CPI AEROSTRUCTURES ANNOUNCES 2013 THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
$83.1 Million in New Contract Awards as of October 31st, 30% Higher than Same Period of 2012

Edgewood, NY – November 5, 2013  CPI Aerostructures, Inc. (“CPI Aero®”) (NYSE MKT: CVU) today announced financial results for the 2013 third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Third Quarter 2013 vs. Third Quarter 2012
•  
Revenue was $20,664,645 compared to $21,340,831;
•  
Gross margin was 21.7% compared to 27.2%;
•  
Pre-tax income was $2,772,100 compared to $4,025,437; and,
•  
Net income was $1,911,100 or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to $2,795,437 or $0.33 per diluted share.

Nine Months 2013 vs. Nine Months 2012
•  
Revenue was $61,702,530 compared to $61,916,552;
•  
Gross margin was 21.3% compared to 26.7%;
•  
Pre-tax income was to $7,777,650 compared to $10,759,775; and,
•  
Net income was $5,366,650 or $0.63 per diluted share compared to $7,410,775 or $0.96 per diluted share.

* Diluted earnings per share for the 2013 nine month period was calculated on 10% more shares outstanding, than in the prior year period due to the Company’s 1.2 million share public offering completed in July 2012.
 
Edward J. Fred, CPI Aero’s CEO & President, stated, “As projected, 2013 third quarter and nine month revenue and net income decreased as compared to the same periods of 2012.  We expect our full year 2013 results to be more similar to those of 2011.”
 
Mr. Fred continued, “The slight decrease in total revenue for the 2013 nine month period, as compared to the same period of 2012, was due to substantially lower revenue from prime government contracts, offset by higher revenues generated from government and commercial subcontracts. Specifically:
 
-  
Revenue generated from government subcontracts increased by 7.7% to approximately $41.5 million, due to $6.9 million higher revenue from the A-10 program, $3.0 million higher revenue from our program with UTC Aerospace, offset by a $7.5 million decrease from the E-2D program.
 
-  
Revenue generated from commercial subcontracts increased by 5.6% to approximately $19.2 million, primarily due to increased production rates on the G650 program.
 
-  
Revenue generated from prime government contracts substantially decreased to approximately $1.0 million, a decrease of 80%.”
 
Mr. Fred added, “As we reported in our second quarter earnings announcement, our gross margin for 2013 was affected by adjustments to our long-term programs with Spirit, Northrop Grumman and Boeing, as well as our C-5 TOP program.  Our gross margin should substantially improve in the fourth quarter of 2013 and we currently expect our gross margin for the 2013 full year to be within the range of 23% to 24%.”
 
Mr. Fred noted, “We will take steps to further reduce our selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) as we continue to improve the efficiency of our administrative processes.  Our 2013 third quarter and nine month SG&A expenses as a percent of revenue decreased to 7.3% and 7.9%, respectively, as compared to 7.6% and 8.5% in the same periods of 2012, respectively.  The decrease for both 2013 reporting periods was mainly due to lower accrued officers’ bonus, accounting, legal and other consulting fees, slightly offset by increased salaries due to higher headcount. Lower gross margins, although slightly offset by lower SG&A expenses, resulted in a decrease in net income for the 2013 third quarter and nine month periods, as compared to the same periods of 2012.”
 
Mr. Fred added, “Our total backlog at September 30, 2013 increased to $439.7 million as compared to $391.9 million at December 31, 2012.  This increase was attributable to a $29.5 million increase in backlog on commercial programs and an $18.3 million increase in backlog for military programs.  Funded backlog at September 30, 2013 increased to $102.5 million, from $52.3 million at December 31, 2012, which was the result of increases of funded backlog for both military and commercial programs. Specifically, at September 30, 2013 as compared to December 31, 2012, funded backlog for military programs increased by $30.4 million to $73.6 million and funded backlog for commercial programs increased by $19.8 million to $28.9 million.”
 
 
Discussing new military contract awards, Mr. Fred noted, “Although sequester and military budget cuts continue to affect our industry, since mid 2013 we have received new orders and releases for military aircraft, including:
-  
A $47 million long-term agreement from Sikorsky for the production of the BLACK HAWK fuel panels.
-  
Additionally, we received an order on our E-2D program that has extended our backlog through 2014.
-  
Lastly, we received new purchase orders from Bell Helicopter on the AH-1Z program.”

Mr. Fred continued, “Additionally, we are aware that our customers have received orders on some of our long term military programs, which have not yet translated into purchase orders to us, but should in the coming months.”

As for commercial programs, Mr. Fred said, “In the third quarter of 2013 we have received new purchase orders from both Embraer and Cessna, which have increased our overall new business awards.”

“2013 has been a solid year for new business from both the military and commercial segments. New contract awards as of October 31, 2013 from all customers were approximately $83.1 million, as compared to approximately $64.1 million in new contract awards for the same period in 2012.  We expect additional contracts to be released before year-end.”
 
Discussing expectations for full year 2013, Mr. Fred added, “As previously announced, we expect revenue and earnings to be lower than 2012 and more similar to those of 2011.  Commercial programs should generate a larger percentage of our total 2013 revenue as compared to 2012.  Additionally, we expect product shipments to be greater than in 2012, or any other year, as many of our programs have transitioned from development to production.  Increased shipments, combined with less spending for startup costs associated with new contracts and a decline in non-recurring expenses on our maturing programs, will result in positive cash flow from operations of approximately $3 million.”
 
Mr. Fred concluded, “Based on our large funded backlog for military and commercial programs and several large orders expected to be awarded before 2013 year-end, we believe that CPI Aero is well positioned to grow in 2014.  We will continue to take steps to further diversify our customer base by focusing our efforts on bidding on new commercial programs, including other helicopter and business/private jet programs, as well as large commercial aircraft programs.”
