Nortech Systems Incorporated, a leading provider of engineering and manufacturing solutions for complex electromedical and electromechanical products serving the medical, aerospace & defense and industrial markets, reported net sales of $22.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, a decline of 19.6% compared to $27.4 for the first quarter of 2020. The decline was primarily due to COVID-related factors including supply chain disruptions and short-term challenges scaling our direct labor workforce. Gross margin for the first quarter of 2021 was 7.1% compared to 11.0% in 2020, a decline of 3.9 percentage points. Lower margin was due to unabsorbed fixed overhead in the Company's global manufacturing network. Net loss for first quarter 2021 was ($1.6) million and ($0.58) per diluted share compared to a net income of $0.1 million and $0.05 per diluted share in first quarter 2020. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of ($1.5) million in first quarter 2021 compared to net income of $1.0 million in first quarter 2020.
