“We reported solid full-year results, delivering 3.8% increased revenue and a 4.7% increase in gross profit in 2023. Our net income, including the deferred tax asset valuation allowance reduction of $14.2 million described below, was up 87.5% with EPS up 88.8% from prior year. We generated $3.9 million in cash flow from operations during 2023, which allowed us to reduce debt by $2.7 million,” said Dorith Hakim, President and CEO.
Added Ms. Hakim, “After reevaluating our net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”), and based on our performance outlook, we determined that the valuation allowance we maintain on our deferred tax asset should be reduced by $14.2 million, and we realized a tax benefit in the fourth quarter of 2023 of the same amount upon recording this reduction.”
“We ended the year with a strong backlog of $513.4 million, which includes multiple exciting new programs providing us an opportunity for continued growth in 2024. We remain confident in CPI Aero’s long-term outlook and look forward to the multiple opportunities ahead as we continue to build on our positive relationships with our customers.”
