Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. reports third quarter results

Saratoga Springs, NY, May 17, 2021 – Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. (NYSE American: ESP)

announces results for the first nine months of fiscal year 2021.

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal year 2021, January 1 to March 31, 2021, were $4,205,068, compared with last year’s third quarter net sales of $6,191,300. Net loss for the quarter was $(1,070,114), $(0.44) per diluted share, as compared to net loss of $(103,765), $(0.04) per diluted share for the same quarter last year.

For the first nine months of fiscal year 2021, July 1 to March 31, 2021, net sales were $18.4 million, compared with $19.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2020. Net loss for the period was $(1,061,297), $(0.44) per diluted share, compared with net income of $206,975, $0.09 per diluted share, for the same period last year.

The backlog for the Company was approximately $67.3 million at March 31, 2021, compared with last year’s backlog of $59.8 million at March 31, 2020. New orders in the first nine months of fiscal year 2021 were $30.8 million, compared with new orders in the first nine months of fiscal year 2020 of $33.6 million.

Mr. Patrick Enright, President and CEO, commented,

The current quarter results reflect continuing issues associated with the pandemic’s impact on the industries we service. Direct impacts include the write-off of inventory under a commercial airline industry contract partially written down last quarter. We also incurred additional, unplanned investment in a new development program for submarines. A major subcontractor increased its cost to supply a critical component for the first production deliveries. This one-time increase was absorbed by Espey in order to remain a supplier for the submarine class over the coming decade. In addition, supply of electronic components, which were already in short supply prior to the pandemic, now have lead times stretching out to over a year, which moves revenue recognition into future quarters.

Unfortunately the pandemic also hit closer to home for us. Nearly a year into the pandemic, Espey suffered a COVID 19 outbreak in our facility. Following governmental guidelines, Espey closed the facility for ten days to allow the outbreak to run its course, but the impacts to our production line are still being felt more than a month later.

Based on the direct and indirect impacts the pandemic had on Espey in Q3, we currently believe annual sales will be lower than prior year sales and earnings-per share will be lower than the prior year, each reflecting a decrease from the original plan. However, new order bookings are expected to exceed $40 million for the current fiscal year and our backlog remains strong at over $67 million as of March 31, 2021.

Our customers, suppliers and the end users of our defense products are coming together in a collaborative environment to identify and address the common issues we are all facing. The challenges encountered over this fiscal year are not unique to Espey. The diversity of our offerings, and the relationships built over the last few years continue to allow our backlog to grow to record levels. We are positioned well for the coming fiscal years with stable programs and dedicated customers. We recognize and appreciate the continued support we have from our investors, and we are preparing to emerge from the challenges of the pandemic stronger than we have ever been.

Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. reports third quarter results

Saratoga Springs, NY, May 15, 2019 – Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. (NYSE American: ESP) announces results for its third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2019, ended March 31, 2019. Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal year 2019, January 1 to March 31, 2019, were $9.2 million, compared with last year’s third quarter net sales of $5.7 million. Net income for the period was $922,456, $0.39 per diluted share, compared with $317,764, $0.14 per diluted share for the same quarter last year.

For the first nine months of fiscal year 2019, July 1 to March 31, 2019, net sales were $24.9 million, compared with $24.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2018. Net income for the period was $1,201,886, $0.50 per diluted share, compared with net income of $2,375,399, $1.02 per diluted share, for the same period last year.

The backlog for the Company was $45.4 million at March 31, 2019, compared with last year’s backlog of $47.0 million at March 31, 2018. New orders in the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 were approximately $22.2 million, compared with new orders in the first nine months of fiscal year 2018 of approximately $28.6 million.

Mr. Patrick Enright, President and CEO, commented,

Our third quarter performance is indicative of where we stand on our major magnetics development programs, along with solid performance on our repeat production orders. One design has completed qualification, and had both test and production units delivered to our customers. The other two designs are complete, with units delivered to US Navy test facilities after extensive in-house testing. Qualification on these two designs will start in Q4, with the first production deliveries of our new 3.8 MW transformer planned before the end of fiscal year 2019.

We anticipated that fiscal year 2019 would be back-end loaded, with strong revenues and new sales orders anticipated during the final quarter of the year. We believe that the majority of new orders in the fourth quarter will come from our new products as they transition to low-rate initial production, consistent with our growth strategy implemented over the past several years. The new orders, if realized, will enable us to start Fiscal Year 2020 with a robust backlog.

CEO/CFO: Mr. St. Pierre, you have been with Espey Manufacturing and Electronics for almost two years; what attracted you to the company?

Mr. St. Pierre: What attracted me to Espey Manufacturing and Electronics was primarily, its longevity. Espey is a company that has not been on the industries radar, yet it has been around for eighty years. I wondered how a company could survive and prosper that long and be so little known. Espey is largely unknown except by a handful of very loyal long-term defense contractors. Therefore, I was intrigued by an opportunity to take a company with that kind of history and grow it. It had been stable and steady, but had not grown over the years. For me it was an attractive opportunity to take this profitable steady business, make a growth engine out of it, get it on the map and get it recognized for what it is.

CEO/CFO: As CEO for over a year, what have you done to change Espy, and what are you still working on in that area?

Mr. St. Pierre: There are many areas of focus for Espey, but the primary one is external. In other words, building a sales and marketing force is critical to getting the name out there and to bring new opportunities into the company, so we are hard at work on that. In fact, we just hired a Director of Sales and Marketing to lead that effort. He will in turn bolster the sales force nationally and even internationally where we have a couple of inter-national reps or agents. That is priority one, but while that is going on and parallel to that, there are a bunch of internal initiatives like the lean initiative. For example, we are focused on making our factory efficient by removing non value-added activities throughout our operation. Thirdly, a strategic plan has been developed and that has for the first time in the company provided a comprehensible strategic vision that looks out five years and sees where opportunities are and where the company can focus on its core and leverage those for successful growth.
