Financial Summary
The following analysis is performed over Sales, Gross Profit, and EBITDA from Continuing Operations for the comparative periods identified unless otherwise noted.
Net sales were $62.2 million, compared to $48.5 million in the prior-year period. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by strength in the defense and firearms sector. Over the year the business saw a significant increase in full turnkey assembly components, further bolstering its revenue position. The increase in sales was offset by slower than expected COVID-19 related recoveries in the automotive, aerospace and medical industries. The automotive sector has also been negatively impacted by chip shortages that has continued to hurt the entire automotive supply chain. Aerospace continues to remain soft as large OEM destocking is occurring. Most aerospace industry intelligence is indicating an FY22-FY23 return to normalcy. Medical backlog levels were nearing pre-COVID levels toward the end of FY21, showing positive signs in that industry.
Gross profit was $14.1 million, compared to $6.8 million in the prior-year period. Gross profit increases for the year were primarily driven by increases in operational productivity and proactive cost reduction measures implemented to balance costs with specific industry performance. The company overcame high volatility in many of its major industries through business agility and decisive actions.
EBITDA was $12.3 million, compared to $4.4 million in the prior-year period. The increase was due to the upturn in overall sales due to global uncertainty combined with the aforementioned cost control and productivity gains impacting both Cost of Sales and SG&A expense.
Mr. Jed Rust, CEO of ARC Group Worldwide, said, "I am pleased to report that ARC strengthened its position over the past year as a healthy global provider of metal and plastic injection molding. The team's efforts on operational excellence combined with a strategy of fiscal responsibility and debt reductions allows us to again thrive in our core business."
GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation
The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, a Non-GAAP financial measure as defined by the SEC, as a supplemental profitability measure because management finds it useful to understand and evaluate results, excluding the impact of non-cash depreciation and amortization charges, stock based compensation expenses, and nonrecurring expenses and outlays, prior to consideration of the impact of other potential sources and uses of cash, such as working capital items. This calculation may differ in method of calculation from similarly titled measures used by other companies and may be different than the EBITDA calculation used by our lenders for purposes of determining compliance with financial covenants. This Non-GAAP measure may have limitations when understanding performance as it excludes the financial impact of transactions such as interest expense necessary to conduct the Company's business and therefore is not intended to be an alternative to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company has not quantitatively reconciled its forward looking Adjusted EBITDA target to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because such items such as amortization of stock-based compensation and interest expense, which are specific items that impact these measures, have not yet occurred, are out of the Company's control, or cannot be predicted. For example, quantification of stock-based compensation is not possible as it requires inputs such as future grants and stock prices, which are not currently ascertainable.
Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations, Adjusted Earnings, and Adjusted Earnings Per Share are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA Margin from Continuing Operations is calculated by dividing EBITDA from Continuing Operations by sales.
The reconciliation to GAAP is as follows (dollars in thousands):
