"We begin the year with solid results, demonstrating the strength of the Engineered Products segment and the benefit this provides as we continue our transformation. Highlighting this performance is the end-market recovery we anticipated in our commercial aerospace and medical end markets. For the three-month period, net sales increased 23% and operating income more than doubled, when compared to the same three-month period in 2022. At the Engineered Products segment, net sales grew by 51% over the first quarter of 2022. Excluding the contribution from Aircraft Wheel and Brake, this segment was up approximately 29%. The results are reflective of the team's execution against its robust backlog and we continue to see strong order rates across this segment. With efforts focused on our highest growth opportunities, we are on the path to enhance earnings power and deliver improved financial performance." said Ian K. Walsh, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.

"Our cost control efforts remain on track as we execute on the Precision Product segment facility consolidation between the Orlando, FL and Middletown, CT sites. We continue to identify additional opportunities to reduce expense across the organization and enhance our profitability. We remain focused on finding incremental cash opportunities as part of our net working capital management and will steadily pay down debt through the remainder of the year. We are maintaining our full year outlook for 2023." said Walsh.

OUTLOOK DISCUSSION

Management reaffirms its guidance for 2023. Revenue and earnings will benefit from the addition of Aircraft Wheel and Brake to the portfolio. Organically, Adjusted EBITDA is expected to improve due to margin expansion from the Engineered Products segment.

• Net sales: $730.0 million to $750.0 million
• Net earnings: $4.0 million to $11.6 million
• Adjusted EBITDA: $95.0 million to $105.0 million
• Adjusted EBITDA margin: 13.0% to 14.0%
• Diluted EPS: $0.14 per share to $0.41 per share; adjusted $0.30 per share to $0.57 per share
• Cash from operating activities: $60.0 million to $70.0 million
• Free cash flow: $35.0 million to $45.0 million

For further information, the Company's supplemental presentation relating to the first quarter 2023 results and 2023 outlook will be posted to the Company's website, as detailed below.

KAMAN BUSINESS RESULTS DISCUSSION BY REPORTING SEGMENT

Kaman manages its portfolio through three segments: (1) Engineered Products; (2) Precision Products; and (3) Structures.

Engineered Products - Our Engineered Products segment serves the aerospace and defense, industrial and medical markets providing sophisticated, proprietary aircraft bearings and components; super precision, miniature ball bearings; proprietary spring energized seals, springs and contacts; and wheels, brakes and related hydraulic components for helicopters, fixed-wing and UAV aircraft.

Table 2. Engineered Products Results
Thousands of U.S. dollars		Three Months Ended
		March 31, 2023				December 31, 2022				April 1, 2022
Net sales		$	123,326			$	113,972			$	81,452
Operating income			19,356				17,168				11,042
Adjusted EBITDA			30,119				30,698				17,269
Adjusted EBITDA margin			24.4	%			26.9	%			21.2	%

Three months ended March 31, 2023 versus three months ended December 31, 2022 - Operating income increased $2.2 million, Adjusted EBITDA decreased $0.6 million and margin decreased 2.5 percentage points versus the fourth quarter of 2022. Lower EBITDA and margin compared to the prior period was driven by lower sales and gross margin on our commercial and defense bearings, partially offset by higher volume on our springs, seals and contacts used in medical and aerospace applications and our aftermarket parts and improved margins on our wheels and brakes.

Three months ended March 31, 2023 versus three months ended April 1, 2022 - Operating income increased $8.3 million, despite $4.8 million of intangible asset amortization associated with the acquisition of Aircraft Wheel and Brake. Adjusted EBITDA increased $12.9 million and margin increased 3.2 percentage points versus the first quarter of 2022. Results improved compared to the prior period driven by the contribution of sales and gross margin from our Aircraft Wheel and Brake acquisition and higher sales and gross margin on our commercial bearings and aftermarket parts.

Precision Products - Our Precision Products segment serves the aerospace and defense markets providing precision safe and arming solutions for missile and bomb systems for the U.S. and allied militaries; subcontract helicopter work; restoration, modification and support of our SH-2G Super Seasprite maritime helicopters; support of our heavy lift K-MAX® manned helicopter, and development of the KARGO UAV unmanned aerial system, a purpose built autonomous medium lift logistics vehicle.

Three months ended March 31, 2023 versus three months ended December 31, 2022 - Operating income and Adjusted EBITDA decreased $4.3 million and margin decreased 7.1 percentage points versus the fourth quarter of 2022. Results declined compared to the prior quarter, driven by lower sales and gross margin on K-MAX® spares and support, cost growth on the Fireburst program and higher R&D spend associated with the KARGO UAV unmanned aerial system.

Three months ended March 31, 2023 versus three months ended April 1, 2022 - Operating income decreased $1.7 million, Adjusted EBITDA decreased $2.0 million and margin decreased 2.8 percentage points versus the first quarter of 2022. Results declined compared to the prior period, driven by expected lower JPF sales, planned higher R&D spend associated with the KARGO UAV unmanned aerial system and cost growth on certain fuzing and measuring programs, partially offset by higher sales and margin on our K-MAX® spares and support.

Structures - Our Structures segment serves the aerospace and defense and medical end markets providing sophisticated complex metallic and composite aerostructures for commercial, military and general aviation fixed and rotary wing aircraft, and medical imaging solutions.

Three months ended March 31, 2023 versus three months ended December 31, 2022 - Operating loss decreased $1.4 million, Adjusted EBITDA increased $1.3 million, and margin increased 4.0 percentage points versus the fourth quarter of 2022. Results improved compared to the prior quarter, driven by higher sales and gross profit on certain composite programs, partially offset by changes in profit estimates for long term contracts.

Three months ended March 31, 2023 versus three months ended April 1, 2022 - Operating loss decreased $0.4 million, Adjusted EBITDA increased $0.3 million, and margin increased 0.7 percentage points versus the first quarter of 2022. Results improved compared to the prior quarter, driven by higher sales and gross profit on certain composite programs, partially offset by changes in profit estimates for long term contracts.

NON-GAAP MEASURES DISCLOSURE

Management believes that the Non-GAAP financial measures (i.e. financial measures that are not computed in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) identified by an asterisk (*) used in this release or in other disclosures provide important perspectives into the Company's ongoing business performance. The Company does not intend for the information to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures. Other companies may define the measures differently. We define the Non-GAAP measures used in this release and other disclosures as follows:

Adjusted EBITDA - Adjusted EBITDA for the consolidated company results is defined as net earnings before interest, taxes, other expense (income), net, depreciation and amortization and certain items that are not indicative of the operating performance of the Company for the periods presented. Adjusted EBITDA for the segments is defined as operating income before depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of Net sales. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin provide an additional perspective on the operating results of the organization and its earnings capacity and helps improve the comparability of our results between periods because they provide a view of our operations that excludes items that management believes are not reflective of operating performance, such as items traditionally removed from net earnings in the calculation of EBITDA as well as Other expense (income), net and certain items that are not indicative of the operating performance of the Company for the period presented. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not presented as an alternative measure of operating performance, as determined in accordance with GAAP. The following tables illustrate the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA:

Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share - Adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted earnings per share are defined as GAAP "Net earnings" and "Diluted earnings per share", less items that are not indicative of the operating performance of the business for the periods presented. These items are included in the reconciliation below. Management uses adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted earnings per share to evaluate performance period over period, to analyze the underlying trends in our business and to assess its performance relative to its competitors. We believe that this information is useful for investors and financial institutions seeking to analyze and compare companies on the basis of operating performance.

The following table illustrates the calculation of adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted earnings per share:

Free Cash Flow - Free cash flow is defined as GAAP "Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities" in a period less "Expenditures for property, plant & equipment" in the same period. Management believes free cash flow provides an important perspective on our ability to generate cash from our business operations and, as such, that it is an important financial measure for use in evaluating the Company's financial performance. Free cash flow should not be viewed as representing the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures such as dividends to shareholders or acquisitions. Management uses free cash flow internally to assess overall liquidity. The following table illustrates the calculation of free cash flow.
