Business Description
CUBIC CORPORATION (Cubic) is a leading international provider of cost-effective
systems and solutions that address the mass transit and global defense markets’
most pressing challenges. We believe that we have significant transportation
and defense industry expertise which, combined with our innovative technology
capabilities, contributes to our leading customer positions and allows us to
deepen and further expand each of our business segments in key markets. We operate
in three reportable business segments across the global transportation and defense
markets.
CTS specializes in the design, development, production, installation, maintenance
and operation of automated fare payment, traffic management and enforcement
solutions, real-time information collection systems, and revenue management
infrastructure and technologies for transportation agencies. As part of our
turnkey solutions, CTS also provides these customers with a comprehensive suite
of business process outsourcing (BPO) services and expertise, such as card and
payment media management, central systems and application support, retail network
management, passenger call centers and financial clearing and settlement support.
As transportation authorities seek to optimize their operations by outsourcing
bundled systems and services, CTS has transformed itself from a provider of
automated fare collection (AFC) systems into a systems integrator and services
company focused on the intelligent transportation market.
We implemented a plan to restructure our defense services and defense systems
businesses into a single business called Cubic Global Defense (CGD) to better
align our defense business organizational structure with customer requirements,
increase operational efficiencies and improve collaboration and innovation across
the company. After this restructuring there is now a single, combined management
structure for our legacy Cubic Defense Systems (CDS) and legacy Mission Support
Services (MSS) segments. However, for segment financial reporting purposes,
we continue to report the financial results of our defense systems and defense
services segments separately. These two reporting segments have been renamed
Cubic Global Defense Systems (CGD Systems) and Cubic Global Defense Services
(CGD Services), respectively. To date, there have been no significant changes
in the operations that are included in each of these reporting segments as a
result of the restructuring.
Our complementary defense businesses, CGD Services and CGD Systems, provided
approximately 60% of our sales in fiscal year 2015. CGD Services provides comprehensive
training and exercise, operations analysis, and modeling and simulation support,
as well as training analysis, curriculum design, and operations and maintenance
services to all four branches of the U.S. military, including the special operations
forces, as well as to allied nations. In addition, CGD Services offers a broad
range of highly specialized national security solutions to the intelligence
community. CGD Systems is a leading provider of realistic, high-fidelity air,
ground and surface combat training systems for the U.S. and allied nations.
These training solutions offer the latest live, virtual, constructive, and game-based
technology, integrated to optimize training effectiveness. CGD Systems is also
a key supplier of secure communications solutions, including Intelligence, Surveillance
and Reconnaissance (ISR) data links, personnel locator systems for search and
rescue missions, high power amplifiers for HF communications and cross domain
products. In addition, in December of 2014 we acquired DTECH, a provider of
modular networking and baseband communications equipment which adds networking
capability to our secure communications portfolio.
