Mitchell Binder, President and CEO of Orbit International, commented, “Our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was
Binder added, “Our current third quarter operating results were positively affected by the results from SPS but were partially offset by lower operating income at our Orbit Instrument division. Operating income at our Orbit Instrument division, reflected lower sales and gross margins during the quarter. Gross margins were affected by lower sales and product mix as well as the previously noted engineering deliverables made during the prior year comparable period. Our Orbit Instrument division has historically been our best performing operating unit with great operating leverage. The Orbit Power Group (“OPG”), which makes up the remainder of our legacy business, recorded slightly improved operating results during the quarter in comparison to the prior year comparable period. The improved operating results of SPS during the current quarter were attributable to higher sales and improved gross margins. General and administrative costs have stabilized for the quarter, as we incurred significant infrastructure costs to support the increase in sales and bookings from 2023 as well as the increase in sales expected for 2024. At the time of the SPS acquisition in January 2022, we anticipated the need to invest in infrastructure and internal controls in order to bring SPS up to the standards of a public company. We believe that our cost structure at SPS is now aligned to support our growth.”
Mr. Binder added, “Our sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, increased to
Mr. Binder further added, “Our gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, increased to
Mr. Binder added, “Our improved operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, were adversely affected by higher selling, general and administrative expenses in the current period. For the current nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the prior comparable period, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by
Mr. Binder continued, “Backlog at September 30, 2024, was approximately
David Goldman, Chief Financial Officer, noted, “At September 30, 2024, 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 the first nine months of 2024 reflect an improvement from our weak operating results in the comparable period of the prior year. These results reflect an increase in operating income from SPS due to an increase in sales and gross profit and despite an increase in infrastructure costs, as well as an increase from our OPG due to an increase in sales. However, despite the improvement from SPS and our OPG, our operating results were negatively impacted by lower sales from our Orbit Instrument division, which negatively impacted operating results for the nine-month period. This was primarily the result of weak bookings in the first half of 2023.Bookings from this division improved in the second half of 2023 and into 2024. However, this division is again experiencing contract delays for follow-on business that was expected in the third and fourth quarter of 2024. As previously mentioned, our Orbit Instrument division has historically been our most profitable operating unit. Furthermore, for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024, as previously reported, we reported a very strong start to the 2024 year with consolidated bookings of approximately
Mr. Binder concluded, “As a result of our stock being moved to the OTC Expert Market on May 16, 2023, our Board moved to suspend our existing repurchase program until the Company is reinstated onto the OTC Pink Market. On March 11, 2024, we filed our 2022 Annual Report with the OTC and filed our 2023 Annual Report on April 16, 2024. On October 4, 2024, we were reinstated by FINRA, and are again trading on the OTC Pink Market. However, our Board of Directors has not yet determined to reinstate our buyback program. Through May 15, 2023, we had purchased approximately 188,185 shares under the existing program.”
