Results from Operations
Fourth Quarter 2024
Revenue was $12.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared with $10.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher sales related to continued strong defense program product and solution shipments.
Net income was $2.1 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared with $73.0 thousand, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2023. In addition to the factors discussed above, the increase was primarily due to lower stock-based compensation expense partially offset by higher manufacturing cost of sales driven higher revenues, higher engineering expenses related to increased investment in research and development, higher sales commissions related to the increase in revenues, and an increase in administrative and corporate expenses to support the growth in revenues.
Gross margin was 47.2% in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared with 43.6% in the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher revenues, improved manufacturing efficiencies, and a higher margin product mix.
Adjusted EBITDA was $3.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared with $2.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to improved gross margins and continued containment of expenses as well as a higher margin product mix.
Fiscal Year 2024
Revenue was $49.0 million in 2024 compared with $41.2 million in 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher sales related to continued strong defense program product and solution shipments.
Net income was $7.6 million, or $2.65 per diluted share, in 2024 compared with $3.5 million, or $1.28 per diluted share, in 2023. The increase in revenues discussed above was partially offset by higher manufacturing cost of sales driven higher revenues, higher engineering expenses related to increased investment in research and development, higher sales commissions related to the increase in revenues, and an increase in administrative and corporate expenses to support the growth in revenues.
Gross margin was 46.2% in 2024 compared with 40.7% in 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher revenues, improved manufacturing efficiencies, and a higher margin product mix.
Adjusted EBITDA was $11.1 million in 2024 compared with $7.7 million in 2023. The increase was primarily due to improved gross margins and continued containment of expenses as well as a higher margin product mix.
"The Company reported record revenues for the third year in a row, largely driven by strong growth in the Aerospace and Defense sector, which increased over 40% year over year. Our Avionics sector also grew slightly, which focuses on large commercial aircraft and some business jets. 2024 proved to be a difficult year for the major airframe providers, but we anticipate this sector picking up throughout the year and remaining strong as they begin to work through their large backlog of orders, " continued Mr. Pforr. "Overall business performance, combined with the exercise of stock options, significantly strengthened our balance sheet, which ended the year with $12.6 million of cash and cash equivalents." Backlog was $47.2 million as of December 31, 2024 compared to $47.8 million as of December 31, 2023.
Management, including Mr. Pforr, will host a conference call with the investment community on Friday, March 28, 2025, to discuss the Company's fourth quarter 2024 results and to respond to investor questions.
