Tel-Instrument Electronics Corp. (“Tel-Instrument,” “TIC,” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: TIKK), a leading designer and manufacturer of avionics test and measurement solutions, today reported a net income of $42K ($0.02) per basic and per diluted share, on revenues of $2.8 million for the first quarter of 2025 fiscal year, ended June 30, 2024.
Notes On First Quarter:
- Revenues for the first quarter were $2.8 million, as compared to $2.9 million in the year-ago quarter.
- The gross margin percentage decreased to 26% versus 45% the year-ago period due to low margin CRAFT ECP invoices.
- Operating expenses decreased by $200K, a 23% decline versus the year ago level as a result of funded engineering projects.
- Net income was $42K or $(0.02) per share, compared to net income of $295K or $0.07 per share in the year-ago quarter.
- CRAFT ECP Test Readiness Review (“TRR”) was completed in April 2024.
- Bookings backlog was $7 million at the end of the first quarter.
Mr. Jeffrey O’Hara, Tel-Instrument’s President and CEO commented, “We are expecting strong growth for the balance of FY 2025 due to the success of the SDR-OMNI and SDR-OMNI/MI and the expected commencement of MADL and CRAFT ECP production later this year. The successful completion of the Navy TRR was important as it was a key milestone in the development process, and it generated a large progress billing which bolstered our cash position. CRAFT ECP production is projected to commence in the fourth quarter of this fiscal year and should generate annual revenues of around $5 million. We were thrilled that Airbus selected our SDR-OMNI commercial test set for use in its world-wide manufacturing operations after an extensive technical evaluation. Additional volume orders were received from Airbus in the second quarter, and we continue to gain traction in the commercial marketplace. We are even more excited about the prospects for the SDR-OMNI/MIL which has the potential to replace thousands of obsolete test sets currently in use by the U.S. military and our NATO allies. The SDR-OMNI/MIL is the only multi-purpose avionic test set in the market that meets Class 1 military environmental specifications. While DOD procurement for new test sets tends to be an extended process, the SDR-OMNI/MIL has the potential to generate millions of dollars of annual revenues. The Lockheed Martin F-35 MADL Test Set development program has been completed and we are currently in negotiations to supply up to 119 MADL test sets this year.”
