TAT Technologies Reports First Quarter 2018 Results
 
GEDERA, Israel, May 30, 2018 - TAT Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: TATT - News) (“TAT” or the “Company”), a leading provider of products and services to the commercial and military aerospace and ground defense industries, reported today its unaudited results for the three month period ended March 31, 2018.

Financial highlights for the first quarter of 2018 (unaudited):
 
·
Revenues for the three-month period that ended on March 31, 2018 were $24.4 million compared with $27.1 million in the three-month period that ended on March 31, 2017.

·
Adjusted EBITDA for the three-month period that ended on March 31, 2018 decreased to $0.4 million compared with $2.9 million in the three-month period that ended on March 31, 2017.

·
GAAP net loss of $0.7 million, or $0.08 per diluted share in the three-month period that ended on March 31, 2018 compared with a net income of $1.2 million, or $0.14 per diluted share in the three-month period that ended on March 31, 2017.

·
Non-GAAP net loss of $0.7 million, or $0.08 per diluted share in the three-month period that ended on March 31, 2018, compared with non-GAAP net income of $1.3 million, or $0.14 per diluted share in the three-month period that ended on March 31, 2017.
 
Mr. Igal Zamir, TAT’s CEO and President commented on the results: “The first quarter results were affected by several measures that the company took in preparation for potential new business opportunities which are aligned with the company’s long term strategy. In order to support the long term strategy, the company has been investing in building strong leadership, production capabilities and sales and marketing infrastructure. In addition, several purchase orders that the company expected to receive in the first quarter were delayed and we now expect them to materialize throughout the remainder of 2018. We expect revenues in 2018 to be similar to those of 2017.”

Mr. Zamir added: “We continue to foster TAT as a global leader in OEM and MRO heat transfer solutions and power and actuation solutions for the aerospace industry. In recent years, TAT has been investing in operation, sales and marketing and management to support and execute its long-term strategy.”
 
Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company also presents a Non-GAAP presentation of Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA.  The adjustments to the Company’s GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of the Company’s underlying operational results, trends and performance.  Non-GAAP Net Income excludes changes, income or losses, as applicable, related to one or more of the following: (1) share-based compensation expenses and/or (2) certain tax impact and/or (3) share in results of equity investment of affiliated companies. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income excluding the impact of: the Company's share in results of affiliated companies, share-based compensation, taxes on income, financial (expenses) income, net, and depreciation and amortization.  Non-GAAP Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA, however, should not be considered as alternatives to net income and operating income for the period and may not be indicative of the historic operating results of the Company; nor they are meant to be predictive of potential future results.  Non-GAAP Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies. See reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Non-GAAP Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA in pages 9 and 13 below.

Note to the financial statements

As of January 1, 2018, the company has adopted the new standard for recognizing Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

In May 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." ASU 2014-09 supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognize revenue upon the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. Other major provisions include capitalization of certain contract costs, consideration of the time value of money in the transaction price, and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances.

The guidance is effective for the interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017 (early adoption is permitted in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016). The guidance permits the use of either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company applied the new standard on its effective date (January 1, 2018) to uncompleted contracts as of that date.

 The company has adopted the following exemptions and accounting policies:
 
1.
The Company has chosen to account for shipping as a fulfillment costs, in cases in which the shipping occurs after the customer has obtained control of a good.
 
2.
The Company has chosen not to adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component, in cases in which the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a promised good or service to the customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.
 
3.
The Company has chosen to present all sales taxes collected from customers on a net basis.

The new standard has no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
