NEWS RELEASE

Ducommun Incorporated Reports
Third Quarter 2023 Results
All-Time Record Quarterly Revenue and Adjusted Operating Income; Growth in both Commercial Aerospace and Defense; Strong Margin Expansion Driving Adjusted EBITDA to 14.9%
SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA (November 8, 2023) – Ducommun Incorporated (NYSE: DCO) (“Ducommun” or the “Company”) today reported results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2023.
Third Quarter 2023 Recap
Net revenue was $196.3 million, a new all-time quarterly record for the Company
Net income of $3.2 million, or $0.22 per diluted share
Adjusted net income of $10.3 million, or $0.70 per diluted share
Adjusted EBITDA of $29.3 million, or 14.9% of revenue, an all-time high for Ducommun
“Q3 was an outstanding quarter for Ducommun, the best in many years as we grew our topline both year-over-year and sequentially, led by continued strength in Commercial Aerospace and a return to growth of our defense business while also delivering strong margin expansion in gross and Adjusted EBITDA margins,” said Stephen G. Oswald, chairman, president and chief executive officer. “We achieved a new quarterly revenue record of $196.3 million up 5% over Q3 2022, the previous high being in 2012, with the ramp up in wide-body aircraft demand driving Commercial Aerospace revenues up 14% year-over-year. The Company's gross margins expanded 200 bps year-over-year as well from 20.7% to 22.7% for the quarter as we continue improving operating performance which includes the meaningful on-going restructuring activities announced in 2022.
“In December 2022, we laid out our Vision 2027 Plan to investors and in the first three quarters of 2023, I am happy and encouraged to see the significant progress already towards those targets for both revenue growth and margin expansion. There are also many positive catalysts happening currently within the Company that will significantly drive shareholder value in the quarters and years ahead. In summary, Ducommun is well positioned to execute our stated strategy over the next four years with significant runway ahead.”
Third Quarter Results
Net revenue for the third quarter of 2023 was $196.3 million compared to $186.6 million for the third quarter of 2022. The year-over-year increase of 5.2% was primarily due to the following:
$9.6 million higher revenue in the Company’s commercial aerospace end-use markets due to higher build rates on twin-aisle commercial aircraft platforms as well as the A220 platform, commercial rotary-wing aircraft platforms, and other commercial aerospace business; and
$2.4 million higher revenue in the Company’s military and space end-use markets due to higher build rates on military rotary-wing aircraft platforms and other military and space platforms, partially offset by lower build rates on military fixed-wing aircraft platforms and various missile platforms.
Net income for the third quarter of 2023 was $3.2 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to $8.5 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2022. This reflects higher selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses of $7.4 million, higher restructuring charges of $3.2 million, and higher interest expense of $2.4 million, partially offset by higher gross profit of $6.0 million. The higher SG&A expenses were primarily due to BLR Aerospace L.L.C. (“BLR”) SG&A expenses of $3.6 million (49% of the total increase in SG&A expenses) which did not exist in the
1


prior year period as the acquisition of BLR was completed during Q2 2023, and higher stock-based compensation expense of $2.9 million.
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2023 was $44.6 million, or 22.7% of revenue, compared to gross profit of $38.6 million, or 20.7% of revenue, for the third quarter of 2022. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net revenue year-over-year was primarily due to favorable product mix, pricing actions, and favorable manufacturing volume, partially offset by unfavorable other manufacturing costs.
Operating income for the third quarter of 2023 was $8.6 million, or 4.4% of revenue, compared to $13.2 million, or 7.1% of revenue, in the comparable period last year. The year-over-year decrease of $4.6 million was primarily due to higher SG&A expenses and higher restructuring charges, both of which were noted above, partially offset by higher gross profit. Adjusted operating income for the third quarter of 2023 was $17.5 million, or 8.9% of revenue, compared to $17.2 million, or 9.2% of revenue, in the comparable period last year. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to favorable product mix, pricing actions, and favorable manufacturing volume, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses, mainly due to the addition of the BLR acquisition.
Interest expense for the third quarter of 2023 was $5.4 million compared to $3.0 million in the comparable period of 2022. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to higher interest rates.
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2023 was $29.3 million, or 14.9% of revenue, compared to $26.0 million, or 13.9% of revenue, for the comparable period in 2022.
During the third quarter of 2023, the net cash provided by operations was $14.3 million compared to a net cash used in operations of $5.5 million during the third quarter of 2022. The higher net cash provided by operations during the third quarter of 2023 was primarily due to higher contract liabilities (resulting from driving more progress payments from its customers) and higher accrued and other liabilities, partially offset by higher inventories and lower net income.
Business Segment Information
Electronic Systems
Electronic Systems segment net revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 was $110.7 million, compared to $113.4 million for the third quarter of 2022. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to the following:
$3.2 million lower revenue within the Company’s military and space end-use markets due to lower build rates on military fixed-wing aircraft platforms, partially offset by higher build rates on other military and space platforms; partially offset by
$2.8 million higher revenue in the Company’s commercial aerospace end-use markets due to higher build rates on other commercial aerospace platforms.
Electronic Systems segment operating income for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 was $12.7 million, or 11.5% of revenue, compared to $13.9 million, or 12.2% of revenue, for the comparable quarter in 2022. The year-over-year decrease of $1.2 million was primarily due to higher restructuring charges and unfavorable other manufacturing costs, partially offset by favorable product mix and favorable manufacturing volume.
Electronic Systems segment adjusted operating income for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 was $14.9 million, or 13.4% of revenue, compared to $14.6 million, or 12.9% of revenue, for the comparable quarter in 2022. The year-over-year increase of $0.3 million was primarily due to favorable product mix, pricing actions, and favorable manufacturing volume.
Structural Systems
Structural Systems segment net revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 was $85.5 million, compared to $73.2 million for the third quarter of 2022. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the following:
$6.7 million higher revenue within the Company’s commercial aerospace end-use markets due to higher build rates on large aircraft platforms; and
$5.6 million higher revenue within the Company’s military and space end-use markets due to higher build rates on military rotary-wing platforms and other military and space platforms, partially offset by lower build rates various missile platforms.
Structural Systems segment operating income for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 was $6.7 million, or 7.9% of revenue, compared to $6.7 million, or 9.1% of revenue, for the comparable quarter in 2022. The year-over-year increase of $0.1 million was primarily due to favorable product mix and favorable manufacturing volume, partially
2


offset by higher restructuring charges, higher inventory purchase accounting adjustments, and unfavorable other manufacturing costs.
Structural Systems segment adjusted operating income for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 was $13.5 million, or 15.7% of revenue, compared to $9.8 million, or 13.3% of revenue, for the comparable quarter in 2022. The year-over-year increase of $3.7 million was primarily due to favorable product mix, pricing actions, and favorable manufacturing volume.
Corporate General and Administrative (“CG&A”) Expenses
CG&A expenses for the third quarter of 2023 were $10.8 million, or 5.5% of total Company revenue, compared to $7.4 million, or 3.9% of total Company revenue, for the comparable quarter in the prior year. The year-over-year increase in CG&A expenses was primarily due to higher stock-based compensation expense of $2.8 million.

You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. You should understand that many important factors, including those discussed herein, could cause the Company’s results to differ materially from those expressed or suggested in any forward-looking statement. Except as required by law, the Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements to reflect new information or events or circumstances that occur after the date of this news release, November 8, 2023, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or otherwise. Readers are advised to review the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (which are available from the SEC’s EDGAR database at www.sec.gov).
Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information
This release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA (which excludes interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, Guaymas fire related expenses, other fire related expenses, insurance recoveries related to loss on operating assets, insurance recoveries related to business interruption, inventory purchase accounting adjustments, loss on extinguishment of debt, and other debt refinancing costs), non-GAAP operating income and as a percentage of net revenues, non-GAAP earnings, non-GAAP earnings per share, and backlog. In addition, certain other prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year’s presentation.
The Company believes the presentation of these non-GAAP measures provide important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures along with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in evaluating the Company’s actual and forecasted operating performance, capital resources and cash flow. The non-GAAP financial information presented herein should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company discloses different non-GAAP financial measures in order to provide greater transparency and to help the Company’s investors to more meaningfully evaluate and compare Ducommun’s results to its previously reported results. The non-GAAP financial measures that the Company uses may not be comparable to similarly titled financial measures used by other companies.
The Company defines backlog as potential revenue and is based on customer placed purchase orders and long-term agreements (“LTAs”) with firm fixed price and expected delivery dates of 24 months or less. The majority of the LTAs do not meet the definition of a contract under ASC 606 and thus, the backlog amount disclosed herein is greater than the remaining performance obligations disclosed under ASC 606. Backlog is subject to delivery delays or program cancellations, which are beyond the Company’s control. Backlog is affected by timing differences in the placement of customer orders and tends to be concentrated in several programs to a greater extent than the Company’s net revenues. As a result of these factors, trends in the Company’s overall level of backlog may not be indicative of trends in the Company’s future net revenues.
