Mitchell Binder, President and CEO of Orbit International commented, "After completing and reporting our first half of operating results, which was a challenging period for our Company, we were somewhat optimistic going into the second half of 2025. Delivery schedules were lined up more favorably for our legacy businesses. However, a single supply chain issue undermined a large scheduled shipment for our OPG during the quarter and approximately $1,400,000, scheduled for delivery, has been delayed until the first quarter of 2026. Although the units were substantially complete and our customer paid approximately 89% of the total order, we were unable to recognize revenue of approximately $1,240,000 resulting in an incremental profitability loss of approximately $620,000. Our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $4,317,000 ($1.30 loss per share) compared to a net loss of $394,000 ($0.12 loss per share) for the prior comparable period. EBITDA, as adjusted, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was a loss of $3,506,000 ($1.05 loss per share) compared to a loss of $199,000 ($0.06 loss per share) in the prior comparable period."
Binder added, "Our current third quarter operating results were negatively affected by the aforementioned delayed shipment as well as lower sales by our Orbit Electronics Group ("OEG") inclusive of our Simulator Product Solutions LLC ("SPS") subsidiary. Our consolidated net loss for the third quarter was approximately $875,000 ($0.26 loss per share) and our EBITDA, as adjusted, loss was $508,000 ($0.15 loss per share). However, exclusive of legal fees incurred in connection with the termination of the former President of SPS, a one-time banking modification fee and the approximate incremental profitability loss at OPG of $620,000 due to a single supply chain issue, our EBITDA, as adjusted would have been income of approximately $195,000."
Binder added, "Operating results for SPS for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2025, were adversely impacted by lower sales in the current period, a consequence of reduced bookings in the second half of 2024 caused by contract delays that were eventually awarded in 2025. Prior period revenues during 2024 were positively impacted by higher bookings during the 2023 fiscal year. Bookings were also negatively affected by ongoing opportunities that have not yet finalized in 2025 and certain lost opportunities, primarily due to lack of funding or our customer losing awards to competitors. Bookings for SPS in 2025 have since improved from the second half of 2024. In addition, we had incurred significant infrastructure costs in 2023 and 2024 in order to support SPS' sales increase since the Company's acquisition of the SPS business in 2022. At the time of the SPS acquisition, we anticipated the need to invest in infrastructure and internal controls in order to bring SPS up to the standards of a public company. However, after several quarters of personnel and cost increases, we have taken precautionary measures to trim certain costs as we continue to align our organization to support our growth while striving to improve our operating results. Our cost reduction efforts are expected to reduce annual SPS expenses by approximately $750,000."
Mr. Binder added, "Our sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, decreased significantly to $15,724,000 compared to $21,190,000 from the prior year comparable period. This decrease in sales was primarily attributable to significantly lower sales at both our OEG and our OPG although the reduction at OPG was directly attributable to the supply chain issue. As previously mentioned, the lower sales at our OEG were attributable to lower bookings in the second half of 2024 due primarily to contract delays, which are an inherent risk in contracting with the U.S. government and its prime contractors."
Mr. Binder further added, "Our gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, decreased to 24.4% compared to 32.8% in the prior year comparable period. The decrease in gross margin during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily reflected significantly lower OEG gross margins due to a reduction in sales which resulted in a higher percentage of overhead and other fixed costs relative to sales. The decrease in gross margin also reflected a slightly lower gross margin at our OPG due to lower sales as a result of the aforementioned supply chain issue."
Mr. Binder added, "For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, selling, general and administrative expenses were $7,873,000, compared to $7,698,000 during the prior year comparable period, an increase of $175,000. The increase was primarily due to a more than $500,000 increase in SPS expenses, which was partially offset by lower OPG expenses and lower corporate expenses. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses at SPS was principally due to more than $245,000 of expenses incurred for (i) an outside engineering firm engaged to modify legacy drawings as well as bill of material part identification that was developed prior to the acquisition and (ii) legal fees incurred in connection with the litigation associated with the SPS acquisition and the termination of the former President of SPS. The engineering firm was needed to conform drawing documentation to the actual manufacturing procedures to build SPS products as well as to comply with internal inventory controls. This was in addition to more than $200,000 in engineering fees that were incurred in the fourth quarter of 2024."
Mr. Binder continued, "Backlog at September 30, 2025, was approximately $12,700,000 compared to approximately $12,000,000 at December 31, 2024, an increase of approximately 5.8%. This increase in backlog is reflective of a general increase in bookings from our OPG and SPS, and despite a decrease in bookings from our Orbit Instrument division during the first nine months of 2025. Our Orbit Instrument division has faced numerous delays on follow-on contracts from one customer which should have added approximately $1,800,000 in bookings to date, but which we hope can be recorded prior to year end. Additional proposals to the same customer, totaling approximately $3,700,000, are expected in the first half of 2026. This total of approximately $5,500,000 in proposals for this division is exclusive of other follow-on proposals to other customers. Contract delays are an inherent part of doing business with the U.S. Government."
David Goldman, Chief Financial Officer, noted, "At September 30, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents aggregated approximately $159,000 and borrowings under our $4,000,000 Line of Credit ("LOC") were $3,300,000. However, as of November 7, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents have increased to approximately $1.3 million and borrowings under our LOC have decreased to $2,475,000. Furthermore, during the current third quarter, we renewed our LOC for another year until September 1, 2026. Our book value per share at September 30, 2025 was $4.04, which compares to $4.31 at June 30, 2025 and $5.34 at December 31, 2024. (Note: book value per share does not include any additional value for our fully reserved deferred tax asset.) To offset future federal and state taxes resulting from profits, we have approximately $2.7 million and $0.4 million in available federal and New York State net operating loss carryforwards, respectively."
Mr. Binder added, "Because our revenues are tied to delivery schedules specified in our contracts, it is often difficult to judge our performance on a quarterly basis. Our operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, resulted from weak bookings in the second half of 2024 that primarily emanated from contract delays. These contract delays have carried over into 2025 and, in particular, have adversely affected our Orbit Instrument division, which has historically been our most profitable business. Although we received some of the contracts during the course of the year, the number of proposals for follow-on business has significantly grown with outstanding proposals from this division totaling $8,700,000 waiting to be awarded. A portion of these awards are expected in the current fourth quarter with the remainder expected in the first half of 2026. Once we begin receiving these awards, we expect that out Orbit Instrument division can record higher revenue and improved profitability, utilizing the operating leverage that is inherent in our business."
Mr. Binder concluded, "We continue to evaluate the impact of tariff announcements and are evaluating their impact on the cost of our products. We are addressing the tariffs in a number of ways, including a pass through to our customers, adjusting our pricing, negotiating with our vendors or seeking out alternative sources. We've been proactive in moving some of our foreign vendors to countries that are not expected to be materially affected by tariffs."

(1) The EBITDA (as adjusted) tables presented are not determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Management uses EBITDA (as adjusted) 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 (as adjusted) 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, income taxes, fair value adj.-contingent liabilities (earn-out) and other non-current liability, contingent liability (legal matter) and stock-based compensation. EBITDA (as adjusted) as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly named measures reported by other companies.
