("Aeroflex") (NYS: ARX) , a leading global provider of high performance microelectronic components, and test and measurement equipment, today announced its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2013, which ended September 30, 2012.
For the first quarter of fiscal 2013:

"Compared to our expectations, I am pleased with the performance of both AMS and ATS this quarter," said Len Borow, Chief Executive Officer of Aeroflex. "Our AMS business has continued its consistent execution despite the challenging economic and political environment we are operating within. After our initial reorganization efforts this summer, our ATS business has begun to perform according to our expectation. We had a strong book-to-bill this quarter of over one-to-one led by ATS. We also generated sufficient cash that allowed us repay $25 million of debt this quarter. We look forward to continuing our recent success as we move throughout our fiscal year."
The following tables present selected financial information for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and on a basis other than GAAP ("Non-GAAP"). The 32% Non-GAAP effective tax rate in the fiscal 2013 period and 34% in the fiscal 2012 period result from Aeroflex's geographic mix of Non-GAAP pre-tax income. These rates were applied to Aeroflex's Non-GAAP pre-tax income for the three month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. A reconciliation between GAAP and Non-GAAP amounts is presented at the end of this press release.

Non-GAAP Presentation
This press release contains Non-GAAP financial measures that are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from Non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these Non-GAAP measures: (i) are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles; and (ii) have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Aeroflex's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. As such, these measures should only be used to evaluate Aeroflex's results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.
Aeroflex believes that the presentation of Non-GAAP financial measures, when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides useful supplemental information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations because they exclude certain non-cash charges or items that management does not believe are reflective of its ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of its business.
Aeroflex believes that these Non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate the comparison by management and investors of results between periods and among its peer companies. However, its peer companies may calculate similar Non-GAAP financial measures differently than Aeroflex, limiting the information's usefulness as comparative measures.
