FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

EDGEWOOD, N.Y. – May 15, 2018 – CPI Aerostructures, Inc. (“CPI Aero®” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: CVU) today announced financial results for the three month period ended March 31, 2018.

 

Note: Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) using the modified retrospective method. Revenue recognition on all of the Company’s contracts did not change materially as a result of the adoption of ASC 606.

 

First Quarter 2018 vs. First Quarter 2017

 

Revenue of $18.2 million compared to $20.0 million;

 

Gross profit of $4.0 million compared to $4.5 million;

 

Pre-tax income of $1.6 million compared to $2.0 million;

 

Net income of $1.3 million compared to $1.2 million;

 

Earnings per diluted share of $0.14 compared to $0.14; and

 

Total backlog at $373.3 million with multi-year defense contracts comprising 78%.

 

First Quarter Highlights

 

Announced acquisition of Welding Metallurgy, Inc. (“WMI”);

 

Strengthened senior management team with addition of former Northrop Grumman Senior Director of Business Development to lead Company’s defense market strategy and business development;

 

Received a contract extension on the AH-1Z aerostructures program from Bell; and

 

Received new awards from Northrop on structural kits for E-2D Advanced Hawkeyes for Japan.

 

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company received a commitment letter from BankUnited to amend the BankUnited facility, extending the term of the revolving loan for an additional two years to May 31, 2021, as well as amending the payments under the term loan through May 31, 2021.

“We delivered a fourth consecutive quarter of profitability on the strength of strong operational performance and continued cost control,” stated Douglas McCrosson, president and CEO of CPI Aerostructures. “As expected, revenue declined year-over-year and was attributable to lower revenue from F-16 wing components and E-2D outer wing panel kits that offset higher revenue from our Next Generation Jammer pod program with Raytheon and our T-38 Pacer Classic III prime contracts with the U.S. Air Force. The decrease in F-16 program revenue is a timing issue and we expect revenue from this program to grow in fiscal 2018. Revenue for our E-2D wing panel kit program experienced a decline as we transition from one multi-year contract to an anticipated new multi-year contract expected later this year.

 

“During the quarter we moved forward with our acquisition of WMI and expect to close the transaction in the second quarter of 2018,” continued Mr. McCrosson. “Our mutual customers have reacted very positively to the news and we are already developing a business development pipeline that reflects our combined technical capabilities. We remain focused on long-term growth opportunities and expanding our backlog of defense orders that, with our efficient infrastructure, keep us on a trajectory for top-line growth and profitability.”
