Mr. Igal Zamir, CEO and President of TAT Technologies stated, "TAT reacted fast and effectively to the COVID 19 impact on the aerospace industry. In Q2 and Q3 of 2020 we adjusted the company's cost structure to the reduction in revenues during such period. We will continue to proactively monitor our cost structure and cash flow as the industry continues to manage the pandemic and its impact. Our strong balance sheet with net cash of over $19 million provides us the flexibility to serve our customers and in the same time maintain business development activities.

We are pleased that despite the pandemic, the company was able to continue its sales, marketing, and business development efforts with meaningful results. During the third quarter of 2020 we signed a 10- year contract with Honeywell for the repair of APU 331-2xx. This contract represents a substantial opportunity to increase our APU business. In order to support its execution, we will invest in machines and rotatable parts in the coming quarters to better support our clients.

In addition, we are proud that during the last six months we executed new, and renewed existing long-term agreements with MRO and OEM customers with potential aggregate revenues of $38 million for the coming years"

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company also presents Adjusted EBITDA. The adjustments to the Company's GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of the Company's underlying operational results, trends and performance. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income excluding the impact of: the Company's share in results of affiliated companies, share-based compensation, taxes on income, discontinued operation, financial (expenses) income, net, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA, however, should not be considered as alternative to net income and operating income for the period and may not be indicative of the historic operating results of the Company; nor it is meant to be predictive of potential future results. Adjusted EBITDA is not measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies. See reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA in pages 13 below.
