Edward J. Fred, CPI Aero’s President & CEO, stated, “The increase in revenue for the three and nine month periods was primarily the result of work performed for the Boeing Company on the A-10 attack jet and Northrop Grumman Corporation on the E-2D surveillance airplane. As expected, 2011 third quarter revenue increased by only 28% with the big surge in revenue to come in the fourth quarter. As we are now well into the fourth quarter, we can say with added confidence that the fourth quarter of 2011 will be the highest revenue quarter in CPI Aero’s history by a significant margin.
“As compared to last year, for the first nine months of this year, revenue generated from government subcontracts and commercial subcontracts increased by 69.2% and 19.5%, respectively, offset by a 39% revenue decrease from prime government contracts. This was an anticipated shift resulting from our marketing focus on subcontracting work over the last several years.”
Mr. Fred added, “As has been the case in the first half of the year, our gross margin for the three and nine month periods was affected by travel and labor required for supplier surveillance on the early stage of production for our three major programs: the A-10 attack jet, the E-2D surveillance airplane and the Gulfstream G650 aircraft. We expect these costs to remain in effect through year-end, resulting in a gross margin range of 24%-25% for 2011 as a whole.
“Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, increased by 29.1% and 33.5%, respectively, primarily due to an increase in public fees, higher salaries and payroll taxes associated with a larger number of employees to handle higher work volume and meet customer delivery schedules, as well as office expenses and accrued bonuses.”
Mr. Fred added, “We continue to receive new orders and as of November 5, 2011, we received approximately $81.5 million of new contract awards, compared to $57.7 million in the same period last year, and well above the $61.7 million for all of 2010. New contract awards included approximately $11.7 million of government prime contract awards, approximately $24.2 million of government subcontract awards and approximately $45.6 million of commercial subcontract awards.”
Mr. Fred added, “We look forward to additional orders from existing customers, the two new customers we added this year, Honda Aircraft and Bell Helicopter, as well as from the unawarded solicitations of approximately $399 million on which we have bid.”
Mr. Fred went on to say, “We are confident that we are on track to reach our 2011 guidance which calls for revenue of approximately $74 million, with a resulting net income in the range of $7.4 million to $7.5 million. For 2012, we expect revenue to be in the range of $95 million to $98 million, with a resulting net income in the range of $12 million to $13 million.”
Mr. Fred concluded, “Finally, we expect to complete our relocation to the 171,000 sq. ft. facility by the end of the year. This new facility, which is nearly three times the size of our current location, will provide us with the needed capacity to support our expected growth in new orders, customers, programs and of course, revenue and profits over the coming years.”
