CPS TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2021 RESULTS
Norton, Massachusetts, April 29, 2021. CPS Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ:CPSH) today announced revenues of $4.9 million and an operating profit of $36 thousand for the quarter ended March 27, 2021. This compares with revenues of $6.5 million and an operating profit of $622 thousand for the quarter ended March 28, 2020.
Grant Bennett, President and CEO, said: “As the impact of the pandemic begins to subside, revenues in the first quarter 2021 showed continuing improvement over revenues in the third and fourth quarters of 2020, even though revenues in the first quarter were lower than the same period a year ago. We previously commented that in the first quarter 2020 customers accelerated deliveries because of supply chain uncertainties as the pandemic began to spread. We also commented last quarter that we felt the fourth quarter 2020 was the low point in terms of reduced demand caused by the pandemic. Our first quarter 2021 results confirm this to be the case. Revenues in the first quarter 2021 were 17% higher than the fourth quarter 2020, and in the first quarter our bookings were significantly above shipments.
Looking at the bigger picture, although our AlSiC baseplate business remains sluggish due to the slow recovery of high speed trains and mass transit as a result of the pandemic, we are delighted at seeing significant increases in demand for our hermetic packaging products, primarily for aerospace and defense, and we are seeing increased interest and quotation activity in our armor product line. The first quarter did not include any revenue from shipments of our HybridTechTM Armor panels for crew-served weapons stations; we have begun shipping under the previously announced order in the current quarter; these shipments will be reflected in our second quarter 2021 revenues.
As part of the Defense Industrial Base, CPS has been open and operating throughout the pandemic. To date all of our major customers remain open and operational. The pandemic has depressed demand, particularly for baseplates, but most customers are experiencing or at least forecasting improvement in their businesses as more people are vaccinated and government-mandated closures are lessening. These observations do not mean that CPS will be unaffected by the pandemic going forward, but we currently see demand increasing rather than declining going forward. We remain very optimistic about our 2021 performance.
We continue to follow federal and state guidelines in our workplace regarding the pandemic. Shifts remain staggered to reduce employee overlap, workstations have been rearranged to ensure social distancing, all employees are using facemasks, etc.
