Optex Systems Holdings, Inc. Announces Three and Six Months Ended April 2, 2023 Financial Highlights

RICHARDSON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / May 16, 2023 / Optex Systems Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:OPXS), a leading manufacturer of precision optical sighting systems for domestic and worldwide military and commercial applications, announced financial results for the three and six months ended April 2, 2023.

Danny Schoening, CEO of Optex Systems Holdings, Inc., commented, "We are extremely pleased with the quarter. Our backlog has grown significantly and the actions that we have taken to improve our supplier performance have taken hold. These actions have enabled us to execute on the backlog and meet our customer's growing demand."

For the three and six months ended April 2, 2023, our total revenues increased by $1.2 million, and $0.9 million, or 24.0% and 9.9%, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended April 3, 2022. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by increased deliveries at both the Optex Systems Richardson segment of $1.0 million and $0.7 million and the Applied Optics Center segment of $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the three- and six-month periods, respectively.

We have experienced significant material shortages during the three months ended October 2, 2022 and extending into the first six 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 half of fiscal year 2023, have negatively impacted our production levels and have pushed expected customer delivery dates into the second half of fiscal year 2023. We are aggressively seeking alternative sources and actively expediting our current suppliers 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 requested a significant schedule delay pushing their laser filter unit deliveries from the first half into the second half of fiscal year 2023. We are encouraged by recent improvements in supplier performance for the Optex Richardson segment periscope line which yielded increased revenue performance during the second quarter and anticipate a continuing trend of higher revenue for the segment in the third and fourth quarters.

Consolidated gross profit for the three months ended April 2, 2023 increased by $0.8 million, or 116.9%, compared to the prior year period. Consolidated gross profit for the six months ended April 2, 2023 increased by $0.7 million, or 47.5%, compared to the prior year period. The increase in the most recent three and six-month period gross margin was primarily attributable to higher revenue spread across a fixed manufacturing cost base in both operating segments combined with changes in product mix and improved pricing and operating performance on our Applied Optics optical assembly line.

Our operating income for the three months ended April 2, 2023 increased by $0.8 million compared to the prior year period. The increase in operating income was primarily driven by higher gross profit during the current three-month period. Our operating income for the six months ended April 2, 2023 increased by $0.5 million compared to the prior year period. The increase in operating income was primarily driven by increased gross profit of $0.7 million offset by increased general and administrative costs of ($0.2) million during the current six-month period.

As of April 2, 2023, the Company had working capital of $11.4 million, as compared to $10.0 million as of October 2, 2022. During the six months ended April 2, 2023, we used operating cash of ($1.1) million, borrowed $1.0 million against our line of credit and spent $146 thousand on acquisitions of property and equipment. During the period, our inventory increased $2.1 million in support of new program awards and increasing revenues anticipated over the next twelve months.

In March 2023, we moved our line of credit from PNC Bank to Texas Capital Bank and increased our available line of credit to $3.0 million from the previous $2.0 million line with PNC. The increase helps us meet our working capital requirements in light of the increased backlog and delay of revenues into the second half of fiscal year 2023. As supplier issues and labor shortages continue to abate, we anticipate increased revenue and working capital with a recovery expected by fiscal year end 2023. Based on our current backlog, we anticipate an overall increase for fiscal year 2023 revenues as compared to the 2022 levels.

On March 14, 2023, the Company's shares of common stock were listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the ticker symbol "OPXS."

Our key performance measures for the three and six months ended April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022 are summarized below.

During the six months ended April 2, 2023, the Company booked $19.1 million in new orders, representing an 84% increase over the prior year period. The increase in orders is primarily attributable to a 139% increase in the Optex Systems - Richardson segment orders over the prior year period. The Applied Optics Center experienced a 5% increase in orders over the prior year period.

The Company has seen significant increases in orders for many of its defense and commercial products during the first six 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 2022, 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 commercial optical assemblies for our existing customer. During the six months ended April 2, 2023, the Optex Systems Richardson segment has received additional task order releases of $6.2 million in periscopes, $1.4 million in other products and $0.4 million in sighting systems against our long running IDIQ periscope contracts.

Backlog as of April 2, 2023 was $41.6 million, compared to a backlog of $28.2 million as of April 3, 2022, representing an increase of $13.4 million or 48%. Backlog as compared to October 2, 2022 increased by $8.7 million, or 26%, from $32.9 million.

The table below summarizes our three-and six-month operating results for the periods ended April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022, in terms of both the GAAP net income measure and the non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA measure. We believe that including both measures allows the reader better to evaluate our overall performance.

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 increased by $630 thousand to $479 thousand for the three months ended April 2, 2023, as compared to a net loss of ($151) thousand for the prior year period. Our adjusted EBITDA increased by $798 thousand to $717 thousand for the three months ended April 2, 2023, as compared to a loss of ($81) thousand for the prior year period. Our net income increased by $378 thousand to $256 thousand for the six months ended April 2, 2023, as compared to a net loss of $(122) thousand for the prior year period. Our adjusted EBITDA increased by $615 thousand to $552 thousand for the six months ended April 2, 2023, as compared to $63 thousand for the prior year period.

The increase in the most recent three and six-month period net income and adjusted EBITDA is primarily driven by higher revenue and improved gross profit performance across both operating segments.
