The modern-day company evolved out of a hardware supply store started by Charles Ducommun during the California Gold Rush. Today, Ducommun Inc. designs, engineers and manufactures aerostructure and electromechanical components and subassemblies, and provides engineering, technical and program management services primarily for the aerospace industry. Over the years Ducommun has made numerous acquisitions. The most recent acquisition was of LaBarge in June 2011. Prior to that Ducommun acquired DynaBil Industries in 2008, CMP in September 2006, WiseWave in May 2006, Miltec in January 2006, and other companies in the past. Ducommun Inc. is divided into 2 business segments for accounting purposes but is made up of 3 business units. Ducommun Aerostructures Inc. (DAS) engineers and manufactures aerospace structural components and subassemblies. The second business segment of Ducommun Inc. is Ducommun LaBarge Technologies (DLT). This company was formed in June 2011 after the combination of Ducommun Technologies and LaBarge. The third business unit is Ducommun Miltec. Ducommun Aerostructures (DAS) is a manufacturing services company that specializes in a variety of composite and metal bond structures and assemblies, including aircraft wing spoilers, large fuselage skins, helicopter blades, flight control surfaces and engine components, to customers all over the world. DAS also designs, engineers and manufactures the contoured aluminum, titanium and Inconel® aerostructure components for the aerospace industry. DAS serves both commercial and military aerospace markets, including commercial airliners, regional and business jet aircraft, military aircraft, commercial and military helicopters, satellites and space launch vehicles. DAS has operation centers in California, Kansas, New York and Mexico. Ducommun LaBarge Technologies (DLT) provides electronics manufacturing services such as the design and manufacture of electromechanical illuminated push button switches for the aerospace industry, microwave switches and components for the aerospace and wireless communications industries, and engineering, technical and program management services principally for the aerospace industry. Ducommun LaBarge Technologies serves the following industries: defense, aerospace, industrial, oil-and-gas, mining and medical. DLT has operation centers in eight different states and in Thailand. Through its Miltec Division, Ducommun Inc. provides engineering services engaged in missile and aerospace system design, development, integration, and test. The Miltec business unit serves NASA and other commercial ventures. The primary base for Ducommun Miltec’s services is the US Army Space and Missile Defense Command (SMDC) and the Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM). Other major customers include the Missile and Space Intelligence Center (MSIC), the US Navy, and NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC). The Miltec business unit has operations in Alabama, Colorado, and Mississippi. The Ducommun business units serve both military and commercial customers. Sales related to military and space programs made up approximately 60% of sales in 2010. These military components go into many bombers, helicopters and support aircraft, and sea-based applications used by the military. The engineering, technical and program management services are employed mainly UOIG 2 University of Oregon Investment Group 11/22/11 by United States defense, space and homeland security programs. The commercial business represented approximately 40% of overall sales in 2010. Ducommun’s major customers are Boeing (26% of total sales in 2010), Raytheon (12% of total sales in 2010), United Technologies (8% of total sales in 2010) and the United States Government (4% of total sales in 2010). Strategic Positioning 2011 2008 2006 2003 2001 1999 1998 1996 1994 ACQUISITION HISTORY Acquires LaBarge, Inc. for $325.3 million (plus almost 21.5 million in SG&A related to acquisition Acquired DynaBil for $46 million; provides titanium and aluminum structural components Miltec acquired for $46.8 million; Wisewave acquired for $6.83 million; acquired CMP for $13.8 million Acquired the assets of DBP Microwave for $2.32 million in casha nd $400k in note Acquired certain assets at the Fort Defiance AZ operations of Packard Hughes Interconnect Wiring systems; in June 2011 DCO acquired all the Acquired capital stock of Parsons Precision Products, Inc; Apr 99 acquired capital stock of Sheet Metal Specialties Company Acquired capital stock of American Electronics, Inc for $8.165 million in cash and $1.9 million in liabilities sold the stock of 3dbm Acquired all assets of Mechtronics of Arizona for $8.75 million (8 in cash and note for $750k); acquired 3dbm, Inc. for 4.78 million in cash and $400k note Acquired capital stock of Brice Mfg Company for $763k in cash and $10.365 million in notes a subsidiary Jay-El products acquire Dynatech Microwave Technology for $7.5 million in cash Historically the DAS segment of Ducommun, which focuses on physical structures that are incorporated in airplanes and helicopters, has accounted for roughly 60% of revenues. Now, however, with the formation of Ducommun LaBarge technologies, percentage of revenue has changed to 60% for the technology side of the business which includes electronics manufacturing and engineering, technical, and program management services for the aerospace industry. Management reports after the first three months of business with LaBarge incorporated in the corporation the financial results are solid making up 60% of total sales. This acquisition is part of Ducommun’s strategic expansion plans in more revenue friendly markets. Historically the DCO side of the business has focused on both military and commercial aircraft, but with military budgets having been reduced and now delayed in Congress the DCO business is planning on an upswing in the commercial market demand through their business with customers such as Boeing and Airbus. The merger with LaBarge looks to nearly double total revenues in the coming years. Ducommun has also expanded its engineering and technology services into other markets including oil and gas exploration, medical markets, and is currently pursuing seven new start up programs in the commercial, regional, and military markets. With the acquisition of LaBarge, Ducommun has made its largest acquisition ever, spending over 325 million for it. Ducommun will now focus on integrating the business segments and managing its cash. Acquisitions have formed an integral part of Ducommun’s business strategy for many years and management states that acquisitions will continue to form a fundamental part of their strategy. These acquisitions have at times increased revenue, such as LaBarge is doing currently, and at other times such acquisitions have not been profitable and Ducommun has divested itself of those acquired businesses. Business Growth Strategies Ducommun’s growth strategy is based on acquisitions. Since 1994 Ducommun has made 14 acquisitions. With its latest acquisition—LaBarge, Ducommun forecasts improved margins due to synergies resulting from this merger. Sales in Q3 of 2011 rose 10% over Q3 2010, however margins did not track revenue due to initial start up costs. Ducommun also enjoys a record backlog of orders, 612 million to be exact, more than the 582 million of backlog orders one year ago. Management feels that due to the acquisition, Ducommun is on track to manage solid EBITDA numbers in Q4 2011. As Ducommun looks to the future they see an upswing in the commercial market demand. This demand comes from forecasted growth at Boeing and Airbus and management feels that there should be growth over the next few years in this business segment. The growth in military spending has been slowing as orders for the F15 and F18 airplanes have slowed. UOIG 3 University of Oregon Investment Group 11/22/11 There are both positive and negative results from the LaBarge acquisition. Sales have increased 86% to $185 million, this is over 83$ million in sales than Q3 2010. Margins have increased from 10.2% in Q3 2010 to 11.8% in Q3 2011. Management reports higher EBITDA levels due to the acquisition. However, significant start up and integration costs have affected Ducommun in its merger with LaBarge. Ducommun borrowed $390 million to acquire LaBarge and this has increased interest expense by $7.8 million. The current plan is to pay back $30 million each year. Moreover, management states that start up costs have reduced margins and put pressure on revenue. They feel that this will continue into Q4 2011 and Q1 2012. Management feels that $4.2 million is a nonrecurring merger related expense. The acquisition has also decimated Ducommun’s cash and short-term investments. Despite these setbacks in cash and profit margins Ducommun management paints a positive picture of future revenues. Management states that their portfolio has diversified and their commercial aircraft business has been up. They expect higher builds of 737s and 787s from Boeing. The impact of these has not come through yet, they say. Ducommun also states that their military technology products are strong and there is good booking in commercial products and they feel the oil exploration should grow. Nevertheless, the services provided to the medical and industrial markets are admittedly soft. The natural resource business is strong, according to management. There are more bookings for Schlumberge and management states that Ducommun’s offerings are more diverse and the oil rig count in North America is rising; as a result next year looks good in regard to this business segment. Ducommun is experiencing a low rate of production in some of its businesses but feels that it will pick up in the last half of 2012. Ducommun’s revenue base is currently 50% commercial, 30% regional jet, 10% general aviation and 10% military. Another concern is that Ducommun is undertaking more start up programs than in the past. While one or two is common per year, currently there are five. This is creating inefficiencies and higher costs. Also, after stripping away costs from the merger it appears that the technology business is down 17%. The DCO side of the business has suffered a $4 million decline in services. Military delays with the F-15 orders have hurt as well and it is difficult to forecast revenue from government-generated orders due to unknowns. The fourth quarter is usually a good cash flow quarter and Ducommun is looking forward to an uptick in Boeing orders as Ducommun has a robust build rate for 737s. Ducommun reports $4-5 million in synergy gains in 2010. Some of the synergy gains are readily identifiable but other synergies have not yet materialized because of operations and supply sites being in different locations. Ducommun feels that it will take another 12 to 15 months to realize these synergies. Ducommun is confident that they will realize those synergies and the resulting savings in 2013 and 2014. Ducommun lost $8 million of sales from American Superconductor but management says the portfolio has done well to recover from that due to strong bookings in oil exploration, increases from $350 million to $320 million in military and space bookings which will provide work in Q4 2011 and Q1 2012. Management also feels the American Superconductor business will come back. In regards to the merger, management feels there have been no major surprises and they are happy with the merger. They believe that there will be positive results with DLT. As cultures are combined, management feels that another $10 million can be squeezed out from operations and that cash flows from operations UOIG 4 University of Oregon Investment Group 11/22/11 can continue. Cap ex spending will be limited to $15-20 million, however acquisitions continue to be an integral part of the strategy and they will not restrict capital expenditures at the expense of growing the business. Industry The aerospace industry exists to provide aircraft for military uses, commercial purposes, and space exploration. The industry is made up of a few large manufacturers like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, United Technologies, and Raytheon. These aircraft manufacturers outsource about 90% of all parts and components to smaller suppliers like Ducommun. Therefore, their business and profitability is dependent on the overall aerospace industry. Aircraft orders have increased since 2006 and are projected to increase through 2016 as the major airlines replace older aircraft with new technology that provides various benefits to them. These new aircraft are more fuel efficient and technologically superior. Failure to acquire these new airplanes can be detrimental to operations. As a result, manufacturers will continue to receive strong numbers of orders. The growth of the airline industry in China and India are also drivers of present and future business for aircraft manufacturers. Boeing estimates that Chinese airlines could be running more than 3,200 large passenger airplanes by 2025 up from roughly 600 in 2006. Indian airlines are also expected to purchase 280 new airplanes worth an estimate $15 billion over the next decade. Revenue is also picking up speed in the aerospace industry. It is expected to reach 162.4 billion between 2011 and 2016, which is an annualized increase in revenue of 2.5%. Profitability is also expected to increase over the next five years to 2016 partly as a result of new airplane models such as the 787 Dreamliner from Boeing. The regional aircraft market is also growing with new designs and new models and expects continued profitability. Profitability in the military sector, however, will decrease slightly as program collaboration between allied nations splits the risk of new developments. This will mean lower margins for companies who manufacture such products. Despite the fact that the overall aerospace industry is expecting growth the aircraft, engine, and parts manufacturing industry is declining. The indicators of the declining phase of the economic lifecycle include contracting value added, falling participation, and increasing levels of import competition. As well, technological developments have also slowed, leading to diminishing returns on investment and weak growth in capital expenditure over the last 5 years. Despite the new products entering the market, per capita consumption of aircraft and parts is expected to remain steady. The new airplanes that are being produced are mostly variations of existing airplanes that were introduced to reduce operating costs. Product development has been slow and limited which is also characteristic of a declining industry. In the aircraft, engine, and parts manufacturing industry the largest four participants hold over 40% of the market as of 2011; Ducummon, being a small manufacturer makes up a very small percentage of the other companies listed as industry participants. The profit margin in the industry is relatively moderate. Earnings before interest and taxes account for 4.6% of revenue industry-wide. Aircraft, engine, and parts manufacturing firms profit from the commercial segment based on the volume UOIG 5 University of Oregon Investment Group 11/22/11 transacted whereas defense contracts are typically awarded with low margins. Net profit has remained relatively consistent over the last 5 years due to little fluctuation in aircraft orders. The competition in this industry is considered medium and varies from manufacturers of the same products and manufacturers of different products and foreign manufacturers. The industry is an oligopoly in which only a few large firms exist and buyers are susceptible to the manufacturers’ price discretion. In the business and regional market competition is fierce because prices are cheaper and there are more players in the marketplace. Barriers to this industry are high due to high startup costs from land acquisitions and investments in technology, which makes it difficult for new entrants to the industry. The industry also requires skilled labor and staff who are familiar with the new technology. Government regulations also act as a barrier to entry. Management and Employee Relations Joseph C.

LMI Aerospace LMI Aerospace provides structural components assemblies and kits to the aerospace defense and technology industries. LMI manufactures, machines, finishes, and integrates aluminum and alloy components and sheet metal products for primarily large commercial corporate and military aircraft. LMI manufactures more than 30,000 products that are integrated into the large aircraft manufacturers’ production processes. LMI provides similar products to Ducommun. Such products are destined for aircraft and helicopter manufacturing. LMI also provides services to the production, assembly, and distribution of aerospace components such as engineering services, fabrication, assembly, distribution and others. This business model is very similar to the Ducommon business model. LMI and Ducommun are similarly sized firms. LMI has similar risk as Ducommun as its market cap is close to that of Ducommun (214 million versus 138 million). LMI is a small player, like Ducommon, in the aerospace supply industry. Despite a larger market cap, LMI’s total revenue is about half that of Ducommun’s at 273 million. Ducommun’s total revenue is 494.5 million. LMI’s beta is less than Ducommun’s beta. LMI had a significant backlog of orders, as of December 2010. This is common in the aircraft parts manufacturing industry of 221.5 million, similar to that of Ducommun with 325 million in backlog orders. LMI’s debt to equity ration is virtually zero as it holds no long-term debt whereas Ducommun’s debt to equity ration is 2.98. The companies are most similar in the fact that they operate in the same space, have very similar products, and their size and total revenue are within reason. The next comparable company is GenCorp, Inc. GenCorp produces very similar products for the aerospace and defense industry. GenCorp also has a real estate component however it composes a very small overall percentage of the business UOIG 8 University of Oregon Investment Group 11/22/11 (specifically between .8%-3% of total revenue over the past 7 years). GenCorp also is a similarly sized company, giving it similar risk to Ducommun and LMI Industries. Its market cap is 283.52 million. Its beta is higher than LMI, closer to the Ducommun beta of 1.83. Total revenue for the most recent quarter end at August 31, 2011 is 892.2 million. This is roughly 50% more than Ducommun’s total revenue. Its operating cash flow is 70.6 million to Ducommun’s 290 million. The third comparable company is Spirit Aerosystems Holdings, Inc. Spirit is also a supplier of commercial airplane assemblies and components, designing products for aerospace design, build, support, and also repair needs. Spirit produces fuselages, under-wing components, composites, wings, spares/repairs. Spirit Aerosystems is a significantly larger firm in the aerospace industry and has therefore been weighted accordingly at 20% as opposed to 40% for LMI and GenCorp. Its total market cap is $2.73 billion, much larger than that of Ducommun. It has a beta of 1.3; total debt to equity is .053 and its operating cash flow is $188.3 million. Discounted Cash Flow Analysis The calculations for the discounted cash flow analysis presented a significant challenge due to the recent acquisition of LaBarge. The first quarterly revenue numbers were reported in the 10Q on November 7, 2011. This quarterly report represents the first quarter of numbers with Ducommun and Labarge acting as one company. As a result of this merger, Ducommun’s sales on the technology side of the business, now known as DLT (Ducommun Labarge Technologies) have nearly doubled. This has presented a challenge in making projections for the future. Virtually, a separate DCF analysis had to be prepared for each company to gain an understanding of what each company brings to the financial picture, where that will take the projections, and how this will all coalesce under Ducommun’s management and business strategy. 35 Cash & ST Investments 30 25 Millions 20 15 10 5 0 Beginning with revenue, Ducommun’s total revenue at the end of 2010 was $408.4 million and Labarge’s total revenue in 2010 was $289.3 million. The projections for gross revenue were then calculated by each Ducommun business segment after the LaBarge acquisition. For the DLT segment, the past 6 years of revenue figures were utilized and to them the past 6 years (which is the maximum useable period in which LaBarge had positive revenue) and added the figures together. Then, to account for ineffiencies and attrition of some customers, each figure was multiplied by 80%. Thereafter, a scatter plot was graphed with this data set. A straight-line regression yielded a slope line used to project future growth. This growth was then compared to the Ducommun Aerostructures side of the business. Again, revenues over the last 20 years of DCO Aerostructures were graphed in a scatter plot and the resulting regression line was then used to project DCO Aerostructure revenues through 2020. These figures were then added together, combining DLT and DCO numbers to project revenue figures throught 2020 for the combined companies. After that, these numbers were modified to reflect a stabilized and slightly declining growth rate after 2016 when it is likely that revenue in the industry will contract. UOIG 9 University of Oregon Investment Group Projections for categories other categories of assets and liabilities were calculated in a similar fashion. The percentage of each category to revenue of its respective company was calculated and then all of those percentages of segment revenue were added together and divided by the total number of years for both LaBarge and Ducommun. After summing these figures for both LaBarge and Ducommun, the percentages were weight averaged based on the percentage of revenue that both Ducommun and LaBarge contribute to the overall company. LaBarge represens 37.6% of and 72.4% of the combination of the new Ducommun with the LaBarge acquisition. 25,000.00 Capital Expenditures 22,500.00 20,000.00 Beta was calculated using both the regression method and the Hamada method. The regression method was calculated as a 5-year weekly and monthly beta, based on the S&P 500 closing prices; a 3-year weekly and monthly beta was also calculate; moreover, a 1-year weekly beta was calculated versus S&P closing prices. The fact that Ducommun, as of July 1, 2011, is a 66% larger company the beta is challenging to compute based on historical prices. As a result, the Hamada beta was also calculated in order to factor in the massive debt that Ducommun has assumed. Due to Ducommun’s heavily leveraged position, its debt to equity is 2.98. This causes the Hamada beta to shoot up to 3.164. Inherent in this calculation is the risk factor that exists with Ducommun if it were to fail to fulfill its massive $390 million loan obligation. The Hamada beta was then tempered slightly, from 3.164 down to 2.5, given that the regressed beta lies in the 1.27 to 1.56 range. Arbitrary upper line Arbitrary lower line TOP LINE PROJECTIONS 17,500.00 BOTTOM LINE PROJECTIONS Linear (Arbitrary upper line) 15,000.00 11/22/11 Linear (Arbitrary lower line) 12,500.00 y = 480.77x -952173 10,000.00 7,500.00 5,000.00 y = 516.67x -1E+06 2,500.00 0.00 1985 1990 1995 2000 2005 2010 2015 2020 2025 The revenue model was calculated based on a historic average of growth for both LaBarge and Ducommun. Despite the fact that neither LaBarge nor Ducommun have had consistent year over year growth in the past but rather varied rates of growth, an average of 20 years of Ducommun growth figures and 6 years of LaBarge growth figures and weighted according to the percent of revenue that each company accounts for is what has led to the revenue projections for Ducommun in the next few years, tapering off after 2016 and receding to a conservative estimate as the terminal year approaches. These projections are difficult to make given Ducommun’s history of acquisitons and vocalized future intent to continue to employ acquisitions as a growth strategy. In fact, management’s goal, as posted on its web page is to reach $1 billion in revenue. Management states in the most recent conference call that they plan to limit cap ex to $15-20 million per year but they will not restrict cap ex at the expense of growing the business. Given Ducommun’s history of acquisitions every one to two to three years it is likely that they will continue to make acquisitions that will cause their cash flows to vary greatly. Management estimates that they will be in the 29-31% tax bracket. UOIG 10 University of Oregon Investment Group 11/22/11 Recommendation As a result of the foregoing it is my recommendation that our holdings of Ducommun Inc. should be sold for the main reason that Ducommun is in an extremely risky position having taken on such a large quantity of debt. If it fails to meet these debt payments it could quickly be in bankruptcy and equity holders would stand to receive very little, if anything. Implied Price Calculation Weighting Discounted Cash Flows Analysis Implied Price $ 8.25 50% Comparables Analysis Implied Price $ 6.52 50% Current Price $ 13.13 Implied Price $ Overvalued 7.39 (43.75%) Secondly, despite the fact that the outlook is positive for the overall aircraft manufacturing industry, the aircraft, engine, and parts manufacturing is in decline. Its profits are not predicted to increase significantly. Therefore, even if Ducommun is able to meet its debt obligations it is not likely that its market value will increase significantly. Moreover, Ducommun has shown a history of making money, building up its cash reserves and then spending the majority of that cash on acquisitions. These acquisitions are not always profitable. As a result, the realistic growth for Ducommun, because of its acquisition strategy does not make it worth the risk. Again, it is my recommendation that Ducommun be sold.
