CPSH CPS Technologies Corp

CPS Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ:CPSH) (“CPS” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended June 29, 2024.

Second Quarter Summary

• Revenue of $5.0 million for the second quarter of 2024 versus $7.4 million in the prior-year period, reflecting lower overall shipments due to the end of the Company’s HybridTech Armor® contract with Kinetic Protection for the US Navy

• Gross margin of (4.6) percent versus 29.6 percent in the second quarter of 2023, largely reflecting lower manufacturing efficiencies and impact of fixed costs on lower revenue.

• Operating loss of $1.3 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2024 compared to an operating profit of $0.7 million in the prior-year period

• The Company’s recent SBIR Phase II award and ongoing product development initiatives in response to customer requirements point to accelerating wins heading into fiscal 2025

“This quarter’s results reflect the previously-announced completion of our HybridTech® Armor contract with Kinetic Protection, as the Navy’s current needs have been fulfilled after many quarters of delivering our state-of-the-art panels to provide ballistic protection for the U.S. Navy’s fleet of aircraft carriers,” said Brian Mackey, President and CEO. “While this near-term headwind has been well known for quite some time, it does not lessen the impact it has had on our overall performance. Despite the current operating environment, our growth path going forward will be augmented by the continued expansion of our product development pipeline.

“Notably, our latest SBIR contract from the U.S. Navy Air Systems Command, valued at over $1 million, will enable us to continue to develop our novel metal matrix composites for thermal energy storage applications. Our MMCs have been shown to provide cutting-edge thermal energy storage, which supports long-range missile strike capability for the Navy. Potential applications include avionics, weapons, and high-pulse power modules. This new program, along with ongoing efforts to address our customer’s pressing technical challenges, with materials such as fiber reinforced aluminum, or “FRA”, and lightweight radiation shielding material, will continue to enhance company value. Our new Phase II contract, the company’s first in many years, clearly underscores not only our unique capabilities but the successful execution of a long-term growth strategy through expanded product development that addresses critical customer requirements.”

Results of Operations CPS reported revenue of $5.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 versus $7.4 million in the prior-year period, reflecting the completion of the Company’s HybridTech Armor® contract with Kinetic Protection, the prime contractor for the US Navy. Gross loss was $0.2 million, or (4.6) percent of revenue, versus a gross profit of $2.2 million, or 29.6 percent of revenue, in the fiscal 2023 second quarter, with the negative variance year-over-year due to the impact of fixed costs on lower overall revenue and reduced production efficiencies due to new product launches.

The Company reported an operating loss of $1.3 million in the fiscal 2024 second quarter compared with an operating profit of $0.7 million in the prior-year period. Reported net loss was $1.0 million, or $(0.07) per diluted share, versus net income of $0.6 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the quarter ended July 1, 2023.
