1. CPI Aero's Q2 2025 revenue fell to $15.2 million from $20.8 million. 2. Q2 2025 gross profit dropped to $0.7 million from $5.1 million. 3. A-10 Program termination led to a $2.3 million write-off. 4. Company's debt decreased to $16.2 million, improving balance sheet. 5. Strong backlog of $506 million from new program awards.
The significant decline in revenues and profits reflects operational challenges. Historical precedence shows that heightened losses usually correspond to negative market reactions in similar tech firms.
The financial deterioration and A-10 Program fallout may negatively influence CVU's valuation metrics. Existing investors may reassess their positions given the evident struggles the company is facing.
Immediate financial results indicate operational struggles, likely impacting investor sentiment. Short-term focus is warranted as markets react quickly to quarterly reports.
Second Quarter 2025 vs. Second Quarter 2024
Six Months 2025 vs. Six Months 2024
EDGEWOOD, N.Y., Aug. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CPI Aerostructures, Inc. ("CPI Aero" or the "Company") (NYSE:CVU) today announced financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
"During the second quarter we took a $2.3 million write-off on the A-10 Program as a result of the termination of the Program by The Boeing Company and the pending retirement of the A-10 fleet. Our six-month ended June 30, 2025 impact related to the A-10 Program was $4.5 million.
"Without the impact of the terminated A-10 Program, we performed well as we continued the transition to our new programs and achieved key development milestones such as the first Advanced Tactical Flight Pod delivery to Raytheon.
"We also continued to improve our balance sheet during the second quarter, bringing our total debt down to an all-time low of $16.2 million and our Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA Ratio to 2.7 excluding the impact of the A-10 Program," continued Dorith Hakim, President and CEO.
Concluded Ms. Hakim, "We remain committed to optimizing our portfolio and transitioning from legacy programs to programs of the future. As a result, we ended the quarter with a strong backlog of $506 million, which includes multiple new program awards from Raytheon, Sikorsky, Lockheed, the US Air Force and Embraer. Looking ahead we will continue to capitalize on the multiple growth opportunities leveraging our long-standing relationships with our customers."
As disclosed in the Form 10-Q filed today, management identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to the classification of debt pending an amendment to a debt covenant. Management believes this has no bearing on the financial results for the second quarter and is implementing the necessary steps to remediate the matter.

Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures
Note: (1) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined as GAAP income from operations plus depreciation, amortization and stock-compensation expense.
Adjusted EBITDA as calculated by us may be calculated differently than Adjusted EBITDA for other companies. We have provided Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is a commonly used measure of financial performance in comparable companies and is provided to help investors evaluate companies on a consistent basis, as well as to enhance understanding of our operating results. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as either an alternative to income from operations or net income or as an indicator of our operating performance or an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. The adjustments to calculate this non-GAAP financial measure and the basis for such adjustments are outlined below. Please refer to the following table below that reconciles GAAP income from operations to Adjusted EBITDA.
The adjustments to calculate this non-GAAP financial measure, and the basis for such adjustments, are outlined below:
Depreciation. The Company incurs depreciation expense (recorded in cost of sales and in selling, general and administrative expenses) related to capital assets purchased, leased or constructed to support the ongoing operations of the business. The assets are recorded at cost or fair value and are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of individual assets.
Stock-based compensation expense. The Company incurs non-cash expense related to stock-based compensation included in its GAAP presentation of cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses. Management believes that exclusion of these expenses allows comparison of operating results to those of other companies that disclose non-GAAP financial measures that exclude stock-based compensation.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company expects to continue to incur expenses similar to the Adjusted EBITDA financial adjustments described above, and investors should not infer from the Company's presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure that these costs are unusual, infrequent, or non-recurring.
Reconciliation of income from operations to Adjusted EBITDA is as follows:
| Three months ended | Six months ended | ||||||
| June 30, | June 30, | ||||||
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | ||||
| Income From Operations | (1,990,642) | 2,339,489 | (3,176,944) | 3,179,334 | |||
| Depreciation | 88,598 | 102,846 | 187,365 | 202,413 | |||
| Stock Based Compensation | 168,583 | 175,535 | 488,812 | 457,058 | |||
| Adjusted EBITDA | (1,733,461) | 2,617,870 | (2,500,767) | 3,838,805 | |||
| A-10 Termination | 2,322,831 | - | 4,468,528 | ||||
| Adjusted EBTDA Excluding A-10 adjustment | 589,370 | 2,617,870 | 1,967,761 | 3,838,805 | |||
