  • Backlog at June 30, 2021 was $15.1 million as compared to $15.8 million at March 31, 2021 and $17.9 at December 31, 2020.

Mitchell Binder, President and CEO of Orbit International Corp. commented, “Our net income for the six months ended June 30, 2021, was $2,361,000 compared to a loss of $376,000 for the prior comparable period. Included in our current period results was $1,618,000 representing the forgiveness of our loan, including accrued interest, from Peoples United Bank under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) which was recorded in our first quarter. Exclusive of the PPP loan forgiveness, our net income for the current six-month period was $743,000. Our net income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021, was $534,000 compared to a loss of $396,000 in the prior comparable period. During the current second quarter, in addition to a slight increase in sales, our improvement in net income was attributable to an increase in gross margin despite an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. Our operating performance in the prior comparable period was adversely affected by changes we made to our manufacturing operation in March 2020 in order to comply with the PAUSE executive order by the Governor of New York State to safeguard the health and safety of employees during the COVID-19 pandemic, which directly affected our productivity.”

Mr. Binder added, “Our sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021, increased to $5,801,000 compared to $5,765,000 from the prior comparable period. This increase in sales was attributable to an increase in sales from our Orbit Electronics Group (“OEG”) due to delivery schedules despite a reduction in sales from our Orbit Power Group (“OPG”). The decrease in sales from our OPG was due to a decrease in CAATS shipments as well as reduced shipments from our OPG’s commercial division. The shipment of CAATS units made during the first quarter of 2021 completed the contract that had been received by our OPG in September 2017. As previously mentioned, the CAATS units had a lower gross margin than our other products. Furthermore, the customer base of our OPG’s commercial division continues to be in the recovery stage resulting from the pandemic which caused sales from that division to be lower than sales from the prior comparable period. Although our commercial division’s sales during the second quarter of 2020 took place during the height of the pandemic, those sales were higher than the current year quarter as they reflected a higher backlog that had been created prior to the onset of the pandemic.”

Mr. Binder further added, “Our gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2021, increased to 37.2% compared to 18.8% in the prior comparable period. This increase reflects a higher gross profit from both our OEG and OPG due to increased sales at our OEG and a more profitable product mix from both operating segments. Our improved gross margin at our OPG should continue due to the completion of the lower gross margin CAATS contract which has been replaced by the higher gross margin shipments of our VPX power supplies and other COTS products. Gross margins in the prior comparable period were adversely affected by the changes we made to our manufacturing operation during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in the second quarter of 2020. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter were higher than the comparable period of the prior year due to an increase in selling expenses and other corporate costs. In addition, selling expenses are expected to increase for the remainder of the year as all trade shows for the current year have been scheduled for the second half of 2021.”

Mr. Binder continued, “Our backlog at June 30, 2021, was approximately $15,115,000 compared to approximately $17,879,000 at December 31, 2020. The reduction in backlog was due to a lower backlog at both of our operating segments. The reduction in the OPG backlog reflects a reduction in CAATS backlog at March 31, 2021 of approximately $620,000 as compared to the prior year end. Our OPG continues to book new orders for its VPX power supplies, but it continues to be offset by weak bookings from its commercial division. Our OEG had a firm second quarter of bookings but still experienced delays on certain material follow-on orders which we now expect will be booked in the third quarter although the timing of these orders is always an uncertainty.”

David Goldman, Chief Financial Officer, noted, “At June 30, 2021, our cash and cash equivalents aggregated approximately $6.9 million and our financial condition continued to improve as evidenced by our 8.4 to 1 current ratio. Our tangible book value per share at June 30, 2021 was $5.36 which compares to $5.22 at March 31, 2021 and $4.70 at December 31, 2020. (Note: tangible book value per share does not include any additional value for our remaining reserved deferred tax asset). To offset future federal and state taxes resulting from profits, we have approximately $7.0 million and $0.7 million in available federal and New York State net operating loss carryforwards, respectively.”

Mr. Binder concluded, “Because our revenues are tied to our delivery schedules specified in our contracts, it often is difficult to judge our performance on a quarterly basis. During the second quarter, based on our improved outlook on our business regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and stability of our financial condition, our Board of Directors authorized our Company to recommence our share repurchase program. Through August 4, 2021, we have purchased approximately 49,500 shares under the program. We remain confident of our operating performance in the second half of 2021 although supply chain issues could have some impact on the timing of certain deliveries in the latter part of the year. Our operating team continues to work on potential solutions in the event certain receipt of components are delayed and impact delivery schedules. We are hopeful that all of these supply chain issues are resolved as we move into the first quarter of 2022.”

  1. The EBITDA (as adjusted) tables presented are not determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Management uses EBITDA (as adjusted) to evaluate the operating performance of its business. It is also used, at times, by some investors, securities analysts and others to evaluate companies and make informed business decisions. EBITDA (as adjusted) is also a useful indicator of the income generated to service debt. 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, fair value adjustment-contingent liability and stock-based compensation. EBITDA (as adjusted) as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly named measures reported by other companies.
