Quarterly Revenue Tops $200M; Record Quarterly Gross Margin;
Net Income Increase of 63% Year-over-Year

COSTA MESA, Calif., Aug. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ducommun Incorporated (NYSE: DCO) (鈥淒ucommun鈥� or the 鈥淐ompany鈥�) today reported results for its second quarter ended June听28, 2025.

Second Quarter 2025 Recap

• Net revenue was $202.3 million, an increase of 3% over Q2 2024
• Gross margin of 26.6%, year-over-year growth of 60 bps
• Net income of $12.6 million (increase of 63% year-over-year), or $0.82 per diluted share, or 6.2% of revenue, up 230 bps year-over-year
• Non-GAAP adjusted net income of $13.4 million (increase of 8% year-over-year), or $0.88 per diluted share
• Adjusted EBITDA of $32.4 million (increase of 8% year-over-year), or 16.0% of revenue, up 80 bps year-over-year
  

鈥淎nother excellent quarter for Ducommun as we continue to make solid progress towards our VISION 2027 goals with both gross margin and Adjusted EBITDA margin and dollars at record levels. Net revenue grew 3% to $202.3 million as anticipated, led by strength in our defense business which offset the continued headwinds in commercial aerospace OEM demand,鈥� said Stephen G. Oswald, chairman, president and chief executive officer. 鈥淒efense in Q2 saw strong demand across several missile programs as well as radar, military rotary-wing aircraft platforms and a classified program. While there was continued weakness in revenues from Boeing during the quarter, I am increasingly confident that their recent performance in 2025 is a sign of much better days ahead both in single aisle and wide-body aircraft.

鈥淭he Company continues to make strong progress in its margin expansion journey as well with gross margins expanding 60 bps year-over-year from 26.0% to 26.6%, which is an excellent achievement. Adjusted EBITDA exceeded $30 million for the second consecutive quarter, expanding 80 bps year-over-year from 15.2% to 16.0% as we build a consistent track record. The continued growth in Adjusted EBITDA margins in Q2 keeps us on pace to meet the VISION 2027 financial goal of 18% Adjusted EBITDA.

鈥淭he tariff environment continues to evolve and we currently do not expect it to have any material impact on our financial outlook. As a reminder we are largely a U.S. manufacturer with U.S. workers and our domestic facilities generate more than 95% of Ducommun鈥檚 revenue. With the recent EU agreement this also clears the way, tariff free with DCO's Airbus business. In addition, we are making progress in putting in plans to largely mitigate raw materials tariff exposures through either duty exemptions on military products or by passing through to our customers under the terms of our contracts.

鈥淚n summary, Q2 was another strong performance and along with Q1, we have had an excellent first half. We are also very optimistic for greater revenue growth year-over-year in second half of 2025 as market demand increases.鈥�

Second Quarter Results

Net revenue for the second quarter of 2025 was $202.3 million compared to $197.0 million for the second quarter of 2024. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the following in the Company's key end-use markets:

• $16.5 million higher revenue in the Company鈥檚 military and space end-use markets due to higher rates on selected missile, rotary-wing aircraft, and radar platforms and a classified program; partially offset by
• $9.0 million lower revenue in the Company鈥檚 commercial aerospace end-use markets due to lower revenues from Boeing and lower rates on rotary-wing aircraft platforms.

In addition, revenue for the Company鈥檚 industrial end-use markets for the second quarter of 2025 decreased $2.3 million compared to the second quarter of 2024 mainly due to the Company鈥檚 selective pruning of non-core business.

Net income for the second quarter of 2025 was $12.6 million, or 6.2% of revenue, or $0.82 per diluted share, compared to $7.7 million, or 3.9% revenue, or $0.52 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2024. This reflects higher gross profit of $2.5 million, higher other income of $1.7 million, and lower restructuring charges of $1.5 million (prior year included $0.9 million recorded as cost of sales), partially offset by higher income tax expense of $1.1 million.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2025 was $53.7 million, or 26.6% of revenue, compared to gross profit of $51.2 million, or 26.0% of revenue, for the second quarter of 2024. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net revenue year-over-year was primarily due to lower other manufacturing costs and lower restructuring charges as a result of nearing the completion of the wind down of the Monrovia performance center, partially offset by unfavorable product mix and lower manufacturing volume.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2025 was $17.2 million, or 8.5% of revenue, compared to $13.9 million, or 7.1% of revenue, in the comparable period last year. The year-over-year increase of $3.2 million was primarily due to higher gross profit and lower restructuring charges. Non-GAAP adjusted operating income for the second quarter of 2025 was $20.0 million, or 9.9% of revenue, compared to $19.9 million, or 10.1% of revenue, in the comparable period last year. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to higher GAAP operating income, partially offset by lower add backs of restructuring charges and professional fees related to unsolicited non-binding acquisition offer.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2025 was $32.4 million, or 16.0% of revenue, compared to $30.0 million, or 15.2% of revenue, for the comparable period in 2024.

Interest expense for the second quarter of 2025 was $3.0 million compared to $4.0 million in the comparable period of 2024. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due lower interest rates along with a lower debt balance.

During the second quarter of 2025, the net cash provided by operations was $22.4 million compared to $3.5 million during the second quarter of 2024. The higher net cash provided by operations during the second quarter of 2025 was primarily due to higher net income, higher accounts payable, and a smaller increase in contract assets.

Electronic Systems

Electronic Systems segment net revenue for the quarter ended June听28, 2025 was $110.2 million, compared to $101.4 million for the second quarter of 2024. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the following in the Company's key end-use markets:

The Company believes the presentation of these non-GAAP measures provide important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations.

The Company defines backlog as customer placed purchase orders and long-term agreements (鈥淟TAs鈥�) with firm fixed price and expected delivery dates of 24 months or less. The majority of the LTAs do not meet the definition of a contract under ASC 606 and thus, the backlog amount disclosed herein may or may not be greater than the remaining performance obligations disclosed under ASC 606. Backlog is subject to delivery delays or program cancellations, which are beyond the Company鈥檚 control. Backlog is affected by timing differences in the placement of customer orders and tends to be concentrated in some of the Company鈥檚 programs.
