    ソース: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 01 5 2024 15:15:00   America/Chicago

    NORTON, Mass., May 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CPS Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ:CPSH) (“CPS” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the fiscal first quarter ended March 30, 2024.

    First Quarter Summary

    • Revenue of $5.9 million for the first quarter of 2024 versus $7.1 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to further quality control testing and production staffing challenges
    • Gross margin of 15.3 percent versus 31.6 percent in the first quarter of 2023, largely due to lower manufacturing efficiencies and non-revenue producing quality control costs
    • Operating loss of $0.3 million for the quarter ended March 30, 2024 compared to an operating profit of $0.7 million in the prior-year period
    • The Company announced the signing of a manufacturing license agreement with Triton Systems for Fiber-Reinforced Aluminum (FRA) Composites® to address key customer requirements through the expansion of its product portfolio

    “Our revenue came in lower than last year, given the use of production resources for quality control and other long-term improvements,” said Brian Mackey, President and CEO. “As previously discussed, we anticipate the coming quarters to also be impacted by lower HybridTech Armor® sales. However, we remain very optimistic on a number of fronts, including our long-term growth trajectory. The Company’s order intake is increasing across its other product lines, our recent technology license agreement with Triton is expected to provide new avenues for expansion, and ongoing R&D is addressing critical customer requirements. In addition, we are working with Kinetic Protection on the very real opportunities for additional armor orders with the Navy. The current fiscal year is clearly focused on preparing CPS for its next phase of growth, encompassing all key markets, as well as business development initiatives to accelerate contract bookings and revenue generation.

    “Our R&D efforts enable us to directly address clearly defined market requirements. For example, last week we presented our initial results from a recently completed Phase I SBIR at the National Reactor Innovation Center Program Review at Idaho National Lab. Our novel composite material demonstrated neutron and gamma radiation shielding with performance similar to lead or tungsten but with a reduction in mass of more than 55%. We continue to aggressively pursue relevant growth opportunities, as evidenced by our recent submission of four Phase I and two Phase II proposals. As we leverage these programs to expand our portfolio of market-driven offerings, we anticipate revenue opportunities with both government and commercial customers. These efforts will strengthen customer demand and improve the Company’s operating outlook going forward. I look forward to discussing these programs in more detail on our upcoming investor call.”

    Results of Operations
    CPS reported revenue of $5.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 versus $7.1 million in the prior-year period, reflecting lower demand from certain over-stocked customers and reduced production capacity due to continued quality control testing. Gross profit was $0.9 million, or 15.3 percent of revenue, versus $2.2 million, or 31.6 percent of revenue, in the fiscal 2023 first quarter, with the lower gross margin year-over-year due to the lower sales volumes in Q1 2024 on consistent fixed costs as well as ongoing quality control testing.

    The Company reported an operating loss of $0.3 million in the fiscal 2024 first quarter compared with an operating profit of $0.7 million in the prior-year period. Reported net loss was $0.1 million, or $(0.01) per diluted share, versus net income of $0.5 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the quarter ended April 1, 2023.
