"While our FY25 2^nd quarter sales finished down year on year, our 1^st half sales finished just shy of last year's level," stated Tim Sopko, CEO. He continued, "The $20.2M of sales achieved by our Team in this H1 is the second highest H1 sales total in our Company's history and only slightly less than our record high H1 sales total of $20.3M which was set last fiscal year." He further commented, "Earnings for the 2^nd quarter are down from last year's level, due predominantly to the lower sales volume, while the 1^st half earnings, 18.5% as a percentage of sales, are more in line with last year's level, 18.9%." He continued, "Encouragingly, our firm order backlog has increased to $34.5M from the $33.1M we entered this year with despite the high H1 sales outflow." He concluded, "As we enter the 2^nd half of our FY25, we will continue to aggressively target opportunities where our custom engineered products are critically needed and valued by our customers in all three of our chosen markets; Aerospace/Defense, Structural and Industrial, which we expect will continue to support our profitable growth going forward."
