Tel-Instrument Electronics Corp. Reports Net Income of $ 576k for First Quarter 2022 | 2021-08-12 | Press Releases

Tel-Instrument Electronics Corp. (“Tel & CloseCurlyDoubleQuote; or” Company & CloseCurlyDoubleQuote;) (OTCQB: TIKK), a leading designer and manufacturer of avionics testing and measurement solutions, today reported net income of $ 576k ($ 0.15 per share) on revenue of $ 4.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 ended June 30, 2021.

Highlights include:

  • Revenue for the first quarter rose to $ 4.1 million, up 40.6 percent from a year ago.
  • Gross margins remain stable at 48.8% due to production efficiency, strict cost control and product mix.
  • Quarterly operating expenses fell 4 percent to $ 1.25 million despite increased revenue and profit-sharing accruals.
  • Operating income rose to $ 766k for the current quarter from $ 209k in the quarter a year ago.
  • Net income rose to $ 576k, or $ 0.15 per ordinary share and $ 0.11 per share on a fully diluted basis.
  • EBITDA for the first quarter improved to $ 812k from $ 255k in the previous quarter.
  • Cash balances improved to $ 6.8 million, compared to $ 5.5 million at the beginning of the fiscal year.
  • Net worth improved to $ 5.7 million from $ 5.2 million at the beginning of the fiscal year.

Mr. Jeffrey O & CloseCurlyQuote; Hara, president and CEO of Tel-Instrument & CloseCurlyQuote, commented: “We are pleased to report improved first-quarter operating results, with revenue of $ 4.1 million. This was generated by strong sales from our military business and a moderate recovery in our trading business. The problems with the COVID-19 supply chain that we experienced in the previous fiscal year seem to be easing, and we are cautiously optimistic that this trend will continue. The company continues to do well in managing operating costs with a reduction of 4% on an annual basis. The delay remained strong at the end of the first quarter at $ 6.1 million. We expect the business with international test modes 5 and orders for the F-35 program to remain strong over the next few years. We are also actively working with the US Navy on ‘Medium Life & CloseCurlyDoubleQuote; update our CRAFT test kits, which can generate significant revenue over the next five to 10 years. We also continue to invest in our market-leading Mode 5 products and plan to demonstrate new test capabilities for Mode 5 Level 2B at an upcoming military test event. This could potentially lead to future software upgrades to all of our Mode 5 on-site test kits.

Our goal over the last few years has been to strengthen our balance sheet and set aside enough money to pay full compensation for Aeroflex’s damages, if necessary, in the event that we fail with our forthcoming legal appeal. This has already been achieved with a cash balance of $ 6.8 million on June 30, 2021. The company plans to apply for full forgiveness of the $ 722 thousand PPP loan in the second quarter, which is expected to lead to a balance with zero external debt.

To meet the standards for the next generation of military applications, we upgraded our 4.5kg manual SDR / OMNI test to include a much faster processor with improved video graphics capabilities. It is designed to meet Class 1 environmental specifications, making it an ideal set of tests for the military market. The goal of this new set of tests is to regain market share in the commercial avionics test kits business and expand into a much larger market for secure radio communications tests. We will demonstrate this device to customers from next month and expect to start accepting commercial orders this fall.

With regard to litigation with Aeroflex, we continue to believe that we have serious grounds for canceling or reducing the award. The appeal process has been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but we expect a decision within the next 12 months.
