Tel-Instrument Electronics Corp. Reports Financial Results for Second Quarter FY 2025


Tel-Instrument Electronics Corp. ("Tel-Instrument," "TIC," or the "Company") (OTCQB: TIKK), a leading designer and manufacturer of avionics test and measurement solutions, today reported a net loss of $815K ($0.28) per basic and per diluted share, on revenues of $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2025 fiscal year, ended September 30, 2024.

Notes On Second Quarter:

Mr. Jeffrey O'Hara, Tel-Instrument's President and CEO commented, "The second quarter was again impacted by late deliveries of key components for all of our major product lines. The abnormally low margins in the second quarter were a combination of low shipments causing large negative manufacturing margins plus CRAFT ECP engineering expenses running over budgeted levels. The good news is our current sales backlog is over $9 million and we are negotiating a substantial increase in the CRAFT ECP production contract as well as a multi-year IDIQ with Northrup Grumman for the CRAFT and MADL product lines. We are now in receipt of all required parts for our major product lines and the third and fourth quarters should show a marked improvement in both revenues, profitability, and cash position. The $1.55 million MADL contract will commence full-rate production in the fourth quarter of this fiscal year. The CRAFT ECP is currently in Navy platform and AIMS testing and we are requesting a limited rate initial production ("LRIP") contract starting in the fourth quarter of this fiscal year. Once full rate production commences, this is expected to increase revenues by around $5 million per year.

We are making a significant investment in our SDR-OMNI marketing program with the hiring of two dedicated sales professionals. This marketing effort has been hampered by parts availability issues caused by delays associated with insourcing PCB production to the United States to comply with DOD requirements. We are still making solid headway in both the commercial and military markets. We will be shipping the initial Airbus units this month as well as SDR-OMNI/MIL units to both domestic and overseas customers. The SDR-OMNI/MIL is the only multi-purpose avionic test set in the market that meets Class 1 military environmental specifications. While DOD procurement for new test sets is normally an extended process, the SDR-OMNI/MIL has the potential to generate millions of dollars of annual revenues as it has been designed to replace thousands of obsolete test sets currently in use by the U.S. military and our NATO allies."
