Insights
Graham Corporation has shown impressive financial performance for fiscal 2024, recording substantial improvements across multiple key metrics. The
A particularly noteworthy achievement is the complete repayment of the company's debt, which decreases financial risk and may enhance future profitability. Furthermore, the operating profit margin increased to 3.7%, up from 0.8% the prior year, underscoring the company's improved operational management. For retail investors, these metrics illustrate a company on strong financial footing with an optimistic outlook.
However, investors should be cautious about the higher SG&A expenses, which rose to 18.1% of sales from 15.4% the previous year. These increased costs, attributed to higher performance-based compensation and ERP conversion costs, could impact future profitability if not managed effectively. Overall, the financial results are a positive signal for potential investors.
Graham's revenue growth of 18% to a record
The company's ability to secure a $13.5 million strategic investment from a major defense customer to enhance production capabilities further reinforces its strong market position and relationships within the defense industry. This investment not only supports current operations but also sets the stage for future growth, particularly in high-demand segments such as the U.S. Navy's shipbuilding program.
Nevertheless, the 37% decrease in the space market revenue should be noted. While this may be attributed to project timing and a customer's bankruptcy, it underscores the importance of diversification and risk management within the company's portfolio. Despite this, the robust order backlog of
Graham Corporation's strategic acquisition of P3 Technologies and its successful integration within the Barber-Nichols team is a significant milestone. The acquisition contributed
The implemented ERP system aimed at improving operational efficiency and productivity is another key highlight. While the ERP conversion costs are contributing to higher SG&A expenses, the long-term benefits of streamlined operations and better resource management are expected to outweigh the initial investments. This strategic move aligns with the company's broader goal of sustaining growth and profitability.
For retail investors, the focus on technological enhancements and strategic acquisitions indicates a forward-looking approach, aiming to build a more resilient and diversified business model. However, keeping an eye on how these investments translate into tangible operational improvements and cost savings will be crucial.

Thoren, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Over the past year, we achieved record revenue and orders, and enhanced profitability and cash flow management. This enabled continued investments in our operations and people, the acquisition of P3 Technologies, as well as the complete repayment of our debt.

Safe Harbor Regarding Forward Looking Statements
This news release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and are identified by words such as “expects,” “future,” “outlook,” “looking ahead,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “guidance,” “should,” ”may”, “will,” “plan” and other similar words. All statements addressing operating performance, events, or developments that Graham Corporation expects or anticipates will occur in the future, including but not limited to, profitability of future projects and the business, its ability to deliver to plan, its ability to continue to strengthen relationships with customers in the defense industry, its ability to secure future projects and applications, expected expansion and growth opportunities, anticipated sales, revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margins, capital expenditures and SG&A expenses, the timing of conversion of backlog to sales, orders, market presence, profit margins, tax rates, foreign sales operations, customer preferences, changes in market conditions in the industries in which it operates, changes in general economic conditions and customer behavior, forecasts regarding the timing and scope of the economic recovery in its markets, and its acquisition and growth strategy, are forward-looking statements. Because they are forward-looking, they should be evaluated in light of important risk factors and uncertainties. These risk factors and uncertainties are more fully described in Graham Corporation’s most recent Annual Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), included under the heading entitled “Risk Factors”, and in other reports filed with the SEC.
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should any of Graham Corporation’s underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those currently anticipated. In addition, undue reliance should not be placed on Graham Corporation’s forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, Graham Corporation disclaims any obligation to update or publicly announce any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained in this news release.
Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Measures
Forward-looking adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP measures. The Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures because such information is not available, and management cannot reliably predict the necessary components of such GAAP measures without unreasonable effort largely because forecasting or predicting our future operating results is subject to many factors out of our control or not readily predictable. In addition, the Company believes that such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company’s fiscal 2024 financial results. These non-GAAP financial measures are preliminary estimates and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, among others, changes in connection with purchase accounting, quarter-end, and year-end adjustments. Any variation between the Company’s actual results and preliminary financial estimates set forth above may be material.
Key Performance Indicators
In addition to the foregoing non-GAAP measures, management uses the following key performance metrics to analyze and measure the Company’s financial performance and results of operations: orders, backlog, and book-to-bill ratio. Management uses orders and backlog as measures of current and future business and financial performance, and these may not be comparable with measures provided by other companies. Orders represent written communications received from customers requesting the Company to provide products and/or services. Backlog is defined as the total dollar value of net orders received for which revenue has not yet been recognized. Management believes tracking orders and backlog are useful as they often times are leading indicators of future performance. In accordance with industry practice, contracts may include provisions for cancellation, termination, or suspension at the discretion of the customer.
The book-to-bill ratio is an operational measure that management uses to track the growth prospects of the Company. The Company calculates the book-to-bill ratio for a given period as net orders divided by net sales.
Given that each of orders, backlog, and book-to-bill ratio are operational measures and that the Company's methodology for calculating orders, backlog and book-to-bill ratio does not meet the definition of a non-GAAP measure, as that term is defined by the

* Acquisition and Integration Costs are incremental costs that are directly related to the BN and P3 acquisitions. These costs may include, among other things, professional, consulting and other fees, system integration costs, and fair value adjustments relating to contingent consideration. Debt Amendment Costs consists of accelerated write-offs of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs and discounts, prepayment penalties and attorney fees in connection with the amendment of our credit facility. The Employee Retention Tax Credit (“ERC”) reflects payroll tax amounts expected to be recovered due to COVID-19 relief programs and is not expected to recur in the future. ERP Implementation Costs relate to consulting costs incurred in connection with the new ERP system being implemented throughout our
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income (loss) before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, other acquisition related expenses, and other unusual/nonrecurring expenses. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in
Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share are defined as net income and net income per diluted share as reported, adjusted for certain items and at a normalized tax rate. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share are not measures determined in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to the measures as used by other companies. Nevertheless, Graham believes that providing non-GAAP information, such as adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share, is important for investors and other readers of the Company’s financial statements and assists in understanding the comparison of the current quarter’s and current fiscal year's net income and net income per diluted share to the historical periods' net income and net income per diluted share. Graham also believes that adjusted net income per share, which adds back intangible amortization expense related to acquisitions, provides a better representation of the cash earnings of the Company.
