VALENCIA, CA, February 5, 2014 — Wesco Aircraft Holdings, Inc. (“Wesco Aircraft” or the “Company”) (NYSE: WAIR), a leading provider of comprehensive supply chain management services to the global aerospace industry, today announced results for its fiscal first quarter ended December 31, 2013.
Highlights
· Revenue of $224.7 million, up 6.4% compared to $211.2 million in the prior year
· Net Income of $24.4 million, with Diluted Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) of $0.25 compared to $18.4 million and $0.19 in the prior year
· Adjusted Net Income of $25.9 million, with Adjusted Diluted EPS of $0.27 compared to $24.1 million and $0.25 in the prior year
· Reiterating full year 2014 guidance for sales of $975 million to $1.01 billion, Diluted EPS of $1.25 to $1.31, and Adjusted Diluted EPS of $1.31 to $1.37
Fiscal 2014 First Quarter Results
Revenue for the first fiscal quarter was $224.7 million, an increase of 6.4% compared to $211.2 million in the prior year period. The increase in the North America segment was 4.7% over the prior year period. Wesco again demonstrated strong international growth during the quarter with revenues in the Rest of World segment increasing by 19.6% compared to the prior year period. In the first quarter, Ad Hoc, JIT and LTA sales as a percentage of net sales represented 39%, 31% and 30%, respectively, compared to 40%, 26% and 34%, respectively, for the same period last year.
Net income for the first quarter was $24.4 million, resulting in Diluted EPS of $0.25 as compared to $18.4 million or $0.19 per share in the prior year period. Adjusted Net Income was $25.9 million resulting in Adjusted EPS of $0.27 in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to $24.1 million or $0.25 per share in the prior year period. Results for the first quarter of 2014 were impacted by one fewer business day compared to last year, as well as prolonged holiday shutdowns and vacations at a number of our top customers.
Wesco Aircraft’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Randy Snyder said, “Our first quarter results were solid despite the timing of the holidays. We are experiencing high levels of activity in orders, additions to our current contracts, and contract renewals with existing customers. These results give us confidence in our full year guidance for sales and earnings growth. In addition, our recently announced acquisition of Haas adds to our optimism for the rest of the year and beyond. None of this would be achievable without our strong customer relationships, the support of our suppliers and the dedicated efforts of the best employees in the business.”
Financial Outlook
Based on our performance during the first quarter, Wesco reiterates its guidance for 2014 and expects full year revenues to be between $975 million and $1.01 billion, representing a growth rate of approximately 8.1% to 12.0% over 2013 results. Diluted EPS and Adjusted Diluted EPS are expected to be in the range of $1.25 to $1.31, and $1.31 to $1.37, respectively. This guidance does not include the expected contribution from the acquisition of Haas Group Inc.; Wesco plans to update its full year guidance after the transaction closes.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
‘‘Adjusted Net Income’’ represents Net Income before: (i) amortization of intangible assets, (ii) amortization or write-off of deferred financing costs and original issue discount, (iii) unusual or non-recurring items and (iv) the tax effect of items (i) through (iii) above calculated using an assumed effective tax rate.
“Adjusted Basic EPS” represents Basic EPS calculated using Adjusted Net Income as opposed to Net Income.
“Adjusted Diluted EPS” represents Diluted EPS calculated using Adjusted Net Income as opposed to Net Income.
‘‘Adjusted EBITDA’’ represents Net Income before: (i) income tax provision, (ii) net interest expense, (iii) Carlyle Acquisition related non-cash stock-based compensation expense, (iv) depreciation and amortization, and (v) unusual or non-recurring items.
Wesco Aircraft utilizes and discusses Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Basic EPS, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP measures our management uses to evaluate our business, because we believe they assist investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. We believe these metrics are used in the financial community, and we present these metrics to enhance investors’ understanding of our operating performance. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income as an alternative to Net Income, determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indicator of operating performance. Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Basic EPS, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP, and these metrics may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. See below for a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Basic EPS, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
