Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ducommun Incorporated and its subsidiaries (“Ducommun,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), after eliminating intercompany balances and transactions. The December 31, 2013 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not contain all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Our significant accounting policies were described in Part IV, Item 15(a)(1), “Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. We followed the same accounting policies for interim reporting. The financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of recurring accruals, have been made that are necessary to fairly state our condensed consolidated financial position, statements of income, comprehensive income and cash flows in accordance with GAAP for the periods covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2014.
Our fiscal quarters end on the Saturday closest to the end of March, June and September for the first three fiscal quarters of each year, and ends on December 31 for our fourth fiscal quarter.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current year’s presentation.
Use of Estimates
Certain amounts and disclosures included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements required management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Description of Business
We are a leading global provider of engineering and manufacturing services for high-performance products and high-cost-of failure applications used primarily in the aerospace, defense, industrial, natural resources, medical and other industries. Our subsidiaries are organized into two strategic businesses: Ducommun AeroStructures (“DAS”) and Ducommun LaBarge Technologies (“DLT”), each of which is a reportable operating segment. DAS designs, engineers and manufactures large, complex contoured aerospace structural components and assemblies and supplies composite and metal bonded structures and assemblies. DAS products are used on commercial aircraft, military fixed-wing aircraft and military and commercial rotary-wing aircraft. DLT designs, engineers and manufactures high-reliability products used in worldwide technology-driven markets including aerospace and defense, natural resources, industrial and medical and other end-use markets. DLT’s product offerings range from prototype development to complex assemblies. All reportable operating segments follow the same accounting principles.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding in each period. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders plus income associated with dilutive securities by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, plus any potential dilutive shares that could be issued if exercised or converted into common stock in each period.
The net earnings, weighted-average number of common shares outstanding used to compute earnings per share were as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Our cash accounts are not reduced for checks written until the checks are presented for payment and paid by our bank. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less. These assets are valued at cost, which approximates fair value, which we classify as Level 1. See Fair Value below.
Provision for Estimated Losses on Contracts
Provisions for estimated losses on contracts are recorded during the period in which it is determined that total anticipated contract costs will exceed total anticipated contract revenues. The provisions for estimated losses on contracts require management to make certain estimates and assumptions, including those with respect to the future revenue under a contract and the future cost to complete the contract. Management's estimate of the future cost to complete a contract may include assumptions as to improvements in manufacturing efficiency, reductions in operating and material costs, and our ability to resolve claims and assertions with our customers. If any of these or other assumptions and estimates do not materialize in the future, we may be required to record additional provisions for estimated losses on contracts.
Inventory Valuation
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Market value for raw materials is based on replacement costs, and is based on net realizable value for other inventory classifications. Inventoried costs include raw materials, outside processing, direct labor and allocated overhead, adjusted for any abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) incurred. Costs under long-term contracts are accumulated into, and removed from, inventory on the same basis as other contracts. We assess the inventory carrying value and reduce it, if necessary, to its net realizable value based on customer orders on hand, and internal demand forecasts using management’s best estimates given information currently available. We maintain an allowance for potentially excess and obsolete inventories and inventories that are carried at costs that are higher than their estimated net realizable values.
Out of Period Adjustments
During the third quarter of 2013, we determined that approximately $1.1 million of inventory had not been valued correctly at our DLT operating segment for periods originating in 2010 through the second quarter of 2013. The errors were attributed to the following quarters; $0.3 million in Q2 2010, $0.5 million in Q2 2011, $0.1 million in Q4 2012, $0.1 million in Q1 2013 and $0.1 million in Q2 2013. We assessed the materiality of these errors and concluded they were immaterial to currently reported annual amounts and previously reported annual and interim amounts. We corrected the errors in the third quarter of 2013 and recorded a $1.1 million charge for inventory reserves for the DLT operating segment and did not restate our consolidated financial statements for the prior annual or interim periods.
Production Cost of Contracts
Production cost of contracts includes non-recurring production costs, such as design and engineering costs, and tooling and other special-purpose machinery necessary to build parts as specified in a contract. Production costs of contracts are recorded to cost of goods sold using the units of delivery method. We review long-lived assets within production costs of contracts for impairment on an annual basis (in the fourth quarter for us) or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of our long-lived assets may not be recoverable. An impairment charge is recognized when the carrying value of an asset exceeds the projected undiscounted future cash flows expected from its use and disposal.
Fair Value
Assets and liabilities that are measured, recorded or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis are categorized using the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value. Level 1, the highest level, refers to the values determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 2 refers to fair values estimated using significant observable inputs. Level 3, the lowest level, includes fair values estimated using significant unobservable inputs.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
Accumulated other comprehensive loss, as reflected in the consolidated balance sheets under the equity section, was comprised of cumulative pension and retirement liability adjustments, net of tax.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
New Accounting Standards Adopted in 2014
In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740)” (“ASU 2013-11”), which required the netting of unrecognized tax benefits against a deferred tax asset for a loss or other carryforward that would apply in settlement of the uncertain tax positions. This guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013, which is our fiscal year 2014, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard at the beginning of our fiscal year 2014 reduced deferred tax assets by approximately $0.6 million as of June 28,2014.
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-04, “Liabilities (Topic 405)” (“ASU 2013-04”), which provided guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in GAAP. The new guidance was effective for us beginning January 1, 2014. Early adoption was permitted. The adoption of this standard at the beginning of our fiscal year 2014 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period” (“ASU 2014-12”), which requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. Thus, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The new guidance is effective for us beginning January 1, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. We currently do not anticipate the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”), which outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. It requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of the contract(s) which include (i) identifying the contract(s) with the customer, (ii) identifying the separate performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determining the transaction price, (iv) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (v) recognizing revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Thus, it depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration an entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Companies have the option of applying the provisions of ASU 2014-09 either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially
applying this guidance recognized at the date of initial application. Early adoption is not permitted. The new guidance is effective for us beginning January 1, 2017. We are currently evaluating the method and impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

| | $ | 332,677 |
|
Weighted-average interest rate | | 7.90 | % | | 7.76 | % |
We made a voluntary principal prepayment on our senior secured term loan of approximately $7.5 million each quarter for an aggregate total of approximately $15.0 million in both the six months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013.
As of June 28, 2014, we had approximately $58.4 million of unused borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility, after deducting approximately $1.6 million for standby letters of credit.
As of June 28, 2014, we were in compliance with all covenants required by our amended credit agreement. Also as of June 28, 2014, there were no amounts outstanding that would have triggered the leverage covenant under the Amended Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the credit agreement, if, during a given fiscal quarter, (i) the sum of (a) any amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility plus (b) the amount drawn under any letters of credit exceeds $1.0 million or (ii) the aggregate amount of outstanding letters of credit exceeds $5.0 million, the revolving credit facility will be subject to a maximum total leverage ratio.
The carrying amount of our long-term debt approximated fair value, except for the senior unsecured notes for which the fair value was approximately $222.0 million. Fair value was estimated using Level 2 inputs, based on the terms of the related debt, recent transactions and estimates using interest rates currently available to us for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.
Note 6. Shareholders’ Equity
We are authorized to issue five million shares of preferred stock. At June 28, 2014 and December 31, 2013, no preferred shares were issued or outstanding.

Note 8. Indemnifications
We have made guarantees and indemnities under which we may be required to make payments to a guaranteed or indemnified party, in relation to certain transactions, including revenue transactions in the ordinary course of business. In connection with certain facility leases, we have indemnified our lessors for certain claims arising from the facility or the lease. We indemnify our directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware.
However, we have a directors and officers insurance policy that may reduce our exposure in certain circumstances and may enable us to recover a portion of future amounts that may be payable, if any. The duration of the guarantees and indemnities varies and, in many cases is indefinite but subject to statute of limitations. The majority of guarantees and indemnities do not provide any limitations of the maximum potential future payments we could be obligated to make. Historically, payments related to these guarantees and indemnities have been immaterial. We estimate the fair value of our indemnification obligations as insignificant based on this history and insurance coverage and have, therefore, not recorded any liability for these guarantees and indemnities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Note 9. Income Taxes
We recorded income tax expense of approximately $3.1 million (effective tax rate of 32.5%) in the three months ended June 28, 2014 compared to approximately $2.1 million (effective tax rate of 27.6%) in the three months ended June 29, 2013.
The effective tax rate for for the three months ended June 28, 2014 did not include any benefit from federal research and development (“R&D”) tax credits as it expired on December 31, 2013. The three months ended June 29, 2013 included federal research and development tax credits benefit of approximately $0.5 million.
We recorded income tax expense of approximately $5.3 million (effective tax rate of 32.5%) in the six months ended June 28, 2014 compared to approximately $0.9 million (effective tax rate of 8.6%) in the six months ended June 29, 2013.
The effective tax rate for for the six months ended June 28, 2014 did not include any benefit from federal R&D tax credits as it expired on December 31, 2013. The six months ended June 29, 2013 included federal research and development tax credits benefit of approximately $3.0 million. This amount included approximately $2.0 million of 2012 federal research and development tax credits benefit recognized in the six months ended June 29, 2013 as a result of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (the “Act”), passed in January 2013. The Act included an extension of the federal research and development tax credit for amounts paid or incurred after December 31, 2011 and before January 1, 2014.
Our unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $2.7 million and $2.6 million at June 28, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Most of these amounts, if recognized, would affect the annual income tax rate. It is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits could be reduced by approximately $0.2 million in the next twelve months.
Note 10. Contingencies
Ducommun is a defendant in a lawsuit entitled United States of America ex rel Taylor Smith, Jeannine Prewitt and James Ailes v. The Boeing Company and Ducommun Inc., filed in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas (the “District Court”). The lawsuit is a qui tam action brought by three former The Boeing Company (“Boeing”) employees (“Relators”) against Boeing and Ducommun on behalf of the United States of America for violations of the United States False Claims Act. The lawsuit alleges that Ducommun sold unapproved parts to Boeing which were installed by Boeing in aircraft ultimately sold to the United States Government and that Boeing and Ducommun submitted or caused to be submitted false claims for payment relating to 21 aircraft sold by Boeing to the United States Government. The lawsuit seeks damages in an amount equal to three times the amount of damages the United States Government sustained because of the defendants’ actions, plus a civil penalty of $10 thousand for each false claim made on or before September 28, 1999, and $11 thousand for each false claim made on or after September 28, 1999, together with attorneys’ fees and costs. The Relators claim that the United States Government sustained damages of $1.6 billion (the contract purchase price of 21 aircraft) or, alternatively, $851 million (the alleged diminished value and increased maintenance cost of the 21 aircraft). After investigating the allegations, the United States Government has declined to intervene in the lawsuit. Ducommun and Boeing have filed motions for summary judgment to dismiss the lawsuit. The motions for summary judgment are pending before the District Court. Ducommun intends to defend itself vigorously against the lawsuit. Ducommun, at this time, is unable to estimate what, if any, liability it may have in connection with the lawsuit.
DAS has been directed by California environmental agencies to investigate and take corrective action for groundwater contamination at its facilities located in El Mirage and Monrovia, California. Based on currently available information, Ducommun has established a reserve for its estimated liability for such investigation and corrective action of approximately $1.5 million at June 28, 2014, which is reflected in other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
DAS also faces liability as a potentially responsible party for hazardous waste disposed at landfills located in Casmalia and West Covina, California. DAS and other companies and government entities have entered into consent decrees with respect to these landfills with the United States Environmental Protection Agency and/or California environmental agencies under which certain investigation, remediation and maintenance activities are being performed. Based on currently available information, Ducommun preliminarily estimates that the range of its future liabilities in connection with the landfill located in West Covina, California is between approximately $0.4 million and $3.1 million. Ducommun has established a reserve for its estimated liability, in connection with the West Covina landfill of approximately $0.4 million at June 28, 2014, which is reflected in other long-term liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet. Ducommun’s ultimate liability in connection with these matters will depend upon a number of factors, including changes in existing laws and regulations, the design and cost of construction, operation and maintenance activities, and the allocation of liability among potentially responsible parties.
In the normal course of business, Ducommun and its subsidiaries are defendants in certain other litigation, claims and inquiries, including matters relating to environmental laws. In addition, Ducommun makes various commitments and incurs contingent liabilities. While it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these matters, Ducommun does not presently expect that any sum it may be required to pay in connection with these matters would have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Ducommun Incorporated (“Ducommun,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is a leading global provider of engineering and manufacturing services for high-performance products and high-cost-of failure applications used primarily in the aerospace, defense, industrial, natural resources, medical and other industries. Ducommun differentiates itself as a full-service solution-based provider, offering a wide range of value-added products and services in our primary businesses of electronics, structures and integrated solutions. We operate through two primary business units: Ducommun LaBarge Technologies (“DLT”) and Ducommun AeroStructures (“DAS”).
Second quarter 2014 highlights were as follows:
| |
• | Second quarter revenue was $186.5 million |
| |
• | We reported net income of $6.5 million, or $0.59 per diluted share |
| |
• | EBITDA for the quarter was $24.3 million |
| |
• | We made a voluntary principal prepayment of $7.5 million on our term loan during the quarter |
| |
• | Firm backlog as of June 28, 2014 was approximately $623.1 million |
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) was approximately $24.3 million and $22.2 million for the three months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, respectively. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for certain information regarding EBITDA, including reconciliation of EBITDA to net income.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
When viewed with our financial results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and accompanying reconciliations, we believe EBITDA provides additional useful information to clarify and enhance the understanding of the factors and trends affecting our past performance and future prospects. We define these measures, explain how they are calculated and provide reconciliations of these measures to the most comparable GAAP measure in the tables below. EBITDA and the related financial ratios, as presented in this Form 10-Q, are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. They are not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities as measures of our liquidity. The presentation of these measures should not be interpreted to mean that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.
We use EBITDA as a non-GAAP operating performance measure internally as complementary financial measures to evaluate the performance and trends of our businesses. We present EBITDA and the related financial ratios, as applicable, because we believe that measures such as these provide useful information with respect to our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditures, working capital requirements and overall operating performance.
EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
| |
• | They do not reflect our cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; |
| |
• | They do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; |
| |
• | They do not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt; |
| |
• | Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; |
| |
• | They are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows; |
| |
• | They do not reflect the impact on earnings of charges resulting from matters unrelated to our ongoing operations; and |
| |
• | Other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently from us, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. |
Because of these limitations, EBITDA and the related financial ratios should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as a measure of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations. You should compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using EBITDA as only supplemental information. See our condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Form 10-Q report.
However, in spite of the above limitations, we believe that EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our results of operations because these measures:
| |
• | Are widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items excluded from the calculation of such terms, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired, among other factors; |
| |
• | Help investors to evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the effect of our capital structure from our operating performance; and |
| |
• | Are used by our management team for various other purposes in presentations to our Board of Directors as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting. |
The following financial items have been added back to our net income when calculating EBITDA:
| |
• | Amortization expense may be useful to investors because it represents the estimated attrition of our acquired customer base and the diminishing value of product rights; |
| |
• | Depreciation may be useful to investors because it generally represents the wear and tear on our property and equipment used in our operations; |
| |
• | Interest expense may be useful to investors for determining current cash flow; and |
| |
• | Income tax expense may be useful to investors because it represents the taxes which may be payable for the period and the change in deferred taxes during the period, and may reduce cash flow available for use in our business. |
Reconciliations of net income to EBITDA and the presentation of EBITDA as a percentage of net revenues were as follows:

Net revenues for the three months ended June 28, 2014 were approximately $186.5 million, compared to approximately $191.5 million for the three months ended June 29, 2013. The net revenues decrease primarily reflects an approximate 8% lower revenue in the military and space end-use markets, partially offset by an approximate 10% increase in revenue in the non-aerospace and defense (“non-A&D”) end-use markets.
Net revenues for the six months ended June 28, 2014 were approximately $366.3 million, compared to approximately $367.4 million for the six months ended June 29, 2013. The net revenues decrease primarily reflects an approximate 5% lower revenue in the military and space end-use markets, partially offset by an approximate 5% higher revenue in the commercial aerospace end-use markets and an approximate 6% higher revenue in the non-A&D end-use markets.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”)
SG&A expenses decreased year over year in the three months ended June 28, 2014 compared to the three months ended June 29, 2013 primarily due to lower non-recurring professional fees and lower benefit related costs.
SG&A expenses decreased year over year in the six months ended June 28, 2014 compared to the six months ended June 29, 2013 primarily due to lower non-recurring professional fees, lower benefit related costs, combined with the prior year included an approximate $0.5 million charge related to the Company’s debt repricing transaction.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased year over year in the three months ended June 28, 2014 compared to the three months ended June 29, 2013 primarily due to lower outstanding debt balances and interest rate reduction as a result of repricing our term loan towards the end of the first quarter of 2013.
Interest expense decreased year over year in the six months ended June 28, 2014 compared to the six months ended June 29, 2013 primarily due to lower outstanding debt balances and interest rate reduction as a result of repricing our term loan towards the end of the first quarter of 2013.
Income Tax Expense
We recorded income tax expense of approximately $3.1 million (effective tax rate of 32.5%) in the three months ended June 28, 2014 compared to approximately $2.1 million (effective tax rate of 27.6%) in the three months ended June 29, 2013.
The effective tax rate for for the three months ended June 28, 2014 did not include any benefit from federal research and development (“R&D”) tax credits as it expired on December 31, 2013. The three months ended June 29, 2013 included federal research and development tax credits benefit of approximately $0.5 million. The federal R&D tax credit has not been extended for 2014, therefore, there was no federal R&D tax credit benefit recognized in the three months ended June 28, 2014.
We recorded income tax expense of approximately $5.3 million (effective tax rate of 32.5%) in the six months ended June 28, 2014 compared to approximately $0.9 million (effective tax rate of 8.6%) in the six months ended June 29, 2013.

The six months ended June 29, 2013 included federal research and development tax credits benefit of approximately $3.0 million. This amount included approximately $2.0 million of 2012 federal research and development tax credits benefit recognized in the six months ended June 29, 2013 as a result of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (the “Act”), passed in January 2013. The Act included an extension of the federal research and development tax credit for amounts paid or incurred after December 31, 2011 and before January 1, 2014. The federal R&D tax credit has not been extended for 2014, therefore, there was no federal R&D tax credit benefit recognized in the six months ended June 28, 2014.
Net Income and Earnings per Diluted Share
Net income and earnings per diluted share for the three months ended June 28, 2014 were approximately $6.5 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, compared to approximately $5.5 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 29, 2013. Net
income for the three months ended June 28, 2014 increased primarily due to improved operating performance, lower selling, general and administrative expenses, and lower interest expense, partially offset by higher income tax expense.

DLT’s segment operating income and EBITDA decreased in the six month period ending June 28, 2014 compared to the six months ended June 29, 2013 as result of a decrease in defense technologies revenue.
Corporate General and Administrative (“CG&A”)
CG&A expenses decreased approximately $1.1 million in the three months ending June 28, 2014 compared to the three months ended June 29, 2013 primarily due to lower non-recurring professional fees and lower benefit costs.
CG&A expenses decreased approximately $2.1 million in the six month period ending June 28, 2014 compared to the six months ended June 29, primarily due to lower non-recurring professional fees and lower benefit costs, combined with the the first quarter of 2013 that included an approximate $0.5 million charge related to our debt repricing transaction.
Backlog
Backlog is subject to delivery delays or program cancellations, which are beyond our control. Backlog is affected by timing differences in the placement of customer orders and tends to be concentrated in several programs to a greater extent than our net revenues. Backlog in non-aerospace and defense markets tends to be of a shorter duration and is generally fulfilled within a 3-month period. As a result of these factors, trends in our overall level of backlog may not be indicative of trends in our future net revenues. Approximately $498.5 million of total backlog is expected to be delivered over the next 12 months. The following table summarizes our backlog as of June 28, 2014 and December 31, 2013:
