Cary Wood, President & CEO, commented, The second quarter decline in our base business revenue reflects the effects of the continuing Fenwal rebalancing activity as well as other customer programs delayed by customer design issues, customer launch timing, and governmental funding within our Manufacturing & Design Services business. Across both our ECP and MDS segments, we closed on a total of 77 program and/or product wins in the second quarter with a first time order value of $17.7 million. Our SG&A costs have increased reflecting added costs from recent acquisitions, future potential acquisitions related expense activity, as well as increases in anticipation of the future growth of the Company. We view these items as long-term investments to support the execution of our 2020 Vision.
Second Quarter Financial Highlights
"
77 new program or product wins were awarded with a first time order value of $17.7 million; 14 in MDS with a first time order value of $4.0 million and 63 in ECP (ASW, Aydin and NavEx) with a first time order value of $13.7 million.
"
Quarter end sales backlog of approximately $226.6 million, representing an 18% increase over the prior year quarter and including approximately $13.1 million from the businesses the Company acquired during the past year. Excluding the newly acquired businesses, backlog was approximately $213.5 million representing an 11% increase over the prior year quarter.
"
Completed the acquisitions of certain assets of Industrial Electronic Devices, Inc. and Argotec, Inc. in December 2014 and the acquisition of Real-Time Enterprises, Inc. and the acquisition of certain assets of KEP Marine, a business and division of Kessler-Ellis Products, Inc. in January 2015.
"
Repurchased $4.6 million of the Company's stock under the Company's stock repurchase plan.
Industrial Electronic Devices and KEP Marine
On December 3, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets of Industrial Electronic Devices, Inc. ("IED"), a $3.0 million annual revenue business, located in Flemington, NJ. The acquired business, which is part of the Company's ECP segment, designs and manufactures a full line of ruggedized displays for the Industrial and Marine markets. IED's catalog spans over 600 standard, semi-custom, and custom configurations, incorporating some of the most advanced flat panel displays and touch screen technology available.
On January 21, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets of KEP Marine, a $3 million annual revenue business and division of Kessler-Ellis Products, located in Eatontown, NJ., in an all-cash transaction. The acquired business, which is part of the Company's ECP segment, designs and manufactures industrial displays, industrial computers and HMI software for the Marine market.
Both of these businesses will be consolidated into the Aydin Displays facility, located in Birdsboro, PA.
"The additions of IED and KEP Marine meet the criteria of our growth strategy by growing our ruggedized electronics platform with additional ruggedized display and touch screen offerings in the harsh and demanding sectors of the Industrial and Marine markets, diversifying of our customer base, and increasing the utilization of our existing assets. Additionally, these acquisitions bring solid, long term customer relationships that will benefit from Spartons expanded list of service offerings, stated Mr.�Wood.
Argotec
On December 8, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets of Argotec, Inc. ("Argotec"), located in Longwood, FL. The acquired business, which is part of the Company's ECP segment, is engaged in developing and manufacturing sonar transducer products and components for the U.S. Navy and also provides aftermarket servicing. These products have been consolidated into the Company's DeLeon Springs, Florida location.
Mr. Wood continued, "While not material in size, Argotec brings valuable intellectual property to our NavEx offerings, as well as a consistent single-sourced revenue stream for key military end applications, further enhancing our growth opportunities with the U.S. Navy, foreign naval operations, and prime defense contractors.





Real-Time Enterprises
On January 20, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of Real-Time Enterprises, Inc. ("RTEmd"), a $4 million annual revenue business, located in Pittsford, NY, in an all-cash transaction. The acquired business, which is part of the Company's MDS segment, is a leading developer of embedded software to operate medical devices and diagnostic equipment through a disciplined approach to product development and quality/regulatory services with specific product experience such as patient monitoring, medical imaging, in-vitro diagnostics, electro-medical systems, surgical applications, ophthalmology, nephrology, infusion pumps and medical imaging.
RTEmd, which will continue to service its current and future customers out of its Pittsford, NY location, adds embedded software development to the Companys MDS service offering and allows Real Time to provide its customers with additional value through access to Sparton's other integrated services to meet their design and manufacturing needs," Mr. Wood concluded.
Segment Results
During the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company changed its reportable segments to align with the way it internally reports and manages the business. The prior reportable segments of Medical and Complex Systems have been combined and are referred to as Manufacturing & Design Services or "MDS". The prior DSS reportable segment remains unchanged and is now referred to as Engineered Components & Products or "ECP".

MDS base business sales reflect sales from MDS facilities that were owned for the entire three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. MDS acquisition sales relate to the acquisitions of Beckwood and Aubrey in fiscal 2014 and the acquisition of eMT in fiscal 2015. The comparative decrease in base business sales reflects the previously disclosed rebalancing of Fenwal Blood Technologies' (a Fresinius Kabi company) program engagements with the Company that began in the Company's fiscal 2014 third quarter. The rebalancing of Fenwal programs negatively affected comparative sales to this customer by $6.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2015. Further, approximately $6 million of other customer orders expected in the second quarter have been delayed by customers due to design issues, customer launch timing, and governmental funding. It is anticipated these orders will not begin to be realized until the fourth quarter of this fiscal year.
The decrease in gross margin percentage on MDS sales primarily reflects the effect of fixed overhead costs on lower base business sales. The selling and administrative expense increase primarily reflects incremental direct and allocated expenses related to the eMT, Aubrey and Beckwood operations. The increase in amortization of intangible assets relates to the amortization of customer relationships and non-compete agreements acquired as part of the fiscal 2015 eMT transaction and the customer relationships and non-compete agreements acquired as part of the fiscal 2014 Aubrey and Beckwood transactions.

ECP base business sales reflect sales from ECP facilities that were owned for the entire three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 as well as sales in fiscal 2015 relating to IED and Argotec, as sales relating to these acquisitions are not considered material for separate presentation. The increase in ECP base business sales reflects increased sonobuoy sales to the U.S. Navy and increased sales of ruggedized flat panel displays, partially offset by decreased sonobuoy sales to foreign governments.
Gross profit percentage was positively affected in the current year quarter by increased volume as compared to the prior year quarter. The selling and administrative expense increase reflects certain increased costs in anticipation of future growth.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On September 11, 2014, the Company replaced its previous credit facility with a new $200.0 million revolving line-of-credit facility with a group of banks (the Credit Facility) to fund future acquisitions and to support the Companys working capital needs and other general corporate purposes. The Credit Facility expires on September 11, 2019, is secured by substantially all assets of the Company and provides for up to an additional $100.0 million in uncommitted loans.
As of December 31, 2014, the Company had $58.5 million borrowed and approximately $141.5 million available under its credit facility and had available cash and cash equivalents of $3.3 million. As of that date, the Company had received performance based payments under U.S. Navy contracts in excess of the funding of production to date under those contracts of $1.4 million.
On October 22, 2014, the Companys Board of Directors approved a repurchase by the Company of up to $5.0 million of shares of its common stock. The Company has been authorized to purchase shares from time to time in open market, block transactions and privately negotiated transactions. The stock repurchase program does not require the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares.�
Pursuant to this stock repurchase program, during the three months ended December 31, 2014, the Company purchased 167,566 shares of its common stock at an average price of $27.54 per share for approximately $4.6 million. Shares purchased under the plan were cancelled upon repurchase. As of December 31, 2014, approximately $0.4 million remained available under the stock repurchase plan.





Outlook
Cary Wood concluded, The softening we experienced in the first quarter of the year with our MDS base business continued into the second quarter as the effects of the fiscal 2014 Fenwal rebalancing decision were coupled with delays in expected orders from a number of other customer programs. While we previously anticipated these delayed programs to resume during our third quarter, we now do not expect many of these customer programs to return to planned volume until the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 and into fiscal 2016. We anticipate our ECP business will deliver a solid second half of the year, with a particularly strong fourth quarter, however not enough to entirely offset the expected MDS shortfall. The Company's organic sales pipeline is robust and we remain well positioned to deliver positive year over year base business results for fiscal 2016, as we expect sales orders to return on delayed programs and to begin to capitalize on synergistic selling opportunities presented by our recent acquisitions. Lastly, our acquisition pipeline is similarly robust as evidenced in part by the consummation of four deals in the past two months. While these deals were small, with three of them being tuck-ins to existing facilities, potential deal sizes in our pipeline range from similarly sized tangential technology products-based opportunities to those of a more transformative nature. We continue to be prudent in our acquisition due diligence processes and we will continue to seek appropriate transactions that will result in advancing our strategic growth plan and increasing shareholder value.
Conference Call
Sparton will host a conference call with investors and analysts on February 4, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. CDT/11:00 a.m. EDT to discuss its fiscal year 2015 second quarter financial results, provide a general business update, and respond to investor questions. To participate, callers should dial (800)�272-9104.� Participants should dial in at least 10 minutes prior to the start of the call.� A web presentation link is also available for the conference call.� To access the web presentation click https://global.gotomeeting.com/join/434359173 (no entry code).
Investors and financial analysts are invited to ask questions after the presentation is made. The presentation and a replay of the call will be available on Spartons Web site: http://www.sparton.com in the Investor Relations section for up to two years after the conference call.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Sparton Corporation has provided non-GAAP financial measures as additional information for its operating results. These measures have not been prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from measures used by other companies. Whenever we use non-GAAP financial measures, we designate these measures, which exclude the effect of certain expenses and income, as adjusted and provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most closely applicable GAAP financial measure. The non-GAAP financial measures eliminate or add certain items of expense and income from cost of goods sold, total operating expense, other income (expense) and provision for (benefit from) income taxes. Management believes that this presentation is helpful to investors in evaluating the current operational and financial performance of our business and facilitates comparisons to historical results of operations. Management discloses this information along with a reconciliation of the comparable GAAP amounts to provide access to the detail and nature of adjustments made to GAAP financial results. While some of these excluded items have been periodically reported in our statements of operations, including significant restructuring and impairment charges, certain success based acquisition finder's fees and functional reorganization costs as well as certain gains on sales of assets, their occurrence in future periods depends on future business and economic factors, among other evaluation criteria, and the occurrence of such events and factors may frequently be beyond the control of management.
We exclude restructuring/impairment charges, success based acquisition finder's fees, certain functional reorganization costs, gross profit effects of capitalized profit in inventory from acquisitions, accelerated recognition of debt financing costs due to refinancing, the related tax effect of these items and unusual discrete tax benefits or expense because we believe that they are not related directly to the underlying performance of our fundamental business operations. We exclude these measures when reviewing financial results and for business planning. Although these events are reflected in our GAAP financials, these transactions may limit the comparability of our fundamental operations with prior and future periods.
Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as adjusted for restructuring/impairment charges, success based acquisition finder's fees, certain functional reorganization costs, gross profit effects of capitalized profit in inventory from acquisitions and accelerated recognition of debt financing costs due to refinancing. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used by financial analysts and others in the industries in which the Company operates and, thus, provides useful information to investors. The Company does not intend, nor should the reader consider, Adjusted EBITDA an alternative to operating income, net income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other items calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company's definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable with Adjusted EBITDA as defined by other companies. Accordingly, the measurement has limitations depending on its use.
