Moog Inc. (the "Company") is reaffirming its outlook for sales and earnings per share for the fiscal year 2005 ending September 24, 2005. Sales are expected to be $1.035 billion, and diluted earnings per share are forecast to be $1.63. These are the same amounts as included in Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 25, 2005, filed on August 4, 2005. The Company is reaffirming its outlook for sales and earnings per share for the fiscal year 2006. Sales are expected to be within a range of $1.162 billion to $1.182 billion, and diluted earnings per share are forecast to be within a range of $1.79 to $1.87. These are the same ranges as included in Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 25, 2005, filed on August 4, 2005. The Company expects net cash provided by operating activities and EBITDA to be $101.0 million and $143.4 million, respectively, in fiscal year 2005 and $90.0 million and $166.7 million, respectively, in fiscal year 2006 using the midpoint of the projected diluted earnings per share range as described above. Reconciliation of EBITDA to Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities (dollars in millions) Fiscal Year 2005 Fiscal Year 2006 ----------------------------------------- ---------------- ---------------- Net earnings $ 64.3 $ 72.6 Add income taxes 30.2 35.0 Add interest 13.7 19.1 Add depreciation and amortization 35.2 40.0 ---------------- ---------------- EBITDA $ 143.4 $ 166.7 ---------------- ---------------- Interest (13.7) (19.1) Income taxes (30.2) (35.0) Changes in assets and liabilities 1.5 (22.6) ---------------- ---------------- Net cash provided by operating activities $ 101.0 $ 90.0 ================ ================ EBITDA is defined by the Company as net earnings before income taxes, interest and depreciation and amortization. The Company believes EBITDA is a useful supplement to net cash provided by operating activities in understanding cash flows generated from operations that are available for debt service costs, income taxes and other working capital needs, in addition to cash available for capital expenditures and other investing activities. EBITDA does not represent net cash provided by operating activities as defined by generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities or other measures as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as a measure of the Company's liquidity. The Company's definition of EBITDA may differ from the definition of EBITDA used by other companies and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The information in this report is furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed to be "filed" for the purpose of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") or otherwise subject to the liability of the section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, except as previously stated by specific reference in such a filing.
