FOR RELEASE: IMMEDIATE
CPS Technologies Announces First Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Company on Track for Revenue Growth in Quarters to Come
Norton, Massachusetts – May 4, 2026 – CPS Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ:CPSH) (“CPS” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the fiscal first quarter ended March 28, 2026.
First Quarter Summary
| ● | Revenue of $7.0 million, versus $7.5 million in the prior-year period, reflecting order timing; continued revenue growth is expected in future quarters. |
| ● | Gross margin of 8.6 percent versus 16.4 percent in the first quarter of 2025. |
| ● | Operating loss of $(0.5) million for the quarter compared to an operating profit of $0.1 million in the prior-year period. |
| ● | The Company remains on track for its planned move to a larger, improved operating facility later in 2026, and detailed planning with the support of a general contractor is underway. |
| ● | CPS, after quarter end, booked a $4 million order for hermetic packaging, with shipments beginning in Q2; in addition, the Navy SBIR office recently executed its option to extend the Company’s Phase I program related to Amphibious Combat Vehicles (ACV). |
| ● | The Company announced that a new Chief Financial Officer, Chris Fraser, joined the Company today, May 4th. He is expected to transition into the CFO role effective May 18th. |
“Although the first quarter played out with lower revenue and gross margins,” said Brian Mackey, President and CEO, “we continue to book new business and remain committed to implementing the changes necessary to improve gross margins. Regarding our planned move to a larger, more advanced manufacturing complex, we are now finalizing our assessment of candidate facilities including the detailed functional requirements to support our manufacturing operations, which will enable us to share specifics about our transition plans soon. As part of our preparations, we have significantly increased our inventory levels to minimize the impact of our upcoming move on our customers and on our revenue. In addition, while margins were negatively impacted this quarter primarily due to the impact of lower revenue on fixed costs and cost accounting related to the inventory build, expected revenue growth and eventual inventory reduction should positively impact margins in the future.”
Recently, CPS was notified that Navy will exercise its 6-month, $100,000 option to extend the Company’s Phase I SBIR effort to reduce the weight of the Amphibious Combat Vehicle. Mackey continued, “The Navy’s funding decision provides continued affirmation of our technical success, and this funded research win is coupled nicely with the continued strength of our commercial bookings, as evidenced by the $4 million hermetic packaging order. With a new CFO now being onboarded and an expanding number of opportunities on the horizon, we remain well positioned to build a solid year of performance going forward.”
Results of Operations
CPS reported revenue of $7.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 versus $7.5 million in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting order timing. Gross profit was $0.6 million, or 8.6 percent of revenue, versus $1.2 million, or 16.4 percent of revenue, in the fiscal 2025 first quarter, with the year-over-year decrease due to several factors including the impact of lower revenue on fixed costs as well as cost accounting related to adding over $1.5 million to inventory.
Operating loss was $(0.5) million in the fiscal 2026 first quarter compared with an operating profit of $0.1 million in the prior-year period; SG&A expenses were roughly flat year-over-year, approximately $1.1 million in both fiscal 2026 and 2025. Reported net loss for the quarter was $(0.3) million, or $(0.02) per diluted share, versus a net profit of $0.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the quarter ended March 29, 2025.
