FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TechPrecision Corporation Reports Financial Results for Fiscal 2019

Operating Income Jumps 90% Over Prior Fiscal Year

Westminster, MA – June 27, 2019 – TechPrecision Corporation (OTCQB: TPCS) (“TechPrecision” or “the Company”), an industry leading manufacturer of precision, large-scale fabricated and machined metal components and tested systems with customers in the defense, energy and precision industrial sectors, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and the full year ended March 31, 2019. Net income was $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to a net loss of $0.4 million in the same quarter a year ago. Net income was $1.1 million, or $0.04 per share, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 compared with a net loss of $0.3 million, or $0.01 per share, for the prior fiscal year. Net sales for the fiscal 2019 fourth quarter and full year were $4.7 million and $16.7 million, respectively. Gross profit for the fourth quarter and full year of fiscal 2019 improved significantly over the same periods a year ago.

“This was another year of operational execution, resulting in a significant increase in net income,” stated Alexander Shen, TechPrecision’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our results benefited from efficient operational throughput and higher absorbed overhead as we managed a larger volume of manufacturing activity during the period. We expect to operate at or above current levels during the next fiscal year.”

The financial statements in this release for periods beginning after April 1, 2018 and all subsequent releases and reports reflect the adoption of the Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), or ASC 606. Prior period amounts have not been restated and continue to be reported in accordance with the accounting standards in effect for those periods. (For more information regarding the adoption of ASC 606, refer to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10K for the period ended March 31, 2019 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission).

Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2019 Financial Results

Net sales were $4.7 million, a slight increase when compared to the same quarter a year ago.

Gross profit was $1.5 million compared to $0.4 million in the same quarter last year, a significant increase, driven by a higher margin product mix and higher overhead absorption.

Operating income was $832,000 compared to operating loss of $393,000 in the same period a year ago.

Net income was $538,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $367,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter.

Full Year Fiscal 2019 Financial Results

Net sales were $16.7 million, an 11% decrease when compared to the same period a year ago.

Gross profit was $4.6 million, a 15% increase compared to $4.0 million in the same period a year ago, primarily due to a higher margin product mix and higher overhead absorption.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2.7 million, or 9% lower than the same period a year ago.

Operating income was $1.8 million, compared to operating income of $1.0 million in the same period a year ago, a 90% increase.

Net income was $1.1 million compared to a net loss of $266,000 in fiscal 2018.

EBITDA was $2.6 million for the year ended March 31, 2019, compared to $1.7 million for the year ended March 31, 2018. Please refer to the reconciliation of EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) to net income (a GAAP measure) in this release.

Financial Position

At March 31, 2019, TechPrecision had $2.0 million in cash. Fiscal 2019 was marked by an increase in customer project activity which resulted in more cash expended to ramp up production during the first half of the fiscal year. We expect that our available cash balance will begin to build again during the next operating quarter. Working capital was $6.3 million at March 31, 2019 compared to working capital of $4.9 million at March 31, 2018.

Income Taxes

For the year ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded tax expense of $423,000. We did not make any significant tax payments for the year ended March 31, 2019, and do not expect to make any significant payments in Fiscal 2020, as we are able to utilize our federal net operating loss carryforward to offset taxable income. As of March 31, 2019, our federal net operating loss carryforward was approximately $8.3 million. U.S. tax laws limit the time during which these carryforwards may be applied against future taxes.
