EDGEWOOD, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–CPI Aerostructures, Inc. (“CPI Aero®”) (NYSE Amex: CVU) today announced record results for the 2010 second quarter and six month period ended June 30, 2010.

  • Gross margin was 26.7% compared to 24.8%;

  • Net income increased 33% to $1,205,254 or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to $903,489, or $0.14 per diluted share. Diluted earnings per share were calculated on 8.7% more shares in 2010 second quarter vs. 2009 second quarter.

First Half 2010 vs. 2009

  • Revenue increased 11% to $23,550,154 from $21,128,926;
  • Gross margin was 25.9% compared to 23.2%;
  • Pre-tax income increased 41% to $3,130,068 compared to $2,216,410;
  • Net income increased 42% to $2,066,068 or $0.32 per diluted share, compared to $1,449,410 or $0.23 per diluted share; and,
  • Unawarded solicitations remain at a high level with open solicitations totaling a maximum realizable value of approximately $288 million.

Edward J. Fred, CPI Aero’s President & CEO, stated, “Our three largest commercial customers, The Boeing Company, Northrop Grumman and Sikorsky accounted for 29%, 20% and 13% of revenue, respectively; only 24% of our revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 2010, was from government prime contract awards.”

He continued, “The gross margin gains drove the bottom line improvement for the quarter and year-to-date. Comparable quarter gross margin improved, just as it did in the current first quarter as we are no longer incurring excess costs due to customer-driven engineering and design changes on several new programs as was the case last year. We expect gross margin for 2010 to be in the range of 24% to 26%.”

Mr. Fred noted, “Based on results for the first half of the year and expectations for a strong second half, we are confident that we will reach our 2010 guidance which calls for revenue to be in the range of $48 million to $51 million, with resulting net income in the range of $4.3 million to $4.8 million.”

Mr. Fred continued, “As of June 30, 2010, total contract awards were approximately $31.1 million which included approximately $5.6 million of government prime contract awards, approximately $24.4 million of government subcontract awards and approximately $1.1 million of commercial subcontract awards, compared to a total of $4.9 million of new contract awards, of all types, in the first half of last year.”

Orders received in the second quarter include:

  • Our largest order was for Outer Wing Panel kits for use in the manufacture of wings for the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye and the C-2A Greyhound aircraft from Northrop Grumman Corporation valued at up to $27.6 million. The purchase order includes firm, funded requirements valued at approximately $16.4 million and options valued at an additional $11.2 million.
  • Boeing expanded the scope of work that we are performing under the existing long-term requirements contract to support its A-10 Wing Replacement Program with additional structural assemblies and subsystem installations and also spare main landing gear door assemblies. These orders have increased the value of our contract with Boeing to approximately $81 million, of which we have received $15.6 million of orders to date.
  • We received three purchase orders from Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation with a combined value of approximately $2.6 million: for the S-70B® SEAHAWK® helicopter to provide Penguin Missile Launcher assemblies; for the MH-53 and CH-53 variant helicopters to provide rotary wing head ring assemblies; and, for the MH-53E “Sea Dragon” helicopter to provide tow assemblies.
  • The U.S. Air Force released a new order under our C-5 TOP contract for a variety of panels and spoilers valued at approximately $1.5 million. Orders under this program have totaled $32.1 million since the inception of the contract.

Mr. Fred added, “We look forward to additional new orders from existing contracts as well as from the unawarded solicitations of approximately $288 million on which we have bid.”

Reaffirms Long-Term Guidance

Mr. Fred added, “We are again reaffirming our long-term guidance which is based on our expectation that our three major long-term production programs (A-10, E-2D and G650) will be in full scale production and producing consistent significant revenue during 2011. For 2011 we expect that revenue will be in the range of $78 million to $81 million, with resulting net income in the range of $8.9 million to $9.5 million. Using 2008 as the baseline, we expect a three-year compound annual growth rate for revenue in the range of 30% to 35%, with a resulting compound annual growth rate for net income in the range of 50% to 60%.”

Raises $3.5 Million through Registered Direct Offering

Mr. Fred concluded, “As previously announced, in the second quarter of 2010 we completed a registered direct offering raising $3.5 million in net proceeds through the sale of 500,000 shares of our common stock. As a result, we strengthened our financial position in preparation for continued growth and enhanced the potential liquidity of our stock.”
