DUBLIN, Calif., June 29, 2022 (OTCQB: GIGA) -Giga-tronics Incorporated ("Giga-tronics" or the "Company") today reported results for the fourth fiscal quarter and year ended March 26, 2022:
Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year 2022 Review

|
o |
Microsource's filter revenue decreased 54% compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 primarily due to lower order activity. |
|
o |
Giga-tronics Division's revenue increased to $260,000 in the fourth quarter of 2022 versus $180,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 |
|
● |
Gross profit of $400,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 decreased as compared to $830,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 mainly due to the decrease in revenue. |
|
● |
Total operating expenses decreased by $90,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 versus the same period in the prior fiscal year. |
|
● |
Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 was $1.2 million or ($0.42) per basic share compared to net loss of $0.8 million or ($0.32) per basic share in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 primarily due to lower revenue coupled with transaction expenses of $210,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. |
|
● |
Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for net other income or expense, share-based compensation, and certain one-time income or expense items) was a loss of $0.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $0.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. |
|
● |
The Company has announced that it has entered into a share exchange agreement with BitNile Holdings, Inc. ("BitNile") providing for Giga-tronics' acquisition of Gresham Worldwide, Inc. ("Gresham"), a global provider of proprietary, purpose-built electronic solutions to military and leading defense companies around the world in the areas of Radio Frequency ("RF") devices, power electronics as well as automated test and missile launch applications. The Company expects to complete this transaction in August 2022. |
Full Fiscal Year 2022 Review
|
● |
Fiscal 2022 full year net revenue was $9.0 million, a 31% decrease as compared to $13.1 million for full year fiscal 2021. |
|
● |
The majority of the net revenue decrease in fiscal 2022 was attributable to the Giga-tronics Division which decreased by $2.9 million due to a decrease in orders. The decrease in Microsource revenue in fiscal 2022 was primarily due to a decrease of new orders. |
|
● |
The cost of revenue of the Giga-tronics Division was $627,000 or 81% of its revenue. Giga-tronics Division's cost of revenue was adversely impacted by the low volume of shipments resulting in high material costs and large variances. The cost of revenue for Microsource was $5.1 million or 62% of its revenue. The combined gross profit for the Company decreased by 2% over the prior fiscal year due to higher percentage of Microsource revenue in fiscal 2022. Total gross profit was $3.3 million with a 36% gross margin. |
|
● |
Total operating expenses in fiscal 2022 decreased 3% to $5.9 million from $6.0 million in fiscal 2021. Engineering expenses decreased by $1.0 million or 46% during fiscal 2022 compared to fiscal 2021, primarily due to an engineering services contract which caused engineering expenses to be charged to cost of revenue, as well as due to the engineering hours charged to capitalization of software, lower consulting expenses and reduction in personnel expenses on account of lower headcount. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 6% or $216,000 primarily due to increased personnel related expenses including the addition of staffing in sales and additional stock based compensation. In addition, the Company incurred $611,000 of transaction expenses related to the proposed share exchange transaction with BitNile and Gresham. |
|
● |
Net loss attributable to common shareholders for fiscal 2022 was $2.8 million or ($1.00) per basic share compared to a net loss of $0.4 million or ($0.15) per basic share in fiscal 2021. The net loss was primarily due to the decrease in net revenue for the Giga-tronics Division along with transaction costs in fiscal 2022. The net loss in fiscal 2021 was reduced by a one-time gain of $791,000 on the Paycheck Protection Program loan extinguishment in fiscal 2021. |
|
● |
Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $1.3 million in fiscal 2022 compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $0.5 million in fiscal 2021. |
John Regazzi, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said, "Our fourth quarter and full year performance was disappointing, as we faced headwinds throughout the year related to lower-than-expected order activity and shipments for our microwave filter and RADAR/EW divisions. The success of our business as it relates to order and shipment activity is largely tied to the procurement procedures and timelines of the Department of Defense, and unfortunately the award process continued to be negatively impacted by Department of Defense staffing shortages and remote work which slowed the contract evaluation process. That said, we were pleased to have recently received an order valued at $783,000 for the Company's RADAR/EW Threat Emulation System (TEmS). The range market segment is relatively new for Giga-tronics, and the Company's technology will play a critical role in the development, testing, and fielding of a new advanced weapon system program of record for the United States Air Force F-35 program. The order was placed through a new multi-year Task Order under a $28 billion Department of Defense contract vehicle. With the apparent return to a more normalized level of contract award activity, we enter fiscal 2023 well positioned with our unique product capabilities."
Lutz Henckels, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer stated, "We remain optimistic about the long-term prospects for our business. Our pending combination with Gresham remains on track, and we look forward to joining our mutual capabilities to expand our presence in the Electronic Warfare, RF Solutions and Filter and Power conversion verticals. The combination is expected to add scale and production capacity, which we believe will further strengthen our market position as a reliable provider of state-of-the-art solutions for defense and EW emulation applications."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures: Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that does not have a standardized definition under U.S. GAAP. The Company has provided this non-GAAP measure in this press release because management believes it measures the Company's operating performance and free cash flow in a manner useful to investors. The Company defines "Adjusted EBITDA" as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization adjusted for net other income or expense, share-based compensation and certain one-time income or expense items.
