EDGEWOOD, N.Y. – December 31, 2020 – CPI Aerostructures, Inc. (“CPI Aero®”) (NYSE American: CVU) today announced financial results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020. In addition, CPI Aero has filed Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020; as a result, the company is now current with SEC financial reporting requirements and has regained compliance with the NYSE’s timely filing criteria.
“Third quarter revenue surged 30% over the second quarter as we began to ramp up production on newer defense programs. This production ramp up along with continued effective execution of our funded defense backlog drove a 38% sequential increase in revenue from defense contracts, which more than compensated for ongoing softness in our commercial aviation business. As a result, for the third quarter gross profit margin expanded 330 basis points to 16.4% and the bottom line swung $1.4 million to net income of $0.8 million,” said Douglas McCrosson, president and CEO of CPI Aero.
“Based on our solid third quarter results, we are increasingly confident in our expectations for accelerated revenue and margin improvement for the second half of 2020 compared to the first half and for revenue growth and higher operating income for 2020 compared to 2019. Looking ahead to 2021, our $183.9 million funded defense backlog gives us a high degree of confidence to affirm our previous 2021 outlook for growth in revenue, operating income and operating cash. Our demonstrated track record of competing for and winning new opportunities should help us sustain our strong backlog which will position us well for attractive long-term growth.”
