Insights

CPS Technologies' Q2 2024 results reveal significant challenges, with revenue dropping to $5.0 million from $7.4 million year-over-year. The gross margin plummeted to -4.6% from 29.6%, resulting in an operating loss of $1.3 million compared to a $0.7 million profit last year. This stark decline is primarily attributed to the completion of the HybridTech Armor® contract with Kinetic Protection for the US Navy.

While the contract's end was anticipated, its impact on financials is severe. The company's ability to replace this revenue stream quickly is crucial. The negative gross margin is particularly concerning, indicating inefficiencies in production and the burden of fixed costs on lower revenue. This suggests that CPS may need to reassess its cost structure and production processes to remain viable at lower revenue levels.

On a positive note, the recent SBIR Phase II award, valued at over $1 million, provides some revenue visibility and validates the company's R&D efforts. However, investors should be cautious as the transition from R&D to commercial products can be lengthy and uncertain. The company's focus on expanding its product development pipeline is strategically sound but may not yield immediate financial benefits.

Overall, CPS Technologies faces a critical period of transition. Its ability to commercialize new technologies and secure new contracts will be vital for its financial recovery and long-term growth prospects.

CPS Technologies' focus on advanced materials, particularly metal matrix composites (MMCs), positions them at the forefront of critical defense and energy applications. The company's work on thermal energy storage for long-range missile capabilities demonstrates the strategic importance of their research. This aligns with the growing demand for high-performance materials in defense and aerospace sectors.

The development of fiber reinforced aluminum (FRA) and lightweight radiation shielding materials further showcases CPS's innovative capabilities. These materials have potential applications beyond defense, including in the rapidly growing electric vehicle and renewable energy markets. The company's expertise in hermetic packaging for aerospace and satellite applications also provides diversification opportunities.

However, the transition from research to commercialization is a significant challenge in the materials science field. The negative gross margin in Q2 suggests difficulties in scaling production efficiently for new products. This is not uncommon in the advanced materials sector but needs to be addressed promptly.

The company's future success will depend on its ability to optimize production processes for new materials and effectively market their unique properties to potential customers across various industries. The recent SBIR Phase II award is a positive indicator of the government's interest in CPS's technologies, but commercial adoption will be key to long-term financial stability.

Performance Impacted by Contract Completion as Company Focuses on New Business Development

NORTON, Mass., July 31, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CPS Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ:CPSH) (“CPS” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended June 29, 2024.

Second Quarter Summary

  • Revenue of $5.0 million for the second quarter of 2024 versus $7.4 million in the prior-year period, reflecting lower overall shipments due to the end of the Company’s HybridTech Armor® contract with Kinetic Protection for the US Navy
  • Gross margin of (4.6) percent versus 29.6 percent in the second quarter of 2023, largely reflecting lower manufacturing efficiencies and impact of fixed costs on lower revenue.
  • Operating loss of $1.3 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2024 compared to an operating profit of $0.7 million in the prior-year period
  • The Company’s recent SBIR Phase II award and ongoing product development initiatives in response to customer requirements point to accelerating wins heading into fiscal 2025

“This quarter’s results reflect the previously-announced completion of our HybridTech® Armor contract with Kinetic Protection, as the Navy’s current needs have been fulfilled after many quarters of delivering our state-of-the-art panels to provide ballistic protection for the U.S. Navy’s fleet of aircraft carriers,” said Brian Mackey, President and CEO. “While this near-term headwind has been well known for quite some time, it does not lessen the impact it has had on our overall performance. Despite the current operating environment, our growth path going forward will be augmented by the continued expansion of our product development pipeline.

“Notably, our latest SBIR contract from the U.S. Navy Air Systems Command, valued at over $1 million, will enable us to continue to develop our novel metal matrix composites for thermal energy storage applications. Our MMCs have been shown to provide cutting-edge thermal energy storage, which supports long-range missile strike capability for the Navy. Potential applications include avionics, weapons, and high-pulse power modules. This new program, along with ongoing efforts to address our customer’s pressing technical challenges, with materials such as fiber reinforced aluminum, or “FRA”, and lightweight radiation shielding material, will continue to enhance company value. Our new Phase II contract, the company’s first in many years, clearly underscores not only our unique capabilities but the successful execution of a long-term growth strategy through expanded product development that addresses critical customer requirements.”

Results of Operations
CPS reported revenue of $5.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 versus $7.4 million in the prior-year period, reflecting the completion of the Company’s HybridTech Armor® contract with Kinetic Protection, the prime contractor for the US Navy. Gross loss was $0.2 million, or (4.6) percent of revenue, versus a gross profit of $2.2 million, or 29.6 percent of revenue, in the fiscal 2023 second quarter, with the negative variance year-over-year due to the impact of fixed costs on lower overall revenue and reduced production efficiencies due to new product launches.

The Company reported an operating loss of $1.3 million in the fiscal 2024 second quarter compared with an operating profit of $0.7 million in the prior-year period. Reported net loss was $1.0 million, or $(0.07) per diluted share, versus net income of $0.6 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the quarter ended July 1, 2023.
