MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(The following should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.)
OVERVIEW
Astronics Corporation (“Astronics” or the “Company”) is a leading supplier of advanced technologies and products to the global aerospace and defense industries. Our products and services include advanced, high-performance electrical power generation and distribution systems, seat motion solutions, lighting and safety systems, avionics products, aircraft structures, systems certification, and automated test systems.
Our Aerospace segment designs and manufactures products for the global aerospace industry. Product lines include lighting and safety systems, electrical power generation, distribution and motions systems, aircraft structures, avionics products, systems certification, and other products. Our Aerospace customers are the airframe manufacturers (“OEM”) that build aircraft for the commercial, military and general aviation markets, suppliers to those OEM’s, aircraft operators such as airlines, suppliers to the aircraft operators, and branches of the U.S. Department of Defense. Our Test Systems segment designs, develops, manufactures and maintains automated test systems that support the aerospace and defense, communications and mass transit test systems as well as training and simulation devices for both commercial and military applications. In the Test Systems segment, Astronics’ products are sold to a global customer base including OEM's and prime government contractors for both electronics and military products.
Our strategy is to increase our value by developing technologies and capabilities, either internally or through acquisition, and using those capabilities to provide innovative solutions to our targeted markets where our technology can be beneficial.
Important factors affecting our growth and profitability are the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the timing and extent of recovery (as discussed more fully below), the rate at which new aircraft are produced, government funding of military programs, our ability to have our products designed into new aircraft and the rates at which aircraft owners, including commercial airlines, refurbish or install upgrades to their aircraft. New aircraft build rates and aircraft owners spending on upgrades and refurbishments is cyclical and dependent on the strength of the global economy. Once designed into a new aircraft, the spare parts business is frequently retained by the Company. Future growth and profitability of the test business is dependent on developing and procuring new and follow-on business. The nature of our Test Systems business is such that it pursues large multi-year projects. There can be significant periods of time between orders in this business which may result in large fluctuations of sales and profit levels and backlog from period to period.
Acquisitions and Divestitures
On February 13, 2019, the Company completed a divestiture of its semiconductor test business within the Test Systems segment. The total proceeds of the divestiture amounted to $103.8 million. The Company recorded a pre-tax gain on the sale of $80.1 million in the first quarter of 2019. The income tax expense relating to the gain was $19.7 million.
On July 1, 2019, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Freedom Communication Technologies, Inc. (“Freedom”). Freedom, located in Kilgore, Texas, is a leader in wireless communication testing, primarily for the civil land mobile radio market. Freedom is included in our Test Systems segment. The total consideration for the transaction was $21.8 million, net of $0.6 million in cash acquired.
On July 12, 2019, the Company sold intellectual property and certain assets associated with its Airfield Lighting product line for $1.0 million in cash. The Airfield Lighting product line, part of the Aerospace segment, represented less than 1% of revenue. The Company recorded a pre-tax loss on the sale of approximately $1.3 million.
On October 4, 2019, the Company acquired the stock of the primary operating subsidiaries as well as certain other assets from mass transit and defense market test solution provider, Diagnosys Test Systems Limited, for $7.0 million in cash, plus earn-outs estimated at a fair value of $2.5 million. Diagnosys Inc. and its affiliates (“Diagnosys”) is included in our Test Systems segment. Diagnosys is a developer and manufacturer of comprehensive automated test equipment providing test, support, and repair of high value electronics, electro-mechanical, pneumatic and printed circuit boards focused on the global mass transit and defense markets. The terms of the acquisition allow for a potential earn-out of up to an additional $13.0 million over the three years post acquisition based on achievement of new order levels of over $72.0 million during that period. The acquired business has operations in Westford, Massachusetts as well as Ferndown, England, and an engineering center of excellence in Bangalore, India.

lived asset impairment charges of $87.0 million in the Aerospace segment were recognized in the current year due to reduced expectations of future operating results due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has significantly impacted the global economy, and particularly the aerospace industry. The Company recognized full impairments of the goodwill of our Astronics Connectivity Systems and Certification (“ACSC”), PGA and Custom Control Concepts (“CCC”) reporting units, and a partial impairment of the goodwill of our PECO reporting unit. Total goodwill impairment losses were $86.3 million in the six months ended June 27, 2020.
The effective tax rate for the first half of was 3.4%, compared with 22.7% in the first half of 2019. The 2020 tax rate was impacted by permanently non-deductible goodwill impairments of $60.8 million and a Federal valuation allowance recorded during the six months ended June 27, 2020 of approximately $7.5 million.
Net loss was $90.5 million, or $(2.94) per diluted share, compared with net income of $84.9 million, or $2.56 per diluted share in the prior year. The after tax impact of the goodwill and long-lived asset impairment losses was $81.4 million, or $(2.64) per diluted share.
Impact of COVID-19 and Operational Adjustments
As previously disclosed, we face risks related to outbreaks of infectious diseases, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy increased significantly as the first half of 2020 progressed. COVID-19 has caused disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, and has authored an economic slowdown. In response to COVID-19, national and local governments around the world have instituted certain measures, including travel bans, prohibitions on group events and gatherings, shutdowns of certain businesses, curfews, shelter-in-place orders and recommendations to practice social distancing. Although our operations have been deemed essential and we follow the COVID-19 guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control (“CDC”) concerning the health and safety of our personnel, these measures have resulted in attenuating activity and, in some cases, required temporary closures of certain of our facilities, among other impacts. The duration of these measures is unknown, may be extended and additional measures may be imposed.
In response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, we have implemented actions to maintain the health of our employees as well as our financial health and liquidity. These actions include:
• Implementing social distancing measures, the use of masks, restricting visitors and unnecessary travel, and working from home whenever possible;
• Workforce reduction activities to align capacity with expected demand, reducing headcount by approximately 20% to approximately 2,300 employees currently;
• Eliminated consultants and temporary labor where possible;
• Implemented significant cost conservation measures;
• Suspending cash bonus plans and wage adjustments;
• Amended our revolving credit facility on May 4, 2020, as further described in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section below;
• Suspending share repurchases;
• Reducing capital spending to $8 million from an initial plan of $20 to $25 million; and
• Restrictions on marketing, trade shows, travel and discretionary spending for the remainder of the year.
These reductions collectively are substantial, lowering our cost structure by an estimated $55 million to $60 million for the year, beginning in the second quarter.
Analysis of Impact on Demand by Markets
The Company continues to monitor demand from three revenue streams to analyze the potential impact of the pandemic to its business. The three revenue streams are (1) new airplane production and OE demand, (2) the aftermarket for commercial transport aircraft, and (3) defense and other government markets.
An estimated 55% of sales in 2019, or about $425 million, was driven by the production of new airplanes in the commercial transport and business jet markets. For Astronics, the commercial transport market is the more significant of the two. Major manufacturers in both markets have revised their production plans downward given the pandemic, typically on the order of 35% to 45%, which is somewhat more than initial reductions announced earlier in the COVID-19 crisis. This number is significantly complicated by the 737 MAX, which was one of the Company’s largest production programs in 2019 and remains grounded.

Another 25% of sales in 2019, or about $195 million, was to the aftermarket for commercial transport aircraft. These sales were primarily for inflight entertainment/connectivity and passenger power systems (“IFE”) that were sold to airlines and aircraft leasing companies. This market is holding up better than initially anticipated. The current run rate has been about 50% of last year’s demand level.
Approximately 20% of Astronics’ revenue in 2019, or about $145 million, was to the defense or other government markets. This was comprised of the majority of the Test business and certain military aircraft programs. Demand in these end markets has not been affected by the pandemic and instead shows relative strength.
Additionally, Astronics has initiated efforts to develop new revenue streams that are technically attractive and complementary to existing engineering and manufacturing skill sets. These initiatives are expected to contribute up to $20 million in revenue in the second half of 2020.
Evaluating the demand from these revenue streams, and considering first half actual results, Astronics expects a significant decline in 2020 sales, perhaps to the range of $500 million to $525 million .
Outlook
As discussed above, the Company believes that, given its assumptions on the economic impacts of COVID-19 on its revenue streams in its Aerospace business, consolidated revenue could be in the range of $500 million to $525 million. Given the fluidity of the situation with the pandemic and local, state, and national government responses, other outcomes, both positive and negative, are very possible. Management believes it has structured the Company to be cash positive at this level
Capital expenditures for 2020 are expected to be approximately $8 million, reduced from initial plans of $20 million to $25 million for the year. The reduction reflects the change in tooling and equipment capacity requirements for certain programs that were either postponed or cancelled, as well as the deferral or cancellation of discretionary investments.
Consolidated backlog at June 27, 2020 was $307.2 million. Approximately 58% of the backlog is expected to ship in 2020.
The effective tax benefit rate for 2020 is expected to be in the range of 2% to 6%.
The ultimate impact of COVID-19 on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows is dependent on future developments, including the duration of the pandemic and the related length of its impact on the global economy and specifically on the markets we are active in, which is uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. See Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors, for an additional discussion of risk related to COVID-19.
SEGMENT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND OUTLOOK
Operating profit, as presented below, is sales less cost of products sold and other operating expenses, excluding interest expense and other corporate expenses. Cost of products sold and other operating expenses are directly identifiable to the respective segment. Operating profit is reconciled to earnings before income taxes in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in this report.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Operating Activities:
Cash provided by operating activities totaled $41.5 million for the first six months of 2020, as compared with $9.1 million cash provided by operating activities during the same period in 2019. Cash flow from operating activities increased compared with the same period of 2019 primarily due to the change in net operating assets compared with the prior period as well as the net non-cash effect on net income of the goodwill impairment loss in the first six months of 2020 compared to the net non-cash effect on net income of the gain from sale of the semiconductor business in the first six months of 2019.
Investing Activities:
Cash used for investing activities was $2.3 million for the first six months of 2020 compared with $96.9 million in cash provided by investing activities in the same period of 2019. The change compared to the prior-year period was a result of the $103.8 million in proceeds from the divestiture of the semiconductor business in 2019, slightly offset with a decrease in capital expenditures in the first half of 2020 compared with 2019. The Company expects capital spending in 2020 to be approximately $8 million.
Financing Activities:
The primary financing activities in the first six months of 2020 related to net payments on our senior credit facility of $15.0 million. The primary financing activities in the first six months of 2019 related to net payments on our senior credit facility of $105.0 million.
The Company's Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”) provided for a $500 million revolving credit line with the option to increase the line by up to $150 million. The maturity date of the loans under the Agreement is February 16, 2023. The maximum permitted leverage ratio of funded debt, net of cash to Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Agreement) was 3.75 to 1, increasing to 4.50 to 1 for up to four fiscal quarters following the closing of an acquisition permitted under the Agreement, subject to limitations. The Company paid interest on the unpaid principal amount of the facility at a rate equal to one-, three- or six-month LIBOR plus between 1.00% and 1.50% based upon the Company’s leverage ratio. The Company also paid a commitment fee to the lenders in an amount equal to between 0.10% and 0.20% on the undrawn portion of the credit facility, based upon the Company’s leverage ratio.
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the global economy, and particularly the aerospace industry, resulting in reduced expectations of the Company’s future operating results. As a result, the Company was projected to exceed its maximum permitted leverage ratio in the fourth quarter of 2020. Accordingly, on May 4, 2020, the Company executed an amendment to the Agreement (the “Amended Facility”), which reduced the revolving credit line from $500 million to $375 million. There remains the option to increase the line by up to $150 million. The Amended Facility suspends the application of the leverage ratio up through and including the second quarter of 2021 (the “suspension period”). The maximum net leverage ratio will be 6.00 to 1 for the third quarter of 2021, 5.50 to 1 for the fourth quarter of 2021, 4.50 to 1 for the first quarter of 2022, and return to 3.75 to 1 for each quarter thereafter.
At June 27, 2020, there was $173.0 million outstanding on the revolving credit facility and there remained $200.5 million available subject to the minimum liquidity covenant discussed below, net of outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees. The credit facility allocates up to $20 million of the $375 million revolving credit line for the issuance of letters of credit, including certain existing letters of credit. At June 27, 2020, outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees totaled $1.5 million.
Through the third quarter of 2021, the Amended Facility requires the Company to maintain minimum liquidity, defined as unrestricted cash plus the unused revolving credit commitments, of $180 million at all times, and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 1.75x on a quarterly basis, except for the first quarter of 2021, which is set at 1.50x. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants at June 27, 2020. During the suspension period, the Company will pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Amended Facility at a rate equal to one-, three- or six-month LIBOR (which shall be at least 1.00%) plus 2.25%. The Company will also pay a commitment fee to the lenders in an amount equal to 0.35% on the undrawn portion of the Amended Facility. After the suspension period, the Company will pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Amended Facility at a rate equal to one-, three- or six-month LIBOR (which shall be at least 1.00%) plus between 1.00% to 2.25% based upon the Company’s leverage ratio. The Company will also pay a commitment fee to the lenders in an amount equal to 0.10% to 0.35% on the undrawn portion of the Amended Facility, based upon the Company’s leverage ratio. The Amended Facility provides for the payment of a consent fee of 15 basis points of the commitment for each consenting lender.

Table of Contents
The Amended Facility also temporarily restricts certain activities, including acquisitions and share repurchases, and requires mandatory prepayments during the suspension period when the Company’s cash balance exceeds $100 million. During the three months ended June 27, 2020, subsequent to the execution of the Amended Facility, the Company made prepayments approximating $160 million.
The Company’s obligations under the Amended Facility are jointly and severally guaranteed by each domestic subsidiary of the Company other than non-material subsidiaries. The obligations are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ assets.
In the event of voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy of the Company or any subsidiary, all unpaid principal and other amounts owing under the Amended Facility automatically become due and payable. Other events of default, such as failure to make payments as they become due and breach of financial and other covenants, change of control, judgments over a certain amount, and cross default under other agreements give the agent the option to declare all such amounts immediately due and payable.
BACKLOG
The Company’s backlog at June 27, 2020 was $307.2 million compared with $359.6 million at December 31, 2019 and $379.7 million at June 29, 2019.

Interest on Long-term Debt — Future interest payments have been calculated using the applicable interest rate of each debt facility based on actual borrowings as of June 27, 2020. Actual future borrowings and rates may differ from these estimates.
Purchase Obligations — Purchase obligations are comprised of the Company’s commitments for goods and services in the normal course of business.
Lease Obligations — Financing and operating lease obligations are primarily related to the Company's facility leases and interest.
Other Liabilities — Table excludes the $16.4 million accrual recorded as management's best estimate of damages related to Lufthansa’s indirect sales claim in Germany, as discussed in Part 1 Financial Information, Item 1 Financial Statements, Note 15, Legal Proceedings, as this will not become a contractual obligation until the appeals process is complete and amount of damages has been finalized.
MARKET RISK
The Company believes that there have been no material changes in the current year regarding the market risk information for its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. Although the majority of our sales, expenses and cash flows are transacted in U.S. dollars, we have exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to the Euro and the Canadian dollar. The Company believes that the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates in 2020 have not been significant.
