Exhibit 99.1
Innovative Solutions & Support, Inc. Announces Sales and Net Income for the 4th Quarter and Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2006.
Exton, PA.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—December 6, 2006—Innovative Solutions & Support, Inc. (NASDAQ:ISSC-news) today announced results for the 4th quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2006.
Sales in the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2006 were $4.6 million and $16.7 million, respectively. This compared with the prior fourth quarter and prior fiscal year of $8.2 million and $63.3 million, respectively. As anticipated, fiscal year 2006 represented a transition year as the Company shifted its primary focus from selling Air Data equipment to initiating important market development and related programs for its Flat Panel Display System product line. To support this transition, the Company continued to invest heavily in Research and Development (R&D). In the fourth quarter R&D spending amounted to $1.6 million or 35% of sales; for the fiscal year, R&D spending totaled $6.7 million or 40% of sales. In the fourth quarter and fiscal year, the Company incurred a $949,000 net loss ($0.06 per fully diluted share) and a $2,882,000 net loss ($0.17 per fully diluted share), respectively. These losses are in comparison to net income of $1.2 million ($0.07 per fully diluted share) in the fourth quarter of 2005 and net income of $18.6 million ($1.02 per fully diluted share) for fiscal year 2005.
During the fiscal year the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program through June 30, 2006 of up to two million shares of its common stock. As a result, the Company repurchased 1,272,510 shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $18.1 million.
Please refer to the accompanying schedules highlighting our Statement of Operations and Balance Sheet.
Mr. Ptakowski, President of Innovative Solutions and Support, Inc., commented “Our fiscal year 2006 performance was largely anticipated given the FAA mandated deadline for Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) installations has passed and that the lead times for Flat Panel Display System programs are not insignificant. While we clearly would have preferred to continue to grow our financial results during this period of product transition, we are nonetheless encouraged by the significant acceptance of our Flat Panel Display Systems and attainment of critical milestones. During the year, we announced critical marketing partnerships and experienced new orders totaling $18.9 million from a diverse customer base and broad program mix. Highlighted below are selected examples:
PROGRAM | | CUSTOMER | | ORDER VALUE |
B-737 | | Jet Partners | | $7.0 million |
Pilatus PC-12 | | Western Aircraft | | $2.3 million |
Citation | | Columbia | | $2.3 million |
Pilatus PC-12 | | EPPS Aviation | | $2.2 million |
B-747 | | Kalitta Air | | $2.1 million |
C-130 | | Marshall Aerospace | | $1.5 million |
KDC-10 | | Boeing | | $0.7 million |
In contrast, fiscal 2005 Flat Panel Display System orders totaled $8.2 million. New orders in fiscal 2006 increased $10.7 million or 130% over 2005. Flat Panel sales in fiscal 2006 were $6.4 million, an increase over the prior year of $2.3 million or 56%. Flat Panel Display System backlog at September 30, 2006 was $18.3 million in contrast with the prior year’s $5.8 million. This represented an increase over the prior year Flat Panel backlog of $12.5 million or 216%. This backlog contains awards that the Company views as momentum orders because they establish current standards of excellence in older airplanes and we believe that entire fleets will become candidates for retrofit in subsequent periods.”
