ARC Group Worldwide, Inc. Reports Fiscal Year First Quarter 2017 Results

DELAND, FL., November 10, 2016/Marketwired/—ARC Group Worldwide, Inc. (“ARC” and the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ARCW), a leading global provider of advanced manufacturing and 3D printing solutions, today reported its results for its fiscal first quarter 2017, for the period ending October 2, 2016.

Highlights for the first quarter fiscal year 2017, compared to the first quarter fiscal year 2016:

· Sales from continuing operations of $26.8 million, an increase of 13.5% and the Company’s fourth consecutive quarter of sequential revenue growth;

· Gross profit of $5.0 million, an increase of 21.9%; and

· Adjusted EBITDA of $2.9 million, an increase of 11.4%.

Quarterly Summary

Fiscal first quarter 2017 revenue from continuing operations was $26.8 million, a 13.5% increase compared to the fiscal first quarter of 2016.  The increase, the Company’s fourth consecutive quarter of sequential organic sales growth, was driven by continued momentum from ARC’s new sales efforts.

Gross profit for the period was $5.0 million, an increase of 21.9%, while gross margins were 18.6%, an improvement of 128 basis points compared to the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 11.4% during the fiscal first quarter to $2.9 million, compared to $2.6 million in the prior comparable period.  Similar to the prior sequential quarter, Adjusted EBITDA growth was muted, the product of increased costs primarily attributable to new product programs in the process of launching.

Net income for the fiscal first quarter increased to $3.6 million compared to a net loss of $0.5 million in the prior year period as a result of a gain on the sale of our non-core subsidiary and income from the discontinued operations, net of tax, of $4.2 million.

Management Commentary

Jason Young, CEO, commented, “Similar to last quarter, we saw increased progress in growing our organic sales, which is primarily a product of our new customer driven culture.  We also continue to make headway in growing our market share, as we focus on building strategic relationships with key customers.  While margins continue to be muted due to the start-up costs and drag associated with the launch of new programs, we expect margins to improve as these programs move to full production.  The biggest opportunity for us now, is to increase capacity in our new product development, so we can more quickly and efficiently launch the new opportunities that have resulted from our customer driven approach.  At this point, given the sales pipeline we have built, a key driver of our increased growth will be our ability to accelerate and expand new product launches, a challenge we are committed to solving.”

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation

EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Earnings Per Share are non-GAAP financial measures.  EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are calculated by dividing EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, respectively, by sales.  The Company has provided non-GAAP financial information to provide additional, meaningful comparisons of current results to prior periods’ results by excluding items that the Company does not believe are representative or indicative of its results of operations.  Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.  The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures, and should be read only in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The reconciliation to GAAP is as follows (dollars in thousands):

		October 2,		September 27,
For the three months ended:		2016		2015
Net Income (Loss)	$	3,607		$	(441)
Interest Expense, Net		1,107			1,140
Income Taxes		217			(426)
Depreciation and Amortization, from Continuing Operations		2,362			2,362
EBITDA	$	7,293		$	2,635
EBITDA Margin		27.2	%		11.2	%
Share-Based Compensation Expense		312			—
Adjustment to Exclude EBITDA from Discontinued Operations		(5,748)			—
Reorganization/Transaction Expenses		1,088			9
Adjusted EBITDA	$	2,945		$	2,644
Adjusted EBITDA Margin		11.0	%		11.2	%
Net Income (Loss)	$	3,607		$	(441)
Share-Based Compensation Expense		312			—
Adjustment to Exclude Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax		(4,187)			—
Reorganization/Transaction Expenses		1,088			9
Adjusted Earnings	$	820		$	(432)
Adjusted Earnings Per Share	$	0.05		$	(0.02)
Weighted Average Common Shares Outstanding		18,123,883			18,123,883

EBITDA excludes interest expense, net and income taxes because these items are associated with our capitalization and tax structures.  EBITDA also excludes depreciation and amortization expense because these non-cash expenses reflect the impact of prior capital expenditure decisions which may not be indicative of future capital expenditure requirements.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding the impact of share-based compensation expense and reorganization/transaction expenses, which is in accordance with the Company’s bank debt covenants.  Shared-based compensation expense relates to the Company’s grant of stock options to employees.  Reorganization expenses are primarily labor and labor related costs associated with the termination of employees and inventory write-downs as allowed by the Company’s bank debt covenants.  Transaction expenses are primarily professional fees related to the refinancing of debt and the sale of non-core assets.

Adjusted Earnings removes the impact of share-based compensation expense and reorganization/transaction related expenses.
