(1) Information for the periods ended March 31, 2023 and July 1, 2022 has been revised from amounts reported in prior periods to correct errors related to the accounting for certain labor costs at one business in the Precision Products segment and the net realizable value on certain portions of the Company's inventory at another business in the Structures segment. These errors resulted in an understatement of cost of sales, net of tax, of $0.3 million and $0.4 million, in the three-month and six-month fiscal periods ended July 1, 2022, respectively and $0.8 million in the three-month fiscal period ended March 31, 2023. Refer to the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 for further information.
"The continued strength in our Engineered Products segment led to significant growth compared to the prior year period and provides confidence to raise our operating income and adjusted EBITDA expectations for 2023. Net sales for the Company increased by 21.4% compared to the prior year. Excluding the contribution of Aircraft Wheel and Brake, sales were up 8.2%, mostly driven by our Engineered Products segment. We continue to see strong order intake at this segment, particularly in our PMA aftermarket business. In the six-month period, operating income was $25.2 million, net earnings was $4.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA was $55.8 million, which includes $7.2 million in EBITDA from the JPF program, which is not expected to repeat in the back half of the year" said Ian K. Walsh, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.
"During the quarter we amended and restated our credit facility at $740.0 million maintaining sufficient access to liquidity to address the maturities of our 2024 Convertible Notes and satisfy our working capital requirements. We remain focused on paying down debt through the remainder of the year and realized some of our incremental cash opportunities, as we sold one K-MAX during the period. We remain confident in our ability to execute on the current year guide and are pleased with the outstanding performance at our Engineered Products segment, as well as the overall progress we are making on the cost out initiatives we started at the beginning of the year to right size our company." said Walsh.
OUTLOOK DISCUSSION
Management expects net sales in line with our prior expectations. Given the strength in our performance at our Engineered Products segment, we are raising our expectations for operating income and Adjusted EBITDA. In addition, we have lowered our expectations for net earnings and Diluted EPS due to higher interest expense which is offset by the increase we now expect in operating income. Operating Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow expectations remain consistent with our prior guidance as the higher interest expense is offset by the cash benefit of improved performance and the cash collection on the sale of one K-MAX aircraft.
Net sales: $730.0 million to $750.0 million
Net earnings: $3.7 million to $11.3 million
Adjusted EBITDA: $97.5 million to $107.5 million
Adjusted EBITDA margin: 13.4% to 14.3%
Diluted EPS: $0.13 per share to $0.40 per share; adjusted $0.29 per share to $0.56 per share
Cash from operating activities: $60.0 million to $70.0 million
Free cash flow: $35.0 million to $45.0 million

Structures - Our Structures segment serves the aerospace and defense and medical end markets providing sophisticated complex metallic and composite aerostructures for commercial, military and general aviation fixed and rotary wing aircraft, and medical imaging solutions.

NON-GAAP MEASURES DISCLOSURE
Management believes that the Non-GAAP financial measures (i.e. financial measures that are not computed in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) identified by an asterisk (*) used in this release or in other disclosures provide important perspectives into the Company's ongoing business performance. The Company does not intend for the information to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures. Other companies may define the measures differently. We define the Non-GAAP measures used in this release and other disclosures as follows:
Adjusted EBITDA - Adjusted EBITDA for the consolidated company results is defined as net earnings before interest, taxes, other expense (income), net, depreciation and amortization and certain items that are not indicative of the operating performance of the Company for the periods presented. Adjusted EBITDA for the segments is defined as operating income before depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of Net sales. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin provide an additional perspective on the operating results of the organization and its earnings capacity and helps improve the comparability of our results between periods because they provide a view of our operations that excludes items that management believes are not reflective of operating performance, such as items traditionally removed from net earnings in the calculation of EBITDA as well as Other expense (income), net and certain items that are not indicative of the operating performance of the Company for the period presented. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not presented as an alternative measure of operating performance, as determined in accordance with GAAP. The following tables illustrate the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA:

Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share - Adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted earnings per share are defined as GAAP "Net earnings" and "Diluted earnings per share", less items that are not indicative of the operating performance of the business for the periods presented. These items are included in the reconciliation below. Management uses adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted earnings per share to evaluate performance period over period, to analyze the underlying trends in our business and to assess its performance relative to its competitors. We believe that this information is useful for investors and financial institutions seeking to analyze and compare companies on the basis of operating performance.
The following table illustrates the calculation of adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted earnings per share:

Free Cash Flow - Free cash flow is defined as GAAP "Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities" in a period less "Expenditures for property, plant & equipment" in the same period. Management believes free cash flow provides an important perspective on our ability to generate cash from our business operations and, as such, that it is an important financial measure for use in evaluating the Company's financial performance. Free cash flow should not be viewed as representing the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures such as dividends to shareholders or acquisitions. Management uses free cash flow internally to assess overall liquidity. The following table illustrates the calculation of free cash flow.
