TechPrecision reported financial results for Q1 FY2025. Revenue increased 8% year-over-year to $8.0 million, driven by higher contract values at Stadco. However, the company faced challenges with Stadco incurring a $1.3 million operating loss due to the terminated Votaw Precision Manufacturing acquisition and delayed machinery maintenance. Gross profit decreased 66% due to higher production costs. The company's backlog stands at $41.2 million, expected to be delivered over the next one to three fiscal years. Working capital was negative $1.7 million, with total debt at $7.5 million as of June 30, 2024.

TechPrecision ha riportato i risultati finanziari per il primo trimestre dell'anno fiscale 2025. I ricavi sono aumentati dell'8% rispetto all'anno precedente, raggiungendo 8,0 milioni di dollari, grazie ai maggiori valori contrattuali con Stadco. Tuttavia, l'azienda ha affrontato delle difficoltà, con Stadco che ha registrato una perdita operativa di 1,3 milioni di dollari a causa della acquisizione interrotta di Votaw Precision Manufacturing e dei ritardi nella manutenzione delle attrezzature. Il profitto lordo è diminuito del 66% a causa dei costi di produzione più elevati. L'azienda ha un portafoglio ordini di 41,2 milioni di dollari, che si prevede vengano consegnati nei prossimi uno-tre anni fiscali. Il capitale circolante era negativo per 1,7 milioni di dollari, con un debito totale di 7,5 milioni di dollari al 30 giugno 2024.

TechPrecision reportó los resultados financieros para el primer trimestre del año fiscal 2025. Los ingresos aumentaron un 8% interanual, alcanzando $8.0 millones, impulsados por mayores valores contractuales con Stadco. Sin embargo, la empresa enfrentó desafíos, ya que Stadco incurrió en una pérdida operativa de $1.3 millones debido a la adquisición cancelada de Votaw Precision Manufacturing y el retraso en el mantenimiento de maquinaria. La ganancia bruta disminuyó un 66% debido a mayores costos de producción. La cartera de pedidos de la empresa asciende a $41.2 millones, que se espera entregar en los próximos uno a tres años fiscales. El capital de trabajo fue negativo en $1.7 millones, con una deuda total de $7.5 millones al 30 de junio de 2024.

TechPrecision는 2025 회계연도 1분기 재무 결과를 발표했습니다. 수익은 전년 대비 8% 증가하여 800만 달러에 달했으며, 이는 Stadco의 계약 금액 증가에 기인합니다. 그러나 이 회사는 Votaw Precision Manufacturing 인수 취소와 기계 유지보수 지연으로 인해 Stadco가 130만 달러의 운영 손실을 입어 어려움을 겪었습니다. 총 이익은 생산 비용 상승으로 인해 66% 감소했습니다. 회사의 수주 잔고는 4120만 달러에 달하며, 다음 1~3 회계 연도에 걸쳐 배송될 예정입니다. 운전 자본은 -170만 달러로 부정적이며, 2024년 6월 30일 기준 총 부채는 750만 달러입니다.

TechPrecision hat die Finanzzahlen für das erste Quartal des Geschäftsjahres 2025 veröffentlicht. Der Umsatz stieg um 8 % im Jahresvergleich auf 8,0 Millionen Dollar, angetrieben durch höhere Vertragswerte bei Stadco. Das Unternehmen sah sich jedoch Herausforderungen gegenüber, da Stadco einen Betriebsverlust von 1,3 Millionen Dollar hinnehmen musste, bedingt durch die abgesagte Übernahme von Votaw Precision Manufacturing und verzögerte Maschinenwartung. Der Bruttogewinn sank um 66 % aufgrund höherer Produktionskosten. Der Auftragsbestand des Unternehmens beläuft sich auf 41,2 Millionen Dollar, der voraussichtlich in den nächsten ein bis drei Geschäftsjahren geliefert wird. Das Working Capital war negativ mit 1,7 Millionen Dollar, die Gesamtschulden beliefen sich zum 30. Juni 2024 auf 7,5 Millionen Dollar.

Insights

The Q1 FY2025 results reveal significant operational challenges at TechPrecision. Despite an 8% revenue increase to $8.0 million, the company's financial health is concerning. The $1.3 million operating loss at Stadco, coupled with negative working capital of $1.7 million and minimal cash reserves of $45,000, signals severe liquidity constraints.

The failed Votaw acquisition has created cascading operational issues, particularly affecting Stadco's machinery maintenance and throughput. The 66% decrease in gross profit to $238,000 and increased SG&A expenses paint a troubling picture of operational inefficiency. While the $41.2 million backlog provides some forward visibility, the company's ability to execute profitably remains questionable given its current financial constraints and operational challenges.

Revenue increased 8% year-over-year, Customer confidence remains high

Management to host conference call at 4:30 p.m. ET on Thursday, November 14

WESTMINSTER, MA / ACCESSWIRE / November 12, 2024 / TechPrecision Corporation (NASDAQ:TPCS) ("TechPrecision" or "the Company"), a custom manufacturer of precision, large-scale fabrication components and precision, large-scale machined metal structural components. The components that we manufacture are customer designed. We sell to customers in two main industry sections: defense and precision industrial markets, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2024.

We will have a conference call on Thursday November 14, 2024 at 4:30 P.M. to discuss our financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

"Stadco incurred an operating loss of $1.3 million during fiscal year 2025 first quarter, due to our inability to close the Votaw Precision Manufacturing transaction," stated Alexander Shen, TechPrecision's Chief Executive Officer. "We recognized a change in fair value of $0.4 million for a one-time non-cash breakup fee from the termination of the Votaw acquisition, there were no additional shares issued. That change in fair value fell directly to our bottom line for the first quarter. In addition the Stadco quarter was impacted by one of the economies of scale we expected to realize with the Votaw acquisition. Our plan was to move Stadco work to the Votaw plant and use the Votaw machinery. Due to delayed repair and maintenance on the Stadco machinery, we suffered through put issues on our projects."

"Customer confidence remains high as our backlog was $41.2 million at June 30, 2024," Mr. Shen continued. "We expect to deliver our backlog over the course of the next one to three fiscal years with gross margin expansion. First quarter consolidated revenue were $8.0 million or 8% higher when compared to $7.4 million in the fiscal 2024 first quarter," "First quarter consolidated revenue were bolstered by projects with relatively higher contract values during the first quarter of 2024 as compared with the same period a year ago. However, consolidated gross margin shrank due primarily the result of higher production costs and under-absorbed overhead at Stadco."

The following summary compares the three months ended June 30, 2024 to the same prior year period:

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
Reconciliation of EBITDA to Net Loss

While we prepare our financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or "U.S. GAAP", we also utilize and present certain financial measures that are not based on or included in U.S. GAAP. We refer to these as non-GAAP financial measures.

To complement our condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, we use EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. Net loss is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP that is most directly comparable to EBITDA. We believe EBITDA provides our board of directors, management, and investors with a helpful measure for comparing our operating performance with the performance of other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates. We also believe that EBITDA is a measure frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry, and is a measure contained in our debt covenants. However, while we consider EBITDA to be an important measure of operating performance, EBITDA and other non-GAAP financial measures have limitations, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP.

We define EBITDA as net loss plus interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Net loss was $1.5 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was negative for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The following table provides a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended:
