July 10, 2025 16:01 ET | Source: Frequency Electronics, Inc. MITCHEL FIELD, N.Y., July 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Frequency Electronics, Inc. (“FEI” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ-FEIM) is reporting revenues for the three and twelve months ended April 30, 2025, of approximately $20.0 million and $69.8 million, respectively, compared to revenues of $15.6 million and $55.3 million, for the same period of fiscal year 2024, ended April 30, 2024. Operating income for the three and twelve months ended was $3.3 million and $11.7 million, respectively, compared to an operating income of $2.5 million and $5.0 million, respectively. for the same period of fiscal year 2024. Net Income from operations for the three and twelve months ended April 30, 2025 was $3.3 million or $0.34 per diluted share and $23.8 million or $2.48 per diluted share, respectively, compared to a net income from operations for the three and twelve months ended April 30, 2024 of $2.6 million or $0.28 per diluted share and $5.6 million or $0.59 per diluted share, respectively. FEI President and CEO, Tom McClelland commented, “The fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 was another excellent financial quarter, for the Company. In fact, the fourth quarter was the highest revenue quarter for the company in the past twenty-five years! Margins and operating income were historically high also, resulting in excellent results for the fiscal year. We have demonstrated strong growth over the past several years, and I believe the growth potential for our company is expanding even further. That being said, it must be recognized that the recently ended quarter benefitted from strong execution that allowed the company to produce revenue and profit on several programs in FY25 that were originally scheduled to start in FY25 and continue in FY26 and beyond. I am very proud of this performance by a clearly dedicated and committed FEI workforce; however, while the trend is very much an upward one, it is unreasonable to expect every quarter in the near-term to replicate this performance, though in the medium and longer term I am confident it is where we are headed. “The recently passed US budget legislation clearly shows the strong administration commitment to space and defense we have been anticipating, however it is also clear that this administration is re-thinking the overall space architecture and the procurement process to achieve it. We have already seen this in the form of several re-directed proposal efforts. FEI has anticipated this, and is well prepared for it. While the impact on our business in the short term is somewhat unpredictable, we believe the medium to longer term trends are even more positive than we previously believed. “To maintain our position, and stay competitive, FEI is continuing to invest internal funds, in a very targeted fashion, to create products which can be incorporated into space and other defense applications with little or no customization; in order to support much faster execution and realization of needed capabilities in space. Our targeted allocation of internal R&D funds is supplemented by external funding, especially for quantum sensor applications. Examples are our on-going compact very high-performance rubidium atomic clock (TuRbo), NV Diamond magnetometer, and Rydberg sensor development activities. “As I have said previously, FEI is well positioned to succeed in the growing quantum sensor market based on our expertise in atomic clocks. Quantum sensing is a very real and exciting growth opportunity for FEI and we look forward to sharing more developments this fiscal year, including at our Second Annual Quantum Sensing Summit, to be held in New York City on October 29-30. To maintain and in fact enhance our capabilities we are actively hiring scientists and engineers with expertise in this arena, and have benefited from the staff reductions and turmoil at government laboratories. “All and all, I am happy with our performance, vigilant regarding the changes in Washington, and very enthusiastic about our future.” Fiscal Year 2025 Selected Financial Metrics and Other Items For the three and twelve months ended April 30, 2025, revenues from satellite payloads were approximately $12.1 million, or 60%, and $40.9 million or 59%, respectively, of consolidated revenues compared to approximately $6.9 million, or 44%, and $23.2 million or 42%, respectively, for the same periods of the prior fiscal year.For the three and twelve months ended April 30, 2025, revenues for non-space U.S. Government/DOD customers were approximately $7.0 million, or 35%, and $26.5 million or 38%, respectively, of consolidated revenues compared to approximately $7.9 million, or 51%, and $29.0 million, or 52%, respectively, for the same periods of the prior fiscal year.For the three and twelve months ended April 30, 2025, revenues from other commercial and industrial sales accounted for approximately $0.9 million, or 4%, and $2.4 million or 3%, respectively, of consolidated revenues compared to approximately $0.8 million, or 5%, and $3.1 million, or 6%, respectively, for the same periods of the prior fiscal year.Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $1.4 million in the twelve months of fiscal year 2025, compared to net cash provided by operations of $8.7 million for the same period of fiscal year 2024.Backlog at April 30, 2025 was approximately $70 million compared to $78 million at April 30, 2024.
