    NORTON, Mass., March 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CPS Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ:CPSH) (“CPS” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter ended December 30, 2023.

    Fourth Quarter Highlights

    • Revenue of $6.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 versus $6.1 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to growth in shipments
    • Gross margin of 17.0 percent versus 26.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2022, reflecting certain quality issues with a major customer
    • Operating profit of $0.1 million for the quarter ended December 30, 2023 compared to $0.3 million in the prior-year period

    “We finished the year with the highest annual revenue in the Company’s history – $27.6 million – driven by 10 percent growth in the fourth quarter versus the prior-year period,” said Brian Mackey, President and CEO. “We are cautiously optimistic that the quality issues previously disclosed have been largely mitigated and should not have a material impact on 2024 results. While the Continuing Resolution in Washington has hampered certain decision making, impacting some of our new business development initiatives, we believe our strong position across the Company’s diverse end markets provides plenty of opportunity for further top line expansion. That said, the U.S. Navy contract for HybridTech Armor® panels is, as previously discussed, expected to be completed during the second quarter of this year. We remain steadfast in our mission to pursue other fast-growing industrial and technological applications that can accelerate demand and drive CPS to new levels of performance. We continue to invest for the future, and I am confident that order flow will improve as the year plays out. Even as short-term headwinds exist, the future is bright for CPS.”

    Results of Operations
    CPS reported revenue of $6.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 versus $6.1 million in the prior-year period, reflecting overall growth in product shipments. Gross profit was $1.1 million, or 17.0 percent of revenue, versus $1.6 million, or 26.6 percent of revenue, in the fiscal 2022 fourth quarter, with the lower gross margin year-over-year largely due to quality issues with one of the Company’s major customers.

    Operating profit was $0.1 million in the fiscal 2023 fourth quarter compared with $0.3 million in the prior-year period. Reported net income was also $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, versus $0.3 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in the quarter ended December 31, 2022.
