Cyalume Technologies Holdings Announces Full Year 2008 Results
As a result of the acquisition of Cyalume Technologies, Inc. (“CTI”) on December 19, 2008, our audited financial statements include the consolidated statements of income of Cyalume for 2008 and 2007 and also CTI, as Predecessor, for the period from January 1, 2008 to December 19, 2008 and the year ended 2007. The Cyalume income statement only reflects the results of operations of CTI for the period December 20 to December 31. To assist investors in better understanding the changes in our business for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, we have provided a reconciliation of our net income per the audited financial statements to adjusted net income by adding the Predecessor’s net income to that of Cyalume and a reconciliation of CTI’s net income to adjusted EBITDA. Unless otherwise stated, the financial information in this press release reflects such adjusted financial information.
| · | Full year Adjusted Net Income increased 92% over prior year to $6.6 million; fourth quarter Adjusted Net Income increased 12% to $1.3 million |
| · | Full year Adjusted EBITDA increased 17% over prior year to $13.2 million; fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA increased 5% to $2.8 million |
| · | Full year revenue increased 4.4% over prior year to $40.8 million; fourth quarter revenue decreased 9% to $9.1 million |
West Springfield, MA – March 30, 2009 – Cyalume Technologies Holdings, Inc. (OTC-BB: CYLU) today announced results for the full year ending December 31, 2008. Cyalume reported adjusted net income, which is net income before amortization, rose 94% to $6.6 million on revenues of $40.8 million, compared to adjusted net income of $3.4 million on revenues of $39.0 million. Adjusted EBITDA, which is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, foreign currency gains and losses, and certain one-time gains or expenses, rose 17% to $13.2 million compared to $11.3 million in 2007. Adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA are important measures because they present a view of our performance on an ongoing basis without regard to certain one-time gains or expenses such as certain lawsuit settlement gains and corresponding legal fees incurred. The Company achieved record sales during 2008. The increase in sales was driven mainly by growth in the US chemical light and reflective product business that was partially offset by lower sales in the European and commercial safety markets. Improved operational efficiencies and cost savings also contributed to the net income growth. Comparable GAAP amounts and a reconciliation to GAAP net income are shown later in this release.
Adjusted net income for the three-months ending December 31, 2008 rose 12% to $1.3 million from revenue of $9.1 million compared to adjusted net income of $1.2 million from revenue of $10.0 million in 2007. Adjusted EBITDA for the period increased 5% to $2.8 million from $2.6 million in 2007.
Derek Dunaway, Cyalume’s President and CEO, said “We are excited to report record revenue and adjusted net income for 2008. We serve a variety of markets on a global basis, most of which had shown strong year over year growth. While we did feel the effects of the global economic slowdown at the end of the year, our core business in 2008 continued to grow at a significant rate as did the sale of infrared products. Our ammunition business, which only began in 2006, showed strong performance and is positioned for excellent growth in 2009. Our strong balance sheet allows us to be opportunistic in pursuing growth initiatives that include new customer relationships, internal projects and potential acquisitions.”
Business Outlook
The slowdown, which we began to feel in the end of 2008 and which has continued into the first quarter of 2009, we attribute to a number of factors including changing operations in Iraq, the change in administration and, to a lesser degree, the overall global economic slowdown. The main area of slowdown has been in our core military chemical business.
We believe that Cyalume will have a positive 2009 relative to 2008. The slowdown does not seem to be indicative of any fundamental change in consumption of our core products. As such we expect sales to return to a normal level during the second quarter.
While the core chemical business has had a slow beginning of the year, other areas have started more positively. In particular, sales of our training ammunition product have been very strong year to date and we expect to increase ammunition sales in 2009 versus 2008 by over 300%. We have already received purchase orders of over $7 million in ammunition sales to be delivered over the next twelve months.
Our commercial and public safety sales declined in 2008 as expected as we began to execute a new strategic direction for that market. While first quarter sales continued at a comparable pace to 2008, we have seen indications that our strategy of building a stronger distribution network into specific market segments is beginning to pay off and we expect it to result in stronger orders over the remainder of 2009.
As a result of the slow first quarter and the overall economic environment, we have taken steps to reduce costs in our factory and reorganized our shifts to create more efficiency. We believe this will result in yearly cost reductions of $1 million. We took these actions proactively to better match operational resources with short term demand fluctuations. As demand returns, the Company can move quickly to increase production levels to meet normal demand requirements.
In spite of the slow beginning to the year, the Company still expects revenue and adjusted net income for 2009 to be above 2008. The Company expects its revenue for 2009 to be between $43 and $47 million, which would represent an increase of between 5.4% and 15.2%. The Company expects its adjusted net income to be between $7.2 and $7.6 million, this represents an increase of between 7.5% and 13.4%.

Results of Operations – Adjusted Pro Forma Basis
Adjusted pro forma net income is an alternative view of performance used by management and we believe that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing this information. We define adjusted pro forma net income as the pro forma net income of Cyalume excluding the effects of the purchase on CTI. The adjusted pro forma net income measure is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for U.S. GAAP net income. Adjusted pro forma net income is an important internal measurement for us. We measure the performance of the overall Company on this basis. The following are examples of how we use adjusted pro forma net income:
| · | Senior management receives a monthly analysis of our operating results that is prepared on an adjusted pro forma net income basis; |
| · | Our annual budget for 2009 is prepared on an adjusted pro forma net income basis |
| · | Certain annual compensation computations, including annual cash bonuses, are calculated in part on an adjusted pro forma net income basis. |
Despite the importance of this measure to management in goal setting and performance measurement, we stress that adjusted pro forma net income is a non-GAAP financial measure that has no standardized meaning under U.S. GAAP and therefore, has limits in its usefulness to investors. Due to its non-standardized definition, adjusted pro forma net income (unlike U.S. GAAP net income) may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other companies. Adjusted pro forma net income is presented solely to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses our performance.

As we had no material business operations prior to the acquisition, we believe that the operations of CTI are of most interest to our investors. As the full year 2008 operations of CTI are not presented in the audited financial statements, we are presenting a section below based on adjusted pro forma net income. Except for results occurring after the date of the acquisition, combining each Company’s results in this manner does not reflect the effects of a full year of: (a) purchase accounting resulting from the acquisition or (b) other pro forma adjustments that could have been used to show how results may have appeared if that purchase accounting was applied as of January 1, 2008 or January 1, 2007. Adjusted pro forma information is useful as it assists management in understanding our performance over the last two years, which would not be possible by reviewing the U.S. GAAP information. Investors may find it useful for this purpose as well. The adjusted pro forma information should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, the financial information in accordance with U.S. GAAP, since it does not include the effects of purchase accounting or pro-forma adjustments. Adjusted pro forma information, as calculated, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

.1 Adjusted EBITDA (a Non-GAAP Financial Measure)
Cyalume defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, foreign currency gains or losses and one time income or expense items. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA for establishing internal budgets, goals and performance bonuses. Internal financial reports including those provided to the Board of Directors, focus on Adjusted EBITDA. Since Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily an indicator of overall cash flows of Cyalume, management reviews capital budgets and cash flow forecasts in parallel with Adjusted EBITDA analysis. Because Adjusted EBITDA eliminates interest expense, income taxes and depreciation, amortization and one-time income or expense items, Cyalume considers this financial measure an important indicator of Cyalume’s liquidity, operational strength and performance. Investors may find Adjusted EBITDA useful as it illustrates underlying operating trends in Cyalume’s business.
In addition, components of Adjusted EBITDA are a key component in the determination of our compliance with certain covenants under our credit agreements. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for net income, cash flows, or other consolidated income or cash flow data presented in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of our liquidity or financial condition. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure determined in accordance with GAAP and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA as discussed may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
The use of Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental liquidity measure is useful as it assists management in understanding and evaluating the Company’s capacity, excluding the impact of interest, taxes, and non-cash depreciation and amortization charges, for servicing debt and other cash needs, prior to our consideration of the impacts of other potential sources and uses of cash, such as working capital items. Investors may find it useful for these purposes as well. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net cash provided by operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP, since it omits the impact of interest, taxes and changes in working capital that use or provide cash (such as receivables, payables and inventories) as well as the sources or uses of cash associated with changes in other balance sheet items (such as long-term loss accruals and deferred items). Because Adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for the replacement of the assets being depreciated and amortized, which assets will often have to be replaced in the future. Further, Adjusted EBITDA, because it also does not reflect the impact of debt service, income taxes, cash dividends, capital expenditures and other cash commitments, does not represent how much discretionary cash we have available for other purposes. Nonetheless, Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure expected by and useful to our investors, rating agencies and the banking community in the analysis of a Company’s ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and otherwise meet cash needs, respectively. Cyalume also evaluates Adjusted EBITDA because it is clear that movements in these non-GAAP measures impact the Company’s ability to attract financing. Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
