TAT Technologies Reports Full Year 2023 Results

Netanya, Israel, March 6, 2024 - 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 audited results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023.

Key Financial Highlights:

•
Total revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, were $113.8 million compared to $84.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, an increase of 35%.

•
Gross profit for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, were $22.5 million (19.7% of revenues) compared to $15.9 million (18.8% of revenues) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, an increase of 41%.

•
Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, was $11.2 million compared to $4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, an increase of 176%.

•
GAAP net profit from continued operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, was $4.7 million ($0.51 per share on a fully diluted basis) compared to GAAP net loss from continued operations of $1.6 million (net profit of $0.1 million without a onetime impact of our restructuring plan) ($0.175 loss per share on a fully diluted basis) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022.

•
Net debt as of December 31, 2023, was $10.3 million compared to net debt of $19.4 million as of December 31, 2022.

•
In December 2023 the Company raised $10.1 million (net from all related expenses) in a private placement sale to Israelis institutional investors.

Mr. Igal Zamir, CEO and President of TAT Technologies stated "We are very pleased to present the results of 2023. Since Q4 of 2022 we are in constant growth mode. This as a result of the increasing demand to our products and services as well as our new line of services and operation ramp up. The demand continues to grow while our industry is ramping up from the COVID crisis. During 2023 we managed to improve our margins leading to a record year in all relevant aspects of revenue, gross margin and EBITDA. We saw our backlog increase to a record number of over $400 million. We are pleased to see that the strategic shift the Company made over the last 3 years is starting to bear fruit, enabling the Company to compete and win large strategic deals and enjoy improved margin. We ended 2023 with positive operational cash flow despite the revenue increase and the need for working capital to support the growth. The industry supply chain challenges force us to hold much more inventory than what we used to pre COVID".
Mr Zamir continue: "We remain optimistic for 2024 as we see our increase in backlog and its coverage for the year, new contracts that we believe will yield additional revenue, and the large potential from the new APU MRO capabilities. Various operational initiatives keep us optimistic that our margins will continue to improve."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company also presents a Non-GAAP presentation of 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. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income before the Company's share in results and sale of equity investment of affiliated companies, share-based compensation, taxes on income, financial (expenses) income, net, depreciation and amortization, inventory impairment from exit and dismissal activity and customers relationship write off. Non-GAAP 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 Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure 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 Adjusted EBITDA below.
