BK Technologies Announces Third Quarter 2022 Results

-    Achieves Record Third Quarter Bookings of $28M

WEST MELBOURNE, FL November 3, 2022 / BK Technologies Corporation (NYSE American: BKTI) (the “Company” or “BK Technologies”) today announced financial and operating results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company will host a conference call today, November 3, 2022, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time.

Third Quarter 2022 Financial and Operational Update

“We continue to see strong demand for our BKR 5000 product line of radios and accessories, which resulted in our third consecutive quarter of record booking activity,” commented John Suzuki, CEO of BK Technologies.  “With the addition of the second BKR 5000 production line and easing of supply chain constraints, radio production began increasing in September.  At the end of September, Hurricane Ian directly hit our home state of Florida, and while we’re grateful that our employees and operations came through the storm intact, our shipment capabilities were significantly limited for several days, thereby pushing approximately $1.5 million in revenue into the first two weeks of October.”

“As we move through the close of 2022, radio production rates continue to increase and we believe we are strongly positioned to convert a meaningful portion of our backlog orders and drive continued sequential improved margins.”

“Notably, shortly after the close of the quarter, our SaaS business unit launched our first public safety service, InteropONE, the only Push-To-Talk Over Cellular (PTToC) service that enables on-demand group  communications for any smartphone user.  As PTToC solutions have become more sophisticated and operate on a variety of platforms, interoperability between different technologies and service providers has become a big challenge, especially for the public safety community.  Our InteropONE offering provides a practical solution by enabling on-demand group communications between first responders who arrive at events from different emergency agencies. We believe InteropONE is a game-changing, scalable smartphone application which provides a tremendous opportunity to address a broader market audience within the public safety communications market and will serve as a blueprint for our development of additional SaaS services.”  

Kyle Cerminara, Chairman of the Board of Directors of BK Technologies and CEO of Fundamental Global   stated, “Our record $42 million backlog is a dramatic increase from $13 million at the close of 2021.  This backlog, when combined with future orders for our well-received BKR product line, positions us for strong growth and enhanced profitability in the fourth quarter and 2023.  Supply chain concerns have eased significantly giving us confidence in our ability to convert backlog into revenue and convert inventory into cash at an attractive gross margin.”

Revenue decreased 6% to $11.9 million, compared with $12.6 million for the third quarter of last year.  Gross profit margin was 19% compared to 33% for the same quarter of last year.  The lower gross margins generally reflect cost increases in material and freight costs related to supply chain constraints.
