Bid & Proposal Pipeline Increases to $5.2 Billion Reflecting Strength in New Business Opportunities

SAN DIEGO, March 11, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq:KTOS), a leading National Security Solutions provider, today reported fiscal year 2013 Revenues of $950.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $100.3 million, or 10.6 percent. For the fourth quarter ended December 29, 2013, Kratos reported Revenues of $235.7 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $24.6 million or 10.4 percent, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow of $7.0 million. In the fourth quarter of 2013, Kratos generated a gross margin of 26.1 percent -- the highest of fiscal 2013 -- as the revenue mix of high value add specialty products in the electronic warfare, intelligence, surveillance & reconnaissance (ISR) and satellite communications areas, where the Company is strategically focused, increased.

In the fourth quarter of 2013, Kratos' Internal Research and Development (IR&D) expense sequentially increased by $2.1 million over the third quarter of 2013 expense of $4.8 million, up to $6.9 million, primarily due to the Company accelerating its investment in the Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) area. Kratos is currently under contract for a new UAS platform, which, if aircraft performance and other future milestones are successfully achieved, could ultimately become the largest production program in the Company. Related to the significant investment the Company is making in this area, Kratos recently received a multi-million dollar contract modification and value increase to this important UAS program, with the total value of this program to Kratos now currently at several tens of millions of dollars. Additionally, and also directly related to the significant investment the Company is making in the UAS area, Kratos is now working with a customer on a new, separate, high-performance aircraft initiative, with a demonstration flight currently planned for 2015. The significant increase in the discretionary IR&D and other expenses related to these initiatives directly impacted Kratos' reported fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA.

For fiscal year 2013, Kratos' Public Safety & Security (KPSS) business generated Revenues of $209.7 million, a 12.7 percent increase over fiscal year 2012. Additionally, KPSS' fourth quarter 2013 Revenues of $55.6 million increased approximately 14.4 percent over the fourth quarter of 2012 and increased sequentially approximately 7.3 percent over the third quarter of 2013. Kratos is currently forecasting organic revenue growth of approximately 5 to 10 percent for KPSS for fiscal year 2014 over fiscal year 2013, with KPSS' backlog and bid & proposal pipeline currently near all-time high levels.

At fiscal year-end December 29, 2013, Kratos reported total backlog of $1.1 billion and a qualified bid and proposal pipeline of $5.2 billion. For the third fiscal quarter ended September 29, 2013, Kratos reported a total backlog of $1.1 billion. Kratos does not include in its backlog or bid and proposal pipeline any amounts expected to be received from Multiple Award Contracts (MACs), Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contracts (IDIQs) or Government Wide Acquisition Contracts (GWACs) unless associated funded task orders have been received.

For the full year and fourth quarter ended December 29, 2013, Pro Forma EPS from continuing operations was $0.06 and $0.16, respectively. Pro Forma EPS excludes non-cash amortization expenses, as the Company has historically been acquisitive, and excludes certain non-recurring items such as favorable litigation related settlement credits, changes in the unused office space accrual, excess capacity and restructuring costs, and contract design retrofit costs and includes cash actually expected to be paid for income taxes in order to reflect the benefit of the Company's Net Operating Loss carry forwards of over $300 million. Kratos believes that reporting Pro Forma EPS is a meaningful metric to present the Company's earnings. For the full year and fourth quarter ended December 29, 2013, GAAP EPS was a loss of $0.13 and $0.65, respectively, which includes a loss from discontinued operations of $0.5 million and $5.3 million, or $0.01 and $0.09 per share, respectively.

Eric DeMarco, Kratos' President & CEO, said, "Fiscal 2013 was difficult for U.S. Federal Government contractors and for Kratos, with little budgetary clarity throughout the entire year. However, though the environment remains very challenging, there is now a federal budget agreement and a fiscal 2014 Defense Appropriations Bill in place, somewhat reducing the magnitude and random across the board cuts of Sequestration and providing some funding predictability to our largest customer set. Since the execution of these budgetary agreements, we have seen our opportunities, bookings and order flow increase, providing us greater confidence for 2014. For example, Kratos has recently received previously delayed fiscal 2014 production orders for two of our Company's largest programs, EA-18G and Trident. Additionally, P-8A Poseidon, another significant and important program to Kratos, recently received full rate production approval, and we have been informed that later this year we should be receiving the next three-year production option on our Company's largest program, AFSAT. We have also recently been awarded a number of new satellite communication related contract awards, which we have publically announced over the past few weeks, that we will be performing on and delivering in 2014. As a result, we are affirming our 2014 financial guidance, and we are forecasting increasing Revenues and an Adjusted EBITDA ramp throughout the coming year, reflecting the recent receipt of several new contract awards, the receipt of certain previously delayed contract awards and our planned discretionary IR&D and internal investment spend."

Mr. DeMarco continued, "The Pentagon also recently released the fiscal 2015 budget request and the Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR), providing important insight for future DoD funding priorities under the recent Ryan-Murray spending agreement. We believe the priorities described in these documents are consistent with major Kratos programs and initiatives, including unmanned systems, electronic warfare, satellite communications, cyber, hypersonic vehicles, directed energy systems, electromagnetic rail gun and missile defense. Additionally, directly related to National Security priority areas of strategic importance, over the past several months, a number of large and strategic programs for our industry and for Kratos have been awarded or have just recently come out of protest situations, including NGJ, AMDR and SEWIP. The recent industry awards of several of these new programs, along with our UAS initiatives, resulted in Kratos significantly increasing our IR&D and other internal investments in the fourth quarter of 2013, which will continue through at least the first half of 2014, as we strive for significant Kratos content with these large, new opportunities. Though these discretionary investments are impacting near term Adjusted EBITDA, we are making these investments in areas where Kratos is already an established industry leader, and in many cases in conjunction with our customer, and we are fortunate that we have the opportunity for significant future growth if we are successful."

Mr. DeMarco concluded, "For 2014, we will remain focused on our existing business, operational excellence, continuously rightsizing and managing our discretionary cost base, and progressing on our strategic initiatives. In 2014, we expect to generate significant cash flow from operations, free cash flow after the interest payments on our Senior Notes, and for our accounts receivable DSOs to continue to decrease. We also expect to refinance Kratos' senior notes in 2014, after the "no call" provision expires at the end of May, with the opportunity to significantly reduce the Company's interest rate and further increase our free cash flow."

Financial Guidance

In January 2014, President Obama signed a $1.1 trillion spending bill to finance the U.S. Government and DoD through September 30, 2014, after previously approving a U.S. federal funding deal that provides some clarity to expected defense spending for the next two years. As a result of the President signing the spending bill into law, and the increased clarity to the 2014 DoD budget, Kratos recently provided and today affirmed the Company's fiscal 2014 financial guidance.

The Company currently expects full year fiscal 2014 Revenues of $920 million to $980 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $92 to $106 million, and Free Cash Flow of $25 to $40 million. Kratos' fiscal 2014 financial guidance assumes approximately $18 million to $28 million in IR&D expense and other discretionary internally funded investments by the Company, with the first half and in particular the first quarter of 2014's currently forecasted IR&D spend expected to be significantly higher than the second half of 2014, as the Company pursues large new opportunities in the UAS, electronic warfare, radar, signal processing, and satellite communication areas. 

Kratos is also providing fiscal 2014 quarterly Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA guidance consistent with its previous guidance. Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA are expected to increase and ramp throughout 2014, due primarily to: (a) The effect of limited U.S. Federal or DoD budget clarity and extended Continuing Resolution Authorizations (CRA) throughout fiscal 2013, which significantly impacted and delayed expected contract awards and orders. (b) The receipt of previously delayed 2014 production orders on several of the Company's largest programs, including Trident, EA-18G, a certain missile program and a very large confidential program, with product deliveries and related revenue expected to ramp throughout 2014. (c) The recent denial of a bid protest filed in November 2013, after Kratos announced that it is a key member of a team that received a $450 million single award Missile Defense Agency (MDA) contract. The Kratos team award has been sustained. Kratos' work under this new large MDA contract award is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2014. (d) KPSS, which is forecasting 2014 revenue growth of 5% to 10%, based on current backlog and bid and proposal opportunities, is expecting revenue to decrease somewhat sequentially from Q4 2013 to Q1 2014, and then increase throughout the balance of fiscal 2014, as certain large security system deployments conclude and new programs, many of which have recently been awarded, begin. (e) The previously noted expected IR&D spend.

Adjusted EBITDA	$16-$18	$18-$22	$28-$32	$30-$34	$92-$106

Also, consistent with Kratos' previously provided 2014 financial guidance, Kratos currently expects its first and third fiscal quarter of 2014 Free Cash Flow to be stronger than the second and fourth fiscal quarters, when Kratos will make the bi-annual interest payments on its Senior Secured Notes. Additionally, the fiscal year 2014 Free Cash Flow guidance provided above does not take into consideration or assume an expected reduction in the Company's interest rate and borrowing costs from a potential 2014 refinancing of the Company's $625 million Senior Secured Notes, due June 2017. If such a refinancing were to occur in 2014, the Company would provide revised financial and Free Cash Flow guidance at such time, as appropriate.

Management will discuss the financial results in a conference call beginning at 2:00 p.m. Pacific (5:00 p.m. Eastern) today.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This news release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including Pro Forma EPS (computed using net income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, excluding amortization of purchased intangibles, acquisition related items, restructuring related items and other, unused office space expense and contract design retrofit costs, less the estimated tax cash payments), Adjusted EBITDA (which excludes losses from discontinued operations, acquisition related items, restructuring related items and other, stock compensation expense, unused office space expense, contract design retrofit costs and the associated margin rates), and Free Cash Flow (which is computed using Cash Flow from Operating Activities less Capital Expenditures).  Kratos believes this information is useful to investors because it provides a basis for measuring the Company's available capital resources, the actual and forecasted operating performance of the Company's business and the Company's cash flow, excluding extraordinary items and non-cash items that would normally be included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  The Company's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures along with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in evaluating the Company's actual and forecasted operating performance, capital resources and cash flow.  Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and investors should carefully evaluate the Company's financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures as reported by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies. As appropriate, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and information reconciling these non-GAAP financial measures to the Company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP are included in this news release.

Adjusted EBITDA as calculated by us may be calculated differently than EBITDA for other companies. We have provided Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is a commonly used measure of financial performance in comparable companies and is provided to help investors evaluate companies on a consistent basis, as well as to enhance an understanding of our operating results. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as either an alternative to net income or as an indicator of our operating performance or an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Please refer to the following table that reconciles GAAP net loss to Adjusted EBITDA:
