Mitchell Binder, President and CEO of Orbit International Corp. commented, “I am pleased to report strong operating performance for our first quarter of 2022 which includes the operations of our newly acquired Simulator Products Solution LLC (“SPS”) subsidiary that commenced operations following the closing of its acquisition of the assets and business of Panel Products, Inc. (“Panel”) on January 3, 2022. Our net income for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was $466,000 compared to $1,827,000 for the prior comparable period. Included in our current period results is the adverse effect of both $98,000 of one-time acquisition costs related to the acquisition of SPS and a $94,000 charge to SPS’ cost of sales due to the increase recorded to its work-in-process and finished goods beginning inventory under Fair Value Accounting (“FVA”), also related to the acquisition of SPS. Included in our prior year results is $1,618,000 representing the forgiveness of our loan, including accrued interest, from Peoples United Bank under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). Exclusive of the one-time acquisition costs and the charge to cost of sales under FVA and the PPP loan forgiveness, our net income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $658,000 ($0.19 per diluted share) compared to $209,000 ($0.06 per diluted share) in the comparable period of the prior year. Our EBITDA, as adjusted for the three months ended March 31, 2022, exclusive of the one-time acquisition costs and charge to cost of sales under FVA was $738,000 ($0.21 per diluted share).”
Mr. Binder added, “Our sales for the three months ended March 31, 2022, increased to $6,843,000 compared to $5,393,000 from the prior comparable period. This increase in sales was primarily attributable to sales from SPS, which is part of our Orbit Electronics Group (“OEG”). This increase was partially offset by a decrease in sales from our Orbit Power Group (“OPG”). Exclusive of sales from SPS, sales from our OEG also increased from the prior comparable period.”
Mr. Binder further added, “Our gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2022, exclusive of adjustments to SPS’ work in process and finished goods under FVA, increased to 38.9% compared to 32.2% in the prior comparable period. This increase reflects a higher gross profit from both our OEG and OPG. The increase in gross margin during the quarter by our OEG was attributable to certain engineering deliverables, which had associated costs that were expensed in the current and prior periods, as well as a more profitable product mix. Our improved gross margin at our OPG was due to the completion of the lower gross margin CAATS contract during the prior comparable quarter which has been replaced by the higher gross margin shipments of our VPX power supplies and other COTS products. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter, increased from the prior year, primarily due to the addition of expenses from SPS and higher corporate costs. Exclusive of SPS and corporate costs, selling, general and administrative expenses increased due to higher selling expenses and wage inflation.”
Mr. Binder continued, “Our backlog at March 31, 2022, was approximately $15,338,000 compared to approximately $17,900,000 at December 31, 2021, inclusive of the backlog of SPS. The reduction in backlog was due to a lower backlog at our OEG. Our backlog at March 31, 2022 for our OPG did not materially change from year-end. The reduction in backlog was expected as some follow-on orders were pushed back by our customers into the second half of 2022, primarily due to funding delays from the Department of Defense (“DoD”). These funding delays were principally the result of work restrictions related to the pandemic and a shifting of prioritization of certain contract awards from the DoD. Although timing is an uncertainty, we expect these purchase orders to eventually be received.”
David Goldman, Chief Financial Officer, noted, “At March 31, 2022, our cash and cash equivalents aggregated approximately $5.3 million and our financial condition continued to remain strong as evidenced by our 4.2 to 1 current ratio. In addition, our $4,000,000 line of credit with our primary lender remains unused. Our book value per share at March 31, 2022 was $6.00 which compares to $5.88 at December 31, 2021. (Note: book value per share does not include any additional value for our remaining reserved deferred tax asset). To offset future federal and state taxes resulting from profits, we have approximately $6.0 million and $0.5 million in available federal and New York State net operating loss carryforwards, respectively.”
Mr. Binder concluded, “Because our revenues are tied to our delivery schedules specified in our contracts, it is often difficult to judge our performance on a quarterly basis. We completed a solid year of operating results in 2021 due to improved gross margins, and also as a result of tight controls on our overall operating costs. We have followed with a very firm first quarter of operating results, as we layer on the SPS operation. During the second quarter of 2021, based on our improved outlook on our business regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and stability of our financial condition, our Board of Directors authorized the Company to recommence our share repurchase program and as a result of our 2021 financial performance and our financial condition, in March 2022, our Board of Directors approved to recommence our quarterly dividend program. We remain confident in our operating performance of our legacy businesses as we move through 2022, although the timing of contract awards and supply chain issues remain a concern and could impact the timing of deliveries in 2022. Our operating team continues to work on potential solutions whenever receipt of components is delayed. However, we expect SPS’ operating results to continue throughout 2022 and consequently, we remain confident that our operating results should further improve in the coming year.”
In January 2022, Orbit announced that its newly formed subsidiary, SPS, had completed its previously announced acquisition of the assets and business of Panel, a Carson, CA based company founded by Nabil Radi in 1999. The transaction valued Panel at approximately $6,500,000, subject to adjustment, with $4,000,000 of the purchase price paid in cash at closing, an aggregate of up to $1,200,000 in performance related payments payable at the end of 2022 and 2023, and the issuance to Panel of a 19.9% ownership interest in SPS.
