EDGEWOOD, N.Y., Aug. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CPI Aerostructures, Inc. (“CPI Aero” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: CVU) today announced financial results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024.
“We made solid progress in the second quarter 2024 as we continue to transition from legacy programs to programs of the future. Although our second quarter revenue was marginally higher than second quarter 2023, gross profit margin increased by 220 basis points and our Net Income increased by 21.9% due to stronger operational performance and change in product mix. In addition, our second quarter adjusted EBITDA of $2.6 million is 25.0% higher than second quarter 2023. Our six-month results reflect the lower first quarter of 2024 revenues, while overcoming the gross profit impact caused by unfavorable year-over-year product mix in that quarter.
We reduced our debt by $2.4 million over the last twelve months, and our June 30, 2024 Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA Ratio was 2.7, which marks our sixth consecutive quarter-end below 3.0. Our operations consumed $1.6 million in cash during the first six months of 2024 to support the ramp-up associated with our Pod programs,” said Dorith Hakim, President and CEO.
Added Ms. Hakim, “We have seen an uptick in request for quotes based on our strong performance and strengthening of our financial position. We expect that our competitive position will continue to drive program wins, building off of our backlog of $512 million as of June 30, 2024.”

Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures
Note: (1) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined as GAAP income from operations plus depreciation, amortization and stock-compensation expense.
Adjusted EBITDA as calculated by us may be calculated differently than Adjusted EBITDA for other companies. We have provided Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is a commonly used measure of financial performance in comparable companies and is provided to help investors evaluate companies on a consistent basis, as well as to enhance understanding of our operating results. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as either an alternative to income from operations or net income or as an indicator of our operating performance or an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. The adjustments to calculate this non-GAAP financial measure and the basis for such adjustments are outlined below. Please refer to the following table below that reconciles GAAP income from operations to Adjusted EBITDA.
The adjustments to calculate this non-GAAP financial measure, and the basis for such adjustments, are outlined below:
Depreciation. The Company incurs depreciation expense (recorded in cost of sales and in selling, general and administrative expenses) related to capital assets purchased, leased or constructed to support the ongoing operations of the business. The assets are recorded at cost or fair value and are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of individual assets.
Stock-based compensation expense. The Company incurs non-cash expense related to stock-based compensation included in its GAAP presentation of cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses. Management believes that exclusion of these expenses allows comparison of operating results to those of other companies that disclose non-GAAP financial measures that exclude stock-based compensation.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company expects to continue to incur expenses similar to the Adjusted EBITDA financial adjustments described above, and investors should not infer from the Company’s presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure that these costs are unusual, infrequent, or non-recurring.
Reconciliation of income from operations to Adjusted EBITDA is as follows:
