VANCOUVER, Nov. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - Avcorp Industries Inc. (TSX: AVP) (the "Company", "Avcorp" or the "Avcorp Group") today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. All amounts are in Canadian currency unless otherwise stated.
2019 Highlights
Key financial results include:
- Third quarter 2019 revenue was $37,437,000 compared to $44,862,000 in the same quarter in 2018. The third quarter revenue was lower by $6,091,000, in comparison to the same quarter in 2018; after the benefit of amortization of the unfavourable contract liability is removed.
- Third quarter 2019 operating loss was higher by $335,000, in comparison to the same quarter in 2018; after the benefit of amortization of unfavourable contracts liability, onerous contracts provisions, net contract modification and the net claims impact have been removed. This was mainly due to the lower deliveries caused by Boeing 737 MAX grounding, labour disruption and new program start-up costs at the Delta facility offset by the consolidation of costs and improved operating effectiveness.
- On September 25, 2019 the Company reached a new labour agreement with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (Lodge 250) (the "Union") at its Delta, British Columbia facility. The six year labour agreement was ratified by the Union and will expire on March 31, 2025 bringing the company long term stability.
- Third quarter 2019 cash flows used in operating activities, before changes in non-cash working capital, increased by $276,000, relative to the same quarter in 2018.
- During the second quarter of 2019, the Company received all required approvals from Boeing for the 737 MAX spoiler program; subsequently, on July 5, 2019 the Company successfully shipped the first shipset. Production ramp up to support full contractual requirements is underway.
- On January 25, 2019, the Company entered into a net claim settlement agreement with HITCO Carbon Composites, Inc., SGL Carbon, LLC, and SGL Carbon SE (the "SGL parties") and a customer, which provided the Company a settlement in satisfaction of existing and potential claims, causes of action, disputes and other business matters related to the acquisition from the SGL parties. The net claim settlement resulted in a gain of $19,744,000.
- The Company is in discussions with a Canadian Chartered bank to extend the existing revolving loan facility which matures on June 30, 2020.
- In Comtek's continuing effort to reduce airline operator's key metric of turnaround time for repaired aircraft components, while still providing premium quality, Comtek has embarked on deploying a forward base of operations located in the United Kingdom. EASA certification has now been granted and the team is actively engaged on its' first repair orders, providing much needed support for the growing Q400 fleet in Europe.
