Insights

Financial Analyst

TechPrecision's Q3 FY2025 results present a mixed financial picture with both concerning elements and potential bright spots. Revenue remained essentially flat at $7.6 million (down less than 1%), while the company narrowed its operating loss to $0.7 million from $1.0 million in the year-ago period.

The operational divergence between the company's segments is significant. Ranor maintained profitability amid a favorable project mix, while Stadco continues struggling with legacy pricing issues and unfavorable project mix. This segmental disparity resulted in a 15% decline in gross profit to $1.0 million, primarily due to higher production costs at Stadco.

The 22% reduction in SG&A expenses represents a temporary benefit from the absence of acquisition-related costs rather than sustainable operational improvements. The company's financial position remains precarious with negative working capital of $1.8 million and just $165,000 in cash against $7.4 million in debt.

The $45.5 million backlog provides revenue visibility but must be evaluated against the company's execution challenges, particularly at Stadco. Management's projection of delivering this backlog over 1-3 years with gross margin expansion lacks specific implementation details, especially concerning how they'll address Stadco's persistent production issues that caused a 22% decline in nine-month gross profit despite 7% higher revenue.

The full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets signals continued expectation of near-term losses, confirming the challenging road ahead despite the improved quarterly operating loss.

Ranor records another profitable quarter, customer confidence remains high

Management to host conference call at 4:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday, April 8, 2025

WESTMINSTER, MA / ACCESS Newswire / April 8, 2025 / TechPrecision Corporation (NASDAQ:TPCS) ("TechPrecision" or "the Company"), a custom manufacturer of precision, large-scale fabrication components and precision, large-scale machined metal structural components, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended December 31, 2024. The components that we manufacture are customer designed and we sell to customers in two main industry sections: defense and precision industrial markets.

Management will host a conference call on Tuesday, April 8, 2025 at 4.30 p.m. ET, to discuss our financial results for the quarter ended December 31 ^, 2024.

"Third quarter consolidated revenue was $7.6 million, a decrease of less than 1% when compared to the fiscal 2024 third quarter. Our fiscal third quarter is seasonally characterized with higher under-absorbed overhead. Our Ranor segment experienced a favorable project mix enabling us to sustain operating profitability. In contrast, our Stadco segment is continuing to work through remaining legacy pricing problems on core business, with an unfavorable project mix for the quarter coupled with under-absorbed overhead." stated Alexander Shen, TechPrecision's Chief Executive Officer. "Customer confidence remains high as our backlog was $45.5 million on December 31, 2024. We expect to deliver our backlog over the course of the next one to three fiscal years with gross margin expansion."

The following summary compares the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 to the same prior year period:
