Tags

Frequency Electronics (NASDAQ: FEIM) reported fiscal 2026 revenue of approximately $63.2 million, down from $69.8 million in 2025, and an operating loss of $3.0 million versus prior-year operating income of $11.7 million. Q4 2026 revenue was $15.4 million with an operating loss of $6.3 million.

The company ended April 30, 2026 with a record $111 million funded backlog, up 34% sequentially and 59% year over year. FEI reaffirmed a minimum revenue target of $150 million by fiscal 2029 (34% CAGR from 2026) and set new minimum margin targets of 50% gross and 30% operating by fiscal 2029.

Fiscal 2026 GAAP gross and operating margins were about 29% and (5)%, but on a non-GAAP adjusted basis would have been roughly 41% and 11%, reflecting exclusions for restructuring, one-time policy changes, engineering expansion and a manufacturing efficiency project. Operating cash flow improved to approximately $1.3 million from prior-year use of $1.4 million.

News Explained

The newly disclosed FEI-Elcom restructuring changes the business mix now, while its $3.8 million inventory charge is non-cash.

On July 15, 2026, Frequency Electronics reported fiscal 2026 results and disclosed that it had chosen to restructure its FEI-Elcom manufacturing business during the fourth quarter.

The restructuring de-emphasizes or discontinues lower-growth, lower-margin products and reallocates capital and talent toward core space and defense markets and other named growth areas, changing the business mix rather than merely adding a future target.

The $3.8 million inventory write-down is a non-cash charge recorded through cost of goods sold, while additional severance costs ran through selling and administrative expenses; the release says the restructuring also produced a Q4 tax benefit of approximately $0.9 million.

The release identifies approximately $9.3 million of future tax benefits and a return to normal cash generation beginning in Fiscal 2027 as forward-looking items; subsequent Fiscal 2027 reporting is the specified checkpoint for those items.

Analysis

The stock moved -5.3% in the session following this news. A sharp selloff could track the weak reported margins, including quarterly operating loss of $6.3 million, and would be consistent with the historical average earnings move near -6.92%. The growing $111 million backlog may be overlooked near term, while relatively low short interest limits the chance of a technical rebound driven purely by covering.

Key Terms

quantum sensing, c4isr, electronic warfare, non-gaap
4 terms
quantum sensing technical
"quantum sensing, including magnetometers;"
Quantum sensing uses the unusual behavior of tiny particles to measure physical quantities—like magnetic fields, time, or motion—with far greater precision than conventional sensors. For investors, it matters because this leap in sensitivity can enable new products and markets (better medical imaging, navigation without GPS, or faster material testing), potentially creating high-growth opportunities for companies that commercialize reliable, scalable devices.
c4isr technical
"Command, Control, Communication, Computer, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (“C4ISR”), and Electronic Warfare"
C4ISR stands for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance and describes the networked systems that collect information, make sense of it, and let decision-makers direct forces or assets. Think of it as a military or security organization’s nervous system and traffic-control center rolled into one. Investors care because companies that build or supply C4ISR gear and software often win long-term government contracts, drive recurring revenue, and signal exposure to defense spending and technology cycles.
electronic warfare technical
"Command, Control, Communication, Computer, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (“C4ISR”), and Electronic Warfare (“EW”) systems."
Electronic warfare involves using technology to disrupt, deceive, or disable an opponent’s electronic systems, such as communication networks, radar, or navigation signals. It is like jamming or scrambling a radio or GPS to prevent others from receiving clear information. For investors, it matters because advances in electronic warfare can impact military capabilities, influence global security, and affect the stability of markets and technological investments.
non-gaap financial
"These adjusted financial metrics are non-GAAP measures."
Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.

  • Announces Record $111 Million Funded Backlog, up 34% Sequentially and 59% Annually
  • Establishes Three-Year Minimum Gross Margin Target of 50% and Operating Margin Target of 30%
  • Reaffirms Three-Year Revenue Target of at Least $150 million, a 34% CAGR
  • Establishes Path for Strong Operating Leverage by Front-Loading Investments and Pruning Non-Core Business

MITCHEL FIELD, N.Y., July 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Frequency Electronics, Inc. (“FEI,” “Frequency,” the “Company,” “we” or “us”) (NASDAQ-FEIM) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2026 and provided significant updates to its future profitability profile.

FEI President and CEO, Tom McClelland, commented, “As we have mentioned before, Fiscal 2026 was a year of digestion from a revenue standpoint, as we pulled forward some revenue into last year’s Fiscal 2025. But it was also a critically important year for the future of Frequency as we significantly expanded our funded backlog, giving us excellent visibility into coming growth. Just two quarters ago, we told investors that we believed we could see backlog north of $100 million in the not-too-distant future. Today we are extremely pleased to report that our backlog reached $111 million at the end of our fiscal fourth quarter, up 34% sequentially and 59% over the same period last year. It was because of this continuing expansion of our backlog and order book, as well as the significantly larger end-markets that we are now selling into, all of which are based on technology that leverages our long-standing market leadership in space and defense applications, that we felt confident giving a three-year minimum revenue target of $150 million on April 30, 2026, representing a 34% compound annual growth rate from our Fiscal 2026 revenue. Today we reaffirm our minimum revenue target of $150 million by Fiscal 2029, and, beginning in Fiscal 2027, our current fiscal year, we will begin delivering on this target through revenue growth, starting in our current first quarter.

Future Margin Targets

“In Fiscal 2027, we also intend to begin demonstrating a multi-year path to higher margins. To that end, we are today establishing a minimum gross margin target of 50% and a minimum operating margin target of 30% by Fiscal 2029.

“The path to these higher margins is largely in our control and is a direct result of the significant business shift we are undertaking. On the gross margin side, we anticipate seeing meaningful improvement from two significant levers. The first is the much higher revenue base we are targeting, as we have previously discussed, and which we believe is well supported by our backlog, order book, industry trends and government funding. In addition, due to customer demand, we are moving from a bespoke manufacturer of exquisite products with more episodic production schedules to a high-rate production company making many more units of similar products on a more consistent basis. We believe this higher-rate production model will be more predictable, allow for better overhead absorption and feature less non-recurring engineering costs as a percentage of total business, all of which should drive gross margins to at least 50% by Fiscal 2029.

“In addition, we believe we will demonstrate very strong operating leverage in the business, such that as revenue increases sharply, we should gain meaningful efficiencies on our research and development (“R&D”) and selling and administrative expenses (“SG&A”). Based on the gross margin target outlined above, and those operating expense efficiencies in R&D and SG&A, we believe we will then be able to generate minimum operating margins of 30% by Fiscal 2029.

Investments in Growth, Business Restructuring and Non-Recurring Charges

McClelland further added: “We invested significantly in the business during Fiscal 2026 in order to better prepare the Company for the anticipated strong growth ahead. The majority of this investment was focused on hiring engineering talent in advance of the large ramp-up in production and revenue we are expecting. This had near-term dampening effects on gross margin, as engineering costs flow through the manufacturing overhead portion of our cost of goods sold, raising this expense before the corresponding revenue is generated. A second meaningful investment during Fiscal 2026 was a significant manufacturing efficiency project. This business process improvement investment should allow us to improve turnaround time. The related expenses flowed through overhead and had a similar adverse impact on gross margins. But with increasing orders and strong demand, we think such investments are prudent long-term decisions and will allow the Company to be ready for that business and to super-serve our customers, who increasingly want more work done more quickly. We believe this should meaningfully benefit our stockholders as well, as we seek to increasingly provide higher levels of mission-critical products that perform to the highest standards in the harshest environments and do so with high incremental margins.

“Further, we have increased our internal focus on our largest and most profitable market opportunities, and de-emphasized or discontinued products with lower growth potential and lower margin profiles that have historically been part of our business. Specifically, we chose to restructure our FEI-Elcom manufacturing business in New Jersey in the fourth quarter because it simply did not have the growth or margin potential of our core space and defense markets, nor those of the much larger addressable markets we are now starting to sell into: alternative position, navigation and timing (ALT-PNT) solutions; quantum sensing, including magnetometers; space defense and exploration; and, proliferated satellite programs. Though we sacrificed some near-term revenue in the fourth quarter by doing so, we believe it is the right long-term decision to better align our capital and talent towards their highest and best use and potential returns. The FEI-Elcom restructuring included a $3.8 million inventory write-down, a non-cash charge which flowed through cost of goods sold and further depressed gross margins for this reported period, but which we believe is not reflective of ongoing business trends; additional severance costs flowed through selling and administrative expenses. Further, the restructuring charge of $3.8 million yielded a tax benefit of approximately $0.9 million in Q4 2026. Additionally, including the restructuring costs, the Company anticipates realizing approximately $9.3 million of future tax benefits, which will benefit the Company going forward as we return to profitable growth.

“Lastly, we had several non-recurring charges that flowed through operating expenses this quarter, the majority of which was a non-cash charge for an accrual related to a one-time change in employee sick/paid-time-off policies. Most of this charge flowed through cost of goods sold, impacting gross margins, and the balance flowed through selling and administrative expenses. As a result of these charges this quarter, we believe our as-reported results do not accurately reflect the core strength of our underlying business, which will pave the path towards the much higher revenue and margin levels we described earlier.”

Reported Results and Adjusted Levels

Revenue for the three and twelve months ended April 30, 2026, was approximately $15.4 million and $63.2 million, respectively, compared to $20.0 million and $69.8 million, respectively, reported for the same period of fiscal year 2025. Operating loss for the three and twelve months ended April 30, 2026 was $6.3 million and $3.0 million, respectively, compared to an operating income of $3.3 million and $11.7 million, respectively, reported for the same period of the previous fiscal year. Net loss from operations for the three and twelve months ended April 30, 2026, was $4.9 million or ($0.50) per diluted share and $0.9 million or ($0.09) per diluted share, respectively, compared to a net income from operations for the three and twelve months ended April 30, 2025 of $3.2 million or $0.33 per diluted share and $23.7 million or $2.46 per diluted share, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $1.3 million in the twelve months of fiscal year 2026, compared to net cash used in operations of $1.4 million for the same period of fiscal year 2025. Backlog at April 30, 2026 was approximately $111 million compared to $70 million at April 30, 2025.

FEI Chief Financial Officer Steve Bernstein commented, “The fiscal fourth quarter in 2025 was the highest quarterly revenue in 25 years for FEI, which made for a difficult year-over-year comparison as we digested some of that pulled forward revenue in Fiscal 2026; however, we expect to start hitting new quarterly revenue records for the Company in the near future, based on the strength in our backlog and order book. We took a number of actions in the fiscal fourth quarter and in Fiscal 2026, including significant cash investments, that adversely impacted our as-reported margins. We provide tables at the end of this release that show the impact of these charges and investments and what they would have been without the charges. We are not adjusting for foregone revenue from the restructuring of FEI-Elcom, though certainly higher revenue would have made for an improved comparison. In sum, as the tables show below, our gross margins and operating margins were approximately 1% and (41)%, respectively, for the quarter, and approximately 29% and (5)%, respectively, for the fiscal year. Whereas, adjusted for the charges and investments, our gross margins and operating margins would have been approximately 36% and 1%, respectively, for the quarter, and approximately 41% and 11%, respectively, for the fiscal year.1 These are levels we anticipate growing meaningfully in the years to come, as stated earlier. The Company made significant cash investments during Fiscal 2026, but expects to return to normal cash generation in Fiscal 2027, beginning in our current fiscal first quarter.”

Forward-Looking Statements

The statements in this press release regarding future earnings and operations, including statements regarding our three-year gross margin target, our three-year operating margin target, our three-year revenue target and similar targets or objectives, and other statements relating to the future constitute “forward-looking” statements pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements inherently involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Factors that would cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, the risks associated with reliance on key customers, including the U.S. government, the Company’s use of estimates when accounting for contracts, actions by significant customers or competitors, competitive factors, new products and technological changes, continued acceptance of the Company’s products in the marketplace, dependence upon third-party vendors, product prices and raw material costs, the Company’s ability to attract and retain key employees, general domestic and international economic conditions, health epidemics and pandemics, external disruptions to the Company’s facilities or supply chain, the Company’s operations in a highly regulated industry, the outcome of any litigation and arbitration proceedings, cybersecurity attacks, noncompliance with any of the covenants in the credit agreement, volatility in the Company’s stock price, including due to the relatively low trading volume of its common stock, and failure to maintain an effective system of internal controls over financial reporting. The factors listed above are not exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this release and in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025, filed on July 18, 2025 with the Securities and Exchange Commission includes additional factors that could materially and adversely impact the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, as such factors are updated from time to time in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are accessible on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. Moreover, the Company operates in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict the impact of all these factors on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not rely on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. Any or all of the forward-looking statements contained in this press release and any other public statement made by the Company or its management may turn out to be incorrect. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
