BLOOMFIELD, Conn., Feb. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Kaman Corp.
(Nasdaq: KAMN) today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and
year ended December 31, 2005.
The company reported net earnings for the 2005 fourth quarter of $9.2
million, or $0.38 per share diluted, compared to $0.5 million, or $0.02 per
share diluted in the 2004 period. The 2005 fourth quarter results include a
$2.5 million pretax charge related to completion of the company's SH-2G
helicopter program for Australia. The quarter also includes $5.1 million in
pretax income resulting primarily from recoveries of certain past due amounts
that the company had written off in 2004 on programs with MD Helicopters, Inc.
(MDHI). The effective tax rate for the 2005 fourth quarter was 53.0 percent,
due primarily to certain non-deductible expenses described below. The 2004
fourth quarter results include a loss before income taxes of $2.5 million,
offset by a fourth quarter tax benefit of $3.0 million due to an adjustment in
the full-year effective tax benefit to 31.1 percent. Net sales for the 2005
fourth quarter were $288.5 million, compared to $256.2 million in the 2004
period.
For the 2005 full year, the company reported net earnings of $13.0
million, or $0.57 per share diluted, compared to a net loss of $11.8 million,
or $0.52 loss per share diluted, in 2004. Results for 2005 include the benefit
of $7.7 million in pretax income arising primarily from MDHI recoveries offset
by $16.8 million in pretax charges for the Australia helicopter program. The
2005 results also include the impact of $8.3 million of primarily
nondeductible expenses for stock appreciation rights triggered by a
significant increase in the price of Kaman stock in 2005 and $3.3 million in
nondeductible expenses for legal and financial advisory fees related to the
company's successful recapitalization effort. These non-deductible expenses
raised the effective 2005 tax rate to 54.8 percent. The 2004 loss was
primarily attributable to $41.6 million of previously disclosed adjustments
taken in the Aerospace segment. Net sales for the 2005 full year were $1.1
billion, compared to $995.2 million in 2004.
Paul R. Kuhn, chairman, president and CEO, said, "In 2005, the result of
years of effort came together for the good of our shareholders, and the many
accomplishments achieved during this period have enhanced Kaman's strong
foundation for future growth. Beyond our operational accomplishments during
the year, the single most important achievement in 2005 was the successful
completion of our corporate recapitalization in November. As a result of this
action, a single class of voting common stock has replaced the dual class
structure that had been in place. With each of our previously non-voting
Class A common shareholders and all future shareholders now having the
advantage of Kaman's new "one-share, one-vote" capital structure, I believe
there will be a greater opportunity for the value of the company to be better
reflected in the stock price, and that should make the benefits of the
recapitalization well worth the effort that went into making it possible. The
recapitalized company should now have even better access to growth capital."

REPORT BY SEGMENT
Aerospace Segment
The Aerospace segment had fourth quarter operating income of $16.4
million, compared to operating income of $1.2 million a year ago. The 2005
fourth quarter results include the impact of an additional $2.5 million pretax
charge for the SH-2G(A) helicopter program for Australia due to cost growth
associated with the completion of the program, and $0.7 million in pretax idle
facility and related costs. Results for the fourth quarter of 2005 also
include the benefit of $5.1 million in pretax income associated primarily with
the MDHI recoveries. The 2004 fourth quarter results include $10.8 million in
pretax charges taken to address various segment programs, and $0.9 million in
pretax idle facility and related costs. Segment sales for the 2005 fourth
quarter were $75.6 million, compared to $71.5 million in the 2004 period.
For the 2005 full year, the segment had operating income of $33.3 million,
compared to an operating loss of $14.3 million in 2004. The 2005 results
include the impact of $16.8 million in pretax charges taken against the
Australia program and $2.7 million in pretax idle facility and related costs;
along with the benefit of $7.7 million in pretax earnings associated primarily
with the MDHI recoveries. The 2004 full year results include the impact of
$41.6 million in negative pretax adjustments to certain Aerostructures, Fuzing
and Helicopters Divisions' programs and $3.3 million in pretax idle facility
and related costs. Segment sales for 2005 were $288.0 million, compared to
$252.4 million in 2004.
Mr. Kuhn said, "While we are still far from achieving the full potential
of the Aerospace segment, the performance of each of the operating units
provides the basis for optimism. Overall, the reorganization of the segment
undertaken in 2004 has provided meaningful enhancement to management
visibility and accountability, and has been an important enabler of the
progress we are making in this segment."
Quarterly and annual sales for 2005 and 2004 are presented net of
intercompany eliminations for each of the segment's operating units, excluding
the Electro-Optics Development Center, as follows:
1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter

Helicopters 21.4 20.0 76.7 67.0
Kamatics/RWG 23.6 19.0 92.2 77.1
Aerostructures Division:
The Aerostructures Division had net sales of $14.0 million in the fourth
quarter of 2005, compared to $13.3 million the previous year. Net sales for
2005 were $55.0 million, compared to $45.4 million in the 2004 period.
The Aerostructures Division produces subcontract assemblies and detail
parts for commercial and military aircraft programs, including several models
of Boeing commercial airliners, the C-17 military transport (on contract
through mid-2007), which remained the division's largest program for the
quarter, and the Sikorsky BLACK HAWK helicopter. Operations are conducted
from the Jacksonville, Florida and Wichita, Kansas facilities.
Operations at the Jacksonville facility continued to improve in the fourth
quarter with progress on manufacturing throughput and efficiencies, and the
division has begun to ramp up production of cockpits for the Sikorsky BLACK
HAWK helicopter. As previously reported, the initial contract, awarded in the
third quarter of 2004, covers 80 cockpits for production through 2006, and has
a value of $26.4 million. Follow-on options, if fully exercised, would bring
the total potential value to Kaman to approximately $100.0 million and would
include the fabrication of 349 cockpits. Delivery of cockpits to Sikorsky
began in April 2005, and is on schedule. Sixteen cockpits had been delivered
as of December 31, 2005.
In January 2006, the company's Plastic Fabricating Company (PlasticFab) in
Wichita received a $20.5 million multi-year contract from the Shenyang
Aircraft Corporation of Shenyang, China. PlasticFab will manufacture metal
and composite bonded panels for the vertical fin leading edge, which will be
part of the Shenyang Aircraft Corporation supplied vertical fin on the new
Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Initial deliveries are scheduled to begin in the third
quarter of 2006. Also in January 2006, PlasticFab received a $6.7 million
award from Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation to manufacture and assemble composite
tail rotor pylons for its MH-92 helicopters which will be operated by the
Canadian Maritime Defence Forces as CH-148 Cyclones. Initial deliveries of
developmental test units for this program are also expected to begin in the
third quarter of 2006.
Fuzing Division:
The Fuzing Division had net sales in the 2005 fourth quarter of $15.1
million, compared to $20.7 million a year ago. Net sales for the 2005 full
year were $58.4 million, compared to $56.8 million in 2004. Principal
operations are conducted at the Middletown, Connecticut and Orlando, Florida
(Dayron) facilities.
The division manufactures safe, arm and fuzing devices for major missile
(Middletown) and bomb (Orlando) programs as well as precision measuring and
mass memory systems (Middletown) for commercial and military applications.
Principal customers include the U. S. military, General Dynamics, Raytheon,
Lockheed Martin and Boeing.
The Middletown facility achieved sales growth in 2005 and performed well
on its programs. At the Orlando facility, the company continued to work on
material flow and manpower ramp-up to meet production requirements of its FMU-
152A/B Joint Programmable Fuze (JPF) contract with the U.S. Air Force.
During the fourth quarter, a technical issue was identified involving a
component of the fuze, delaying shipments in the quarter. Management believes
it has successfully addressed the issue. As previously reported, the contract
has a value of $38.1 million, with a potential value of $168.7 million if all
options for future years' production are exercised. In addition, the division
has received three small orders from foreign militaries. While the early
part of the program has been marginally unprofitable, management expects that
the program will become profitable as operating efficiencies improve,
deliveries to the U.S. military increase, and as further orders are received
from foreign militaries.
The division also continued to work toward resolution of two previously
reported fuzing product warranty issues at Dayron that affect the FMU-143
program. One issue involves a supplier's recall of a switch embedded in
certain Dayron bomb fuzes, and the second involves bomb fuzes manufactured for
the U.S. Army utilizing systems in place at the time Dayron was acquired by
Kaman that were subsequently found to contain an incorrect part. It is
currently expected that the work to satisfy the impacted customers will be
completed in 2006. Another Dayron program involving the FMU-139 fuze has been
delayed for over a year while our customer works out its technical issues with
its customer, the U.S. Government. Management expects that this issue will be
resolved in 2006 with deliveries on this program extending into 2008.
Helicopters Division:
The Helicopters Division had net sales of $21.4 million in the fourth
quarter of 2005, compared to $20.0 million in the 2004 period. Net sales for
the 2005 full year were $76.7 million, compared to $67.0 million in 2004.
Operations are conducted primarily from the Bloomfield, Connecticut
facilities.
The division supports and markets Kaman SH-2G maritime helicopters
operating with foreign militaries, and K-MAX "aerial truck" helicopters
operating with government and commercial customers in several countries. The
division also has other small manufacturing programs and markets its
helicopter engineering expertise on a subcontract basis.
SH-2G helicopters are operating with the governments of Egypt, New
Zealand, and Poland. The division is currently performing a standard depot
level maintenance program for aircraft delivered to Egypt in 1998. Work on
the first of nine aircraft has been completed, and work on the second aircraft
is underway at the Bloomfield facility. The company has a $5.3 million
contract covering maintenance work on the first two aircraft and an option for
the next two. The company is in discussions with the Egyptian government
concerning a maintenance program covering the remaining helicopters and
various upgrades to the aircraft.
Northrop Grumman and Computer Sciences Corporation continued to make
progress toward the completion of the Integrated Tactical Avionics System
(ITAS) software development and integration for the SH-2G(A) helicopter
program for Australia and in August 2005, commenced software testing
procedures in preparation for final quality acceptance. Based upon the
results of this testing, management has determined that additional work is
required prior to entering a final qualification phase that will conclude the
complex software acceptance process. As a result of this additional work,
along with continued work on the software integration task, the company
recorded $16.8 million in pretax charges in 2005, $2.5 million of which was
recorded in the fourth quarter of 2005. Delivery of the first fully
operational aircraft complete with the ITAS software is now targeted for mid
2006.
Late in the third quarter of 2005, the division received a $6.4 million
contract from Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. to assemble mechanical subassemblies for
various models of Sikorsky helicopters, including the UH-60 BLACK HAWK and S-
76. This work is now underway at the Bloomfield facility.
During the fourth quarter of 2005, Kaman continued to work with the U.S.
Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) and the General Services Administration
toward arriving at an agreement for the company's purchase of that portion of
the Bloomfield complex that it currently leases from NAVAIR. The company has
submitted an offer to NAVAIR and the General Services Administration detailing
its proposal, which includes, as consideration for such purchase, the company
undertaking certain environmental remediation activities that may be legally
required in the event of a sale of the property. The company also continues
to work with government and environmental authorities to prepare the closed
Moosup, Connecticut facility for eventual sale, and is cooperating with such
authorities in connection with a reclassification of groundwater in the
vicinity of the facility.
Kamatics Subsidiary:
Kamatics (including RWG, the company's German aircraft bearing
manufacturing arm) generated net sales of $23.6 million in the fourth quarter
of 2005, compared to $19.0 million in the 2004 period. Kamatics net sales for
the 2005 full year were a record $92.2 million, compared to $77.1 million in
2004. Operations are conducted at company facilities in Bloomfield,
Connecticut and Dachsbach, Germany.
Kamatics' proprietary self-lubricating bearings are currently in use in
almost all military and commercial aircraft produced in North and South
America and Europe, and are market-leading products for applications requiring
highly sophisticated engineering and specialization in the airframe bearing
market. Order activity from both Airbus and Boeing was strong in 2005, as it
was from other customers in both the commercial and military sectors, and
backlogs at the end of the year were at a record level. As order levels
increased, the subsidiary was able to increase production levels while
maintaining delivery schedules, leading to additional sales opportunities and
further penetration of the market.
Other Aerospace Matters:
The litigation instituted by the company against the University of Arizona
in September 2004 is currently scheduled for a jury trial in late March 2006.
The company's claim is for approximately $6.0 million, an amount that
management believes is owed to the Electro-Optics Development Center of Kaman
Aerospace Corporation as a result of work it performed beyond the scope of a
$12.8 million contract with the University and which the University refused to
address under the changes clause in the contract. The University had filed a
counterclaim in the suit for unspecified damages, but has recently indicated
in court papers that its current claim is in the range of $14.4 million.
Management is developing its analysis of the University's figures as part of
the litigation discovery process.
Industrial Distribution Segment
Net sales for the Industrial Distribution segment in the 2005 fourth
quarter were $152.0 million, compared to $141.6 million in the 2004 period.
The segment had operating income of $7.3 million in the fourth quarter of
2005, compared to $3.0 million in the 2004 period. The increase in operating
income was primarily attributable to increased sales activity and net
favorable year-end adjustments to certain accrued liabilities. The fourth
quarter 2004 operating income also includes higher incentive compensation
expense than the fourth quarter of 2005. Net sales for 2005 were a record
$621.9 million, compared to $581.8 in 2004. Operating income for 2005 was a
record $29.4 million, compared to $19.3 million in 2004.
Mr. Kuhn said, "As these financial results indicate, the segment continued
to compete well during 2005. The national accounts program continued to grow,
reflecting service excellence and resulting in new or expanded national
account contracts with Bimbo Bakeries, Birds Eye Foods, Cadbury Schweppes,
Chemical Lime Company, Del Monte Foods Company, Lehigh Cement Company, Mission
Foods, Monsanto and Tyco. In addition to benefiting from a strong focus on
delivering superior customer service and improving efficiency, the segment's
performance was boosted by continued strength in the industrial market in
2005. A strong market climate continued in the West region of the U.S. and
helped offset softness in Southern and Gulf Coast markets as they recovered
from the hurricanes of 2005. On balance, the market, as measured by the
industrial production index and domestic manufacturing plant capacity
utilization appears on track for stability in 2006."
During 2005, the Industrial Distribution segment continued to work with
key customers to identify opportunities to utilize the products it distributes
in ways that help them increase efficiency, reduce downtime and lower
production costs. This focus on providing innovative customer service is at
the core of the company's long-term strategy for building market share. At
the same time, the company continues to focus on geographic expansion and on
continuous improvement to drive efficiencies that benefit Kaman and its
customers. For the second year running, Kaman's distribution center order
accuracy rate was among the industry's highest, topping 99.97 percent.
Kaman is the third largest North American industrial distributor serving
the bearings, electrical/mechanical power transmission, fluid power, motion
control and materials handling markets. The segment offers more than 1.7
million items, as well as value-added services to a base of more than 50,000
customers spanning nearly every sector of industry. Segment operations are
headquartered in Windsor, Connecticut and conducted from approximately 200
locations in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
Music Segment
Net sales in the 2005 fourth quarter were $60.9 million, including $17.9
million from the August 2005 acquisition of Musicorp, compared to $43.1
million for the fourth quarter of 2004. The Music segment's fourth quarter
operating income was $5.2 million, compared to $4.3 million in the same
quarter of 2004. Net sales for 2005 were a record $191.3 million, including
$28.7 million from Musicorp, compared to $161.0 million in 2004. Operating
income for 2005 was also a record at $13.0 million, compared to $11.1 million
in 2004.
Mr. Kuhn said, "The important holiday sales season produced mixed results,
with retailers who aggressively promoted business, especially the large
chains, doing better than the typical smaller retailer. Although 2005 was a
difficult year for the music industry on the whole, the segment continued to
successfully implement a growth strategy that combines organic expansion with
targeted acquisitions. In 2005 the company signed an exclusive U.S.
distribution agreement with Sabian Cymbals, and the acquisition of Musicorp,
which had been the second largest independent U.S. distributor of musical
instruments and accessories after Kaman, put the company in an even stronger
position to take advantage of the logistical, technological and operational
efficiencies needed to succeed in the highly competitive musical instrument
market."
Kaman is the largest independent distributor of musical instruments and
accessories in the United States, offering more than 20,000 products for
amateurs and professionals. Operations are headquartered in Bloomfield,
Connecticut and conducted primarily from a manufacturing plant in New
Hartford, Connecticut and strategically placed warehouse facilities that cover
the North American markets. While the vast majority of Kaman's music sales
are to North American customers, the company continues to build its presence
in key international markets.
Concluding Statement
Mr. Kuhn concluded, "Although economic trends always affect our
operations, the strategies put in place several years ago and the progress we
have made since then should enable us to remain competitive in any normal
economic environment. With the recapitalization completed in 2005, new
customer wins, and the 'lean thinking' practices and operational improvements
instituted throughout the company, Kaman enters 2006 in tune with its markets
and with good prospects for the future.
