GEDERA, Israel, August 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ – TAT Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: TATTFNews), reported today its results for the three – month and six – month periods ended June 30, 2009.

TAT Technologies Ltd. (TAT), directly and through its subsidiaries, provides a variety of services and products to the military and commercial aerospace and ground defense systems industries. Such products and services primarily include the design, development, manufacture, maintenance and repair of (i) a broad range of heat transfer components (such as heat exchangers, pre-coolers and oil/fuel hydraulic coolers) used in mechanical and electronic systems on-board commercial, military and business aircraft; (ii) environmental control and cooling systems on-board aircraft and for ground applications; and (iii) a broad range of electrical motion applications for airborne and ground systems.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Background

TAT operates under four operational segments: (i) Original Equipment Manufacturing or “OEM” of Heat Transfer products (ii) OEM of Electric Motion Systems (iii) Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul or ‘MRO” services; and (iv) parts services, each with the following characteristics.

TAT’s activities in the area of OEM of Heat Transfer products primarily relate to the (i) design, development, manufacture and sale of a broad range of heat transfer components (such as heat exchangers, pre-coolers and oil/fuel hydraulic coolers) used in mechanical and electronic systems on-board commercial, military and business aircraft; and (ii) manufacture and sale of environmental control and cooling systems and (iii) a variety of other electronic and mechanical aircraft accessories and systems such as pumps, valves, power systems and turbines.

TAT’s activities in the area of OEM of Electric Motion Systems primarily relate to the design, development, manufacture and sale of a broad range of electrical motor applications for airborne and ground systems. TAT activities in this segment commenced with the acquisition of Bental in August 2008 and accordingly, the results in this segment for fiscal year 2008 are not compared with the previous years.

TAT’s MRO services include the remanufacture, overhaul and repair of heat transfer equipment and other aircraft components, APUs, propellers and landing gear.

Revenues. Total revenues decreased to $21.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $23.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of 7.6%. This decrease reflects increased revenues in the OEM operations due to organic growth in the OEM of Heat Transfer products segment, as well as revenues in the OEM of Electric Motion Systems segment derived from the Company’s 70% controlled subsidiary, Bental, which did not exist during the second quarter of fiscal 2008; offset by decreased revenues in the MRO services segment and in the Parts services segment.

Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues after eliminating intercompany transactions was 82% in the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 79% for the three months ended June 30, 2008.

Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues in this segment increased to 96% in the three months ended June 30, 2009 from 84% for the three months ended June 30, 2008, primarily as a result of product mix with lower margin products sold during the three months ended June 30, 2009, increased production costs in 2009 as well as to additional cost related to Repair Center and Storefront agreements affected retroactively.

Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues in this segment decreased to 68% in the three months ended June 30, 2009, from 71% for the three months ended June 30, 2008, primarily resulting from the incline in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Israeli Shekel that resulted in decreased production expenses, as well as improved efficiency in the production processes during 2009 compared with 2008.



Cost of revenues for OEM of Electric Motion System.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the three months ended June 30, 2009, TAT received a $1.25 million loan from Bank Mizrahi (in addition to a $5 million loan already received during 2008) to finance the acquisition of Bental’s shares.

As of June 30, 2009 TAT had cash and cash equivalents and short-term deposits of $19.1, in addition to marketable securities of $21.8 million, as compared with cash and cash equivalents and short-term deposits of $17.2 million, in addition to marketable securities of $21.6 million, as of June 30, 2008.

Seasonality

TAT believes that the growth of its business over the last three years has masked a historical seasonal trend in the MRO services sector. Historically, TAT has seen many airlines decrease their maintenance requirements in the peak air travel summer months and increase its maintenance requirements in the winter months when air travel is not as great.

Subsequent Event

On July 3, 2009 the Company resolved its commercial dispute with one of its key suppliers relating to its MRO business, whereby the Company will continue to act as a Storefront and Authorized Repair Center for an extended period through May 31, 2014. The Company paid such supplier $3.6 million. The Company performed preliminary allocation of the amount paid on July 3, 2009 to different components based on their estimated fair value. The residual amount of $1,550, net of tax benefit of $590, is being recognized as an expense in the second quarter and is assigned to the settlement of the dispute with the supplier for the period June 2006 until June 2009.


TAT’s executive offices are located in the Re’em Industrial Park, Neta Boulevard, Bnei Ayish, Gedera 70750, Israel, and TAT’s telephone number is 972-8-862-8500.
