FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

RADA’s Q1 2021 Results: Continued Growth and

Improved Profitability

Revenues of $25.2 million, Net income of $3.8 million & 19% of Adjusted EBITDA

Netanya, Israel, May 11, 2020 – RADA Electronic Industries Ltd. (NASDAQ: RADA & TASE: RADA) announced today its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

 

Dov Sella, RADA's Chief Executive Officer commented, “We started 2021 on a positive note, delivering strong growth and improved profitability in line with our expectations. The positive trends in our markets continue to develop quickly, both in the US and more recently on a global basis. In particular, we see growing traction from European and Middle-Eastern markets, which are now materializing for us.“

 

Concluded Mr. Sella, “Given our solid execution and continued order momentum, our confidence has increased and we reiterate our expectation, that we will exceed revenues of $120 million in 2021, with sequential revenue growth throughout the year. This quarter’s profitability margins demonstrate the leverage in our model and we expect to maintain these levels going forward. As the current programs to which we are supplying our radars mature, with our satisfied customers continuing to order from us in larger quantities, combined with the expected orders from  new customers, we anticipate that the growth trend will continue beyond 2021.”

 

Revenues totaled $25.2 million in the quarter compared with revenues of $15.1 million in the first quarter of 2020, an increase of 67%.

Gross profit totaled $10.0 million in the quarter (40% of revenues), an increase of 85% compared to gross profit of $5.4 million in the first quarter of 2020 (36% of revenues).

Operating income was $3.6 million in the quarter compared to operating income of $0.05 million in the first quarter of 2020.

Net income in the quarter was $3.8 million, or $0.08 per share, compared to net income of $0.2 million or $0.00 per share, in the first quarter of 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA was $4.8 million in the quarter compared to adjusted EBITDA of $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2020.

 

As of March 31, 2021, RADA had net cash and cash equivalents of $96.2 million compared to $35.8 million as of year-end 2020.

 

The Company will host a conference call later today, starting at 9am ET (4pm Israel time). Management will host the call and will be available to answer questions after presenting the results.

Forward Looking Statements  

 

Certain statements in this press release are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially. Such risk uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, changes in general economic conditions, risks in product and technology developments, market acceptance of new products and continuing product demand, level of competition and other factors described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Information with Regard to non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

The Company presents its financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. RADA’s management uses supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate its business and make operating decisions. Adjusted EBITDA is provided in this press release and the accompanying supplemental information because management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful for investors and financial institutions as it facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period. As presented in this release, the term Adjusted EBITDA consists of net profit (loss) according to U.S. GAAP, excluding net financing expenses, taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash stock-based compensation expenses. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including net income and our other GAAP results. Reconciliation between the Company's results on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis is provided in the table below.
