Edgewood, NY – May 4, 2011CPI Aerostructures, Inc. (“CPI Aero®”) (NYSE Amex: CVU) today announced results for the 2011 first quarter ended March 31, 2011.

First Quarter 2011 vs. 2010
·  
Revenue increased 45% to $16,009,608 from $11,005,529;
·  
Gross margin was 24%, compared to 25%;
·  
Pretax income increased 54% to $2,012,050, compared to $1,303,815;
·  
Net income increased 59% to $1,368,050, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared to $860,815, or $0.14 per diluted share*; and,
·  
Unawarded solicitations remain at a high level with open solicitations as of March 31, 2011  totaling a maximum realizable value of approximately $499 million.

 
* Diluted earnings per share for the current first quarter were calculated on 15.7% more shares than in the prior year period due to the Company’s 500,000 share public offering completed in April 2010.

Edward J. Fred, CPI Aero’s President & CEO, stated, “We started 2011 on a strong note with revenue and net income increasing by 45% and 59%, respectively, compared to the first quarter of 2010.  In addition, revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 made the current quarter our best ever quarter in terms of revenue.  The increase in revenue is primarily due to work performed for the Boeing Company on the A-10 attack jet and for Northrop Grumman Corporation on the E-2D surveillance airplane.”

Mr. Fred continued, “As of April 22, 2011, new contract awards totaled $46.8 million, which included $8.0 million of government prime contract awards, $12.7 million of government subcontract awards and $26.1 million of commercial subcontract awards, compared to a total of $8.1 million of new contract awards, of all types, in the same period last year.

“The most important orders we received since the beginning of the year are as follows:
 
•  
A $17.7 million long-term contract for structural assemblies and kits to be supplied to Sikorsky Aircraft Corp.  The contract includes seventeen different deliverable items for the S-92 helicopter.
 
 
•  
A $7.9 million order from the U.S. Air Force for a variety of spoilers and wing tips under our C-5 TOP contract.  Orders under this program have totaled $44.9 million since the inception of the contract.
 
 
•  
A $7.5 million order from Northrop Grumman under a previously awarded purchase order for Outer Wing Panel (OWP) Kits for use in the manufacture of complete wings for the E-2D Hawkeye and the C-2A Greyhound aircraft.  Since June 2008, when CPI Aero began work on OWP Kits, orders totaled approximately $31.8 million.
 
 
•  
An initial purchase order from our new customer, Bell Helicopter for the manufacture of various structural panel assemblies for the AH-1Z ZULU attack helicopter.  While the initial order requirement is small, it should lead to more sizable orders as the aircraft transitions to full scale production.”
 
Mr. Fred added, “We look forward to additional orders from existing contracts as well as from the unawarded solicitations of approximately $499 million on which we have bid.”

Affirms Long-Term Guidance
Mr. Fred concluded, “We are once again confirming our 2011 guidance which calls for revenue to be in the range of $78 million to $81 million, a 77% to 84% increase over 2010, primarily due to increased work on our three major long-term programs: A-10, E-2D and G650.  Net income for 2011 is expected to be in the range of $9.2 million to $9.5 million.  Our gross margin for the year should be in the range of 25% to 27%.  In addition, we continue to expect that for 2012, revenue should be in the range of $88 million to $91 million, with resulting net income of between $11 million and $12 million.”
