Management Comments

Butler National's fiscal first quarter ended July 31, 2024 continued the positive results and focus on internal growth. Company earnings for the quarter were $ 0.03 per share. Revenue increased 15% to $19.8 million in the three months ended July 31, 2024, as compared to $17.2 million in the three months ended July 31, 2023. The revenue increase reflects a jump of 30% in Aerospace Products revenue and an increase of 2% in Professional Services revenue. Our Aerospace Products representatives continue to work globally to develop new relationships and expand existing contracts that result in aircraft modification opportunities. Many opportunities result in program efforts for new Federal Aviation Administration supplemental type certificate approvals ("STCs"). Sports wagering highlighted the Professional Services segment with $1.0 million of quarterly revenue.

First quarter fiscal 2025 net income was $2.2 million compared to a net income of $719,000 in the first quarter fiscal 2024. First quarter fiscal 2025 operating income was $3.5 million compared to $1.1 million in first quarter fiscal 2024. We continue to recruit new employees at the New Century facility to scale-up operations and have incurred additional wage expenses in an effort to remain competitive in a tight labor market. We also continue to review operational processes and methods to control general and administrative expenses.

During the three months ended July 31, 2024, we invested approximately $609,000 in the development of new STC's. This expenditure for design and development engineering, testing, and certification of new products is necessary to remain competitive and adapt for technology changes for Aerospace Products. STC development is essential to our long-term revenue and profits. Avcon continues development of and manufacturing for the King Air Cargo Door project. Long lead-time tooling and parts have lengthened the product schedule. 

We are pleased with the continued demand for Aerospace Products and the efforts by our team members with achieving the results. The $0.03 per share earnings are a result of normal production operations and reflects the impact of our focused internal training, increased raw material, costs and wage pressures. The New Century airplane structural modification completions are growing as planned and integrating well with the avionics demands of customers. Newton Kansas modifications continue to focus on new product development and FAA approvals.   From a production perspective, outstanding accolades go to the Tempe team for exceeding customer expectations and maintaining product deliveries ahead of schedule weeks ahead of customer schedule – we are very pleased with the continuing orders for gun controls and cabling.

As the fiscal year continues, we are maintaining new product development efforts and working diligently to expand "kit" availability for certain aircraft modifications.  Kits allow customers to complete field installations, a conservation of high-demand company employee resources and saving of transportation of airplanes to Kansas. We are addressing our parts fabrication growth requirements.  We are expanding KC Machine for its parts support, and looking at other alternatives to maintain our vertically integrated processes.  Opportunities are widespread for your Company right now.

From a backlog perspective, numbers remain robust. The backlog is at a record high of $38.2 million.  The relationship with our  Draft Kings contracted platform for online/interactive sports wagering for Kansans on behalf of the Kansas Lottery continues to be a significant revenue source for the Professional Services Segment. The DraftKings branded retail sportsbook in the Boot Hill Casino & Resort is first class operation adjacent to our traditional casino games. Our Boot Hill Casino Team continues to diligently promote tourism and player development to facilitate increased patronage. In summary, management and employees continue working on new products, new STCs, quality staffing, production and cost management.  Enhancing shareholder value remains a priority.

We invite shareholders to attend the October 30, 2024 annual shareholder meeting.
