Optex Systems Holdings, Inc. Announces Period Ended March 28, 2021 Financial Highlights

RICHARDSON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / May 7, 2021 / Optex Systems Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB:OPXS), a leading manufacturer of precision optical sighting systems for domestic and worldwide military and commercial applications, announced financial highlights for its three and six-month period ended March 28, 2021.

During the three and six months ended March 28, 2021, revenue decreased from our prior year period by $2.7 million and $4.1 million, or 38.9% and 32.1%, and gross margin decreased from our prior year period by $1.2 million and $1.9 million, or 76.7% and 60.7%, respectively, Operating income for the three and six-month period ended March 28, 2021 decreased by $1.2 million and $1.8 million, to a ($0.4) million and ($0.3) million loss, from income of $0.8 million and $1.5 million during the prior year period, respectively.

The decrease in gross margin and operating profit during the three and six-month periods are primarily attributable to lower revenue and unfavorable manufacturing overhead on reduced production volume. Our operating segments have substantial fixed manufacturing costs that are not easily adjusted as production levels decline. We have implemented several cost-saving initiatives during the first half, including reductions in force and employee compensation combined with decreases in other discretionary spending. We anticipate the margins will improve as revenues increase and the impact of the first half cost reductions are fully realized.

As of March 28, 2021, the Company had working capital of $11.5 million, as compared to $11.7 million as of September 27, 2020. During the six months, we generated operating cash flow of $0.1 million, and spent $0.7 million for the purchase of 374,934 shares against our previously announced stock repurchase plan. We ended the quarter with a strong cash balance of $3.9 million as compared to $4.7 million as of the fiscal year end 2020. As of March 28, 2021, the Company had an outstanding payable balance of $0.4 million against our working line of credit. The line of credit allows for borrowing up to a maximum of $2.25 million. As of March 28, 2021, our outstanding accounts receivable was $2.0 million.

Danny Schoening, CEO of Optex Systems Holdings, Inc., commented, "During this period of reduced activity from our customer base Optex has taken the appropriate actions to correlate spending with sales. Our competitive position remains strong with zero lost sales giving us optimism that the run rates will return to the 2020 levels once the Government has worked through their COVID-19 response actions. The commercial side has already shown strong signs of recovery, so we believe this to be an excellent indicator that the Government side will follow."

Our key performance measures for the three and six-months ended March 28, 2021 and March 29, 2020 are summarized below.

During the previous twelve months, we have experienced a significant reduction in new orders and ending customer backlog across all but one of our product lines. We attribute the lower orders to a combination of factors including a COVID-19 driven slow-down of contract awards for both U.S. military sales and foreign military sales (FMS), combined with some shifting in defense spending budget allocations in US military sales and FMS away from Army ground system vehicles toward other military agency applications. Due to the significant level of uncertainty surrounding the pandemic and its impact to our customers and the defense supply chain, we are unable to ascertain the impact further delays in contract awards and customer orders may have on our total fiscal year 2021 revenues but are anticipating an annual reduction in the range of 26-32% compared to fiscal year 2020 revenues. We have experienced a recent increase in proposal requests, and anticipate an increase in orders over the next six to twelve months, however the timing and nature of new orders in the near term cannot be determined. Any continued delays in customer orders over the next three months could further impact our total fiscal year 2021 revenue and profitability during the second half. We are reviewing additional cost reductions during the next sixty to ninety days as required to further minimize the impact of any sustained delays in customer orders beyond the first six months of fiscal year 2021.

Backlog as of March 28, 2021 was $16.0 million as compared to a backlog of $16.3 million as of September 27, 2020, representing a decrease of 1.8%. During the six months ended March 28, 2021 the Company booked $8.5 million in new orders as compared to $10.1 million during the six months ended March 29, 2020. On January 11, 2021, the Company announced a contract for Laser Protected Periscopes for a base period of three years plus two one-year option years, not to exceed $14.4 million pursuant to an Indefinite Delivery - Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. We anticipate additional periscope contracts in addition to task order awards against our existing nine active IDIQ contracts for delivery in 2021 and beyond.

We use adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, gains/losses on changes in fair values, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) as an additional measure for evaluating the performance of our business as "net income" includes the significant impact of non-cash valuation gains and losses on warrant liabilities, noncash compensation expenses related to equity stock issuances, as well as depreciation, amortization, interest expenses and federal income taxes. We believe that adjusted EBITDA is a meaningful indicator of our operating performance because it permits period-over-period comparisons of our ongoing core operations before certain excluded items. Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure not required by, or presented in accordance with, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").

The table below summarizes our three and six-month operating results for periods ended March 28, 2021 and March 29, 2020, in terms of both the GAAP net income measure and the non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA measure. We believe that including both measures provides information that is useful in evaluating our financial results across periods.

Our adjusted EBITDA decreased by $1.2 million and $1.8 million, to a loss of ($0.3) million and ($0.1) million during the three and six-months ended March 28, 2021, as compared income of $0.9 million and $1.7 million during the three and six-months ended March 29, 2020. The decrease in EBITDA is primarily driven by decreased revenue and gross margin.
