Innovative Solutions & Support, Inc. (“IS&S” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ISSC) today announced its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2024, which ended December 31, 2023.
For the first quarter of fiscal 2024, IS&S reported net sales of $9.3 million, up 43% from $6.5 million in the first quarter a year ago. The Company reported net income of $1,057,350, or $0.06 per share, increases of 51% and 50%, respectively, compared to $698,651, or $0.04 per share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.
Gross profit in the first quarter of 2024 was $5.5 million, or 59.3% of sales, compared to $3.7 million, or 57.1% of sales in the first quarter of 2023.
Sales and earnings in the first quarter of 2024 continued to benefit from the product lines acquired from Honeywell International, Inc. (“Honeywell”) pursuant to an exclusive license and asset acquisition that closed in the third quarter of 2023.
Shahram Askarpour, Chief Executive Officer of IS&S, said, “We are pleased to report another quarter of year-over-year growth in both revenues and earnings. The integration of the product lines acquired from Honeywell is progressing and ongoing. These products complement our existing portfolio of products, offer recurring revenues, and introduce IS&S to a new market segment. As we continue to generate gross margins approaching 60% and strong cash flow, our debt position was reduced to $10.6 million as of December 31, 2023, or approximately $8.9 million less than just three months ago. Revenues were up 43% in the quarter, keeping us on pace with our goal to grow annualized revenues by approximately 40% compared to our pre-acquisition revenue levels upon the completion of the integration.”
For the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company generated $4.2 million of cash flow from operations.
New orders in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 were approximately $10.4 million. Backlog as of December 31, 2023, was $14.6 million. Only purchase orders in hand are included in our sales backlog, which primarily consists of orders from our OEM customers that have long-term programs—Pilatus PC-24, Textron King Air, Boeing T-7 Red Hawk and the Boeing KC-46A. IS&S expects these programs to remain in production for approximately a decade and anticipates that they will continue to generate future sales. Due to their nature, the products licensed from Honeywell do not typically enter backlog.
