Hello, and good afternoon to everyone. Thank you for joining us. Fiscal 2027 first quarter consolidated revenue was $9.1 million, 23% higher when compared to $7.4 million in the fiscal 2026 first quarter. Consolidated gross profit totaled $1.4 million or 36% higher when compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2026, primarily due to higher revenue and gross margin. Fiscal 2027 first quarter Ranor revenue was $5.5 million, 27% higher when compared to the prior year first quarter results. Fiscal 2027 first quarter revenue at Stadco increased by 22% to $4.1 million as we executed on our strategy to improve both customer project mix and gross margin expansion. We remain highly focused on aggressive daily cash management, a critical piece of risk mitigation. We continue to manage and control expenses, capital expenditures, customer advances, progress billings and final invoicing at shipment. Our tactical execution focus and success enables us to continuously resecure strategic customer confidence at both subsidiaries. Our Ranor segment continues to execute and install new equipment, funded by the $24 million plus in grants from our U.S. Navy submarine programs-related customers. This sustained cadence of new equipment procurement, delivery and installation is enabling and will continue to enable a reliable, robust and resilient manufacturing capacity dedicated to submarine programs at Ranor. At both Stadco and Ranor, our air defense and submarine defense customers have expressed their strong confidence as we continue to maintain on-time delivery of quality components. With strong customer confidence, both subsidiaries continue to experience meaningful new capture of business awards from these same customers, adding to our strong $52 million backlog. This $52 million only includes the funded portions of customer purchase orders with an additional approximately $22 million of unfunded purchase orders. In addition, our delivery performance is leading both Stadco and Ranor to new quoting opportunities in air defense and submarine defense sectors. The quoting opportunities are twofold with the same customers that already know and trust our capabilities and with new customers in the air and submarine defense sectors. New quoting opportunities enhance our potential to improve our throughput. For first articles and new work scopes, we are mindful of the uncertainty around the development and prove-out of the manufacturing approach and the fabrication and machining execution. From time to time, when necessary, we submit pricing adjustment requests, and equitable adjustments are adjudicated and approved by our customers. Regarding our backlog, we expect to deliver our $52 million backlog over the course of the next 1 to 3 fiscal years with gross margin expansion. We remain on track to meeting our fiscal year 2027 guidance provided in June 2026. I will now turn the call over to our Chief Financial Officer, Phil Podgorski, to continue with the review of our fiscal 2027 first quarter results. Phil, to you. Phillip Podgorski: Thank you, Alex. As Alex just mentioned, our fiscal 2027 first quarter consolidated revenue increased by 23% to $9.1 million compared to $7.4 million in the same period a year ago, driven on higher revenue at both Ranor and Stadco. Consolidated cost of revenue increased by 21%, in line with our revenue growth, resulting in consolidated gross profit increase of $400,000 in Q1 fiscal 2027 to $1.4 million, primarily due to higher revenue at both segments. Consolidated SG&A decreased by 3% to $1.4 million, primarily on a decrease in professional fees and services. Interest expense decreased by 21% due to lower interest incurred on our loans as well as lower amortization of debt issuance costs. Net loss was approximately $153,000 for the first quarter, or $0.02 per share on both a basic and fully diluted basis. Moving on to our financial position. As Alex mentioned, we continue to actively manage our cash flow daily. Net cash flow provided by operating and investment activities totaled $1.9 million for the 3 months ended June 30, 2026. Net cash used in financing activities totaled $2 million, primarily to pay down principal under the revolver loan and term loans. As a result, our total debt was $5 million even on June 30, 2026, compared to $7 million on March 31, 2026. Cash balance on June 30 was $279,000, compared to $431,000 on March 31. Now taking a little deeper dive into the segment performance for the quarter. For Ranor, first quarter revenue was higher by $1.2 million year-over-year, or 27% increase, primarily driven by favorable project mix. The revenue increase resulted in $1.6 million of gross profit for the quarter. For Stadco, Q1 fiscal 2027 revenue increased by $700,000, or 22% increase compared to the same period last year as we continue to execute on our strategic project mix change at Stadco. Stadco experienced Q1 year-over-year gross margin improvement as gross profit increased by $300,000 or 65% improvement, mainly due to higher revenue and throughput improvement. As Alex mentioned, we continue to actively work with our customers to reduce the wait times and improve throughput. With that, I will turn it back to Alex. Alexander Shen: In closing, for those on the call who may not be very familiar with our company, TechPrecision is a custom manufacturer of precision large-scale fabricated components and precision large-scale machined metal structural components. The components that we manufacture are customer-designed. We sell to customers in 2 main industry sectors, defense and precision industrial markets, predominantly defense. We do most of our work in industries that are highly sensitive to confidentiality, which preclude us from speaking publicly about many things that a company not operating in TechPrecision's specific environment might discuss. Please understand there are real limits as to what I can discuss, and sometimes those limits do change. TechPrecision is proud and honored to serve the United States defense industry, specifically naval submarine manufacturing through our Ranor subsidiary and military aircraft manufacturing through our Stadco subsidiary. We aim to secure and maintain enduring partnerships with our customers. As noted earlier, the total of completely funded grant money of more than $24 million from our U.S. Navy submarine programs reflects this strong partnership. This commitment represents more than 50% of TechPrecision's market cap of $48 million. Overall, at both Ranor and Stadco, we continue to see meaningful opportunities in the defense sector as evidenced by the strength of our backlog. We are encouraged by the prospects for growing our revenue and increasing profitability in future quarters. We are showing progress. We have more work to do with our Stadco subsidiary to get into the black. We are targeting to build and sustain a trend. Operator, please open the line for Q&A. Operator: [Operator Instructions] Your first question is coming from Ross Taylor from ARS Investment Partners. Ross Taylor: Well, first, congratulations, gentlemen. I cannot remember a time when you actually reported your earnings before the last date required. So I think it's a big change and part of the shift in direction in the company. Could you talk about -- last call, we talked about the -- getting a handle on the parts and programs that were costing you money at Stadco. Can you give us an update on where we stand with regard to have we made any progress on taking contracts or parts of contracts that were losing money and turn them into breakeven or profitable in the last quarter? Alexander Shen: We have made great progress. It's good to be able to say this with some facts behind us. Yes. I'm not going to be able to pinpoint the specific programs, but it's not just one program, Ross. It's across the board. We continue to take a look at what our manufacturing costs and our approach is and see where from time to time, we do go back to the customer and look for -- look to submit price adjustments. And when they're warranted and adjudicated as such, they do come back with resolution in our favor. And that has happened well the last quarter. Ross Taylor: When you look at the kind of the percentage of business or the business you do at Stadco, what percentage do you think is operating under this impingement in this kind of environment? Alexander Shen: Now? Ross Taylor: Yes. Alexander Shen: After we got done through scouring everything, I think it's -- well, it's definitely less than 50%. I don't know that I can put a percentage number on there because the mix tends to change quarter-to-quarter. I think on our new orders that we secure other than new first articles and new work scopes that are added to current orders, the new orders coming in, we're pretty focused on making sure we really work with our customers much closer so they understand, hey, there's a lot of development, manufacturing development work in this new contract you've given us. Phil on his side is providing financial oversight early. On our side, from the quoting stage all the way through to execution and delivery, we've put in gates so that we see where we're at with these gates. So when we reach a certain milestone with the customer on a project -- on a new project, especially, that's the time to gauge, not wait until the end. And really, it starts off with a quoting process that has more rigor in it that we've ever had before, especially the legacy Stadco. So I think as we correct the contracts that are the legacy and the new ones really have a lot more rigor in them built in from the very beginning. I'm not trying to avoid answering your question on percentage. It's just hard to pinpoint a percent. I think it's more characterized by the new contracts, they're getting a lot of scrutiny before the pricing submitted. And even after the pricing submitted, there are things that we put in place to mitigate our risk. Phillip Podgorski: And I think I'll add to that, too, Alex, that Alex talked about the quoting process. And as we hit milestones reviewing, we have now a robust estimate-to-complete process in place that's going to help us avoid any surprises and get back to the customer much earlier than what we've had in the past. So it will help us identify and address any issues, particularly on first articles as we move forward. So positive improvement in the process as well. Ross Taylor: Yes. And so it seems like part of the problem has been is older contracts, as those older contracts roll off or are addressed, we should be looking at a situation where there are fewer and fewer parts numbers that you produce at Stadco that have losses. And eventually, that should go other than first articles because we understand the difficult nature of first articles. But that as we push forward, then we should really be seeing fewer and fewer drags on performance out of Stadco as the parts -- the older contracts roll off and are replaced by newer contracts. Correct? Alexander Shen: Yes, that is correct, and that's the goal and what we're driving toward. Absolutely correct. Ross Taylor: Okay. Is part of the problem then that the quality of work you're receiving because at times, you received my understanding or having long ago walked through Ranor's facility, some stuff comes to you partially worked or in my words, partially worked and you have to finish it, you have to take it from a mildly worked lump of metal and turn it into something actually meaningful. Is part of the problem that you -- the work that comes to you has been substandard? Alexander Shen: That definitely is part of the problem, yes. Absolutely. That -- not by itself is the problem, but that contributes to problems because it interrupts our manufacturing, the plan doesn't go accordingly. We didn't expect -- let's just talk about some specifics on metal, some metals formed by castings. Castings have inherent porosity that process is subject to it. So when that happens and you have expected porosity in unexpected places, that causes a blip. And sometimes the blip turns into it needs to go on hold and wait for material disposition by our client side. Ross Taylor: Which increases cost and reduces efficiency. So it basically hits you 2 ways when that happens. Alexander Shen: Absolutely. We're addressing each one of those with each of the customers as well. So... Ross Taylor: Can you talk about your ability to bringing in new business customers? I mean, you've talked about how satisfied they are with your work efforts. Have you -- are you finding them bringing you more work? It seems that in this situation where the primes and the subprimes are struggling to use their limited resources that they might be eager to push more work toward you so that you can effectively make their job easier, both in Ranor and Stadco. Are you finding that? Alexander Shen: Yes, we are. And thank you for asking the question. This is something I did want to find a way to expand on during our discussion during the Q&A. Because we are performing successfully with the contracts that we have and by and large, delivering on-time quality components, that confidence level translates not only into more POs on stuff that we have repeated in the past that we're still competing for every time. But new quotes are hitting us from 2 ways. One is the very same customers that are confident in us. But there's new customers that also want to try a piece of the pie. We have certain capabilities, and we are becoming known for those capabilities, the ability to deliver, for example, there's electron beam welding capability at Stadco. Not everybody has that capability, not every fabrication house, very few fabrication houses, as a matter of fact, has that capability and the size of the electron beam welding unit that we have. What happens is we got new quotes. We got a lot of new quotes. It's not like we can land every single new quote, perhaps for every double-digit handful of quotes, 10 to 12 to 15, perhaps we can land 1 or 2 of those. But if we don't do any new quoting for those parts, we'll certainly not get any. But we are being given opportunities. We are actively searching and making sure we ask for the opportunity to quote more business with our current cadre of customers that trust us, but also the ones that are perhaps adjacent or competitors with our current customers. We're getting some traction, and we are getting -- well, let's first deal with one thing. We want to improve our throughput. So as we talked just a little bit earlier, Ross, with you just now on interruptions, how some customer-furnished material might have defects. Okay. Well, we need stuff in the background to fill the gap. And that's really working quite nicely. We have quotes that are turning into business and new awards of new parts. And those do have a tendency to fill in the gap when it coincides and the mix is right. We've started to experience some of that. It's very encouraging. And yes, so to answer your question in a long-winded fashion, we are seeing new opportunities, both from the current customer set and some new customers as well. Ross Taylor: Okay. And we talked last call about the potential you've seen and you highlighted the money that's been given to you by whether it's the government or the primes to help out build capacity at Ranor. And we talked about the potential for that at Stadco. Has any progress been made? Are you seeing any shifts in that side where -- I mean, it strikes me as quite honestly an editorial comment with the U.S. Air Force looking at possibly replacing the F-15E with the EX as well as a much bigger EX build, the fact that we are selling the advanced air-to-air missile, I think the 130 to Australia, which would make sense that they move away from their current platform to perhaps a more robust platform, perhaps like an EX. You need to really meaningfully increase production. The Air Force probably needs to go from 24 to 48 or more aircraft a year. Have you seen any willingness or any interest in people like Boeing or Sikorsky or others to provide the capital needed or the equipment needed for you to meaningfully increase production? Alexander Shen: We are in active pursuit aggressively from our side to the customers. I think that I have a clamp put on me on how much I can speak about it. So I think that in itself is going to answer your question as in the incremental progress is being made, and I'm not at a point to speak of it yet. But I think that's an answer in itself because if there was nothing going on, I would tell you that there's something going on that I can't really talk about on the specifics. Yes. So we're making progress. That's what I can tell you. The progress is not visible yet. So hopefully soon. Ross Taylor: But we could see that. And look, I think it is. It's quite clear that you guys have turned a corner. You've gained a level of confidence you haven't had as a business in a long time. And I think that's starting to show in the back-to-back $9 million-plus quarters in revenues sets a strong base. And hopefully, we'll see you guys start to meaningfully break into the free cash flow positive level. Along those lines, I would like to say one thing is when your stock sells for less than a latte, it would be really nice to see insiders buy stock. You had 2 directors sell stock years ago at $7, $8 a share, I think. I haven't seen an insider buy stock since Hector was a pup. So it would be really nice to see some people show support for the business. As I said, literally, I think it probably costs you more to get your coffee in the morning than to buy a share of stock. So it'd be really nice to see -- starting to see some releases talking about Board members and senior management members actually buying stock. Alexander Shen: Okay. Right. Agreed. Ross Taylor: And congratulations on getting the release out early and also even though you dropped it into a day when I have 5 calls at the same time. But on top of that, the progress you guys have made in the last couple of quarters, both financially, but even more importantly, I think, culturally and how you come to the Street is really important and is really appreciated. Operator: Thank you. That concludes our Q&A session. I will now hand the conference back to management for closing remarks. Please go ahead. Alexander Shen: Thank you very much, everyone. Have a great day.

Moby
Our analysts just identified a stock with the potential to be the next Nvidia. Tell us how you invest and we'll show you why it's our #1 pick. Tap here. Consolidated revenue growth of 23% was driven by favorable project mix at Ranor and strategic throughput improvements at Stadco. The Ranor segment is actively installing new equipment funded by over $24 million in U.S. Navy grants, creating a resilient manufacturing capacity dedicated to submarine programs. Management is executing a tactical focus on aggressive daily cash management to mitigate risk and resecure strategic customer confidence. Stadco's 22% revenue increase reflects a deliberate shift in customer project mix aimed at expanding gross margins and improving operational throughput. Strong delivery performance in air and submarine defense sectors is generating new quoting opportunities with both legacy and new customers. The company utilizes pricing adjustment requests and equitable adjustments to mitigate uncertainty associated with first-article development and new work scopes. Management expects to deliver the $52 million funded backlog over the next one to three fiscal years with anticipated gross margin expansion. The company remains on track to meet the fiscal year 2027 guidance previously provided in June 2026. Strategic focus at Stadco remains centered on transitioning the subsidiary into the black by replacing legacy contracts with higher-rigor new awards. Future profitability is expected to benefit from the sustained cadence of new equipment procurement and installation at the Ranor facility. Total debt was reduced to $5 million as of June 30, 2026, down from $7 million in the prior quarter, following aggressive principal repayments. The $24 million in Navy grants represents more than 50% of the company's current market capitalization, highlighting the strategic importance of the partnership. Operational risks include inherent material defects in customer-furnished castings, which can cause manufacturing delays and require material disposition by clients. Confidentiality requirements in the defense sector limit management's ability to disclose specific program details or customer identities. One stock.

Management reported 'great progress' across multiple programs, noting that loss-impinged business is now definitely less than 50% of the mix. New quoting processes include increased rigor and financial oversight gates to identify manufacturing development risks before pricing is submitted. The company implemented a robust 'estimate-to-complete' process to avoid surprises on first-article components and address issues earlier in the cycle. Successful delivery performance has led to new quotes from both current customers and adjacent competitors interested in specialized capabilities like large-scale electron beam welding. Management is using new business awards to fill manufacturing gaps caused by interruptions in customer-furnished materials. While the conversion rate for new quotes is approximately 1 or 2 out of every 10-15, the increased volume is critical for improving overall throughput. Management confirmed they are in 'active pursuit aggressively' of capital support from major primes or the government, similar to the grants received at Ranor. The CEO declined to provide specific details due to disclosure restrictions but indicated that 'incremental progress is being made' behind the scenes.

We've established milestone gates to gauge performance early, rather than waiting until the end of a project. Q: Are you seeing customers bring more work to you given your strong performance and their limited resources? A: Alex Shen, CEO: Yes, we are. Our successful on-time delivery of quality components has built strong customer confidence, leading to more purchase orders and new quoting opportunities. We're receiving quotes from both existing customers and new customers in the air and submarine defense sectors. For example, our electron beam welding capability at Stadco is unique, attracting new business. While we may land one or two out of every 10-15 quotes, these new opportunities help fill gaps caused by interruptions like defective customer-furnished materials. Q: Have you made any progress on securing capital or equipment from customers like Boeing or Sikorsky to meaningfully increase production at Stadco, similar to the grants received at Raynor? A: Alex Shen, CEO: We are in active pursuit aggressively with our customers. I have a clamp on how much I can speak about it, but the fact that I can't discuss specifics indicates that incremental progress is being made. If there was nothing going on, I would tell you that. The progress is not visible yet, but hopefully soon. Q: Can you elaborate on the financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2027? A: Philip Hankoski, CFO: Consolidated revenue increased 23% to $9.1 million, driven by higher revenue at both Raynor and Stadco. Gross profit increased by $400,000 to $1.4 million. SG&A decreased 3% to $1.4 million, and interest expense decreased 21%. Net loss was approximately $153,000, or $0.02 per share. Total debt was reduced to $5 million from $7 million, and cash balance was $279,000. Q: How did the segments perform individually in the first quarter? A: Philip Hankoski, CFO: Raynor revenue increased 27% year-over-year to $5.5 million, driven by favorable project mix, resulting in $1.6 million of gross profit. Stadco revenue increased 22% to $4.1 million, with gross profit improving by 65% due to higher revenue and throughput improvement. Q: Is part of the problem at Stadco related to the quality of work received from customers, such as partially worked materials or defective castings? A: Alex Shen, CEO: Yes, that definitely contributes to the problem. For example, castings have inherent porosity that can appear in unexpected places, causing interruptions in our manufacturing plan. This can lead to holds while waiting for material disposition from the client, which increases costs and reduces efficiency. We are addressing each of these issues with our customers. Q: As older contracts roll off, should we expect fewer drags on performance at Stadco? A: Philip Hankoski, CFO: Yes, that is correct. That's the goal we are driving towards. We now have a robust estimate-to-complete process in place that will help us avoid surprises and address issues earlier, particularly on first articles, leading to improved performance as legacy contracts are replaced by newer, more rigorously priced ones.

FY2027 Q1 earnings call transcript

Earnings source - 58 paragraphs
Operator

Greetings, and welcome to the TechPrecision Corporation Fiscal Year 2027 first quarter earnings call. At this time, all participants are on a listen-only mode. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. It is now my pleasure to introduce your host, Mr. Brett Maas, Managing Director of Hayden IR. Thank you, sir. You may begin.

Brett Maas

Thank you. On the call today are Alex Shen, Chief Executive Officer, and Phil Podgorski, Chief Financial Officer. Before we begin, I'd like to remind our listeners that management's remarks may contain forward-looking statements which are subject to the risks and uncertainties, and management may make additional forward-looking statements in response to your questions. Therefore, the company claims the protection of the safe harbor from forward-looking statements and as contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ from those discussed today, and therefore we refer you to a more detailed discussion of risks and uncertainties in the company's financial filings with the SEC. In addition, projections as to the company's future performance represents management's estimates as of today, August 13, 2026. TechPrecision assumes no obligation to revise or update these forward-looking statements.

Brett Maas

With that out of the way, I'd like to turn the call over to Alex Shen, Chief Executive Officer, to provide opening remarks. Alex, the floor is yours.

Alex Shen

Brett, thank you. Hello, and good afternoon to everyone. Thank you for joining us. Fiscal 2027 first quarter consolidated revenue was $9.1 million, 23% higher when compared to $7.4 million in the fiscal 2026 first quarter. Consolidated gross profit totaled $1.4 million, or 36% higher when compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2026, primarily due to higher revenue and gross margin. Fiscal 2027 first quarter Ranor revenue was $5.5 million, 27% higher when compared to the prior year first quarter results. Fiscal 2027 first quarter revenue at Stadco increased by 22% to $4.1 million as we executed on our strategy to improve both customer project mix and gross margin expansion. We remain highly focused on aggressive daily cash management, a critical piece of risk mitigation. We continue to manage and control expenses, capital expenditures, customer advances, progress billings, and final invoicing at shipment.

Alex Shen

Our tactical execution focus and success enables us to continuously resecure strategic customer confidence at both subsidiaries. Our Ranor segment continues to execute and install new equipment funded by the $24 million-plus in grants from our U.S. Navy submarine programs-related customers. This sustained cadence of new equipment procurement, delivery, and installation is enabling, and will continue to enable, a reliable, robust, and resilient manufacturing capacity dedicated to submarine programs at Ranor. At both Stadco and Ranor, our air defense and submarine defense customers have expressed their strong confidence as we continue to maintain on-time delivery of quality components. With strong customer confidence, both subsidiaries continue to experience meaningful new capture of business awards from these same customers, adding to our strong $52 million backlog. This $52 million only includes the funded portions of customer purchase orders, with an additional approximately $22 million of unfunded purchase orders.

Alex Shen

In addition, our delivery performance is leading both Stadco and Ranor to new quoting opportunities in air defense and submarine defense sectors. The quoting opportunities are twofold. With the same customers that already know and trust our capabilities and with new customers in the air and submarine defense sectors. New quoting opportunities enhance our potential to improve our throughput. For first articles and new work scopes, we are mindful of the uncertainty around the development and prove-out of the manufacturing approach and the fabrication and machining execution. From time to time, when necessary, we submit pricing adjustment requests, and equitable adjustments are adjudicated and approved by our customers. Regarding our backlog, we expect to deliver our $52 million backlog over the course of the next one to three fiscal years with gross margin expansion. We remain on track to meeting our fiscal year 2027 guidance provided in June 2026.

Alex Shen

I will now turn the call over to our Chief Financial Officer, Phil Podgorski, to continue with the review of our fiscal 2027 first quarter results. Phil, to you.

Phil Podgorski

Thank you, Alex. As Alex just mentioned, our fiscal 2027 first quarter consolidated revenue increased by 23% to $9.1 million, compared to $7.4 million in the same period a year ago. Driven on higher revenue at both Ranor and Stadco. Consolidated cost of revenue increased by 21%, in line with our revenue growth, resulting in consolidated gross profit increase of $400,000 in Q1 fiscal 2027 to $1.4 million, primarily due to higher revenue at both segments. Consolidated SG&A decreased by 3% to $1.4 million, primarily on a decrease in professional fees and services. Interest expense decreased by 21% due to lower interest incurred on our loans, as well as lower amortization of debt issuance costs. Net loss was approximately $153,000 for the first quarter, or $0.02 per share on both a basic and fully diluted basis. Moving on to our financial position.

Phil Podgorski

As Alex mentioned, we continue to actively manage our cash flow daily. Net cash flow provided by operating and investment activities totaled $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30th, 2026. Net cash used in financing activities totaled $2 million, primarily to pay down principal under the revolver loan and term loans. As a result, our total debt was $5 million even on June 30th, 2026, compared to $7 million on March 31st, 2026. Cash balance on June 30th was $279,000 compared to $431,000 on March 31st. Now, taking a little deeper dive into the segment performance for the quarter. For Ranor, first quarter revenue was higher by $1.2 million year-over-year, or 27% increase, primarily driven by favorable project mix. The revenue increase resulted in $1.6 million of gross profit for the quarter.

Phil Podgorski

For Stadco, Q1 fiscal 2027 revenue increased by $700,000 or 22% increase compared to the same period last year, as we continue to execute on our strategic project mix change at Stadco. Stadco experienced Q1 year-over-year gross margin improvement as gross profit increased by $300,000 or 65% improvement, mainly due to higher revenue and throughput improvement. As Alex mentioned, we continue to actively work with our customers to reduce the wait times and improve throughput. With that, I will turn it back to Alex.

Alex Shen

In closing, for those on the call who may not be very familiar with our company, TechPrecision is a custom manufacturer of precision large-scale fabricated components and precision large-scale machined metal structural components. The components that we manufacture are customer designed. We sell to customers in two main industry sectors, defense and precision industrial markets, predominantly defense. We do most of our work in industries that are highly sensitive to confidentiality, which preclude us from speaking publicly about many things that a company not operating in TechPrecision's specific environment might discuss. Please understand there are real limits as to what I can discuss, and sometimes those limits do change. TechPrecision is proud and honored to serve the U.S. defense industry, specifically naval submarine manufacturing through our Ranor subsidiary, and military aircraft manufacturing through our Stadco subsidiary. We aim to secure and maintain enduring partnerships with our customers.

Alex Shen

As noted earlier, the total of completely funded grant money of more than $24 million from our U.S. Navy submarine programs reflects this strong partnership. This commitment represents more than 50% of TechPrecision's market cap of $48 million. Overall, at both Ranor and Stadco, we continue to see meaningful opportunities in the defense sector, as evidenced by the strength of our backlog. We are encouraged by the prospects for growing our revenue and increasing profitability in future quarters. We are showing progress. We have more work to do with our Stadco subsidiary to get into the black. We are targeting to build and sustain a trend. Operator, please open the line for Q&A.

Operator

Certainly. Everyone at this time will be conducting a question-and-answer session. If you have any questions or comments, please press star one on your phone at this time. We do ask that while posing your question, please pick up your handset if you're listening on speakerphone to provide optimum sound quality. Once again, if you have any questions or comments, please press star one on your phone. Your first question is coming from Ross Taylor from ARS Investment Partners. Your line is live.

Ross Taylor

Thank you. Well, first, congratulations, gentlemen. I cannot remember a time when you actually reported your earnings before the last date required. I think it's a big change and part of the shift in direction in the company.

Alex Shen

Thank you.

Ross Taylor

Could you talk about Last call, we talked about getting a handle on the parts and the programs that were costing you money at Stadco. Can you give us an update on where we stand with regard to have we made any progress on taking contracts or parts of contracts that were losing money and turned them into break even or profitable in the last quarter?

Alex Shen

We have made great progress. It's good to be able to say this with some facts behind us. Yes. I'm not going to be able to pinpoint the specific programs, but it's not just one program, Ross. It's across the board. We continue to take a look at what our manufacturing costs and our approach is and see where from time to time we do go back to the customer and look to submit price adjustments. When they're warranted and adjudicated as such, they do come back with resolution in our favor. That has happened well the last quarter.

Ross Taylor

When you look at the kind of the percentage of business or the business you do at Stadco, what percentage do you think is operating under this impingement in this kind of environment?

Alex Shen

Now?

Ross Taylor

Yeah.

Alex Shen

After we got done through scouring everything, I think it's definitely less than 50%. I don't know that I can put a percentage number on there, because the mix tends to change quarter to quarter. I think on our new orders that we secure, other than new first articles and new work scopes that are added to current orders, the new orders coming in, we're pretty focused on making sure we really work with our customers much closer so they understand, hey, there's a lot of development, manufacturing development work in this new contract you've given us. Phil, on his side, is providing financial oversight early. On our side, from the quoting stage all the way through to execution and delivery, we've put in gates so that we see where we're at with these gates.

Alex Shen

When we reach a certain milestone with the customer on a project, on a new project, especially, that is the time to gauge, not wait till the end. It really starts off with a quoting process that has more rigor in it that we have ever had before, especially the legacy Stadco. I think as we correct the contracts that are the legacy and the new ones really have a lot more rigor in them built in from the very beginning.

Ross Taylor

Okay.

Alex Shen

I am not trying to avoid answering your question on percentage. It is just hard to pinpoint a percent. I think it is more characterized by the new contracts. They are getting a lot of scrutiny before the pricing submitted, and even after the pricing submitted, there are things that we put in place to mitigate our risk.

Phil Podgorski

I will add to that, too, Alex.

Alex Shen

Yes, please.

Phil Podgorski

Alex talked about the quoting process, and as we hit milestones, reviewing. We have now a robust estimate to complete process in place that's going to help us avoid any surprises and get back to the customer much earlier than what we've had in the past. It will help us identify and address any issues, particularly on first articles, as we move forward. Positive improvement in the process as well.

Ross Taylor

Yeah. It seems like part of the problem has been is older contracts, and as those older contracts roll off or are addressed, we should be looking at a situation where there are fewer and fewer parts numbers that you produce at Stadco that have losses, and eventually that should go, other than first articles, because we understand the difficulty and nature of first articles. But as we push forward, then we should really be seeing fewer and fewer drags on performance out of Stadco as the parts, the older contracts roll off and are replaced by newer contracts. Correct?

Phil Podgorski

Yes, that is correct, and that's the goal and what we're driving towards. Absolutely correct.

Ross Taylor

Okay. Is part of the problem then that the quality of work you're receiving, because at times you received, my understanding or having long ago walked through Ranor's facility, some stuff comes to you partially worked or, in my words, partially worked, and you have to finish it. You have to take it from a mildly worked lump of metal and turn it into something actually meaningful. Is part of the problem that the work that comes to you has been substandard?

Alex Shen

That definitely is part of the problem, yes. Absolutely.

Ross Taylor

Okay.

Alex Shen

That, not by itself is the problem, but that contributes to-

Ross Taylor

It could be.

Alex Shen

Problems because it interrupts our manufacturing. The plan doesn't go accordingly. We didn't expect. Let's just talk about some specifics on metal. Some metal is formed by castings. Castings have inherent porosity that process is subject to it. When that happens, and you have unexpected porosity in unexpected places, that causes a blip, and sometimes the blip turns into it needs to go on hold and wait for material disposition by our client side. Yes.

Ross Taylor

Which increases cost and reduces efficiency. It basically hits you two ways when that happens.

Alex Shen

Absolutely.

Ross Taylor

Yep.

Alex Shen

Yep. We're addressing each one of those with each of the customers as well.

Ross Taylor

Okay. Can you talk about your ability to bringing in new business, your customers, you've talked about how satisfied they are with your work efforts. Are you finding them bringing you more work? It seems that in this situation where the primes and the sub-primes are struggling to use their limited resources, that they might be eager to push more work towards you, so that you can effectively make their job easier, both in Ranor and Stadco. Are you finding that?

Alex Shen

Yes, we are, and thank you for asking the question. This is something I did want to find a way to expand on during our discussion during the Q&A. Because we are performing successfully with the contracts that we have, and by and large, delivering on-time quality components, that confidence level translates not only into more POs on stuff that we have repeated in the past, that we're still competing for every time. New quotes are hitting us from two ways. One is the very same customers that are confident in us, but there's new customers that also want to try a piece of the pie. We have certain capabilities, and we are becoming known for those capabilities, the ability to deliver, for example, there's electron beam welding capability at Stadco. Not everybody has that capability.

Alex Shen

Not every fabrication house, very few fabrication houses, as a matter of fact, have that capability and the size of the electron beam welding unit that we have. What happens is, we got new quotes. We got a lot of new quotes. It is not like we can land every single new quote, perhaps for every double-digit handful of quotes, 10 to 12 to 15, perhaps we can land one or two of those. But if we do not do any new quoting for those parts, we will certainly not get any. We are being given opportunities. We are actively searching and making sure we ask for the opportunity to quote more business with our current cadre of customers that trust us, but also the ones that are perhaps adjacent or competitors with our current customers.

Alex Shen

We are getting some traction, and we are getting, well, let us first deal with one thing. We want to improve our throughput. As we talked just a little bit earlier, Ross, with you just now on interruptions, how some customer furnished material might have defects. Okay. We need stuff in the background to fill the gap. That is really working quite nicely. We have quotes that are turning into business and new awards of new parts, and those do have a tendency to fill in the gap when it coincides and the mix is right. We have started to experience some of that. It is very encouraging. Yes. To answer your question in a long-winded fashion, we are seeing new opportunities, both from the current customer set and some new customers as well.

Ross Taylor

Okay. We talked last call about the potential you have seen, and you highlighted the money that has been given to you by, whether it is the government or the primes, to help out build capacity at Ranor. We talked about the potential for that at Stadco. Has any progress been made? Are you seeing any shifts in that side, where it strikes me as, quite honestly, an editorial comment, with the U.S. Air Force looking at possibly replacing the F-15E with the F-15EX, as well as a much bigger F-15EX build. The fact that we are selling the advanced air-to-air missile, but I think the C-130 to Australia, which would make sense that they move away from their current platform to perhaps a more robust platform, perhaps like an F-15EX. You need to really meaningfully increase production.

Ross Taylor

The Air Force probably needs to go from 24-48 or more aircraft a year. Have you seen any willingness or any interest in people like Boeing or Sikorsky or others to provide the capital needed or the equipment needed for you to meaningfully increase production?

Alex Shen

We are in active pursuit aggressively from our side to the customers. I think I have a clamp put on me on how much I can speak about it. So, I think that in itself is going to answer your question as in the incremental progress is being made, and I'm not at a point to speak of it yet. But I think that's an answer in itself, because if there was nothing going on, I would tell you that. There's something going on that I can't really talk about on the specifics. Yes. So, we're making progress. That's what I can tell you.

Phil Podgorski

The progress is not visible yet. So hopefully soon.

Ross Taylor

But we could see that. Okay, I think it's quite clear that you guys have turned a corner. You've gained a level of confidence you haven't had as a business in a long time, and I think that's starting to show in the back-to-back $9 million plus quarters in revenues sets a strong base, and hopefully we'll see you guys start to meaningfully break into the free cash flow positive level. Along those lines, I would like to say one thing is, when your stock sells for less than a latte, it would be really nice to see insiders buy stock. You had two directors sell stock years ago at $7, $8 a share, I think. I haven't seen an insider buy stock since Hector was a pup, so it'd be really nice to see some people show support for the business.

Ross Taylor

As I said, literally, I think it probably costs you more to get your coffee in the morning than to buy a share of stock. So, it'd be really nice to starting to see some releases talking about board members and senior management members actually buying stock.

Alex Shen

All right. Agreed. Thank you.

Ross Taylor

Okay. Thank you very much, and congratulations on getting the release out early. Even though you dropped it into a day when I have five calls at the same time.

Alex Shen

Sorry about that.

Ross Taylor

But on top of that, the progress you guys have made in the last couple of quarters, both financially, but even more importantly, I think culturally and how you come to the street is really important and is really appreciated.

Alex Shen

Thank you, Ross.

Phil Podgorski

Thank you.

Ross Taylor

Thank you, gentlemen. Take care.

Operator

Thank you. That concludes our Q&A session. I will now hand the conference back to management for closing remarks. Please go ahead.

Alex Shen

Thank you very much, everyone. Have a great day.

TechPrecision Corporation Q4 2026 Earnings Call Summary

Moby
Our analysts just identified a stock with the potential to be the next Nvidia. Tell us how you invest and we'll show you why it's our #1 pick. Tap here. Consolidated revenue for Q4 2026 declined 15% to $8.1 million due to lower revenue at both the Ranor and Stadco segments, with both subsidiaries experiencing delays in receiving customer-furnished materials. Management is executing a strategic pivot at Stadco to shift the project mix away from difficult-to-price 'one-off' projects toward repeat parts on established programs of record. The Ranor segment continues to leverage over $24 million in U.S. Navy grants to install new equipment, creating a dedicated and resilient manufacturing capacity for submarine programs. Operational performance is being hampered by 'legacy anchors'—contracts priced with de-escalation clauses during a period of market inflation—which management is actively working through. Strategic customer confidence remains high despite revenue dips, evidenced by a $52 million funded backlog and an additional $25 million in unfunded purchase orders. The company is prioritizing aggressive daily cash management and expense control to mitigate risks while navigating the final stages of the Stadco turnaround. Management attributes the path to profitability to three pillars: strategic mix change, corrected pricing models, and the replacement of aged equipment. Fiscal year 2027 guidance projects revenue between $35 million and $37 million, with EBITDA expected to double to a range of $3 million to $4 million. The $52 million funded backlog is expected to be delivered over the next one to three fiscal years with anticipated gross margin expansion. Management expects the two remaining loss-making legacy contracts at Stadco to be completed during fiscal 2027, clearing the way for a more profitable project mix. Future capital allocation will focus on a combination of debt reduction and critical equipment investment at Stadco to improve throughput and efficiency. The company is aggressively pursuing additional CapEx assistance in the form of grants from defense customers to expand industrial base capacity without incurring new debt. Stadco's gross profit was significantly impacted by delays in receiving customer-furnished materials and slow customer disposition of non-conformances.

The company is aggressively pursuing additional CapEx assistance in the form of grants from defense customers to expand industrial base capacity without incurring new debt. Stadco's gross profit was significantly impacted by delays in receiving customer-furnished materials and slow customer disposition of non-conformances. The company identified two specific legacy contracts that continue to drag on margins due to poor initial pricing and de-escalation terms; these are in their 'last leg'. TechPrecision operates in highly sensitive defense sectors, which limits the public disclosure of specific project names and technical details. Aged equipment at Stadco is a recognized bottleneck, necessitating either customer-funded grants or internal capital investment to meet future demand. One stock. Nvidia-level potential. 30M+ investors trust Moby to find it first. Get the pick. Tap here. Management admitted the Stadco turnaround is not yet complete but cited 'positive, sustained improvement' that is nearing a break-even trend. The failure to reach profitability earlier was attributed to a mix of one-off projects that were difficult to estimate and legacy contracts with unfavorable pricing terms. The company has successfully renegotiated terms or repriced most contracts, with only two legacy projects remaining to be cleared in fiscal 2027. Management confirmed that major military aircraft programs (alluded to as the F-15EX and CH-53K) are expected to be operationally profitable in fiscal 2027. The transition to repeat parts and corrected pricing is expected to drive this shift to profitability for these specific programs. Management is aggressively requesting CapEx assistance from major defense primes and the government to build out the industrial base. While Ranor has successfully secured $24 million in Navy grants, Stadco is still in the process of seeking similar support to upgrade its aged equipment. The company emphasized that customers must invest in the supplier base to achieve the higher production throughput required for modern defense programs.

"As a result of strategically improved customer and project mix at both business segments, our net loss improved by more than $1.0 million year-over-year with equal EBITDA improvement," stated Alexander Shen, TechPrecision's Chief Executive Officer. "Customer confidence remains high with our funded backlog reaching $52.1 million as of March 31, 2026, with approximately $25 million of additional unfunded purchase orders," Mr. Shen continued. "We expect to deliver this backlog over the next one to three fiscal years with expectations for gross margin improvement throughout the period." "For Fiscal 2027, the Company is projecting double-digit revenue growth and resulting EBITDA as we continue to execute on the strategic customer and project mix plan. 2027 Full year consolidated revenue is projected to be between $35.0 million - $37.0 million with EBITDA of $3.0 million - $4.0 million," stated Alexander Shen, TechPrecision's Chief Executive Officer. The following summary compares the three and twelve months ended March 31, 2026 to the same prior year period: Consolidated Financial Results - Fiscal 2026 Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 Consolidated Financial Results - Fiscal 2026 Twelve Months Ended March 31, 2026 Financial Position On March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $0.4 million and $0.2 million in cash, respectively. Working capital was negative $0.4 million on March 31, 2026 and debt totaled $6.9 million. Working capital was negative $1.6 million and total debt was $7.4 million on March 31, 2025. Negative working capital reflects required classification of all debt obligations as current due to debt covenant violations.

FY2026 Q4 earnings call transcript

Earnings source - 86 paragraphs
Operator

Greetings. Welcome to the TechPrecision Corporation fiscal 2026 Fourth Quarter Earnings Call. At this time, all participants are in listen-only mode. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. It is now my pleasure to introduce your host, Mr. Brett Maas, Managing Director of Hayden IR. Thank you, sir. You may begin.

Brett Maas

Thank you. On the call today is Alexander Shen, Chief Executive Officer, and Phillip Podgorski, Chief Financial Officer. Before we begin, I'd like to remind our listeners that management's remarks may contain forward-looking statements which are subject to risks and uncertainties, and management may make additional forward-looking statements in response to your questions. Therefore, the company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements as contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

In addition, projections as to the company's future performance represents management's estimates as of today, June 22nd, 2026. TechPrecision assumes no obligation to revise or update these forward-looking statements.

Brett Maas

With that out of the way, I'd like to turn the call to Alex Shen, Chief Executive Officer, to provide opening remarks. Alex, the floor is yours.

Alex Shen

Brett, thank you. Good afternoon to everyone. Thank you for joining us. Fiscal year 2026 fourth quarter consolidated revenue was $8.1 million, or 15% lower when compared to $9.5 million in the fiscal year 2025 fourth quarter. Consolidated gross profit totaled $1.1 million, or 47% lower when compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, primarily due to lower revenue and resulting margin drop through at Stadco. Fourth quarter Stadco revenue was $4.2 million with gross profit of $28,000. Two factors drove the low gross profit. One, delays in receiving customer-furnished materials. Two, delays in customer analysis and disposition of non-conformances. We are actively working with our customers to shorten the delays to improve our throughput. Fiscal year 2026 fourth quarter Ranor revenue was $3.9 million, with gross profit of $1.1 million, or 16% lower when compared with the prior year fourth quarter results.

Alex Shen

We continue to strategically improve both our customer and project mix towards gross margin expansion at Stadco. We remain highly focused on aggressive daily cash management, a critical piece of risk mitigation. We continue to manage and control expenses, CapEx, customer advances, progress billings, and final invoicing at shipment. Our tactical execution focus and success enables us to continuously resecure strategic customer confidence at both segments. Our Ranor segment continues to execute and install new equipment funded by the $24 million-plus in grants from our U.S. Navy submarine programs-related customers. This sustained cadence of new equipment procurement, delivery, and installation will enable a reliable, robust, and resilient manufacturing capacity dedicated to submarine programs. At both Stadco and Ranor, our customers have expressed their strong confidence as we continue to maintain on-time delivery of quality components.

Alex Shen

This delivery performance is leading both Stadco and Ranor to new quoting opportunities in air defense and submarine defense sectors with the same customers that already know and trust our capabilities. Both subsidiaries are continuing to experience meaningful new capture of business awards from these same customers, adding to our strong $52 million backlog. This $52 million backlog only includes the funded portions of customer purchase orders with an additional, approximately $25 million additional, of unfunded purchase orders. We expect to deliver this $52 million backlog over the course of the next one to three fiscal years with gross margin expansion. With that said, we are providing guidance for fiscal year 2027. The company is projecting 2027 full year revenue to be $35 million-$37 million. We are projecting EBITDA to be $3 million-$4 million.

Alex Shen

Now, I will turn the call over to our Chief Financial Officer, Phillip Podgorski, to continue with the review of our fourth quarter and 12 months-ended fiscal 2026 results. Phil?

Phillip Podgorski

Thank you, Alex. Good afternoon, everyone. As Alex just mentioned, for our fiscal 2026 fourth quarter, consolidated revenue decreased by 15% to $8.1 million, compared to $9.5 million for the same period a year ago, on lower revenue at both Ranor and Stadco segments. Consolidated cost of revenue decreased by 6%, or $400,000. Consolidated gross profit decreased by $1 million in Q4 2026 to $1.1 million, primarily due to lower revenue at both Ranor and Stadco. Consolidated SG&A decreased by 24% to $1.3 million, primarily on a decrease in professional fees and services. Interest expense decreased by 25% due to lower interest incurred on our loans and lower amortization of debt issuance costs. Our net income was $400,000 for the fourth quarter, or $0.04 per share on a basic and fully diluted basis.

Phillip Podgorski

For the 12 months ended March 31st, 2026, consolidated revenue finished up at $31.6 million, or 7% lower on a different mix in customer projects at both segments. Consolidated cost of revenue was $26.7 million, or $3 million lower than the same period a year ago, on lower revenue and improved strategic customer and project mix. As noted, our improved strategic customer and project mix resulted in increased gross profit of $600,000, or 300 basis point improvement. SG&A decreased by 7% as lower professional fees and office costs more than offset higher compensation and benefits. Consolidated operating loss for the 12 months ended March 31st, 2026, was $1.1 million and decreased year-over-year by 51%, primarily due to higher gross margin and lower SG&A costs, as noted before. Interest expense decreased by 10% on lower interest incurred on debt and lower amortization of debt issuance cost.

Phillip Podgorski

Net loss was $1.6 million, or $0.17 per share on a basic and fully diluted basis. Moving on to our financial position, we continue to actively manage our cash flow, as Alex mentioned. Net cash provided by operating and investment activities totaled $900,000 for the 12 months ended March 31, 2026. Net cash used in financing activities totaled $600,000, primarily to pay down principal under our revolver and term loans. Our debt was $6.9 million as of March 31st, 2026, compared to $7.4 million on March 31st, 2025. Cash on March 31st, 2025, was $431,000 compared to $195,000 on March 31st, 2025. Now, let's dive a little deeper into the segment performance for the fiscal quarter Q4. For Ranor, fourth quarter revenue was down by $800,000 year-over-year, or 16%, primarily driven by delays in receiving customer furnished materials.

Phillip Podgorski

The revenue decline resulted in $1.1 million of gross profit for the quarter. Stadco Q4 fiscal 2026 revenue decreased by $700,000 compared to the same period last year, primarily as we implemented a strategic project mix change at Stadco. Stadco experienced Q4 year-over-year gross margin decline as gross profit decreased by $800,000, mainly due to customer related delays. On one, customer furnished material, and on two, customer analysis and dispositioning of non-conformances, as Alex mentioned. As Alex mentioned, we continue to actively work with our customers to reduce the wait times and improve throughput. With that, I will now turn it back over to Alex.

Alex Shen

Thank you, Phil. In closing, for those on the call who may not be very familiar with our company, TechPrecision is a custom manufacturer of precision large-scale fabricated components and precision large-scale machined metal structural components. These components that we manufacture are customer designed. We sell to customers in two main industry sectors, defense and precision industrial markets, predominantly defense. We do most of our work in industries that are highly sensitive to confidentiality, which preclude us from speaking publicly about many things that a company not operating in TechPrecision's specific environment might discuss. Please understand there are real limits as to what we can discuss, and sometimes those limits do change. TechPrecision is proud and honored to serve the U.S. defense industry. Specifically, naval submarine manufacturing through our Ranor subsidiary and military aircraft manufacturing through our Stadco subsidiary.

Alex Shen

We aim to secure and maintain enduring partnerships with our customers. As noted earlier, the total of completely funded grant money of more than $24 million from our U.S. Navy submarine programs reflects this strong partnership. This commitment represents more than 50% of TechPrecision's market cap. Overall, at both Ranor and Stadco, we continue to see meaningful opportunities in the defense sector, as evidenced by the strength of our backlog. We are very encouraged by the prospects for growing our revenue and increasing profitability in future quarters. We are showing progress. We have more work to do, especially with our Stadco subsidiary, to get into the black. We are targeting to build and sustain a positive trend. Operator, please open the line for Q&A.

A confirmation tone will indicate your line is in the question queue. You may press star two if you would like to remove your question from the queue. For participants using speaker equipment, it may be necessary to pick up your handset before pressing the star keys. One moment please while we poll for questions. Your first question for today is from Ross Taylor with ARS Investment Partners.

Ross Taylor

Thank you very much. First, gentlemen, congratulations on getting to where you can actually and are willing to give guidance. I think that's a huge step, something you guys have never done in the past. Let's focus on the EBITDA. What was 2026 EBITDA? I haven't seen your filings yet, so I haven't been able to pull that out. What was your EBITDA in 2026?

Phillip Podgorski

It was $1.6 million. $1,644 to be exact, Ross.

Ross Taylor

You're expecting to basically take that to $3 million-$4 million. You're looking at, basically, 10%-17% top-line growth and effectively doubling or perhaps better than doubling the EBITDA next year.

Phillip Podgorski

Yeah, that's correct.

Ross Taylor

Running down with some of the uses, you paid down, you said a little over $600,000 in debt. You have about $6.9 million in long-term debt. Would you anticipate that this increase in EBITDA would allow you to make a more meaningful dent on the debt outstanding in the current fiscal year, 2027?

Phillip Podgorski

I think it'll be a combination of investment in equipment as well as paying down the debt. It's critical to invest in Stadco.

Alex Shen

Absolutely.

Phillip Podgorski

It'll make the organization a bit more efficient. We'll have additional throughput as well. A combination of both, Ross.

Ross Taylor

Looking at this, in the past, Alex, you said you've never failed in a turnaround, but Stadco has clearly been, to use one of my father's, who's flew in two wars, phrases, it's been an aileron roll on takeoff. It's not worked at all. We've probably sunk well over $20 million in both purchase price and losses into it. Have you thought about why did that happen?

Alex Shen

Absolutely. Yes, we have.

Ross Taylor

Can you educate us on why that happened and why it's taken so long to get it fixed or getting it fixed? Because it's not fixed yet.

Alex Shen

It's not fixed yet. We do see positive, sustained improvement that is still not reaching where we can start trending in the black. It is positive.

Ross Taylor

Okay.

Alex Shen

That's one thing. One big driver is really, we've alluded to a little bit in our introductions and in our prepared script. Phil and I both talked about a strategic mix change. The mix change, part of what was detrimental to us and causing us to go the wrong way was the mix was a combination of one-offs as well as repeat parts. Those are generalizations, but with one-offs where we don't think that they'll ever repeat again, they are first basically very difficult to understand and estimate correctly. We should make that an exception and not do them as part of what we always do. It's a little bit difficult to do that when we're scrambling for revenue, and part of it also, once we have that type of purchase orders that we're still not done executing, and those turn into legacy anchors that drag us down.

Alex Shen

We've learned our lesson. We're changing the mix. We've been working hard at changing the mix quarter-over-quarter, month-over-month, for the all of fiscal year 2026, and we see decent results, not good enough yet. That alone is not going to bring us to profitability or breakeven. That definitely is a sea change in how this strategic mix is now tilted towards repeat parts on repeat programs and programs of record with the U.S. government. I hope that's clear on that one piece. Phil?

Phillip Podgorski

Yeah. If I could add to that, Alex. Ross, to answer your question a little bit further, some of the things that have been holding us back, I hate to keep using the word legacy, right? We, upon acquisition of this organization, as we were moving through, we did discover that there were a number of contracts that were priced wrong. They were priced with de-escalation on price amidst a market that was escalating. You had asked the question at one other time, how many more of these do we have? Right now, we have two. I'm going to answer it directly. We have two that are remaining. That's it.

Ross Taylor

Okay.

Phillip Podgorski

We've gone through specifically this year and either renegotiated with repricing, new terms, new Ts and Cs. We have two that are hanging out there. They're at their last leg, right? It will carry into fiscal 2027, both of them. We're committed to getting those done, completed, and off. Now from then, it is all new focus. This is where we talk about the strategic mix. Strategic with a sense of repeat products. If we're doing first articles, because we do want to expand the product, right? The number of items, with existing customers primarily. They're going to be priced right at the beginning. Right? So we've been saddled with these legacy. We're nearing that end.

Ross Taylor

Okay. I think of you in Stadco having two-

Alex Shen

Sorry, Ross.

Ross Taylor

Go ahead.

Alex Shen

Could I just finish off the answer to the question? It was in three parts.

Ross Taylor

Certainly. Yes.

Alex Shen

The first part was really the characterization of one-off versus repeat parts.

Ross Taylor

Yes.

Alex Shen

With that, from Phil's standpoint, he was seeing mostly it's very, very difficult to price the one-offs to be anywhere close to reality. If we pay more attention and get out of those and really concentrate and change our mix strategically, it helps us do a much better job and a much more successfully profitable job at pricing if we just concentrate on the ones that are repeat parts that are actually deployed in the field for defense work. It's one-off versus repeat parts. That's one thing. The next thing was very closely related to that, but separate, is pricing. The third piece that we also alluded to a little bit on the usage of cash is aged equipment. How are we going to deploy that? Are we going to pay off debt? Are we going to incur some more debt and spend it on CapEx?

Alex Shen

That's the three pieces. Strategic mix change, pricing, and aged equipment replacements.

Ross Taylor

Okay. I want to get back to the idea of equipment and the like, because obviously the Navy has pumped a lot of money into its supplier network to allow it to operate with the most modern equipment at the most effective level. It strikes me that we think of you having two primary programs at Stadco. One of which is Boeing's F-15EX and derivatives thereof, and the other is the CH-53K. Do either of those two programs right now, are they turning a profit operationally?

Phillip Podgorski

Yes.

Ross Taylor

Okay. The problem you have is in one specific program.

Alex Shen

There are still problems.

Ross Taylor

You mentioned you have two contracts that have to run through. My assumption from what I've watched in pattern analysis and the like, I'm assuming that problem is with Sikorsky and the CH-53K. I could be wrong, but that's where it appears to me to be. You have these two programs, two products that you need to run through. I assume that when you get that done, the next round, the next batch you run should be profitable. Is that a correct assumption?

Phillip Podgorski

That is not a correct assumption.

Ross Taylor

No?

Phillip Podgorski

No. We have other customers at Stadco as well. Some of them, again, have, again, legacy contracts that go back quite far.

Ross Taylor

So-

Alex Shen

I think, Ross, just to be a little bit more open than usual, I'm going to sustain this in the future as well. Phil sees it from his pattern recognition and actually looking at when we break it down by the project, when we break it down by the customer, but also when we break it down specifically into the sub-projects, right? We've done a lot of work with those two customers that I'm not supposed to mention by name.

Ross Taylor

Yes. You did a

Alex Shen

The key is that we have gotten them to the point where there are repeat parts and pricing is finally in the correct place, and we intend to hold the line and advance it from there. I hope that gives you a bit more color.

Ross Taylor

Yeah. You said that about what, overall, company-wide, about 90% of your business is sole source?

Alex Shen

Well, I would try to modify what you just said. A single sourced or sole sourced. Sorry, there's legal connotations with-

Ross Taylor

Yeah, there are differences.

Alex Shen

Yep.

Ross Taylor

Sole is only you can do it, single is only you are doing it.

Alex Shen

Yes. Generally speaking, correct.

Ross Taylor

You're looking at this with so much of your business being something you do uniquely, one would think that you should be able to get a reasonable profit, and the fact that it does not help your suppliers for you to not be able to make a reasonable profit. I have to say, I do hope, and if you have other minor, smaller contracts that aren't in these two things, it would strike me as, once again, one needs to be able to operate at a reasonable profit. By the end of this current fiscal year, the 27th fiscal year, are you saying that you do not think that you'll be able to be making a reasonable profit in both of these programs? And if so, what's it going to take to get there?

Phillip Podgorski

In the two programs that you had mentioned earlier, the names that I'm not supposed to mention.

Ross Taylor

Yeah. The ones we don't talk about. Right.

Phillip Podgorski

That's right. In fiscal 2027, they will be making a profit, yes.

Ross Taylor

Both those programs will make a profit in fiscal 2027?

Phillip Podgorski

That's correct.

Ross Taylor

That's a huge improvement.

Phillip Podgorski

It is. Huge strides have been made.

Ross Taylor

Here's a question. I know you see at times, and you're seeing it on the Ranor side, but these companies that you're working with, Boeing, Sikorsky, GX Web, they have the ability to help their suppliers, not just through contracts, but also through supplying capital. You see this with some of your competitors and some of your peers, where they come in and they supply capital with the idea of getting either first dibs on production or whatever. Why are you not seeing that in this area? I know like the F-15EX right now, there's some talk about them not only producing over 200 for the air defense version, but replacing over 200 aircraft that are currently in the F-15E versions with the EXs. You're talking about a program that could have a 500 aircraft run inside the U.S. Air Force.

Ross Taylor

To get there, you can't do it doing 24 a year. You got to get up to 50-70 or more, I think 70 more a year. To do that, you need to invest capital, I would assume. That investing of capital, which is not much for them, but might be huge for you, pays huge dividends because if they can increase their production rate by threefold, which I believe they should be able. If nothing else, they're coming off the F/A-18 run has stopped. There's an assembly line in St. Louis, I think, that might be empty. It just strikes me as, what's it going to take to get them to approach their business the same way the U.S. Navy and General Dynamics and the like have approached the submarine business?

Phillip Podgorski

What I can say is, I'll let Alex chime in afterwards, is that Boeing and Sikorsky have certainly recognized the need to invest in their supplier base. Again, the names I shouldn't be mentioning. Sorry, Alex.

Ross Taylor

Yeah. The companies we don't talk about are okay.

Phillip Podgorski

Yep. Had a slip on mine. They have recognized the need to invest, they are to the point, is it going to happen now? Is it not going to happen? Time will tell. Certainly, conversations have been had. All right. They understand our position. We've already initiated these conversations months ago. Can't say that we're ahead, but we certainly know that there is demand for what our talent, our technology, our capability is. In order to get the throughput that they're looking for, they need to invest, or we need to find another way to get it. Alex.

Alex Shen

That's a good opener for me. Being a little bit more blunt and not talking about specifics and specific customer names, there has been no hesitation whatsoever on our part to aggressively pursue CapEx opportunities in the form of grants. We don't have the money, and that is clear. If you would like more capacity, we have the know-how, we have the desire, and we have the knowledge to execute. It's very clear that we're waiting for customer responses, and we've been very aggressive in requesting CapEx assistance in the form of grants. We've gone directly to the customer's highest levels, as well as really the armed forces side of the program management from the government side.

Alex Shen

Yep. It's slow, so it's not reflected yet. It took Ranor years and years and years before we were recognized enough for a CapEx grant through the U.S. Navy, through Electric Boat.

Ross Taylor

Yeah. They did get there. FAIs, as I said, if you're looking at getting rid of these roadblocks, it's going to take these companies investing in, or the government. Someone has to invest in building out the-

Alex Shen

The industrial base.

Ross Taylor

The industrial base, because it doesn't work. As I said, when you look at the numbers, you realize you don't need 300-500 aircraft in 15 years. You need them in five years, seven years. To do that, it's going to take investments, and obviously, you can execute it. Okay, lastly, on this EBITDA number, you're looking at basically pushing somewhere, getting an EBITDA ratio in and around, let's say, 10%, a little bit better, this in fiscal 2027. Is that something that we should see as a stepping stone moving higher as we push forward, both because we should see more aircraft, particularly we should see a ramp in submarines going forward, and we should see a ramp also in at least one of those two programs that we don't talk about?

Phillip Podgorski

Yeah, I think that the-

Alex Shen

Go ahead, Bill.

Phillip Podgorski

Yeah, I think the answer to that is, let's get to the 2027 number. The roadmap further would suggest what you had indicated. All right. Certainly, the SG&A profile that we have, the infrastructure that we have, doesn't need to expand other than the equipment at the same pace. You should see a higher drop-through. Let's execute on 2027, I think, first.

Ross Taylor

Okay. Yeah. Executing on 2027 will be fantastic. As I said, congratulations on getting to where you're comfortable issuing guidance, thank you for being a little more open in the conversation. As I said, I think that it strikes me as 2027 is the year this should actually turn a corner. Given where the stock is priced, that should leave a lot of upside pushing forward, particularly if you can start to generate positive EBITDA and better revenue numbers so that the market isn't afraid that I get too many calls, people worrying about whether you can get a bank accord, I'm comfortable with this, that your bank will find a way to finance you until you get further around the corner. Thank you.

Phillip Podgorski

Thanks, Ross.

Alex Shen
