New All Time Highs for Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA in 2023 of $757 Million and $102 Million, Respectively
SANTA ANA, Calif., Feb. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ducommun Incorporated (NYSE: DCO) (“Ducommun” or the “Company”) today reported results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2023.
Fourth Quarter 2023 Recap
- Revenue of $192.2 million
- GAAP net income of $5.1 million, or $0.34 per diluted share
- Adjusted net income for the quarter of $10.4 million, or $0.70 per diluted share
- Cash flow from operating activities of $26.5 million
“I am very happy to report that the Company reached an all time revenue record in 2023 with the previous high-level mark set in 2012. Q4 numbers were also very good as we continue the top-line growth story for Ducommun, led once again by a strong commercial aerospace market recovery,” said Stephen G. Oswald, chairman, president and chief executive officer. “Quarterly revenue exceeded $190 million for the second consecutive quarter and increased to approximately $192 million, driving record full year revenue of $757 million. Gross margins for the quarter grew 120 bps year-over-year to 21.7% and 130 bps for the full year to 21.6%, as we began realizing some of the benefits from our strategic pricing initiatives and productivity improvements including revenue per employee increasing 16% for the full year 2023 compared to 2022.
“Ducommun also ended the year with a solid backlog* of approximately $994 million, with military and space backlog being a bright spot, up $70 million to $527 million from 2022. Looking ahead to 2024, the record order bookings and the anticipated growth in production rates at both Boeing and Airbus should provide continued tailwind to our commercial aerospace business. The significant growth in backlog in our military and space business and our continued success with off-loading initiatives should be a catalyst for growth in our defense business. The Company had a record year in 2023 and 2024 is shaping up to be another strong year as Ducommun also celebrates its 175th continuous year in business since being founded in 1849.”
Fourth Quarter Results
Net revenue for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $192.2 million, compared to $188.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The 2.1% increase year-over-year was primarily due to the following:
- $12.1 million higher revenue within the Company’s commercial aerospace end-use markets due to higher build rates on large aircraft platforms and rotary-wing aircraft platforms, partially offset by lower build rates on other commercial aerospace platforms; partially offset by
- $5.6 million lower revenue within the Company’s military and space end-use markets due to lower build rates on various missile platforms and military fixed-wing aircraft platforms, partially offset by higher build rates on military rotary-wing aircraft platforms and other military and space platforms.
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $5.1 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, compared to $8.1 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease in net income year-over-year was primarily due to higher selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses of $5.0 million, lower other income, net of $2.1 million, and higher interest expense of $1.9 million, partially offset by higher gross profit of $3.1 million, and lower income tax expense of $1.8 million. The higher SG&A expenses were due to BLR Aerospace L.L.C. (“BLR”) expenses of $4.7 million (96% of the total increase in SG&A expenses) which did not exist in the prior year period as the acquisition of BLR was completed during Q2 2023. Adjusted net income was $10.4 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $10.6 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2022.
Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $41.7 million, or 21.7% of revenue, compared to gross profit of $38.6 million, or 20.5% of revenue, for the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase in gross margin percentage year-over-year was primarily due to favorable product mix and favorable manufacturing volume, partially offset by higher other manufacturing costs.
Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $8.9 million, or 4.6% of revenue, compared to $9.7 million, or 5.1% of revenue, in the comparable period last year. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to higher SG&A expenses, partially offset by higher gross profit, both of which were noted above. Adjusted operating income for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $15.9 million, or 8.3% of revenue, compared to $15.2 million, or 8.1% of revenue, in the comparable period last year.
Interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $5.4 million compared to $3.5 million in the comparable period of 2022. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to higher interest rates and a higher outstanding debt balance.
Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $23.0 million, or 12.0% of revenue, compared to $24.5 million, or 13.0% of revenue, for the comparable period in 2022. The Adjusted EBITDA was impacted by the loss of manufacturing volume and inefficiencies at our Monrovia, California and Berryville, Arkansas performance centers as we wind down their operations.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, the net cash provided by operations was $26.5 million compared to $32.1 million during the fourth quarter of 2022. The lower net cash provided by operations year-over-year was primarily due to lower accounts payable, lower accrued and other liabilities mainly due to tax payments made, and lower net income, partially offset by lower inventories and lower contract assets.
* The Company defines backlog as potential revenue and is based on customer placed purchase orders and long-term agreements (“LTAs”) with firm fixed price and expected delivery dates of 24 months or less. Backlog as of December 31, 2023 was $993.6 million compared to $960.8 million as of December 31, 2022. Under ASC 606, the Company defines performance obligations as customer placed purchase orders with firm fixed price and firm delivery dates. The remaining performance obligations under ASC 606 as of December 31, 2023 were $963.5 million compared to $853.0 million as of December 31, 2022.
Business Segment Information
Electronic Systems
Electronic Systems reported net revenue for the current quarter of $106.7 million, compared to $120.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to the following:

Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information
This release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA (which excludes interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, Guaymas fire related expenses, other fire related expenses, insurance recoveries related to loss on operating assets, insurance recoveries related to business interruption, inventory purchase accounting adjustments, loss on extinguishment of debt, and other debt refinancing costs), non-GAAP operating income and as a percentage of net revenues, non-GAAP earnings, non-GAAP earnings per share, and backlog. In addition, certain other prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year’s presentation.
The Company believes the presentation of these non-GAAP measures provide important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations. 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. The non-GAAP financial information presented herein should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company discloses different non-GAAP financial measures in order to provide greater transparency and to help the Company’s investors to more meaningfully evaluate and compare Ducommun’s results to its previously reported results. The non-GAAP financial measures that the Company uses may not be comparable to similarly titled financial measures used by other companies.
We define backlog as potential revenue and is based on customer placed purchase orders and long-term agreements (“LTAs”) with firm fixed price and expected delivery dates of 24 months or less. The majority of the LTAs do not meet the definition of a contract under ASC 606 and thus, the backlog amount disclosed herein is greater than the remaining performance obligations disclosed under ASC 606. Backlog is subject to delivery delays or program cancellations, which are beyond our control. Backlog is affected by timing differences in the placement of customer orders and tends to be concentrated in several programs to a greater extent than our net revenues. Backlog in industrial markets tends to be of a shorter duration and is generally fulfilled within a three month period. As a result of these factors, trends in our overall level of backlog may not be indicative of trends in our future net revenues.
