Form 10-K for the year ended February 26, 2023

 

Forms 8-K Filed May 11, 2023

 

File No. 1-4415

 

Dear Ms. Hooker and Mr. Stertzel

 

We have reviewed the comments relating to the above filings presented in your letter dated December 19, 2023 to Mr. P. Matthew Farabaugh, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Park Aerospace Corp. Park’s responses to your comments are below:

 

Form 10-K filed May 12, 2023

 

Financial Statements

Note 4 - Income Taxes, page 48

 

Comment 1. Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements rate reconciliation includes a line item described as "ASC 740-10 change." I am confirming this line item relates to the change in uncertain tax positions.

 

In future filings we will modify the description to more clearly convey the nature of the adjustment.

 

Form 8-K Filed May 11, 2023

 

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures, page 6

 

Comment 2. We do feel our presentation of the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure can be easily followed by investors however, we will change our presentation in future filings to comply with your request. In future filings we will clearly reconcile from Net Earnings, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to Adjusted EBITDA to comply with your request.

 

Thank you for your consideration.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

/s/ P. Matthew Farabaugh
