Backlog reaches $50 million, driven by strong customer confidence

Gross margin expands to double-digits as production efficiencies improve

WESTMINSTER, MA / ACCESS Newswire / August 21, 2025 / TechPrecision Corporation (NASDAQ: TPCS) ("TechPrecision" or "the Company"), a custom manufacturer of precision, large-scale fabrication components and precision, large-scale machined metal structural components, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2025. The components that we manufacture are customer designed and sold to customers in the defense and precision industrial markets. We have two wholly owned subsidiaries that are each reportable segments, Ranor and Stadco.

"Both Ranor and Stadco executed on a favorable project mix and expanded gross margins and gross profit in the first quarter, despite a decline in revenue," stated Alexander Shen, TechPrecision's Chief Executive Officer. "Consolidated gross margin expanded to 14% on $7.4 million in revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, and consolidated gross profit totaled $1.0 million. Cost of revenue was lower at both Ranor and Stadco as both segments experienced productivity gains."

"Customer confidence remains high with our backlog reaching $50.1 million as of June 30, 2025," Mr. Shen continued. "We expect to deliver this backlog over the next one to three fiscal years with expectations for gross margin expansion throughout the period."

The following summary compares the first quarter ended June 30, 2025 to the same prior year period:

Consolidated Financial Results - Fiscal 2026 First Quarter Ended June 30, 2025

• Revenue was $7.4 million, an 8% decrease primarily on lower revenue at Stadco.

• Cost of revenue was $6.3 million, or a 18% decrease primarily on lower cost of revenue at Stadco.

• Gross profit was $1.0 million, an increase of $0.8 million driven by improved operating performance at both Ranor and Stadco.

• SG&A was $1.5 million or 6% lower, due primarily to the absence of a breakup fee for the terminated Votaw acquisition which was evident in the same period a year ago.

• Operating loss was $0.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to a loss of $1.3 million in the same period a year ago, primarily due to improved margin drop-through and lower SG&A costs.

• Interest expense increased by 2%, due primarily to fee amortization on our revolver loan renewals.

• Net loss was $0.6 million, compared with net loss $1.5 million in the same period a year ago.

Financial Position

On June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, respectively.
