LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, Aug. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Omni-Lite Industries Canada Inc. (the "Company" or “Omni-Lite”; TSXV: OML) today reported results for the second quarter ending June 30, 2025. Full financial results are available at sedarplus.ca.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2025 Results
Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 was approximately US$3.5 million, representing an increase of 5% as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase in revenue was partly attributed to contributions from our recent acquisition of eComp, as well as growth in our fasteners business. 

Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 was approximately US$95,000, lower due to the G&A expenses associated with eComp (which was acquired in April 2025) and lower revenue in the electronic components business coupled with lower fixed overhead absorption. 

The Company’s balance sheet remains strong with US$2.9 million in cash, an increase of approximately US$1.2 million compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2024, with no debt outstanding.

Free Cash Flow⁽¹⁾ was approximately US$170,000, with cash still remaining strong at US$2.9 million.

Bookings in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 were approximately US$2.8 million and, as a result, the backlog at June 30, 2025, was approximately US$6.3 million, up US$1.6 million over the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

In August 2025, the Company was awarded approximately $1.4 million in orders for electronic components in support of the PAC-3 and AEGIS  U.S. defense programs.  The majority of these orders are expected to be delivered in 2025 and the first half of 2026.  These orders result from a growing and persistent need for sustainment of critical U.S. missile defense platforms, and the Company expects more orders for components supporting defense systems including, among others, Patriot, SM-6, and Eurofighter.    
  
Management Comments

Dave Robbins, CEO said “our Q2 performance underscores Omni-Lite’s ability to deliver a level of consistency from our product diversity and to execute on strategic priorities. Revenue momentum in fasteners remains strong, casting operations continue to perform steadily, and microelectronics revenue is expected to rebound significantly in Q3 on the back of strong order flow. Further, we see the potential for significant additional follow-on orders in support of US military platforms in critical need of sustainment and replenishment of stockpiles that have substantially depleted following military conflicts around the globe.  The integration of eComp into Monzite has progressed on schedule, with major customer recertifications complete and near completion with the Defense Logistics Agency. We are now fully positioned to leverage these relationships and our expanded capabilities by directing sales effort towards fulfilling needs for high demand defense programs and platforms.”
