Management Comments

Butler National's 12% revenue growth compared to the same quarter last year highlights the positive results for the third fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2025.  Company earnings for the quarter were $ 0.05 per share. Revenue increased to $21.2 million in the three months ended January 31, 2025, as compared to $19.0 million in the three months ended January 31, 2024. The revenue increase reflects a jump of 25% in Aerospace Products revenue and a decrease of 1% in Professional Services revenue. Material contributors to the overall positive results were: 1) Aircraft Modification productivity enhancements and aircraft deliveries; 2) Sports wagering activity; 3) Gun control deliveries; and 4) Refocus of the Butler Avionics business.  Details of these operations are provided below.

Third quarter fiscal 2025 net income was $3.4 million compared to a net income of $2.4 million in the third quarter fiscal 2024. Third quarter fiscal 2025 operating income was $4.0 million compared to $3.8 million in third quarter fiscal 2024. While we continue to focus on efficiencies in the Aircraft Modifications segment, fluctuations may occur from quarter to quarter due to the significant length and nature of the typical Aircraft Modification projects. 

During the three months ended January 31, 2025, we invested approximately $864 thousand 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. 

The $0.05 per share earnings this quarter was achieved despite the seasonal impacts of business closures due to the holidays and severe winter weather experienced across Kansas in December and January.  The results reflect significant efforts by team members of each business segment. The Avcon team worked diligently through the holidays to complete engineering tasks and deliver airplanes. The Avcon team completed multiple complex airplane integrations and acquired foreign regulatory approvals involving Avcon Rails and Pods during the past quarter.  Activities continue with respect to the King Air cargo door modification with the cutting of the expanded door hole in the fuselage and the acquisition of parts for the door and structure assembly.  The cargo door modification and certification project remains a top Avcon priority.  We continue to evolve Avcon operations and refocus the New Century-located avionics business to enhance margins.  The avionics focus is repetitive installation projects. Additionally, we sold the legacy JET autopilot product repair business on January 30, 2025.  The divestiture had two positive results: An enhancement of the profitability for the avionics business long term, and a one-time gain for the sale transaction in the amount of $1.04 million. Special Mission Electronics gun control unit deliveries dropped for the quarter due to parts shortages that are being remedied. The gun control backlog remained strong. Company backlog remains robust at $35.2 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 concentrate on increasing patron visitation while maximizing the impact of marketing expenses and effectively controlling costs. 

Business Segment Highlights

Aerospace Products:

Revenue increased 25% to $11.4 million in the three months ended January 31, 2025, compared to $9.0 million in the three months ended January 31, 2024. The increase in revenue is primarily due to a $2.7 million increase in Aircraft Modification business that offset the decrease in Special Mission Electronics business of $422 thousand compared to the same quarter last year. Costs increased by 41% in the three months ended January 31, 2025, to $8.3 million compared to $5.9 million for the three months ended January 31, 2024. Costs were 73% of segment total revenue in the three months ended January 31, 2025, compared to 66% of segment total revenue in the three months ended January 31, 2024. Expenses remained flat in the three months ended January 31, 2025, at $1.5 million compared to the three months ended January 31, 2024. Expenses were 13% of segment total revenue in the three months ended January 31, 2025, as compared to 16% of segment total revenue in the three months ended January 31, 2024.  There was operating income from Aerospace Products of $1.6 million in the three months ended January 31, 2025, that remained flat compared to the three months ended January 31, 2024. 

Professional Services:

Revenue decreased 1% for the three months ended January 31, 2025, to $9.8 million compared to $9.9 million in the three months ended January 31, 2024. The decrease is due to a decline in traditional gaming revenue of $474 thousand partially offset by an increase in sports wagering revenue of $381 thousand. Costs remained constant in the three months ended January 31, 2025, at $4.0 million compared to the three months ended January 31, 2024. Expenses decreased 12% in the three months ended January 31, 2025, to $3.3 million compared to $3.7 million in the three months ended January 31, 2024. Expenses were 34% of segment total revenue in the three months ended January 31, 2025, as compared to 38% of segment total revenue in the three months ended January 31, 2024. There was an operating income of $2.5 million in the three months ended January 31, 2025, compared to an operating income of $2.2 million in the three months ended January 31, 2024. Two weekend winter storms adversely impacted the Boot Hill Casino patronage and the financial results for the quarter.

Costs related to Professional Services and Aerospace Products include the cost of engineering, labor, materials, equipment utilization, control systems, security and occupancy. Expenses related to Professional Services and Aerospace Products include marketing and advertising, employee benefits, depreciation and amortization, and general, administrative and other expenses. With the expansion of Avcon (Aircraft Modification), the expedited need for parts and outsourcing continues to drive costs. The expansion of the Avcon fabrication shop and building acquisition should reduce the costs of outsourcing long term.

Backlog:
As of January 31, 2025, our backlog totaled approximately $35.2 million. The backlog includes firm, pending, and contract orders, which may not be completed within the next fiscal year. There can be no assurance that all orders will be completed or that some may ever commence.

The Aerospace Products segment includes the manufacture, sale and service of electronic equipment and modifications to aircraft structures and electrical systems to support special mission and commercial aviation operations.
