Insights

Air Industries Group's Q2 2024 results show promising improvement. Net sales increased by 2.8% year-over-year, but more importantly, gross profit surged by 22%. This led to a significant boost in gross margin from 16.4% to 19.5%, indicating enhanced operational efficiency.

The company's bottom line saw a remarkable turnaround, with net income reaching $298,000 ($0.09 per share) compared to a loss in the previous year. Adjusted EBITDA grew by 47% to $1,413,000, suggesting strong cash flow generation.

With a growing backlog of over $100 million and a book-to-bill ratio exceeding 1.20, Air Industries seems well-positioned for future growth. However, investors should monitor the increased total indebtedness of $24,939,000, up 7% from year-end 2023, to ensure it remains manageable.

Air Industries' investment in production efficiency and expanded manufacturing capabilities is a strategic move. The completion of rebuilding and modernizing three major equipment pieces at $1,000,000 demonstrates a commitment to enhancing operational performance.

The addition of solar panels at Sterling Engineering and a new Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) indicates a focus on both sustainability and precision manufacturing. These investments, coupled with the strong book-to-bill ratio, suggest the company is preparing for increased demand and higher production volumes.

However, the challenge lies in managing potential supply chain disruptions and raw material availability, as noted in their cautious outlook regarding order timing and delivery schedules. The company's ability to navigate these challenges will be important for capitalizing on its growing backlog.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain matters discussed in this press release are 'forward-looking statements' intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In particular, the Company's statements regarding trends in the marketplace, future revenues, earnings and Adjusted EBITDA, the ability to realize firm backlog and projected backlog, cost cutting measures, potential future results and acquisitions, are examples of such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the timing of projects due to variability in size, scope and duration, the inherent discrepancy in actual results from estimates, projections and forecasts made by management, regulatory delays, changes in government funding and budgets, and other factors, including general economic conditions, not within the Company's control. The factors discussed herein and expressed from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission could cause actual results and developments to be materially different from those expressed in or implied by such statements. The forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this press release and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update such forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, a Non-GAAP financial measure as defined by the SEC, as a supplemental profitability measure because management finds it useful to understand and evaluate results, excluding the impact of non-cash depreciation and amortization charges, stock based compensation expenses, and nonrecurring expenses and outlays, prior to consideration of the impact of other potential sources and uses of cash, such as working capital items. This calculation may differ in method of calculation from similarly titled measures used by other companies and may be different than the EBITDA calculation used by our lenders for purposes of determining compliance with our financial covenants. This Non-GAAP measure may have limitations when understanding performance as it excludes the financial impact of transactions such as interest expense necessary to conduct the Company’s business and therefore are not intended to be an alternative to financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company has not quantitatively reconciled its forward looking Adjusted EBITDA target to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because items such as amortization of stock-based compensation and interest expense, which are specific items that impact these measures, have not yet occurred, are out of the Company’s control, or cannot be predicted. For example, quantification of stock-based compensation is not possible as it requires inputs such as future grants and stock prices which are not currently ascertainable.
