Substantial Growth in Demand Drives Increase in Backlog Amid Global Conflicts
Ault Alliance, Inc. (NYSE American: AULT), a diversified holding company (“Ault Alliance,” or the “Company”), today reported that its electronic technology solutions subsidiary Gresham Worldwide, Inc. (OTCQB: GIGA) (“Gresham”) is experiencing a growth in sales demand and backlog. The increases are led by robust order inquiry and market segment activity across Gresham’s defense businesses, particularly Gresham’s Israeli subsidiary Enertec Systems 2001 Ltd. (“Enertec”), which serves missile defense and medical device markets. Existing contract awards with exercisable options combined with current backlog are estimated to total $46 million as of March 31, 2024 and Gresham anticipates that its annual revenue will exceed $50 million for 2024.
“Gresham is led by Jonathan ‘JR’ Read and his dedicated team,” stated William B. Horne, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “Gresham is dynamically evolving their technological solutions to meet ever-changing needs, which have drawn interest in potential partnerships and opportunities. We are proud of Gresham’s innovations and its strong performance in Israel and across Europe. We remain committed to supporting Gresham advancing its defense technology to meet the growing global demand during these pivotal times.”
Enertec, headquartered in Karmiel, Israel was founded 44 years ago and has grown to be, in Gresham’s belief, one of the largest private suppliers of test equipment to Israel’s defense industry. The company was recently awarded a multi-year, $20 million contract to provide missile defense system technology and they have extensive experience in testing systems for cardiac catheters. It is one part of Gresham’s expanding worldwide operations, which also includes operations in the United Kingdom and the United States. Mr. Read, the CEO of Gresham, stated, “We currently anticipate that our revenue will grow annually at a rate exceeding, on average, 20% year over year for the coming years and expect to trim operating expenses through operational synergies and improve profitability through ongoing plans.”
