AeroVironment, Inc. Announces Fiscal 2018 Third Quarter Results

 

MONROVIA, Calif., March 6, 2018 — AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVAV) today reported financial results for its third quarter ended January  27, 2018.

 

“The AeroVironment team continued to execute our fiscal 2018 plan effectively, increasing third quarter revenue by 20 percent year-over-year and generating funded backlog of $123.5 million, which gives us full visibility to the midpoint of our annual revenue guidance range of $290 million.  The Tax Relief and Jobs Act of 2017 reduced our federal income tax rate and the value of deferred tax credits, resulting in an estimated $0.13 reduction in third quarter earnings per share to a loss of $0.04,” said Wahid Nawabi, AeroVironment chief executive officer.  “In the third quarter we entered into a $100 million joint venture with SoftBank Corp. to launch our global, stratospheric broadband communication business.  Our joint venture has signed a $65 million contract with AeroVironment to demonstrate the next generation solar High-Altitude Pseudo-Satellite, or HAPS.  Our core unmanned aircraft systems business secured its largest-ever international contract, valued at $44.5 million, reflecting continued strong international demand for our market-leading small UAS family of systems.  We remain committed to delivering transformational innovations to our customers and creating significant value for our stockholders.“

 

 

FISCAL 2018 THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

 

Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 was $63.9 million, an increase of 20%  from third quarter fiscal 2017 revenue of $53.2 million. The increase in revenue resulted from an increase in sales in our Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) segment of $11.5 million, partially offset by a decrease in sales in our Efficient Energy Systems (EES) segment of $0.8 million.

 

Gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 was $20.6 million, an increase of 6%  from third quarter fiscal 2017 gross margin of $19.4 million. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to an increase in product margin of $4.2 million, partially offset by a decrease in service margin of $3.0 million. As a percentage of revenue, gross margin decreased to 32% from 36%. The decrease in gross margin percentage was primarily due to a decrease in service gross margin resulting from a  lower service margin on a UAS program due to unfavorable cost adjustments and an unfavorable sales mix.

 

Loss from operations for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 was $0.2 million, a decrease from third quarter fiscal 2017 loss from operations of $1.4 million. The decrease in the loss from operations was primarily a result of an increase in gross margin of $1.2 million and a decrease in research and development (R&D) expense of $0.7 million, partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense of $0.7 million.

 

Other income, net, for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 was $0.4 million compared to other income, net of $0.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2017. 

 

Provision for income taxes for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 was $0.6 million compared to a  provision for income taxes of $1.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2017.  The provision for income taxes for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 included the impact of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017,  inclusive of a reduction in the blended fiscal year 2018 federal statutory tax rate from 35% to 30.4% and an estimated $3.1 million one-time expense resulting from the remeasurement of our deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Equity method investment activity, net of tax, for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 was a loss of $0.4 million compared to equity method investment activity, net of tax loss of $8,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2017. The increase was due to the equity method loss associated with our investment in HAPSMobile, Inc. joint venture formed in December 2017.

 

Net loss attributable to AeroVironment for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 was  $0.8 million, a decrease from third quarter fiscal 2017 net loss of $2.2 million.

 

Loss per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 was  $0.04 compared to loss per share for the third quarter fiscal 2017 of $0.09.

 

FISCAL 2018 YEAR-TO-DATE RESULTS

 

Revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2018 was $181.5 million, an increase of 30%  from the first nine months’ fiscal 2017 revenue of $139.5 million. The increase in revenue resulted from an increase in sales in our UAS segment of $40.5 million and an increase in our EES segment of $1.6 million.

 

Gross margin for the first nine months of fiscal 2018 was $63.2 million, an increase of 46% from the first nine months’ fiscal 2017 gross margin of $43.5 million. The increase in gross margin was due to an increase in product margin of $23.3 million, partially offset by a decrease in service margin of $3.5 million. As a percentage of revenue, gross margin increased to 35% from 31%. The increase in gross margin percentage was primarily due to an increase in revenue and an increase in the proportion of product sales to total revenue.

 

Income from operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2018 was $0.9 million, an increase from the first nine months’ of fiscal 2017 loss from operations of $21.5 million. The increase in income from operations was the result of an increase in gross margin of $19.8 million and a decrease in R&D expense of $4.1 million, partially offset by an increase in SG&A expense of $1.5 million. During the second quarter of fiscal 2018, we recorded impairment charges totaling $1.0 million to the identifiable intangible assets and goodwill of Altoy, our Turkish majority-owned subsidiary.

 

Other income, net, for the first nine months of fiscal 2018 was $1.3  million compared to other income, net, for the first nine months of fiscal 2017 of $0.8 million.

 

Provision for income taxes for the first nine months of fiscal 2018 was $0.3 million compared to a benefit for income taxes of $2.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2017.  The provision for income taxes for the first nine months of fiscal 2018 included the impact of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017, including a reduction in the blended fiscal year 2018 federal statutory tax rate from 35% to 30.4% and an estimated $3.1 million one-time expense resulting from the remeasurement of our deferred tax assets and liabilities.

 

Equity method investment activity, net of tax, for the first nine months of fiscal 2018 was a loss of $0.4 million compared to equity method investment activity, net of tax loss of $0.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2017. The increase was due to the equity method loss associated with our investment in HAPSMobile, Inc. joint venture formed in December 2017.

 

Net income attributable to AeroVironment for the first nine months of fiscal 2018 was $1.7 million, an increase  from the first nine months of fiscal 2017 net loss of $18.0 million.

 

Earnings per diluted share for the first nine months of fiscal 2018 was $0.07 compared to loss per share for the first nine months of fiscal 2017 of $0.78.

 

BACKLOG

 

As of January 27, 2018, funded backlog (unfilled firm orders for which funding is currently appropriated to us under a customer contract) was $123.5 million compared to $78.0 million as of April 30, 2017.

FISCAL 2018 — OUTLOOK FOR THE FULL YEAR

For fiscal 2018, the company continues to expect to generate revenue of between $280 million and $300 million, and earnings per diluted share of between $0.45 and $0.65. 

The foregoing estimates are forward looking and reflect management's view of current and future market conditions, including certain assumptions with respect to our ability to obtain and retain government contracts, changes in the timing and/or amount of government spending, changes in the demand for our products and services, activities of competitors, changes in the regulatory environment, and general economic and business conditions in the United States and elsewhere in the world. Investors are reminded that actual results may differ materially from these estimates.
