Management Comments

Butler National's second fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2024 continued the trend of positive results. Company earnings were $ 0.05 per share for the three months ended October 31, 2024 compared to $0.07 per share for the three months ended October 31, 2023. The October 31, 2023 earnings per share were positively impacted by a $3.7 million gain on the sale of an airplane. Revenue increased 9% to $21.4 million in the three months ended October 31, 2024, as compared to $19.6 million in the three months ended October 31, 2023. The revenue increase reflects a surge of 19% in Aerospace Products revenue and a decrease of 1% in Professional Services revenue. The Tempe, Arizona Special Mission Electronics operations and deliveries continue to be a significant driver of the robust results along with the Aircraft Modification production efforts. Sports wagering activity enhanced the Professional Services segment with $1.4 million of quarterly revenue.

Second quarter fiscal 2025 net income was $3.6 million compared to a net income of $5.0 million in the second quarter fiscal 2024. Second quarter fiscal 2025 operating income was $4.9 million compared to $3.6 million in second quarter fiscal 2024. We note that fluctuations may occur from quarter to quarter due to the significant length and nature of Aircraft Modification projects. 

During the three months ended October 31, 2024, we invested approximately $573,000 in the development of new FAA STC approvals. This expenditure includes engineering, testing, and certification of new products on airplanes, an essential function of the Aircraft Modification business to accommodate the constantly evolving sensor market. 

The $0.05 per share earnings reflect significant work efforts by team members of each business segment. The results of the Tempe Special Mission Electronics team continues to be outstanding. We are exploring organic growth opportunities with our Tempe electronics assembly operations, an ITAR-compliant facility. The Avcon Aircraft Modification crew at New Century delivered a two-plus year project that included the Avcon Pod, Avcon rails, and the Garmin G1000 avionics suite. The Avcon team also completed a King Air installation of fuselage rail mounts and a satellite communication radome. The Newton-based Aircraft Modifications continues to be certification-centric focused on development of the new product offerings.

Company backlog remains robust at $38.1 million. Our contracted Draft Kings platform for online/interactive sports wagering for Kansans on behalf of the Kansas Lottery continues to enhance Professional Services Segment revenue. Our Boot Hill Casino team continues to focus on strategic marketing and costs.
