Mr. Igal Zamir, CEO and President of TAT Technologies stated that 2022 was a unique year for TAT and the aviation industry. Throughout the year, we suffered from the impact of COVID and the war in Ukraine on our supply chain, resulting in lack of substantial parts, material availability and costs increases. We worked closely with our customer to assist them with the ramp up while overcoming the challenges. We completed the transition of the heat exchange activity from Israel to the US and merged our two facilities in Israel into one new modern facility. In the second half of the year, we saw swift change and a large increase in orders both for the MRO and OEM. During the second half of the year, we secured several strategic contracts with some of the leading companies in the industry which led to an increase in the expected value of our long term agreements by $130 million. As a result, we saw an increase in MRO revenues and profitability and ended 2022 with expected total value of long-term commercial agreement and backlog of $400 million- almost double compared to 2021. We enter 2023 with very strong order backlog and expect to present improved results for the full year. During 2023 we will benefit from our new line of business that includes MRO for APU331-500 and APU131-9A/B as well as MRO for the Gulfstream Landing gear platforms of G4 and G5.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company also presents a Non-GAAP presentation of Net Income and 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.  Non-GAAP Net Income excludes changes, income or losses, as applicable, related to one or more of the following: (1) share-based compensation expenses and/or (2) certain tax impact and/or (3) acquisition related expenses and/or (4) share in results of equity investment of affiliated companies. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income before the Company's share in results and sale of equity investment of affiliated companies, share-based compensation, taxes on income, financial (expenses) income, net, depreciation and amortization, inventory impairment from exit and dismissal activity and customers relationship write off. Non-GAAP Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA, however, should not be considered as alternatives to net income and operating income for the period and may not be indicative of the historic operating results of the Company; nor they are meant to be predictive of potential future results.  Non-GAAP Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies. See reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Non-GAAP Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA in page 11.
