CEO Commentary

Fawad Maqbool, Founder & CEO, commented, “I am very pleased with our financial results this quarter, which included a one-time major event, as we successfully consolidated our two manufacturing and engineering facilities into one building during this quarter. We now have a fully operational expanded facility located in the Hauppauge Industrial Park, Long Island NY with excess capacity for growth. We regained full operational capabilities within four weeks after the move took place. During this quarter, we also welcomed some long-awaited new developments, including our new MMIC designs, and newly expanded product line, while also building the foundation for our new 5G system group, TGSS. Our AmpliTech Inc division, which designs and manufactures our low noise amplifier designs, delivering highly performant and reliable signal processing components, was complemented by our Satcom Systems division, Specialty Microwave. We recently debuted our new MMIC semiconductor designs, from our AGMDC division in Plano Texas, as well as our Spectrum Semiconductor Materials division in Silicon Valley. The two symbiotic groups will help us with the integrated circuit packaging for MMIC chips.

“Additionally, we plan to offer systems complete innovative true 5G O-RAN radios as well as the planning and optimization services necessary to complete all new 5G installations globally through TGSS, our recently created division. We believe these developments are expected to be incredibly accretive to our business since they provide a more extensive product suite as well as a larger distribution presence. I applaud our whole team’s ability to work cohesively to make this incremental progress and transform the Company from just an amplifier component supplier to a full-service organization with cutting-edge components, systems, and services. This is a big step towards industry recognition and sustained profitability.

Maqbool continued, “Having more comprehensive solutions in our AmpliTech Group product ecosystem, allows us to capture more of the market as evidenced by a 347% increase in revenue. Against this revenue, we also incurred higher costs this quarter due to rising material costs, R&D expenses related to MMIC design and testing, and marketing expenses related to roadshows. We also incurred one-time expenses due to our recent facility move and a one-time accounting reserve expense against an increase in inventory for our Spectrum division. We expect the rest of 2022 to pose some challenges given macroeconomic conditions. However, given our team’s excellent preparedness, we were able to foresee certain conditions and stock inventory in larger quantities, giving us a lower cost basis. Additionally, the domestic production of AmpliTech products allows us to manage our supply chain more efficiently. Backed by our growing product suite, ongoing product research, and improving financials as evident by our growing revenues and increasing profitability, we look forward to continuing to build the AmpliTech brand and keep on developing world-class solutions to solve challenging problems”.
