Gresham Worldwide’s operating companies secured significant new orders in the second quarter as demand for the Gresham’s solutions increased as a result of active military budgets and recent supply chain efficiencies for Gresham. Gresham believes the continued impact of the pandemic, geopolitical military tensions, and inflation concerns have prompted its customers to increase order volume to hedge purchase prices against anticipated increases and ensure the availability of critical supply chain components that have recently hindered productivity. In Q2 2022, Gresham’s operating companies continued to grow globally. Gresham expects ongoing global conflicts and continued concerns regarding industry supply chains to sustain its bookings momentum through the end of 2022 and into 2023.

New Order Overview

• Israel: Enertec increased bookings 68% from $3.1 million in Q1 2022 to $5.2 million in Q2 2022. Enertec experienced a particularly strong performance in the medical sector, adding $3.4 million in orders for precision testing and calibration solutions, which was supplemented by substantial bookings in the defense sector for the quarter.

• United States: Microphase Corporation added $1.53 million in new orders from the U.S. military and global defense contractors for Radio Frequency (“RF”) Filter and Detector Log Video Amplifier product lines. Those orders included a large order for the overhaul of a major DoD aerospace platform and another substantial order for sustainment of combat aircraft in Europe.

• United Kingdom: Bookings for power conversion equipment and displays at Gresham’s operating companies exceeded $3.35 million for the quarter. Commercial customers continue to order power electronics and advanced display offerings earlier and in higher volume to keep backlog for RELEC Electronics Ltd. in record territory. Gresham Power Electronics Ltd. booked significant orders for ruggedized power distribution, power conversion, and UPS products for major shipbuilding programs and land-based mobile power solutions.

Management Perspective

Jonathan Read, Chief Executive Officer, said, “The conflict in Ukraine and tensions in and around the South China Sea over Taiwan have many governments adding defense capabilities. Defense spending on electronic defense solutions is a significant portion of defense budgets, which provides Gresham with sustainable, predictable business. In addition, non-defense customers are placing orders earlier and in larger volumes to prioritize supply chain availability over efficient inventory strategies. As we close out the year and move into 2023, we expect that continued global tensions and supply chain turmoil to continue booking momentum at Gresham. We look forward to providing updates as we move ahead.”

Timothy V. Long, Chief Operating Officer, added, “Gresham’s operating companies continue to build momentum with improved production flows, new product development, and a broadening customer base. Our team has taken advantage of an upgraded infrastructure and expanded training, which has increased operating efficiencies to improve our delivery of ultra-reliable, bespoke technology solutions. Our clients’ demand for Gresham’s high-level solutions is included within large military budgets, which we expect will continue to drive booking revenue and backlog for the foreseeable future.”
