- Second consecutive quarter of record revenue, up 46% year-over-year
- Organic revenue (non-GAAP)(1) increased 23% year-over-year
- Orders grew 55% year-over-year to $32.7 million driven by acquisitions and strength in analog/mixed signal test and silicon carbide (SiC) production markets
- Achieved second consecutive quarter of record backlog at $47.9 million
- Reported net income growth of 16% to $2.5 million and diluted EPS up 15% to $0.23 year-over-year
- Expects 2022 revenue at higher end of original range of $110 million to $115 million despite continued headwinds from supply chain constraints and a strong U.S. dollar
MT. LAUREL, N.J. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — November 4, 2022 — Nick Grant, President and CEO, commented, “We delivered another strong quarter that demonstrates our ability to execute, maintain focus on our target markets, deliver quality engineered solutions and leverage our expanding sales presence. Our team continues to address supply chain challenges which have caused disruption of production processes and higher costs. We are continuing to identify new supply sources and flex production to address the challenges while communicating regularly with customers regarding shipment timing. Despite these headwinds, we converted record revenue to net income growth of 16%.”
Mr. Grant continued, “Our 5-Point Strategy keeps us focused on driving value. We are gaining new customers, finding new applications for our solutions and continually innovating to drive growth. We have been especially encouraged with the strength in demand for our induction heating solution for silicon carbide (SiC) crystal growth as that technology rapidly expands from the benefits provided with its higher energy conversion efficiencies. We also continue to have strong demand for our test equipment for analog and mixed signal semiconductor production as well as our highly controlled thermal test solutions for lab applications. Importantly, our acquisitions and organic businesses are driving continued growth in our target markets with strong demand for our highly engineered solutions in defense, security, electric vehicles (“EV”) and life sciences.”
