Third Quarter Financial Summary

Revenues for the third quarter of 2019 were $23.6 million, compared to $23.8 million for the corresponding period in 2018, a decrease of 1.1%, primarily due to lower revenues in our Power Systems Division related to the termination of the Company’s Amphibious Assault Vehicle program (“AAV”) by its customer Science Applications International Corporation (“SAIC”) as a result of the United States Marine Corps termination for convenience.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2019 was $8.0 million, or 33.8% of revenues, compared to $7.3 million, or 30.7% of revenues, for the corresponding period in 2018. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to higher revenues and improved margins in the Company’s Power System Division related to programs that ended in 2018 that had lower margins along with improved product mix in 2019.

Operating expenses were $7.5 million, or 31.6% of revenues, in the third quarter of 2019, compared to operating expenses of $6.2 million, or 25.9% of revenues, for the corresponding period in 2018. Operating expenses were higher year-over-year primarily due to costs associated with the potential merger and costs associated with the implementation of a corporate Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system in 2019.

Operating income for the third quarter was $520,000 compared to operating income of $1.1 million in the corresponding period in 2018.

Arotech’s net loss for the third quarter of 2019 was $63,000, or $0.00 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $741,000, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share, for the corresponding period in 2018.

Adjusted net income per share for the third quarter of 2019 and 2018 was $0.06, respectively. compared to $0.06.

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) for the third quarter of 2019 was $2.5 million, compared to $2.4 million for the corresponding period of 2018.

Arotech believes information concerning Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income per share enhances overall understanding of Arotech’s current financial performance. Arotech computes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income per share, which are non-GAAP financial measures, as reflected in the tables below.

Year-to-Date Financial Summary

Revenues for the first nine months of 2019 were $67.6 million, compared to $73.0 million for the comparable period in 2018, a decrease of 7.3%. In the first nine months of 2019, revenues were $44.3 million for the Training and Simulation Division as compared to $43.6 million in the first nine months of 2018, an increase of $676,000, or 1.6%, primarily driven by its larger military contracts and strong commercial vehicle sales. Revenues for the first nine months of 2019 in the Power Systems Division decreased by $6.0 million, or 20.5%, from $29.4 million in the first nine months of 2018 to $23.4 million in the first nine months of 2019, primarily due to the termination of our AAV program by our customer SAIC as a result of the Marines termination for convenience with SAIC on October 3, 2018, lower revenues associated with completed programs as well as less demand for certain of our customer products.

Gross profit for the first nine months of 2019 was $21.4 million, or 31.7% of revenues, compared to $21.6 million, or 29.7% of revenues, for the prior year period. The year-over-year decrease in gross profit was primarily due to lower revenues, offset by improved gross profit margins in the Power System Division related to programs that ended in 2018 that had lower margins along with improved product mix in 2019.

Operating expenses were $20.9 million, or 31.0% of revenues, for the first nine months of 2019, compared to operating expenses of $18.9 million, or 25.9% of revenues, for the corresponding period in 2018. Operating expenses are higher year-over-year primarily due to costs associated with the potential merger, higher R&D costs related to new projects, and costs related to an implementation of a corporate ERP system in 2019.

Operating income for the first nine months of 2019 was $502,000 compared to operating income of $2.8 million in the corresponding period in 2018.

Arotech’s net loss for the first nine months of 2019 was $1.1 million, or $(0.04) per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $1.4 million, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share, for the corresponding period in 2018.

Cash Flow Summary

Arotech had net cash used in operating activities of $595,000 for the period ending September 30, 2019, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $3.4 million for the corresponding period in 2018. This use of cash is primarily attributable to the funding of certain long term contracts in the Training and Simulation Division, where milestone payments do not apply, as well as costs incurred prior to the termination of the AAV program. In July 2019, the Company received a $2.0 million partial payment towards the AAV program costs and the funding of the long term contracts in our Training and Simulation division should be significantly completed by the second quarter of 2020.
