Management and our employees have intently focused on achieving a stable shipping cadence, improving gross profit and margin by minimizing disruptions from production schedule changes.<\/i><\/p>\n
The significantly improved results of the third quarter confirm that this effort was successful.<\/i><\/p>\n
The Company expects the improved financial performance will continue for the fourth quarter and into 2027. Our confidence has been bolstered by net sales in October 2026 of approximately $5.6 million. This is consistent with, actually in excess of, monthly revenues for the just ended third quarter. Further, forecast sales for the remaining two months of 2026 and for calendar year 2027 are supported by a backlog of firm customer orders totaling $95.4 million.<\/i><\/p>\n

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS<\/b><\/p>\n
\nCertain matters discussed in this press release are ‘forward-looking statements’ intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In particular, the Company’s statements regarding trends in the marketplace, future revenues, earnings and Adjusted EBITDA, the ability to realize firm backlog and projected backlog, cost cutting measures, potential future results and acquisitions, are examples of such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the ability of the Company to consummate the contemplated merger with Tenax Aerospace Acquisition, LLC, the timing of projects due to variability in size, scope and duration, the inherent discrepancy in actual results from estimates, projections and forecasts made by management, regulatory delays, changes in government funding and budgets, and other factors, including general economic conditions, not within the Company’s control. The factors discussed herein and expressed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission could cause actual results and developments to be materially different from those expressed in or implied by such statements. The forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this press release and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update such forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.<\/p>\n
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES<\/b><\/p>\n
\nThe Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, a Non-GAAP financial measure as defined by the SEC, as a supplemental profitability measure because management finds it useful to understand and evaluate results, excluding the impact of non-cash depreciation and amortization charges, stock based compensation expenses, and nonrecurring expenses and outlays, prior to consideration of the impact of other potential sources and uses of cash, such as working capital items. This calculation may differ in method of calculation from similarly titled measures used by other companies and may be different than the EBITDA calculation used by our lenders for purposes of determining compliance with our financial covenants. This Non-GAAP measure may have limitations when understanding performance as it excludes the financial impact of transactions such as interest expense necessary to conduct the Company\u2019s business and therefore are not intended to be an alternative to financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company has not quantitatively reconciled its forward looking Adjusted EBITDA target to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because items such as amortization of stock-based compensation and interest expense, which are specific items that impact these measures, have not yet occurred, are out of the Company\u2019s control, or cannot be predicted. For example, quantification of stock-based compensation is not possible as it requires inputs such as future grants and stock prices which are not currently ascertainable.<\/p>\n
