CPS Technologies Corporation Announces Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

 

Set for Improved Financial Performance in Fourth Quarter and Beyond

 

Norton, Massachusetts – October 30, 2024 – CPS Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ:CPSH) (“CPS” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended September 28, 2024.

 

Third Quarter Summary

 

 

Revenue of $4.2 million for the third quarter of 2024 versus $6.3 million in the prior-year period, reflecting lower overall shipments due to the previously-announced end of the Company’s HybridTech Armor® contract with Kinetic Protection for the U.S. Navy

 

 

Gross margin of (12) percent versus 20 percent in the third quarter of 2023, largely reflecting lower manufacturing efficiencies as well as start-up costs tied to hiring and training of a third shift, the benefit of which will be seen in the fourth quarter and beyond.

 

 

Operating loss of $1.5 million for the quarter ended September 28, 2024 compared to an operating profit of $0.1 million in the prior-year period

 

 

Recently won a Phase II contract from the U.S. Department of Energy, worth $1.1 million over 24 months, to continue development of “Modular Radiation Shielding for Transportation and Use of Microreactors”

 

 

Secured a new $200K development contract from the U.S. Naval Air Systems Command, or NAVAIR, under which CPS will continue development of metal matrix composite solutions for applications requiring high strength at reduced weight.

 

 

The Company today announced that it has received an award, valued at approximately $12 million, from a longstanding global semiconductor customer to provide power module components and related solutions. See separate press release for further details.

 

“While this quarter was negatively impacted by the costs related to staffing and training a third operating shift, we are optimistic about significantly improved performance in the fourth quarter and beyond,” said Brian Mackey, President and CEO. “We recently won another Phase II award from the U.S. government – with the Department of Energy – and just today announced a $12.0 million power module component contract, with a well-known global semiconductor manufacturer. Our third shift began production in the third quarter, though the impact on revenue will not be felt until the fourth quarter. We anticipate higher deliveries going forward. Overall, our book to bill ratio – currently 1.22 – provides confidence that we are weathering the storm of headwinds caused by the end of our HybridTech Armor® contract, supply chain inefficiencies, and a challenging staffing environment. We are now confident that the Company’s long-term strategy of expanding its product portfolio, working with the government to fund innovative R&D initiatives, and growing our core product lines are starting to bear fruit. We appreciate our investors’ continued patience and interest, and we look forward to the quarters to come.”

 

Results of Operations

CPS reported revenue of $4.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 versus $6.3 million in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting the previously-announced completion of the Company’s HybridTech Armor® contract with Kinetic Protection, the prime contractor for the U.S. Navy; another major customer has also purchased less, year-over-year, as it works through excess inventory.

 

Gross loss was $0.5 million, or (12) percent of revenue, versus a gross profit of $1.2 million, or 20 percent of revenue, in the fiscal 2023 third quarter, with the negative variance year-over-year due to lower overall revenue and reduced manufacturing efficiencies, along with costs associated with staffing and training a third shift that began operating the last week of August. During the quarter, this new staff worked alongside other workers for training, impacting overall cost of goods sold without a corresponding top line revenue component in the quarter.

 

The Company reported an operating loss of $1.5 million in the fiscal 2024 third quarter compared with an operating profit of $0.1 million in the prior-year period. Reported net loss was $1.0 million, or $(0.07) per diluted share, versus net income of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the quarter ended September 30, 2023.
