Air Industries Group Announces: Second Quarter Financial Results
HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., Aug. 15, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Air Industries Group (AIRI) - Air Industries Group (“Air Industries” or the “Company”), an integrated manufacturer of precision equipment assemblies and components for leading aerospace and defense prime contractors, announced financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.
Mr. Peter Rettaliata, Acting CEO of Air Industries Group, commented: “The completion of our stock offering in early July has enabled us to dramatically reduce our accounts payable. This has greatly improved our balance sheet and has increased the confidence of our suppliers and our customers. We have announced a restructuring that will convert more debt and all of our preferred stock outstanding to common stock. When this is completed our balance sheet will be even stronger.
“Our short-term goal is to dramatically increase production, particularly in our Complex Machining Segment where we have a “past-due” balance of parts with firm purchase orders totaling nearly $10 million. To accomplish this we are actively recruiting additional machinists and accelerating the combination of the two companies in that segment into one. The additional capital from our public offering will enable us to complete this transition which will reduce costs and increase operating efficiencies.
“Increasing the through-put in all of our factories, operating more efficiently and the recent completion of some low-profit projects which constrained our gross profit, should enable us to expand our gross profit, both in dollars and as a percentage of sales for the balance of the year. Increasing gross profit is a prerequisite to profitability and increased EBITDA.
“Our goal for 2017 is increasing sales each quarter. Our revenue for the second quarter was approximately 13% higher than the first quarter. Our 18-month fully funded backlog remains firm at nearly $100 million and we continue to quote and win new business.”
