"Stadco incurred an operating loss of $1.3 million during fiscal year 2025 first quarter, due to our inability to close the Votaw Precision Manufacturing transaction," stated Alexander Shen, TechPrecision's Chief Executive Officer. "We recognized a change in fair value of $0.4 million for a one-time non-cash breakup fee from the termination of the Votaw acquisition, there were no additional shares issued. That change in fair value fell directly to our bottom line for the first quarter. In addition the Stadco quarter was impacted by one of the economies of scale we expected to realize with the Votaw acquisition. Our plan was to move Stadco work to the Votaw plant and use the Votaw machinery. Due to delayed repair and maintenance on the Stadco machinery, we suffered through put issues on our projects."

"Customer confidence remains high as our backlog was $41.2 million at June 30, 2024," Mr. Shen continued. "We expect to deliver our backlog over the course of the next one to three fiscal years with gross margin expansion. First quarter consolidated revenue were $8.0 million or 8% higher when compared to $7.4 million in the fiscal 2024 first quarter," "First quarter consolidated revenue were bolstered by projects with relatively higher contract values during the first quarter of 2024 as compared with the same period a year ago. However, consolidated gross margin shrank due primarily the result of higher production costs and under-absorbed overhead at Stadco."
