Q3:21 Highlights

➢Q3:21 revenues were $139.4 million, up 3.2% compared to Q3:20, primarily due to higher sales in the Commercial Solutions segment (+16.7% YOY), partially offset by a decline in the Government Solutions (-15.5% YOY) segment.

➢ Gross margin declined 120 bps YOY to ~38% in Q3:21 versus 39.2% in Q3:20 due to increases in costs fromorder and production delays and supply chain disruptions.

➢ Adjusted EBITDA was $17.7 million or 12.7% of net revenues in Q3:21, compared to $12.4 million or 9.1% of net revenues in Q3:20.

➢ Non-GAAP net income at $6.8 million or $0.26 per share compared with $1.2 million or $0.05 per share in the same quarter last year.

➢ During Q3:21, the company won several new contracts for its satellite ground station technologies and 911 call routing solutions.

➢ For FY:21, CMTL is projecting revenues to be in the range of $580-$590 million. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $74-$76 million.

PRIMARY RISKS

➢ A broad economic slowdown remains a key concern as a majority of the company's satellite modems are sold into lesser developed countries.

➢ The business is highly dependent on the budgetary decisions of government customers, including the U.S. government. Any cut in budgets could impact CMTL’s earnings.
