Overview

U.S. electronics maker's Q1 sales rose yr/yr, net loss narrowed from prior period

Gross margin for Q1 improved to 23.3% from 12.4% a year earlier

Sales growth driven by delayed Orbit Power Group (OPG) shipment and improved Simulator Product Solutions (SPS) bookings, offset by weak Orbit Instrument division

Outlook

Company expects improved operating results at SPS to continue throughout 2026 if booking trends persist

Orbit Instrument division expects contract awards in first half of 2026, but timing remains uncertain

Company says production awards for Q-Vio prototype orders not expected before 2027

Result Drivers

DELAYED OPG SHIPMENT - A supply chain issue pushed a $1.4 mln Orbit Power Group shipment into Q1, boosting sales and segment profitability

WEAK ORBIT INSTRUMENT SALES - Contract delays and slow follow-on awards led to lower sales and margins at Orbit Instrument division

IMPROVED SPS BOOKINGS - Simulator Product Solutions saw higher bookings and sales, supporting improved results despite higher legal fees
