What were the key takeaways from Air Industries Group’s earnings call?

- **Q2 Results**: Net loss due to delays, but adjusted EBITDA positive at $1.469M. $4M ATM offering boosts liquidity.
- **Backlog Growth**: Record $270M backlog, with $120M+ firm funded for 18-24 months. $5M contract delivers in 2026-2027.
- **Cost Management**: $1M annual payroll savings and controlled operating expenses (-99% YoY operating income).
- **Industry Momentum**: Secured $10M in new aftermarket orders and largest long-term agreement with Northrop Grumman.
- **Risks**: Near-term sales timing delays, but confident in long-term backlog conversion.

**【Management Opening Remarks】**
- Q2 2025 results were disappointing due to delays in customer approvals and subcontractor lead times, resulting in a net loss. Adjusted EBITDA remained positive at $1.469 million for the first half, supported by cost-cutting measures including a $1 million annual payroll reduction.
- Outlook adjusted for the second half, with Q4 expected to be the strongest quarter. A $5 million contract for B-52 components will not deliver until 2026-2027, highlighting the 1.5-2 year backlog-to-sales lag.
- Completed an ATM offering in July, raising $4 million to strengthen liquidity and reduce net debt by $4 million.

**【CFO Financial Commentary】**
- Q2 net sales: $12.7 million (-6.7% YoY). Gross profit: $2 million (16% of sales). Operating income: $8,000 (-99% YoY). Net loss: $422,000.
- First half adjusted EBITDA: $1.469 million (-17% YoY). Balance sheet changes: debt down $1M, inventory up $1.3M, AR down $2M, AP up $1.2M.

**【CEO Industry Outlook】**
- Excited about government funding for F-47, E-2D, and F/A-XX programs. Secured largest long-term agreement in history with Northrop Grumman and $10M in new aftermarket orders.
- Despite challenges, confident in converting record backlog of $270 million (firm funded: $120M+ for 18-24 months).

**【Q&A Highlights】**
- **Credit Facility**: Lender discussions ongoing; no immediate liquidity concerns with $4M ATM proceeds.
- **Sales Decline**: Timing issues with customer approvals and first article testing delays, not structural weakness.
- **Tariffs**: Only one product with foreign material has 5%+ cost pass-through protection; others protected via OEM contracts.
- **European Sales**: Limited direct exposure, but spares sales via OEMs may benefit from increased defense spending.
- **Company Sale**: Public company open to strategic options, but management focused on executing current growth strategy.
