Provides Outlook for Fiscal 2019
VALENCIA, Calif., Nov. 15, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Wesco Aircraft Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: WAIR), the world’s leading independent distributor and provider of comprehensive supply chain management services to the global aerospace industry, today announced results for its fiscal 2018 fourth quarter ended September 30, 2018.
Fiscal 2018 Fourth Quarter Highlights
- Net sales of $406.8 million, up 12.5 percent
- Net income of $7.3 million, or $0.07 per diluted share
- Adjusted net income(1) of $18.2 million, or $0.18 per diluted share
- Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization(1) (EBITDA) of $36.7 million, or 9.0 percent of net sales
Todd Renehan, chief executive officer, commented, “Net sales in the fourth quarter increased at a robust pace, reflecting continued positive aerospace market conditions and greater demand for supply chain services. At the same time, we maintained control over ongoing operating expenses as we proceeded deeper into Wesco 2020 execution. We also significantly reduced our inventory investment in the fourth quarter compared to last year, which helped drive positive cash flow from operations in the quarter and fiscal year.
“The stronger operational and financial performance we achieved in fiscal 2018 established a baseline that we intend to sustain and improve upon in fiscal 2019 while making more foundational changes to the business through our Wesco 2020 initiatives. As previously disclosed, we expect Wesco 2020 to generate significant run-rate benefits, with realization in fiscal 2019 to be partially offset by implementation costs. We anticipate full realization of Wesco 2020 benefits to be achieved in fiscal 2020.”
Fiscal 2018 Fourth Quarter Results
Net sales of $406.8 million in the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter were $45.3 million, or 12.5 percent, higher than the same period last year, reflecting an increase in long-term contracts, growth in ad-hoc sales and one-time sales of approximately $6 million associated with contract claims. The increase in long-term contracts was primarily due to higher chemical and hardware volume with new and existing customers, while ad-hoc growth reflected increased ordering by several key customers.
Gross profit was $98.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, compared with $87.5 million in the fiscal 2017 fourth quarter. The increase in gross profit compared to the same period last year was primarily due to higher sales volume.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses totaled $76.4 million in the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter, compared with $67.5 million in the same period last year. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to costs associated with the company’s Wesco 2020 initiatives, including consulting fees of approximately $5 million and retention-focused compensation expenses of approximately $2 million. SG&A expenses were 18.8 percent of net sales in the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter, compared with 18.7 percent in the same period last year.
Income from operations totaled $22.4 million, or 5.5 percent of net sales, in the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter. This compares with income from operations of $20.0 million, or 5.5 percent of net sales, in the same period last year. The increase in income from operations reflects higher gross profit, partially offset by an increase in SG&A expenses.
Net income was $7.3 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter. This compares with a net loss of $38.3 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, in the same period last year. The net loss in last year’s fourth quarter primarily reflects a previously disclosed non-cash income tax charge of $37.5 million on accumulated foreign earnings. Adjusted net income(1) in the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter was $18.2 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared with $8.4 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, in the same period last year.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) in the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter was $36.7 million, compared with $30.4 million in the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA margin(1) was 9.0 percent, compared with 8.4 percent in the same period last year.
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $36.9 million in the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter, an improvement of $31.0 million compared with $5.9 million in the same period last year. Free cash flow(1) was $35.3 million in the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter, compared with $3.8 million in the same period last year, an improvement of $31.5 million. Improvements in net cash provided by operating activities and free cash flow were primarily due to a decline in inventory investment and an increase in net income.
Fiscal 2018 Results
Net sales were $1,570.5 million in fiscal 2018, an increase of 9.9 percent compared with fiscal 2017, primarily due to higher long-term contracts and ad-hoc sales, as well as one-time sales of approximately $17 million associated with contract claims.
Income from operations totaled $109.5 million, or 7.0 percent of net sales, in fiscal 2018. This compares with a loss from operations of $208.8 million in fiscal 2017. The increase in income from operations primarily reflects higher gross profit and a previously disclosed $311.1 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge recorded in fiscal 2017, partially offset by an increase in SG&A expenses.
Net income was $32.7 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, in fiscal 2018, compared with a net loss of $237.3 million, or $2.40 per diluted share, in fiscal 2017. Adjusted net income(1) was $75.0 million, or $0.75 per diluted share in fiscal 2018, compared with $57.9 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, in fiscal 2017.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) in fiscal 2018 was $161.2 million, or 10.3 percent of net sales, compared with $136.6 million, or 9.6 percent of net sales, in fiscal 2017.
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $17.9 million in fiscal 2018, an improvement of $44.8 million compared with net cash used in operating activities of $26.9 million in fiscal 2017. Free cash flow(1) was $12.2 million in fiscal 2018, an improvement of $48.1 million compared with negative free cash flow(1) of $35.9 million in fiscal 2017. Improvements in net cash provided by operating activities and free cash flow were primarily due to an increase in net income and a decline in inventory investment.
Fiscal 2019 Outlook
The company expects net sales in fiscal 2019 to increase at a mid-single-digit percentage rate compared to fiscal 2018, primarily due to new business, volume increases on existing contracts and growth in ad-hoc sales. Higher sales volume, Wesco 2020 benefits and expense leverage are expected to drive a high-single-digit percentage increase in adjusted EBITDA .

Non-GAAP Financial Information
Adjusted net income represents net income (loss) before: (i) amortization of intangible assets, (ii) amortization or write-off of deferred issuance costs, (iii) special items and (iv) the tax effect of items (i) through (iii) above calculated using an estimated effective tax rate.

Wesco Aircraft utilizes and discusses adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and free cash flow, which are non-GAAP measures management uses to evaluate the company’s business, because it believes these measures assist investors and analysts in comparing the company’s performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that management does not believe are indicative of the company’s core operating performance. Wesco Aircraft believes these metrics are used in the financial community, and the company presents these metrics to enhance understanding of its operating performance. Readers should not consider adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income as alternatives to net income (loss), determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indicator of operating performance. Adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and free cash flow are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP, and these metrics may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. See the tables following this press release for reconciliations of adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and free cash flow to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
