Innovative Solutions & Support, Inc. (“IS&S” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ISSC) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2023, which ended September 30, 2023.
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, IS&S reported net sales of $13 million, up 79% from $7.3 million in the fourth quarter a year ago. The Company reported net income of $2.6 million, or $0.15 per share, increases of 63% and 67%, respectively, compared to $1.6 million, or $0.09 per share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.
Gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $8.1 million, or 62% of sales, compared to $4.5 million, also 62% of sales in the fourth quarter of 2022.
The increase in sales and earnings in the fourth quarter of 2023 primarily reflects the impact of the previously announced addition of the product lines acquired from Honeywell International, Inc. (“Honeywell”) pursuant to an exclusive license and asset acquisition that closed in the third quarter of 2023.
Shahram Askarpour, Chief Executive Officer of IS&S, said, “I am pleased to report our fifth consecutive year of both top and bottom-line growth as a result of one of the best quarters in the Company’s recent history. The results include some customer-directed accelerated shipments of the acquired Honeywell products to mitigate any impacts from potential delivery delays over the next two quarters as equipment and inventory are transferred to IS&S. The ongoing integration of the Honeywell product lines is proceeding well, and we remain confident that annualized revenues will increase by approximately 40% from pre-acquisition levels once operations have been fully integrated in fiscal 2024. The integration of the Honeywell product lines enhances our current product offerings in the Air Transport, Military and Business Aviation Markets and has provided us with an introduction to numerous operators with whom we did not previously have relationships, thereby opening a large new market opportunity for our other products.”
For the fiscal year 2023, the Company generated $2.1 million of cash flow from operations. The Company had $3.1 million of cash on hand as of September 30, 2023, which has increased during the quarter ended December 31, 2023 because of the collection of receivables and the sale of the Company’s King Air aircraft. As of December 19, 2023 the Company’s cash on hand is currently over $8 million.
New orders in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 were approximately $12.7 million and were $36.5 million for the full fiscal 2023 year. Backlog as of September 30, 2023, was $13.5 million. Only purchase orders in hand are included in our sales backlog, which primarily consists of orders from our OEM customers that have long-term programs-- Pilatus PC-24, Textron King Air, Boeing T-7 Red Hawk and the Boeing KC-46A. IS&S expects these programs to remain in production for approximately a decade and anticipates that they will continue to generate future sales. Due to their nature, the products licensed from Honeywell do not typically enter into backlog.
Full Year Fiscal 2023 Results
Total revenues for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, were $34.8 million, up 26% from $27.7 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022. Net income for fiscal 2023 was $6.0 million, or $0.35 per share, compared to $5.5 million, or $0.32 per share, in fiscal 2022. Net income in fiscal 2022 included a $1.1 million gain on the sale of an asset.
