HAUPPAUGE, NY--(Marketwired - May 5, 2016) - Orbit International Corp. (
First Quarter 2016 vs. First Quarter 2015
- Net sales were $4,801,000, as compared to $4,214,000.
- Gross margin was 36.4%, as compared to 32.8%.
- Net income was $35,000 ($0.01 per diluted share), as compared to a net loss of $326,000 ($0.07 loss per share).
- Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and stock based compensation (EBITDA, as adjusted) was $112,000 ($0.03 per diluted share), as compared to a loss of $215,000 ($0.05 loss per share).
- Backlog at March 31, 2016 was $15.4 million compared to $13.9 million at March 31, 2015. Backlog at December 31, 2015 was $11.1 million.
Mitchell Binder, President & Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our operating results for the current quarter marks the first time since 2011 that the Company has recorded a profitable first quarter and reflects the improving operating performance of our Electronics Group. Similar to our prior year operating trend, we expect our revenue levels to increase in the remaining quarters of 2016, which will lead to improved operating performance."
Mr. Binder added, "Our backlog at 3/31/16 was $15.4 million compared to $11.1 million at 12/31/15, a 38.1% increase. Our Electronics Group has gotten off to a strong start to 2016 with the receipt of several significant contracts that were previously announced during the first quarter. The cumulation of these awards pushed our consolidated bookings for our Electronics and Power Groups to over $9,000,000 for the first quarter. Consequently, we expect revenue levels will improve as delivery schedules are met from our increased backlog. With the operating leverage inherent in our business, we expect operating margins to improve in the coming quarters."
Mr. Binder continued, "We are encouraged by our bid and proposal pipeline for follow-on opportunities for both our Electronics and Power Groups. In addition to the high level of awards received in the first quarter, our Electronics Group is currently working with our customers on several additional follow-on contracts, some of which we expect to receive in the current second quarter of 2016. Our Power Group experienced relatively weak bookings in the first quarter but has noted an increase in its bid pipeline for its commercial products. We also continue to establish new alliances for our VPX technology and have both received and continue to bid on new pre-production awards with significant sales projected once full production is attained. However, the timing of actual awards is always an uncertainty."
David Goldman, Chief Financial Officer, noted, "Our financial condition remains strong. At March 31, 2016, total current assets were approximately $16.3 million versus total current liabilities of approximately $1.9 million for a 8.7 to 1 current ratio. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of March 31, 2016, aggregated approximately $2.3 million. To offset future federal and state taxes resulting from profits, we have approximately $10 million and $3 million in available federal and New York State net operating loss carryforwards, respectively, which should enhance future cash flow."
Mr. Goldman added, "During the quarter, we paid down $130,000 of our debt which brought the balance owed under our line of credit to $1.28 million at March 31, 2016. In addition, we were in compliance with our financial covenants at March 31, 2016. Our tangible book value at March 31, 2016 was $3.11 as compared to $3.10 at December 31, 2015 and $2.82 at March 31, 2015 (this does not include any value for the potential deferred tax asset from our operating loss carryforwards that could offset future taxable income)."
Mr. Goldman concluded, "Since January 1, 2012, we have repurchased in excess of 493,000 shares of our stock in the marketplace (including 22,890 shares purchased in the first quarter) at an average price of $3.41 per share. Due to our improved operating performance and outlook for the remainder of the current fiscal year, our Board of Directors has authorized a new share repurchase program whereby management is authorized to buy up to $275,000 of its common stock in the marketplace through June 30, 2016. In addition, the Board has also authorized management to purchase up to $400,000 of its common stock during the period July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017. These purchases would be in compliance with the credit agreement with our commercial lender."
Mr. Binder concluded, "After a nice turnaround in financial performance in 2015, our outlook for 2016 is encouraging, particularly with $9,000,000 in bookings in the first quarter. We are now benefiting from the restructuring of our business that we began back in 2013 as our margins have improved. Our goal remains to drive our revenue levels higher to take advantage of our operating leverage and to continue to work with our existing customers on new technology which we hope will secure us with next generation products that could secure us on new critical programs."

(1) | The EBITDA (as adjusted) tables presented are not determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Management uses EBITDA (as adjusted) to evaluate the operating performance of its business. It is also used, at times, by some investors, securities analysts and others to evaluate companies and make informed business decisions. EBITDA (as adjusted) is also a useful indicator of the income generated to service debt. EBITDA (as adjusted) is not a complete measure of an entity's profitability because it does not include costs and expenses for interest, depreciation and amortization, income taxes and stock based compensation. EBITDA (as adjusted) as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly named measures reported by other companies. |
