CPI INTERNATIONAL ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2017 FINANCIAL RESULTS

PALO ALTO, Calif. - February 7, 2017 - CPI International Holding Corp., the parent company of CPI International, Inc. (CPI), today announced financial results for its fiscal year 2017 first quarter, which ended on December 30, 2016.
“As we indicated in our financial results conference call in December, we expect fiscal 2017 to follow a similar quarterly pattern to fiscal 2016. Specifically, we expect business momentum to grow as the year progresses, resulting in a stronger second half of the year as compared to the first half. CPI’s performance in the first quarter was consistent with these expectations. Although we experienced delays on certain orders in the first quarter, several previously delayed orders of meaningful size were placed in January, just after the quarter ended, including significant orders for amplifiers, antennas and high-power vacuum electron devices,” said Joe Caldarelli, chief executive officer. “We are confident that business will continue to ramp up as the year progresses.”
Orders and Sales
CPI booked $104 million in orders in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, a 14 percent decrease from the $120 million booked in the same quarter of the previous year. Orders increased in the medical market, but decreased in the defense and communications markets.
Sales totaled $115 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, a four percent increase from the $111 million generated in the same quarter of the previous year. Sales increased in the medical and communications markets, but decreased in the defense market.
Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA
CPI’s net income in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 totaled $0.2 million, improving from the $1.2 million net loss recorded in the same quarter of the previous year.
Adjusted EBITDA totaled $18.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, increasing from the $16.3 million generated in the same quarter of the previous year.
Higher sales volume in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 was the primary reason for the increases in net income and adjusted EBITDA. In addition, in comparison to the same quarter of the previous year, CPI’s net income in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 benefited from the absence of expenses related to the September 2015 acquisition of ASC Signal Corporation.
Defense Market
In the first quarter of fiscal 2017, CPI’s orders in the defense market decreased eight percent to $35.6 million. This decrease was primarily the result of the timing of large orders to support the Aegis radar systems. In particular, in the first quarter of fiscal 2016, CPI’s Econco Division received a multi-year order totaling more than $9 million to provide new power grid devices for the Aegis radar systems; as expected, this order did not repeat in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The decrease in orders for the Aegis radar systems was partially offset by an increase in orders to support a variety of other domestic radar systems.
CPI’s defense sales decreased eight percent to $36.7 million. This decrease was due to the recent completion of a large aircraft radome program, which resulted in a $3.2 million decrease in sales for that program in the first quarter of fiscal 2017.




Communications Market
In the first quarter of fiscal 2016, CPI booked the highest level of total communications orders, as well as the highest level of military communications orders, in a single quarter in CPI’s history. In comparison, communications orders in the most recent quarter were consistent with CPI’s average quarterly orders level in the past two fiscal years. Communications orders decreased 26 percent to $47.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, largely due to program timing.
CPI’s communications sales increased 13 percent to $51.6 million. This increase was primarily due to higher sales for products to support military communications applications, resulting from orders booked in prior quarters, including higher sales of advanced advanced tactical common data link (TCDL) antenna products and aircraft radomes.
Medical Market
In the first quarter of fiscal 2017, orders in the medical market increased 17 percent to $12.7 million. This increase was due to higher orders for x-ray imaging products, primarily for foreign customers. In particular, orders for x-ray imaging products from customers in Asia increased.
CPI’s medical sales increased 14 percent to $18.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. This increase was due to higher sales of x-ray imaging products, primarily to foreign customers, and higher sales of radiation therapy products. In particular, sales of x-ray imaging products to customers in Asia increased.
Cash Flow
As of December 30, 2016, CPI’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $44.3 million. For the 12-month period ending on that date, cash flow from operating activities totaled $30.9 million, free cash flow totaled $24.6 million and adjusted free cash flow totaled $26.4 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.

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.
