TechPrecision Corporation Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2023 Financial Results
Improving operating performance drives revenue growth and gross profit
WESTMINSTER, MA / ACCESSWIRE / February 14, 2023 / TechPrecision Corporation (OTCQB: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 third quarter of fiscal year 2023 ended December 31, 2022.
"Third quarter consolidated net sales were $8.3 million or 28% higher when compared to $6.5 million in same quarter a year ago," stated Alexander Shen, TechPrecision's Chief Executive Officer. "Our Ranor segment reported a strong third quarter with net sales of $4.7 million and gross profit of $1.7 million. Our third quarter net sales included $3.6 million from our Stadco subsidiary. Gross profit and gross margin also significantly improved year-over-year for both the quarter and year-to-date periods."
"We continue to make progress rebuilding Stadco manufacturing and throughput," Mr. Shen continued. "We will continue at Stadco to focus on shepherding cash, rebuilding customer and supplier relationships, establishing operational discipline, improving gross margins, and growing the backlog. Total backlog remained strong at $43.9 million as of December 31, 2022. We expect to deliver that backlog over the course of the next one to three fiscal years with revenue growth and gross margin expansion."
As to our applications to uplist to NASDAQ and for the reverse split, both have been filed and are pending with the appropriate entities, although there can be no assurance that our listing application with NASDAQ and our authorization to effect the reverse stock split will be approved by the appropriate entities in a timely manner or at all.
The following summary compares the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 to the same prior year periods:
Fiscal 2023 Third Quarter Consolidated Financial Results
- Net sales were $8.3 million, an increase of 28%, due to strong revenue growth at Ranor.
- Cost of sales were $6.8 million, or 13% higher, due primarily to increased net sales at Ranor and higher unabsorbed overhead at Stadco.
- Gross profit was $1.5 million, or $1.0 million higher when compared to the same quarter last year. Gross margin percentage was higher primarily due to a profitable project mix and strong throughput at Ranor.
- SG&A was $1.2 million, a year-over-year decrease of $0.4 million. Prior period SG&A included one-time costs for legal, accounting, and other outside advisory services related to the Stadco acquisition.
- Operating income was $0.3 million, compared to operating loss of $1.1 million in the same quarter a year ago.
Fiscal 2023 Nine Months Ended December 31, 2022 Consolidated Financial Results
- Net sales were $23.9 million, an increase of $9.2 million or 63% when compared to the same nine-month period in the prior year. A profitable project mix of repeat business at Ranor plus twenty-one weeks of additional activity at Stadco were the drivers behind the revenue growth.
- Cost of sales were $19.9 million, or 59% higher, due to the increase in net sales for both Ranor and Stadco.
- Gross profit was $4.1 million, or 81% higher when compared to the same period last year. Gross margin percentage was higher because of a profitable production mix and better operating throughput.
- SG&A was $4.4 million, an increase of $0.9 million, primarily due to the added Stadco SG&A. The same period a year ago only included eighteen weeks of business activity at Stadco.
- Operating loss was $0.4 million, compared to operating loss of $1.3 million in the same period a year ago.
Financial Position
On December 31, 2022, TechPrecision had $0.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, a decrease since March 31, 2021. Working capital was $7.2 million at December 31, 2022 compared to $2.8 million at March 31, 2021 as we extended the Ranor term loan for an additional five years in December and converted a significant current liability to long-term. Total debt at December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022 was $7.1 million and $7.4 million, respectively. In December 2022, our revolver loan was renewed for one year.
