CPI Aerostructures Announces 2017 First Quarter Financial Results
(firmenpresse) - EDGEWOOD, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 05/09/17 -- CPI Aerostructures, Inc. ("CPI Aero®") (NYSE MKT: CVU) today announced financial results for the three month period ended March 31, 2017.
Revenue of $20.0 million compared to $12.7 million;
Gross profit (loss) was $4.5 million compared to $(11.6) million;
Pre-tax income (loss) was $2.0 million compared to $(14.6) million;
Net income (loss) was $1.2 million compared to $(9.2) million; and
Earnings (loss) per diluted share were $0.14 per diluted share compared to $(1.07) per diluted share.
Total backlog at $400.8 million with multi-year defense contracts comprising 78%
Note: First quarter fiscal 2016 results included a one-time non-cash charge of approximately $13.5 million related to the Company''s A-10 Wing Replacement Program.
"2017 is off to a solid start driven largely by a favorable program mix, improved operational performance and cost control," said Douglas McCrosson, president and chief executive officer of CPI Aero. "Revenue in the first quarter was driven by the Northrop Grumman E-2D, Gulfstream G650, HondaJet and the F-16 maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) program. Revenue and gross margin benefited from shipments of F-16 components that the customer requested earlier than planned.
"Subsequent to the close of the quarter, the 2017 Omnibus Appropriations Act was signed, providing increased funding to the Department of Defense and eliminating some of the funding uncertainties that existed earlier this year. As a result, we expect to see some of the defense opportunities in our bid pipeline convert to new, long-term agreements in time to contribute to our financial performance for the year. When combined with our stronger than expected start to the year, we therefore see a path to the high end of our pre-tax income guidance range of $8.1 million to $8.5 million. Furthermore, the 2017 spending bill contains funding earmarked for A-10 wing replacement and includes language that prevents the U.S. Air Force from using GFY2017 funds to retire or take steps to retire the A-10 aircraft. We believe this bodes very well for the continuation of our A-10 Wing Replacement Program under new terms that should result in a profitable opportunity for CPI Aero. While we believe that the timing of a potential new A-10 contract will have limited effect on this year''s results, the A-10 could be a catalyst for continued defense revenue growth for us in 2018," concluded Mr. McCrosson.
