TAT Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ:TATT) ($13.30; $136.7M market cap) announced full year 2023 results:

Full year sales of $113.8 million vs $84.6 million in the prior year
EPS of $0.51 vs $0.00 in the prior year
Q4 sales of $31.9 million vs $22.9 million in the prior year
Non-GAAP EPS of $0.12 vs loss of $0.05 in the prior year

“We are very pleased to present the results of 2023. Since Q4 of 2022 we are in constant growth mode. This as a result of the increasing demand for our products and services as well as our new line of services and operation ramp up. The demand continues to grow while our industry is ramping up from the COVID crisis. During 2023 we managed to improve our margins leading to a record year in all relevant aspects of revenue, gross margin and EBITDA. We saw our backlog increase to a record number of over $400 million. We are pleased to see that the strategic shift the Company made over the last 3 years is starting to bear fruit, enabling the Company to compete and win large strategic deals and enjoy improved margin. We ended 2023 with positive operating cash flow despite the revenue increase and the need for working capital to support the growth. The industry supply chain challenges force us to hold much more inventory than what we used to pre COVID".

Mr Zamir continued: "We remain optimistic for 2024 as we see our increase in backlog and its coverage for the year, new contracts that we believe will yield additional revenue, and the large potential from the new APU MRO capabilities. Various operational initiatives keep us optimistic that our margins will continue to improve.”

We anticipate that over the next few quarters, we will begin to see accelerated growth in revenue and income as the company begins executing on long-term contracts it secured over the last several months. We’d like to understand why Q4 earnings were sequentially down from Q3, even though sales were sequentially higher.

**Call To Action: Adding TATT to our select long model portfolio

TAT Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ:TATT) ($10.45; $93.0M market cap), a leading provider of products and services to the commercial and military aerospace and ground defense industries, continues to hit new highs on the heels of strong earnings which we highlighted in September and November with its Q2 and Q3 results.

We are now adding the stock to our model portfolio holdings, below is a Cliff Note provided by MSM

TATT Cliff Note: BigCapMicro; Restructuring; Large Contracts

Caveats: Past issues with financial consistency; Domiciled in Israel (war risk)

Revenue: $105M
Debt: $14.6M
Cash: $7.3M
P/E 2024 est: N/A
P/E trailing 12 months: 19.5x
EV/S on 2024 revenue est: N/A
EV/S trailing 12 months: 0.9X
Price Target: $12.50 (very conservative)

What they do: The Company’s primary target is the aerospace industry. TAT’s focus is on thermal management solutions and services, Auxiliary Power Units (APU) (think mini generators) maintenance services and landing gear maintenance.

“Thermal systems are responsible for making sure that cabin and cockpit temperatures are constantly regulated, resulting in cost-saving advantages over time. They also ensure that electronics operate at the correct temperatures in other locations throughout the aircraft. Heat transfer solutions facilitate the exchange of heat created through the operation of these systems by transmitting the heat from a hot medium (air, oil or other fluids) to a cold medium for disposal.”

As of 2022, the company also started to offer maintenance services for An Auxiliary Power Units (APU).

“APUs allow an aircraft to operate autonomously without reliance on ground support equipment such as a ground power unit, an external air-conditioning unit or a high pressure air start cart.”

“APU is an electrical power source of aircraft that provides energy for the functioning of aircraft systems, except for propulsion. APUs offer significant cost savings as these can manage power supply and air conditioning functions while the engine is inactive. This not only helps operators to reduce expenses in fuel costs, but also leads to a decrease in maintenance costs for the engine.”

Past issues:

Delayed contract
No product innovation
Inefficient Cost structure
The company has been hovering around the $80M revenue mark since 2006, with a few minor growth spurts that did not last. Earnings per share has also been fairly sporadic.

Reasons To Track:

Went through a minor restructuring that included eliminating and consolidating manufacturing locations. This has led to annual cost savings of $1.5M or 16 cents per share, better R&D activities and better customer service.
Is building a new R&D center to develop more products.
Backlog is trending up. 2022 ending backlog was $403M vs. $295M at the end of 2021. It currently stands at $411M. To put this into perspective, the backlog between 2016 and 2021 ranged from $170M to $257M.
Sales are starting to tick up and EPS grew year over year for the last nine quarters, with the last four being profitable and up sequentially.
Won 4 large 10 year EXCLUSIVE Honeywell contracts (with respect to Boeing and Airbus planes) two years ago that are finally translating into revenue.
Apparently the aerospace industry is shifting to replace mechanical (manual) systems with electronics systems (automation and less manual needs). This increases the need for thermal management systems. “New thermal management systems are among the most important avionics systems that will be seen on new aircraft.”
Embarking on creating new product lines, like its APU maintenance services in 2022. In fact, this is the business unit that resulted in the 4 contract wins from Honeywell that has lifted the backlog. The APU industry adds a target market worth over $1B and recurring revenue opportunities.
Has only just started generating revenues from APU business.
Landing gear maintenance cycles offer long-term revenue opportunities. “ATR landing gear overhauls are scheduled every 8 or 9 years or 18,000 or 20,000 cycles (whichever comes first), depending on the landing gear part number.”
InfoArb: The company’s December 1 investor presentation mentions that 2 major APU deals are “in the funnel.” No mention of this was made in the company’s press releases.
The company has a nice roster of large and well known customers, including 300 customers and 50 major airlines.
Targeting larger accounts, while reducing exposure to smaller ones.

–

Valuation: We think a 25x P/E on trailing EPS of 50 cents is reasonable, yielding a short-term price target of $12.50. However, the fact that the company has been experiencing large sequential rises in EPS, that the new APU revenue has just started kicking in and that they have two large deals in the pipeline could make this target extremely conservative. Using the third quarter run-rate EPS of 22 cents ( 80 cents) gets to a potential price target of $22. Now, even the 22 cents run-rate assumption could be conservative.

–

Caveats:

Inconsistent growth
Being domiciled in Israel could limit valuation expansion.
A good portion of the company’s backlog is not firm, in that task orders have to be released.

–

Tasks:

Still don’t clearly understand the difference between mechanical and electrical aerospace systems in terms of their use of power. So, we need to get some clarity.
Will the company be able to secure APU contracts from companies other than Honeywell?
The legacy thermal business has been lumpy. Does the company expect this business to become more stable?
77% Of the company’s revenue is generated from commercial contracts. Is there an opportunity to generate more revenue from defense contracts?
Any new products in the pipeline (looks like 2 more)?
64% of revenue comes from the USA. Any plans to increase global revenue?
Does exposure to the commercial airline industry pose a risk?
Annual report mentions products and services for non-aerospace markets. Like the Navy and hospitals. Need to understand this opportunity.

Press Release: Mr. Igal Zamir, TAT's CEO and President commented on the results:

"we are very pleased with the results of the third quarter and nine months of 2023. We are facing swift growth in demand for our products and services, which has resulted in increasing revenue and profitability quarter after quarter. We remain positive that the trend will continue for the following quarters to come."
