CPS Technologies Corporation Announces Fourth Quarter 2019 Results
NORTON, Mass., March 04, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CPS Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ:CPSH) today announced revenues of $5.4 million and an operating profit of $369 thousand for the quarter ended December 28, 2019. This compares with revenues of $6.1 million and an operating profit of $209 thousand for the quarter ended December 29, 2018.
For the twelve months ending December 28, 2019, revenues were $21.5 million with an operating loss of $597 thousand. For the twelve months ending December 29, 2018 revenues were $21.6 million with an operating loss of $901 thousand.
Grant Bennett, President and CEO, said: “Revenues in the fourth quarter were down compared to the same period a year ago, but up significantly compared to the third quarter of 2019. In our third quarter 2019 press release we commented we had entered into new contracts with materially higher prices and increased volumes with our three largest customers. We also commented on our strategic objective to increase margins through changes in product mix. We see the initial results of these actions in our Q4 operating profit. Improved pricing and increased volumes from these contracts are phased in over time so we expect to see additional benefits from these contracts in the current and upcoming quarters. These developments suggest continued strong performance throughout 2020.
The value that AlSiC brings varies by application. In some applications the value is very, very significant, in other cases it is incremental or AlSiC may bring no additional value compared to conventional solutions. In adjusting our product mix we are focusing on those applications where AlSiC brings the greatest value, and taking action to capture that value through appropriate pricing.
Demand from our largest current customers is increasing, but sustained growth requires generating new customers and new products. We are pleased that the actions we have taken in the last two years, and continue to take, to strengthen our sales and marketing efforts in the US aerospace and defense electronics industries are resulting in, and will continue to result in, new design wins, new bookings, new customers, and new products in our two main product families, AlSiC components and hermetic packages.
Regarding the Coronavirus, to date it has not affected our supply chain, or reduced demand from our customers. However, our probing of our customers and our customers’ customers indicate the Coronavirus has the potential to impact customer demand in the future depending on the extent and duration of the epidemic. Internally we are following CDC guidance regarding travel restrictions and other actions to protect employees.
