Item 1.01                                                 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On July 27, 2005, the Company amended and restated its existing credit agreement (as amended and restated, the “Credit Facility”) with its lenders to reduce the Credit Facility to $250 million from $265 million, extend the maturity date to July 27, 2010 and amend certain other terms and covenants.  The Credit Facility bears interest at either (i) LIBOR plus between 0.75% and 1.75% or (ii) the prime rate (or the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5% if greater) plus between 0.00% and 0.25% or (iii) an overnight rate at the option of the company.  The applicable interest rate is based upon the Company’s ratio of total indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.  In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of between 0.175% and 0.375% on the unused portion of the Credit Facility.  The Company may allocate up to $30 million of the available Credit Facility for the issuance of letters of credit.  The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiaries.   This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Facility, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

On July 27, 2005, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Note Purchase Agreement dated as of November 21, 2002.  The amendment reaffirms the Company’s covenants under the Note Purchase Agreement.  This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to Amendment No. 4 to Note Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Item 2.02                                                 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

On July 29, 2005, the Company issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005 and conducted a conference call to further discuss the financial results.  The full text of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report.

 

On the conference call, in addition to reviewing the information contained in the press release, the executive officers also discussed the following financial information:

 

                                          For the Aerospace Systems segment, EBITDA was $21.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, with a 16.2% EBITDA margin.  (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measure Disclosure Schedule.”)

 

                                          For the Aftermarket Services segment, EBITDA was $3.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, with a 8.4% EBITDA margin.  (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measure Disclosure Schedule.”)

 

                                          For the quarter ended June 30, 2005, sales mix was as follows: commercial was 46% (compared to 44% in the prior full fiscal year), military was 32% (compared to 34% in the prior full fiscal year), regional jets were 6% (compared to 6% in the prior full fiscal year), business jets were 9% (compared to 8% in the prior full fiscal year) and other was 7% (compared to 8% in the prior full fiscal year).

                                          Backlog at June 30, 2005 was $682 million, up from $598 million at March 31, 2005.  The top ten programs represented in the backlog were the 737NG, 777, A320, CH47, V22, 747, C17, F18, E2C and 767 programs, respectively.

 

                                          Boeing commercial, military and space accounted for 23% of net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 and is the only customer that accounts for more than 10% of revenue.  Airbus accounted for 6% of revenue in the quarter ended June 30, 2005, up from 4% last year.

 

                                          Net debt at June 30, 2005 was $163 million and net debt to capital was 23% for the quarter.

 

                                          The effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 was 32%, which is the anticipated tax rate for the year.

 

                                          Capital expenditures for the year are anticipated to be between $25 million and $30 million.

 

                                          The Company reiterated guidance that the year’s earnings would be closer to the top end of the range of $1.75 to $2.00 per share.  Also earnings should sequentially improve throughout the remaining quarters.
