Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

We are a leading global provider of engineering and manufacturing services for high-performance products and high-cost-of failure applications used primarily in the aerospace and defense (“A&D”), industrial, natural resources, medical and other industries (collectively, “Industrial”). Our subsidiaries are organized into two strategic businesses: Electronic Systems segment and Structural Systems segment, each of which is a reportable operating segment. Electronic Systems designs, engineers and manufactures high-reliability products used in worldwide technology-driven markets including aerospace, defense, natural resources, industrial and medical and other end-use markets. Electronic Systems’ product offerings range from prototype development to complex assemblies. Structural Systems designs, engineers and manufactures large, complex contoured aerospace structural components and assemblies and supplies composite and metal bonded structures and assemblies. Structural Systems’ products are used on commercial aircraft, military fixed-wing aircraft and military and commercial rotary-wing aircraft. All reportable operating segments follow the same accounting principles.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ducommun Incorporated and its subsidiaries (“Ducommun,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), after eliminating intercompany balances and transactions. The December 31, 2015 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not contain all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Our significant accounting policies were described in Part IV, Item 15(a)(1), “Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. We followed the same accounting policies for interim reporting. The financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of recurring accruals, have been made that are necessary to fairly state our condensed consolidated financial position, statements of income, comprehensive income and cash flows in accordance with GAAP for the periods covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The results of operations for the three and six months ended July 2, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2016.

Our fiscal quarters typically end on the Saturday closest to the end of March, June and September for the first three fiscal quarters of each year, and ends on December 31 for our fourth fiscal quarter. As a result of using fiscal quarters for the first three quarters combined with leap years, our first and fourth fiscal quarters can range between 12 1/2 weeks to 13 1/2 weeks while the second and third fiscal quarters remain at a constant 13 weeks per fiscal quarter.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current year’s presentation.

Use of Estimates

Certain amounts and disclosures included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements required management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities (including forward loss reserves), revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding in each period. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, plus any potential dilutive shares that could be issued if exercised or converted into common stock in each period.

The net income (loss), weighted-average number of common shares outstanding used to compute earnings (loss) per share, were as follows:

Potentially dilutive stock options and stock units to purchase common stock, as shown below, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. However, these shares may be potentially dilutive common shares in the future.

Fair Value

Assets and liabilities that are measured, recorded or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis are categorized using the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value. Level 1, the highest level, refers to the values determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 2 refers to fair values estimated using significant observable inputs. Level 3, the lowest level, includes fair values estimated using significant unobservable inputs.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less. Our cash accounts are not reduced for checks written until the checks are presented for payment and paid by our bank. These assets are valued at cost, which approximates fair value, which we classify as Level 1. See Fair Value above.

Derivative Instruments

We recognize derivative instruments on our consolidated balance sheets at their fair value. On the date that we enter into a derivative contract, we designate the derivative instrument as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge, a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, or a derivative instrument that will not be accounted for using hedge accounting methods. As of July 2, 2016, all of our derivative instruments were designated as cash flow hedges.

We record changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument that is highly effective and that is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax until our earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows of the underlying hedge. We record any hedge ineffectiveness and amounts excluded from effectiveness testing in current period earnings within interest expense. We report changes in the fair values of derivative instruments that are not designated or do not qualify for hedge accounting in current period earnings. We classify cash flows from derivative instruments on the consolidated statements of cash flows in the same category as the item being hedged or on a basis consistent with the nature of the instrument.

Table of Contents

When we determine that a derivative instrument is not highly effective as a hedge, we discontinue hedge accounting prospectively. In all situations in which we discontinue hedge accounting and the derivative instrument remains outstanding, we will carry the derivative instrument at its fair value on our consolidated balance sheets and recognize subsequent changes in its fair value in our current period earnings.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost being determined using a moving average cost basis for raw materials and actual cost for work-in-process and finished goods, with units being relieved and charged to cost of sales on a first-in, first-out basis. Market value for raw materials is based on replacement cost and for other inventory classifications it is based on net realizable value. Inventoried costs include raw materials, outside processing, direct labor and allocated overhead, adjusted for any abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) incurred. Costs under long-term contracts are accumulated into, and removed from, inventory on the same basis as other contracts. We assess the inventory carrying value and reduce it, if necessary, to its net realizable value based on customer orders on hand, and internal demand forecasts using management’s best estimates given information currently available. We maintain a reserve for potentially excess and obsolete inventories and inventories that are carried at costs that are higher than their estimated net realizable values.

Production Cost of Contracts

Production cost of contracts includes non-recurring production costs, such as design and engineering costs, and tooling and other special-purpose machinery necessary to build parts as specified in a contract. Production costs of contracts are recorded to cost of goods sold using the units of delivery method. We review the value of the production cost of contracts on a quarterly basis to ensure when added to the estimated cost to complete, the value is not greater than the estimated realizable value of the related contracts.

Assets Held For Sale

In the fourth quarter of 2015, we made the decision to sell our Huntsville, Alabama and Iuka, Mississippi (collectively, “Miltec”) operations and our Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania operation, both of which were part of our Electronic Systems operating segment, and as a result, we met the criteria for assets held for sale. However, the proposed sale of these two operations did not represent a strategic shift in our business and thus, were included in the ongoing operating results in the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented.

On January 22, 2016, we entered into an agreement, and completed the sale on the same date, to sell our operation located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for a final sales price of $38.5 million in cash. We divested this facility as part of our overall strategy to streamline operations, which includes consolidating our footprint. Net assets sold were $24.0 million, net liabilities sold were $4.0 million, and direct transaction costs incurred were $0.2 million, resulting in a gain on divestiture of $18.3 million.

In February 2016, we entered into an agreement to sell our Miltec operation for a preliminary sales price of $14.6 million, in cash, subject to post-closing adjustments. We divested this facility as part of our overall strategy to streamline operations, which includes consolidating our footprint. We completed the sale on March 25, 2016. Preliminary net assets sold were $15.4 million, net liabilities sold were $2.6 million, and direct transaction costs incurred during the current period were $1.3 million, resulting in a gain on divestiture of $0.5 million.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Accumulated other comprehensive loss, as reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets under the equity section, was comprised of cumulative pension and retirement liability adjustments and changes in the fair value, net of tax, of a derivative instrument that is highly effective and that is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge.

Provision for Estimated Losses on Contracts

We record provisions for the total anticipated losses on contracts considering total estimated costs to complete the contract compared to total anticipated revenues in the period in which such losses are identified. The provisions for estimated losses on contracts require us to make certain estimates and assumptions, including those with respect to the future revenue under a contract and the future cost to complete the contract. Our estimate of the future cost to complete a contract may include assumptions as to improvements in manufacturing efficiency, reductions in operating and material costs, and our ability to resolve claims and assertions with our customers. If any of these or other assumptions and estimates do not materialize in the future, we may be required to record additional provisions for estimated losses on contracts.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Guidance Adopted in 2016

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, “Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30)” (“ASU 2015-15”), which provides guidance on the presentation and subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs associated with line-of-credit arrangements. Other guidance does not address presentation or subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. Thus, the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. The new guidance was effective for us beginning January 1, 2016. We did not have debt issuance costs associated with line-of-credit arrangements and thus, the adoption of this new guidance did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-10, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” (“ASU 2015-10”), which covers a wide range of Topics in the Codification. The amendments in ASU 2015-10 represent changes to make minor corrections or minor improvements to the Codification that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost on most entities. The amendments in this new guidance that require transition guidance were effective for us beginning January 1, 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40):

Table of Contents

Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement” (“ASU 2015-05”), which provides guidance on fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The new guidance was effective for us beginning January 1, 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“ASU 2015-03”), which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. Under ASU 2015-03, an entity presents such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of those costs is reported as interest expense. The new guidance was effective for us beginning January 1, 2016. As a result of the adoption of this new guidance, we reclassed $3.7 million of debt issuance costs against $190.0 million of total debt as of July 2, 2016.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, “Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20)” (“ASU 2015-01”), which eliminates from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. Current guidance requires separate classification, presentation, and disclosure of extraordinary events and transactions. In addition, an event or transaction is presumed to be an ordinary and usual activity of the reporting entity unless evidence clearly supports its classification as an extraordinary item. The new guidance was effective for us beginning January 1, 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period” (“ASU 2014-12”), which requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. Thus, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The new guidance was effective for us beginning January 1, 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have a sgnificant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” (“ASU 2016-12”), which amends the guidance in the new revenue standard on collectability, noncash consideration, presentation of sales tax, and transition. The amendments are intended to address implementation issues and provide additional practical expedients to reduce the cost and complexity of applying the new revenue standard. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods, which will be our interim period beginning January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods with that reporting period. We are evaluating the impact of this standard.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-11, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2014-09 and 2014-06 Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 EITF Meeting” (“ASU 2016-11”), which clarifies revenue and expense recognition for freight costs, accounting for shipping and handling fees and costs, and accounting for consideration given by a vendor to a customer. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods, which will be our interim period beginning January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods with that reporting period. We are evaluating the impact of this standard.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” (“ASU 2016-10”), which clarifies the following two aspects of Topic 606: (a) identifying performance obligations; and (b) the licensing implementation guidance. The amendments do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods, which will be our interim period beginning January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods with that reporting period. We are evaluating the impact of this standard.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”), which is intended to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years, which will be our interim period beginning January 1, 2017. Early adoption is permitted in

Table of Contents

any interim or annual reporting period. We are evaluating the impact of this standard and currently do not anticipate it will have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-05, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships” (“ASU 2016-05”), which clarifies that a change in the counter party to a derivative instrument designated as a hedging instrument does not require dedesignation of that hedging relationship, provided that all other hedge accounting criteria are met. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years, which will be our interim period beginning January 1, 2017. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an interim period on a modified retrospective basis. We are evaluating the impact of this standard and currently do not anticipate it will have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires lessees to present right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Lessees are required to apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, which will be our interim period beginning January 1, 2019. We are evaluating the impact of this standard and currently anticipate it will impact our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330)” (“ASU 2015-11”), which requires inventory within the scope of ASU 2015-11 to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) or the retail inventory value. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years, which will be our interim period beginning January 1, 2017. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. We are evaluating the impact of this standard, but currently do not anticipate it will have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-15”), which defines management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 also provide principles and definitions that are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of disclosures in the financial statement footnotes. The new guidance is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, which will be our year ending December 31, 2016, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, which will be our interim period beginning January 1, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact of this standard and currently do not anticipate it will have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”), which outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. It requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of the contract(s) which include (i) identifying the contract(s) with the customer, (ii) identifying the separate performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determining the transaction price, (iv) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (v) recognizing revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Thus, it depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration an entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Companies have the option of applying the provisions of ASU 2014-09 either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this guidance recognized at the date of initial application. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue From Contracts With Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2015-14”), which defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The new guidance is effective for us beginning January 1, 2018 and will provide us additional time to evaluate the method and impact that ASU 2014-09 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 2. Restructuring Activities

Summary of 2015 Restructuring Plans

In September 2015, management approved and commenced implementation of several restructuring actions, including organizational re-alignment, consolidation and relocation of the New York facilities that was completed in December 2015, closure of the Houston facility that was completed in December 2015, and closure of the St. Louis facility that was completed in April 2016, all of which are part of our overall strategy to streamline operations. We have recorded cumulative expenses of

Table of Contents

$2.2 million for severance and benefits and loss on early exit from leases. We do not expect to record additional expenses related to these restructuring plans.

As of July 2, 2016, we have accrued $0.1 million for severance and benefits and early exit from lease in the Electronic Systems segment and $0.7 million for severance and benefits and loss on early exit from lease in the Structural Systems segment, all of which were charged to selling, general and administrative expenses.

Summary of 2016 Restructuring Plan

In May 2016, management approved and commenced implementation of the closure of one of our Tulsa facilities that was completed in June 2016, and is part of our overall strategy to streamline operations. We have recorded cumulative expenses of $0.2 million for severance and benefits and loss on early exit from a lease. We do not expect to record additional expenses related to this restructuring plan.

As of July 2, 2016, we have accrued $0.1 million for loss on early exit from lease in the Electronic Systems segment, all of which were charged to selling, general and administrative expenses.

Our restructuring activities in the six months ended July 2, 2016 were as follows (in thousands):



	December 31, 2015		Six Months Ended July 2, 2016							July 2, 2016
	Balance		Charges		Cash Payments			Change in Estimates		Balance
Severance and benefits	$	722	$	47	$	(571	)	$	—	$	198

Ending balance	$	1,903	$	180	$	(971	)	$	—	$	1,112

Note 3. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or the price that would be paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The accounting standard provides a framework for measuring fair value using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires us to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and interest rate cap derivatives designated as cash flow hedging instruments. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows (in thousands):



	As of July 2, 2016								As of December 31, 2015

(1) Included as cash and cash equivalents.

(2) Interest rate cap hedge premium included as other current assets and other assets.

The fair value of the interest rate cap hedge agreements was determined using pricing models that use observable market inputs as of the balance sheet date, a Level 2 measurement.

There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 financial instruments in the three months ended July 2, 2016.

Note 4. Financial Instruments

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

We periodically enter into cash flow derivative transactions, such as interest rate cap agreements, to hedge exposure to various risks related to interest rates. We assess the effectiveness of the interest rate cap hedges at inception of the hedge. We recognize all derivatives at their fair value. For cash flow designated hedges, the effective portion of the changes in fair value of the derivative contract are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes, and are recognized in net earnings at the time earnings are affected by the hedged transaction. Adjustments to record changes in fair values of the derivative contracts that are attributable to the ineffective portion of the hedges, if any, are recognized in earnings. We present derivative instruments in our consolidated statements of cash flows’ operating, investing, or financing activities consistent with the cash flows of the hedged item.

Our interest rate cap hedges were designated as cash flow hedges and deemed highly effective at the inception of the hedges. These interest rate cap hedges mature concurrently with the term loan in June 2020. During the three months ended July 2, 2016, the interest rate cap hedges continued to be highly effective and $0.1 million, net of tax, was recognized in other comprehensive income. No amount was recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three months ended July 2, 2016. See Note 8.

The recorded fair value of the derivative financial instruments in the consolidated balance sheets were as follows:



	(In thousands) July 2, 2016				(In thousands) December 31, 2015
	Other Current Assets		Other Long Term Assets		Other Current Assets		Other Long Term Assets

Note 5. Inventories

Inventories consisted of the following:



	(In thousands)
	July 2, 2016		December 31, 2015
Raw materials and supplies	$	67,668	$	61,840

	136,200		121,212
Less progress payments	8,611		5,808
Total	$	127,589	$	115,404

We net advances from customers related to inventory purchases against inventories in the consolidated balance sheets.

Note 6. Goodwill

Gross goodwill and accumulated goodwill impairment were $164.3 million and $81.7 million, respectively, both as of July 2, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The goodwill is related to the Electronic Systems segment.

Certain factors may result in the need to perform an impairment test prior to the fourth quarter, which is when we perform our annual goodwill impairment test, including significant under performance of our business relative to expected operating results, significant adverse economic and industry trends, significant decline in our market capitalization for an extended period of time relative to net book value, a decision to divest individual businesses within a reporting unit, or a decision to group individual businesses differently. At times, our market capitalization had declined below book value, which if it continues for an extended period of time, is a factor that could lead to a conclusion that a triggering event has occurred. As our market capitalization declines recently have been temporary in nature and our market capitalization has exceeded our book value, we do not consider

these temporary declines in market capitalization to be a triggering event in the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2016. However, it is considered at least reasonably possible that our determination that goodwill for our Electronic Systems segment was not impaired could change in the near term if any the factors noted above occurs.

Note 7. Accrued Liabilities

The components of accrued liabilities were as follows:



	(In thousands)
	July 2, 2016		December 31, 2015
Accrued compensation	$	16,803	$	13,521

Note 8. Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt and the current period interest rates were as follows:



	(In thousands)
	July 2, 2016			December 31, 2015
New term loan	$	185,000		$	245,000
New revolving credit facility	5,000			—

Total long-term debt, net of debt issuance costs	$	186,317		$	240,661
Weighted-average interest rate	3.14		%	3.07		%

In June 2015, we completed a new credit facility to replace the Existing Credit Facilities. The new credit facility consisted of a $275.0 million senior secured term loan, which matures on June 26, 2020 (“New Term Loan”), and a $200.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (“New Revolving Credit Facility”), which matures on June 26, 2020 (collectively, the “New Credit Facilities”). The New Credit Facilities bear interest, at our option, at a rate equal to either (i) the Eurodollar Rate (defined as LIBOR) plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.75% per year or (ii) the Base Rate (defined as the highest of [a] Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, [b] Bank of America’s prime rate, and [c] the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00%) plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.50% to 1.75% per year, in each case based upon the consolidated total net adjusted leverage ratio. The undrawn portions of the commitments of the New Credit Facilities are subject to a commitment fee ranging from 0.175% to 0.300%, based upon the consolidated total net adjusted leverage ratio.

Further, we are required to make mandatory prepayments of amounts outstanding under the New Term Loan. The mandatory prepayments will be made quarterly, equal to 5.0% per year of the original aggregate principal amount during the first two years and increase to 7.5% per year during the third year, and increase to 10.0% per year during the fourth year and fifth years, with the remaining balance payable on June 26, 2020. The loans under the New Revolving Credit Facility are due on June 26, 2020. As of July 2, 2016, we were in compliance with all covenants required under the New Credit Facilities.

We have been making voluntary principal prepayments on a quarterly basis on our senior secured term loan and in conjunction with the closing of the New Credit Facilities in second quarter 2015, we drew down $65.0 million on the New Revolving Credit Facility and used those proceeds along with current cash on hand to extinguish the existing senior secured term loan of $80.0

Table of Contents

million. We expensed the unamortized debt issuance costs related to the existing senior secured term loan of $2.8 million as part of extinguishing the existing senior secured term loan in second quarter 2015. We also incurred $4.8 million of debt issuance costs related to the New Credit Facilities and those costs were capitalized and are being amortized over the five year life of the New Credit Facilities.

In addition, we retired all of the $200.0 million senior unsecured notes (“Existing Notes”) in July 2015. We drew down on the New Term Loan in the amount of $275.0 million. Along with the call notice amount and paying the call premium of $9.8 million, we also paid down the $65.0 million outstanding on the New Revolving Credit Facility. We expensed the call premium of $9.8 million and debt issuance costs related to the Existing Notes of $2.1 million upon extinguishing the Existing Notes in July 2015.

Further, we made voluntary principal prepayments of $5.0 million and $60.0 million under the New Term Loan during the three and six months ended July 2, 2016, respectively.

As of July 2, 2016, we had $193.5 million of unused borrowing capacity under the New Revolving Credit Facility, after deducting $1.5 million for standby letters of credit.

The New Credit Facilities were entered into by us (“Parent Company”) and guaranteed by all of our subsidiaries, other than one subsidiary (“Subsidiary Guarantors”) that was considered minor. The Parent Company has no independent assets or operations and the Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally guarantee, on a senior unsecured basis, the New Credit Facilities. Therefore, no condensed consolidating financial information for the Parent Company and its subsidiaries are presented.

In October 2015, we entered into interest rate cap hedges designated as cash flow hedges with maturity dates of June 2020, and in aggregate, totaling $135.0 million of our debt. We paid a total of $1.0 million in connection with entering into the interest rate cap hedges. See Note 4 for further discussion.

Note 9. Shareholders’ Equity

We are authorized to issue five million shares of preferred stock. At July 2, 2016 and December 31, 2015, no preferred shares were issued or outstanding.

Note 10. Employee Benefit Plans

The components of net periodic pension expense were as follows:



	(In thousands)						(In thousands)
	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended

Note 11. Indemnifications

We have made guarantees and indemnities under which we may be required to make payments to a guaranteed or indemnified party, in relation to certain transactions, including revenue transactions in the ordinary course of business. In connection with certain facility leases, we have indemnified our lessors for certain claims arising from the facility or the lease. We indemnify our directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware.

However, we have a directors and officers insurance policy that may reduce our exposure in certain circumstances and may enable us to recover a portion of future amounts that may be payable, if any. The duration of the guarantees and indemnities varies and, in many cases is indefinite but subject to statute of limitations. The majority of guarantees and indemnities do not provide any limitations of the maximum potential future payments we could be obligated to make. Historically, payments related to these guarantees and indemnities have been immaterial. We estimate the fair value of our indemnification obligations as insignificant based on this history and insurance coverage and have, therefore, not recorded any liability for these guarantees and indemnities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note 12. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is generally less than the U.S. federal statutory rate, primarily due to research and development (“R&D”) tax credits and deductions available for domestic production activities. Our effective tax rate may be subject to fluctuations during the year as new information is obtained, which may affect the assumptions used to estimate the annual effective tax rate, including factors such as expected utilization of R&D tax credits, valuation allowances against deferred tax assets, the recognition or derecognition of tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions, and changes in or the interpretation of tax laws in jurisdictions where we conduct business. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of our assets and liabilities along with net operating loss and tax credit carryovers.

We record a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets to reduce the net carrying value to an amount that we believe is more likely than not to be realized. When we establish or reduce our valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, the provision for income taxes will increase or decrease, respectively, in the period when that determination is made.

We recorded income tax expense of $1.5 million (effective tax rate of 28%) for the three months ended July 2, 2016 compared to an income tax expense of $1.3 million (effective tax rate of 42%) for the three months ended July 4, 2015. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended July 2, 2016 compared to the three months ended July 4, 2015 was primarily due to the U.S. Federal research and development tax credit that was permanently extended in the fourth quarter of 2015 and the deduction for Qualified Domestic Production Activities.

We recorded income tax expense of $8.6 million (effective tax rate of 33%) for the six months ended July 2, 2016 compared to an income tax expense of $0.2 million (effective tax rate of 807%) for the six months ended July 4, 2015. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the six months ended July 2, 2016 compared to the six months ended July 4, 2015 was primarily due to minimal pre-tax earnings in the six months ended July 4, 2015 in addition to the U.S. Federal research and development tax credit that was permanently extended in the fourth quarter of 2015 and the deduction for Qualified Domestic Production Activities.

Our unrecognized tax benefits were $3.3 million and $3.0 million as of July 2, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. $2.4 million, if recognized, would affect the annual income tax rate. We do not anticipate any significant increases or decreases to our unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months.

Note 13. Contingencies

On October 8, 2014, the United States District Court for the District of Kansas (the “District Court”) granted summary judgment in favor of The Boeing Company (“Boeing”) and Ducommun and dismissed the lawsuit entitled United States of America ex rel Taylor Smith, Jeannine Prewitt and James Ailes v. The Boeing Company and Ducommun Inc.. The lawsuit was a qui tam action brought by three former Boeing employees (“Relators”) against Boeing and Ducommun on behalf of the United States of America for violations of the United States False Claims Act. On June 13, 2016, the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit affirmed the District Court’s decision and on July 8, 2016 denied Relators’ petition for rehearing.

Structural Systems has been directed by California environmental agencies to investigate and take corrective action for groundwater contamination at its facilities located in El Mirage and Monrovia, California. Based on currently available information, Ducommun has established an accrual for its estimated liability for such investigation and corrective action of $1.5 million at July 2, 2016, which is reflected in other long-term liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet.

Table of Contents

Structural Systems also faces liability as a potentially responsible party for hazardous waste disposed at landfills located in Casmalia and West Covina, California. Structural Systems and other companies and government entities have entered into consent decrees with respect to these landfills with the United States Environmental Protection Agency and/or California environmental agencies under which certain investigation, remediation and maintenance activities are being performed. Based on currently available information, Ducommun preliminarily estimates that the range of its future liabilities in connection with the landfill located in West Covina, California is between $0.4 million and $3.1 million. Ducommun has established an accrual for its estimated liability, in connection with the West Covina landfill of $0.4 million at July 2, 2016, which is reflected in other long-term liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet. Ducommun’s ultimate liability in connection with these matters will depend upon a number of factors, including changes in existing laws and regulations, the design and cost of construction, operation and maintenance activities, and the allocation of liability among potentially responsible parties.

In the normal course of business, Ducommun and its subsidiaries are defendants in certain other litigation, claims and inquiries, including matters relating to environmental laws. In addition, Ducommun makes various commitments and incurs contingent liabilities. While it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these matters, Ducommun does not presently expect that any sum it may be required to pay in connection with these matters would have a material adverse effect on its condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 14. Business Segment Information

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

Ducommun Incorporated (“Ducommun,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is a leading global provider of engineering and manufacturing services for high-performance products and high-cost-of failure applications used primarily in the aerospace, defense, and sophisticated industrial applications. We differentiate ourselves as a full-service solution-based provider, offering a wide range of value-added products and services in our primary businesses of electronics, structures and integrated solutions. We operate through two primary business segments: Electronic Systems and Structural Systems, each of which is a reportable segment.

Second quarter 2016 highlights:


•	Second quarter revenues were $133.4 million


•	Net income of $3.9 million, or $0.34 per diluted share


•	Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $13.7 million

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) was $13.7 million and $19.7 million for the three months ended July 2, 2016 and July 4, 2015, respectively.

When viewed with our financial results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and accompanying reconciliations, we believe Adjusted EBITDA provides additional useful information to clarify and enhance the understanding of the factors and trends affecting our past performance and future prospects. We define these measures, explain how they are calculated and provide reconciliations of these measures to the most comparable GAAP measure in the table below. Adjusted EBITDA and the related financial ratios, as presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”), are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. They are not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities as measures of our liquidity. The presentation of these measures should not be interpreted to mean that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.

We use Adjusted EBITDA non-GAAP operating performance measures internally as complementary financial measures to evaluate the performance and trends of our businesses. We present Adjusted EBITDA and the related financial ratios, as applicable, because we believe that measures such as these provide useful information with respect to our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditures, working capital requirements and overall operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations include:


•	They do not reflect our cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;


•	They do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;


•	They do not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;


•	Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;


•	They are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows;


•	They do not reflect the impact on earnings of charges resulting from matters unrelated to our ongoing operations; and


•	Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently from us, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Table of Contents

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA and the related financial ratios should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as a measure of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations. You should compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only as supplemental information. See our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Form 10-Q.

However, in spite of the above limitations, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our results of operations because these measures:


•	Are widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items excluded from the calculation of such terms, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired, among other factors;


•	Help investors to evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the effect of our capital structure from our operating performance; and


•	Are used by our management team for various other purposes in presentations to our Board of Directors as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting.

The following financial items have been added back to or subtracted from our net income when calculating Adjusted EBITDA:


•	Interest expense may be useful to investors for determining current cash flow;


•	Income tax expense may be useful to investors because it represents the taxes which may be payable for the period and the change in deferred taxes during the period, and may reduce cash flow available for use in our business;


•	Depreciation may be useful to investors because it generally represents the wear and tear on our property and equipment used in our operations;


•	Amortization expense may be useful to investors because it represents the estimated attrition of our acquired customer base and the diminishing value of product rights;


•	Stock-based compensation may be useful to our investors for determining current cash flow;


•	Gain on divestitures may be useful to our investors in evaluating our core operating performance; and


•	Loss on extinguishment of debt my be useful to our investors in determining current cash flow.

Reconciliations of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA and the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net revenues were as follows:

Net revenues for the three months ended July 2, 2016 were $133.4 million, compared to $174.8 million for the three months ended July 4, 2015. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to the following:


•	$17.1 million lower revenues in the industrial end-use markets mainly due to the divestiture of the Pittsburgh operation in January 2016 and the closure of the Houston operation in December 2015; and


•	$25.8 million lower revenues in the military and space end-use markets mainly due to the divestiture of the Miltec operations in March 2016 and program cancellations and budget changes in the prior year; this impacted our fixed-wing and helicopter platforms and pushed out scheduled deliveries.

Net revenues for the six months ended July 2, 2016 were $275.6 million, compared to $347.8 million for the six months ended July 4, 2015. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to the following:


•	$35.1 million lower revenues in the industrial end-use markets mainly due to the divestiture of the Pittsburgh operation in January 2016 and the closure of the Houston operation in December 2015; and


•	$39.0 million lower revenues in the military and space end-use markets mainly due to the divestiture of the Miltec operations in March 2016 and program cancellations and budget changes in the prior year; this impacted our fixed-wing and helicopter platforms and pushed out scheduled deliveries of these products to customers.

Net Revenues by Major Customers

A significant portion of our net revenues are from our top ten customers as follows:



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

Table of Contents

The Boeing Company (“Boeing”), Raytheon Company (“Raytheon”), Spirit Aerosystems Holdings, Inc. (“Spirit”), and United Technologies Corporation (“United Technologies”) represented the following percentages of total accounts receivable:



	July 2, 2016		December 31, 2015
Boeing	15	%	13	%
Raytheon	7	%	12	%
Spirit	10	%	7	%
United Technologies	4	%	5	%

The net revenues and accounts receivable from Boeing, Raytheon, Spirit, and United Technologies are diversified over a number of commercial, military and space programs and were generated by both operating segments.

Gross Profit

Gross profit consists of net revenues less cost of sales. Cost of sales includes the cost of production of finished products and other expenses related to inventory management, manufacturing quality, and order fulfillment. Gross profit margin as a percentage of net revenues increased year-over-year in the three months ended July 2, 2016 to 20% compared to the three months ended July 4, 2015 of 18% primarily due to the following:


•	Total material costs as a percentage of sales decreased 2% or $2.8 million year-over-year as a result of our ongoing supply chain initiatives, improved operating performance, and favorable product mix.

Gross profit margin increased year-over-year in the six months ended July 2, 2016 to 19% compared to the six months ended July 4, 2015 of 17% primarily due to the following:


•	Total material costs as a percentage of sales decreased 3% or $7.5 million year-over-year as a result of our ongoing supply chain initiatives, improved operating performance, and favorable product mix.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”)

SG&A expenses decreased $1.4 million year-over-year in the three months ended July 2, 2016 compared to the three months ended July 4, 2015 primarily due to the following:


•	A decrease of $2.9 million related to the divestitures of the Pittsburgh and Miltec operations and closures of facilities;


•	Partially offset by an increase of $1.0 million in compensation and benefit costs.

SG&A expenses decreased $1.9 million year-over-year in the six months ended July 2, 2016 compared to the six months ended July 4, 2015 primarily due to the following:


•	A decrease of $4.3 million related to the divestitures of the Pittsburgh in January 2016 and Miltec operations in March 2016 and closures of facilities;


•	Partially offset by an increase of $0.9 million in research and development costs related to new technology development;


•	An increase of $0.9 million related to one-time retirement charges; and


•	An increase of $0.8 million in professional services fees.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased year over year in the three and six months ended July 2, 2016 compared to the three and six months ended July 4, 2015 primarily due to a lower outstanding debt balance as a result of voluntary principal prepayments of our term loan and/or a lower average interest rate as a result of completing the refinancing of our debt in July 2015.

Gain on Divestitures

Gain on divestitures for the six months ended July 2, 2016 consisted of the divestitures during the first quarter of 2016 of the Pittsburgh operation with a pretax gain of $18.3 million and the Miltec operation with a pretax gain of $0.5 million. (see Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q).

Income Tax Expense

Table of Contents

rate for the three months ended July 2, 2016 compared to the three months ended July 4, 2015 was primarily due to the U.S. Federal research and development tax credit that was permanently extended in the fourth quarter of 2015 and the deduction for Qualified Domestic Production Activities.

Net Income (Loss) and Earnings (Loss) per Share

Net income and earnings per share for the three months ended July 2, 2016 were $3.9 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, compared to a net income and earnings per share of $1.8 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the three months ended July 4, 2015. The increase in net income for the three months ended July 2, 2016 compared to a net income for the three months ended July 4, 2015 was primarily due to lower interest expense of $4.5 million and improved operating performance, partially offset by the effect of lower revenues.

Net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share for the six months ended July 2, 2016 were $17.4 million, or $1.55 per diluted share, compared to a net loss and loss per share of $(0.2) million, or $(0.02) per share, for the six months ended July 4, 2015. The increase in net income for the six months ended July 2, 2016 compared to a net loss for the six months ended July 4, 2015 was primarily due to a pretax gain on divestitures of the Pittsburgh and Miltec operations of $18.8 million and improved operating performance.

Business Segment Performance

We report our financial performance based upon the two reportable operating segments: Structural Systems and Electronic Systems. The results of operations differ between our reportable operating segments due to differences in competitors, customers, extent of proprietary deliverables and performance. The following table summarizes our business segment performance for the three and six months ended July 2, 2016 and July 4, 2015:

which impacted scheduled deliveries on our fixed-wing and helicopter platforms; and


•	$4.6 million decrease in commercial aerospace revenue related to the timing of certain shipments on a large airframe platform and the wind down of a regional jet program.

Structural Systems’ net revenues in the six months ended July 2, 2016 compared to the six months ended July 4, 2015 decreased $23.4 million primarily due to the following:

•	$8.1 million decrease in commercial aerospace revenue mainly due to the wind down of a regional jet program, and continued softness in the commercial helicopter end-use market.

The Structural Systems segment operating income in the three and six months ended July 2, 2016 compared to the three and six months ended July 4, 2015 decreased primarily due to the effect of lower revenues in both the three months and six months of fiscal 2016 compared to the three and six months in the prior year.

Structural Systems segment Adjusted EBITDA was $6.5 million or 11% of revenue and $11.3 million or 9% of revenue, for the three and six months of fiscal 2016, respectively, compared to $10.5 million or 14% of revenue and $15.1 million or 10% of revenue, for the comparable three and six months in the prior year, respectively.

Electronic Systems

Electronic Systems’ net revenues in the three months ended July 2, 2016 compared to the three months ended July 4, 2015 decreased $26.0 million primarily due to the following:


•	$17.1 million decrease in industrial revenues mainly due to the divestiture of the Pittsburgh operations in January 2016 and the closure of the Houston operation in December 2015; and


•	$15.0 million decrease in military and space revenue mainly due to the divestiture of the Miltec operations in March 2016 and program cancellations and budget changes in the prior year; this impacted scheduled deliveries on our fixed-wing and helicopter platforms;


•	Partially offset by $6.1 million increase in commercial aerospace revenue mainly due to added content with our existing customers.

Electronic Systems’ net revenues in the six months ended July 2, 2016 compared to the six months ended July 4, 2015 decreased $48.8 million primarily due to the following:


•	$35.1 million decrease in industrial revenues mainly due to the divestiture of the Pittsburgh operations in January 2016 and the closure of the Houston operation in December 2015; and


•	$23.6 million decrease in military and space revenue mainly due to the divestiture of the Miltec operations in March 2016 and program cancellations and budget changes in the prior year; this impacted scheduled deliveries on our fixed-wing and helicopter platforms;


•	Partially offset by $10.0 million increase in our commercial aerospace revenue mainly due to added content with existing customers.

Electronic Systems’ segment operating income in the three months ended July 2, 2016 compared to the three months ended July 4, 2015 decreased primarily due to the effect of lower revenues. Electronic Systems’ segment operating income in the six months ended July 2, 2016 compared to the six months ended July 4, 2015 increased primarily due to a pretax gain on divestitures of the Pittsburgh and Miltec operations of $18.8 million.

Electronic Systems segment Adjusted EBITDA was $10.5 million or 14% of revenue and $39.4 million or 26% of revenue, for the three and six months of fiscal 2016, respectively, compared to $12.1 million or 12% of revenue and $22.7 million or 11% of revenue, for the comparable three and six months in the prior year, respectively.

Corporate General and Administrative (“CG&A”)

CG&A expenses increased $0.5 million in the three months ending July 2, 2016 compared to the three months ended July 4, 2015 primarily due to higher compensation and benefit costs of $1.0 million partially offset by other cost reduction initiatives of $0.5 million. CG&A expenses increased $0.5 million in the six months ended July 2, 2016 compared to the six months ended July 4, 2015 primarily due to one-time retirement charges of $0.9 million partially offset by other cost reduction initiatives of $0.4 million.

Backlog

Backlog is subject to delivery delays or program cancellations, which are beyond our control. Backlog is affected by timing differences in the placement of customer orders and tends to be concentrated in several programs to a greater extent than our net revenues. Backlog in industrial markets tends to be of a shorter duration and is generally fulfilled within a 3-month period. As a result of these factors, trends in our overall level of backlog may not be indicative of trends in our future net revenues. $429.7 million of total backlog is expected to be delivered over the next 12 months. The following table summarizes our backlog as of July 2, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Available Liquidity

Total debt, the weighted-average interest rate, cash and cash equivalents and available credit facilities were as follows:



	(In millions)
	July 2,			December 31,
	2016			2015
Total debt, including long-term portion	$	190.0		$	245.0
Weighted-average interest rate on debt	3.14		%	3.07		%

Revolving Credit Facility interest rate	5.00		%	—		%
Cash and cash equivalents	$	9.2		$	5.5
Unused Revolving Credit Facility	$	193.5		$	198.5

In June 2015, we completed a new credit facility to replace the Existing Credit Facilities. The new credit facility consists of a $275.0 million senior secured term loan, which matures on June 26, 2020 (“New Term Loan”), and a $200.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (“New Revolving Credit Facility”), which matures on June 26, 2020 (collectively, the “New Credit Facilities”). We are required to make mandatory prepayments of amounts outstanding under the New Term Loan. In addition, we retired all of the $200.0 million senior unsecured notes (“Existing Notes”) in July 2015. We drew down on the New Term Loan in the amount of $275.0 million. Along with the call notice amount and paying the call premium of $9.8 million, we also paid down the $65.0 million drawn on the New Revolving Credit Facility in the previous quarter. As of July 2,

Table of Contents

2016, we were in compliance with all covenants required under the New Credit Facilities. See Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for further information.

We expect to spend a total of $18.0 million to $22.0 million for capital expenditures in 2016 financed by cash generated from operations, principally to support new contract awards at Structural Systems and Electronic Systems. As part of our strategic plan to become a Tier 2 supplier, additional up-front investment in tooling will be required for newer programs which have higher engineering content and higher levels of complexity in assemblies.

We continue to depend on operating cash flow and the availability of our New Revolving Credit Facility to provide short-term liquidity. Cash generated from operations and bank borrowing capacity is expected to provide sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations during the next twelve months.

Cash Flow Summary

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended July 2, 2016 decreased to $12.1 million, compared to $17.6 million in the six months ended July 4, 2015. The lower net cash generated during the first six months of 2016 was primarily due to higher inventories partially offset by higher net income as a result of lower interest expense and higher gross margin percentage.

Net cash provided by investing activities of $47.7 million for the six months ended July 2, 2016 was primarily due to proceeds from the divestiture of the Pittsburgh and Miltec operations, partially offset by capital expenditures, principally to support new contract awards at Structural Systems and Electronic Systems.

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended July 2, 2016 of $56.0 million was primarily due to voluntary principal prepayments on our new term loan of $60.0 million as a result of the proceeds received from divestiture of the Pittsburgh and Miltec operations during the current-year.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our off-balance sheet arrangements consist of operating leases and indemnities.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires estimation and judgment that affect the reported amounts of net revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. For a description of our critical accounting policies, please refer to “Critical Accounting Policies” in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in any of our critical accounting policies during the three and six months ended July 2, 2016.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See “Part I, Item 1. Ducommun Incorporated and Subsidiaries—Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Recent Accounting Pronouncements” for further information.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our main market risk exposure relates to changes in U.S. and U.K. interest rates on our outstanding long-term debt. At July 2, 2016, we had total borrowings of $190.0 million under our Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility that bear interest, at our option, at a rate equal to either (i) the Eurodollar Rate (defined as LIBOR) plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.75% per year or (ii) the Base Rate (defined as the highest of [a] Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, [b] Bank of America’s prime rate, and [c] the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00%) plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.50% to 1.75% per year, in each case based upon the consolidated total net adjusted leverage ratio. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in the interest rate would have an immaterial impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Table of Contents

The Company’s chief executive officer (“CEO”) and chief financial officer (“CFO”) have conducted an evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of July 2, 2016. The Company had previously reported a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to the design and effective monitoring controls over the accuracy and appropriate classification of reported labor hours associated with contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method using units of delivery. This material weakness was described in Item 9A in the Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. As a result of the material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, which was not remediated as of July 2, 2016, the CEO and CFO concluded the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of July 2, 2016.

Management’s Remediation Activities

We are committed to remediating the control deficiencies that constitute the material weakness described above by implementing changes to our internal control over financial reporting. Our Chief Financial Officer is responsible for implementing changes and improvements in the internal control over financial reporting and for remediating the control deficiencies that gave rise to the material weakness.

Action to be taken or in process include testing of our internal controls over the ongoing review of the related labor distribution used in the estimates of anticipated costs used in the forward loss reserve analysis that have been implemented.

While significant progress has been made to enhance our internal control over financial reporting relating to the material weakness, additional time will be required to assess and ensure the sustainability of these processes and procedures. We expect to complete the planned remedial actions during 2016, however, we cannot make any assurances that such actions will be completed during 2016. Until the remediation steps set forth above are fully implemented and concluded to be operating effectively, the material weakness described above will continue to exist.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except as otherwise discussed above under “Management’s Remediation Activities,” there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended July 2, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

See Note 13 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for a description of our legal proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

See Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 for a discussion of our risk factors. There have been no material changes in the six months ended July 2, 2016 to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
