IBC is reporting the performance of "continuing operations" at its Copper Alloy division, "discontinued operations" at its Massachusetts facility, and a combination of continuing and discontinued operations.1
Fiscal year-to-date (YTD) sales of $13.8 million increased by 6.4% over the comparable prior-year period, driven primarily by sharply higher naval defense sector demand.
YTD gross profit of $2,528,000 increased by 7.8% year-over-year (Y/Y) while gross profit in the quarter of $800,000 declined 13.5% Q/Q due to a one-time supply chain constraint that has since been corrected.
On a consolidated basis, operating income and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA)1 in the quarter increased Y/Y, largely driven by stronger sales and lower costs in the now-shuttered Engineered Materials (EM) division.
On a consolidated basis, YTD loss of $2 million was lower compared to the comparable prior-year period largely due to higher sales and reduced costs.
