Management Commentary

"Our team delivered a strong performance in the first quarter. Net sales increased 42.7% to $19.2 million year-over-year and increased 4.0% on a sequential basis. Our gross profit margin was 29.8% in line with our target of 30%. For the second quarter in a row, we delivered an operating profit, which reflected our ongoing commitment to driving improved profitability even with some challenging and persistent market conditions. Non-GAAP EPS came in at $0.04 and our Adjusted EBITDA was $867,000. The first quarter financial results demonstrate the powerful operating leverage of our business model," said Robert Dawson, Chief Executive Officer of RF Industries.

"Our first quarter results were driven by a more favorable product mix, with solid performance across our entire portfolio, including our higher margin interconnect product offerings like DAC thermal cooling and small cell shrouds. Our wire harness and distribution businesses also made solid contributions to the quarter."

"From a customer diversification standpoint, the large Tier 1 carriers, neutral hosts, traditional distribution and industrial blue-chip customers, all had a meaningful impact this quarter. We are moving in the right direction toward a more balanced customer contribution, which positions us well for sustainable growth and resilience through future cycles and will create long-term value for our stakeholders."
