AMERICAN PACIFIC REPORTS REVENUE INCREASE OF 34% AND
NET INCOME OF $2.9 MILLION FOR FISCAL 2008 FIRST QUARTER
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, February 7, 2008 — American Pacific Corporation (NASDAQ: APFC) today reported financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2007.
We provide non-GAAP measures as a supplement to financial results based on GAAP. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is included in the accompanying supplemental data.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Quarter Ended December 31, 2007 Compared to Quarter Ended December 31, 2006
• | | Revenues increased 34% to $46.9 million from $34.9 million. |
|
• | | Operating income increased 64% to $7.2 million compared to $4.4 million. |
|
• | | Adjusted EBITDA improved to $12.4 million compared to $9.7 million. |
|
• | | Net income increased to $2.9 million from $0.6 million. |
|
• | | Diluted earnings per share was $0.38 compared to $0.09. |
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues—Revenues for our fiscal 2008 first quarter increased 34% to $46.9 million reflecting revenue growth from our Specialty Chemicals and Fine Chemicals segments.
See further discussion under our Segment Highlights.
Cost of Revenues and Gross Margins —For our fiscal 2008 first quarter, cost of revenues was $29.5 million compared to $22.0 million for the prior year first quarter. The consolidated gross margin percentage was 37% for both periods.
One of the significant factors that affects, and should continue to affect, the comparison of our consolidated gross margins from period to period is the change in product mix between our two largest segments. Our Specialty Chemicals segment typically has higher gross margins than our Fine Chemicals segment. Measured in terms of revenues, Specialty Chemicals accounted for 33% and 34% of our operations during the fiscal 2008 and 2007 first quarters, respectively. Fine Chemicals has grown as a percentage of total revenues, comprising 57% and 51% of consolidated revenues in the fiscal 2008 and 2007 first quarters, respectively.
In addition, our fiscal 2008 first quarter consolidated gross margin reflects:
• | | Improvements in Specialty Chemicals segment gross margin percentage driven by higher product volume. |
|
• | | A decrease in Fine Chemicals segment gross margin percentage relating to a change in product mix. |
|
• | | An increase in Aerospace Equipment segment gross margin percentage. |
See further discussion under our Segment Highlights.

Operating Expenses— For our fiscal 2008 first quarter, operating expenses increased $1.7 million to $10.2 million from $8.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, primarily due to:
• | | An increase in Specialty Chemicals segment operating expenses of $0.4 million primarily due to environmental related costs and employee compensation. |
|
• | | An increase in Fine Chemicals segment operating expenses of $0.5 million due to additional personnel costs, primarily recruiting and relocation expenses. |
|
• | | An increase in corporate operating expenses of $0.7 million due to a $0.6 million increase in employee compensation and retirement benefit expenses and a $0.3 million increase in Sarbanes-Oxley compliance costs, offset somewhat by numerous other minor decreases in corporate operating expenses. |
SEGMENT HIGHLIGHTS
Specialty Chemicals Segment
Our Specialty Chemicals segment revenues include the operating results from our perchlorate, sodium azide and Halotron product lines, with perchlorates comprising 95% and 85% of Specialty Chemicals revenues in the fiscal 2008 and 2007 first quarters, respectively.
Quarter Ended December 31, 2007 Compared to Quarter Ended December 31, 2006
• | | Revenues increased 32% to $15.5 million from $11.8 million. |
|
• | | Operating income was $5.9 million, or 38% of revenues compared to $3.5 million, or 30% of revenues. |
|
• | | Segment EBITDA was $7.1 million, or 46% of revenues, compared to $4.8 million, or 41% of revenues. |
The first quarter variances in Specialty Chemicals revenues reflect the following factors:
• | | A 66% increase in Grade I AP volume in the fiscal 2008 first quarter, offset partially by a 15% decrease in the related average price per pound. |
|
• | | Sodium azide revenues decreased 93% in the fiscal 2008 first quarter compared to the prior year quarter. |
|
• | | Halotron revenues decreased 11% in the fiscal 2008 first quarter compared to the prior year quarter. |
The increase in Grade I AP volume for the fiscal 2008 first quarter compared to the prior fiscal year first quarter reflects the timing of customer orders. The fiscal 2008 first quarter included a greater percentage of our expected annual volume for fiscal 2008. On an annual basis, we expect fiscal 2008 volume to be comparable to fiscal 2007. There are numerous variations of Grade I AP that we produce for our customers. The decrease in the average price per pound of Grade I AP sold in the fiscal 2008 first quarter reflects a product mix that included more of the standard blend of Grade I AP than specialized blends.
Over the longer term, we expect demand for Grade I AP to be within the ranges of fiscal years 2006 and 2007. In addition, Grade I AP revenues are typically derived from a relatively few large orders. As a result, quarterly revenue amounts can vary significantly depending on the timing of individual orders throughout the year. Average price per pound may continue to fluctuate somewhat in future periods, depending upon product mix and volume.
The decrease in sodium azide revenues in the fiscal 2008 first quarter is due to a reduction in volume for sodium azide used in a pharmaceutical application. We do not anticipate an increase in demand for sodium azide in the near future.

The decrease in Halotron revenues is driven by timing of customer orders. Halotron volumes are expected to be relatively consistent in fiscal 2008 as compared to fiscal 2007.
Specialty Chemicals operating income for the fiscal 2008 first quarter was 38% of Specialty Chemicals revenue compared to 30% for the prior year quarter, reflecting the following:
• | | Specialty Chemicals segment depreciation and amortization expense, which is included in cost of sales, was $1.3 million, or 8% of Specialty Chemicals revenue for the fiscal 2008 first quarter, compared to $1.3 million, or 11% of Specialty Chemicals revenue for the fiscal 2007 first quarter. As a result of the improved coverage of depreciation and amortization expense by the higher revenue level in the current quarter, and raw material cost reductions for Halotron products, the Specialty Chemicals segment gross margin percentage improved by approximately eight points. |
|
• | | An increase in operating expenses of $0.4 million primarily due to environmental related costs and employee compensation. |
Fine Chemicals Segment
Our Fine Chemicals segment reflects the operating results of our wholly-owned subsidiary Ampac Fine Chemicals LLC (“AFC”).
Quarter Ended December 31, 2007 Compared to Quarter Ended December 31, 2006
• | | Revenues were $26.8 million compared to revenuesof $17.6 million. |
|
• | | Operating income was $4.7 million, or 17% of revenue, compared to $2.9 million, also 17% of revenue. |
|
• | | Segment EBITDA was $8.0 million, or 30% of revenue, compared to Segment EBITDA of $6.6 million, or 38% of revenue. |
The increase in Fine Chemicals segment revenues for the fiscal 2008 first quarter reflects continued strength in volumes for our anti-viral products. As is typical with the segment, the overall net growth reflects increases during the current year period for several products and decreases for other products. This occurs as a function of our customers’ ordering cycles and our timing of the production cycle. Production cycles are determined based on customer delivery requirements and the most effective use of AFC’s facilities.
Operating income was consistent at 17% of revenue for each quarter. However, because depreciation expense was a smaller percentage of the total segment expenses in the current quarter, segment EBITDA as a percentage of revenues decreased to 30%. Segment operating income for the fiscal 2008 first quarter reflects:
• | | A decrease in the gross margin percentage of approximately four points compared to the prior fiscal year period primarily due to a change in product mix. To a lesser extent, the gross margin percentage was negatively affected by lower factory utilization during the last quarter of fiscal 2007, which in turn increased the cost of inventories which were sold in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. |
• | | A decrease in depreciation of $0.3 million. |
• | | An increase in operating expenses of $0.5 million due to additional personnel costs, primarily recruiting and relocation expenses. |
Aerospace Equipment Segment
Our Aerospace Equipment segment reflects the operating results of our wholly-owned subsidiary Ampac ISP Corp. (“ISP”).

Page 3 of Exhibit 99.1
Quarter Ended December 31, 2007 Compared to Quarter Ended December 31, 2006
• | | Revenues decreased 6% to $3.7 million from $4.0 million. |
• | | Operating income was $0.2 million for each period. |
The decrease in Aerospace Equipment revenues of $0.3 million is due primarily to timing. Order bookings in from the latter part of fiscal 2007 and the fiscal 2008 first quarter should result in quarterly revenue growth for the remainder of fiscal 2008.
Operating income was consistent between each of the fiscal 2008 and 2007 first quarters, reflecting:
• | | An increase of approximately two points in Aerospace Equipment segment gross margin percentage due to favorable performance on the segment’s primary production contracts. |
• | | An increase in operating expenses of $0.1 million. |
CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY HIGHLIGHTS
Liquidity— As of December 31, 2007, we had cash balances of $38.2 million and no cash borrowings against our $20.0 million revolving credit line. In addition, we were in compliance with the various covenants contained in our credit agreements.
Operating Cash Flows—Cash flows from operating activities during the fiscal 2008 first quarter improved by $22.2 million compared to the prior fiscal year first quarter. Operating activities provided cash of $18.2 million for the fiscal 2008 first quarter compared to a use of cash of $4.0 million for the prior fiscal year first quarter.
Significant components of the change in cash flow from operating activities include:
• | | An increase in cash provided by Adjusted EBITDA of $2.8 million. |
• | | An improvement in cash flow from working capital accounts of $16.9 million, excluding the effects of interest and income taxes. |
• | | A reduction in cash taxes paid of $0.2 million. |
• | | A reduction in cash used for interest payments of $2.1 million. |
• | | A reduction in cash used for environmental remediation of $0.7 million. |
• | | Other increases in cash used for operating activities of $0.5 million. |
Cash provided by working capital accounts improved during the fiscal 2008 first quarter primarily due to the timing of accounts receivable and inventory balances. During the fiscal 2008 first quarter, inventories, primarily at AFC, grew at a slower rate than in the prior fiscal year first quarter, resulting in a $10.8 million reduction in cash used to fund inventory increases. For the fiscal 2008 first quarter, substantially all of the Specialty Chemicals segment sales occurred in the first two months of the quarter and substantially all of the cash was collected prior to December 31, 2007. As a result, cash provided from accounts receivable balances during the fiscal 2008 first quarter improved by $9.3 million compared to the prior year quarter. We consider these working capital changes to be routine and within the normal production cycle of our products. The production of certain fine chemical products requires a length of time that exceeds one quarter. Therefore, in any given quarter, work-in-progress inventory can increase or decrease significantly. We expect that our working capital may vary normally by as much as $10.0 million from quarter to quarter.
Cash used for interest decreased primarily due to the timing of the interest payments. Our current debt instruments require semi-annual interest payments in February and August compared to the debt instruments in place during the prior fiscal year first quarter which required interest payments at the end of each quarter.

Page 4 of Exhibit 99.1
Cash used for environmental remediation decreased because during the fiscal 2007 first quarter we were in the construction phase of our Henderson, NV remediation project compared to the lower cash requirements of the operating and maintenance phase which began in the fiscal 2007 second quarter.
Capital Expenditures —Cash used for capital expenditures was consistent between the fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007 first quarters. We expect that the amount of quarterly capital expenditures will increase as we proceed through fiscal 2008 primarily in support of additional equipment at AFC and capital expenses associated with the relocation of our corporate offices.
OUTLOOK
Our fiscal 2008 first quarter results were consistent with our expectation for the quarter. Accordingly, we are maintaining our guidance for fiscal 2008. For fiscal 2008, we are anticipating consolidated revenues of at least $195.0 million, Adjusted EBITDA of at least $40.0 million and net income of at least $6.0 million. Our fiscal 2008 guidance for Adjusted EBITDA is computed by adding estimated amounts for depreciation and amortization of $18.5 million, interest expenses of $11.0 million and income taxes of $4.5 million to estimated net income of $6.0 million. We are anticipating our capital expenditures for fiscal year 2008 to be approximately $17.0 million.

|
| • | | The inherent limitations of our fixed-price or similar contracts may impact our profitability. |
— more —
Page 5 of Exhibit 99.1
| • | | The numerous and often complex laws and regulations and regulatory oversight to which our operations and properties are subject, the cost of compliance, and the effect of any failure to comply could reduce our profitability and liquidity. |
|
| • | | A significant portion of our business depends on contracts with the government or its prime contractors and these contracts are impacted by governmental priorities and are subject to potential fluctuations in funding or early termination, including for convenience, any of which could material adversely effect our operating results, financial condition or cash flows. |
|
| • | | We may be subject to potentially material costs and liabilities in connection with environmental liabilities. |
|
| • | | For each of our Specialty Chemicals, Fine Chemicals and Aerospace Equipment segments, most production is conducted in a single facility and any significant disruption or delay at a particular facility could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations. |
|
| • | | The release or explosion of dangerous materials used in our business could disrupt our operations and cause us to incur additional costs and liability. |
|

|
| • | | Each of our Specialty Chemicals, Fine Chemicals and Aerospace Equipment segments may be unable to comply with customer specifications and manufacturing instructions or may experience delays or other problems with existing or new products, which could result in increased costs, losses of sales and potential breach of customer contracts. |
|
| • | | Successful commercialization of pharmaceutical products and product line extensions is very difficult and subject to many uncertainties. If a customer is not able to successfully commercialize its products for which AFC produces compounds or if the product is subsequently recalled, then the operating results of AFC may be negatively impacted. |
|
| • | | A strike or other work stoppage, or the inability to renew collective bargaining agreements on favorable terms, could have a material adverse effect on the cost structure and operational capabilities of AFC. |
|
| • | | The pharmaceutical fine chemicals industry is a capital-intensive industry and if AFC does not have sufficient financial resources to finance the necessary capital expenditures, its business and results of operations may be harmed. |
|
| • | | We may be subject to potential product liability claims that could affect our earnings and financial condition and harm our reputation. |
|
| • | | Technology innovations in the markets that we serve may create alternatives to our products and result in reduced sales. |
|
| • | | We are subject to competition in certain industries where we participate and therefore may not be able to compete successfully. |
|
| • | | Due to the nature of our business, our sales levels may fluctuate causing our quarterly operating results to fluctuate. |
|
| • | | The volatility of the chemical industry affects our capacity utilization and causes fluctuations in our results of operations. |
|
| • | | A loss of key personnel or highly skilled employees could disrupt our operations. |
|
| • | | We may continue to expand our operations through acquisitions, which could divert management’s attention and expose us to unanticipated liabilities and costs. We may experience difficulties integrating the acquired operations, and we may incur costs relating to acquisitions that are never consummated. |
|
| • | | We have a substantial amount of debt, and the cost of servicing that debt could adversely affect our ability to take actions, our liquidity or our financial condition. |
|
| • | | If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow to service our debt and fund our operating costs, our liquidity may be adversely affected. |
|
| • | | Our shareholder rights plan, Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and Amended and Restated By-laws discourage unsolicited takeover proposals and could prevent stockholders from realizing a premium on their common stock. |

Segment EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to income from operations as performance measures. Each EBITDA measure is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure because management believes that each is a useful performance measure that is widely used within the industry. In addition, EBITDA measures are significant measurements for covenant compliance under our credit facility. Each EBITDA measure is not calculated in the same manner by all companies and, accordingly, may not be an appropriate measure for comparison.
