Edward J. Fred, CPI Aero’s President & CEO, stated, “Over the last two years, we have focused on increasing our subcontracting business to leading aerospace prime contractors.  This strategy and its execution have paid off.  Through the first nine months of this year, our three largest commercial customers, The Boeing Company, Northrop Grumman and Sikorsky accounted for 31%, 22% and 12% of revenue, respectively; with only 23% of our revenue coming from government prime contract awards as compared to 37% during the same period last year.”
 
 

 
 
He added, “The gross margin was approximately 26% for both the 2010 third quarter and nine month periods, since the long-term subcontract programs received in mid-2008 have now matured, our

operating efficiencies have improved and we are no longer incurring excess costs associated with the start up phase of long-term programs.  We expect gross margin for the final quarter of 2010 to be in the 24% to 26% range.  Operating and net income rose at a much faster rate than revenue as S,G&A increased only 3% and 10% over last year’s three and nine month periods, while revenue increased 30.9% and 17.7% over the respective periods in 2009.”
 
 

 
 
Mr. Fred continued, “As of November 5, 2010, we received approximately $57.7 million of new contract awards, which included approximately $45.0 million of government subcontract awards, approximately $8.0 million of government prime contract awards, and approximately $4.7 million of commercial subcontract awards, compared to a total of $17.5 million of new contract awards, of all types, in the same period last year.”
 
 

 
 
Mr. Fred continued, “We look forward to additional new orders from existing contracts as well as from the unawarded solicitations of approximately $384 million on which we have bid.”
 
 

 
 
Mr. Fred added, “In early-November, we announced that Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., a subsidiary of United Technologies Corp. (“UTC”), awarded us its Supplier Gold status.  UTC’s Supplier Gold program recognizes superior performance in quality, delivery, lean manufacturing and customer satisfaction.  We are delighted to be a key supplier to Sikorsky.”
 

Reaffirms Guidance for 2010 & 2011; Provides Initial Guidance for 2012
 
Mr. Fred noted, “Based on results to date we are on track to reach our 2010 guidance which calls for revenue to be in the range of $49 million to $51 million, with resulting net income in the range of $4.6 million to $4.8 million.”
 
 

 
 
Mr. Fred concluded, “Now that our three major long-term production programs (A-10, E-2D and G650) are in full scale production, the programs should produce consistent significant revenue for 2011 and 2012.  For 2011 we continue to expect revenue to be in the range of $78 million to $81 million, with resulting net income in the range of $9.2 million to $9.5 million.  In addition, we currently estimate that for 2012 revenue should be in the range of $88 million to $91 million, with resulting net income in the range of $11 million to $12 million.”
