FASTENTECH, INC. REPORTS FISCAL 2006 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
Minneapolis, Minnesota – February 2, 2006 – FastenTech, Inc. today reported its results for the fiscal 2006 first quarter ended December 31, 2005:
| • | | Net sales increased 32.4% to $92.4 million from $69.8 million in the year-ago quarter. |
| • | | Organic net sales (revenues excluding the effects of acquisitions and a 1.1% unfavorable impact due to foreign currency fluctuations) were up 0.8% from the year-ago quarter, while acquisitions completed after the fiscal first quarter of 2005 increased revenues 32.7%. Pro forma net sales (see schedule reconciling net sales from continuing operations to pro forma net sales in the accompanying tables) were up 0.7% from the year-ago quarter. |
| • | | Operating income increased 21.9% to $9.0 million from $7.4 million in the year-ago quarter. The current quarter benefited from the acquisitions completed after the fiscal first quarter 2005. |
| • | | Pro forma adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA”) (see schedule reconciling GAAP Income from continuing operations to Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA in the accompanying tables) were $14.4 million, or 14.8% of net sales compared to $14.6 million, or 15.2% of net sales in the year-ago quarter. |
| • | | Net income increased to $2.4 million from $0.7 million in the year-ago quarter. The fiscal first quarter of 2006 benefited from a non-cash gain on the repurchase of redeemable preferred stock of $2.2 million that was partly offset by non-cash redeemable preferred stock interest expense of $0.7 million. |
| • | | Net debt of $298.3 million as of December 31, 2005 consisted of $175 million of 11.5% senior subordinated notes, due May 2011, $132 million drawn under a revolving credit facility, and $6.5 million of seller notes, net of $15.2 million in cash and cash equivalents. |
| • | | Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.4 million compared to a use of $13.3 million in the year-ago quarter. |
Pro forma results reflect the impact of acquisitions as if such transactions had occurred as of October 1, 2004. For more information about these transactions view footnote one in the accompanying financial tables.
Ron Kalich, President and Chief Executive Officer said, “We are pleased with our performance in the fiscal first quarter. Once again, our revenue and Adjusted EBITDA were in line with our targets. As we expected, lower demand for military tracked vehicle components in the quarter impacted organic sales growth in our Aerospace-grade segment. Although we expect this trend to continue through fiscal 2006, we expect an improved order backlog for gas turbine components, particularly for maintenance, repairs, and overhaul, which is up 61% from a year-ago, to mitigate the decline. In our Specialized and Application-specific components segments, improved demand across nearly all our product lines drove our organic revenue growth for these segments higher this quarter than in the year-ago quarter. This, too, is a trend we expect to continue through fiscal 2006.”
Financial Operating Highlights
Aerospace-grade Components
Net sales for the fiscal first quarter of 2006 were $48.1 million compared to $28.7 million in the fiscal first quarter of 2005, an increase of $19.4 million, or 67.4%. The fiscal first quarter of 2006 benefited from acquisitions completed after the beginning of the fiscal 2005 first quarter, which had a favorable impact on net sales of 74.4% and was partly offset by a 7.0% decline in organic sales due to lower demand for military tracked vehicle components. Pro forma net sales were $48.1 million in the fiscal first quarter of 2006 compared to $49.2 million in the fiscal first quarter of 2005. Higher sales to other end markets partly offset lower military sales.
Adjusted EBITDA was $9.2 million, or 19.2% of net sales in the fiscal first quarter of 2006 compared to $5.5 million, or 19.2% of net sales, in the fiscal first quarter of 2005. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was due primarily to the benefit of acquisitions completed after the beginning of the fiscal first quarter of 2005. Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA was $9.2 million, or 19.2% of net sales, in the fiscal first quarter of 2006 compared to $9.6 million, or 19.4% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2005.
Specialized Components
Net sales for the fiscal first quarter of 2006 were $39.9 million compared to $37.2 million in the fiscal first quarter of 2005, an increase of $2.7 million or 7.3%. The increase was due to organic net sales growth of 5.4% excluding the effects of foreign currency fluctuations, which lowered organic net sales growth 2.1%, while the acquisition completed in the fiscal first quarter of 2006 had a favorable impact on net sales of 4.0%. The organic net sales growth reflected strong demand across all end markets except the light vehicle market, which reflected an unfavorable year over year comparison due to an unusually large stud welding equipment sale ($1.1 million) recorded in the fiscal 2005 first quarter. Pro forma net sales were $44.3 million in the fiscal first quarter of 2006 compared to $43.0 million in the fiscal first quarter of 2005. Pro forma net sales increased across nearly all end markets except the light vehicle comparison, as discussed above. These gains were also partly offset by the effects of the foreign currency fluctuations discussed earlier.
Adjusted EBITDA was $5.6 million, or 14.1% of net sales, in the fiscal first quarter of 2006 compared to $5.7 million, or 15.4% of net sales in the first quarter of 2005. The benefit of the first quarter 2006 acquisition was offset by increased raw material and fuel costs in the Company’s critical engine components business and the effects of foreign currency fluctuations. Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA was $6.3 million, or 14.3% of net sales, in the fiscal first quarter of 2006 compared to $6.2 million, or 14.5% of net sales, in the fiscal first quarter of 2005.
Application-specific Components
Net sales for the fiscal first quarter of 2006 were $4.5 million compared to $3.9 million in the fiscal first quarter of 2005, and increase of $0.6 million or 15.0%. The increase was due primarily to new component sales partly offset by the phase out of discontinued components.
Adjusted EBITDA was $0.6 million, or 12.5% of net sales, in the fiscal first quarter of 2006 compared to $0.5 million or 13.8% of net sales in the fiscal first quarter of 2005. Adjusted EBITDA margins were adversely affected by price reductions and operating inefficiencies.

Adjusted EBITDA and Other Non-GAAP Supplemental Information
Adjusted EBITDA and proforma results are non-GAAP measures presented in this press release as supplemental disclosures to operating income and reported results. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a basis for presenting and using financial data to aid it in making internal operating decisions. It defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and non-operating items. Proforma results are presented to aid in the analyses of reported results because of the significant acquisition activity the Company has engaged in over the past twenty-four months. Proforma results are calculated as if the acquisitions that were completed after the beginning of a reported accounting period had occurred as of the beginning of the respective accounting period. Neither Adjusted EBITDA, nor proforma results are intended to represent and should not be considered more meaningful than, or an alternative to, operating income, cash flows from operating activities or other measures of performance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The Company includes Adjusted EBITDA data and proforma results because it is how management measures operating segment performance. It also realizes that certain investors use such information as one measure of an issuer’s historical ability to service debt and as a measure of operations. However, because of potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation, neither Adjusted EBITDA nor proforma results are necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions used by other companies or definitions used in the Company’s debentures, credit, or other similar agreements.
Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements in this press release are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are subject to the safe harbor created thereby.
