The earnings call shows strong financial performance with over 100% revenue growth, significant increases in net income and EBITDA, and improved cash flow from operations. Despite margin pressures and increased capital expenditures, the company is expanding facilities and maintaining financial covenants. The Q&A indicates no major concerns, with ongoing hiring and acquisition plans. Although there is some uncertainty about future margins and ERP impact, the overall sentiment is positive, especially with the strong revenue growth and optimistic outlook. The absence of a share repurchase program slightly tempers the sentiment.
Revenue $21.9 million, up over 100% year-over-year, driven by contributions from the Honeywell military product line and growth in the air transport market.
Product Sales $13.2 million, significantly up from $4.9 million last year, primarily due to the recently acquired military product line.
Service Revenue $8.8 million, largely from customer service sales associated with the Honeywell product lines, including $3 million from the F-16 program.
