CPI INTERNATIONAL ANNOUNCES FISCAL 2016 FINANCIAL RESULTS

PALO ALTO, Calif. - December 14, 2016 - CPI International Holding Corp., the parent company of CPI International, Inc. (CPI), today announced financial results for its fiscal year 2016, which ended on September 30, 2016.
“The second half of fiscal 2016 was very strong for CPI, offsetting the somewhat slow start to the year that was caused by delays in the placement of government orders. These delays have eased somewhat and business conditions strengthened as the year progressed. As we enter fiscal 2017, our defense market remains healthy, our communications market is strong and our medical market is beginning to rebound,” said Joe Caldarelli, chief executive officer. “Additionally, over the course of the year, we announced several noteworthy, large programs that were awarded to CPI, promising not only ongoing shipments but also fostering our research and development activities and expanding our capabilities in microwave and millimeter wave technologies.”
Orders and Sales
CPI’s total orders and sales were at the highest levels in its history in fiscal 2016. In addition, orders in each of the company’s three largest markets were at or near record levels. Sales in the defense and communications markets set new records, as well.
CPI booked orders totaling $501 million in fiscal 2016, a 14 percent increase from the $437 million booked in the prior year. Orders increased in the defense, medical and communications markets.
Sales in fiscal 2016 totaled $495 million, a 10 percent increase from the $448 million generated in the previous year. Sales increased in the defense and communications markets, but decreased in the medical market.
CPI ASC Signal Division contributed approximately $50 million in orders and approximately $47 million in sales to fiscal 2016. The significant majority of CPI ASC Signal Division’s business is in the communications market; the remainder is in the radar segment of the defense market.
Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA
CPI generated net income totaling $5.7 million in fiscal 2016, a 16 percent increase from the $4.9 million generated in the prior year.
The company’s adjusted EBITDA totaled $86.1 million in fiscal 2016, a nine percent increase from the $79.1 million generated in fiscal 2015.
The increases in net income and adjusted EBITDA were primarily the result of higher sales volume in fiscal 2016, particularly from the ASC Signal Division.
Defense Market
In fiscal 2016, CPI’s orders in the defense market increased one percent to $177 million. This increase was primarily the result of higher orders for a variety of radar programs, including the Aegis radar systems, and for an airborne electronic countermeasure system.
Defense sales increased three percent to $186 million. The inclusion of sales from the ASC Signal Division and higher sales for radar programs, including the Aegis radar systems, were the primary reasons for this increase.




Communications Market
CPI’s orders in the communications market totaled $217 million in fiscal 2016, increasing 35 percent from the prior year. The inclusion of military and commercial communications orders from the ASC Signal Division was responsible for approximately 60 percent of this increase. Additionally, military communications orders increased due to higher demand for radomes to support a shipboard program and for advanced tactical common data link (TCDL) antenna products for unmanned aerial vehicle programs. Commercial communications orders increased due to strong demand for satellite communications programs, particularly to support high-throughput satellite (HTS) systems and other fixed satellite service (FSS) applications.
Sales in the communications market totaled $210 million, an increase of 27 percent from fiscal 2015. The increase was driven by the inclusion of antenna product sales from CPI ASC Signal Division and strong sales of high-power amplifiers from the Satcom Division, partially offset by lower sales of advanced antennas from the Malibu Division.
Medical Market
In the medical market, orders totaled $80.8 million, an increase of 17 percent from fiscal 2015. The increase was primarily the result of higher orders for radiation therapy products, largely stemming from the receipt of multi-year orders in fiscal 2016. Orders for x-ray imaging and MRI products decreased.
Medical sales were $59.6 million in fiscal 2016, a 12 percent decrease from the prior year. Lower sales of x-ray imaging products for foreign customers and lower sales of MRI products contributed to this decrease. Sales of radiation therapy products increased.
Cash Flow
As of September 30, 2016, CPI’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $50.2 million, increasing from $37.5 million as of the prior year end.
In fiscal 2016, the company’s cash flow from operating activities was $26.1 million. Free cash flow totaled $20.2 million. Adjusted free cash flow was $29.1 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 stock-based compensation expenses, certain acquisition-related and non-ordinary course professional expenses, Veritas Capital management fees and purchase accounting expenses. 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 acquisition-related items, non-ordinary course professional expenses and sponsor management fees, net of any tax benefits.
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.
