MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY
'Our positive momentum carried over into the second quarter of fiscal 2025, with revenues more than doubling to $21.9 million and our adjusted EBITDA increasing by 219% to $7.7 million, compared to the same quarter last year' stated Shahram Askarpour, Chief Executive Officer of IS&S. 'The strong performance was driven by contributions from our F-16 product line and the air transport market.'
'We made important progress on our key growth initiatives during the quarter, keeping us on track to achieve our full year target of growing both revenue and EBITDA by more than 30%,' continued Askarpour. 'We made further investments in infrastructure and systems to support our defense customers, and we continue to see meaningful opportunities to expand our military business. The expansion of our Exton facility, which will increase capacity more than threefold, remains on track for completion by mid-year. The integration of our recently acquired Honeywell products continues to progress, including the training of our workforce and integration of the F-16 products into our facility. These actions are critical components of our growth strategy and our progress this quarter keeps us on target to achieve our multi-year growth objectives.'
'We completed the integration of our NetSuite Enterprise Resource Planning system during the quarter, which provides us a platform to efficiently scale our business,' stated Jeffrey DiGiovanni, Chief Financial Officer of IS&S. 'With our current cash balance and availability under our credit facility equaling more than $8.8 million, we remain in a strong financial position with ample liquidity to support our ongoing operations and facility expansion.'
'We continued to deliver on our strategic priorities during the second quarter, with important progress across our commercial, operational and capital allocation targets,' concluded Askarpour. 'We are building a scalable platform equipped to deliver integrated avionics solutions to a broad range of commercial and military customers, and our US-based manufacturing footprint and vertically integrated model uniquely positions us for success, especially in the current market environment. As we look forward to the second half of our current fiscal year, we remain encouraged by the momentum in our business and are committed to both delivering on our near-term financial targets as well as making long-term investments to scale our business and deliver value for our shareholders.'
SECOND QUARTER 2025 PERFORMANCE
Second quarter revenue was $21.9 million, an increase of 104% compared to the same period last year, driven by continued momentum in new military programs, contribution from the recently acquired Honeywell military product line and growth in the air transport market. Our results also included the benefit of some revenues related to the Honeywell military product lines that were pulled forward from future quarters. This quarter's results benefitted from a partial acceleration of production and sales of Honeywell's military product line in anticipation of Honeywell ceasing production at its own facilities and transitioning that production to the Company's facilities.
Gross profit was $11.3 million during the second quarter of 2025, up 102% from gross profit of $5.6 million in the second quarter of last year. The increase was driven by strong revenue growth and more favorable gross margins on the acquired products from Honeywell, and it was partially offset by investments in growth initiatives and higher depreciation expenses. As a result, in the second quarter of 2025, gross margin was 51.4%, down modestly from 52.0% during the second quarter of 2024, but up meaningfully from the 41.4% gross margin reported during 1Q25.
Second quarter 2025 operating expenses were $4.3 million, compared to $3.9 million in the second quarter of last year, reflecting incremental expenses from the Honeywell acquisitions, including $0.1 million of amortization expense, $0.1 million in employee related costs, and $0.1 million of acquisition and one-time expenses. Highlighting the opportunity for significant operating leverage as the business scales, operating expenses represented 19.6% of revenue during the second quarter, down meaningfully from 36.7% of revenues in the second quarter of last year.
Net income was $5.3 million, or $0.30 per diluted share during the second quarter, compared to net income of $1.2 million, or $0.07 per share in the second quarter of last year.
Adjusted EBITDA was $7.7 million during the second quarter, up from $2.4 million in the second quarter of last year.
New orders in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 were $20.8 million and backlog as of March 31, 2025, was $79.6 million. The backlog includes only purchase orders in-hand and excludes additional orders from the Company's OEM customers under long-term programs, including Pilatus PC-24, Textron King Air, Boeing T-7 Red Hawk, Boeing KC-46A, and Lockheed F-16.
BALANCE SHEET, LIQUIDITY AND FREE CASH FLOW
As of March 31, 2025, IS&S had total long-term debt of $27.4 million. Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2025, were $1.2 million, resulting in net debt of $26.2 million. As of March 31, 2025, IS&S had total cash and availability under its credit line of approximately $8.8 million.
Cash flow provided by operations was $3.1 million during the six months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $4.4 million in the same period last year. Capital expenditures during the six months ended March 31, 2025 were $1.8 million, versus $0.3 million in the year-ago period. Free cash flow was $1.3 million during the six months ended March 31, 2025 versus $4.1 million in the same period last year.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share ('EPS') and adjusted net cash provided by operating activities ('free cash flow') are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered substitutes for GAAP measures, net income (for EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA), diluted earnings per share (for adjusted diluted EPS) or net cash provided by operating activities (for free cash flow), which the Company considers to be the most directly comparable GAAP measures. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing the Company's operating performance, readers should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for net income, diluted earnings per share, net cash provided by operating activities or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Other companies in the Company's industry may define or calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently than the Company does, and accordingly, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
The Company defines EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. The Company believes EBITDA to be relevant and useful information to their investors because it provides additional information in assessing the Company's financial operating results. The Company's management uses EBITDA in evaluating operating performance, ability to service debt, and ability to fund capital expenditures and pay dividends. However, EBITDA has certain limitations in that it does not reflect the impact of certain expenses on the Company's consolidated statements of income, including interest expense, which is a necessary element of the Company's costs because the Company has borrowed money in order to finance operations, income tax expense, which is a necessary element of costs because taxes are imposed by law, and depreciation and amortization, which are necessary elements of costs because the Company uses capital assets to generate income. EBITDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, operating income, net income or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Furthermore, the Company's definition of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Below is our reconciliation of EBITDA to U.S. GAAP net income.
The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, transaction-related acquisition and integration expenses, and non-recurring items. The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it eliminates the impact of expenses that do not relate to ongoing business performance, and that the presentation of this measure enhances an investor's understanding of its financial performance.
Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool. For example, adjusted EBITDA:
does not reflect any cash capital expenditure requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized, which assets may have to be replaced in the future;
does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company's working capital needs;
excludes the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters the Company considers not to be indicative of its ongoing operations;
does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on the Company's debt; and
excludes certain tax payments that may represent a reduction in available cash.
Free cash flow is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. The Company believes that free cash flow is an important financial measure for use in evaluating financial performance because it measures the Company's ability to generate additional cash from its business operations.
A reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is set forth below.

CCTV Script 13/08/2025
The market has largely viewed the latest overnight release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation report in a positive light. The nominal CPI rose by 2.7% year-on-year, slightly below the expected 2.8%. The report also indicated stronger-than-expected inflation in service, while goods inflation came in lower than anticipated. These figures have reinforced market expectations for a rate cut and boosted the performance of U.S. stocks overnight. Specifically: All three major U.S. stock indices rose by more than 1% overnight, with the S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite both closing at record highs. According to CME FedWatch, the market's probability of a 25-basis-point rate cut by the Federal Reserve in September has increased from 85.86% the previous day to 94.93%. Although the market widely expects a rate cut in September, the focus among those supporting the move varies. Some are paying attention to inflation trends, while others are closely monitoring employment data. First, regarding the impact of Trump's tariff policies on inflation, expert opinions are divided. One camp argues that the effect of tariffs on U.S. inflation is actually quite limited. "Now you have six months of evidence, I don't really think tariffs cause inflation. Taxes don't cause inflation. And so what you're seeing in the data is very muted effects that are one time increases in the price level." It's worth noting that James Bullard is currently considered a top candidate for the next Federal Reserve Chair. In an interview with CNBC overnight, he also stated that he expects the Fed to cut rates by a total of 100 basis points over the next year. Meanwhile, another camp in the market warns that the impact of tariffs on inflation may gradually become more apparent in the future. Experts caution that, in addition to nominal CPI, it's crucial to monitor the trajectory of core CPI. "We are seeing a little bit of an uptick in the sequential core inflation and underlying inflation data. And I think a large part of that is the moderate impact we're seeing of tariff pass through that that is likely to grow in the months ahead." Additional analysis points out that while businesses may absorb costs in the short term, they will ultimately pass them on to consumers, particularly in industries with already narrow profit margins. "For instance, groceries, I mean, there's very little margin there. They're going to, you know, your tomato prices are going to go up because of because they can't really absorb, you know, those prices. It's just a matter of time that this, that the tariff related inflation starts to show up in the data." Finally, it's noteworthy that no consensus has yet been reached within the Federal Reserve regarding the pace of future rate cuts. Currently among Fed officials, Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller represent the dovish camp advocating for . However, Jeffrey Schmid, President of the Kansas City Fed struck a hawkish tone overnight, arguing for . With moderate voices further complicating the divide, analysts suggest that even if the Fed initiates a cut in September, the pace may remain measured due to persistent internal disagreements.

Firefly Aerospace eyes Japan rocket launches for Asia market
By Kantaro Komiya TOKYO (Reuters) -Firefly Aerospace is exploring an option to launch its Alpha rocket from Japan as the U.S. rocket maker expands its satellite launch services globally, a Japanese company operating a spaceport in the country's northern Hokkaido said on Monday. The plan could make Japan the second offshore launch site - and first in Asia - for Firefly, the Texas-based rival to Elon Musk's market leader SpaceX, which had its Nasdaq debut earlier this month and is preparing for an Alpha launch in Sweden. Space Cotan, operator of the Hokkaido Spaceport located about 820 km (510 mi) northeast of Tokyo, said it and Firefly signed a preliminary agreement to study the feasibility of launching the small-lift rocket Alpha from there. Launching Alpha from Japan "would allow us to serve the larger satellite industry in Asia and add resiliency for U.S. allies with a proven orbital launch vehicle," Adam Oakes, Firefly's vice president of launch, said in a statement published on Space Cotan's website. A feasibility study would be conducted to assess the regulatory hurdles, timeframe and investments for a launch pad for Alpha in Hokkaido, said Space Cotan spokesperson Ryota Ito. The plan would require a space technology safeguards agreement (TSA) between Washington and Tokyo that would allow American rocket launches in Japan, Ito added. The governments last year kicked off the negotiations but have not reached an agreement. A U.S.-Sweden TSA signed in June cleared the path for Firefly's launches from the Arctic. Four of Firefly's six Alpha flights since 2021 have ended in failure, most recently in April. While Japan's national space agency has launched rockets for decades, private rockets are nascent and most Japanese satellite operators rely on foreign options such as SpaceX's Falcon 9 or Rocket Lab's Electron. Previously, U.S. company Virgin Orbit aimed to use Japan's southwest Oita Airport for launches but the plan was scrapped after the firm went bankrupt in 2023. Colorado-based Sierra Space has an ongoing plan to land its spaceplane on Oita beyond 2027. Taiwanese firm TiSpace last month conducted what could be the first foreign launch in Hokkaido, but the suborbital flight failed within a minute. Japan's government is targeting 30 launches of Japanese rockets a year by the early 2030s and subsidises domestic enterprises such as Space One and Toyota-backed Interstellar Technologies.
