Operating income for the third quarter of 2007 decreased by $135,000 to $1.9 million from $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2006 primarily as a result of increased general and administrative expenses and higher MRO operating expenses. Included in general and administrative expenses in the third quarter was a one-time bonus payment of $330,000 related to the success of the company’s initial public offering and $170,000 of share based compensation expense.
GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2007 was $1.4 million, or $0.12 per basic and diluted share compared with $1.2 million or $0.13 per basic and diluted share in the 2006 second quarter. The per share data for the third quarter of 2007 reflects the Company’s issuance of 4,025,000 shares of common stock in its initial public offering that closed on July 23, 2007.
Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2007 was $1.8 million, or $0.15 per basic and diluted share compared with $1.4 million or $0.16 per basic and diluted share in the 2006 third quarter. The per share data for the third quarter of 2007 reflects the Company’s issuance of 4,025,000 shares of common stock in its initial public offering that closed on July 23, 2007.
At September 30, 2007, the Company had $3.3 million of cash and $30.9 million of short term investments consisting of auction rate tax exempt securities. Utilizing a portion of the proceeds of its initial public offering, the company repaid $8 million of debt and as of September 30, 2007 the company’s total liabilities were $9.3 million compared to $20.9 million at December 31, 2006.
GAAP net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $4.4 million or $0.46 per basic and diluted share compared to GAAP net income of $3.0 million or $0.34 per basic and diluted share in the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
Non-GAAP net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $5.2 million or $0.54 per basic and diluted share compared to non-GAAP net income of $3.5 million or $0.39 per basic and diluted share in the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
Shaul Menachem, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “We believe that the slowing of our growth rate in the third quarter reflects a slowing of airline maintenance requirements, including parts purchases, during the peak air travel summer months. We have begun to see an increase in this work in recent weeks. During the third quarter we continued to expand the scope of our MRO services, which is an integral part of our growth strategy, and look to continued growth in this segment. As previously announced, we have received two orders within the last two months from the U.S. Air Force. These two orders, totaling $8 million, have expanded the scope of our military MRO services and solidify our position as a leading manufacturer and MRO service provider of heat transfer equipment to the military.
We expect that our MRO services segment will continue to grow in the fourth quarter and that we will report a double digit increase in revenues in the quarter on a year over year basis. We are unable to provide guidance for our parts services segment in the fourth quarter as backlog is not a material factor in this business segment and orders are filled and shipped within a few days of receipt.���
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to financial results presented on a GAAP basis, the company has provided non-GAAP measures of operating income, net income and earnings per share. For purposes of this release, non-GAAP operating expenses, net income and earnings per share exclude share based compensation expense under SFAS 123R, an IPO related bonus, phantom option compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition related inventory adjustments, and income tax benefits. The company believes that presentation of non- GAAP financial measures may provide investors with additional meaningful and relevant financial information. Management believes the non-GAAP measures help indicate trends in the company's business, and management uses the non-GAAP measures to plan and forecast future periods. Non-GAAP information should not be considered superior to or as a substitute for GAAP measures or data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, non-GAAP information may not be comparable across companies, as other companies may use different non-GAAP measures. Reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are provided in the schedules attached to this release.
