Mikros Systems Corporation (OTCQB:MKRS) today announced first quarter 2017 results.
Revenues for the first quarter of 2017 were $1,754,973, as compared to $987,929 for the first quarter of 2016, an increase of $767,044 or 78%. Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $651,536 compared to $324,328 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, an increase of $327,208 or 101%. As a percentage of revenue, cost of sales increased to 37% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to 33% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Finally, the Company reported net income of $90,307 for the first quarter of 2017 as compared to net income of $1,846 for the first quarter of 2016.
The increases in profits and revenue were largely the result of a new production order for the Company’s ADEPT systems and the receipt of six additional contracts for engineering services, support, repairs, and calibration services for the US Navy.
During the first quarter, Mikros continued to invest considerable resources in the further development and marketing of its Diagnostic Profiler(R) and Prognostics Framework(R) commercial offerings. This is a natural extension of the technology Mikros has developed for the US Navy to the commercial sector.
Highlights for the quarter included:
— production of 11 ADEPT Units which will be delivered in the fourth quarter
— extending our ADSSS(R) system to a second ship class, the Aegis surface combatant fleet, and to a fourth Navy radar system (the MK 99)
— receipt of multiple new contract awards and deliver orders, including providing training for our ADEPT(R) product line at Navy facilities throughout the world.
Tom Meaney, Mikros President and CEO, commented, “We are very pleased to deliver another strong quarter for our investors. We are now starting to see tangible results from the $83 million of IDIQ contracts we were awarded in the fourth quarter of 2016 and the first quarter of 2017. As we continue to generate additional delivery orders under these contracts, we expect increases in both revenue and net profit through the balance of the year.”
Mr. Meaney continued, “Another important element of our business plan is to deliver the benefits of condition based maintenance support to commercial customers. We continue to pursue select opportunities in these markets which have the potential to greatly expand the reach of our services and generate meaningful returns for our stockholders.”
