EDGEWOOD, N.Y., Dec. 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CPI Aerostructures, Inc. (“CPI Aero®”) (NYSE American: CVU) today announced financial results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021.
Commenting on first quarter 2021 results, Douglas McCrosson, president and CEO, said, “As several newer defense programs entered the manufacturing phase and other early-stage programs ramped up production we delivered 83% higher revenue while also achieving a 1,500-basis point improvement in gross margin compared to a year ago. Effective execution of our funded military backlog continued to drive revenue growth, with revenue from military contracts more than doubling to $28.9 million while revenue from commercial aviation contracts was nearly cut in half to $1.9 million. The combination of the gross profit improvement and lower interest expense, slightly offset by increased SGA expenses, drove a $4.6 million swing to bottom line profitability.”
Added Mr. McCrosson, “However, the rate of sales growth not unexpectedly increased our working capital needs during the quarter and both net contract assets and accounts receivable grew significantly in the three-month period resulting in a use of funds in operating activities of $4.9 million for the quarter. We expect to report positive cash flow from operations during the remainder of 2021 as contract assets have burned down with product deliveries, and we maintain our previously stated belief that operating cash flow for 2021 will be higher than 2020.”
“Funded backlog at March 31, 2021 was $162.7 million of which $160.5 or 99% was for defense markets, compared to $169.6 million as of December 31, 2020, of which $166.2 million, or 98%, was for defense markets. This 4% decline was expected given the fact that we received more than $60 million in new firm orders, including $52.1 million in orders from Northrop Grumman for the E-2D program to support several years’ of deliveries, during the first quarter of 2020. Total backlog as of March 31, 2021 was $451.0 million, including multi-year defense contracts of $433.5 million, compared to total backlog as of December 31, 2020 of $476.2 million, including multi-year defense contracts of $456.8 million,” continued Mr. McCrosson. “We believe the defense market remains strong and we have a robust pipeline of opportunities for military applications in key strategic sectors including electronic warfare, hypersonics and unmanned systems. We have been notified by customers that we were successful on winning several new contracts that we plan to announce if and when permitted by our customers. This gives me confidence to believe that we are on track to end 2021 with approximately $500 million in total backlog, up 5% from the end of 2020.”
“We are affirming our previously stated expectation for 2021 revenue greater than $100 million compared to $87.6 million in 2020 and net income of greater than $4 million, not including the $4.8 million of other income related to the July 1, 2021 forgiveness of our Paycheck Protection Program loan, as compared to the net loss of $3.7 million in 2020. As we head into 2022, we intend to remain focused on improving working capital management, strengthening our balance sheet through further debt reductions, increasing profit margins via improved operational efficiency, and lowering SG&A costs as legal and accounting costs return to historical levels. We will also continue looking for opportunities to optimize our product mix and discontinue products and programs that cannot achieve a satisfactory margin,” concluded Mr. McCrosson.
