NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / June 17, 2024 / IEH Corporation (OTC:IEHC) today filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.

For the Fiscal Year ended March 31, 2024, IEH had revenues of $21,524,544 as compared to $19,136,890 for the Fiscal Year ended March 31, 2023 reflecting a 12.5% increase; an operating loss of $3,760,887 for Fiscal Year 2024 as compared to an operating loss of $5,812,812 for Fiscal Year 2023 reflecting a 35% decrease; a net loss of $2,916,902 for Fiscal Year 2024 as compared to a net loss of $6,502,924 for Fiscal Year 2023 reflecting a 55% decrease; and a basic loss per share of $1.23 as compared to a basic loss per share of $2.74 for Fiscal Year 2023.

Dave Offerman, President and CEO of IEH Corporation commented, "With an increase in revenue and marked decreases in both operating and net losses, our recovery from the nadir of the prior two fiscal years proceeds apace. Our revenue rose in each successive quarter this past fiscal year, culminating in 4^th quarter revenue of $6.926M, which represented a 30% increase over the 4^th quarter of Fiscal Year 2023 and our highest quarter of the past 13. Our cost of goods sold in the 4^th quarter of fiscal year 2024 fell 17% compared to the 4^th quarter of the prior year, and our gross profit nearly tripled, from $471,395 in the 4^th quarter of Fiscal Year 2023 to $1,283,937 in the 4^th quarter of fiscal year 2024. Similarly, our net operating loss plummeted by 67%, from a loss of over $1.3M in last fiscal year's 4th quarter to a loss of just over $425,000 in this fiscal year's 4th quarter.

So while this past fiscal year was not profitable, the trajectory of our recovery is clear. Moving forward, our backlog today is 29% higher than it was in April of 2023, and is more than double its April 2022 low. Further, forecasts in the primary markets we serve, defense and commercial aerospace, continue to trend positively. Cost management challenges remain in the near term, but the company continues to implement price initiatives to offset these pressures. So while improvements may be spotty from one quarter to the next as is common in our industry, long-term developments are overwhelmingly positive for IEH. I look forward to sharing more detail in our Annual Report.

On behalf of the management team and staff of IEH, we again wish to express our sincere gratitude for the support of our valued shareholders. We look forward to sharing more news in the coming months and quarters."
