Daktronics, Inc. Announces First Quarter Fiscal 2018 Results
Brookings, S.D. – August 22, 2017 - Daktronics, Inc. (NASDAQ - DAKT) today reported fiscal 2018 first quarter net sales of $172.7 million, operating income of $11.7 million, and net income of $8.4 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared to net sales of $157.1 million, operating income of $8.0 million, and net income of $5.5 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Fiscal 2018 first quarter orders were $153.1 million, compared to $175.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Backlog at the end of the fiscal 2018 first quarter was $184 million, compared to a backlog of $198 million a year earlier and $203 million at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017.
Cash used in operating activities in the first three months of fiscal 2018 was $4.9 million, compared with cash provided by operating activities of $6.6 million in the same period last year. Cash flow from operating activities fluctuated due to a rise in accounts receivable corresponding with the increase in net sales. Free cash flow, defined as cash provided from or used in operating activities less net investment in property and equipment, was a negative $8.9 million for the first three months of fiscal 2018, as compared to a positive free cash flow of $4.5 million for the same period of fiscal 2017. Net investment in property and equipment was $4.0 million for the first three months of fiscal 2018, as compared to $2.1 million for the first three months of fiscal 2017. Cash, restricted cash, and marketable securities at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2018 were $52.1 million, which compares to $50.2 million at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and $65.6 million at the end of fiscal 2017.
Orders for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 decreased 12.6 percent as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Orders increased in the Live Events and High School Park and Recreation business units and decreased in the Commercial, Transportation, and International business units. The timing of orders for large projects varies according to the needs of the customer, which was the primary cause of the decrease in order volume.
Net sales increased by 9.9 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Net sales increased in the Live Events and Transportation business units, decreased in the Commercial and International business units, and remained relatively flat in the High School Park and Recreation business unit. The increase in Live Events business unit was due to continued demand for upgraded or new solutions throughout venues for arenas, professional sports, and colleges and universities. Transportation net sales increase was primarily due to higher demand from state transportation authorities during the first quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to the same period last year. The decrease in Commercial was primarily due to lower shipments of digital billboards. The decline in net sales in the International business unit was primarily due to order timing differences from quarter to quarter.
Gross profit percentage for the quarter increased 0.9 percent as compared to last year primarily due to improved performance on large projects as compared to original estimates.
Operating expenses increased by 5.9 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2017 primarily due to increased product development activities.
Operating income as a percent of sales for the quarter increased to 6.8 percent as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2017 operating income of 5.1 percent.
Reece Kurtenbach, chairman, president and chief executive officer stated, “Our first quarter is historically one of the busiest quarters as we produce, deliver, and install for outdoor sports venues and other outdoor systems during the summer construction season. This quarter's sales were derived from progress or completion on projects for new or renovated NFL stadiums including the Mercedes Benz Stadium, Ford Field, and Heinz Field; and for college sports stadiums at the University of Wisconsin, Appalachian State, and St. Louis University to name a few."
Outlook
Kurtenbach added, “We are starting our second quarter with a strong backlog and pipeline of order opportunities. While order volume can be lumpy due to a variety of factors, we continue to see the video display business expanding. We expect continued success in managing the business for long-term profitable growth. We are focused on enhancing our overall product line-up to create opportunities to capture a broader customer base. To deliver value to our customers and serve the markets' expectations, we plan to increase the level of expenditures for new or enhanced customer solutions as compared to prior years during fiscal 2018.”

*In evaluating its business, Daktronics considers and uses free cash flow as a key measure of its operating performance. The term free cash flow is not defined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and is not a measure of operating income, cash flows from operating activities or other GAAP figures and should not be considered alternatives to those computations. Free cash flow is intended to provide information that may be useful for investors when assessing period to period results.
