are clearly making progress towards our operational goals, though our results include the impact of expenses related to our July refinancing, a customer bankruptcy and a warranty reserve. All in all, we feel it was another quarter of progress as we continue to recover from the disruption of the past few years.”

Third Quarter 2024 Results (compared with the prior-year period, unless noted otherwise)
Consolidated sales were up $40.8 million, or 25.0%. Aerospace sales increased $35.5 million and Test Systems sales increased $5.3 million.
Gross profit increased $22.1 million to $42.7 million, or 21.0% of sales. Adjusted gross profit1 for the 2024 third quarter was $47.2 million, or 23.2% of sales. Third quarter gross profit was negatively impacted by a $3.5 million atypical warranty reserve related to a new product launch that requires a field modification, and a $0.9 million inventory reserve related to a bankruptcy filing for an Aerospace customer. The comparator quarter of 2023 included a $3.6 million write-down of inventory related to a separate customer bankruptcy.
Third quarter 2024 selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) included $1.3 million in reserves for outstanding receivables and fixed asset impairment related to the bankruptcy filing of an Aerospace customer compared to a separate bankruptcy reserve of $7.5 million against outstanding receivables in the prior year.
Despite the unusual impacts to gross profit and operating income, consolidated operating income increased $22.9 million to $8.4 million, or 4.1% of sales, compared with operating loss of $14.5 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted operating income1 for the 2024 third quarter was $19.6 million, or 9.6% of sales.
Improved operating income reflects the operating leverage gained on higher sales volume, partially offset by $4.5 million for resumed incentive programs, an increase of $1.9 million in litigation-related legal expenses and reserve adjustments in 2024 and a $3.2 million increase in non-bankruptcy related inventory reserves.
Third quarter 2024 expenses included a $3.2 million call premium on the previous term loan and the write-off of $3.8 million of associated deferred financing costs. The $7.0 million total has been reflected as Loss on Extinguishment of Debt.

Tax expense in the quarter was $6.6 million, primarily due to a valuation allowance applied against the deferred tax asset associated with research and development costs that are required to be capitalized for tax purposes.
Consolidated net loss was $11.7 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, measurably improved compared with the net loss of $17.0 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, in the prior year. Adjusted net income1 for the 2024 third quarter was $12.2 million, or $0.35 per diluted share.
Consolidated adjusted EBITDA1 increased to $27.1 million, or 13.3% of consolidated sales, compared with adjusted EBITDA1 of $8.8 million, or 5.4% of consolidated sales, in the prior-year period primarily as a result of increased profitability from higher sales.
Bookings were $189.2 million in the quarter resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of 0.93:1. For the trailing twelve months, bookings totaled $795.5 million and the book-to-bill ratio was 1.02:1.
Aerospace Segment Review (refer to sales by market and segment data in accompanying tables)
Aerospace Third Quarter 2024 Results (compared with the prior-year period, unless noted otherwise)
Aerospace segment sales increased $35.5 million, or 24.9%, to $177.6 million. The improvement was driven by a 31.6% increase, or $32.1 million, in Commercial Transport sales. Sales to this market were $133.9 million, or 65.8% of consolidated sales in the quarter, compared with $101.7 million, or 62.5% of consolidated sales in the third quarter of 2023. Growth was primarily related to increased demand by airlines for inflight entertainment & connectivity (“IFEC”) products which are in Electrical Power & Motion and Avionics product groups.
Military Aircraft sales increased $5.0 million, or 30.0%, to $21.7 million, driven by progress on the FLRAA program. General Aviation sales increased $1.9 million, or 11.6%, to $18.1 million due to higher VVIP sales. Other sales decreased $3.6 million as the Company is winding down its non-core contract manufacturing arrangements.
Aerospace segment operating profit of $14.3 million was up $21.7 million compared with operating loss of $7.5 million in the same period last year. Operating margin was 8.0%. Adjusted Aerospace operating profit1 was $25.3 million, an increase of $20.3 million, or over five times the prior-year period. Adjusted Aerospace operating margin1 expanded 10.7 points to 14.2% reflecting the leverage gained on higher volume and improving production efficiencies.
The segment’s operating profit in the third quarter of 2024 was impacted by $3.5 million in warranty expense related to the previously-mentioned field modification, $5.1 million in litigation-related legal expenses and reserve adjustments related to an ongoing patent dispute, $3.9 million in inventory reserves, $3.2 million in compensation expense related to the resumption of the Company’s incentive programs, and a non-cash reserve associated with a customer bankruptcy of $2.2 million.
Aerospace bookings were $173.6 million for a book-to-bill ratio of 0.98:1. Backlog for the Aerospace segment was $543.6 million at quarter end and excludes $9.3 million of backlog that was associated with the customer bankruptcy referred to previously.
Mr. Gundermann commented, “Our Aerospace business had a strong quarter, with sales up 24.9% over the comparator quarter and adjusted operating income1 achieving our targeted mid-teens level of 14.2%. We achieved this despite the Boeing strike, which hurt revenue in the quarter by about $2 million, with bookings impacted by approximately $7 million to $8 million. Given the measurably improved profitability, we are pleased with our Aerospace performance during the quarter.”

Test Systems Segment Review (refer to sales by market and segment data in accompanying tables)
Test Systems Third Quarter 2024 Results (compared with the prior-year period, unless noted otherwise)
Test Systems segment sales were $26.1 million, up $5.3 million. The improvement was driven by the U.S. Marine Corps’ Handheld Radio Test Sets (“HHRTS”) and the U.S. Army’s TS-4549/T programs, which contributed $5.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively, in sales during the quarter.
Test Systems segment operating loss was near break-even, compared with operating loss of $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2023. The improvement was the result of lower litigation-related legal expenses, partially offset by additional compensation expense from the resumption of the Company’s incentive programs. Test Systems continues to be negatively affected by mix and under absorption of fixed costs at current volume levels.
Additional restructuring initiatives were implemented in the 2024 fourth quarter. In October 2024, the Company offered a voluntary separation program which is currently expected to provide annualized savings of approximately $2 million, beginning in the first quarter of 2025. The Company expects to record severance expense of approximately $1 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 related to this initiative.
Bookings for the Test Systems segment in the quarter were $15.6 million. The book-to-bill ratio was 0.60:1 for the quarter. Backlog for the Test Systems segment was $68.2 million at quarter end.
Mr. Gundermann commented, “Our Test business had some success in the third quarter, with revenue up 25.6%. The business has initiated further restructuring to focus on the most critical initiatives going forward, including the radio test program for the U.S. Army, which is now expected to enter volume production in the second half of 2025.”
Liquidity and Financing
Cash provided by operations in the third quarter of 2024 was $8.5 million, primarily the result of increased net income, after adjusted for non-cash expenses.
Capital expenditures in the quarter were $1.9 million and $5.2 million year-to-date. Net debt was $174.6 million, up from $161.2 million at December 31, 2023.
On July 11, 2024, the Company announced it had amended and expanded its revolving line of credit and refinanced its term loan. The refinancing provided improved liquidity, lower cash costs, and greater financial flexibility for the Company. The refinancing was comprised of an expanded asset-based line of credit and a reduced, lower-cost term loan. Both mature in July 2027.
Legal Proceedings
Since 2010, the Company has been defending itself in a long-running series of patent infringement cases brought by a single plaintiff. Cases were filed in the United States, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom (UK).
The United States case was resolved in 2017, when the court found that the patent was not novel and was therefore invalid.
The French case similarly found that the subject patent was invalid, though the plaintiff is seeking to appeal that decision.

The German court dismissed some claims of the patent but upheld others and found that Astronics had been infringing. The Company has paid $3.5 million in penalties and interest to date and has taken a reserve of $17.3 million to cover estimated damages and associated interest. Damages proceedings in this case are likely to conclude in 2026.
Unlike in the US, French, and German proceedings, the UK court fully upheld the subject patent and found that the Company was infringing. A damages hearing was conducted in October 2024 and a ruling is expected later this year or early in 2025. Astronics reserved $7.4 million to cover anticipated damages, but the plaintiff is seeking damages of up to approximately $105 million, excluding interest. Based on UK legal practices, the Company expects that some amount of damages may be due in early 2025. The Company is engaged with its lenders to seek to arrange financing to cover the wide range of possible outcomes and satisfy any potential damages award as required.
The Company believes that permission will be granted to either or both of the parties to appeal the judgement to a higher court subsequently.
All patents related to the infringement cases have expired years ago and the lawsuits do not restrict the Company’s current business activities.
2024 Outlook
The Company expects fourth quarter sales of $190 million to $210 million and is adjusting its 2024 revenue guidance to $777 million to $797 million. The midpoint of this range would be a 14.2% increase over 2023 sales. Astronics considered the broad range of factors affecting the business, including the work stoppage at Boeing, in issuing its guidance.
Backlog at the end of the third quarter was $611.9 million. Planned capital expenditures in 2024 are expected to be in the range of $9 million to $11 million.
Mr. Gundermann commented, “We are closing in on another year of strong double-digit growth. Assuming we attain the mid-point of the range for 2024, we will have averaged 21% growth over each of the last three years. Our profitability has benefited from the growth and the many improvement initiatives we have implemented over the last several years, and we believe 2025 will see a continuation of these trends.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Metrics and Additional Financial Information
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. References to Adjusted Non-GAAP information are to non-GAAP financial measures. 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.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS are defined as net income and diluted EPS as reported, adjusted for certain items, including amortization of intangibles, and also adjusted for a normalized tax rate. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS are not measures determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable with the measures used by other companies.

The Company believes that presenting Adjusted Diluted EPS provides a better understanding of its earnings power inclusive of adjusting for the non-cash amortization of intangible assets, reflecting the Company’s strategy to grow through acquisitions as well as organically.

1 In October of 2024, a customer reported within the Aerospace segment declared bankruptcy. Aerospace and Total Backlog included $9.3 million related to that customer. In the table and bar chart presented above, Aerospace and Total Bookings was reduced by $9.3 million, in the periods in which the original bookings occurred. While the customer has not cancelled those orders and seeks to reorganize and continue operations, we have removed all outstanding backlog until additional information is available to confirm whether those orders are expected to be satisfied. For a customer bankruptcy that occurred during 2023, Aerospace and Total Bookings of $2.6 million and $17.2 million was removed in second and third quarters of 2021, respectively.
