Reconciliation of Net (Loss) with Adjusted EBITDA
Comment from the CEO
Lou Melluzzo, CEO of Air Industries, said: “The company continued to make progress during the second quarter of 2022, a challenging period during which, like most manufacturing companies, we faced significant disruptions in supply chain that affected the availability of raw materials However, comparing our performance in the second quarter of 2022 to the first quarter of this year, which reflected a similar operating environment, net sales increased by 16%, the Consolidated gross profit increased by almost 17% and operating income increased by almost 20%.
“Raw material delays and external processing delays unfortunately prevented the production of some customer orders, which largely contributed to the decline in sales compared to the quarter and six months of the previous year. That said, recent periods demonstrate the benefits of Air Industries’ diverse mix of aircraft product platforms and stable customers. While sales were down overall in the first half of 2022 compared to 2021, we saw solid increases in some platforms, such as the Northrup Grumman E2-D and the Pratt & Whitney Geared Turbo Fan. We also saw an increase in the volume of Sikorsky CH-53 helicopter assemblies.
“We are working diligently to address today’s challenging environment. In particular, we are continuing our vertical integration strategy, which is designed to improve efficiency and shorten production times. Our in-house paint facility is up and running and in the process of being qualified, and we are establishing a feature in our Sterling operation that should ease the assembly process for a major customer order.
“The long-term outlook for our market is strong. We attended the recent Farnborough Airshow, one of the key events for the aerospace industry, where the tone was generally optimistic. For example, demand remains substantial for the Lockheed Martin F -35 Joint Strike Fighter, which is the world’s best fifth-generation fighter jet, and the record-breaking fighter jet program for allied militaries around the world.
“We continue to position Air Industries to improve the performance of our growing industry through investments in vertically integrated processes and capital equipment to become an even more valuable partner to our aerospace and defense customers, while pursuing business development and sales efforts.”

Forward-looking statements
Certain matters discussed in this press release are “forward-looking statements” intended to qualify for the liability safe harbor established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In particular, the company’s statements about trends in the market, future revenues, earnings and adjusted EBITDA, the ability to achieve the company’s backlog and projected backlog, cost reduction measures, possible future results and acquisitions are examples of these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the timing of projects due to variability in size, scope and duration, the inherent discrepancy between actual results of estimates, projections and forecasts made by management, regulatory delays, changes in government funding and budgets and other factors, including general economic conditions, that are beyond the Company’s control. The factors discussed herein and expressed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this press release, and the company undertakes no obligation to publicly update such forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.
Adjusted EBITDA
The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by the SEC, as a supplemental measure of profitability because management believes it is useful to understand and evaluate results, excluding the impact of non-recurring depreciation and amortization expenses. cash, stock-based compensation expense. , and non-recurring expenses and expenses, before considering the impact of other potential sources and uses of cash, such as working capital items. This calculation may differ in the method of calculation from similarly titled measures used by other companies and may differ from the calculation of EBITDA used by our lenders to determine compliance with our financial covenants. This non-GAAP measure may have limitations in understanding performance as it excludes the financial impact of transactions, such as interest expense necessary to conduct the Company’s business and therefore it is not intended to be an alternative to the financial measure 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 items such as amortization of stock-based compensation and interest expense, which are specific items that affect these measures, have not yet occurred. of the company’s control, or cannot be predicted. For example, quantifying stock-based compensation is not possible because it requires inputs such as future grants and stock prices that cannot currently be determined.
