Introduction of 2024 financial outlook with strong growth expected to continue

BRAMPTON, ON , Feb. 28, 2024 /CNW/ - MDA Ltd. (TSX: MDA), a trusted space mission partner to the rapidly expanding global space industry, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2023.

"In 2023, the MDA team delivered another year of strong growth and execution with revenues up 26% and adjusted EBITDA up 24% on a year over year basis, further solidifying our position as a trusted mission partner and leader in the expanding space industry," said Mike Greenley, Chief Executive Officer of MDA. "We secured a number of strategic contracts including the Telesat Lightspeed LEO constellation award, valued at $2.1 billion and a $180 million authorization to proceed contract to initiate work on a new Non-Geostationary Orbit satellite constellation, with the full contract expected to be awarded this year. With these awards MDA has now secured three constellation contracts in the past two years, highlighting the strong momentum we are seeing in our Satellite Systems business driven by customer demand for communication satellite constellations."

"Our teams also continued to advance work on the Canadarm3 program with the first elements of the external robotic interfaces going into production in 2023, a major milestone for the program. On CHORUS, our next generation Earth observation constellation, the team made significant development progress and has started sub-system building and assembly as we prepare for the mission launch in late 2025. These accomplishments reflect tangible progress against our strategic growth plan and position us well for the coming years."

"I am also pleased with our fourth quarter performance which demonstrated solid revenue growth and profitability as our teams remain focused on execution and delivering on our customer commitments. With a strong book of business and robust opportunity funnel, MDA is well positioned to meet growing customer demand across our end markets."

Revenues

Consolidated revenues for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $205.0 million, representing an increase of $18.9 million (or 10.2%) from the fourth quarter of 2022. The year over year increase in revenues was primarily driven by strong contributions from our Robotics and Space Operations and Satellite Systems businesses.

By business area, revenues in Geointelligence for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $49.9 million, which represents a decrease of $4.0 million (or 7.4%) from the same period in 2022 due to timing of programs. Revenues in Robotics & Space Operations for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $64.9 million, which represents an increase of $17.0 million (or 35.5%) from the same period in 2022. This year over year increase is primarily driven by the higher volume of work performed on the Canadarm3 program. Revenues in Satellite Systems for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $90.2 million, which represents an increase of $5.9 million (or 7.0%) from the same period in 2022 driven by slightly higher work volume on the Globalstar program and the initial ramp of the Lightspeed program which was awarded in Q3 2023.

Consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023 were $807.6 million, which were $166.4 million (or 26.0%) higher than the same period in 2022. The year over year increase in revenues was primarily driven by strong contributions from our Satellite Systems and Robotics & Space Operations businesses.

By business area, revenues in Geointelligence for the year ended December 31, 2023 were $197.5 million, which represents an increase of $2.2 million (or 1.1%) from the same period in 2022 reflecting relatively steady volume of work. Revenues in Robotics & Space Operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 were $248.4 million, which represents an increase of $54.7 million (or 28.2%) from the same period in 2022. The year over year revenue increase is primarily driven by the higher volume of work performed on the Canadarm3 program. Revenues in Satellite Systems for the year ended December 31, 2023 were $361.7 million, which represents an increase of $109.5 million (or 43.4%) from the same period in 2022 driven by higher volumes related to satellite constellation work including the Globalstar program which commenced in Q1 2022 and additional awards to support US Department of Defense constellations.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit reflects our revenues less cost of revenues. Q4 2023 gross profit of $57.8 million represents a $1.1 million (or 1.9%) decrease over Q4 2022 driven by program mix and higher depreciation expense as new assets come into service, offset by higher work volumes. Gross margin in Q4 2023 was 28.2%, which is in line with our expectations and compares to a gross margin of 31.6% in Q4 2022.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, gross profit of $244.0 million represents a $15.6 million (or 6.8%) increase over 2022 driven by higher volume of work performed year over year, partially offset by $16.8 million of higher ITCs recorded in Q1 2022 related to the resolution of historical claims. Gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2023 was 30.2%, which is in line with our expectations driven by an evolving program mix and higher depreciation expense. Comparatively, gross margin in 2022 was 33.0% excluding the aforementioned impact of the historical ITC claims recognized in Q1 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $42.1 million compared with $39.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, representing an increase of $2.2 million (or 5.5%) year over year driven by higher work volume as we continue to execute on our backlog. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 20.5% for the fourth quarter of 2023, in line with the 21.4% adjusted EBITDA margin reported for the fourth quarter of 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $174.2 million compared with $157.9 million for the same period in 2022, representing an increase of $16.3 million (or 10.3%) year over year. Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2022 included $16.8 million of income from the aforementioned resolution of historical ITC claims. When excluding the impact of the $16.8 million related to historical ITC claims, Adjusted EBITDA increased $33.1 million (or 23.5%) year over year. The improvement was driven by higher volumes of work performed year over year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 21.6% for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared with 22.0% in 2022, excluding the previously noted historical ITC claims resolution.

Adjusted EBITDA, excluding historical ITCs claims resolution, is summarized below.

Adjusted Net Income

Adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $27.8 million compared with $22.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, representing an increase of $5.5 million (or 24.7%) year over year driven by lower income tax expense and finance costs in Q4 2023. Adjusted net income for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $97.9 million compared with $78.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, representing an increase of $19.0 million (or 24.1%) year over year. The increase for the full year period is driven by higher operating income and lower finance costs.

Backlog

Backlog as at December 31, 2023 was $3,097.0 million, an increase of $1,718.8 million compared with the backlog at December 31, 2022 driven by new order bookings including the Telesat Lightspeed LEO constellation awarded in Q3 2023, partially offset by continued conversion of our backlog into revenue. The following table shows the build up of backlog for Q4 and the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared with the same periods in 2022.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES

This press release refers to certain non-IFRS measures. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, the measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. We use non-IFRS measures, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share, Order Bookings and Net Debt, to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before: i) depreciation and amortization expenses, ii) provision for (recovery of) income taxes, and iii) finance costs. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding to and deducting from EBITDA, as applicable, certain expenses, costs, charges or benefits incurred in such period which in management's view are either not indicative of underlying business performance or impact the ability to assess the operating performance of our business, including i) unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss ii) unrealized gain or loss on financial instruments and iii) share-based compensation expenses, and iv) other items that may arise from time to time. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Order Bookings is the dollar sum of contract values of firm customer contracts. Adjusted Net Income is calculated by adding to and deducting from net income, as applicable, certain expenses, costs, charges or benefits incurred in such period which in management's view are either not indicative of underlying business performance or impact the ability to assess the operating performance of our business, including i) amortization of intangible assets related to business combinations, ii) unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss, iii) unrealized gain or loss on financial instruments, and iv) share-based compensation expenses, and iv) other items that may arise from time to time. Adjusted Earnings per Share represents Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Order Bookings is indicative of firm future revenues; however, it does not provide a guarantee of future net income and provides no information about the timing of future revenue. Net Debt is the total carrying amount of long-term debt including current portions, as presented in the 2023 Audited Financial Statements, less cash (or plus bank indebtedness) and excluding any lease liabilities. Net Debt is a liquidity metric used to determine how well the Company can pay all of its debts if they were due immediately.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release may contain forward‐looking information within the meaning of applicable securities legislation, which reflects the Company's current expectations regarding future events. Forward‐looking information is based on a number of assumptions and is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company's control, which could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those that are disclosed in or implied by such forward‐looking information.
