Douglas J. McCrosson, CPI Aero's President & CEO, stated, "For the second quarter of 2015, as compared to the first quarter of 2015, we reported improvements in revenue and net income. We expect these sequential quarterly improvements to continue over the next two quarters and our performance for the second half of the year to be stronger than the first half due to the timing of delivery orders associated with several major programs received in late 2014 to early 2015."
Mr. McCrosson continued, "During the first half of 2015, revenue generated from commercial contracts was $19.8 million, mainly related to our Gulfstream, Embraer and Honda programs. Revenue generated from military contracts was $22.0 million, of which $21.7 million was from Tier 1 military subcontracts with OEMS and $0.3 million was from government prime contracts."
Mr. McCrosson added, "Our gross margin for the first half of 2015 was affected by the profit adjustment we made last year related to revised estimates for the A-10 Wing Replacement Program (WRP). As a result, we continued to record revenue on this program with zero gross margin. Excluding the effect of the A-10 WRP, first half 2015 gross margin on all remaining programs improved to 23.4%, compared to 20.3% in the same period of 2014. This increase is primarily the result of higher gross margin on certain of the Company's commercial programs as production rates have increased and is within the historical and expected range of gross profit percentage based on the Company's current mix of programs."
Discussing new contact awards and backlog, Mr. McCrosson added, "From the beginning of the year through June 30, 2015, we received approximately $24.2 million of new contract awards, which included approximately $6.4 million of government prime contract awards, $6.1 million of government subcontract awards and approximately $11.7 million of commercial subcontract awards, compared to a total of $19.2 million of new contract awards, of all types, in the same period last year.
"Among the contracts received since the beginning of the year is a multi-year contract by Lockheed Martin Company to manufacture four lock assemblies for the arresting gear door on 289 F-35A CTOL aircraft. This contract which has an estimated value of $10.6 million, was an important win as it added a new aircraft platform for CPI Aero, for a vital system for the global security for decades to come. The F-35 program, combined with the F-16 aircraft program which we were awarded in late 2014, are two important military programs for us which should generate significant revenues for several years.
"Total backlog at March 31, 2015 increased to a record level of $446.6 million, as compared to $403.7 million at December 31, 2014. At June 30, 2015, funded backlog was to $130.6 million, up $10 million as compared to funded backlog of $120.6 million at December 31, 2014. The value of the unfunded backlog (long-term contracts that have not been converted to funded orders) at June 30, 2015 increased to $316.0 million from $283.1 million at December 31, 2014, with 40% related to our long-term commercial aerospace programs."
Mr. McCrosson added, "Going forward, we expect a very strong second half and expect to report a record year in terms of revenue. Specifically for 2015 we are reaffirming our guidance which calls for:
- Revenue to be in the range of $92.0 million to $102.0 million, as compared to $83.0 million reported in 2014.
- Gross margin to be in the range of 19.0% to 21.0%, lower than our historical margin as we will continue to book A-10 WRP revenue at zero profit.
- Net income to be in the range of $7.2 million to $8.0 million.
"During the quarter ended June 30, 2015 we received tax refunds of approximately $8.1 million related to the profit adjustment we made to our A-10 WRP in 2014. As a result we generated $2.4 million in cash from operations for the first six months of 2015, compared to $(9.5) million during the same period in 2014. We expect to generate more than $6.1 million in cash from operations in the second half of 2015. Additionally, as of June 30, 2015, we had approximately $4.3 million in both federal and state net operating loss carryforwards available which should offset future federal and state income taxes."
