Optex Systems Holdings, Inc. Announces *Amended* Three and Nine Months Ended July 3, 2022 Financial Highlights

RICHARDSON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / August 16, 2022 / Optex Systems Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB:OPXS), a leading manufacturer of precision optical sighting systems for domestic and worldwide military and commercial applications, announced financial highlights for the three and nine months ended July 3, 2022.

Danny Schoening, CEO of Optex Systems Holdings, Inc., commented, "We are extremely pleased with the progress over the last several months. While we continue to work issues caused by material and labor based inflation, we've been able to overcome material supply issues and maintain shipments to meet the requirements of our customers. Demand remains strong as the increase in backlog demonstrates and we continue to develop new processes and products to broaden our offerings for future growth."

Danny Schoening further commented: "Based on firm customer orders, the Company anticipates a consolidated revenue increase of 21-23% for the twelve months ending October 2, 2022 as compared to the twelve months ended October 3, 2021 combined with increased operating profit and adjusted EBITDA."

For the three and nine months ended July 3, 2022, our total revenues increased by $1.7 million and $2.5 million, or 39.2% and 19.0%, respectively, compared to the prior year period. The increase in revenue for the three and nine month periods were primarily driven by an increase in revenue at the Applied Optics Center segment, partially offset by a decrease in revenue at the Optex Richardson, over the prior year periods . During the year ended October 3, 2021, we realized a significant increase in customer orders and backlog for the Applied Optics Center segment. For the first nine months of fiscal year 2022, new orders on a consolidated basis were 86.7% higher than in the prior year period driven by increases in both operating segments.

Consolidated gross margin for the three and nine months ended July 3, 2022 increased by $0.5 million and $0.8 million, or 70.0% and 43.3%, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The increase in margin was primarily attributable to increased revenue at the Applied Optics Center segment.

Our operating profit for the three and nine months ended July 3, 2022 increased by $0.5 million and $0.6 million, or 794.7% and 219.7%, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The increase in operating profit was primarily driven by increases in revenue and gross margin at the Applied Optics Center segment.

As of July 3, 2022, the Company had working capital of $13.3 million, as compared to $12.9 million as of October 3, 2021. During the nine months, we generated operating cash flow of $1.9 million, and spent $236 thousand on purchases of equipment and $366 thousand for the purchase of 118,414 shares against our stock repurchase program. We ended the quarter with a strong cash balance of $5.2 million as compared to $3.9 million as of the fiscal year end 2021. As of July 3, 2022, our outstanding accounts receivable was $1.9 million. As of July 3, 2022, the Company had an outstanding payable balance of zero against our line of credit. The line of credit was renewed on April 12, 2022 through April 15, 2023 for a maximum borrowing amount of $1.1 million.

Our key performance measures for the three-and nine months ended July 3, 2022 and June 27, 2021 are summarized below.

Beginning in April 2020 through October 3, 2021, we experienced a significant reduction in new orders and ending customer backlog in our Optex Richardson segment, resulting in an overall decrease in backlog of 40% between September 29, 2019 and October 3, 2021. We attribute the lower orders to a combination of factors including a COVID-19 driven slow-down of contract awards for both U.S. military sales and foreign military sales (FMS), combined with significant shifting in defense spending budget allocations in US military sales and FMS away from Army ground system vehicles toward other military agency applications. In addition, the pandemic has caused several program delays throughout the defense supply chain as a result of plant shutdowns, employee illnesses, travel restrictions, remote work arrangements and similar supply chain issues.

While the Applied Optics Center segment experienced a significant decline in orders during the second half of fiscal year 2020, the segment saw a sizable increase in new orders during the fiscal year ended October 3, 2021 as a result of increased military spending in Army infantry optical equipment and a larger customer base and higher customer demand for commercial optical assemblies. As of October 3, 2021, the Applied Optics Center segment backlog had increased by 153% as compared to the level on September 29, 2019. As a result of this significant shift in orders and backlog between segments, we anticipate corresponding shifts in revenue during the 2022 fiscal year, with decreasing revenue at the Optex Richardson segment, and increasing revenue at the Applied Optics Center segment.

Backlog as of July 3, 2022 has increased by $2.7 million or 9.9% to $30.0 million as compared to backlog of $27.3 million as of October 3, 2021. Backlog has increased 132.6%, or $17.1 million, from $12.9 million as of June 27, 2021.

We are seeing increases in demand and proposal activity for both our Applied Optics Center laser coated filters and optical assemblies and anticipate additional order bookings for both our commercial and military products for deliveries in fiscal year 2023 and beyond.

We use adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) as an additional measure for evaluating the performance of our business as "net income" includes the significant impact of noncash valuation gains and losses on warrant liabilities, noncash compensation expenses related to equity stock issues, as well as depreciation, amortization, interest expenses and federal income taxes. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a meaningful indicator of our operating performance because it permits period-over-period comparisons of our ongoing core operations before the excluded items, which we do not consider relevant to our operations. Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure not required by, or presented in accordance with, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations and should not be considered in isolation or a substitute for performance measures calculated under GAAP. This non-GAAP measure excludes certain cash expenses that we are obligated to make. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do or may not calculate it at all, which limits the usefulness of Adjusted EBITDA as a comparative measure.

The table below summarizes our three and nine month operating results for the periods ended July 3, 2022 and June 27, 2021, in terms of both the GAAP net income measure and the non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA measure. We believe that including both measures allows the reader better to evaluate our overall performance.

Our net income decreased by ($1.0) million to $0.4 million net income for the three months ended July 3, 2022, as compared to net income of $1.4 million for the prior year period. Our adjusted EBITDA increased by $0.4 million to $0.6 million for the three months ended July 3, 2022, as compared to $0.2 million for the prior year period. The increase in adjusted EBITDA for the most recent three-month period is primarily driven by increased revenue as compared to the prior year period.

Our net income decreased by ($1.6) million to a net income of $0.3 million for the nine months ended July 3, 2022, as compared to a net income of $1.9 million for the prior year period. Our adjusted EBITDA increased by $0.6 million to $0.7 million for the nine months ended July 3, 2022, as compared to $0.1 million for the prior year period. The increase in adjusted EBITDA for the most recent nine-month period is primarily driven by increased revenue as compared to the prior year period.

During the three and nine months ended July 3, 2022, we did not recognize either a gain or a loss on the change in fair value of warrants, as the warrants had expired on August 26, 2021 in accordance with their terms. By comparison, during the three months ended June 27, 2021, we recognized a gain on the change in fair value of warrants of $1.2 million, and during the nine months ended June 27, 2021, we recognized a gain on the change in fair value of warrants of $2.0 million.
