SPACEHAB, Incorporated , a leading provider
of commercial space services, today announced financial results for
its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2006 ended June 30, 2006.
Fourth Quarter Results
SPACEHAB posted a fourth quarter fiscal 2006 net income of
$48,000, or $0.00 per share, on revenue of $14.6 million compared with
a fourth quarter fiscal 2005 net income of $0.1 million, or $0.01 per
share, on revenue of $19.0 million.
“We were pleased to see the flawless liftoff of Space Shuttle
Discovery just days following the end of fiscal 2006 with the
Company’s Integrated Cargo Carrier nestled within the cargo bay,”
stated Michael E. Kearney, SPACEHAB President and Chief Executive
Officer. “During the quarter we continued to support NASA with the
upcoming STS-116 and STS-118 missions, both scheduled for launch in
our 2007 fiscal year, however, delays in the shuttle manifest and
unmanned vehicle launch schedules continued to impact revenue for the
fourth quarter as it did throughout the year.”
Year End Results
SPACEHAB’s net loss for fiscal 2006 was $12.4 million, or $0.97
per share, on revenue of $50.7 million compared to a net income of
$5.2 million, or $0.37 per share, on revenue of $59.4 million. Year
end results include a non-cash charge of $6.3 million as the Company
wrote down the book value of one of its two pressurized space shuttle
modules and changed the depreciable life of its remaining space
shuttle assets to align with NASA’s current launch manifest that
anticipates retiring the space shuttle fleet at the end of 2010.
Included in the prior year results was a recovery of $8.2 million from
NASA in partial indemnification for losses the Company sustained in
the Space Shuttle Columbia tragedy in February 2003.
Liquidity
SPACEHAB’s cash and short-term investments were approximately $6.3
million as of June 30, 2006. Current liabilities decreased to $17.9
million at June 30, 2006 compared to $20.4 million at June 30, 2005
due to reductions in accounts payable and accrued expense. As of year
end SPACEHAB carried a contract backlog of $57.0 million which
represents the expected value of contractually-committed work,
portions of which are subject to the space shuttle’s launch schedule
or future government funding decisions.
Update of Ongoing Operations
During the recently completed fiscal year 2006, SPACEHAB continued
to support manned and unmanned missions to space through its three
major business units, assisting both commercial and government
initiatives. SPACEHAB Flight Services provided a commercial deployable
cargo carrier on NASA’s second return-to-flight mission, STS-114, that
is now permanently attached to the International Space Station serving
as a spare parts platform. Work continued on the STS-121 and 116
missions with new work commencing on the STS-118 flight. Subsequent to
year end, the STS-121 mission, which utilized a returnable version of
the Company’s cargo carrier, launched and concluded successful space
station resupply activities.
The STS-116 and 118 missions are using the Company’s cargo pallets
– one set for permanent deployment and attachment to the space station
– but also utilize SPACEHAB’s patented module system which will
transport thousands of pounds of equipment and provisions, much of it
transferred to the space station for use by the astronaut crews that
live for extended periods in space.
Astrotech Space Operations provides support necessary for its
customers to successfully process their spaceflight hardware for
launch, including advanced planning; use of unique facilities; and
spacecraft checkout, fueling, encapsulation, transport, and remote
control through launch. Astrotech supported the processing of eight
spacecraft during fiscal 2007 with four of those launching in the
fourth quarter. The Astrotech team located in Florida was instrumental
in the successful liftoff of NASA’s GOES-N, an earth monitoring
satellite, while the California teams at Sea Launch and Vandenberg Air
Force Base assisted payload processing and launch activities of the
Galaxy 16 as well as NASA’s CloudSat and CALIPSO spacecraft,
respectively. This business unit also captured over $7.0 million in
new business during the fiscal year with an additional contract
subsequent to year end.
SPACEHAB Government Services continues its exceptional support to
NASA’s International Space Station program, primarily in the areas of
configuration and data management supporting the final acceptance of
space station hardware and software for NASA and the sixteen
international partners. The Company is actively pursuing an additional
NASA contract in a subcontractor role to support configuration
management initiatives.
