We also progressed talks with potential partners in the military and law enforcement channel and have started to see our initiatives on this front come to fruition. The planned infrastructure and capacity improvements deployed in fiscal year 2020, coupled with our team’s excellent job streamlining internal processes resulted in significant improvement in our adjusted EBITDA profitability to nearly breakeven during the quarter.“Looking ahead, we have the utmost confidence in our ability to continue meeting this extraordinary commercial demand, which we anticipate will last at least through the end of our fiscal year. As our facilities continue to operate at near maximum capacity to meet customer needs, we now have the largest backlog in Company history at $45 million, with $35 million attributed to the commercial channel and $10 million attributed to the export, military, and law enforcement channel.“As a result, we are reiterating our previously increased guidance of approximately $42 million in total revenue for fiscal year 2021. Given our enhanced production capacity and continuing demand growth, we also reasonably believe we will achieve positive adjusted EBITDA at the end of our fiscal second quarter.”To view detailed financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2020, please refer to the Form 10-Q filed on August 19, 2020.
