Kaman Reports 2006 Third Quarter, Nine-Month Results

    BLOOMFIELD, Conn., Oct. 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Kaman Corp.
(Nasdaq: KAMN; NGM) today reported financial results for the third quarter
and nine months ended September 29, 2006.
    Net earnings for the third quarter of 2006 were $8.7 million, or $0.36
per share diluted, compared to a loss of $3.6 million, or $0.16 loss per
share diluted in the third quarter of 2005. Results for the 2006 third
quarter include additional loss reserves of $2.5 million needed to cover
anticipated costs to complete the company's SH-2G(A) helicopter contract
for Australia. The 2005 third quarter loss was attributed to three
previously reported factors totaling $16.5 million, including deductible
and non-deductible expenses for stock appreciation rights, legal and
financial expenses related to the company's recapitalization, and a charge
for the Australia program. Net sales for the third quarter of 2006
increased to $307.6 million, compared to $278.1 million in the prior year
quarter. The company paid a quarterly dividend at the existing rate of
$0.125 per share.
    For the first nine months of 2006 the company reported net earnings of
$22.1 million, or $0.91 per share diluted, compared to net earnings of $3.9
million, or $0.17 per share diluted in the first nine months of 2005. The
2006 nine-month results include charges of $7.8 million taken for the
Australia program. Nine-month net sales for 2006 grew to $897.2 million,
compared to $812.7 million in the 2005 period.
    Paul R. Kuhn, chairman, president and chief executive officer, said,
"We are pleased with the performance of Kaman Corporation in the third
quarter of 2006: The Aerospace and Industrial Distribution segments both
achieved higher levels of sales, operating income and operating margins in
the quarter and nine-month periods of 2006 compared to the same periods of
2005. The Music segment also generated higher sales and operating earnings
for the 2006 third quarter compared to the 2005 third quarter, but this was
largely due to the addition of Musicorp, an acquisition completed in August
2005. The Music segment has been affected by a downturn in consumer
spending this year, and the nine-month operating results for 2006 were
lower than for the 2005 period. Overall, however, the generally positive
tone in most of the markets served by the company contributed to our strong
performance. The improvement in results also reflects the important
benefits of ongoing efforts to reduce costs, increase efficiencies and
exploit organic and acquisition growth opportunities."

    REPORT BY SEGMENT

    Aerospace Segment
    The Aerospace segment generated 2006 third quarter operating income of
$11.8 million, compared to an operating loss of $0.3 million in the third
quarter of 2005. The 2006 and 2005 third quarters include $2.5 million and
$11.0 million respectively in pretax charges for additional loss reserves
needed to cover anticipated costs to complete the company's SH-2G(A)
helicopter program for Australia. The third quarter 2005 operating results
also include collection of $1.4 million of receivables from MD Helicopters,
Inc. that had previously been written off. Segment sales for the 2006 third
quarter were $85.4 million, compared to $70.6 million in the 2005 period.
    For the 2006 nine-month period, the segment had operating income of
$32.5 million, compared to income of $16.8 million in the 2005 nine-month
period. The 2006 nine-month results include the impact of $7.8 million in
pretax charges for the Australia helicopter program, while the 2005
nine-month results include $14.3 million in charges for the Australia
program and the $1.4 million payment from MD Helicopters. Segment sales for
the first nine months of 2006 were $233.4 million, compared to $212.4
million in the 2005 period.
    Mr. Kuhn said, "Each of the segment's principal business units,
including the Helicopters division (before charges associated with the
Australia program), operated profitably in the quarter and nine-month
periods. The Aerospace segment remains in transition with important tasks
yet to be completed, including our Australian SH-2G(A) helicopter program,
the continuing work to bring the Joint Programmable Fuze (JPF) program
fully on line, and efforts to increase the overall business base. We
believe we have made good progress in all of these areas."
    A discussion covering each of the segment's business units follows.
    Aerostructures Division:
    The Aerostructures Division had net sales of $21.5 million in the 2006
third quarter, compared to $14.7 million in the 2005 third quarter. Sales
for the first nine months of 2006 were $55.4 million, compared to $41.1
million in the 2005 period.
    The Aerostructures Division produces subcontract assemblies and detail
parts for commercial and military aircraft programs, including various
models of Boeing commercial airliners, the Boeing C-17 military transport,
the Sikorsky BLACK HAWK helicopter and several other programs. Operations
involving the use of metals are conducted principally at the company's
Jacksonville facility, while operations involving the use of composite
materials are conducted primarily at the company's Wichita facility.
    At the Jacksonville facility, work proceeded on the production of
structural wing sub-assemblies for the C-17, which is currently scheduled
to conclude by mid-2007. In August, Boeing informed the company that it
anticipates the government ordering an additional 18 aircraft, which could
extend the program through 2008. The company also continued production of
cockpits for the Sikorsky BLACK HAWK helicopter. In the third quarter of
2006, Sikorsky ordered additional cockpits, bringing the total contract to
an estimated value to date of approximately $38 million. This multi-year
contract has follow-on options that, if fully exercised, could lead to the
fabrication of up to a total of 349 units and bring the total potential
value to approximately $100.0 million or more depending upon the models
that are ultimately ordered.
    At the division's Wichita facility, work has commenced on a $15.0
million, multi-year contract awarded by Spirit AeroSystems on April 1,
2006, for production of the composite flight deck floor for the Boeing 787
Dreamliner. Work also continued to bring on line previously announced
orders from Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation involving MH-92 helicopters and
Shenyang Aircraft Corporation involving the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, while
production continued on commercial and military aircraft composite programs
for Boeing, Bell Helicopter, and others.
    Fuzing Division:
    The Fuzing Division had net sales in the third quarter of 2006 of $21.4
million, compared to $15.5 million a year ago. Net sales for the 2006 nine-
month period were $53.2 million, compared to $43.2 million in the 2005
period. The sales increase for the quarter is primarily due to higher
production volume and shipments at the Middletown, Connecticut facility for
both fuzing and memory programs. Year to date, the JPF program at the
Dayron facility in Orlando, Florida also experienced an increase in sales
which essentially offset reduced sales caused by a production interruption
on the 40MM program at the Dayron facility that occurred earlier in the
year.
    Generally, revenue on fuzing programs is recorded on delivery of the
product to the customer. Most Fuzing Division programs require fuzes to be
shipped in lots that take longer than three months to produce, and sales
for the various programs will vary based on the number of lots that are
delivered during a quarter. Therefore quarter-to-quarter comparisons will
not always be meaningful.
    The division manufactures safe, arm and fuzing devices with missile-
related programs generally performed at its facility in Middletown and
bomb- related programs generally performed at its Dayron facilities. In
addition, the company manufactures precision measuring and mass memory
systems for a range of military and commercial applications at its
Middletown facility. Principal customers for the division include the U.S.
military, Boeing, General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin and Raytheon.
    The division has been working through a variety of issues related to
the manufacturing process on the JPF program. These issues have in the past
caused, and may continue to result in, periodic interruption of program
production. The division continues to work on strengthening the reliability
of its supply chain and improving material flow on the JPF program in order
to meet production requirements. The current total value of JPF contracts
with the U.S. Government from inception to date is $76.9 million. The
company believes that deliveries to the U.S. and foreign militaries will
increase, that operating efficiencies will continue to improve and that the
JPF program will be increasingly important to the company in the years
ahead.
    Helicopters Division:
    The Helicopters Division had net sales of $15.4 million in the third
quarter of 2006, compared to $16.8 million in the 2005 third quarter.
Division net sales for the first nine months of 2006 were $42.1 million,
compared to $55.3 million in the 2005 nine-month period. Results for 2005
include $10.9 million from the sale of three K-MAX helicopters but there
have been no sales of K-MAX aircraft in 2006. Operations are conducted
primarily from the Bloomfield facilities.
    The division continues to support and market its 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 markets its helicopter engineering expertise
and performs subcontract programs for other manufacturers.
    The task of completing the long-delayed SH-2G(A) helicopter program for
Australia progressed as Formal Qualification Testing (FQT) on the software
for the Integrated Tactical Avionics System (ITAS) continued at the
software facilities of our subcontractor, Computer Sciences Corporation
(CSC) - Australia, in Sydney. Concurrently, the company has continued to
work with the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) to resolve previously reported
flight safety questions that resulted in the grounding of the aircraft
earlier this year. There is a significant history of safe and reliable
operations with this aircraft type with several nations, including the
United States, and the company believes that the cause of the safety
concern has been rectified. The RAN also continues to develop additional
work scope related to their certification requirements and the division is
working with the RAN to address these scope changes. In addition, the
company is supporting a previously reported review by the Australian
Minister of Defence regarding the possibility of the Commonwealth pursuing
an alternative to the Kaman program. The company believes that the current
program is the most efficient and cost effective method to achieve the
RAN's operational needs and is hopeful that the Commonwealth will confirm
its intent to complete the program following receipt of the Minister's
recommendations (which is expected in November). Once all of the foregoing
items are satisfactorily completed, it is anticipated that the acceptance
process for the fully capable helicopter will get underway.
    The division is also continuing work under a contract to provide depot
level maintenance for SH-2G(E) helicopters delivered to the government of
Egypt during the 1990s. Currently four aircraft are subject to the
contract, which was initially valued at $5.3 million and since increased by
approximately $2.0 million for additional work. The first two aircraft have
been completed and returned to the customer and work is now underway on the
third and fourth aircraft. In addition, in June 2006 the company received a
$3.6 million contract from the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) to
provide for long-lead procurement and other work related to planned
upgrades to the Egyptian aircraft.
    In July 2006, the Helicopters Division received a $3.1 million contract
modification from the Army Material Research Development and Engineering
Command for follow-on work to the BURRO Unmanned Resupply Helicopter,
utilizing the K-MAX. The funding covers work to enhance features of the
automatic flight control system and to support BURRO participation in Army
demonstrations. Separately, BURRO has been selected to participate in an
Army-sponsored demonstration now underway at Ft. Benning, Georgia, during
which promising new technologies are being evaluated for introduction into
the Army.
    Kamatics:
    Kamatics (including RWG, the company's German aircraft bearing
manufacturing arm) generated net sales of $26.2 million in the third
quarter of 2006, compared to $22.8 million in the same period a year ago.
Net sales for the nine-month period of 2006 were $79.8 million, compared to
$68.6 million in the 2005 period. 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.
    Business conditions and product mix continued to be favorable for
Kamatics and RWG during the quarter. Sales were strong into the commercial
jet liner market, the commercial aftermarket, the regional jet makers and
the commercial engine market. The company continues to see opportunities
for further growth in these markets and is in the process of adding
approximately 35,000 square feet of additional capacity at the Bloomfield
facility to accommodate the business. Of this, 25,000 square feet was
completed and occupied in mid- October 2006, with the remainder scheduled
to come on line during the second quarter of 2007.
    Other Aerospace Matters:
    The EODC in Tucson generated the balance of segment sales consisting of
approximately $1.0 million for the third quarters of 2006 and 2005, and
$2.8 million and $4.2 million for the nine-month periods of 2006 and 2005
respectively.
    On July 31, 2006, the company submitted an Offer to Purchase (OTP) to
NAVAIR and the General Services Administration for the potential purchase
of the portion of the Bloomfield campus that the company currently leases
from NAVAIR and has operated for several decades for the principal purpose
of performing U.S. government contracts. Management understands that the
OTP is proceeding through the U.S. government's formal review process.
    Industrial Distribution Segment
    The Industrial Distribution segment had operating income of $8.5
million for the third quarter of 2006, compared to $5.2 million in the
third quarter of 2005. Net sales for the segment were $166.7 million in the
third quarter of 2006, compared to $156.5 million in the 2005 period.
    For the 2006 nine-month period, the segment had operating income of
$28.7 million, compared to $22.1 million in the first nine months of 2005.
Net sales for the first nine months of 2006 were $507.8 million, compared
to $469.9 million in the 2005 period. In the first quarter of 2006, an
adjustment of $1.6 million was taken to capitalize in-bound freight into
inventory; this adjustment increased operating income for the first quarter
and nine-month periods by that amount.
    Mr. Kuhn commented, "The Industrial Distribution segment extended its
strong performance into the third quarter with solid year over year gains
in sales and operating income. This segment's sales performance is highly
influenced by the strength of the U.S. industrial economy, typically with
increased margins on incremental sales. This past quarter, we were affected
by a downturn in new home construction, but benefited from robust sales to
the energy and raw materials industries. Overall, U.S. industrial
production remains in positive territory but is showing signs of having
peaked. We are currently expanding our efforts to increase business in the
coal mining, oil exploration and petroleum production industries, while the
typically less cyclical food processing industry remains an area of
strategic focus for the segment."
    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
almost two 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
    The Music segment had third quarter operating income of $3.8 million
for 2006, compared to $3.4 million in the third quarter of 2005. Segment
net sales for the 2006 third quarter were $55.5 million, including $14.1
million from the August 2005 acquisition of Musicorp, compared to $51.0
million in the third quarter of 2005, including $10.7 million from the
Musicorp acquisition.
    For the first nine months of 2006, the segment had operating income of
$6.7 million, compared to $7.8 million in the 2005 nine-month period. Net
sales for the first nine months of 2006 were $156.0 million, including
$37.4 million from the Musicorp acquisition, compared to $130.4 million for
the first nine months of 2005, including $10.7 million from the Musicorp
acquisition. The lower operating income for the 2006 nine-month period
results from a lower gross margin driven by lower sales volume. Musicorp's
customer base of smaller retailers has been more adversely affected by the
industry's sales downturn than the larger regional and national retailers,
resulting in lower sales than anticipated for Musicorp. The integration of
Musicorp continued with the closing of a third Musicorp warehouse in July
2006. In addition, certain planned personnel reductions were accelerated to
achieve further operational benefits.
    Mr. Kuhn said, "Following the music industry's traditionally soft
second quarter, which was even softer than expected in 2006, we entered the
third quarter with concerns that a decline in consumer confidence would
negatively impact this year's back-to-school and holiday season sales. The
beginning of the third quarter justified these concerns and, while we had a
strong September, we would still like to see more signs of improved
consumer optimism as the holiday selling season approaches."
    Kaman is the largest independent distributor of musical instruments in
the United States, offering more than 20,000 products for amateurs and
professionals. Operations are headquartered in Bloomfield, Connecticut and
conducted from manufacturing plants in New Hartford, Connecticut and
Scottsdale, Arizona, and from strategically placed warehouse facilities and
offices that cover the North American market.
    Concluding Remark
    Mr. Kuhn concluded, "Kaman's strong performance in the third quarter of
2006 was supported by generally good market conditions for major portions
of the business. Additionally, the company is being increasingly benefited
by the work we have done and continue to do to position each of our three
segments for growth and improved operating performance. Kaman is more cost
competitive than it had been, is more focused on markets that provide what
we think are the best opportunities for growth, and has considerable
financial flexibility to pursue these opportunities."
