CPI Aerostructures Reports First Quarter 2023 Results

CPI Aerostructures, Inc. (“CPI Aero” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: CVU) today announced financial results for the three month period ended March 31, 2023.

“Our first quarter 2023 revenue was 9.5% higher than first quarter 2022 coupled with a 410 basis point increase in gross profit margin. In addition to stronger operational performance, we benefited from significant reductions in factory overhead and SG&A costs. We generated $3.3 million more in cash flow from operations this quarter compared to Q1 of 2022 due primarily to higher net income and an increase in customer progress payments to support the onboarding of our new programs. We reduced our debt in the first quarter 2023 by $0.7 million and entered into a twelfth amendment to our credit facility extending the maturity date of our revolving line of credit and term loan to November 30, 2024,” said Dorith Hakim, President and CEO. “We remain focused on exceeding our customers' performance expectations and are confident in CPI Aero’s long term outlook as we continue to build on our backlog of $515.8 million as of March 31, 2023.”
