| Statement |
|---|
| The favorable market trends, robust customer interest, and substantial growth of our backlog continues to give us confidence that sustainable, higher-level revenue is achievable |
| Market conditions remain favorable, and we genuinely feel that the robust customer interest and engagement that we've seen to date signifies that the market adoption of our product lines is gaining traction |
| After factoring in net proceeds from the Klein sale completed in August, our liquidity position is significantly improved |
| This transaction, which resulted in a financial gain of almost $2.4 million, has provided us with important liquidity and financial stability with which to exploit the remarkable growth we're seeing within our Seamap business |
| Having completed the sale of Klein in August, we now operate a more streamlined and focused suite of products, and we're better positioned than ever to deploy our product lines into a variety of end markets |
| We're pleased that we were able to deliver some higher margin orders during the quarter despite the overall lower sequential revenue levels |
| We believe that this company is better positioned now than ever |
| I think I'm very confident about that |
| The magnitude of our backlog does give us better visibility and therefore better ability to manage our procurement process |
| While we experienced several delays during the third quarter that resulted in some revenue getting pushed into the fourth quarter, we believe the strength we are seeing in all our key markets and the growth in our backlog of orders positions us well for sustained higher level revenue in the coming quarters |
| We continue to believe that MIND is exceptionally well positioned to capitalize on the favorable market dynamics to achieve sustainable top-line improvement |
| We think our record backlog is indicative of the growing demand for our differentiated Seamap product lines such as GunLink source controllers, BuoyLink positioning systems and SeaLink streamer systems |
| We believe this continued positive backlog trend and the early benefits of our framework agreement to reflect the strength in the underlying market and demonstrate that we are the partner of choice for companies looking to acquire high-quality and versatile marine technology products |
| Looking forward, we anticipate meaningful financial improvements in the fourth quarter and in fiscal 2025 as we convert our record backlog to revenue |
| We believe that the record backlog that we have achieved is just the beginning, as there are still significant opportunities for our Seamap unit and our other initiatives |
| We are also optimistic that through our collaboration agreement with General Oceans, we will see increasing interest in our Spectral Ai Software Suite and find further applications for this technology |
| This means that we start the fourth quarter of this fiscal year move into next fiscal year with a record backlog and confidence in continued order flow |
| We're encouraged by the current macro environment and believe that our streamlined, differentiated, and market-leading suite of Maritime Technology Products is uniquely positioned to capitalize on favorable customer demand |
| We're confident that MIND is headed in the right direction |
| So that's the whole reason why this is a huge backlog improvement |
| We expect to continue adding new orders in the coming months and to then utilize this momentum to drive meaningful shareholder value |
| And I think that duty -- I'd rather see you issue equity to loop me a little bit on it -- to loop me on equity even heavily because getting rid of that preferred particularly can get rid of it at $10 or $12 a share if you can buy back, that's a huge win for us shareholders |
| We ended the third quarter with a record backlog of $37.4 million, over double where it was just three months ago |
| Based on the orders that were delayed and the schedule of other orders in our backlog, we expect a significant increase in revenues in our fourth quarter |
| We also believe that the more streamlined operations will result in lower professional fees and travel costs |
| It's a better way than going into the general financing market, I would think |
| We look forward to building on the strong foundation that we've constructed |
| Within the maritime defense and security market, we continue to believe that our Sea Serpent passive array system, which is derived from the commercially developed SeaLink system, is a significant and economical solution for various demanding applications within this space |
| So, we certainly have been able to continue with production and have things ready |
| As Rob mentioned earlier, revenues from continuing Marine Technology Products sales totaled approximately $5 million in the quarter, which was up about 64% from approximately $3 million in the same period a year ago |
| Statement |
|---|
| Our Marine Technology Products revenue during the third quarter was approximately $5 million, and this was significantly lower than we had anticipated |
| We experienced delays in the delivery of certain components, which prevented us from getting these orders completed, out the door and recognize as revenue before quarter-end |
| Certainly, delayed shipments mean delayed cash flow coming in, but there'll be some catch-up there as well |
| Our third quarter adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was a loss of $1.1 million compared to a loss of $2.4 million in the third quarter last year |
| This situation clearly demonstrates that supply chain issues, while much improved from a couple of years ago, are still with us and can impact results in particular periods |
| As we experienced this quarter, and have traditionally seen, there will likely be revenue variation between quarters due to a variety of challenges and unforeseen circumstances, as well as simple customer delivery requirements |
| But you know how frustrating it is to watch, you basically come in and do something like this with two weeks left in the year because it just sets -- it sets you back so much more than potential loss of one quarter's dividend |
| Our general and administrative expenses were approximately $2.9 million for the third quarter, which was down slightly when compared to approximately $3.5 million from the second quarter and $3 million for the same period a year ago |
| Also, you didn't have the sales that were realized in the quarter |
| We've recently taken some actions in this regard, including selected headcount reductions, reducing the size of our Board of Directors, and reducing the compensation for the remaining members of the Board |
| However, increased level of activity also means increased capital requirements |
