Forward guidance
The company expects higher shipment levels in the final quarter of 2021, with fourth quarter revenues projected to be between $115 million and $118 million.
Tailwinds
- Expecting to close 2021 with a higher shipment level in the final quarter.
- Shipping volume is expected to continue to strengthen as we move into 2022.
- The AMJP is expected to contribute approximately $7.3 million to gross profit as an offset to cost of goods sold in the fourth quarter
- At the end of the third quarter, the Company had backlog of $354 million, of which $113 million is expected to ship in the fourth quarter.
- The company expects additional cash inflows over the next several quarters related to an earn out from the 2019 sale of its semiconductor test business, an approximate $10 million tax refund and improved sales volumes.
Headwinds
- Supply chain challenges introduce a level of uncertainty.
- The actual benefit between the two quarters may differ from these estimates based on actual payroll attribution for the eligible employee group.
- Test business continued to experience lower-than-expected bookings in the third quarter, which we continue to believe is caused mostly by the pandemic.
- Test system sales were down $7.9 million compared with the prior-year period driven by lower defense and transit revenue caused by COVID-related delays.
- Test Systems operating loss was negatively affected by lower volume and $1.0 million in legal fees related to infringement claims and contractual disputes.
