CPI Aerostructures Reports Second Quarter and Six Month 2023 Results

CPI Aerostructures, Inc. (“CPI Aero” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: CVU) today announced financial results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023.

“Our second quarter 2023 revenue was 8.6% higher than second quarter 2022 coupled with a 310 basis point increase in gross profit margin. Our six-month income from operations increased by $2.3 million as of June 30, 2023 compared to 2022 due to stronger operational performance and change in mix between our military subcontracts, government military subcontracts and MRO services. We generated $3.0 million more in cash flow from operations for the first six months of 2023 compared to 2022 due primarily to higher net income while increasing our contract assets in support of our new programs and, reduced our debt by $1.5 million,” said Dorith Hakim, President and CEO. “We remain focused on delivering value to our customers and are confident in CPI Aero’s long-term outlook as we continue to build on our backlog of $510 million as of June 30, 2023.”
