Excluding items, the company earned $0.53 per share. Its revenue climbed 43.7 percent year-over-year to $37.5 million from $26.1 million.

James R. Lines, Graham's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Fiscal 2015 was an outstanding year. We set new records for sales, orders and year-end backlog. We realized operational leverage on the investments made over the prior three years, as we executed our strategy to take Graham to a new level. We believe these results demonstrate our ability to concurrently deliver remarkable financial performance and provide exceptional customer value." For FY16, the company expects revenue of $95 million to $105 million, versus analysts' estimates of $125.10 million. It projects gross margin of 26 percent to 28 percent.
