Orbit International Corp. Reports 2016 Second Quarter Results

HAUPPAUGE, NY--(Marketwired - Aug 4, 2016) - Orbit International Corp. (OTC PINK: ORBT) today announced results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016.

Second Quarter 2016 vs. Second Quarter 2015

  • Net sales were $4,919,000, as compared to $5,181,000.
  • Gross margin was 33.6%, as compared to 39.2%.
  • Net income was $74,000 ($0.02 per diluted share), as compared to net income of $331,000 ($0.08 per diluted share).
  • Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and stock based compensation (EBITDA, as adjusted) was $117,000 ($0.03 per diluted share), as compared to earnings of $441,000 ($0.10 per diluted share).

First Half 2016 vs. First Half 2015

  • Net sales were $9,720,000, as compared to $9,395,000.
  • Gross margin was 35.0%, as compared to 36.3%.
  • Net income was $109,000 ($0.03 per diluted share), as compared to net income of $5,000 ($0.00 per diluted share).
  • Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and stock based compensation (EBITDA, as adjusted) was $229,000 ($0.05 per diluted share), as compared to earnings of $226,000 ($0.05 per diluted share).
  • Backlog at June 30, 2016 was $14.9 million ($0.8 million unfunded) compared to $13.2 million at June 30, 2015. Backlog at December 31, 2015 was $11.1 million.

Mitchell Binder, President & Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our operating results for the second quarter reflected small profitability as our revenue level slightly improved from the first quarter but did not attain the level where we can greatly benefit from our operating leverage. In addition, our quarter over quarter comparative was adversely affected by a low gross margin reported for the current quarter, primarily due to product mix and in particular, a very low gross margin incurred on a large shipment made during the quarter that completed a contract. However, our backlog remains comparatively high and our delivery schedules indicate that our revenue levels should further improve in the third and fourth quarters, highlighted by the expected shipment of a large COTS product by our Power Group. We also expect our product mix will lead to improved gross margins."

Mr. Binder added, "Our backlog at June 30, 2016 was $14.9 million compared to $11.1 million at December 31, 2015, a 34.3% increase. Our Electronics Group received several significant contracts in the first half of 2016 which resulted in total bookings in excess of $10.6 million for the segment through June 30, 2016 (approximately $0.8 million remains unfunded by one customer until final negotiations are completed). Furthermore, the bid pipeline also remains strong as several additional large awards are expected during the third quarter although timing is always an uncertainty. Consequently, we expect revenue levels will improve as delivery schedules are met from our increased backlog." 

Mr. Binder continued, "Our Power Group continues to struggle with the loss of business from the oil and gas industry and the reduction in demand for power supplies for test and measurement due to a nationwide reduction in capital expenditures. However we have made great progress on the engineering of additional products utilizing our VPX technology which has resulted in several new alliances with prime contractors on new military programs. We have received several pre-production orders which we hope will be converted into full production awards once evaluation is completed. However, because we anticipate that evaluation of these pre-production awards will take time, we do not expect a rebound in our Power Group bookings until 2017." 

David Goldman, Chief Financial Officer, noted, "Our financial condition remains strong. At June 30, 2016, total current assets were approximately $16.3 million versus total current liabilities of approximately $2.0 million for an 8.3 to 1 current ratio. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of June 30, 2016, aggregated approximately $1.8 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 $100,000 of our debt which brought the balance owed under our line of credit to $1.18 million at June 30, 2016. In addition, we were in compliance with our financial covenants at June 30, 2016. Our tangible book value at June 30, 2016 was $3.12 as compared to $3.11 at March 31, 2016 and $3.10 at December 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, "During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we purchased approximately 67,000 shares (approximately $225,000) of our common stock. In addition, during the current year quarter, we retired approximately 122,000 shares of treasury stock."

Mr. Binder concluded, "We are coming off a nice turnaround in financial performance in 2015 and our outlook for 2016 remains encouraging. We continue to carefully manage our costs, particularly, our selling, general and administrative expenses, and we believe we have the Company well positioned for improved operating margins once our revenue levels increase in the second half of 2016. We will also continue to use our operating cash flow to further reduce our debt and to repurchase our shares."

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.
