Optex Systems Holdings, Inc. Announces Financial Results For Three Months Ended January 1, 2023

RICHARDSON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / February 13, 2023 / Optex Systems Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB:OPXS), a leading manufacturer of precision optical sighting systems for domestic and worldwide military and commercial applications, today announced financial results for the three months ended January 1, 2023.

Danny Schoening, CEO of Optex Systems Holdings, Inc., commented, "As we've previously communicated, our first quarter is seasonally slower given the Government's procurement processes and fewer production days in the quarter. In addition, we continue to work through the supply chain issues we have previously highlighted. Despite these challenges, our backlog has continued to increase and our forecasted Q2-Q4 sales are anticipated to exceed our prior year's performance."

For the three months ended January 1, 2023, our total revenues decreased by $0.3 million, or 6.9% compared to the prior year three months ended January 2, 2022.

We have experienced significant material shortages during the three months ended October 2, 2022 and extending into the first three months of fiscal year 2023 from two significant suppliers of our periscope covers and housings. These shortages affect several of our periscope products at the Optex Richardson segment. The delays in key components, combined with labor shortages during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 have negatively impacted our production levels and have pushed some expected delivery dates into the second and third quarters of fiscal 2023. We are aggressively seeking alternative sources for these components as well as increasing employee recruitment initiatives and overtime to attempt to mitigate any continuing risks to the periscope line. In addition, one of our major customers for the Applied Optics Center has requested a significant schedule delay, pushing their laser filter unit delivery schedules from the first half into the second half of fiscal year 2023.

Consolidated gross profit for the three months ended January 1, 2023 decreased by $106 thousand, or 12.9%, compared to the prior year period. The decrease in profit was primarily attributable to a decrease in consolidated revenue across a relatively fixed direct overhead cost base, changes in revenue mix between the segments, and inflationary material and labor pressure against our long-term fixed price contracts.

Operating income for the three months ended January 1, 2023 decreased by $297 thousand to a loss of $282 thousand, as compared to operating income of $15 thousand in the prior year period. The decrease in operating income was primarily driven by lower gross profit combined with an increase in general and administrative expense.

As of January 1, 2023, the Company had working capital of $9.7 million, as compared to $10.0 million as of October 2, 2022. During the three months ended January 1, 2023, we generated operating cash flow of $451 thousand and spent ($90) thousand on acquisitions of property and equipment.

On December 7, 2022 the Company submitted an application to list its common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market. There are no assurances (1) that the Company will continue to meet the initial listing criteria throughout the pendency of the application (including with respect to its share price), (2) that NASDAQ will approve the application or (3) relating to the timing of any such approval. If and when listed on NASDAQ, there are no assurances that the Company will continue to meet NASDAQ's continued listing requirements

Our key performance measures for the three months ended January 1, 2023 and January 2, 2022 are summarized below.

During the three months ended January 1, 2023 the Company booked $11.2 million in new orders, representing a 220% increase over the prior year period new orders of $3.5 million. Both segments experienced a sizeable growth in orders as compared to the prior year period.

The Company has seen significant increases in orders for many of its defense and commercial products during the first three months of fiscal year 2023 inclusive of two new customers for our sighting systems and filter programs. On November 1, 2022, the Company announced it has been awarded a $3.4 million order to repair and refurbish night vision equipment for the Government of Israel. The order represents a significant increase in our Optex Richardson sighting systems business base for a new customer and includes an additional potential award value with a 100% optional award quantity clause. In October 2023 the Company booked a $0.9 million award for Applied Optics Center laser interface filters for a new defense customer in addition to increased purchase orders for our optical assemblies for our existing commercial customer.

Backlog as of January 1, 2023, was $40.1 million as compared to a backlog of $26.5 million as of January 2, 2022, representing an increase of $13.6 million or 51.3%. Backlog as compared to October 2, 2022 increased by $7.2 million, or 21.9% from $32.9 million.

The table below summarizes our three-month operating results for the three months ended January 1, 2023 and January 2, 2022, in terms of both GAAP net income and non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that including both measures allows the reader better to evaluate our overall performance.

Adjusted EBITDA - Non-GAAP

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations and should not be considered in isolation or a substitute for performance measures calculated under GAAP. This non-GAAP measure excludes certain cash expenses that we are obligated to make. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do or may not calculate it at all, which limits the usefulness of Adjusted EBITDA as a comparative measure.

Our net income decreased by $252 thousand to a loss of $223 thousand for the three months ended January 1, 2023, as compared to income of $29 thousand for the three months ended January 2, 2022. Our adjusted EBITDA decreased by $310 thousand to a loss of $166 thousand for the three months ended January 1, 2023, as compared to income of $144 thousand for the three months ended January 2, 2022. The decrease in the three-month period ended January 1, 2023 is primarily driven by lower revenue and operating profit as compared to the prior year.

Recently experienced supplier delays, labor shortages, and customer schedule changes negatively impacted our revenue during the three months ended January 1, 2023 but are expected to abate during the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. We increased our line of credit to $2.0 million from $1.125 million, to facilitate our working capital requirements due to the delays and increased backlog. We anticipate higher revenue beginning during the second quarter and increasing through the second half of fiscal year 2023 as the supplier and labor shortages combined with customer schedule delays are resolved and as we continue to work through our growing backlog.

Highlights of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated and Segment Results of Operations have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. These financial highlights do not include all information and disclosures required in the condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes and should be read in conjunction with our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended January 1, 2023 filed with the SEC on February 13, 2023.
