Positive Outlook
- Combined sales pipeline and opportunities have never been stronger.
- Financial performance during the second half of fiscal 2022 is still expected to improve versus the first half of fiscal 2022.
- Q3’s consolidated net sales and Adjusted EBITDA are expected to approximate $122.0 million and $10.0 million, respectively.
- Approximately 85% and 50%, respectively, of our Q3 and Q4 targeted revenues in our backlog.
- The fundamental demand drivers for our business have not changed.
Challenges Ahead
- The Russia/Ukraine military conflict and geopolitical uncertainty in Europe have created a new set of pressures.
- Anticipated funding for other expected orders, including for our satellite and space communications products, has been shifted to other programs and/or temporarily delayed as a result of a change in defense spending priorities.
- The aggregate amount of the aforementioned items approximated $35.0 million and we are no longer including these opportunities in our updated fiscal 2022 consolidated net sales and Adjusted EBITDA targets.
- Global supply chain disruptions on our customers and the possibility of extended purchase decision cycles or delays in execution.
- Global supply chain constraints and COVID-19 pandemic aftershocks will continue to pressure our component availability and pricing, and impact logistics costs.
