Shares declined 6.7% following the earnings release as investors reacted negatively to margin pressure and a cautious outlook implied by the company’s higher proportion of early-stage, lower-margin programs despite strong bookings and revenue growth.
- Revenue rose 62.3% year-over-year to $9.3 million, driven by growth in both defense and commercial segments.
- Customer-funded development revenue increased 145% y/y to $944,000, signaling a shift toward more early-stage, lower-margin work.
- Bookings hit a record $15 million in Q2, pushing the year-to-date total to over $30 million with a 1.7 book-to-bill ratio.
- Significant contract wins include an $8.4 million defense order and multiple commercial wins expected to generate multi-year revenue streams.
- The increased mix of early prototype and low-rate production programs is weighing on gross margins and suggests cautious execution risk ahead.
