(Nasdaq: ISSC) ("IS&S" or the "Company"), a leading provider of advanced avionic solutions for commercial, business aviation and military markets, today reported fiscal third quarter financial results for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025.

THIRD QUARTER 2025 HIGHLIGHTS
(all comparisons versus the prior year period unless otherwise noted)

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

“We delivered solid third quarter results, highlighted by revenue growth of 105% to $24.1 million and adjusted EBITDA growth of 43% to $4.4 million,” stated Shahram Askarpour, Chief Executive Officer of IS&S. “Our gross margin was impacted by elevated costs on the F-16 product line as Honeywell incurred extra expenses in order to expedite the building of safety stock ahead of fully transitioning production to ISSC. However, once the transition is completed, we expect to realize product level and operational cost efficiencies that will improve gross margins in the latter quarters of fiscal 2026. Based on our solid year-to-date results, we remain on track to achieve our full year target of growing both revenue and EBITDA by more than 30% compared to fiscal year 2024.”

“The construction of our Exton facility has been completed, and we expect fit-out to be finished in early fall, at which time we can begin to take advantage of our expanded manufacturing capacity including the integration of the recently acquired F-16 products,” continued Askarpour. “Although the pull-forward of F-16 production into the current quarter in order to build safety stock ahead of this final transition will impact revenue over the next two quarters, we expect to drive additional growth and efficiencies once the migration is complete.”

“The recent closing of our new five-year, $100 million syndicated credit facility - led and arranged by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. - represents an important strategic milestone in furthering our growth objectives,” stated Jeffrey DiGiovanni, Chief Financial Officer of IS&S. “The new facility provides an additional $65 million in expanded liquidity and an option, subject to certain conditions, to request up to $25 million in additional loan commitments under an accordion feature in the credit agreement. This improved flexibility enhances our ability to execute on our long-term growth strategy. We will continue to prioritize investments to advance organic growth initiatives and also pursue strategic acquisitions, which could include product line additions or extensions and stand-alone companies that offer attractive growth opportunities in our targeted market areas.”

“We remain encouraged by our progress in recent quarters, with the expansion of our Exton facility, our new credit facility, and investments in growth initiatives marking key milestones in executing our long-term growth strategy,” concluded Askarpour. “As we look forward, we continue to be excited by the opportunities across our commercial, business, and military markets and remain committed to our disciplined capital allocation strategy, all with a focus on delivering value for shareholders.”

THIRD QUARTER 2025 PERFORMANCE

Third quarter revenue was $24.1 million, an increase of 105.2% compared to the same period last year driven by significant revenue from the recently acquired F-16 product line, including deliveries that were pulled forward as Honeywell built safety stock ahead of the move of production to the Company’s Exton facility. Consequently, the Company expects a reduction in revenues from the F-16 product line during the next two quarters as finished inventory levels normalize.

Gross profit was $8.6 million during the third quarter of 2025, up 36.7% from gross profit of $6.3 million in the third quarter of last year. The increase was driven by the strong revenue growth, partially offset by lower gross margins on the F-16 product line acquired from Honeywell due in part to the extra costs incurred by Honeywell to build safety stock ahead of the transition of production to Exton.

Third quarter 2025 operating expenses were $5.1 million, compared to $4.2 million in the third quarter of last year, reflecting incremental expenses from the Honeywell acquisitions, including $0.2 million of amortization expense, $0.6 million in employee related costs, and $0.1 million of acquisition and one-time expenses. Illustrating the opportunity for and impact of significant operating leverage as the business scales, operating expenses were 21.0% of revenue during the third quarter, down meaningfully from 36.1% of revenues in the third quarter of last year.

Net income was $2.4 million, or $0.14 per diluted share during the third quarter, compared to net income of $1.6 million, or $0.09 per share in the third quarter of last year.

Adjusted EBITDA was $4.4 million during the third quarter, up from $3.1 million in the third quarter of last year.

New orders in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 were $16.9 million and backlog as of June 30, 2025 was $72.4 million. The backlog includes only purchase orders in-hand and excludes additional orders from the Company’s OEM customers under long-term programs, including Pilatus PC-24, Textron King Air, Boeing T-7 Red Hawk, Boeing KC-46A and Lockheed F-16.

BALANCE SHEET, LIQUIDITY AND FREE CASH FLOW

As of June 30, 2025, IS&S had total long-term debt of $23.3 million. Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2025, were $0.6 million, resulting in net debt of $22.7 million. Despite elevated capital expenditures during the quarter relating to the Exton facility expansion, net debt declined $3.5 million during the quarter, reflecting the strong operating results as well as disciplined financial management. As of June 30, 2025, IS&S had total cash and availability under its credit line of approximately $12.3 million.

In July 2025, the Company entered into a new five-year, $100 million committed credit agreement with a lending syndicate led and arranged by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. The credit agreement replaces the Company's existing $35 million line of credit. The credit agreement provides for a $30 million secured revolving loan facility, a $25 million secured term loan, a $45 million secured delayed draw term facility, and an option, subject to certain conditions, to request up to $25 million in additional loan commitments under an accordion feature in the credit agreement.

Cash flow provided by operations was $10.3 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $5.4 million in the same period last year. Capital expenditures during the nine months ended June 30, 2025 were $5.5 million, versus $0.5 million in the year-ago period. Free cash flow was $4.8 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2025 versus $4.8 million in the same period last year.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) and adjusted net cash provided by operating activities (“free cash flow”) are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered substitutes for GAAP measures, net income (for EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA), diluted earnings per share (for adjusted diluted EPS) or net cash provided by operating activities (for free cash flow), which the Company considers to be the most directly comparable GAAP measures. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing the Company’s operating performance, readers should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for net income, diluted earnings per share, net cash provided by operating activities or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Other companies in the Company’s industry may define or calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently than the Company does, and accordingly, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The Company defines EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. The Company believes EBITDA to be relevant and useful information to their investors because it provides additional information in assessing the Company’s financial operating results. The Company’s management uses EBITDA in evaluating operating performance, ability to service debt, and ability to fund capital expenditures and pay dividends. However, EBITDA has certain limitations in that it does not reflect the impact of certain expenses on the Company’s consolidated statements of income, including interest expense, which is a necessary element of the Company’s costs because the Company has borrowed money in order to finance operations, income tax expense, which is a necessary element of costs because taxes are imposed by law, and depreciation and amortization, which are necessary elements of costs because the Company uses capital assets to generate income. EBITDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, operating income, net income or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Furthermore, the Company’s definition of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Below is our reconciliation of EBITDA to U.S. GAAP net income.

The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, transaction-related acquisition and integration expenses, and non-recurring items. The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it eliminates the impact of expenses that do not relate to ongoing business performance, and that the presentation of this measure enhances an investor’s understanding of its financial performance.

Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool. For example, adjusted EBITDA:

  • does not reflect any cash capital expenditure requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized, which assets may have to be replaced in the future;
  • does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company’s working capital needs;
  • excludes the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters the Company considers not to be indicative of its ongoing operations;
  • does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on the Company’s debt; and
  • excludes certain tax payments that may represent a reduction in available cash.

Free cash flow is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. The Company believes that free cash flow is an important financial measure for use in evaluating financial performance because it measures the Company’s ability to generate additional cash from its business operations.

A reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is set forth below.
