Fourth Quarter Results:  
Net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 were $88.0 million, down 8.1 percent versus the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. Hurricane recovery film sales were $15.8 million in the fourth quarter of last year compared to $4.1 million in the fourth quarter of this year. Excluding sales of hurricane recovery film, consolidated net sales in the fourth quarter increased $3.9 million or nearly 5 percent year-over-year.1

Operating income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 was $3.4 million versus operating income of $11.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, declining 70.6 percent year-over-year. A reduction in operating leverage as a result of the significant decline in hurricane recovery film sales, lower Aerostar profitability due to timing of contracts, and higher spending on Project Atlas primarily drove the year-over-year decrease in consolidated operating income.

Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 was $3.0 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, versus net income of $8.4 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, in last year's fourth quarter. The Company anticipated a decline in net income due to the significant reduction in hurricane recovery film sales in the fourth quarter. Included in this year's fourth quarter results on a pre-tax basis were expenses related to Project Atlas, totaling $1.2 million ($1.0 million after-tax, or $0.03 per diluted share). In the fourth quarter of last year, Project Atlas related expenses were approximately $0.6 million ($0.4 million after-tax, or $0.01 per diluted share). Aerostar recently began its implementation of Project Atlas and is expected to go live by the end of fiscal 2020. Project Atlas related expenses in fiscal 2020 are expected to be in-line with those incurred in fiscal 2019.

Fiscal Year 2019 Results:
Net sales for fiscal 2019 were $406.7 million, up 7.8 percent versus fiscal 2018. This is a new record sales year for the Company, surpassing the previous record from fiscal 2013. The current mix of sales versus fiscal 2013 is more strategic as evidenced by contract manufacturing sales consisting of less than 2 percent of total sales in fiscal 2019, down from 16 percent in fiscal 2013.

Hurricane recovery film sales were $24.2 million in fiscal 2018 compared to $14.5 million in fiscal 2019. Excluding sales of hurricane recovery film, consolidated net sales in fiscal 2019 increased $39.1 million, or 11.1 percent year-over-year.1 All divisions achieved year-over-year growth during the fiscal year, led by a 27.4 percent increase in Aerostar. Excluding the sales of hurricane recovery film, Engineered Films increased sales more than 12 percent year-over-year.2

Operating income for fiscal 2019 was $55.1 million, down 6.8 percent, versus $59.2 million in fiscal 2018. The current year operating income was reduced by an expense of $4.5 million related to a gift to South Dakota State University and an increase in Project Atlas related expenses of $3.1 million. Excluding these items, operating income increased significantly more than reported results year-over-year. Additionally, investment in research and development activities within Applied Technology and Aerostar increased, and operating leverage within Engineered Films decreased due to significantly lower hurricane recovery film sales, both of which contributed to the year-over-year decline. These factors were partially offset by lower legal expenses and favorable legal recoveries in fiscal 2019.

Net income for fiscal 2019 was $51.9 million, or $1.42 per diluted share, versus net income of $41.0 million, or $1.13 per diluted share, in fiscal 2018. Included in fiscal 2019 results on a pre-tax basis was a non-operating gain on the sale of the Company's ownership interest in SST of $5.8 million ($4.6 million after-tax, or $0.13 per diluted share); an expense associated with the previously announced gift to South Dakota State University of $4.5 million ($3.6 million after-tax, or $0.10 per diluted share); and Project Atlas related expenses of $4.0 million ($3.2 million after-tax, or $0.09 per diluted share). In fiscal 2018, Project Atlas related expenses were $0.9 million ($0.6 million after-tax, or $0.02 per diluted share). Additionally, the 10.1 percentage point reduction in the Company's effective tax rate, excluding discrete items, resulted in a tax benefit relative to the prior year of $6.2 million, or $0.17 per diluted share.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow:
At the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, cash and cash equivalents totaled $65.8 million, decreasing $2.9 million versus the prior quarter. The acquisition of AgSync during the fourth quarter principally drove the decrease in cash versus the third quarter.

Net working capital as a percentage of annualized net sales deteriorated, from 26.3 percent in the fourth quarter of last year to 28.5 percent in this year’s fourth quarter.3 This year-over-year change is heavily influenced by hurricane recovery film demand and the related impacts to inventory, accounts receivable, and net sales.

While not an asset on the balance sheet, talent is an important asset to the Company. The Company diligently works to attract, develop, retain and select talent while creating a Raven culture where talent thrives. Leadership development is leveraging that talent to build a bench of business leaders, and promotions from within the Company are an indicator of success. In fiscal 2019, approximately two-thirds of open leadership positions were filled by internal candidates, including the recent promotion of Nicole Freesemann to Vice President of Human Resources.

Return on Sales, Assets and Equity:
During fiscal 2019, the Company invested heavily across the enterprise. These investments included research and development activities, new manufacturing capacity, Project Atlas, and the acquisition of AgSync. The Company also continued to refine its focus on core operations by divesting two non-strategic assets during the year, Aerostar's client private business and SST. These actions were driven by the Company's focus on long-term value creation and to drive improved financial returns through sales and earnings growth. The following provides a summary of the Company's return on sales, return on assets and return on equity over the last 10 fiscal years:

 FY1910 Year
Average		HighLow
Return on Sales (4)12.7%10.1%13.3% - FY121.8% - FY16
Return on Assets (5)15.1%15.1%23.3% - FY121.4% - FY16
Return on Equity (6)17.7%19.1%31.4% - FY121.7% - FY16

Applied Technology Division:
Net sales for Applied Technology in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 were $29.2 million, down 4.1 percent year-over-year. Geographically, domestic and international sales were each down approximately 4 percent year-over-year. These decreases were primarily driven by a slower spraying season for ag retailers, which reduced demand.

The AgSync acquisition was completed on January 1, 2019. AgSync, headquartered in Wakarusa, Indiana, develops software solutions for ag retailers and aerial applicators to overcome challenges related to managing large fleets, multiple locations, limited personnel and disconnected software systems in their operations. Applied Technology expects to leverage this acquisition to enhance its Slingshot® platform by delivering a more seamless logistics solution for ag retailers, custom applicators and enterprise farms. This strategic expansion of the Slingshot® platform is an effort to provide further value to the end customer and grow the division's subscription-based service model.

Division operating income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 was $6.6 million, up $0.8 million or 13.1 percent versus the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. Division operating margin increased 340 basis points year-over-year, from 19.1 percent to 22.5 percent. The division continues to achieve strong profitability while continuing to invest in research and development activities to drive new product innovation. Division operating income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 included expenses related to the resolution of two legal matters.

Engineered Films Division:
Net sales for Engineered Films in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 were $49.5 million, down $6.1 million or 11.0 percent year-over-year. The decrease in net sales was expected and driven by a significant year-over-year decline in hurricane recovery film sales. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, hurricane recovery film sales were $15.8 million. Sales of hurricane recovery film in the fourth quarter of this year were $4.1 million, down $11.7 million year-over-year. Excluding the impact of sales from hurricane recovery film, the division's net sales increased 14.1 percent and volume, measured in pounds sold, increased approximately 9 percent year-over-year.2

In the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the division expects to realize another substantial decline in hurricane recovery film sales versus the prior year comparative period. In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the division realized $8.9 million in sales of hurricane recovery film due to unusually high event-driven demand, which is not expected to repeat in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The first quarter of fiscal 2019 was the only quarter in fiscal year 2019 with significant hurricane recovery film sales, and additional significant declines are not expected to reoccur as the division progresses through fiscal 2020. Market position remains strong across all end-markets served by Engineered Films, and the division recently began the commissioning process for Line 15, which will expand capacity in order to capitalize on new opportunities within the industrial and geomembrane markets.

Division operating income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 was $6.5 million, down $5.5 million or 45.8 percent versus the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. Division operating income, as a percentage of sales, decreased from 21.5 percent in the fourth quarter of last year to 13.1 percent in this year's fourth quarter. The year-over-year decrease was driven primarily by lower sales volume, including the significant reduction in hurricane recovery film sales, and the corresponding negative operating leverage.

Aerostar Division:
Net sales for Aerostar during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 were $9.4 million, down $0.4 million or 4.3 percent versus the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. This decrease was driven by the decline in sales associated with the divestiture of the division's client private business in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The divested client private business generated net sales of $1.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. Excluding the client private business, sales increased year-over-year.

The timing of stratospheric balloon contracts and increased research and development activities drove a $2.3 million decrease in profitability in the fourth quarter. Aerostar is a contract-based business, and the timing of contracts will vary. Aerostar maintains research and development activities throughout the year, and when contracts are completed, the division may endure a temporary decrease in profit until the next contract begins. Because of this variability, it is helpful to also view Aerostar's performance over a longer period of time, such as a trailing-twelve-month period.

Market Outlook:
For Applied Technology, the Company does not expect a significant ag market rebound in the next twelve to eighteen months. Corn surplus remains near an all-time high, and U.S. farm income has decreased over each of the past five years. Offsetting these general ag market challenges is the growing demand for machine replacements that have been deferred for several years, international growth initiatives, which will help diversify exposure of end market conditions, and the growing need and desire for technology adoption across the agricultural industry.

With the recent variability in oil prices, Engineered Films is monitoring the energy market but is not seeing significant signs of weakness. At this time, the Company believes that if oil prices remain in the $50 to $60 dollar per barrel range, there will not be a significant impact to energy film demand. If oil prices go below or above that range, energy film demand could be impacted. Currently, energy film sales represent approximately 20 percent of the division’s net sales, which is significantly lower than just a few years ago. Diversification has strengthened the division; this has been achieved through investment in additional manufacturing capacity, to capitalize on growth opportunities across its end markets, and the acquisition of CLI, which provides fabrication and installation services focused in the geomembrane market. Capital equipment investments over the past three years in Engineered Films have been allocated to new production lines designed to produce higher-margin specialty films for sale into our industrial market.

Fiscal 2019 Recap and Fiscal 2020 Outlook:
"We are very pleased with how all three divisions executed according to their long-term strategic plan in fiscal 2019," said Dan Rykhus, President and CEO. “The Company achieved strong financial results, including record sales in fiscal 2019, while investing for long-term growth. Each division accomplished this in ways that are unique to their specific market position and strategy.

"Despite operating in the fifth year of a lackluster ag market, Applied Technology continued its growth in sales and achieved a significant year-over-year increase in operating profit. Leveraging previous investments in research and development, the division realized significant sales growth on RS1™, its new market-leading steering platform. The acquisition of AgSync provides a proven logistics solution uniquely designed for the ag retail market. It helps strengthen the division's Slingshot® platform and focuses on serving ag retailers, which are Applied Technology's core customers. We believe the division is well-positioned to execute on its long-term strategy during fiscal 2020, leveraging this acquisition and the continual investment in research and development to provide a consistent cadence of new product innovation delivered to the market. Additionally, Applied Technology is diligently entering year two of driving international growth through its Latin American headquarters in Brazil.

"Engineered Films achieved a strong financial performance in fiscal 2019 despite the significant decline in hurricane recovery film sales. The division recently began the commissioning process for Line 15 and is looking forward to the additional capacity it brings to serve the increasing demand in the industrial and geomembrane markets. Immediately after the fiscal year ended, Engineered Films went live with Project Atlas and became operational in this new system. Looking towards fiscal 2020, we believe the division is positioned to execute and capitalize on the opportunities within each of the markets it serves.

"With a more narrowed focus on Aerostar's stratospheric balloon platform and radar systems, the division increased net sales by double digits and nearly doubled operating income year-over-year. The division is focused on winning new contracts in order to build on the tremendous performance achieved in fiscal 2019. As we have seen in the past couple of years, Aerostar is a contract-based business, and the timing of contracts can cause short-term volatility in financial performance. However, the Company is very pleased with the results and performance of Aerostar over the past two years, and we are excited about the long-term trajectory of the division.

"Our investments in technology development and manufacturing capacity along with our strong balance sheet and access to additional funding for strategic acquisitions has positioned Raven Industries for long-term success. We look forward to fiscal 2020, and our goal remains to generate annual earnings growth of 10 percent over the long-term."
