Current report
Revenue for the three months ended July 31, 2026, increased by over 69%, or $9.6 million, as compared to the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. This increase was due to significantly higher revenue in both segments. Revenue from commercial and U.S. Government communication satellite programs increased over 80%, or 5.2 million, and revenues from non-space U.S. Government/DOW customers increased over 61%, or $4.2 million, over the same period in the prior fiscal year.
Current report
For the three months ended July 31, 2026, both gross margin (“GM”) and GM Rate increased compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in GM was attributable to the $9.6 million increase in revenue compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The 9% improvement in GM Rate was attributable in part to product mix with the majority of programs running at targeted margins, and partially due to efficiencies recognized as programs mature.
Current report
For the three months ended July 31, 2026 and 2025, selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were approximately 18% and 26%, respectively, of consolidated revenues. While SG&A expenses as a percentage of consolidated revenues decreased approximately 8% versus the prior year period, the actual expenditures increased by $0.5 million. The increase in SG&A expenses during the three months ended July 31, 2026 related mostly to compensation expenses. See Note B to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q. SG&A as a percentage of revenue decreased 8% versus the same period of the prior year demonstrating positive operating leverage as a result of strategic headcount additions and process optimizations implemented over the prior year.

Inventories
Previous report
In accordance with industry practice, inventoried costs contain amounts relating to contracts and programs with long production cycles, a portion of which will not be realized within one year. Inventory write downs are established for slow-moving materials based on percentage of usage over a ten-year period, obsolete items on a gradual basis over five years with no usage and costs incurred on programs for which production-level orders cannot be determined as probable. Such write-downs are based upon management’s experience and estimates for future business. Any changes arising from revised estimates are reflected in cost of revenues in the period the revision is made.
Previous report
The revenue for the three months ended January 31, 2026 were lower than the revenues in the prior period partly as a result of certain space programs in the FEI-NY segment during the prior fiscal year that were expedited during that period due to very aggressive schedules. In addition, several new space bookings anticipated for the three months ended January 31, 2026 have been delayed and are now anticipated in fourth quarter of fiscal 2026.
Previous report
For the three months and nine months ended January 31, 2026, both gross margin (“GM”) and GM Rate decreased compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in GM and GM Rate were attributable to a change in the mix of high margin production satellite programs in the prior year periods versus lower margin programs with significant non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) effort during the three and nine months ended January 31, 2026.
Previous report
For the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were approximately 21% and 18%, respectively of consolidated revenues. For the nine months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, SG&A expenses were approximately 23% and 19%, respectively, of consolidated revenues. The increase in SG&A expenses during the three months ended January 31, 2026 was due to fluctuations in the various expense accounts that make up SG&A. For the nine months ended January 31, 2026 an increase in payroll related expenses, including stock-based compensation, and investments in the future growth of the Company, including expansion into Quantum sensing, including the opening of a Colorado facility, resulted in increased SG&A expenses. These increased SG&A expenses are expected to continue through the remainder of fiscal year 2026.

Previous wording
The statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) regarding future earnings and operations and other statements relating to the future constitute “forward-looking” statements pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements inherently involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Factors that would cause or contribute to such differences include but are not limited to, our inability to integrate operations and personnel, actions by significant customers or competitors, general domestic and international economic conditions, reliance on key customers, including the U.S government, continued acceptance of the Company’s products in the marketplace, competitive factors, new products and technological changes, product prices and raw material costs, dependence upon third-party vendors, other supply chain related issues, increasing costs for materials, operating related expenses, competitive developments, changes in manufacturing and transportation costs, the availability of capital, the outcome of any litigation and arbitration proceedings, and failure to maintain an effective system of internal controls over financial reporting. The factors listed above are not exhaustive. Other sections of this Form 10-Q and in Part I, Item 1A (Risk Factors) of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025 (the “Form 10-K”) include additional factors that could materially and adversely impact the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, the Company operates in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict the impact of all these factors on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not rely on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. Any or all of the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q and any other public statement made by the Company or its management may turn out to be incorrect. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

The Company believes its most critical accounting policies to be the recognition of revenue and costs on production contracts and the valuation of inventory. Both of these areas require the Company to make use of reasonable estimates including estimating the cost to complete a contract, the realizable value of its inventory and the market value of its products. Changes in estimates can have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. The Company’s significant accounting policies did not change during the three and nine months ended January 31, 2026.

Revenues are reported in operating results predominantly over time using the cost-to-cost method. Under this method, revenue is recorded based upon the ratio that incurred costs bear to total estimated contract costs with related cost of revenues recorded as the costs are incurred. Each month management reviews estimated contract costs through a process of aggregating actual costs incurred and estimating additional costs to completion based upon the current available information regarding labor, outside services, materials, overhead costs, and status of the contract. The effect of any change in the estimated gross margin rate (“GM Rate”) for a contract is reflected in revenues in the period in which the change is known. Provisions for the full amount of anticipated losses on contracts are made in the period in which they become determinable.

Approximately 67% of the backlog, as of July 31, 2026, is expected to be realized in the next twelve months. The Company excludes from backlog any contracts or awards for which it has not received authorization to proceed. On fixed price contracts, the Company excludes any unfunded portion. Over time, as partially funded contracts become fully funded, the Company will add the additional funding to its backlog. The backlog is subject to change for various reasons, including possible cancellation of orders, change orders, terms of the contracts and other factors beyond the Company’s control. Accordingly, the backlog is not necessarily indicative of future revenues or profits (losses) which may be realized when the results of such contracts are reported.

For the nine months ended January 31, 2026, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $235,161 which includes a discrete tax benefit of $1,180,802. The discrete income tax benefit is primarily due to stock compensation windfall deductions and a remeasurement of the net deferred tax asset due to a new state filing. The calculation of the overall income tax provision consists of current U.S. federal and state income taxes. For the nine months ended January 31, 2025, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $11.6 million which includes a discrete tax income benefit of $11.9 million. The discrete income tax benefit in the comparable period is primarily due to the release of the valuation allowance.
