Investing to Drive Higher Growth as the Year Progresses
NORTON, Mass., May 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CPS Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ:CPSH) (“CPS” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the fiscal first quarter ended March 30, 2024.
First Quarter Summary
- Revenue of
$5.9 million for the first quarter of 2024 versus$7.1 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to further quality control testing and production staffing challenges - Gross margin of 15.3 percent versus 31.6 percent in the first quarter of 2023, largely due to lower manufacturing efficiencies and non-revenue producing quality control costs
- Operating loss of
$0.3 million for the quarter ended March 30, 2024 compared to an operating profit of$0.7 million in the prior-year period - The Company announced the signing of a manufacturing license agreement with Triton Systems for Fiber-Reinforced Aluminum (FRA) Composites® to address key customer requirements through the expansion of its product portfolio

The Company’s order intake is increasing across its other product lines, our recent technology license agreement with Triton is expected to provide new avenues for expansion, and ongoing R&D is addressing critical customer requirements. In addition, we are working with Kinetic Protection on the very real opportunities for additional armor orders with the Navy. The current fiscal year is clearly focused on preparing CPS for its next phase of growth, encompassing all key markets, as well as business development initiatives to accelerate contract bookings and revenue generation.
“Our R&D efforts enable us to directly address clearly defined market requirements. For example, last week we presented our initial results from a recently completed Phase I SBIR at the National Reactor Innovation Center Program Review at Idaho National Lab.
