SAN DIEGO,
May 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: KTOS), a leading National Security Solutions provider, today reported its first quarter 2021 financial results. For the first quarter of 2021, Kratos reported Revenues of
$194.2 million, Operating Income of
$4.9 million, Net Income of
$1.9 million and Adjusted EBITDA of
$18.1 million.
First Quarter 2021 Revenues of
$194.2 million increased 15.0 percent, as compared to Revenues of
$168.9 million in the first quarter of 2020, reflecting organic growth in Kratos’ Unmanned Systems, Space and Satellite, C5ISR, Microwave Products, Rocket Support Systems and Turbine Technology businesses, offset partially by certain reductions, including in our Training Solutions business, primarily resulting from a previously disclosed reduction in scope of certain international training contracts. Excluding the impact of the
ASC Signal, TDI and 5D acquisitions, revenue grew organically 8.9 percent in the first quarter of 2021 as compared to the first quarter of 2020. Revenue grew organically 11.6 percent in the first quarter of 2021 on a proforma basis, excluding the impact of the acquisitions and the reduction of the international training contracts.
Operating Income of
$4.9 million in the first quarter of 2021 increased from
$4.7 million in the first quarter of 2020, with first quarter 2021 Operating Income including increases in non-cash stock-based compensation expense of
$1.5 million and R&D of
$2.3 million over the first quarter of 2020. First Quarter 2021 Adjusted EBITDA of
$18.1 million increased 11.0 percent, as compared to
$16.3 million in the first quarter of 2020, primarily reflecting the increase in revenues.
First quarter 2021 Cash Flow generated from Operations was
$22.7 million, and Free Cash Flow Generated from Operations was
$13.1 million, after funding
$9.6 million of capital expenditures. Cash on hand at
March 28, 2021 was
$383.6 million. Kratos reported first quarter 2021 Net income of
$1.9 million, and GAAP EPS of
$0.02 for the first quarter of 2021, compared to Net Loss of
$0.2 million and GAAP EPS of
$0.00 for the first quarter of 2020. Adjusted EPS was
$0.06 for the first quarter of 2021 compared to
$0.06 for the first quarter of 2020. The Company has approximately
$280 million of net operating loss carryforwards, which are expected to substantially shield Kratos from paying future cash income taxes.
For the first quarter of 2021, Kratos’ Unmanned Systems Segment (KUS) Revenues of
$55.9 million increased 33.1 percent, as compared to
$42.0 million in the first quarter of 2020, and KUS operating income increased by 740.0 percent, to
$4.2 million in the first quarter of 2021 from
$0.5 million in the first quarter of 2020. First quarter 2021 KUS Adjusted EBITDA of
$6.4 million increased 178.3 percent, as compared to first quarter 2020 Adjusted EBITDA of
$2.3 million, primarily reflecting increases in certain target drone programs and leverage achieved with the fixed manufacturing, overhead and general and administrative structure, offset by certain development programs, including tactical drone development programs, which typically generate lower margins.
KUS’s book-to-bill ratio for the first quarter of 2021 was 0.7 to 1.0 and 1.2 to 1.0 for the last twelve months ended
March 28, 2021, with bookings of
$247.4 million for the twelve months ended
March 28, 2021. Total backlog for KUS at the end of the first quarter of 2021 was
$222.4 million, down from
$237.9 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2020, and up from
$174.4 million at the end of the first quarter of 2020.
For the first quarter of 2021, Kratos’ Government Solutions Segment (KGS) reported Revenues of
$138.3 million, an increase of 9.0 percent, as compared to revenues of
$126.9 million in the first quarter of 2020, and operating income of
$7.1 million, down from operating income of
$9.3 million in the first quarter of 2020, reflecting a less favorable revenue mix, including an increase in development-type programs and product-related revenues primarily resulting from the recent
ASC Signal acquisition. Revenues in the first quarter of 2021 include approximately
$8.6 million from the
ASC Signal acquisition, offset by reductions of approximately
$5.0 million in our training solutions business resulting primarily from the previously disclosed scope reductions in certain international training programs. First quarter 2021 KGS Adjusted EBITDA of
$11.7 million was down from first quarter 2020 Adjusted EBITDA of
$14.0 million, primarily reflecting a less favorable mix of revenues and increased investments in R&D expenses of approximately
$2.3 million which were incurred in the space and satellite business.
For the first quarter of 2021, KGS reported a book-to-bill ratio of 0.9 to 1.0, including a book-to-bill ratio of 1.3 to 1.0 in Kratos’ Space, Satellite and Training business. For the twelve months ended
March 28, 2021, KGS reported a book to bill ratio of 1.3 to 1.0, with bookings of
$735.2 million for the twelve months ended
March 28, 2021. KGS total backlog at the end of the first quarter of 2021 was
$670.5 million, down from
$684.2 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2020, and up from
$472.5 million at the end of the first quarter of 2020.
For the first quarter of 2021, Kratos reported consolidated bookings of
$164.9 million and a book-to-bill ratio of 0.8 to 1.0, with consolidated bookings of
$982.6 million and a book-to-bill ratio of 1.3 to 1.0 for the last twelve months ended
March 28, 2021. Backlog at
March 28, 2021 was
$892.9 million, down sequentially from
$922.2 million at
December 27, 2020 and up from
$646.8 million at
March 29, 2020, and Kratos’ bid and proposal pipeline was
$9.0 billion at
March 28, 2021. Backlog at
March 28, 2021 was comprised of funded backlog of
$620.7 million and unfunded backlog of
$272.2 million.
Eric DeMarco, Kratos’ President and CEO, said, “Since our last report to you, the Fiscal 2022 National Security Budget has been submitted at
$753 billion, better than we expected and we believe a positive sign for our industry and Kratos. Importantly, the
Biden Administration has articulated its areas of focus includes retiring legacy systems and driving rapid innovation, affordability and technology into new and fielded systems, areas where Kratos is a clear industry leader.”
Mr. DeMarco continued, “Representative of this change, affordability and technology focus,
Michael Brown, Director of the Defense Innovation Unit (
DIU), a key strategic partner and customer of Kratos, has been selected to become the Pentagon’s Acquisition Chief, emphasizing Mr. Brown’s success as a disruptive
DIU change agent and his previous
Silicon Valley and commercial company experience.”
Mr. DeMarco concluded, “We believe Kratos’ focus on the rapid development and fielding of affordable, disruptive systems, products and solutions, including in unmanned drones, space and satellites, microwave electronics, missile defense, hypersonics, propulsion and lasers is uniquely aligned with today’s National Security requirements and we remain confident in an industry leading, up and to the right organic growth trajectory.”

The second quarter and full year 2021 estimated revenues and operating performance reflects the expected hardware, product and software mix based on current shipment and execution schedules. The second quarter and full year 2021 estimated revenues also include the impact of the recent loss of a large international training contract, which contributed approximately
$34.5 million to the Company’s full year 2020 revenues. Our full year 2021 guidance range includes our current forecasted business mix, and our most recent assumptions of the expected impact of COVID-19, of which Kratos experienced increased employee cases at the end of 2020, which continued into 2021, including in
California and at certain of our drone, space & satellite and C5ISR locations, and recent supplier delays. In addition, estimated second quarter and full year 2021 Operating Income and Adjusted EBITDA reflect the expected mix of development-type contracts and expected investments, primarily in our Space and Satellite, Unmanned, C5ISR and Engine businesses, where we have received or are pursuing a number of large opportunities, including Ground Based Strategic Deterrent (“GBSD”), Over Head Persistent Infrared (OPIR) and Skyborg.
The full year 2021 estimated Operating Cash Flow includes approximately
$10 million of planned investments in our rocket system and engine businesses for new products, including in the Hypersonic area, and to increase Kratos’ market share, as well as approximately
$5 million of the required payback of the 2020 deferred employer related payroll taxes. The 2021 capital expenditure forecast currently includes expected outlays of
$20 to
$25 million associated with the continued production of Valkyrie aircraft prior to receipt of expected customer award(s); therefore, these aircraft are currently reflected as Company-owned assets until receipt of the related customer award(s). Kratos will adjust the forecasted capital expenditure outlays and the ultimate balance sheet classification of these investments once expected customer orders and the nature of the contract terms can be determined. In addition, the capital expenditure forecast includes investments in the Company’s space and satellite business secure facilities and the Company-owned space domain awareness network, capital investments related to the recent GBSD award, and investments related to the Company’s turbine and rocket system businesses.
Management will discuss the Company’s first quarter 2021 financial results, as well as its second quarter and full year 2021 guidance on a conference call beginning at
2:00 p.m. Pacific (
5:00 p.m. Eastern) today. Analysts and institutional investors may participate in the conference call by dialing (866) 393-0674, and referencing the call by ID number 5570066.

December 27, 2020, and in our other filings made with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Performance Metrics
This news release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted earnings per share (computed using income from continuing operations before income taxes, excluding income (loss) from discontinued operations, excluding income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest, excluding depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, amortization of capitalized contract and development costs, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition and restructuring related items and other, which includes but is not limited to legal related items and foreign transaction gains and losses, less the estimated impact to income taxes) and including Adjusted EBITDA (which includes net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest and excludes, among other things, losses and gains from discontinued operations, acquisition and restructuring related items, stock compensation expense, foreign transaction gains and losses, and the associated margin rates). Additional non-GAAP financial measures include Free Cash Flow from Operations computed as Cash Flow from Operations less Capital Expenditures and Adjusted EBITDA related to our KUS and KGS businesses. Kratos believes this information is useful to investors because it provides a basis for measuring the Company’s available capital resources, the actual and forecasted operating performance of the Company’s business and the Company’s cash flow, excluding non-recurring items and non-cash items that would normally be included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures along with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in evaluating the Company’s actual and forecasted operating performance, capital resources and cash flow. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and investors should carefully evaluate the Company’s financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures as reported by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies. As appropriate, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and information reconciling these non-GAAP financial measures to the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP are included in this news release.
Another Performance Metric the Company believes is a key performance indicator in our industry is our Book to
Bill Ratio as it provides investors with a measure of the amount of bookings or contract awards as compared to the amount of revenues that have been recorded during the period, and provides an indicator of how much of the Company’s backlog is being burned or utilized in a certain period. The Book to
Bill Ratio is computed as the number of bookings or contract awards in the period divided by the revenues recorded for the same period. The Company believes that the rolling or last twelve months Book to
Bill Ratio is meaningful since the timing of quarter to quarter bookings can vary.

| Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| Note: (1) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined as GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Kratos adjusted for net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest, income (loss) from discontinued operations, net interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense of intangible assets, amortization of capitalized contract and development costs, stock-based compensation, acquisition and restructuring related items and other, and foreign transaction gain (loss). |
| |
|
|
|
|
| Adjusted EBITDA as calculated by us may be calculated differently than Adjusted EBITDA for other companies. We have provided Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is a commonly used measure of financial performance in comparable companies and is provided to help investors evaluate companies on a consistent basis, as well as to enhance understanding of our operating results. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as either an alternative to net income or as an indicator of our operating performance or an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. The adjustments to calculate this non-GAAP financial measure and the basis for such adjustments are outlined below. Please refer to the following table below that reconciles GAAP net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| The adjustments to calculate this non-GAAP financial measure, and the basis for such adjustments, are outlined below: |
| |
|
|
|
|
| Interest income and interest expense, net. The Company receives interest income on investments and incurs interest expense on loans, capital leases and other financing arrangements, including the amortization of issue discounts and deferred financing costs. These amounts may vary from period to period due to changes in cash and debt balances. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| Income taxes. The Company’s tax expense can fluctuate materially from period to period due to tax adjustments that may not be directly related to underlying operating performance or to the current period of operations and may not necessarily reflect the impact of utilization of our NOLs. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| Depreciation. The Company incurs depreciation expense (recorded in cost of revenues and in operating expenses) related to capital assets purchased, leased or constructed to support the ongoing operations of the business. The assets are recorded at cost or fair value and are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of individual assets. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| Amortization of intangible assets. The Company incurs amortization of intangible expense related to acquisitions it has made. These intangible assets are valued at the time of acquisition and are amortized over the estimated useful lives. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| Amortization of capitalized contract and development costs. The Company incurs amortization of previously capitalized software development and non-recurring engineering costs related to certain targets in its Unmanned Systems and ballistic missile target businesses as these units are sold. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| Stock-based compensation expense. The Company incurs expense related to stock-based compensation included in its GAAP presentation of selling, general and administrative expense. Although stock-based compensation is an expense of the Company and viewed as a form of compensation, these expenses vary in amount from period to period, and are affected by market forces that are difficult to predict and are not within the control of management, such as the market price and volatility of the Company’s shares, risk-free interest rates and the expected term and forfeiture rates of the awards. Management believes that exclusion of these expenses allows comparison of operating results to those of other companies that disclose non-GAAP financial measures that exclude stock-based compensation. |
| |
|
|
|
|
Foreign transaction (gain) loss. The Company incurs transaction gains and losses related to transactions with foreign customers in currencies other than the
U.S. dollar. In addition, certain intercompany transactions can give rise to realized and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| Acquisition and transaction related items. The Company incurs transaction related costs, such as legal and accounting fees and other expenses, related to acquisitions and divestiture activities. Management believes these items are outside the normal operations of the Company’s business and are not indicative of ongoing operating results. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| Restructuring costs. The Company incurs restructuring costs for cost reduction actions which include employee termination costs, facility shut-down related costs and remaining lease commitment costs for excess or exited facilities. Management believes that these costs are not indicative of ongoing operating results as they are either non-recurring and/or not expected when full capacity and volumes are achieved. |

| Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company expects to continue to incur expenses similar to the Adjusted EBITDA financial adjustments described above, and investors should not infer from the Company’s presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure that these costs are unusual, infrequent, or non-recurring. |

| Unaudited Non-GAAP Measures |
| Computation of Adjusted Earnings Per Share |
| (in millions, except per share data) |
| |
|
|
|
|
Adjusted income from continuing operations and adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted common share (Adjusted EPS) are non-GAAP measures for reporting financial performance and exclude the impact of certain items and, therefore, have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that exclusion of these items assists in providing a more complete understanding of the Company’s underlying continuing operations results and trends and allows for comparability with our peer company index and industry. The Company uses these measures along with the corresponding GAAP financial measures to manage the Company’s business and to evaluate its performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace. The Company defines adjusted income from continuing operations before amortization of intangible assets, depreciation, stock-based compensation, foreign transaction gain/loss, and acquisition and restructuring related items and other. The estimated impact to income taxes includes the impact to the effective tax rate, current tax provision and deferred tax provision, and excludes the impact of discrete items, including transaction related expenses and release of valuation allowance, or benefit related to the add-backs.*
Adjusted EPS reflects adjusted income on a per share basis using weighted average diluted shares outstanding. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| The following table reconciles the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures. |

| *The impact to income taxes is calculated by recasting income before income taxes to include the add-backs involved in determining Adjusted income from continuing operations before income taxes and recalculating the income tax provision (benefit), including current and deferred income taxes, using the Adjusted income from continuing operations before income taxes. The recalculation also adjusts for any discrete tax expense, including transaction related expenses and the release of valuation allowance, or benefit related to the add-backs. |
