Tel-Instrument Electronics Corp. Reports Financial Results for First Quarter 2018
East Rutherford, NJ – August 17, 2017 – Tel-Instrument Electronics Corp. (“Tel”, “Tel-Instrument” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: TIK), a leading designer and manufacturer of avionics test and measurement solutions, today reported its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2018.
Financial Results for First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2018
Subsequent Events
Quarter Ended June 30, 2017 as Compared to June 30, 2016
For the quarter ended June 30, 2017, total net sales decreased $1,800,292 (33.7%) to $3,542,077, as compared to $5,342,369 for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. Avionics government sales decreased $1,899,294 (39.0%) to $2,972,326 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, as compared to $4,871,620 for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in sales is mostly attributed to the decrease in shipment of the U.S. Army TS-4530A Kits and Sets, CRAFT and ITATS units associated with the U.S. Navy programs, which contracts have now been completed. This decrease is partially offset by the shipment of the T-47N and our Precision DME (Distance Measuring Equipment”) test sets. Commercial sales increased $90,002 (21.0%) to $569,751 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $470,749 for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. This increase is attributed to the increased sales of the TR-220 and our recently introduced TR-36.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2017, total gross margin decreased $635,363 (33.9%) to $1,241,290, as compared to $1,876,653 for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, primarily as a result of the lower volume as well as labor and overhead variances as a result of the lower volume partially offset by higher selling prices. The gross margin percentage for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 was 35.0%, as compared to 35.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $61,944 (8.1%) to $706,286 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, as compared to $768,230 for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. This decrease was primarily attributed to lower salaries and related expenses, lower accrued profit sharing expense and consulting expenses offset partially by higher outside commission expenses.
Litigation expenses increased to $382,512 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $143,514 for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 as a result of the trial expenses associated with the Aeroflex Wichita, Inc. (“Aeroflex”) litigation.
Engineering, research and development expenses increased $30,396 (5.2%) to $615,273 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $584,877 for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. The Company continues to invest in new products by taking advantage of our CRAFT and TS-4530A technology to develop smaller hand-held products, which will broaden our product line for both commercial and military applications. The Company is also developing its T-47M5 Mode 5 test set, which we believe will compete effectively in the international market.
The Company recorded a loss from operations of $462,781 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, as compared to income from operations of $380,032 for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. Excluding the litigation costs, the operating loss would have been $80,269 for the first quarter of 2018 as compared operating income of $380,032 for the same quarter in fiscal year 2017.
Commenting on the results, Mr. Jeffrey O’Hara, President and CEO of Tel, stated, “The first quarter’s results were impacted by lower than expected gross margins and legal costs that approached $400k as a result of the six week trial. Excluding these legal costs, the Company would have reported a modest operating loss for the quarter. We continue to aggressively pursue the international Mode 5 market and have several pending opportunities that could turn into orders within the next 45 days. We are also in the process of rolling out a new marketing incentive plan for our international Mode 5 customers which should drive additional sales. New product development for our new T-47M5 IFF test set is in the final stages, and we are already accepting and have received orders for the T-47M5 from three different international customers. This new test set is expected to begin shipments early in the third quarter and should generate increased sales revenues for the Company. We are also receiving excellent reports on our new TR-36 Nav/Comm test set from both domestic and international customers with one major U.S. carrier ordering units in the second quarter. We are also seeing increased market activity on our TR-220 air traffic control (“ATC”) test set and we expect the commercial portion of our business to continue to grow as a result of the 2020 FAA ADS-B mandate. The new hand-held product is substantially completed from a mechanical standpoint and the initial ADS-B only test set is expected to enter production this fiscal year.
While the fiscal year 2018 revenues are predicted to decline substantially from FY 2017 levels, and we are projecting further decrease in the current quarter, we are forecasting a return to operating profitability in the third and fourth quarters as revenues are expected to rebound and gross margins should continue to improve due to the completion of the major military programs. We are forecasting increasing revenues and solid profitability in fiscal year 2019 when the international and F-35 Mode 5 sales are expected in volume as well as increasing sales from our new hand-held products. This new test set will be half the size of competitive test sets and should do extremely well in the marketplace. The 2018 and 2019 projections are of course dependent on our ability to finance the appeal process or pay the final damages award.”
Concerning the current litigation, Mr. O’Hara commented, “Depending on the outcome of hearings and the establishment of a final damages amount, both sides have the ability to appeal the decision or the judge could vacate the jury decision and schedule a new trial. If the judge enters a final damages award, both sides have approximately 30 days to file an appeal or request a new trial. The appeal process would entail posting a bond which is expected to be in excess of $1 million. Tel believes it has excellent grounds for appeal which would likely take several years to complete. Tel is actively working to arrange financing to cover the cost of the expected appeal and/or pay the final damages award depending on the amount of the final award.”
