CPS Technologies Corporation Announces Second Quarter 2017 Results

NORTON, Mass., Aug. 02, 2017 -- CPS Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ:CPSH) today announced revenues of $3.7 million and a net loss of $333 thousand for the quarter ended July 1, 2017.  This compares with revenues of $3.9 million and a net loss of $259 thousand for the quarter ended July 2, 2016.

Revenues for the six months ended July 1, 2017 were $6.6 million compared with revenues of $9.2 million for the corresponding period a year ago, a decline of 28%.  The net loss for the six- month period in 2017 totaled $938 thousand compared with a net loss of $62 thousand for the corresponding period a year ago.

Grant Bennett, President and CEO, commented, “Although our revenues continue to be below our breakeven point, we are encouraged by the fact that they were 30% higher than each of the previous two quarters.  This improvement was fueled by an increase in baseplate sales, particularly in Europe, after several quarters of weak demand.   The discussions we have had with our major customers during the quarter and our pipeline of orders gives us confidence that the second half of this year will be stronger than our first half and that this improved trajectory will continue into 2018.”

Mr. Bennett continued, “Longer term we expect to make meaningful sales to customers in both China and Japan.   We have been working with potential customers in these countries for a number of years and expect to see tangible results by year-end or early next year.  In addition, multiple customers continue with evaluation and qualification of our armor solutions;  this product line offers another significant potential  revenue stream in the future.”

The Company will be hosting its second quarter conference call with investors at 4:30 pm on Wednesday, August 2.  Those interested in participating in the conference call should dial:
