Tel-Instrument Electronics Corp Announces Second Quarter Results For 2014 Fiscal Year and Receipt of $755k CRAFT Order
East Rutherford, NJ – November 13, 2013 – Tel-Instrument Electronics Corp (“TIC”) (NYSE MKT: TIK) announced today that second quarter revenues increased by 68% from the year ago period to $4,034,581. The Company recorded a net loss of $72,474 ($0.02 per share) compared to a net loss of $429,705 ($0.16 per share) in the year ago quarter. The Company’s gross margin in the latest quarter increased to $1,275,749 (32%) compared to $602,423 (25%) in the year ago quarter. Operating expenses for the quarter declined by 9% to $1,119,982 compared to the same period last year. This resulted in the Company’s operating profit increasing to $155,767. Non-operating expenses for the quarter totaled $217,381 which included a $67,345 charge for the change in the fair value of common stock warrants. As a result, the Company recorded a loss before taxes of $61,614.
The Company also announced receipt of a $755,580 order from Lockheed Martin for 21 AN/USM-708 (“CRAFT”) test sets to be used on the Joint Strike Fighter program. This order is scheduled to be completed during the current fiscal year ending March 31, 2014.
In commenting on the quarter and future prospects, Jeff O’Hara, the Company’s President and CEO, noted that: “the second quarter results reflect a further stabilization in the Company’s financial condition after an extremely difficult prior fiscal year. The Company did face some parts procurement issues on our CRAFT and older legacy products in the second quarter which negatively impacted both revenues and gross margins. The commencement of limited rate production on the Army TS-4530A program has allowed the Company to continue to work down payable balances and, more recently in the current quarter, to secure parts on a timelier basis. The Company is anticipating strong revenue and profitability growth for the balance of the fiscal year as a result of several large orders for our T-47G, T-47N, and AN/USM-708 test sets. The Company is also working to finalize the TS-4530A logistics documentation this month which is the last step required to be completed by the Company to request a full rate production release. We hope to secure U.S. Army approval in a reasonable time so as not to have a lag between the completion of the initial release and the commencement of full rate production.”
The Company’s Annual Shareholder Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, January 15, 2014. We look forward to seeing you there.
We encourage everyone to read our full results of operations contained in our Form 10-Q filed on November 13, 2013 at sec.gov.
