Sypris Reports Q3 Results; Revenue Up 6.2%
November 19, 2024 | Sypris Electronics LLCEstimated reading time: 4 minutes
Sypris Solutions, Inc. reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 29, 2024.
Highlights:
- Revenue for the quarter increased 6.2% year-over-year, driven by a 13.6% increase for Sypris Electronics and a 0.7% increase for Sypris Technologies. Orders were up 6.5% for the quarter and 13.4% year-to-date, reflecting positive growth for both businesses.
- Gross profit for the Company increased 48.0% from the prior-year period and increased 6.0% sequentially, while gross margin expanded 480 basis points and 90 basis points, respectively.
- EPS increased to $0.02 per diluted share, up from a loss of $0.03 per diluted share for the prior-year quarter, and up from $0.00 per diluted share sequentially.
- Revenue for Sypris Electronics increased 13.6%, reflecting the positive impact of recently announced contracts with customers serving the markets for electronic warfare, subsea communications, and aircraft and missile avionics. Orders are up 14.2% year-to-date.
- Gross profit for Sypris Technologies surged 150.9% year-over-year and 34.6% sequentially, while gross margin expanded 1,130 basis points and 360 basis points, respectively. Orders for energy products are up 11.8% year-to-date.
- During the quarter, Sypris Technologies announced that it entered into a long-term sole-source extension to its current supply agreement with one of the world’s largest commercial vehicle manufacturers. The agreement provides for a continuation of Sypris’ Ultra® Axle Shafts for use in the assemblies of the customer’s branded drive axles for medium and heavy-duty trucks.
- The Company updated its full-year outlook for 2024, with revenue now expected to increase 10% year-over-year, at the lower end of our prior guidance due to temporary production delays on three of our Sypris Electronics programs during the year. We continue to expect a 100-125 basis point increase in gross margin.
“We were pleased with the year-over-year revenue growth at Sypris Electronics,” commented Jeffrey T. Gill, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The backlog at Sypris Electronics exceeds $100 million and is expected to support growth through the remainder of 2024 and beyond. Customer funding has already been secured for a significant portion of these key programs, which enables us to procure inventory under multi-year purchase orders to mitigate future supply chain issues.
“Demand from Sypris Technologies customers serving the automotive, commercial vehicle, sport utility and off-highway markets has remained relatively stable, with new product line shipments offsetting the anticipated cyclical decline for the commercial vehicle market. We believe that the market diversification Sypris Technologies has accomplished over recent years by adding new programs in the automotive, sport-utility and off-highway markets will help offset some of this decline.
“Orders for our energy products increased during the period, and additional opportunities for growth may exist with new global projects in support of increasing LNG demand. We are also actively pursuing applications for our products in adjacent markets including CO2 capture to further diversify our industry and customer portfolios.”
Third Quarter Results
The Company reported revenue of $35.7 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $33.6 million for the prior-year comparable period. Additionally, the Company reported net income of $0.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $0.6 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the prior-year period.
For the nine months ended September 29, 2024, the Company reported revenue of $106.7 million compared to $101.5 million for the first nine months of 2023. The Company reported a net loss of $1.8 million compared with a loss of $0.5 million for the prior-year period.
Sypris Technologies
Revenue for Sypris Technologies was $19.5 million in the third quarter of 2024 compared to $19.3 million for the prior-year period, reflecting strong energy shipments during the period, partially offset by the anticipated cyclical decline in the commercial vehicle market. Gross profit for the third quarter of 2024 was $3.7 million, or 18.8% of revenue, compared to $1.5 million, or 7.5% of revenue, for the same period in 2023. Gross profit for the third quarter of 2024 benefited from a favorable mix and favorable exchange rates.
Sypris Electronics
Revenue for Sypris Electronics was $16.2 million in the third quarter of 2024 compared to $14.2 million for the prior-year period. Increased shipments for a follow-on program contributed to the growth over the prior-year comparable period. Gross profit for the third quarter of 2024 was $2.3 million, or 14.3% of revenue, compared to $2.6 million, or 18.1% of revenue, for the same period in 2023 primarily due to additional labor and overhead costs incurred on programs that recently ramped production and an unfavorable mix.
Outlook
Commenting on the future, Mr. Gill added, “Demand from customers serving the markets for electronic warfare, aircraft and missile avionics, secure and subsea communications, and ground-based radar remain robust, while the outlook for the energy market continues to move in the right direction. Similarly, demand from customers serving the automotive, commercial vehicle and sport utility markets remains healthy despite the anticipated cyclical decline in the commercial vehicle market.
“With a strong backlog, new program wins, and long-term contract extensions in place, we are confident that the remainder of 2024 has the potential to be very positive for Sypris. We have updated our outlook for 2024 to include a 10% growth in the top line, which is at the lower end of our previous guidance. We continue to expect a 100-125 basis point increase in margin.”
