Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation with respect to the interim financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year ending April 30, 2026. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended April 30, 2025, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions, including estimates of anticipated contract costs and revenue utilized in the revenue recognition process, that affect the reported amounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and operating results of wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Specifically, the Company’s disaggregated revenue disclosure and disclosure of revenue by segment and the segment disclosures for prior periods have been recast to conform to the new segments and new measure of segment profitability.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue is generated pursuant to written contractual arrangements to design, develop, manufacture and/or modify complex products and to provide related engineering, technical and other services according to the specifications of its customers. These contracts may be firm fixed price (“FFP”), cost plus fixed fee, cost plus award fee, and cost plus incentive fee (collectively “Cost Plus”), or time and materials (“T&M”). The Company considers all such contracts to be within the scope of ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”).

Performance Obligations

On January 31, 2026, the Company had approximately $1,120,675,000 of remaining performance obligations under fully funded contracts with its customers, which the Company also refers to as funded backlog. The Company currently expects to recognize approximately 39% of the remaining performance obligations as revenue in fiscal 2026 and the remaining 61% in fiscal 2027 or beyond.

Each of these contract types presents advantages and disadvantages. Typically, the Company assumes more risk with FFP contracts. However, these types of contracts generally offer additional profits when the Company completes the work for less than originally estimated. Cost Plus contracts generally subject the Company to lower risk. Accordingly, the associated base fees are usually lower than fees on FFP contracts. Under T&M contracts, the Company’s profit may vary if actual labor hour rates vary significantly from the negotiated rates.

Contract Balances

Changes in the contract asset and liability balances during the three and nine month periods ended January 31, 2026 were not materially impacted by factors other than billings, cash collections, and timing of revenue recognition. For the Company’s contracts, there are no significant gaps between the receipt of payment and the transfer of the associated goods and services to the customer for material amounts of consideration.

Revenue recognized for the three and nine month periods ended January 31, 2026 that was included in customer advances balances as of April 30, 2025 was $335,000 and $12,112,000, respectively. Revenue recognized for the three and nine month periods ended January 25, 2025 that was included in customer advances balances as of April 30, 2024 was $1,701,000 and $9,662,000, respectively.

Investments

Investments

The Company’s investments are accounted for as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses for debt securities are excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, net of deferred income taxes for available-for-sale investments. Gains and losses realized on the disposition of investment securities are determined on the specific identification basis and credited or charged to income. Investments in equity securities and warrants are measured at fair value with net unrealized gains and losses from changes in the fair value recognized in other income (expense), net. Management determines the appropriate classification of securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled receivables and retentions, and accounts payable approximate cost due to the short period of time to maturity.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable

The Company is party to a receivables sales agreement with Citibank, N.A. with an aggregate capacity of $100,000,000. The receivables sold under the factoring facilities are without recourse for any customer credit risk and result in a true sale. Receivables are de-recognized in their entirety when sold. As of January 31, 2026, no receivables have been sold, proceeds collected, or purchase discount fees incurred under the agreement.

Government Contracts

Government Contracts

Payments to the Company on government Cost Plus or T&M contracts are based on provisional, or estimated indirect rates, which are subject to an annual audit by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (“DCAA”). The cost audits result in the negotiation and determination of the final indirect cost rates that the Company may use for the period(s) audited. The final rates, if different from the provisional rates, may create an additional receivable or liability for the Company for Cost Plus and T&M contracts.

For example, during the course of its audits, the DCAA may question the Company’s incurred costs, and if the DCAA believes the Company has accounted for such costs in a manner inconsistent with the requirements under Federal Acquisition Regulations, the DCAA auditor may recommend to the Company’s administrative contracting officer to disallow such costs. Historically, the Company has not experienced material disallowed costs as a result of government audits. However, the Company can provide no assurance that the DCAA or other government audits will not result in material disallowances for incurred costs in the future. The Company’s revenue recognition policy calls for revenue recognized on all cost reimbursable government contracts to be recorded at estimated full year rates unless collectability is not reasonably assured. At January 31, 2026 and April 30, 2025, the Company had no reserve for incurred cost claim audits.

(Loss) Earnings Per Share

(Loss) Earnings Per Share

Basic (loss) earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, excluding shares of unvested restricted stock.

The reconciliation of basic to diluted shares is as follows (in thousands except share data):

Due to the net loss for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2026, no shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of stock options or shares of unvested restricted stock were included in the computation of diluted loss per share as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive shares not included in the computation of diluted weighted-average common shares because their effect would have been anti-dilutive were 326,724 and 344,723 for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2026, respectively. Potentially dilutive shares not included in the computation of diluted weighted-average common shares because their effect would have been anti-dilutive were 200,667 and 265 for the three and nine months ended January 25, 2025, respectively.
