     123  0 Kommentare Sypris Reports Second Quarter Results

    Sypris Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq/GM: SYPR) today reported financial results for its second quarter ended July 5, 2020. Having completed a series of strategic initiatives over the past several years, Sypris Solutions is now better positioned to achieve long-term growth and a return to profitable operations. These steps have included reducing and realigning the Company’s cost structure while diversifying its book of business in terms of both customers and markets.

    Results for the second quarter of 2020 fundamentally reflected these expectations, highlighted by the improved performance of Sypris Electronics. The global economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was felt in the majority of the Company’s markets during the quarter, however the essential nature of the defense and communication programs served by Sypris Electronics allowed this segment to sustain operations near planned levels. The Company expects customer demand will improve sequentially in its other markets during the third quarter, albeit with continued uncertainty related to the pandemic.

    HIGHLIGHTS
    ─────────────────────

    • The Company’s second quarter revenue decreased 29.8% compared to the prior-year quarter and 23.5% sequentially, reflecting lower market volumes driven by the temporary closure of customer operations in response to the pandemic, while the subsequent restart of operations in June has had a corresponding positive impact on demand.
    • Sypris Electronics revenue increased 28.3% during the quarter compared to the prior-year period and 11.5% sequentially, supported by a strong backlog of orders, which has increased 22.5% since year-end 2019.
    • Sypris Electronics gross profit increased 72.9% and 61.6% on a year-over-year and sequential basis, respectively. Gross margin increased 470 basis points compared to the prior year and 570 basis points sequentially to 18.3%.
    • As a result of the higher levels of shipments, operating margins for Sypris Electronics increased to 10.6%, reflecting a material improvement over its historical results on both a year-over-year and sequential basis.
    • Sypris Technologies revenue decreased 55.9% during the quarter compared to the prior-year period and 45.7% sequentially due to many customers idling operations throughout the quarter in response to the pandemic. These operations have since reopened, resulting in a positive impact on demand.
    • During the second quarter, the Company completed the sale of its 90-year-old former manufacturing facility that was located on approximately 20 acres of land in Louisville, Kentucky, for $1.7 million. The facility had been closed and unoccupied since the fourth quarter of 2017.
    • The Company secured a $3.6 million loan in May under the Paycheck Protection Program of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Securities Act. The proceeds have been used to cover payroll costs, rent and utility costs in accordance with the terms and conditions of the loan.
    • Subsequent to quarter-end, Sypris Electronics announced an initial contract award from the Leonardo DRS Naval Electronics business unit to manufacture and test electronic assemblies for a shipboard system with production to begin during 2020.
    • Subsequent to quarter-end, Sypris Technologies announced the award of orders for projects in Brazil and Canada. The contracts, which provide for the use of Ultra-High-Pressure closures in the Libra Oil Field deep water project in Brazil and Double-Bolt closures in the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion project in Canada, call for shipments to begin in the second half of 2020.

    “While the economic headwinds and disruptions in the quarter had an impact on our results, we are pleased with our performance during the period,” commented Jeffrey T. Gill, President and Chief Executive Officer. “In the face of unprecedented challenges brought on by the pandemic, our businesses pulled together to protect our people, while balancing the needs of our customers, communities and business partners during these difficult times.

    “Revenue for Sypris Electronics increased 28.3% from the prior-year quarter and 11.5% sequentially, reflecting its strong backlog and improved electronic component availability. Sales are up 67.6% for the first half of 2020 compared to the prior year, while backlog has increased 22.5% since year-end. We have been designated as an essential supplier to our customers serving the defense and communications industries and as such, our team has done an excellent job making sure that we were able to provide for their increasing needs during the period.

    “The temporary closure of operations by customers serving the energy, automotive, commercial vehicle, sport utility and off-highway markets had a significant impact on Sypris Technologies during the months of April and May, before we began to see demand recover in June. The outlook going forward has much improved with all customer plants open at this time. It is worth noting that this business of ours has remained profitable on a year-to-date basis, which is a remarkable feat and serves as testimony to the capabilities of our people.

    “Sypris Technologies has also been designated as an essential supplier to our customers serving the energy and transportation sectors of our country and as a result, our team will continue to take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that the needs of our customers are reliably met without delay.”

    Concluding, Mr. Gill said, “Our customer base and the markets we serve are considerably more diversified than at any point in our recent history. As an essential business, we have a responsibility to ensure that our defense, communications, energy and transportation sectors remain vibrant. We will continue to monitor developments, act promptly to mitigate the risks and take the necessary steps required to ensure deliveries continue to be made in a timely manner.”

Additionally, the Company reported a net loss of $0.3 million for the second quarter, or $0.02 per share, compared to net income of $1.5 million, or $0.07 per share, for the prior‑year period. Results for the quarter ended July 5, 2020, include net gains of $0.8 million from the sale of idle assets by Sypris Technologies. Results for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, include a gain of $1.5 million in connection with a contract settlement with one of its customers.

The Company reported a net loss for the six-month period of $0.7 million, or $0.03 per share, compared with a net loss of $1.5 million, or $0.07 per share, for the prior year period.

    Sypris Technologies

    Revenue for Sypris Technologies was $7.4 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $16.9 million for the prior-year period, primarily reflecting reduced demand attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic coupled with the anticipated cyclical decline in the commercial vehicle market. Gross profit for the second quarter was $0.2 million, or 3.1% of revenue, compared to $3.0 million, or 17.6% of revenue, for the same period in 2019.

    Sypris Electronics

    Revenue for Sypris Electronics was $9.7 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $7.6 million for the prior-year period. Shipments during the second quarter reflected the fact that our customer base serving the defense and communications markets remained open at near normal levels throughout the period. Additionally, many of the challenges faced during the prior year with electronic component shortages and extensive lead-times have been resolved. Gross profit for the quarter was $1.8 million, or 18.3% of revenue, compared to $1.0 million, or 13.6% of revenue, for the same period in 2019.

    Outlook

    Commenting on the future, Mr. Gill added, “First and foremost, we are focused on the health and safety of our employees, their families and our customers. We are closely monitoring local, state and federal government agencies and will follow all recommendations. The environment is changing rapidly with regard to customers, suppliers and public policy, and we are paying close attention to developments on a daily basis. The extent and duration of the impacts that the pandemic may have on our business are not known at this time, but we are monitoring developments as we seek to navigate the challenging conditions in our markets.

    “As anticipated, the impact of the pandemic has been felt less on customers in defense-related markets and as a result, the outlook for Sypris Electronics remains positive. We have seen a rebound in orders within the commercial vehicle market since June, resulting in an improvement in our outlook for Sypris Technologies to approach pre-pandemic expectations during the second half of 2020. While the energy market continues to be volatile, we continue to see wins on important large projects around the world.

    “Our operations have remained open to meet the important needs of our customers who serve defense, communications, energy, transportation and other critical infrastructure industries. We expect the road back for the economy to be a potentially uncertain journey.”

In March 2020, the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. COVID-19 continues to spread throughout the United States and other countries across the world, and the duration and severity of its effects are currently unknown. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted, and is likely to continue to result, in significant economic disruption and has and will likely adversely affect our business.
