$359,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 versus the third quarter of fiscal 2021 primarily due to transaction-related expenses associated with the share exchange agreement with BitNile Holdings, Inc and Gresham Worldwide, Inc. - Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was (
$795,000) or ($0.29) per basic share compared to net income of$830,000 or$0.33 per basic share in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 primarily due to lower net revenue coupled with transaction costs of$402,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2022.

- Net revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 was
$7.6 million , a26% decrease as compared to$10.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2021.- Microsource reported an increase of
$245,000 in revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2021 primarily due to an increase in the production of YIG filters with the addition of a third production test station. - RADAR/EW test revenue was
$512,000 during the first nine months of fiscal 2022 as compared to$3.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2021. During the first nine months of 2022 the Giga-tronics division did not receive certain large anticipated military orders which have long approval and processing cycles.
- Microsource reported an increase of
- Gross profit decreased by
$1.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 to$2.9 million from$4.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2021 primarily due to lower revenues and product mix with lower revenue contributed by the typically higher margin RADAR/EW test products compared to the prior year. - Operating expenses decreased by
$82,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 to$4.3 million from$4.4 million primarily due to lower engineering expenses in the first nine months of fiscal 2022, including lower personnel costs, increased capitalization of software engineering expenses, lower consulting costs and non-recurring engineering expenses for contract services that are allocated to cost of revenue and are credited to engineering expenses, which was substantially offset by the$402,000 of transaction related costs in fiscal 2022. - Net loss for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 was (
$1.6 million ), compared to net income of$425,000 recorded in the first nine months of fiscal 2021. The net loss was primarily due to the decrease in net revenue for the Giga-tronics division along with transaction related costs in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 and a one-time gain on the extinguishment of the PPP loan in the first nine months of fiscal 2021, as described above. - Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of
$(582,000) in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 compared to Adjusted EBITDA of$131,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2021.
John Regazzi, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said, “We experienced constrained order and shipment activity during the third quarter of fiscal 2022 in both our microwave filter and our RADAR/EW business units. Our business works primarily with the military, and we are subject to procurement timelines set by independent contracting organizations within the Defense Department, making the procurement process less predictable. Additionally, the resurgence of COVID-19 caused unplanned staff shortages at many of the independent contracting agencies and compelled many of the acquisition organizations and their staffs to work remotely, which slowed the evaluation, review and approval processes, resulting in delays of contract awards. While we are disappointed in the booking activity to date in fiscal 2022, as the virus appears to be again receding, we are optimistic that we will benefit when contract award activity resumes at a more regular cadence.”
Lutz Henckels, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer stated, “Our third quarter fiscal 2022 results are very disappointing and were primarily driven by the slowdown in new orders. Orders for both our Microsource sole source filter business and our RADAR/ EW test business tend to be large and sporadic so their timing can have a significant impact on our results from quarter to quarter and last year’s third quarter saw particularly strong order activity.”
“We remain optimistic about the long-term prospects for our business and are excited about our pending combination with Gresham Worldwide, Inc.”, Mr. Henckels continued, “Gresham’s operations are expected to complement Giga’s, allowing us to accelerate our efforts to grow by focusing on three very attractive end markets: Electronic Warfare, RF Solutions and Filters and Power conversion as well as by adding scale, production capacity, engineering, R&D expertise and enhanced global reach. We anticipate that the combined company will generate more than
