Mitchell Binder, President & Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our results for the fourth quarter, and the full year, benefitted from the significant operating leverage our business generates as a result of an increase in our revenues. Our sales for the fourth quarter increased by 39% from the prior comparable period and due to the operating leverage and cost cutting measures we implemented over the past two years, our net income improved significantly."
Mr. Binder added, "We continue to keep our costs under control as evidenced by our improved gross margins and a 22% reduction in selling, general and administrative costs for the year ended 2015 as compared to 2014. Our challenge remains to drive our revenue levels higher and to further improve our operating margins. To that end, since the fourth quarter of 2015, we have received several new contracts that have resulted in the following:
- Bookings in our fourth quarter of 2015 exceeded $6,300,000.
- In January 2016, our Electronics Group received two awards for its displays on a major aviation program totaling in excess of $3,000,000.
- Consolidated bookings for the month of January 2016 exceeded $4,650,000.
- Due to additional orders received in February, our first quarter bookings through the end of February 2016 were in excess of $7,500,000 which compares to bookings of approximately $5,400,000 during the first two months of 2015.
Mr. Binder continued, "As a result of this activity, delivery schedules are well positioned in the third and fourth quarters of 2016. Our backlog at December 31, 2015 was $11.1 million and was slightly down from our $12.0 backlog at December 31, 2014. This was due to slightly lower backlogs at both our Electronics and Power Groups as well as the aforementioned 39% increase in 2015 fourth quarter sales during the current year. This reduction in backlog has been partially offset by the significant bookings that we have received during the first quarter of 2016 to date."
Mr. Binder added, "Our Power Group is working with its customers on several new opportunities for its COTS products. Furthermore, new customer alliances and the bid and proposal pipeline for our VPX products are also active. Most of our VPX contracts to date have been for pre-production orders with significant quantities projected once full production is attained. However, bookings in our commercial division remain weak due to a decrease in oil and gas activity and a weak capital spending environment."
David Goldman, Chief Financial Officer, noted, "Our financial condition remains strong. At December 31, 2015, total current assets were approximately $16.2 million versus total current liabilities of approximately $1.7 million for a 9.8 to 1 current ratio. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2015, aggregated approximately $2.0 million. To offset future federal and New York State taxes resulting from profits, we have approximately $10 million and $3 million in available federal and New York State net operating loss carryforwards, respectively, which should enhance future cash flow."
Mr. Goldman added, "During the quarter, we continued to pay down our debt. Our tangible book value at December 31, 2015 was $3.10 as compared to $2.96 at September 30, 2015 and $2.89 at December 31, 2014 (this does not include any value for the potential deferred tax asset from our operating loss carryforwards that could offset future taxable income). During the fourth quarter of 2015, we purchased 11,670 shares of our common stock and from January 1, 2016 through March 3, 2016, we purchased an additional 22,890 shares. Since January 1, 2012, we have repurchased in excess of 493,000 shares of our stock in the marketplace at an average price of $3.41 per share."
Mr. Goldman concluded, "As previously announced, we amended our Credit Agreement with our primary lender in October 2015 whereby the maturity date for our $4 million committed line of credit was extended to August 1, 2017. We were in compliance with our financial covenants at December 31, 2015."
Mr. Binder concluded, "Our goal is to build on our 2015 earnings and continue to drive revenue to maximize our operating performance. Our Electronics Group has gotten off to a very strong start in 2016 and is currently working with our customers on several pending awards for both new and follow-on opportunities, although timing is always an uncertainty. In addition to VPX technology, our engineers are working with our key customers on certain next generation products, which we hope will secure our position on certain mission critical programs."
