DUBLIN, Calif., Aug. 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Giga-tronics Incorporated (OTCQB: GIGA) (the “Company”) today reported results for its first fiscal quarter ended June 27, 2020.
Revenue for the first fiscal quarter ended June 27, 2020 was $3.5 million, consistent with the same period of fiscal 2020 and grew 35% sequentially as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. The Company achieved net income attributable to common shareholders of $72,000, or $0.03 per fully diluted share in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, compared to net income of $15,000 or $0.01 per fully diluted share, for the same period last year. The Company recorded EBITDA of $252,000 for the first quarter compared to EBITDA of $304,000 for the same quarter in fiscal 2020.
John Regazzi, CEO of the Company said, “We are pleased to report 35% overall sequential growth over the fourth quarter and a return to profitability during our first quarter of fiscal 2021. This was a solid quarter for us given the constraints presented by the COVID-19 pandemic and its significant adverse impact on our fourth quarter and full fiscal 2020 results. Our dependable sole source Microsource business experienced solid revenue growth compared to both last fiscal year’s first and fourth quarters and our radar testing business achieved satisfactory results despite travel constraints that have limited our ability to visit customers and prospects in person. We continued to manage our expenses carefully during the first quarter and expect that our expenses will increase at a slower rate than our revenue growth going forward. This, combined with our expectation that the higher margin testing business will comprise a larger portion of sales over time, should positively impact future profitability over the medium to long term.”
Lutz Henckels, COO and CFO, commented, “The market opportunity remains very attractive. The RADAR/EW threat emulation market is estimated at $440 million per year and we are targeting $60 million of this market within the next five years. We have a focused go-to-market strategy with deep relationships across our targeted channels. For example, we recently made our first sale of integrated solutions to the US Air Force for the F-35 program. This broadens our participation with the armed services, and we foresee additional revenue from the Air Force and Navy in the months and years ahead.”
Mr. Henckels continued, “California continues to struggle with a recent COVID surge which may temporarily impact our business and our suppliers. However, we remain confident based on our backlog and pipeline that we are positioned to continue to make progress on our five-year goal to achieve $60 million in annual revenues from the testing business, while also improving profitability along the way.”
