TransDigm Group Reports Fiscal 2024 Second Quarter Results

Rhea-AI Summary

TransDigm Group Incorporated reported strong second-quarter results for fiscal 2024, with notable increases in net sales, net income, earnings per share, and EBITDA As Defined. The company achieved a margin of 53.2% and revised its fiscal 2024 financial guidance upwards, reflecting continued strong performance and growth across major market channels. Additionally, TransDigm completed successful financing activities during the quarter, enhancing its financial position.

Positive

• Strong second-quarter results with significant increases in net sales, net income, earnings per share, and EBITDA As Defined.

• Improved EBITDA As Defined margin of 53.2% for the quarter, reflecting operational efficiency and strong performance.

• Revised upward fiscal 2024 financial guidance to reflect continued strong performance and growth.

• Successful completion of financing activities, including private offerings of senior secured notes and refinancing, enhancing financial flexibility.

Negative

• Higher interest expense, one-time refinancing costs, income tax expense, and non-cash stock and deferred compensation expenses partially offset the increase in net income.

• GAAP earnings per share were reduced due to dividend equivalent payments made during the year.

• Increased expenses such as interest expense and one-time refinancing costs impacting net income for the period.

Financial Analyst

TransDigm Group's Q2 fiscal 2024 report presents a robust financial profile, highlighted by a 21% increase in net sales and a 33% jump in net income year-over-year. These results reflect both the organic sales growth and a strategic operating methodology that leverages their market position in highly engineered aircraft components. The uptick in earnings per share (EPS) by 31% and the adjusted EPS by 34% surpasses typical sector performance, potentially reflecting operational efficiency and favorable market conditions. However, investors should consider the context of higher interest expenses and one-time refinancing costs which slightly offset these increases. The upward revision of TransDigm's fiscal 2024 guidance suggests confidence in sustained business momentum. The decisive actions in refinancing, particularly the replacement of higher-cost debt with lower-interest-bearing notes, manifest a strategic financial stewardship aimed to optimize the capital structure and reduce interest expenses long-term.

Debt Market Analyst

From a debt perspective, TransDigm's financial activities reveal a proactive management of their liabilities. The successful completion of new senior secured notes offerings and the refinancing of existing term loans to lower interest rates (from Term SOFR plus 3.25% to Term SOFR plus 2.75%) indicate a strategic approach to capital management. This refinancing at lower rates not only reduces future interest payments but also extends maturities, improving the company's debt profile amid market volatility. The redemption of the higher interest 7.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2027 with proceeds from the new offerings reflects a judicious leveraging strategy that investors should view positively, as it may lead to interest savings. Nonetheless, the aggregate level of debt should be monitored, as aggressive leveraging can pose risks if the market conditions deteriorate or if the company's revenue streams are disrupted.

Market Research Analyst

The aerospace sector, particularly the components market, is showing signs of post-pandemic recovery and TransDigm's significant revenue growth speaks to the company's strong positioning and market demand. TransDigm's organic sales growth outperforms industry averages, suggesting effective penetration and market share capture. Notably, the improvement in EBITDA As Defined margins to 53.2% underscores operational leverage that is commendable within the industry. Moreover, the company's outlook, anticipating growth across commercial OEM, aftermarket and defense segments, aligns with broader aerospace industry recovery trends. Investors should consider how the company's projections match with broader economic indicators and potential headwinds such as supply chain disruptions or shifts in defense spending. TransDigm's raised guidance may inspire investor confidence, yet it is important to watch for the sustainability of these margins and growth rates.

CLEVELAND, May 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- TransDigm Group Incorporated (NYSE: TDG), a leading global designer, producer and supplier of highly engineered aircraft components, today reported results for the second quarter ended March 30, 2024.

Second quarter highlights include:

• Net sales of $1,919 million, up 21% from $1,592 million in the prior year's quarter;
• Net income of $404 million, up 33% from the prior year's quarter;
• Earnings per share of $6.97, up 31% from the prior year's quarter;
• EBITDA As Defined of $1,021 million, up 25% from $817 million in the prior year's quarter;
• EBITDA As Defined margin of 53.2%;
• Adjusted earnings per share of $7.99, up 34% from $5.98 in the prior year's quarter; and
• Upward revision to fiscal 2024 financial guidance to reflect TransDigm's continued strong performance.

Quarter-to-Date Results

Net sales for the quarter increased 20.5%, or $327 million, to $1,919 million from $1,592 million in the comparable quarter a year ago. Organic sales growth as a percentage of net sales was 16.1%.

Net income for the quarter increased $100 million, or 32.9%, to $404 million from $304 million in the comparable quarter a year ago. The increase in net income primarily reflects the increase in net sales described above and the application of our value-driven operating strategy. The increase was partially offset by higher interest expense, one-time refinancing costs, income tax expense, and higher non-cash stock and deferred compensation expense.

Adjusted net income for the quarter increased 35.5% to $462 million, or $7.99 per share, from $341 million, or $5.98 per share, in the comparable quarter a year ago.

EBITDA for the quarter increased 21.4% to $919 million from $757 million for the comparable quarter a year ago. EBITDA As Defined for the quarter increased 25.0% to $1,021 million compared with $817 million in the comparable quarter a year ago. EBITDA As Defined as a percentage of net sales for the quarter was 53.2% compared with 51.3% in the comparable quarter a year ago.

"I am very pleased with the operating results for the second quarter. We continued to see strong performance as we closed out the first half of our fiscal year," stated Kevin Stein, TransDigm Group's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Total revenue for the quarter exceeded our expectations and we had a robust EBITDA as Defined margin. Revenues sequentially improved in all three of our major market channels - commercial OEM, commercial aftermarket and defense. Our EBITDA As Defined margin improved to 53.2% for the quarter, up almost 200 basis points from the comparable prior year period. We remain deeply committed to our operating strategy with dedicated efforts across our teams to consistently focus on our value drivers and management of our cost structure. We look forward to the second half of our fiscal 2024 and the opportunity to continue driving value for our shareholders."

Financing Activities

During the quarter, on February 27, 2024, TransDigm successfully completed a private offering of two new senior secured notes for a total of $4,400 million, consisting of $2,200 million of 6.375% Senior Secured Notes due March 1, 2029 ("2029 Secured Notes") and $2,200 million of 6.625% Senior Secured Notes due March 1, 2032 ("2032 Secured Notes"). TransDigm used the net proceeds of the offerings of the 2029 Secured Notes and 2032 Secured Notes, plus cash on hand, to redeem all of its $4,400 million outstanding 6.250% Senior Secured Notes due 2026.

On March 22, 2024, TransDigm successfully repriced the existing approximately $4,525 million Tranche I term loans maturing August 24, 2028, to bear interest at Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 2.75% compared to Term SOFR plus 3.25% applicable prior to the repricing. Additionally, TransDigm completed a refinancing and repaid in full the approximately $1,708 million in Tranche H term loans maturing February 22, 2027 and replaced such loans with approximately $1,708 million in Tranche K term loans maturing March 22, 2030. The applicable interest rate for the Tranche K term loans is Term SOFR plus 2.75% compared to Term SOFR plus 3.25% applicable prior to the refinancing.

Additionally on March 22, 2024, TransDigm successfully completed a private offering of $550 million of 6.375% Senior Secured Notes due March 1, 2029. These notes were an additional issuance of the previously issued $2,200 million 6.375% Senior Secured Notes described above. TransDigm used the net proceeds from the offering, plus cash on hand, to redeem all of its $550 million of outstanding 7.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2027 ("2027 Subordinated Notes"). On March 22, 2024, TransDigm announced the cash tender offer for all of its outstanding 2027 Subordinated Notes.

Subsequent to the quarter, on April 22, 2024, TransDigm completed the redemption of the $550 million of outstanding 2027 Subordinated Notes.

Year-to-Date Results

Net sales for the twenty-six week period ended March 30, 2024 increased 24.1%, or $719 million, to $3,708 million from $2,989 million in the comparable period a year ago. Organic sales growth as a percentage of net sales for the twenty-six week period ended March 30, 2024 was 19.6%.

Net income for the twenty-six week period ended March 30, 2024 increased $253 million, or 47.5%, to $786 million from $533 million in the comparable period a year ago. The increase in net income primarily reflects the increase in net sales described above and the application of our value-driven operating strategy. The increase was partially offset by higher income tax expense, interest expense, one-time refinancing costs, and higher non-cash stock and deferred compensation expense.

GAAP earnings per share were reduced in fiscal 2024 and 2023 by $1.75 per share and $0.67 per share, respectively, as a result of dividend equivalent payments made during each year. As a reminder, GAAP earnings per share are reduced when TransDigm makes dividend equivalent payments pursuant to its stock option plans. These dividend equivalent payments are made during TransDigm's first fiscal quarter each year and also upon payment of any special dividends.

Adjusted net income for the twenty-six week period ended March 30, 2024 increased 45.3% to $875 million, or $15.15 per share, from $602 million, or $10.55 per share, in the comparable period a year ago.

EBITDA for the twenty-six week period ended March 30, 2024 increased 26.3% to $1,777 million from $1,407 million for the comparable period a year ago. EBITDA As Defined for the period increased 27.5% to $1,933 million compared with $1,516 million in the comparable period a year ago. EBITDA As Defined as a percentage of net sales for the period was 52.1% compared with 50.7% in the comparable period a year ago.

Please see the attached tables for a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA, EBITDA As Defined, and adjusted net income; a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to EBITDA and EBITDA As Defined; and a reconciliation of earnings per share to adjusted earnings per share for the periods discussed in this press release.

Fiscal 2024 Outlook

Mr. Stein stated, "We are raising our full year guidance primarily to reflect our strong second quarter results and current expectations for the remainder of the fiscal year. We are pleased to once again raise our net sales and EBITDA As Defined guidance for fiscal 2024 and to see further progression in our primary end markets. Additionally, in light of the strong EBITDA As Defined margin in the first half of our fiscal 2024, we are raising the mid-point of our full year EBITDA As Defined margin guidance to 52.3%." This guidance excludes any EBITDA As Defined contribution from the pending acquisition of CPI's Electron Device Business.

TransDigm now expects fiscal 2024 financial guidance to be as follows:

• Net sales are anticipated to be in the range of $7,680 million to $7,800 million compared with $6,585 million in fiscal 2023, an increase of 17.5% at the midpoint (an increase of $75 million at the midpoint from prior guidance);
  
  
• Net income is anticipated to be in the range of $1,608 million to $1,686 million compared with $1,299 million in fiscal 2023, an increase of 26.8% at the midpoint (an increase of $36 million at the midpoint from prior guidance);
  
  
• Earnings per share is expected to be in the range of $26.06 to $27.40 per share based upon weighted average shares outstanding of 57.85 million shares, compared with $22.03 per share in fiscal 2023, which is an increase of 21.3% at the midpoint (an increase of $0.60 per share at the midpoint from prior guidance);
  
  
• EBITDA As Defined is anticipated to be in the range of $3,995 million to $4,095 million compared with $3,395 million in fiscal 2023, an increase of 19.1% at the midpoint (an increase of $60 million at the midpoint from prior guidance and corresponding to an EBITDA As Defined margin guide of approximately 52.3% for fiscal 2024);
  
  
• Adjusted earnings per share is expected to be in the range of $31.75 to $33.09 per share compared with $25.84 per share in fiscal 2023, an increase of 25.5% at the midpoint (an increase of $1.57 per share at the midpoint from prior guidance); and
  
  
• Fiscal 2024 outlook is based on the following market growth assumptions:
  • Commercial OEM revenue growth around 20%;
  • Commercial aftermarket revenue growth in the mid-teens percentage range; and
  • Defense revenue growth in the mid-teens percentage range.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Information

EBITDA, EBITDA As Defined, EBITDA As Defined margin, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release as supplemental disclosures to net income and reported results. TransDigm Group defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and defines EBITDA As Defined as EBITDA plus certain non-operating items recorded as corporate expenses, including non-cash compensation charges incurred in connection with TransDigm Group's stock incentive or deferred compensation plans, foreign currency gains and losses, acquisition-integration costs, acquisition and divestiture transaction-related expenses, and refinancing costs.  Acquisition and divestiture-related costs represent accounting adjustments to inventory associated with acquisitions of businesses and product lines that were charged to cost of sales when the inventory was sold; costs incurred to integrate acquired businesses and product lines into the Company's operations, facility relocation costs and other acquisition-related costs; transaction-related costs for both acquisitions and divestitures comprising deal fees; legal, financial and tax diligence expenses and valuation costs that are required to be expensed as incurred and other acquisition accounting adjustments. TransDigm Group defines adjusted net income as net income plus purchase accounting backlog amortization expense, effects from the sale on businesses, non-cash compensation charges incurred in connection with TransDigm Group's stock incentive or deferred compensation plans, foreign currency gains and losses, acquisition-integration costs, acquisition and divestiture transaction-related expenses, and refinancing costs. EBITDA As Defined margin represents EBITDA As Defined as a percentage of net sales. TransDigm Group defines adjusted diluted earnings per share as adjusted net income divided by the total outstanding shares for basic and diluted earnings per share. For more information regarding the computation of EBITDA, EBITDA As Defined, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share, please see the attached financial tables.

TransDigm Group presents these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that they are useful indicators of its operating performance. TransDigm Group believes that EBITDA is useful to investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to measure operating performance among companies with different capital structures, effective tax rates and tax attributes, capitalized asset values and employee compensation structures, all of which can vary substantially from company to company. In addition, analysts, rating agencies and others use EBITDA to evaluate a company's ability to incur and service debt. EBITDA As Defined is used to measure TransDigm Inc.'s compliance with the financial covenant contained in its credit facility. TransDigm Group's management also uses EBITDA As Defined to review and assess its operating performance, to prepare its annual budget and financial projections and to review and evaluate its management team in connection with employee incentive programs. Moreover, TransDigm Group's management uses EBITDA As Defined to evaluate acquisitions and as a liquidity measure. In addition, TransDigm Group's management uses adjusted net income as a measure of comparable operating performance between time periods and among companies as it is reflective of changes in pricing decisions, cost controls and other factors that affect operating performance.

None of EBITDA, EBITDA As Defined, EBITDA As Defined margin, adjusted net income or adjusted earnings per share is a measurement of financial performance under U.S. GAAP and such financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, earnings per share, cash flows from operating activities or other measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, TransDigm Group's calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Although we use EBITDA and EBITDA As Defined as measures to assess the performance of our business and for the other purposes set forth above, the use of these non-GAAP financial measures as analytical tools has limitations, and you should not consider any of them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations as reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

• neither EBITDA nor EBITDA As Defined reflects the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements, necessary to service interest payments on our indebtedness;

• although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and neither EBITDA nor EBITDA As Defined reflects any cash requirements for such replacements;

• the omission of the substantial amortization expense associated with our intangible assets further limits the usefulness of EBITDA and EBITDA As Defined;

• neither EBITDA nor EBITDA As Defined includes the payment of taxes, which is a necessary element of our operations; and

• EBITDA As Defined excludes the cash expense we have incurred to integrate acquired businesses into our operations, which is a necessary element of certain of our acquisitions.

(1)		For the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, the Tax adjustment represents the tax effect of the adjustments at the applicable effective tax rate, as well as the impact on the effective tax rate when excluding the excess tax benefits on stock option exercises. Stock compensation expense is excluded from adjusted net income and therefore we have excluded the impact that the excess tax benefits on stock option exercises have on the effective tax rate for determining adjusted net income.
