DUBLIN, Calif., Aug. 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Giga-tronics Incorporated (OTCQB: GIGA) (the “Company”) today reported results for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 which ended June 26, 2021:
First Quarter Fiscal Year 2022 versus First Quarter Fiscal Year 2021 Highlights
- Revenue declined 42% to $2.1 million for the first fiscal quarter of fiscal 2022 from $3.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
- Microsource filter revenue declined by 18% to $2.0 million versus $2.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 which was primarily due to a delay of new orders.
- RADAR and Electronic Warfare (“RADAR/EW”) test revenue was $51,000 versus $1.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 due to lower than anticipated customer orders in the first quarter of fiscal 2022.
- Gross profit decreased to $0.8 million in the first quarter fiscal 2022 from $1.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 mainly due to the lower revenue in fiscal 2022.
- Engineering expenses decreased by $35,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 versus the comparable prior year period, primarily due to non-recurring engineering expenses for a service contract which were allocated to cost of revenue.
- Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $129,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 versus the comparable prior year period primarily due to an increase in stock-based compensation of $79,000 as well as an increase in sales personnel and increased expenses associated with the fiscal year-end 2021 audit.
- Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 increased to (860,000) or ($0.32) per share compared to net income of $72,000 or $0.03 per share in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 primarily due to the decrease in revenue of $1.5 million and the issuance costs in connection with pre-funded warrants issued during April 2021.
- Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as earnings before income taxes, net interest expense, net other income or expense, share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, was a loss of ($493,000) in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to income of $252,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
- Current liabilities on June 26, 2021 include a $1.7 million prefunded warrant liability. Certain terms of the warrant agreement were amended on July 28, 2021 which resulted in the reclassification of the prefunded warrant liability to equity effective on July 28,2021.
John Regazzi, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said, “We experienced delays in the procurement of our RADAR/EW Test systems and in the receipt of new contracts for additional RADAR filters, which resulted in substantially lower revenue for the quarter. The resulting lower gross profit was the primary reason for the reported losses.”
Mr. Regazzi added, "However, we are now seeing signs that business activity is improving. Since the beginning of fiscal year 2022, which began on March 28, 2021, we have received $3.7M in new orders associated with our Microsource filters and oscillators. In addition, the US Government has streamlined its procurement process associated with several major Electronic Warfare programs we are supporting in order to help meet critical timelines and lower the cost of procurements. With a new procurement method being put in place, we anticipate a more predictable and increasing order flow.”
Lutz Henckels, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer stated, “Clearly, the results of the first quarter of fiscal 2022 are disappointing and were mostly driven by the delay of new orders. We have booked over $4.3 million in new orders since April 1, 2021, of which $2.8 million was booked since the beginning of August. Orders for both our Microsource sole source filter business and our RADAR/ EW test business tend to be large so their timing can have a significant impact on our results from quarter to quarter. That said, we are still optimistic about the long-term prospects for our business and believe that fiscal year 2022 will deliver both revenue growth and profits.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures: Adjusted EBITDA is non-GAAP measure that does not have a standardized definition under U.S. GAAP. The Company has provided this non-GAAP measure in this press release because management believes it measures the Company’s operating performance and free cash flow in a manner useful to investors. The Company defines “Adjusted EBITDA” as net income (loss) before income taxes, net interest expense, net other income or expense, share-based compensation (non-cash), depreciation and amortization.
