Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (CMTL-11.35%) has submitted its 10-Q filing for the quarterly period ended January 31, 2025.
The filing reports a decrease in consolidated net sales to $126.6 million from $134.2 million in the same quarter the previous year, reflecting lower sales in both the Satellite and Space Communications and Terrestrial and Wireless Networks segments.
Gross profit for the quarter was $33.7 million, down from $43.2 million the previous year, with the gross margin decreasing to 26.7% from 32.2%. This decline was attributed to changes in product mix and lower sales.
Operating loss for the quarter was $10.3 million, compared to an operating income of $3.0 million in the prior year. The loss includes $5.0 million in amortization of intangibles and $3.4 million in restructuring costs.
Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $22.4 million, compared to $30.5 million in the previous year. The current quarter's loss included $26.4 million in adjustments to reflect the redemption value of convertible preferred stock.
Cash flows used in operating activities were $0.2 million for the quarter. Excluding restructuring costs and other one-time expenses, cash flows provided by operating activities would have been $5.4 million.
Comtech announced the launch of its new ELEVATE 2.0 multi-orbit SATCOM platform, designed to connect users with satellite communications across all orbits.
The company also reported a backlog of $763.8 million as of January 31, 2025, with a book-to-bill ratio of 0.63x for the quarter.
Comtech's management is focused on addressing liquidity challenges and has implemented a strategic transformation plan, including exploring strategic alternatives and reducing investments in working capital.
The company amended its credit facility and entered into a subordinated credit agreement to improve liquidity, but substantial doubt remains about its ability to continue as a going concern over the next year.
