Sales Order Backlog up 30% since March 31, 2019
WESTMINSTER, MA / ACCESSWIRE / November 13, 2019 / TechPrecision Corporation TPCS ("TechPrecision" or "the Company"), an industry leading manufacturer of precision, large-scale fabricated and machined metal components and tested systems with customers in the defense, energy and precision industrial sectors, today reported financial results for the second quarter and six months ended September 30, 2019.
"Our results for the second quarter were impacted by increased costs associated with a loss provision for certain projects in progress, and under-absorbed factory overhead incurred as we start up on new projects," stated Alexander Shen, TechPrecision's Chief Executive Officer. "However, with all of the new projects coming online in the second quarter, we expect to return to profitability during the second half of fiscal 2020."
The first six months of fiscal 2020 were highlighted by a $3.8 million increase in our sales order backlog to $16.4 million compared to March 31, 2019, a result of booking approximately $11 million of additional orders over the period. In addition, the Company generated $0.9 million of cash from operations in the six months ended September 30, 2019. New project startup activity during the second quarter should provide sequential revenue improvement over the final two quarters of fiscal 2020.
