Nortech Systems Inc (NSYS) Q1 2025 Earnings Call Highlights: Navigating Challenges with ...

Release Date: May 14, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Nortech Systems Inc (NASDAQ:NSYS) has seen stabilization in its customer backlog as of March 31, 2025, compared to the end of 2024, indicating potential future growth. The company is well-positioned with its North American footprint, leveraging the USMCA framework to mitigate tariff impacts and enhance competitiveness. Nortech Systems Inc (NASDAQ:NSYS) is actively pursuing near-shoring strategies, which have been implemented faster than many competitors, reducing exposure to Chinese tariffs. The company is focusing on innovation with advancements like the expanded beam Extreme fiber optic technology (EBX) and active optical Extreme (AOX) hybrid technology, which align with industry trends towards fiber optics. Nortech Systems Inc (NASDAQ:NSYS) is committed to sustainability, with fiber optic solutions offering environmental benefits such as improved energy efficiency and reduced carbon footprint. Net sales for the first quarter of 2025 decreased by 21.4% compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to delays in aerospace and defense customer approvals. Gross profit margin decreased to 11.1% from 15.9% in the prior year, impacted by lower net sales and decreased manufacturing productivity. The company incurred $266,000 in restructuring costs related to severance charges and expenses from the closure of the Blue Earth facility. Operating cash flow was negative, with net cash used in operating activities totaling $2.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2025 was negative $1 million, a significant decline from $1.6 million in the same period of 2024. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with NSYS. Q: Can you provide more details on the impact of the Blue Earth facility closure on your aerospace and defense revenues? A: Jay Miller, CEO: The closure of our Blue Earth facility and the transfer of customer programs to Bemidji, Minnesota, led to unexpected delays due to slow customer approvals. This negatively impacted our aerospace and defense revenues in Q1 2025 and Q4 2024. We expect this headwind to continue but decrease in Q2 2025, with a return to normalcy in the second half of 2025. Q: How are tariffs affecting Nortech's operations, particularly with facilities in China and Mexico? A: Jay Miller, CEO: The imposition of tariffs is a concern, but Nortech operates under a maquiladora structure in Mexico, reducing direct exposure. In China, our strategy focuses on near-shoring, with production primarily for the local market, minimizing tariff impacts. We are adjusting customer pricing and sourcing strategies to mitigate any adverse effects. Q: What steps is Nortech taking to manage operating costs amid current challenges? A: Jay Miller, CEO: We have taken significant actions to reduce our cost structure, including closing the Blue Earth facility, reducing headquarters lease space, and managing headcount based on current metrics. These efforts are part of our strategy to align with the new norm of supply chain near-shoring and improve long-term growth. Q: Can you elaborate on Nortech's strategic focus on fiber optic technology? A: Jay Miller, CEO: We are focusing on fiber optic technology, such as our EBX and AOX products, to meet the growing demand for high-speed, reliable connectivity solutions. These technologies offer environmental benefits and align with sustainability goals, providing a competitive edge in the aerospace and defense markets. Q: What are Nortech's top priorities for 2025? A: Andrew LaFrannz, CFO: Our priorities include strengthening the balance sheet, reducing inventory investments, aligning operations with market demand, and driving improvements in free cash flow. We aim to deliver sustainable long-term growth through disciplined operations, expense management, and R&D innovation.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Adjustments ESAB has provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ('non-GAAP'). ESAB presents some of these non-GAAP financial measures including and excluding Russia due to economic and political volatility caused by the war in Ukraine, which results in enhanced investor interest in this information. Core non-GAAP financial measures exclude Russia for the three months ended April 4, 2025 and March 29, 2024. These non-GAAP financial measures may include one or more of the following: adjusted net income from continuing operations, Core adjusted net income from continuing operations, adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, Pension settlement loss, Restructuring and other related charges, acquisition-amortization and other related charges and depreciation and other amortization), Core adjusted EBITDA, organic sales, Core organic sales, adjusted free cash flow and ratios based on the foregoing measures. ESAB also provides adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin on a segment basis, as well as Core adjusted EBITDA and Core adjusted EBITDA margin on a segment basis. Adjusted net income from continuing operations represents Net income from continuing operations attributable to ESAB Corporation, excluding Restructuring and other related charges, acquisition-amortization and other related charges and Pension settlement loss. Adjusted net income, includes the tax effect of non-GAAP adjusting items at applicable tax rates and excludes the impact of discrete tax charges or gains in each period. ESAB also presents adjusted net income margin from continuing operations, which is subject to the same adjustments as adjusted net income from continuing operations. Adjusted net income per diluted share from continuing operations is a calculation of adjusted net income from continuing operations over the weighted-average diluted shares outstanding. ESAB also presents Core adjusted net income from continuing operations and Core adjusted net income per share - diluted from continuing operations, which are subject to the same adjustments as Adjusted net income from continuing operations and Adjusted net income per diluted share from continuing operations, further removing the impact of Russia for the three months ended April 4, 2025 and March 29, 2024. Adjusted EBITDA excludes from Net income from continuing operations the effect of Income tax expense, Interest expense and other, net, Restructuring and other related charges, acquisition-amortization and other related charges, Pension settlement loss and depreciation and other amortization. ESAB presents adjusted EBITDA margin, which are subject to the same adjustments as adjusted EBITDA.

ESAB presents organic sales, which excludes the impact of acquisitions and foreign exchange rate fluctuations and presents core organic sales, which further excludes the impact of the Russia business for the three months ended April 4, 2025 and March 29, 2024. Adjusted free cash flow represents cash flows from operating activities excluding cash outflows related to discontinued operations, less Purchases of property, plant and equipment. These non-GAAP financial measures assist ESAB management in comparing its operating performance over time because certain items may obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult, as they are of a nature and/or size that occur with inconsistent frequency or relate to unusual events or discrete restructuring plans and other initiatives that are fundamentally different from the ongoing productivity and core business of the Company. ESAB management also believes that presenting these measures allows investors to view its performance using the same measures that the Company uses in evaluating its financial and business performance and trends. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information calculated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures presented above to GAAP results has been provided in the financial tables included in this press release.
