      SAN DIEGO, Nov. 3, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq:KTOS - News), a leading national defense, IT and security solutions provider, today reported third quarter 2009 revenues of $86.1 million, a 10.5 percent increase over third quarter 2008 revenues. Third quarter 2009 pro forma EBITDA of $6.4 million or 7.4% of revenues, increased 8.5 percent over the previous year's third quarter pro forma EBITDA of $5.9 million, or 7.6% of revenues. Kratos' Government Solutions business segment, where Kratos primarily performs its Department of Defense and National Security work, generated third quarter pro forma EBITDA of 8.6%. Third quarter cash flow generated from operations was $9.9 million, and the Company has generated total cash flow from operations of approximately $23.2 million for the first 9 months of 2009, which includes the reduction of DSOs from 107 to 85 days.



      As of September 27, 2009, the Company has paid down its total bank debt to approximately $56.5 million, down from $75.3 million at the end of the second quarter. Net debt at the end of the third quarter was $46.6 million, comprised of debt of $57.5 million, less cash on the balance sheet of $10.9 million.



      The Company reported total backlog of approximately $620 million at September 27, 2009, and a qualified bid and proposal pipeline of $1.6 billion.



      Third quarter revenues include contributions from the Digital Fusion, Inc. (DFI) acquisition, which was completed in December 2008. Revenue increases were offset somewhat by reductions in the Company's commercial and public safety & security system integration business, which have been negatively impacted by the current adverse economic environment, as well as the planned and anticipated reductions of small business and other set aside contract work from previously acquired companies, pass through work and other contract work in the Company's Government Solutions segment.



      Eric DeMarco, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "The Company continues to make progress against our previously stated objectives and business plan. We are particularly proud of the $9.9 million in operating cash flow the business generated during the third quarter, which is representative of a very high quality of earnings and overall operational performance that Kratos is currently achieving. Additionally, the Company achieved solid EPS and EBITDA, and we currently expect overall 2010 EBITDA margins to improve over 2009."



      Kratos' contractual and operational highlights during the quarter included:





      -- Award of a contract valued at $43 million for Space and Missile
      Defense Technology Development. Certain of the work Kratos
      will be performing under this contract includes:
      - Unmanned System and other Airframe Technologies work,
      including as related to Sensors and Weapons Platforms
      - Advanced Electro Optical and Infra Red (EO/IR) Sensor work
      - Modeling & Simulation work specifically related to ISR,
      EO/IR and certain Seekers.
      -- Active Participation, including Certain Hardware Deliverables,
      to the successful August Ballistic Missile Defense Test Stellar
      Avenger
      -- Recognition among the top U.S. Public Safety & Security Systems
      Integrators


      Since the end of the second quarter, the Company has reached a Settlement, subject to final documentation and approval, of the derivative lawsuits which have been outstanding since 2004, related to businesses previously discontinued and divested by the Company. Additionally, the Company also has recently been informed that the stock option backdating investigation by the U.S. Attorney's Office is now officially closed. Neither the settlement of the derivative lawsuits or the official completion of the stock option investigation is expected to have any material impact, financial or otherwise, to the Company.



      DeMarco concluded, "The settlement of the derivative matter, and the official closing of the stock option backdating investigation will bring to closure the last of the major legacy matters for the Company, and mean that both a significant management distraction and a significant cost element, primarily in attorneys fees related to these matters will be gone in 2010."



      Conference Call



      There will be an analyst and investor conference call conducted by the Kratos management team to discuss the third quarter 2009 financial results today at 2:00 p.m., Pacific Time/5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The live discussion can be accessed via webcast on the Internet at www.kratosdefense.com. There will be a replay of the webcast available on the website for those shareholders and analysts who are unable to listen to the live call.

      Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures



      Certain of the information set forth herein, including EBITDA and pro forma EBITDA, are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Kratos believes this information is useful to investors because it provides a basis for measuring the Company's available capital resources, the operating performance of the Company's business and the Company's cash flow, excluding extraordinary items and non-cash items that would normally be included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures along with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in evaluating the Company's operating performance and capital resources and cash flow. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and non-financial measures as reported by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.

      EBITDA as calculated by us may be calculated differently than
      EBITDA for other companies. We have provided EBITDA because we
      believe it is a commonly used measure of financial performance
      in comparable companies and is provided to help investors
      evaluate companies on a consistent basis, as well as to enhance
      an understanding of our operating results. EBITDA should not be
      construed as either an alternative to net income or as an
      indicator of our operating performance or an alternative to
      cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Please refer to the
      following table that reconciles GAAP net income to EBITDA.

      Press Release Source: Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. On Thursday April 29, 2010, 4:00 pm EDT

      SAN DIEGO, April 29, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq:KTOS - News), a leading National Defense, Information Technology, Assurance and Security Solutions provider, today reported first quarter 2010 revenues of $68.7 million, and pro forma EBITDA of $5.9 million or 8.6% of revenues. Kratos' EBITDA margin rate increased approximately 18% on a year over year basis from the first quarter of 2009, and approximately 8% sequentially, above the fourth quarter of 2009. Kratos' Government Solutions business segment, where Kratos primarily performs its Department of Defense and National Security work, generated first quarter pro forma EBITDA of 9.3%, and first quarter operating income of 6.5%, both also significantly above the previously reported fiscal quarter. Kratos' first quarter book-to-bill ratio was approximately 1.3 to 1, with total backlog of approximately $583 million, and a qualified bid and proposal pipeline of approximately $1.5 billion. Kratos does not include in either backlog or its bid and proposal pipeline any amounts related to IDIQ contracts, GWAC or similar multi award, contingent tasking contract vehicles for which tasking has not been received. First quarter non-GAAP pro forma earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.11, excluding approximately $2.2 million in interest expense for deferred financing costs which were written-off related to the Company obtaining a new credit facility during the quarter. For the first quarter, the Company reported GAAP loss from continuing operations of $0.4 million, or $0.02 per share.



      Eric DeMarco, President and Chief Executive Officer, said "During the first quarter the Company continued to expand its profit margins, with cash flow from operations better than we previously expected, and an overall more favorable contract mix which contributed to our improved profitability. As we noted previously, certain Kratos higher margin ballistic missile defense, information assurance, cyber security, C5ISR and weapons systems sustainment business areas are seeing strong demand, while other areas of our business are being impacted by delays in government procurement decisions, formal contract award delays and contract protests. Over all, considering the current environment, we are very pleased with our first quarter performance, and we believe that Kratos is well positioned to address areas of United States National Security priority."



      Kratos' programmatic, contractual and operational highlights during the quarter included:



      Award of a Fully Funded Foreign Military Sales Weapon Systems Sustainment Prime Contract valued at over $48 million, for the overhaul, upgrade and sustainment of Air Defense Weapon System Munitions in support of a U.S. Allied Nation under the U.S. Army Foreign Military Sales program.

      Prime Contract Award for Kratos NueralStar Network Management and Protection software to manage Department of Defense Satellite Networks.

      Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Predator/Reaper Acquisition Prime Contract Task Order in excess of $1.8 million, under Kratos multi-year Consolidated Professional Services (CAPS) ID/IQ Contract at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

      Over $9 million in Modeling and Simulation Prime Contract Tasking Awarded to Kratos for the development and maintenance of phenomenology and lethality models supporting United States Missile Defense efforts.

      $3.2 Million in Navy Workforce Learning and Performance Contracts, to support the United States Navy next-generation Information Technology workforce.

      AEGIS Ballistic Missile Defense Task Orders for $7.1 million, to provide Ballistic Missile Defense related products and services, and to support engineering, integration and flight tests of a family of sub-orbital rockets used as diagnostic tracking vehicles that simulate a variety of potential enemy ballistic missile threats.

      Public Security and Safety Division new contract awards of approximately $9.5 million, for security system design, deployment, integration, operation and maintenance for strategically important assets and infrastructure in the United States.


      DeMarco concluded, "The business is performing well and we had a solid 1.3 to 1 book-to-bill ratio in the first quarter, with total contract awards of approximately $94 million, positioning Kratos to grow our business throughout 2010. We also expect to achieve our previously stated EBITDA and profitability targets for the fiscal year, and we are looking to generate strong cash flow from operations for the remainder of 2010."



      Conference Call



      There will be an analyst and investor conference call conducted by the Kratos management team to discuss the first quarter 2010 financial results today at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time/4:30 p.m. Eastern Time. The live discussion can be accessed via webcast on the Internet at http://www.kratosdefense.com/.

      Revenues of $99.1 Million, Including Quarterly Organic Sequential Revenue Growth of 15 Percent

      Pro Forma EBITDA Margin of 9.3% Increases Over 30% Above Prior Year

      Cash Flow Generated From Operations Excluding Transaction Expenses of $8.6 Million, Cash on the Balance Sheet of $43.4 Million

      SAN DIEGO, Aug. 5, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq:KTOS - News), a leading National Security Solutions provider, today reported second quarter 2010 revenues of $99.1 million, and pro forma EBITDA of $9.2 million, or 9.3% of revenues. Kratos' second quarter revenues of $99.1 million included sequential organic revenue growth of 15% above the first quarter of 2010 revenues of $68.7 million. Revenues of $20.0 million from the recently acquired Gichner Systems acquisition are also included in Kratos' second quarter operating results.

      Kratos' pro forma EBITDA margin rate increased over 30% on a year over year basis from the second quarter of 2009, which was $6.3 million or 7.0%, and Kratos' pro forma EBITDA margin rate increased approximately 8.0% sequentially, above the first quarter of 2010. Pro forma EBITDA reflects earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization and excluding acquisition expenses and stock compensation expense.

      Second quarter non-GAAP pro forma earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.10, excluding approximately $1.7 million in interest expense for deferred financing costs which were written-off related to the Company obtaining a new credit facility during the quarter, and excluding approximately $1.1 million in transaction and other costs related to the acquisition of Gichner, tax effected using a normal cash tax rate, or $0.5 million. For the second quarter, the Company reported GAAP income from continuing operations of $10.7 million, or $0.65 per share, which includes a non-recurring tax benefit of approximately $12.2 million recorded as a result of a reduction of the reserves against certain of Kratos' Net Operating Losses triggered by tax liabilities assumed in the Gichner acquisition.

      Eric DeMarco, President and Chief Executive Officer said, "Kratos' second quarter operating performance was very solid, including sequential organic growth of 15%, and a pro forma EBITDA margin rate of 9.3%, cash flow generated from operations, excluding the costs related to the acquisition of Gichner, of $8.6 million and cash on the balance sheet of $43.4 million. The integration of Gichner is proceeding on track and will be substantially completed in the next few months, the business is performing as expected, and we are already pursuing a number of new contract opportunities as a combined business."

      Certain Kratos' programmatic, contractual and operational highlights during the quarter included:
      A Space and Naval Warfare Systems Contract award with a potential value of approximately $51.0 million for tactical data link systems support at the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Pacific (SSC Pacific), with Kratos' partner Koam Engineering Systems, Inc. (KES).

      Fully Funded Twelve Month Engineering Task Awards of over $9.8 million for support and sustainment of certain Foreign Military Sales (FMS) weapons systems.

      Public Security and Safety Division new contract awards of nearly $10.0 million, for security system design, deployment, integration, operation and maintenance for strategically important assets and infrastructure in the United States.
      DeMarco concluded, "During the second quarter Kratos successfully won the recompete of one of our Company's largest contracts for an additional five years. We also continue to believe that Kratos' Weapons Systems Sustainment, Missile Defense, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance, Situational Awareness, Cyber Security, Sensors, Optics, Network Centric Warfare and Information Dominance related businesses will continue to be areas of National Security priority. Accordingly, we are increasing our previously communicated 2010 financial guidance for revenues up to $405.0 to $410.0 million, and increasing our pro forma EBITDA guidance to $37.0 to $38.0 million, the high end of the previously communicated range, or approximately 9.4%. We are also reiterating our previously communicated 2011 guidance for revenues of $470.0 to $480.0 million, and pro forma EBITDA of $49.0 to $52.0 million, or approximately 10.5%."

      Kratos - Künstliche Intelligenz für die Sicherheit
      http://www.kratosdefense.com/

      Mit einer bescheidenen Marktkapitalisierung von nur 2,1 Mrd. USD stehen die Chancen gut, dass die meisten Anleger noch nie davon gehört haben. ABER dieser kleine Rüstungsunternehmer wird sehr groß, sehr schnell :lick:

      Heute ist Kratos ein führender Nischenanbieter für Hochleistungsdrohnen sowie unbemannte Boden- und Seeschiffe. Es ist auch ein Akteur bei kurz- bis mittelschweren ballistischen Zielsystemen und Raketenunterstützungslösungen.

      KTOS ist auch in den Bereichen Cybersicherheit, Mikrowellenelektronik und C5ISR (Befehl, Kontrolle, Datenverarbeitung, Kommunikation, Kampfsysteme, Nachrichtendienste, Überwachung, Aufklärung) engagiert.

      Dieses breite und sich ergänzende Portfolio ist der Ort, an dem sich das Militär befindet und auf dem der vernetzte Kampfraum immer mehr Realität wird. Und solange Raketen- und Drohnenabwehr an Land oder auf See wichtig ist, ist KTOS gefragt.

      :)

      Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 61.465.010 von abgemeldet-676286 am 12.09.19 09:17:39Zwar handelt es sich bei Kratos "nur" um eine kleines Verteidigungsunternehmen, aber es hat ein großes Portfolio insbesondere als Nischenanbieter für Hochleistungsdrohnen sowie unbemannten Boden- und Seeschiffen.

      Die aktuellen Spannungen zwischen den USA und Iran werden sicherlich dazu beitragen, den Absatz zu erhöhen.

      Klar kann man nun überlegen, ob es ethisch gut ist, in Unternehmen zu investieren, welche für Kriegswaffen verkaufen. Andererseits helfen sie auch unsere Sicherheit zu bewahren. Denn alleine mit Diplomatie löst man (leider) noch immer keine Kriege.

      Wo das wunderbare und einzigartige Juwel Kratos herkommt:

      https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/KTOS/kratos-defens…

      Da ist in den nächsten Monaten und Jahren mächtig viel Luft nach oben.

      Gesetzt den Fall, jemand geht mit 400 Aktien zu 19 Euro hier rein, also mit überschaubaren 7600 Euro, könnte er, vorausgesetzt er lässt immer konsequent laufen, nach 5 Jahren 600.000 Euro sein Eigen in Aktien nennen.

      Dieses einfache Beispiel verdeutlicht, wie auch Menschen mit einem kleinen Geldbeutel in relativ kurzer Zeit zu einem für sie unfassbaren Vermögen kommen können.

      Hierfür braucht es nur 2 Voraussetzungen: 1. Man entdeckt unter zig tausend Aktien eine Disruptions-Aktie, die alles schlägt, und 2. man hält ab der Erkenntnis konsequent egal was passiert.

      So leicht kann Börse sein...

      Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (KTOS - Free Report) is set to release fourth-quarter and 2019 results on Feb 24, after market close.

      In the last reported quarter, the company delivered a positive earnings surprise of 28.57%:eek: Moreover, Kratos’ earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the trailing four quarters, the average positive surprise being 98.22%.:eek:

      Let’s see how things are shaping up prior to this announcement.

      Factors at Play

      During the fourth quarter, Kratos won a handful of major contracts:eek:, which might have boosted its quarterly backlog. :eek:

      Per the company’s announcement in the third-quarter earnings call, solid performance by its C5ISR Modular Systems division and microwave business is expected to have boosted the top line in the soon-to-be-reported quarter. Also, its industry-leading target drone business, the single source serving the United States Army, Navy and Air Force, is expected to have contributed to growth in the fourth quarter.
      :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

      Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 62.754.745 von Waldwanderer am 22.02.20 04:47:08Ob es dann gerade diese Aktie ist mit den Voraussetzungen kann man dann aber schon bezweifeln.

      Minus 22 Prozent nach mehr als enttäuschenden Zahlen wenn ich es kurz überschlage ist schon ne Hausnummer.

      Welcher Guru hat die denn empfohlen ?????
