Second Quarter Fiscal 2024 Results

Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 was approximately US$4.32 million, representing an increase of 42% as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The increase in revenue was largely due to organic growth in our electronic components and fasteners businesses.

Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 was approximately US$552,000, resulting in a margin of approximately 13%, and as compared to approximately US$168,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The Company’s balance sheet remains strong with US$1.7 million in cash, an increase of approximately US$619,000 and US$427,000 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and second quarter of fiscal 2023, respectively, and no debt outstanding.

Net income for the quarter was approximately US$286,000, or US$0.02 per diluted share. Free Cash Flow(1) was approximately US$848,000, or an increase of approximately US$686,000 compared to the year ago quarter.

Bookings in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 were approximately US$2.7 million and, as a result, the backlog at June 30, 2024, was approximately US$4.7 million, consistent with the second quarter of fiscal 2023.

Management Comments

David Robbins, Omni-Lite’s CEO, stated “Overall, I am quite pleased with our financial performance in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Profitability and cash conversion was healthy despite an unfavorable product mix and some new product start-up costs in the quarter. The bookings in the quarter reflected a higher fulfilment of customers’ near-term critical needs over larger long-term contract requirements. However, bookings drivers and pipeline remain robust, and we anticipate healthy bookings continuing in 2024 driven by increased production rates on high temperature Inconel fastener components, missile defense sensor components and conversion of new product orders into initial phase production rates.

We are also pleased to see the rise in the Cal Nano share price subsequent to the quarter end.  Cal Nano has been an important source of value creation for Omni-Lite shareholders and, at some point in the future, may provide potential liquidity to fuel Omni-Lite's growth. However, to date, retention of our full stake has been beneficial for Omni-Lite shareholders.

(1)  Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock- based compensation provision, gains (losses) on sale of assets, and non-recurring items, if any. Free Cash Flow is a non-IFRS financial measure defined as cash flow from operations minus capital expenditures. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a non-IFRS financial measure defined as Free Cash Flow excluding special items, among others, gains (losses) on sale of assets and non- recurring items, net of tax effects, if any. These are non-IFRS financial measures, as defined herein, and should be read in conjunction with IFRS financial measures and they are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS. The non-IFRS financial measures used herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We believe the use of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow along with IFRS financial measures enhances the understanding of our operating results and may be useful to investors in comparing our operating performance with that of other companies and estimating our enterprise.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow are also useful tools in evaluating the operating results of the Company given the significant variation that can result from, for example, the timing of capital expenditures and the amount of working capital in support of our customer programs and contracts. We also use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow internally to evaluate the operating performance of the Company, to allocate resources and capital, and to evaluate future growth opportunities.
