventories during the current or any prior periods. Demand for the Company’s products can fluctuate from period to period depending on customer activity. In accordance with industry practice, inventories include amounts relating to long-term contracts with long production cycles, some of which are not expected to be realized within one year. In addition, the Company supports a substantial portion of the global fleet of aircraft in service, and in its capacity as a stocking distributor will acquire and hold inventories for aircraft maintenance at periodic intervals as mandated by the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) or similar regulatory agencies. Based on historical experience, the support of the aftermarket activities with products such as those which the Company sells will necessitate holding inventory in excess of the amount required to support new build production activity contracts.  Obsolescence has historically been immaterial for the Company due to the long life of an aircraft and nature of the products sold by the Company. Aftermarket revenues, expressed as a percentage of total ASG revenues over the past seven years, ranged from approximately 35% to 60%. Aftermarket revenues for the year ended January 31, 2016 and the six months ended July 31, 2016 were approximately 36% and 38%, respectively. As a result, the Company has historically held, and intends to continue to hold a significant portion of its inventories to support the aftermarket demand. Inventory with a limited shelf life is continually monitored and reserved for in advance of expiration. The annual provision for inventory with limited shelf life has historically been immaterial. Reserves for excess and obsolete inventory were approximately $46.1 and $40.4 as of July 31, 2016 and January 31, 2016, respectively.

Note 5.Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The table below sets forth the intangible assets by major asset class, all of which were acquired through business purchase transactions:

Amortization expense associated with identifiable intangible assets was approximately $5.2 and $6.7 for the three months ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $9.9 and $13.3 for the six months ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company currently expects to recognize amortization expense of approximately $15.0 in each of the next five fiscal years (primarily related to our ASG business). The future amortization amounts are estimates. Actual future amortization expense may be different due to finalization of purchase price allocations of acquisitions, future acquisitions, impairments, changes in amortization periods or other factors such as changes in exchange rates for assets acquired outside the United States. The Company expenses costs to renew or extend the term of a recognized intangible asset.  Goodwill increased by $60.5 as compared to January 31, 2016 primarily as a result of the Herndon acquisition made by the ASG segment during the current quarter.

The fair value of the ASG reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by approximately 16% as of December 31, 2015, and approximately $1,015.4 of goodwill has been allocated to the ASG reporting unit as of July 31, 2016. ASG's cash flow projections were a significant input into the December 31, 2015 reporting unit fair value. ASG’s revenues of $690.2 for the six month period ended July 31, 2016 declined by 1.4% as compared to the prior year period, in which ASG generated record revenues of $699.7.  Revenues in the first half of 2016 reflected the contribution from the May 17, 2016 acquisition of Herndon, which generated revenues of $27.8.  Despite the slightly lower level of revenues in the current six month period as compared with the prior year record revenues, ASG cash from operations is consistent with projections used in our December 31, 2015 step 1 impairment test. However, should our future cash from operations decline to levels inconsistent with our projected results, long-term projections may be adjusted downward, which could

negatively impact future valuations of the ASG reporting unit which could result in an impairment charge, which depending on the specific changes, could be material to KLX.

Note 6. Related Party Transactions

On December 17, 2014, B/E Aerospace, Inc. (“Former Parent” or “B/E Aerospace”) created an independent public company through a spin-off of its ASG and ESG businesses to Former Parent’s stockholders (“Spin-Off”).  Following the Spin-Off, the Company created in-house substantially all of the functions that were previously provided to it by B/E Aerospace. In addition, the Company has entered into certain agreements with B/E Aerospace relating to transition services and IT services for a transitional period of approximately 24 months following the Spin-Off. In addition, the Company entered into an employee matters agreement and a tax sharing and indemnification agreement with B/E Aerospace in connection with the Spin-Off. This transitional support enables KLX to establish its stand-alone processes for various activities that were previously provided by B/E Aerospace and does not constitute significant continuing support of KLX’s operations. Expenses incurred under those agreements totaled $2.3 and $3.7 for the three months ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $5.0 and $6.1 for the six months ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As of July 31, 2016, the Company has recorded a tax indemnity payable to B/E Aerospace totaling $4.7, of which $0.1 is classified in other current liabilities and $4.6 is classified in other long term liabilities.

Sales to B/E Aerospace were $7.5 and $4.8 for the three months ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $13.2 and $9.3 for the six months ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Note 7.Accrued Liabilities

Accrued liabilities consisted of the following:

Note 8.Long-Term Debt

As of July 31, 2016, long-term debt consisted of $1,200.0 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.875% senior unsecured notes due 2022 (the “5.875% Notes”). On a net basis, after taking into consideration the debt issue costs for the Term Loan Facility, total debt was $1,180.7.  As of July 31, 2016, the Company also had a $750.0 undrawn secured revolving credit facility pursuant to a credit agreement dated as of December 16, 2014 and amended and restated on May 19, 2015 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at an annual rate equal to the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) plus the applicable margin (as defined).  No amounts were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of July 31, 2016.

The Revolving Credit Facility is tied to a borrowing base formula and has no maintenance financial covenants.  This Revolving Credit Facility matures in May 2020.

Letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility aggregated $3.3 and $0.5 at July 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Note 9.Fair Value Measurements

All short-term financial instruments are generally carried at amounts that approximate estimated fair value. The fair value is the price at which an asset could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties. Assets measured at fair value are categorized based upon the lowest level of significant input to the valuations.

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 – quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 3 – unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data available, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents (which the Company classifies as Level 1 assets), accounts receivable – trade and accounts payable represent their respective fair values due to their short-term nature. There was no debt outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of July 31, 2016. The fair value of the Company’s 5.875% Notes, based on market prices for publicly-traded debt (which the Company classifies as Level 2 inputs), was $1,215.7 and $1,136.4 as of July 31, 2016 and January 31, 2016, respectively.

Note 10.Commitments, Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Lease Commitments - The Company finances its use of certain facilities and equipment under committed lease arrangements provided by various institutions. Since the terms of these arrangements meet the accounting definition of operating lease arrangements, the aggregate sum of future minimum lease payments is not reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. At July 31, 2016, future minimum lease payments under these arrangements approximated $94.1, the majority of which related to long-term real estate leases.

Litigation - The Company is a defendant in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business, the outcomes of which, in the opinion of management, neither individually nor in the aggregate are likely to result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Indemnities, Commitments and Guarantees - During its normal course of business, the Company has made certain indemnities, commitments and guarantees under which it may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These indemnities include indemnities to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facility or lease and indemnities to other parties to certain acquisition agreements. The duration of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees varies, and in certain cases, is indefinite. Many of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees provide for limitations on the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. However, the Company is unable to estimate the maximum amount of liability related to its indemnities, commitments and guarantees because such liabilities are contingent upon the occurrence of events that are not reasonably determinable. Management believes that any liability for these indemnities, commitments and guarantees would not be material to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, no significant amounts have been accrued for indemnities, commitments and guarantees.

The Company has employment agreements with three year initial terms, which renew for one additional year on each anniversary date, with certain key members of management. The Company’s employment agreements generally provide for certain protections in the event of a change of control. These protections generally include the payment of severance and related benefits under certain circumstances in the event of a change of control.

Note 11.Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has a Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) under which the Company’s Compensation Committee has the authority to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units or other forms of equity-based or equity-related awards.

The Company accounts for share-based compensation arrangements in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, whereby share-based compensation cost is measured on the date of grant, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized over the requisite service period.

Compensation cost recognized during the three and six months ended July 31, 2016 and 2015 related to KLX restricted stock and stock options was $4.9 and $3.4, and $9.5 and $7.1, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense related to these grants was $36.6 at July 31, 2016.

KLX has established a qualified Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the terms of which allow for qualified employees (as defined in the Plan) to participate in the purchase of designated shares of KLX’s common stock at a price equal to 85% of the closing price on the last business day of each semi‑annual stock purchase period. The fair value of employee purchase rights represents the difference between the closing price of KLX’s shares on the date of purchase and the purchase price of the shares. Compensation cost for this plan was not material to any of the periods presented.

Note 12.Segment Reporting

The Company is organized based on the products and services it offers. As a result of the ESG acquisitions, the Company determined that ESG met the requirements of a reportable segment operating in a single line of business. The Company’s ASG reportable segment, which is also an operating segment, is comprised of consumables management and is in a single line of business. The segments regularly report their results of operations and make requests for capital expenditures and acquisition funding to the Company’s chief operational decision-making group (“CODM”). This group is comprised of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the President and Chief Operating Officer. As a result, the CODM has determined the Company has two reportable segments.

The following table presents revenues and operating earnings (losses) by reportable segment:

The following table presents capital expenditures by reportable segment:

Corporate capital expenditures have been allocated to the above segments based on each segment’s percentage of total capital expenditures.

The following table presents goodwill by reportable segment:

The following table presents total assets by reportable segment:

Corporate assets (primarily cash and cash equivalents) of $371.8 and $559.5 at July 31, 2016 and January 31, 2016, respectively, have been allocated to the above segments based on each segment’s percentage of total assets.

Note 13.Net Earnings Per Common Share

Basic net earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings per common share is computed by using the weighted average common shares outstanding including the dilutive effect of stock options, shares issued under the KLX LTIP and restricted shares based on an average share price during the period. For the three months ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, approximately 0.3 and 0.2 shares and for the six months ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, approximately 0.3 and 0.2 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively, were excluded from the determination of diluted earnings per common share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. The computations of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended July 31, 2016 and 2015 are as follows:

Note 14.Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

In accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. As of July 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had $12.4 and $10.2, respectively, of uncertain tax positions, including accrued interest of $1.6 and $1.1 at July 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, all of which would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. Pursuant to the terms of the Tax Sharing Agreement with our former parent, B/E Aerospace, the Company may be liable for income tax in certain foreign jurisdictions arising from the examination of tax years during which the Company was part of the B/E Group.  The statute of limitations in these foreign jurisdictions is open for tax years 2007-2014. There are currently no material income tax audits in progress.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(In Millions, Except Per Share Data)

The following discussion and analysis addresses the results of our operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2016 as compared to our results of operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2015. In addition, the discussion and analysis addresses our liquidity, financial condition and other matters for these periods.

We believe, based on our experience in the industry, that we are a leading distributor and value‑added service provider of aerospace fasteners and consumables, and that we offer one of the broadest ranges of aerospace hardware, consumables and inventory management services worldwide. Founded in 1974 as M&M Aerospace Hardware, aerospace solutions group (“ASG”), formerly the consumables management segment of B/E Aerospace has evolved into an industry leader through multiple acquisitions and strong organic growth. As of January 31, 2016, ASG’s global presence consisted of more than 1.4 million square feet in 17 principal facilities with approximately 1,900 employees worldwide. We have substantially expanded the size, scope and nature of our business as a result of a number of acquisitions. B/E Aerospace acquired M&M in 2001. Between 2002 and 2012, we completed six acquisitions, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.9 billion. We believe our organic growth together with these acquisitions enabled us to position ourselves as a preferred global supplier to our customers. We believe we have become our industry’s leading provider of aerospace fasteners, consumable products and supply chain management services. Through our global facilities network and advanced information technology systems, we believe we offer unparalleled service to commercial airlines, business jet and defense original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), maintenance, repair and overhaul (“MRO”) operators, and fixed base operators (“FBOs”). With a large and diverse global customer base, including virtually all of the world’s commercial airlines, business jet and defense OEMs, OEM subcontractors and major MRO operators across five continents, we provide access to over one million stock keeping units (“SKUs”). We serve as a distributor for every major aerospace fastener manufacturer. In order to support our vast range of custom products and services, we have invested over $100 in proprietary IT systems to create a superior technology platform. Our systems support both internal distribution processes and part attributes, along with customer services, including just-in-time (“JIT”) deliveries and kitting solutions, which we believe are unmatched by any competitor. In addition, through the acquisition of Herndon Aerospace & Defense LLC (“Herndon”) in May 2016 for approximately $221.5 net of cash acquired, we expanded our capability to provide comprehensive aftermarket supply chain management solutions to a broader portfolio of aftermarket customers. Herndon has established itself within the Department of Defense and its procurement arm, the Defense Logistics Agency, is a proven supplier of a broad range of consumables resulting in a number of long-term contracts with major military installations. Herndon’s unique land-based military depot aftermarket product distribution platform will serve as an excellent new growth platform for ASG. This aforementioned operating business is operated within our ASG segment.

The Company also provides certain supply chain management services to certain of its customers. These services include the timely replenishment of products at the customer site, while also minimizing the customer’s on-hand inventory. These services are provided by the Company contemporaneously with the delivery of the product, and as such, once the product is delivered, the Company does not have a post-delivery obligation to provide services to the customer. The price of such services is generally included in the price of the products delivered to the customer, and revenue is recognized upon delivery of the product, at which point, the Company has satisfied its obligations to the customer. The Company does not account for these services as a separate element, as the services do not have stand-alone value and cannot be separated from the product element of the arrangement.

In 2013, we initiated an expansion into the energy services sector. Over 2013 and 2014, we acquired seven companies in the business of providing technical services and related rental equipment to oil and gas exploration and production companies. As a result, we now provide a broad range of solutions and equipment, which bring value‑added resources to a new customer base, often in remote locations. Our customers include independent and major oil and gas companies that are engaged in the exploration and

production of oil and gas in North America, including in the Northeast (Marcellus and Utica Shales), Rocky Mountains (Williston and Piceance Basins), Southwest (Permian Basin and Eagle Ford Shale) and Mid‑Continent. This business is operated within our energy services group (“ESG”) segment.

Revenues by reportable segment for the three and six months ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, were as follows:

Revenues by geographic area (based on destination) for the three and six months ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, were as follows:

Revenues from our domestic and foreign operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, were as follows:

The Company is organized based on the products and services it offers. We determined that ASG and ESG met the requirements of a reportable segment each operating in a single line of business. Each segment regularly reports its results of operations and makes requests for capital expenditures and acquisition funding to the Company’s chief operational decision‑making group. Each operating segment has separate management teams and infrastructures dedicated to providing a full range of products and services to their customers.

Current ESG Industry Conditions

Over the past 18 months, as the price of crude oil declined from over $100.00 per barrel in 2014 to approximately $45.00, oil field service companies that provide services similar to ESG have all suffered significant reductions in demand and pricing from their oil exploration and production customers.  This severe change in industry conditions resulted in a reduction of almost 900 oil rigs, a loss of almost 200,000 U.S. jobs throughout the energy sector and a corresponding decrease in demand and pricing for oil field services as the E&P companies cut back their spending for new exploration.

We initiated a business alignment and cost reduction initiative in 2015 to size our operations to current demand levels. ESG’s second quarter performance has begun to reflect our business realignment and cost reduction initiatives as evidenced by a reduction in operating loss as compared with the first quarter of 2016. On a sequential quarterly basis, ESG’s operating loss decreased by $7.3, or 23.7%, to $23.5 despite a

$4.8, or 12.9%, decline in sequential quarterly revenues. We are continuing to carefully manage our costs, while continuing to invest in differentiating technologies, personnel and innovative product and service lines, as we build an industry leading platform in the services niche in which we operate.

Management is focused on controlling costs to limit losses while adding differentiated technologies and services to continue to build our valuable franchise. We expect the benefit of the business alignment actions we have taken, which include an approximately 55% reduction in headcount and the consolidation of 11 facilities, together with our commitment to closely scrutinize all capital expenditures, will continue to lower both our costs and our cash burn rate, which we define as EBITDA less capital expenditures, during the second half of the year, while retaining the capability to disproportionally benefit as market conditions improve.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 2016

COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 2015

($ in Millions, Except Per Share Data)

Second quarter 2016 revenues of $391.4 decreased 5.2% as compared to the prior year period. The consolidated results reflect a $7.4 increase in ASG’s revenues offset by a $28.7 decline in ESG revenues as compared with the prior year. On a sequential quarterly basis, consolidated revenues increased 6.3% as a result of a $28.0 increase in ASG revenues primarily related to the Herndon acquisition, offset by a $4.8 decline in ESG revenues.

Cost of sales for the three months ended July 31, 2016 was $296.3, or 75.7% of revenues, as compared to cost of sales for the three month period ended July 31, 2015 of $315.3, or 76.4% of revenues. 

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense for the three months ended July 31, 2016 was $60.1, or 15.4% of revenues, as compared with $64.6, or 15.7% of revenues, in the prior year period. The decrease in SG&A expense in the current year is primarily due to our business realignment and cost reduction initiatives at ESG ($6.5) offset by a $2.0 increase at ASG primarily related to the acquisition of Herndon during the current quarterly period along with approximately $1.5 of acquisition related costs.

Operating earnings for the three months ended July 31, 2016 were $35.0 and operating margin was 8.9% as compared to $32.8 and 7.9%, respectively, in the prior year period. Operating earnings increased primarily due to a $2.8 reduction in operating loss at ESG as a result of our business realignment and cost reduction initiatives.

Interest expense for the three months ended July 31, 2016 of $19.1 decreased by $1.5 as compared to the prior year period.

Income tax expense for the three months ended July 31, 2016 was $6.3, or 39.5% of earnings before income taxes, as compared with $4.8, or 39.3% of earnings before income taxes, in the prior year. The increase in the tax rate in the current period relates to changes in jurisdictions in which income is earned and varying levels of non-deductible items in each period.

Net earnings and net earnings per share for the three months ended July 31, 2016 were $9.6 and $0.18, respectively, as compared to $7.4 and $0.14, respectively, in 2015. The changes in net earnings are due to the various factors discussed above. 

Segment Results

The following is a summary of operating earnings (loss) by segment:

Second quarter 2016 revenues (exclusive of the Herndon acquisition) were negatively impacted by headwinds from our legacy military manufacturing customers and lower production levels at a number of commercial aerospace manufacturing customers. These headwinds were more than offset by the recent acquisition of Herndon, which contributed $27.8 of revenues since its acquisition on May 17, 2016. ASG’s revenues (exclusive of the Herndon acquisition) were essentially flat with the first quarter of 2016. ASG second quarter 2016 operating earnings were essentially flat when compared to the prior year, and operating margin in the current year was 16.3% as compared with an operating margin of 16.8% in 2015 reflecting approximately $1.5 of Herndon acquisition costs and the margin dilutive impact of the Herndon acquisition.

The decline in revenues from ASG’s military manufacturing customers reflects the ongoing effects of sequestration, sun-setting of certain programs and lower levels of military helicopters produced. The decline in sales to military manufacturing customers and lower production levels at numerous commercial aerospace manufacturing customers were more than offset by revenues from the recent Herndon acquisition, which contributed $27.8 since May 17, 2016.

The integration of Herndon is well underway, and we have already made major progress in the first phase of combining the overlapping parts of the two businesses. We continue to expect significant synergies upon completion of the integration by the end of 2017.

Second quarter 2016 ESG revenues were $32.3, a $28.7 or 47.0% decline as compared to the prior year, while operating loss was reduced by 10.6% to $(23.5). On a sequential quarterly basis compared with the first quarter of 2016, revenues declined by $4.8, or 12.9%, while operating loss was reduced by $7.3, or 23.7%, to $(23.5) in spite of challenging market conditions, with both demand and pricing levels at record lows.

ESG second quarter results have begun to reflect the difficult actions we have taken to reduce costs while striving to continue to provide quality service to our customers. Management is focused on controlling costs to limit losses while adding differentiated technologies and services to continue to build our valuable franchise. We expect the benefit of the business alignment actions we have taken, which include an approximately 55% reduction in headcount and the consolidation of 11 facilities, together with our commitment to closely scrutinize all capital expenditures, will continue to lower both our costs and our cash burn rate during the second half of the year, while retaining the capability to disproportionally benefit as market conditions improve.
