Said It, Then Beat It
On August 17, Mobix Labs guided to fiscal fourth-quarter revenue of $1.4 million to $1.8 million, or approximately 100% sequential growth at the midpoint. On September 24, the Company said it expected to exceed the $1.6 million midpoint. Preliminary, unaudited results announced November 10 came in above the top of the range, at approximately $1.81 million, up 129% from $789,000 in the preceding quarter.
Product revenue rose approximately 171%. GAAP gross margin expanded to approximately 44.5% from 12.9%, and GAAP operating loss narrowed approximately 11%. Earlier in the fiscal year, working capital constraints limited the Company’s ability to buy components, build inventory and fill customer orders. Progress on those constraints allowed production and shipments to increase during the quarter.
The recovery was balanced across both of the Company’s operating businesses. EMI Solutions, which supplies EMI-filtered connectors for military and commercial aircraft, and RaGE Systems, which builds wireless systems, each contributed to the quarter’s growth. Higher-margin shipments from RaGE Systems were the primary driver of the improvement in gross margin.
Defense: A New Fighter Platform and a Move into the Engine
In September, Mobix Labs secured its initial production order for components supporting the F-16 Fighting Falcon. The EMI-filtered connectors are manufactured by the Company’s EMI Solutions unit at its military-approved facility in Irvine, California. The order followed an approximately five-fold increase in orders supporting the F-22 Raptor announced earlier in the year.
In November, the Company announced new six-figure production orders from a tier-one global aerospace and defense supplier for engine-system components used across multiple U.S. fighter jet platforms and wide-body commercial aircraft. Mobix Labs’ custom connectors protect engine control and monitoring electronics from electromagnetic interference.
Mobix Labs components now support the F-16 Fighting Falcon, F-22 Raptor, F-35 Lightning II and F/A-18 Super Hornet.
Beyond Fighters: Security Sensing and Business Aviation
In September, the Company announced a multi-unit follow-on production order of more than $1 million for threat-detection sensor subsystems from a leading security-technology provider. The same month, it announced a repeat production order for approximately 1,500 components for Gulfstream aircraft.
“In August we said fiscal fourth-quarter revenue would roughly double. It grew 129%,” said Phil Sansone, Chief Executive Officer of Mobix Labs. “Gross margin recovered to nearly 45%, and we added new positions on America’s frontline fighter programs. We have more work to do, and we expect continued revenue growth as we build on this recovery.”
Outlook
Management expects continued revenue growth as Mobix Labs builds on its fourth-quarter operating improvements and pursues opportunities across its aerospace, defense and mission-critical markets. The Company’s ability to sustain its recovery will depend in part on the availability of working capital, continued access to critical components, manufacturing capacity, customer demand and timely fulfillment of customer orders.
