American Defense Systems, Inc. (ADSI) (NYSE Amex: EAG), a provider of advanced transparent and opaque armor, architectural hardening and security products for Defense and Homeland Security, reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010.

Q2 2010 Financial Results

Revenues from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2010 decreased 18.5% to $11.4 million from $14.0 million in the same year-ago quarter. This decrease was due primarily to a completed but unbilled contract of $2.9 million that is awaiting customer acceptance. This was offset by increased sales of our physical security products. The company's physical security product business increased 173% to $3.0 million from revenues of $1.1 million in the same year-ago quarter.

Gross profit margin in the second quarter was 15.8% as compared to 38.6% in the same year-ago quarter. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in cost of sales from physical security product business, and increased sales of certain crew protection kits (CPKs), which have lower gross margins than other CPKs.

Net loss in the second quarter totaled $3.7 million or $(0.08) per share, compared to a net loss of $2.6 million or $(0.06) per share in the same year-ago period.

Adjusted EBITDA loss in the second quarter totaled $2.3 million or $(0.05) per basic and diluted share, versus an adjusted EBITDA gain of $1.2 million or $0.03 per basic and diluted share in the same year-ago period (see the definition and important discussion about the presentation of adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP term, below).

First Half of 2010 Results

Revenues from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased 14.5% to a record $26.9 million, from $23.5 million in the comparable period in 2009. This increase was due primarily to increased production under Department of Defense contracts and increased sales of physical security products. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, revenues from the company's physical security product business increased 238% to $7.1 million from $2.1 million in the comparable period in 2009.

The gross profit margin was 27.1% and 40% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The decrease in gross profit margin percentage from 2009 to 2010 resulted primarily from a $2.9 million completed but unbilled contract, and an increase in overall costs incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Net loss in the first half of 2010 totaled $4.5 million or $(0.10) per share, compared to a net loss of $4.3 million or $(0.10) per share in the same year-ago period.

Adjusted EBITDA loss in the first half totaled $1.0 million or $(0.02) per basic and diluted share, versus an adjusted EBITDA gain of $1.1 million or $0.03 per basic and diluted share in the same year-ago period (see the definition and important discussion about the presentation of adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP term, below).

Second Quarter 2010 Operational Highlights

  • ADSI received a five-year, $50 million Multiple Award Contract (MAC), Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Award from the Naval Facilities Expeditionary Logistics Center (NFELC). ADSI and two other companies were selected among seven proposals received by the NFELC to submit bids under the MAC IDIQ Award, which requires ADSI to be competitive in order to win the business allotted under the award.
  • American Physical Security Group, LLC, ADSI's physical security subsidiary, completed the successful testing of its newly introduced CRB 360, the most capable rising crash beam barrier in APSG's federally-certified American Anti-Ram™ product line. The CRB 360 achieved a rating of M50-P1 under the ASTM F2656-07 Standard Test Method for Vehicle Crash Testing of Perimeter Barriers, the highest standard recognized by the United States Department of State (DoS) for anti-ram barriers.
  • Contract backlog at the end of the second quarter 2010 totaled $38 million, an increase from $36 million at the end of the previous quarter.

Management Commentary

"While the second quarter of 2010 came in slightly under our expectations for revenue, we believe it does not reflect the strength of our business or sales pipeline, especially when compared to a record second quarter a year-ago," said Anthony J. Piscitelli, chairman and CEO of American Defense Systems. "As with some previous quarters, Q2 2010 demonstrated the challenges we face as we pursue larger and more aggressive military contracts, and where a brief delay in a single large order acceptance can make the difference between a new record second quarter, as it was in this instance in terms of revenue, and one that falls short of expectations."

Fergal Foley, ADSI's chief operating officer, commented: "As we announced in Q1, the strong growth of our physical security business has provided the economies of scale to bring the manufacturing of our protective glass products and transparent armor solutions in-house. We expect improvement in gross margins as the new North Carolina manufacturing facility comes online, as well as improved margins from a greater proportionate of higher-margin CPKs to be shipped in the third quarter. We expect the growth of the physical security segment of our business, particularly sales to the private sector, to eventually help provide smoother revenue results over time, since they are based on smaller order flows than large military contracts. We believe our physical security business could grow from about 10% of our business last year to more than 25% going forward."

Added Piscitelli: "Given these factors, we believe the best current measure of our performance is based on a longer-term view, as represented in our first half 2010 results. We produced record revenue in this period as compared to the first half of 2009. Our trailing twelve month revenue at June 30, 2010 was also a record at $49.2 million, exceeding the same period in 2009 by 20%. We expect to ship the bulk of our current $38 million backlog by year's end, and assuming no similar delays in order acceptance, this puts us on course for another record revenue year."

Guidance

The company expects to report third quarter 2010 revenue of at least $8 million, assuming order acceptance of completed orders.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other financial measures so calculated and presented, nor as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of the company's liquidity. ADSI defines adjusted EBITDA as net income/(loss) before interest (net), depreciation, unrealized loss (gain) on adjustment of fair value of its Series A convertible preferred stock classified as a liability, income tax expense (benefit), loss (gain) on disposal of discontinued division, loss (gain) on deemed extinguishment of debt, finance charge and unrealized loss (gain) on investor warrant liability. Other companies (including the company's competitors) may define adjusted EBITDA differently. The company presents adjusted EBITDA because it believes it to be an important supplemental measure of performance that is commonly used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in a similar industry. Management also uses this information internally for forecasting and budgeting. It may not be indicative of the historical operating results of ADSI nor is it intended to be predictive of potential future results. Investors should not consider adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results as reported under GAAP. See "Reconciliation of GAAP (Loss) to adjusted EBITDA Income (Loss)" below for further information on this non-GAAP measure and reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net loss for the periods indicated.

Important Cautions Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Some of the statements made by American Defense Systems, Inc. ("ADSI" or the "Company") in this press release, including, without limitation, statements regarding ADSI's anticipated future growth and expense reductions, are forward-looking in nature. ADSI intends that any forward-looking statements shall be covered by the safe harbor provisions for such statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements that are predictive in nature, that depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, and include words such as "may," "will," "should," "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "continues," "projects," and variations of such words or similar expressions, are forward-looking statements, but the absence of such words does not mean that the statement is not forward-looking. Statements made in this press release that are forward-looking include, but are not limited to statements made by Mr. Sidorsky that ADSI expects improvement in gross margins as its new North Carolina manufacturing facility comes online, as well as improved margins from a greater proportionate of higher-margin CPKs to be shipped in the third quarter, and ADSI's third quarter 2010 revenue to come in at approximately $8 million. This also includes statements by Mr. Piscitelli that the growth of ADSI's physical security segment, particularly sales to the private sector, are expected to eventually help provide smoother revenue results over time; ADSI's physical security business could grow to more than 25% of the Company's business going forward; and ADSI expects to ship the bulk of its $38 million backlog by the end of 2010, putting the Company on course for another record revenue year. ADSI cautions you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. ADSI undertakes no obligation and disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause ADSI's actual future results to differ materially from those projected or contemplated in the forward-looking statements. ADSI believes that these risks include, but are not limited to: ADSI's reliance on the U.S. government for a substantial amount of its sales and growth; decreases in U.S. government defense spending; ADSI's ability to contract further with the U.S. Department of Defense; ADSI's ability to comply with complex procurement laws and regulations; competition and other risks associated with the U.S. government bidding process; changes in the U.S. government's procurement practices; ADSI's ability to obtain and maintain required security clearances; ADSI's ability to realize the full amount of revenues reflected in its backlog; ADSI's ability to finance the redemption of ADSI's Series A convertible preferred stock in accordance with the terms of such stock and ADSI's settlement agreement with the holders of stock; ADSI's reliance on certain suppliers; and intense competition and other risks associated with the defense industry in general and the security-related defense sector in particular.

Additional information concerning these and other important risk factors can be found under the heading "Risk Factors" in ADSI's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, without limitation, its most recent annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Statements in this press release should be evaluated in light of these important factors.
