TechPrecision Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Backlog at $45 million, Customer confidence remains high

WESTMINISTER, MA / ACCESSWIRE / November 20, 2023 / TechPrecision Corporation (NASDAQ:TPCS) ("TechPrecision" or "the Company"), an industry-leading manufacturer of precision, large-scale fabricated and machined metal components and tested systems with customers in the defense and precision industrial sectors, today reported financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024.

"Customer confidence remains high, driving a strong backlog of $44.6 million as of September 30, 2023," stated Alexander Shen, TechPrecision's Chief Executive Officer. "Second quarter consolidated net sales were $8.0 million when compared to $8.5 million in the fiscal 2023 second quarter, or 6% lower"

"Ranor reported net sales of $4.5 million or a 9% decrease from the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Our Stadco subsidiary reported net sales of $3.6 million or 1% higher than the same period a year ago. Stadco gross profit improved, reporting a loss of $9,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. On a consolidated basis, we had a net loss of $528,000."

"Second quarter net sales for Stadco were flat when compared with the same period a year ago," Mr. Shen continued. "Our losses have narrowed year over year. We expect to deliver our backlog over the course of the next one to three fiscal years with revenue growth and gross margin expansion."With revenue growth, we expect improvement in gross profit and gross margin in future periods.

The following summary compares the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 to the same prior year period:

Consolidated Financial Results - Fiscal 2024 Three Months Ended September 30, 2023

  • Net sales were $8.0 million, a decrease of 6% when compared to the same period in fiscal 2023. Net sales decreased at Ranor by 9% and at Stadco after intersegment elimination by 3%, respectively, on a different proportionate project mix.
  • Cost of sales were $6.9 million, or 2% higher, due primarily to higher manufacturing costs at Ranor, from a less favorable project mix. The Ranor increase was offset in part by lower cost of sales and better throughput at Stadco.
  • Gross profit was $1.0 million, or 41% lower when compared to the same period last year. Gross profit decreased at Ranor on a less favorable project mix. Losses at Stadco narrowed year over year on improved overall margins on projects, partially offset by increased underabsorbed factory overhead.
  • SG&A was $1.6 million, a decrease of 11%, primarily due to cost reductions at Stadco.
  • Operating loss was $0.6 million compared to $0.1 million in the same period a year ago.
  • Net loss was $0.06 per share.

Consolidated Financial Results - Fiscal 2024 Six Months Ended September 30, 2023

  • Net sales were $15.3 million, a decrease of 2% when compared to the same period in fiscal 2023. Net sales at Stadco after intersegment elimination increased by 7% on a more favorable project mix and net sales at Ranor decreased by 7% year over year on a less favorable project mix.
  • Cost of sales were $13.6 million, or 4% higher, due primarily to higher manufacturing costs at Ranor, from a less favorable project mix, offset in part by better throughput and lower cost of sales at Stadco.
  • Gross profit was $1.7 million, or 32% lower when compared to the same period last year. Gross profit decreased at Ranor on a less favorable project mix. Losses at Stadco narrowed on improved project margins.
  • SG&A was $2.9 million, a decrease of 9% compared to the same period last year, due to cost reductions at Stadco.
