GEDERA, Israel, March 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- TAT Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: TATT) ("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, 2021.

Key Financial Highlights:

Total revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, were $78 million compared to $75.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, an increase of 3.6%.

Gross profit for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, were $11.3 million (14.5% of revenues) compared to $8.4 million (11.2% of revenues) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, an increase of 35%. The Gross margin for 2021 without a onetime impact of the restructuring plan was $12.5 million (16% out of revenues). The improvement in gross margin is mainly attribute to government grants that the company received during the year and to cost cutting measures that were taken during the year.

Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, was $3.3 million compared to $1.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020. An improvement of 296%.

GAAP net loss from continued operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, was $4 million ($2.2 million without a onetime impact of our restructuring plan) compared to GAAP net loss from continued operations of $3.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020. A decrease of 62% in net loss from continued operations without a onetime impact of our restructuring plan.

Cash net of debt for December 31, 2021, was $0.5 million compared to $16.2 million for December 31, 2020. During the years 2020 and 2021, the Company made significant capital investments related to the three large strategic agreements with Honeywell and the restructuring plan.

Mr. Igal Zamir, CEO and President of TAT Technologies stated, "2021 was a unique and challenging year for the aerospace industry and for TAT. While volumes and prospects improved during 2021, volatility and uncertainty continued to be part of our business environment". Mr. Zamir continues: " during 2021 we closed additional two strategic deals with Honeywell for the MRO and lease activity of APU331-500 (which are mainly used in the Boeing 777 fleet) and APU131 (which are mainly used in the Boeing 737 and the Airbus 320 fleets). We are already benefiting from the fruit of the lease activity, and we are building the production infrastructure to be able to provide MRO services for these APUs during 2022. We believe that these deals will consist of a major growth factor for TAT as the aerospace industry will shape up. In parallel we are in the final phase of closing a production facility in Israel reducing our operational foot print to three major facilities with significant cost savings. We continue to ramp up our Heat Exchange capabilities in our Limco facility in Tulsa Oklahoma. We are expecting to see the impact of these strategic transaction in our financial results starting from the second half of 2022".

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) acquisition related expenses and/or (4) share in results of equity investment of affiliated companies. 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 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 page 11.
