         CPS TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2018 RESULTS 

Norton, Massachusetts, October 31, 2018.  CPS Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ:CPSH) today announced revenues of $6.1 million and a net loss of $14 thousand for the quarter ended September 29, 2018.  This compares with revenues of $4.2 million and net income of $13 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2017. 

Revenues for the nine months ended September 29, 2018 were $15.5 million compared with revenues of $10.8 million for the corresponding period a year ago, an increase of 44%.  The net loss for the nine-month period in 2018 totaled $845 thousand compared with a net loss of $924 thousand for the first nine months of 2017.

Grant Bennett, President and CEO, commented, “A year ago we embarked on a strategy to become the dominant supplier of baseplates for high power modules.  This strategy involved aggressive pricing, two-year sourcing agreements and, in the case of one large European customer, assuming responsibility for the vendor plating their baseplates.  While these actions had the immediate impact of depressing margins and increasing our investment in working capital, our vision that this will lead to generating significant value in the future is reflected in our sales growth.  Forecasts by these major customers suggests that their demand will remain strong for the remainder of 2018 and 2019.”

Mr. Bennett continued, “We recently completed the second update of our five-year strategic plan. That process involved assessing the growth for current and potential markets and identifying pathways to achieve continued growth in market share.  We are confident that the actions which have flowed from this activity will lead to compounded double-digit growth rates together with increasing margins over the five-year period.” 

The Company will be hosting its third quarter conference call with investors at 4:30 PM today.  Those interested in participating in the conference call should dial:
