Eltek Ltd., a global manufacturer and supplier of technologically advanced solutions in the field of printed circuit boards (PCBs), announced its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
First Quarter 2024 Highlights
- Revenues were $11.8 million, up 3% over Q1 2023
- Operating profit was $1.7 million, up 8% over Q1 2023
- Net income was $1.7 million or $0.27 per fully diluted share, up 11% over Q1 2023
- Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $1.3 million.
"We have ended another successful quarter with net income of $1.74 million, compared to $1.56 million in the first quarter of 2023, an increase of 11%. Revenues reached $11.8 million, marking a 3% rise compared to the same period last year. These results are the outcome of our continuous investment in increasing efficiency and quality. We have seen a consistent uptrend in both product orders and requests for quotations during the quarter. Recently, we secured a repeat order worth $1.6 million from a defense client for PCB supply, with $1 million due by the end of 2024 and the remainder by the end of 2025. We anticipate sustained high demand in the defense sector, for the next 2-3 years. Our current principal production constraint lies in manpower and not in machine capacity. To manage this increased demand for our products, we're actively seeking to boost our workforce by 15% in the short term and an additional 10% thereafter," said Eli Yaffe, CEO of Eltek.
"Looking ahead to 2024 and 2025, we anticipate significant challenges as we undertake extensive construction work and integrate additional new production lines and machines. Our focus is on ensuring the smooth installation of new equipment while sustaining full production capacity on our existing lines. Despite a slight delay of several months in our investment program, our progress remains steady, with the successful installation of the first of three ordered coating lines during the quarter," continued Mr. Yaffe.
"We continue to seek a suitable PCB manufacturing company to acquire in the American market to enhance our presence in North America. Concurrently, we are exploring additional options for expanding production at our plant in Israel to support our growth strategy," concluded Mr. Yaffe.
