Orbit International Corp. Reports 2010 Fourth Quarter and Year-End Results

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Orbit International Corp. (NASDAQ:ORBT), an electronics manufacturer and software solution provider, today announced results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2010. The Company noted that the results for the final quarter and year were adversely affected by a non-recurring expense in connection with the non-renewal of the employment contract of its former President and CEO (“senior officer expense”) at 2010 year-end.

“We expect revenue and profitability to improve in 2011 due to a number of factors”

Fourth Quarter 2010 vs. Fourth Quarter 2009

  • Net sales declined by 7.3% to $6,946,000 compared to $7,489,000;
  • Gross margin declined to 32.6% from 42.3% due, in part, to 2010 inventory write-downs and inventory disposals due to obsolescence;
  • The net loss for the quarter was $3,028,000 ($0.66 loss per share) compared to a net loss of $1,580,000 ($0.36 loss per share). The net loss for the current period included a charge of $2,000,000 for the senior officer expense (including a non-cash charge of $312,000 due to accelerated stock vesting) and $924,000 of non-cash impairment charges taken in connection with recorded intangible assets and goodwill related to its Integrated Combat Systems, Inc. (“ICS”) subsidiary. Excluding these charges, the net loss for the quarter was $104,000; and,
  • For the final quarter of 2009, there was a net loss of $1,580,000 or $0.36 per share which included $2,048,000 of non-cash impairment charges taken in connection with recorded intangible assets and goodwill related to its ICS subsidiary.

Year End 2010 vs. Year End 2009

  • Net sales increased slightly to $26,749,000 from $26,518,000;
  • Gross margin was 35.4% compared to 40.5%;
  • The net loss for 2010 was $3,025,000 ($0.66 loss per share) compared to a net loss of $1,607,000 ($0.37 loss per share). The net loss for the current period included a charge of $2,000,000 for the senior officer expense (including a non-cash charge of $312,000 due to accelerated stock vesting) and $924,000 of non-cash impairment charges taken in connection with recorded intangible assets and goodwill related to its ICS subsidiary. Excluding these charges, the net loss for the year was $101,000; and,
  • For 2009, there was a net loss of $1,607,000 or $0.37 per share which included $2,048,000 of non-cash impairment charges taken in connection with recorded intangible assets and goodwill related to its ICS subsidiary.

Mitchell Binder, Acting Chief Executive Officer stated, “We expect revenue and profitability to improve in 2011 due to a number of factors:

  • Backlog at December 31, 2010 was $20.1 million, up 8.9% from $18.4 million at year-end 2009, which had been reduced by $2.1 million due to a cancelled order. In addition, our ICS subsidiary booked a $1.1 million order for the MK-437 in February 2011. The prior year’s order for the MK-437 was already reflected into our prior year-end backlog.
  • Additionally, 2010 was a good year for bookings. Our Behlman division booked $10.46 million in new orders, an 8.9% increase over 2009 and the Orbit Instrument division exceeded $11 million in new orders. Similarly, ICS and Tulip divisions also had a strong year of bookings.
  • Favorable trends continued in 2011; for January and February of 2011, bookings/orders aggregated approximately $4.9 million.
  • Our cost structure in 2010 included compensation for our former CEO, whose contact was not renewed at December 31, 2010. Without his compensation, our operating expenses in 2011 will be considerably lower than in 2010.
  • All goodwill and intangible assets of ICS have been entirely written off as of December 31, 2010.
  • In addition, we recently renegotiated the lease terms of our Hauppauge facility resulting in an expense reduction of approximately $100,000 per year effective January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2019.
  • Because of the operating leverage inherent in our business, a modest internal growth rate historically produces double digit bottom line improvement.”

Mr. Binder added, “We are focusing on growing our Company both organically and through acquisitions. While pursuing new business opportunities, we continue to harvest production orders and repeat business from what were once prototype awards. To grow our business faster and to achieve better utilization at our existing facilities, we are looking into synergistic acquisitions.”

David Goldman, Acting Chief Financial Officer, noted, “Due to the loss during the current fourth quarter and the liability associated with the senior officer expense, the Company was not in compliance with one of its financial covenants with its primary lender. The Company has met with its primary lender and is currently seeking a waiver for the fourth quarter and an amendment to the financial covenant for the first two quarters in 2011. The Company believes it will obtain such waiver and amendment from its lender, but there is no assurance that these will be obtained. In the event that the waiver and amendment are not obtained, all long-term debt reflected in the Company’s financial statements would be reclassified to current liabilities. The Company expects to be back in compliance with the original financial covenant by the third quarter.”

Mr. Goldman added, “Our financial condition remains strong. At December 31, 2010, total current assets were $19,566,000 versus total current liabilities of $4,560,000 for a 4.3 to 1 current ratio. Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2010 were approximately $2.1 million. To enhance future cash flow, we have approximately $22 million and $8 million in federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, respectively, to shield profits from federal and state taxes. Our tangible book value at December 31, 2010 decreased to $3.07 per share, compared to $3.45 per share at September 30, 2010, and $3.43 at December 31, 2009.”

(1) The EBITDA tables (as adjusted) presented are not determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Management uses adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the operating performance of its business. It is also used, at times, by some investors, securities analysts and others to evaluate companies and make informed business decisions. EBITDA is also a useful indicator of the income generated to service debt. EBITDA (as adjusted) is not a complete measure of an entity's profitability because it does not include costs and expenses for interest, depreciation and amortization, goodwill impairment, income taxes and stock based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly named measures reported by other companies. The weighted average diluted shares used for the three months and twelve months ended December 31, 2010 was 4,616,000 and 4,563,000, respectively; and for the three months and twelve months ended December 31, 2009 was 4,331,000 and 4,447,000, respectively.
