Mitchell Binder, President & Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our net income for the full year reflects a stronger second half of operating results in 2016. Exclusive of the income tax benefit recorded in the fourth quarter, our net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 increased by 21% over the prior year. This increase resulted from slightly improved sales and tight management of our operating costs. Our better operating results over the past two years have improved our operating cash flow and overall financial condition. This has enabled us to repurchase a significant amount of our shares as well as pay off our bank debt in the fourth quarter.
Mr. Binder added, “Our gross margins for the fourth quarter and full year were slightly lower than their respective comparable periods due to weaker sales from our Power Group and its product mix. However, we continue to tightly manage our selling, general and administrative costs. Our challenge remains to drive our revenue levels higher, which due to our operating leverage should further improve our operating margins. Our Electronics Group had a strong year of bookings in 2016 including over $3,600,000 in bookings in the fourth quarter. This helped increase our year over year backlog at December 31, 2016 by 17% and has well positioned our delivery schedules for the first half of 2017.
Mr. Binder added, “Our Power Group continues to struggle through weakness in the oil and gas industry and its test and measurement business. However, through tight cost management, we continue to be profitable in this segment. Our goal is to build up our bid pipeline for our COTS products and our new VPX technology. We are expecting a significant follow-on order for one of our COTS products in the second quarter of 2017 although timing is always an uncertainty. We continue to receive small preproduction orders for our new VPX products and we continue to make new alliances with many of the prime contractors seeking our technology. We are hopeful that contract values will begin to increase as some of these programs move from the preproduction to production stage during 2017.”
David Goldman, Chief Financial Officer, noted, “Our profitability from the last seven quarters has had a positive impact on our balance sheet and overall financial condition. At December 31, 2016, total current assets were approximately $15.3 million versus total current liabilities of approximately $1.6 million for a 9.7 to 1 current ratio. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2016, aggregated approximately $2.3 million. During the quarter, we paid down $1,025,000 of our debt, which fully paid off the amount owed under our line of credit. To offset future federal and state taxes resulting from profits, we have approximately $10 million and $0.7 million in available federal and New York State net operating loss carryforwards, respectively, which should enhance future cash flow.”
Mr. Goldman concluded, “Our tangible book value at December 31, 2016 was $3.42 as compared to $3.23 at September 30, 2016 and $3.10 at December 31, 2015 (Note this does not include any additional value for the remaining deferred tax asset still reserved for at December 31, 2016). We reduced the valuation allowance on our deferred tax asset which resulted in a $300,000 deferred tax benefit and net deferred tax asset. Also, during the quarter, we purchased approximately 95,000 shares (approximately $360,000) of our common stock.”
Mr. Binder concluded, “Overall, we completed a successful year with improved operating results, an increase in backlog year over year and strong operating cash flow. Our goal is to build on our 2016 results and continue to drive revenue to maximize our operating performance. Our Electronics Group continues to build up a firm bid pipeline and is working with its customers on both new developmental efforts and follow-on opportunities. As a result of our confidence in our business outlook, our Board of Directors has authorized management to purchase up to an additional $450,000 of our common stock. ”
