Mitchell Binder, President and CEO of Orbit International Corp. commented, “The completion of our audit for the year ended December 31, 2022, was delayed as additional time was needed by the Company to complete the purchase price allocation of the net assets acquired and corresponding ending inventory of our recently acquired SPS subsidiary. As a result, our financial statement audit and the filing of our 2022 Annual Report with the OTC Market was also delayed. On May 16, 2023, our stock was moved from the OTC Pink Market to the OTC Expert Market, an illiquid market. Our audit is now complete, and we have also recently filed our 2022 Annual Report on March 11, 2024 with the OTC Market. Consequently, we are moving toward reinstatement onto the OTC Pink Market.”
Binder added, “Our net income for the year ended December 31, 2022, was
Mr. Binder added, “Our sales for the year ended December 31, 2022, increased to
Mr. Binder further added, “Our gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2022, exclusive of adjustments to SPS’ work in process and finished goods under FVA, decreased to
Mr. Binder added, “Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased from the prior year comparable period, primarily due to the addition of expenses from SPS and slightly higher corporate costs. Selling expenses at SPS included the hiring during the second quarter of two highly experienced sales personnel who have begun to make a material impact on bookings for SPS. In addition to increased SPS and corporate costs, selling, general and administrative expenses increased due to higher selling expenses and wage inflation.”
Mr. Binder continued, “Backlog at December 31, 2022, was approximately
David Goldman, Chief Financial Officer, noted, “At December 31, 2022, our cash and cash equivalents aggregated approximately
Mr. Binder added, “Because our revenues are tied to delivery schedules specified in our contracts, it is often difficult to judge our performance on a quarterly basis. Our operating results for 2022 began with very firm operating results for the first quarter, followed by weaker than expected second and third quarter results and a relatively stronger operating performance in the fourth quarter. Our second and third quarter results were affected by reduced revenues from our legacy businesses and higher labor costs at SPS. This all resulted in operating performance for 2022 that was less than expected.
Mr. Binder concluded, “During the second quarter of 2021, based on our improved outlook for our business regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and stability of our financial condition, our Board of Directors authorized the Company to recommence our share repurchase program and in March 2022, our Board of Directors authorized the Company to recommence our quarterly dividend program. However, as a result of our stock being moved to the OTC Expert Market on May 16, 2023, our Board moved to suspend our repurchase program until the Company is reinstated onto the OTC Pink Market. Through May 15, 2023, we have purchased approximately 188,185 shares under the program.”

(1) The EBITDA (as adjusted) tables presented are not determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Management uses EBITDA (as adjusted) to evaluate the operating performance of its business. It is also used, at times, by some investors, securities analysts and others to evaluate companies and make informed business decisions. EBITDA (as adjusted) is also a useful indicator of the income generated to service debt. EBITDA (as adjusted) is not a complete measure of an entity's profitability because it does not include costs and expenses for interest, depreciation and amortization, income taxes, fair value adj.-contingent liabilities and other non-current liability and stock-based compensation. EBITDA (as adjusted) as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly named measures reported by other companies.
