First Quarter Summary
Fiscal 2017 first quarter revenues were 4% higher than in the corresponding period a year ago. Higher revenues primarily reflected foreign exchange rate changes which positively impacted the translation of revenues earned by foreign-based subsidiaries compared to the corresponding period a year ago, primarily reflecting the weakening of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S dollar and Euro.

By market, fiscal 2017 first quarter revenues from consumer products & electronics decreased 3% compared to the corresponding period a year ago. Revenues generated in the energy market increased 253% primarily due to higher Order Backlog entering the first quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to a year ago.  Revenues in the life sciences market decreased 11% primarily reflecting timing of project activities. Transportation revenues decreased 24% primarily reflecting lower Order Backlog entering the first quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to a year ago.

Fiscal 2017 first quarter earnings from operations were $22.6 million (9% operating margin) compared to $17.5 million (7% operating margin) in the first quarter of fiscal 2016. Excluding $5.3 million related to amortization of identifiable intangible assets recorded on the acquisitions of PA, IWK, and sortimat, first quarter fiscal 2017 adjusted earnings from operations were $27.9 million (11% margin). First quarter earnings from operations a year ago included $2.2 million of restructuring and severance costs and $7.7 million related to the amortization of identifiable intangible assets recorded on the acquisitions of PA, IWK, ATW, and sortimat. Excluding these items, adjusted earnings from operations a year ago were $27.4 million (11% margin).   

Depreciation and amortization expense was $8.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, compared to $11.2 million a year ago. The decrease primarily reflected lower amortization of identifiable intangible assets recorded on the acquisitions of PA, IWK, ATW and sortimat compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2016.

EBITDA was $31.5 million (12% EBITDA margin) in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to $28.7 million (11% EBITDA margin) in the first quarter of fiscal 2016.  Excluding restructuring and severance costs, first quarter fiscal 2016 EBITDA was $30.9 million (12% EBITDA margin).

Order Bookings

By customer market, increased Order Bookings in the transportation market more than offset lower Order Bookings in the consumer products and electronics markets.  Order Bookings in the life sciences market were flat. Foreign exchange rate changes also positively impacted the translation of Order Bookings from foreign-based ATS subsidiaries compared to the first quarter of 2016.
