Cautionary Language
The preliminary unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2025 presented herein are based on information available to management as of the date of this release. These preliminary unaudited results are subject to changes, that may be material, in connection with completion of the Company's standard year-end closing procedures and the completion of our independent registered public accounting firm's year-end audit.
Safe Harbor Statement
This news release contains forward-looking statements as defined by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. One can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of the words "expect," "anticipate," "plan," "may," "will," "estimate" or other similar expressions and include all statements with regard to preliminary unaudited revenue, adjusted EBITDA margin, bookings and 2026 revenue outlook. Because such statements apply to future events, they are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from what may be stated here include the trend in growth with passenger power and connectivity on airplanes, the state of the aerospace and defense industries, the market acceptance of newly developed products, internal production capabilities, the timing of orders received, the status of customer certification processes and delivery schedules, the demand for and market acceptance of new or existing aircraft which contain the Company's products, the need for new and advanced test and simulation equipment, customer preferences and relationships, and other factors which are described in filings by Astronics with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as may be required by applicable law, the Company assumes no obligation to update forward-looking information in this news release whether to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes in future operating results, financial conditions or prospects, or otherwise.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Astronics provides Adjusted Non-GAAP information as additional information for its operating results. These measures are not required by, in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Astronics' management uses these measures for reviewing the financial results of Astronics for budget planning purposes and for making operational and financial decisions. Management believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures to investors, as a supplement to GAAP financial measures, help investors evaluate Astronics' core operating and financial performance and business trends consistent with how management evaluates such performance and trends.
The Company has included in this press release its preliminary, expected adjusted EBITDA margin, a non-GAAP financial measure. As noted above, the Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of preliminary expected adjusted EBITDA margin for the fourth quarter 2025 or full year 2025 to its most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure because sufficient information as to all of the necessary components of such GAAP measure is not available to management as of the date of this release, and therefore a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort.
Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by sales. The Company typically defines adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and other adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are not measures determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable with adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin as used by other companies. Nevertheless, the Company believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA margin, are important for investors and other readers of the Company's financial statements.
| ___________________________________ |
1 A reconciliation of financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures will be included in the full financial results expected to be reported on or about February 24, 2026. The Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of preliminary expected adjusted EBITDA margin for the fourth quarter 2025 or full year 2025 to its most directly comparable preliminary expected unaudited GAAP financial measure because sufficient information as to all of the necessary components of such GAAP financial measure is not available to management as of the date of this release, and therefore a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort. |
