~~NOTE 3~~ – REVENUE RECOGNITION:

The Company recognizes revenue on contracts when or as it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of the product to the customer. For contracts in which revenue is recognized upon shipment, control is generally transferred when products are shipped, title is transferred, significant risks of ownership have transferred, the Company has rights to payment, and rewards of ownership pass to the customer. For contracts in which revenue is recognized over time, control is generally transferred as the Company creates an asset that does not have an alternative use to the Company and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for the performance completed to date.

The following table presents the Company’s revenue disaggregated by product line and geographic area:

In the current quarter, the Company changed the descriptions of its disaggregated product line information to reflect the way in which management evaluates the business performance of its products and services. The Company's products and services include the design and manufacture of mission critical fluid, power, heat transfer and vacuum technologies for the defense, space, energy and process industries. The prior period results were reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

A performance obligation represents a promise in a contract to provide a distinct good or service to a customer. The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms

are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. Transaction price reflects the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferred products. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and revenue is recognized as the performance obligation is satisfied. In certain cases, the Company may separate a contract into more than one performance obligation, while in other cases, several products may be part of a fully integrated solution and are bundled into a single performance obligation. If a contract is separated into more than one performance obligation, the Company allocates the total transaction price to each performance obligation in an amount based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised goods underlying each performance obligation. The Company has made an accounting policy election to exclude from the measurement of the contract price all taxes assessed by government authorities that are collected by the Company from its customers. The Company does not adjust the contract price for the effects of a financing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when a product is transferred to a customer and when the customer pays for the product will be one year or less. Shipping and handling fees billed to the customer are recorded in revenue and the related costs incurred for shipping and handling are included in ~~cost~~Cost of products sold.

Revenue on the majority of the Company’s contracts, as measured by number of contracts, is recognized upon shipment to the customer. Revenue on larger contracts, which are fewer in number but represent the majority of revenue, is recognized over time. Revenue from contracts that is recognized upon shipment accounted for approximately 25~~% and~~ 20~~% of revenue for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and revenue from contracts that is recognized over time accounted for approximately~~ 75~~% and~~ 80~~% of revenue for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Revenue from contracts that is recognized upon shipment accounted for approximately~~ 30~~% and~~ 25~~% of revenue for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and revenue from contracts that is recognized over time accounted for approximately~~ 70~~% and~~ 75~~% of revenue for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.~~ The Company recognizes revenue over time when contract performance results in the creation of a product for which the Company does not have an alternative use and the contract includes an enforceable right to payment in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of the performance completed. To measure progress towards completion on performance obligations for which revenue is recognized over time the Company utilizes an input method based upon a ratio of direct labor hours incurred to date to management’s estimate of the total labor hours to be incurred on each contract, an input method based upon a ratio of total contract costs incurred to date to management’s estimate of the total contract costs to be incurred or an output method based upon completion of operational milestones, depending upon the nature of the contract. The Company has established the systems and procedures essential to developing the estimates required to account for performance obligations over time. These procedures include monthly review by management of costs incurred, progress towards completion, identified risks and opportunities, sourcing determinations, changes in estimates of costs yet to be incurred, availability of materials, and execution by subcontractors. Sales and earnings are adjusted in current accounting periods based on

revisions in the contract value due to pricing changes and estimated costs at completion. Losses on contracts are recognized immediately when evident to management. Revenue on the majority of the Company's contracts, as measured by number of contracts, is recognized upon shipment to the customer. Revenue on larger contracts, which are fewer in number but represent the majority of revenue, is recognized over time. The following table presents the Company's revenue percentages disaggregated by revenue recognized over time or upon shipment:


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	September 30,						September 30,
	2023			2022			2023			2022

Revenue recognized over time		75	%		75	%		78	%		70	%
Revenue recognized at shipment		25	%		25	%		22	%		30	%

The timing of revenue recognition, invoicing and cash collections affect trade accounts receivable, unbilled revenue (contract assets) and customer deposits (contract liabilities) on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Unbilled revenue represents revenue on contracts that is recognized over time and exceeds the amount that has been billed to the customer. Unbilled revenue is separately presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company may have an unconditional right to payment upon billing and prior to satisfying the performance obligations. The Company will then record a contract liability and an offsetting asset of equal amount until the deposit is collected and the performance obligations are satisfied. Customer deposits are separately presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Customer deposits are not considered a significant financing component as they are generally received less than one year before the product is completed or used to procure specific material on a contract, as well as related overhead costs incurred during design and construction.

Net contract assets (liabilities) consisted of the following:


	September 30, 2022			March 31, 2022			Change			September 30, 2023			March 31, 2023			Change			Change due to revenue recognized		Change due to invoicing customers/ additional deposits

Contract liabilities at September 30 and March 31, ~~2022~~2023 include $~~8,588~~7,954 and $~~4,216~~6,092, respectively, of customer deposits for which the Company has an unconditional right to collect payment. Trade accounts receivable, as presented on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, includes corresponding balances at September 30, and March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, respectively. ~~Revenue recognized in the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 that was included in the contract liability balance at March 31, 2022 was $~~ ~~8,127~~ ~~and $16,557, respectively. Changes in the net contract liability balance during the six months ended September 30, 2022 were impacted by a $5,100~~ ~~increase in contract assets, of which $33,220~~ ~~was due to contract progress offset by invoicing to customers of $28,120. In addition, contract liabilities increased $435~~ ~~driven by new customer deposits of $16,992~~ ~~offset by revenue recognized in the current period that was included in the contract liability balance at March 31, 2022.~~

Receivables billed but not paid under retainage provisions in the Company’s customer contracts were $~~2,777~~2,681 and $~~3,182~~2,542 at September 30, and March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, respectively.

Incremental costs to obtain a contract consist of sales employee and agent commissions. Commissions paid to employees and sales agents are capitalized when paid and amortized to selling, general and administrative expense when the related revenue is recognized. Capitalized costs, net of amortization, to obtain a contract were $35 ~~and $~~32 at September 30 and March 31, 2022, respectively, and are included in the line item "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The related amortization expense was $23 ~~and $~~24 ~~in the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $~~24 ~~and $~~34 ~~in the six-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.~~

The Company’s remaining unsatisfied performance obligations represent a measure of the total dollar value of work to be performed on contracts awarded and in progress. The Company also refers to this measure as backlog. As of September 30, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company had remaining unsatisfied performance obligations of $~~313,340~~313,343. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 40~~% to~~ 4550% of the remaining performance obligations within one year, 25% to 30% in one to two years and the remaining beyond two years.

NOTE 6 – INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE:

In connection with the ~~termination~~acquisition of ~~this earn-out agreement,~~BN, we entered into a Performance Bonus Agreement ~~(the "Bonus Agreement")~~ to provide ~~certain~~ employees of BN with a supplemental performance-based ~~awards~~award based on the achievement of BN performance objectives for fiscal years ending March 31, 2024, 2025, and 2026 ~~and~~which can range between $2,000 to $4,000 per ~~year.~~

~~Summary~~

~~Highlights for the three months ended September 30, 2022 include:~~

•

~~Net sales of $38,143 for~~year (the "BN Performance Bonus"). During the second quarter of fiscal 2023 increased $3,997 or 12% over the prior year period across our diversified revenue base. This increase included growth in our commercial space market which increased $3,014 and our new energy market which increased approximately $1,500 as newly awarded programs continued to ramp up. Additionally, our sales continued to benefit from strong growth in our refining and chemical/petrochemical aftermarket ("commercial

~~aftermarket"), which increased $4,672 compared~~2024, we recorded $802 related to the ~~same period in the prior year and is a strategic focus for us. These increases were partially offset by lower defense sales of $4,943 due to project timing.~~BN Performance Bonus.

In the second quarter of fiscal ~~2023,~~year 2024, we ~~completed an additional~~shipped the last of the first article ~~U.S. Navy project~~units related to the Columbia Class submarine and ~~remain~~Ford Class carrier programs. While we expect to continue to have first article programs in our backlog as we win new programs and applications, the amount as a percentage of total backlog should be reduced moving forward. During fiscal 2022, we chose to make significant investments to ensure we could deliver these and previous units on schedule ~~to complete~~and these investments were the ~~remaining first article projects.~~main source of the losses incurred that year.

•

Orders booked in the second quarter of fiscal ~~2023 were~~2024 decreased to $36,464 compared with $91,511 ~~driven by repeat orders for critical U.S. Navy programs, which are included~~ in total defense orders of $69,598. We believe these U.S. Navy orders validates the investments we made, our position as a key supplier to the defense industry and our customer’s confidence in our execution. Additionally, orders continued to be strong in the commercial aftermarket and space markets which totaled $11,211 and $3,741, respectively, during the second quarter of fiscal 2023. This decrease was primarily in the defense market and is due to the timing of orders from major defense

customers. Additionally orders in the refining market were down slightly due to reduced orders from Asia due to timing and the slow recovery in China from the Covid-19 pandemic. For more information on this key performance indicator see "Orders and Backlog" below.

•

Backlog was ~~$313,340~~$313,343 at September 30, ~~2022,~~2023, compared with ~~$260,675~~$301,734 at ~~June 30, 2022.~~March 31, 2023.

Cash flow from operations was ~~$892 during~~primarily driven by cash net income and an increase in customer deposits from major defense customers.

•

Following the end of the second quarter of fiscal ~~2023.~~2024, on October 13, 2023, we entered into a new, five-year $50,000 revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo") of which $35,000 is immediately available. We used the proceeds from the facility and cash on hand to pay down the remaining $11,500 balance of our term loan and the $725 exit fee from our previous lending agreement amendments. The new facility will reduce current borrowing rates by approximately 25 basis points to SOFR plus 1.25%, has a maximum total leverage ratio of 3.5 to 1, and provides us greater financial flexibility to execute on our strategy for growth.

•

InFollowing the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2024, we announced that we received approximately $110 million in total orders in October 2023, ~~$0 was returned~~which were primarily related to ~~shareholders as dividends compared with $1,177~~follow-on orders for critical U.S. Navy programs. These defense orders are expected to be recognized in ~~the second quarter of fiscal 2022. In~~revenue beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, we suspended our dividend in accordance with the terms of our credit agreement with Bank of America. There can be no guarantee that we will pay dividends in the future, and any determination by our board of directors with respect to dividends will depend on a variety of factors, including our future financial performance, organic growth and acquisition opportunities, general economic conditions and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

•

At September 30, 2022, we had $2,500 outstanding on our line of credit. We believe availability under our line of credit, along with our cash balances, provide us adequate financial flexibility to meet our obligations.2025 through early fiscal 2030.

Current Market Conditions

Demand for our equipment and systems for the defense industry is expected to remain strong and continue to expand, based on ~~our significant backlog, improved execution, long-standing relationship with the U.S. Navy,~~ defense budget plans, accelerated ship build schedules due to geopolitical tensions, the projected ~~procurement~~build schedule of submarines, aircraft carriers and undersea propulsion and power systems and the solutions we provide. In addition to U.S. Navy applications, we also provide specialty pumps, turbines, compressors and controllers for various fluid and thermal management systems used in Department of Defense radar, laser, electronics and power systems. We have built a leading position, and in some instances, a sole source position, for certain systems and equipment for the defense industry.

Our traditional energy markets are undergoing significant transition. While we expect that fossil fuels will continue to be an important component in the global energy industry for many years to come, there are significant changes in the priorities for capital investments by our customers and the regions in which those investments are being made. We expect that the systemic changes in the energy markets, which are influenced by the increasing use by consumers of alternative fuels, will lead to demand growth for fossil-based fuels that is less than the global growth rate. Currently, opportunities in the energy markets outside North America have been greater than opportunities inside of North America, but opportunities outside of North America are highly competitive and pricing is challenging. In those instances, we have been selective in the opportunities we have pursued in order to ensure we receive the proper return on our investment. Over the long term, we anticipate that future investment by refiners in renewable fuels (e.g., renewable diesel), in existing refineries (e.g., to expand feedstock processing flexibility and to improve conversion of oil to refined products) to gain greater throughput, or to build new capacity (e.g., integrated refineries with petrochemical products capabilities), will continue to drive demand for our products and services. The timing and catalyst for a recovery in ~~these markets (crude oil refining and chemical/petrochemical) remain~~this market remains uncertain. Accordingly,

we believe that in the near term the quantity of projects available for us to compete for will remain low and that new project pricing will remain challenging.

Of note, over the last ~~year~~few years we have experienced an increase in our energy and chemical aftermarket orders, primarily from the domestic market. Aftermarket orders have historically been a leading indicator of future capital investment by our customers in their facilities for upgrades and expansions. ~~As such we believe there is the possibility of~~However, if a ~~cyclical~~capital investment upturn ~~in calendar year 2023 following several years of reduced capital spending in a low oil price environment. However,~~were to occur, we do not expect the next cycle to be as robust as years past due to the factors discussed above.

The alternative and clean energy opportunities for our heat transfer, power production and fluid transfer systems are expected to continue to grow. We assist in designing, developing and producing equipment for hydrogen production, distribution and fueling systems, concentrated solar power and storage, ~~and~~ small modular nuclear ~~systems.~~systems and geothermal power generation with lithium extraction. We are positioning the Company to be a more significant contributor as these markets continue to develop.

We believe that chemical and petrochemical capital investment will continue to decouple from energy investment. Over the long term, we expect that population growth, an expanding global middle class, and an increasing desire for improved quality of life and access to consumer products will drive increased demand for industrial goods within the plastics and resins value chain along with fertilizers and related products. As such, we expect investment in new global chemical and petrochemical capacity will improve and drive growth in demand for our products and ~~services over the long term.~~services.

The commercial space market has grown and evolved rapidly, and we provide rocket engine turbo pump systems and components tofor many of the ~~key players in the industry.~~launch providers for satellites. We expect that in the long term extended space exploration will become more prevalent, and we anticipate that our thermal/fluid management and environmental control and life support system turbomachinery will play important roles. We are also participating in future aerospace power and propulsion system development through supply of fluid and thermal management systems components. Small power dense systems are imperative for these applications and we believe our technology and expertise will enable us to achieve sales growth in this market as well. ~~For the first six months of fiscal 2023, sales~~Sales and orders to the space industry ~~represented 15%~~are variable in nature and many of our ~~sales compared~~customers, who are key players in the industry, have yet to ~~0% prior~~achieve profitability and may be unable to ~~the BN acquisition.~~continue operations without additional funding, similar to what occurred to Virgin Orbit.

We have faced, and may continue to face, significant cost inflation, specifically in labor costs, raw materials, and other supply chain costs due to increased demand for raw materials and resources caused by the broad disruption of the global supply chain associated with the impact of COVID-19. International conflicts or other geopolitical events, including the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, may further contribute to increased supply chain costs due to shortages in raw materials, increased costs for transportation and energy, disruptions in supply chains, and heightened inflation. Further escalation of geopolitical tensions may also lead to changes to foreign exchange rates and financial markets, any of which may adversely affect our business and supply chain, and consequently our results of operation. While there could ultimately be a material impact on our operations and liquidity, at the time of this report, the impact could not be determined.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, we terminated the BN contingent earn-out agreement and the contingent liability of $1,900 was reversed into other operating income, net, on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. In connection with the termination of this earn-out agreement, we entered into a Bonus Agreement to provide certain employees of BN with performance-based awards based on results of BN for fiscal years ending March 31, 2024, 2025, and 2026. Additionally, in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 we incurred $798 of severance costs related to the departure of our Chief Executive Officer, which was also recorded into other operating income, net.

Net interest expense for the second quarter of fiscal ~~2023~~2024 was ~~$246~~$55 compared to ~~$115~~$246 in the second quarter of fiscal ~~2022~~2023. This decrease was due to lower net debt levels, partially offset by an increase in interest rates since the second quarter of fiscal ~~2022, partially offset by lower debt levels of $4,375 due to repayments made since the second quarter of fiscal 2022.~~2023.

Net interest expense for the first six months of fiscal ~~2023~~2024 was ~~$403~~$240 compared to ~~$137~~$403 in the first six months of fiscal ~~2022 primarily~~2023. This decrease was due to ~~increased borrowings related to the BN acquisition, as well as increased~~lower net debt levels, partially offset by an increase in interest rates since the ~~first~~second quarter of fiscal ~~2022.~~2023.

Our effective tax rate in the second quarter of fiscal ~~2023~~2024 was ~~17%~~37%, compared with ~~27%~~17% in the second quarter of fiscal ~~2022.~~2023. Our effective tax rate for the first six months of fiscal ~~2023~~2024 was ~~27%~~25%, compared with ~~20%~~27% for the first six months of fiscal ~~2022. This increase was primarily due~~2023. Our effective tax rate can vary significantly from period to period depending on the level of pre-tax income, the amount of income derived from our higher tax rate foreign subsidiaries, as well as the timing of discrete tax ~~expense recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2023~~items, primarily related to the vesting of restricted stock awards. ~~Our expected~~For fiscal 2024 we expect our full year effective tax rate ~~for fiscal 2023 is 21%~~ to be 22% ~~as the impact of these discrete tax items on our effective tax rate lessens over the course of fiscal 2023.~~to 23%.

The net result of the above is that net ~~loss~~income and ~~loss~~income per diluted share for the second quarter of fiscal ~~2023~~2024 were ~~$196~~$411 and ~~$0.02 per share,~~$0.04, respectively, compared with a loss of ~~$492~~$196 and ~~$0.05 per share,~~$0.02, respectively, for the second quarter of fiscal ~~2022.~~2023. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share for the second quarter of fiscal ~~2023~~2024 were $1,371 and $0.13, respectively, compared with net income of $325 and $0.03, ~~per share, respectively, compared with a loss of $639 and $0.06 per share,~~ respectively, for the second quarter of fiscal ~~2022.~~ 2023.

Net income and income per diluted share for the first six months of fiscal ~~2023~~2024 were $3,051 and $0.28, respectively, compared with net income of $480 and $0.05, ~~per share, respectively, compared with a loss of $3,618 and $0.35 per share,~~ respectively, for the first six months of fiscal ~~2022.~~2023. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share for the first six months of fiscal ~~2023~~2024 were $4,945 and $0.46, respectively, compared with net income of $1,654 and $0.16, ~~per share, respectively, compared with a loss of $3,450 and $0.33 per share,~~ respectively, for the first six months of fiscal ~~2022.~~2023.

Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted earnings ~~(loss)~~ before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), adjusted net income, ~~(loss),~~ and adjusted net income ~~(loss)~~ per diluted share are provided for information purposes only and are not measures of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"). Management believes the presentation of these financial measures reflecting non-GAAP adjustments provides important supplemental information to investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating the operating results of the Company. In particular, those charges and credits that are not directly related to operating performance, and that are not a helpful measure of the performance of our underlying business particularly in light of their unpredictable

nature. These non-GAAP disclosures have limitations as analytical tools, should not be viewed as a substitute for net income ~~(loss)~~ or net income ~~(loss)~~ per diluted share determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP, nor ~~is it~~are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. In addition, supplemental presentation should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by similar adjustments to net income ~~(loss)~~ or net income ~~(loss)~~ per diluted share determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income ~~(loss)~~ and adjusted net income ~~(loss)~~ per diluted share are key metrics used by management and our board of directors to assess the Company’s financial and operating performance and adjusted EBITDA is a basis for a portion of management's performance-based compensation.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes charges for depreciation, amortization, ~~net~~ interest expense, taxes, other acquisition related expenses, the BN Performance Bonus, and other unusual/nonrecurring expenses. Adjusted net income ~~(loss)~~ and adjusted net income ~~(loss)~~ per diluted share excludes intangible amortization, the BN Performance Bonus, other costs related to the acquisition, ~~related expenses,~~and other unusual/nonrecurring ~~expenses and the related tax impacts of those adjustments.~~expenses.

A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income ~~(loss),~~ and adjusted net income ~~(loss)~~ per diluted share to net income (loss) in accordance with GAAP is as follows:

Dividend payments and capital expenditures in the first six months of fiscal 2023 were $0 and $1,176, respectively, compared with $2,353 and $1,227, respectively, for the first six months of fiscal 2022. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, we suspended our dividend in accordance with the terms of our credit agreement with Bank of America. There can be no guarantee that we will pay dividends in the future and any determination by our board of directors with respect to dividends will depend on a variety of factors, including our future financial performance, organic growth and acquisition opportunities, general economic conditions and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Capital expenditures for fiscal ~~2023~~2024 are expected to be approximately ~~$3,000~~$12,000 to ~~$4,000. Our fiscal 2023~~$13,500 and include approximately $5,500 related to the expansion of production capabilities at our Batavia facility, which is being funded by one of our defense customers. Fiscal 2024 capital expenditures are expected to be primarily for machinery and equipment, as well as for buildings and leasehold improvements to fund our growth and ~~cost~~productivity improvement initiatives. The majority of our planned capital expenditures are discretionary. We estimate that our maintenance capital spend is approximately $2,000 per year.

Cash and cash equivalents were ~~$14,122~~$25,800 at September 30, ~~2022~~2023 compared with ~~$14,741~~$18,257 at March 31, ~~2022, as~~2023, up $7,543 primarily due to cash ~~used~~provided by ~~operating activities and for~~operations, offset by capital expenditures ~~were funded with amounts borrowed under our credit facility.~~and debt repayments.

On ~~June 1, 2021,~~October 13, 2023, we ~~entered into a $20,000 five-year~~terminated the revolving credit facility and repaid our term loan with Bank of America. The term loan requires monthly principal payments of $167 through June 1, 2026, with the remaining principal amount plus all interest due on the maturity date. The interest rate on the term loan is the applicable Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index ("BSBY"), plus 1.50%, subject to a 0.00% floor.

In addition to the $25,000 letters of credit available to be issued pursuant to the New Revolving Credit Facility, we may request the issuance of cash secured letters of credit in an aggregate amount of up to $7,500.

The New Revolving Credit Facility contains customary terms and conditions, including representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, as well as financial covenants for the benefit of Wells Fargo, which require us to maintain (i) a consolidated total leverage ratio not to exceed 3.50:1.00 and (ii) a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.20:1.00, in both cases computed in accordance with the definitions and requirements specified in the New Revolving Credit Facility.

In addition, on or before September 1, 2023 and at all times thereafter, all of our deposit accounts, except certain accounts, will be either subject to a deposit account control agreement or maintained with Bank of America. We covenant to maintain EBITDA, as defined in such amendment, of at least ($700) for the twelve-month period ending June 30, 2022 and $1,800 for the twelve-month period ending September 30, 2022; maintain a total maximum leverage ratio of 4.0 to 1.0 for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2022 and 3.0 to 1.0 for the period ending March 31, 2023; and maintain liquidity, as defined in such amendment, of at least $10,000 prior to the occurrence of the compliance date and $20,000 from and after the occurrence of the compliance date. As of September 30, 2022, we were in compliance with the amended financial covenants of our loan agreement.

We believe that cash generated from operations combined with the liquidity provided by ~~available financing capacity under~~ our ~~credit facility,~~New Revolving Credit Facility will be adequate to meet our cash needs ~~for the immediate future.~~and fund our long-term strategic growth objectives.

Orders and Backlog

In addition to the non-GAAP measures discussed above, management uses the following key performance metrics to analyze and measure the Company's financial performance and results of operations: orders, backlog, and book-to-bill ratio. Management uses orders and backlog as measures of ~~our~~ current and future business and financial ~~performance.~~performance and these may not be comparable with measures provided by other companies. Orders represent written communications received from customers requesting us to ~~supply~~provide products and/or services. Orders for the three-month period ended September 30, 2022 were $91,511 compared with $31,386 for the same period last year. This increase is attributable to strong demand across all of our diversified revenue base. More specifically, the second quarter of fiscal 2023 order level was driven by:

•

$69,598 from the defense industry driven by repeat orders for critical U.S. Navy programs. Revenue from second quarter fiscal 2023 defense orders is expected to be recognized from fiscal 2024 through fiscal 2026;

•

~~$8,723 for refining, primarily related to the commercial aftermarket;~~

•

~~$3,742 of orders for highly engineered pumps and turbo pumps for a variety of applications and customers in the commercial space industry;~~

•

~~Increased orders to the new energy market including hydrogen and solar.~~

Domestic orders in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 were 93% of total orders compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2022 when domestic orders were 80% of total orders. Our ratio of orders to net sales during the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was 2.4.

During the first six months of fiscal 2023, orders were $131,819, compared with $52,253 for the same period of fiscal 2022. Domestic orders were 87% of total orders in the first six months of fiscal 2023 compared with 77% for the same period of fiscal 2022. Our ratio of orders to net sales for the first six months of fiscal 2023 was 1.78.

~~Backlog was $313,340 at September 30, 2022, an increase of 22% compared with $256,536 at March 31, 2022.~~ Backlog is defined as the total dollar value of net orders received for which revenue has not yet been recognized. ~~Approximately 40%~~Management believes tracking orders and backlog are useful as it often times is a leading indicator of future performance. In accordance with industry practice, contracts may include provisions for cancellation, termination, or suspension at the discretion of the customer.

The book-to-bill ratio is an operational measure that management uses to ~~45%~~track the growth prospects of the Company. The Company calculates the book-to-bill ratio for a given period as net orders divided by net sales.

Given that each of orders, ~~currently~~backlog and book-to-bill ratio is an operational measure and that the Company's methodology for calculating these measures does not meet the definition of a non-GAAP measure, as that term is defined by the SEC, a quantitative reconciliation for each is not required or provided.

The following tables provides our orders by market and geographic region including the percentage of total and change in comparison to the prior year for each category and period presented:

Orders booked for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023 were $36,464, a decrease of $55,047 over the comparable period of fiscal 2023. Orders booked for the six-month period ended September 30, 2023 were $104,397, a decrease of $27,422 over the comparable period of fiscal 2023. These decreases were primarily due to the timing of our large defense orders and orders to the refining market. For the six-month period ended September 30, 2023, our book-to-bill ratio was 1.1x. Orders during the first six months of 2024 included the following:

•

$9,100 for a vacuum distillation system for a refinery in India.

•

$22,000 related to a strategic investment and follow-on orders from a major defense customer. These orders include $13,500 to expand and enhance our Batavia, N.Y. production capabilities, primarily for machinery and equipment, in order to support the U.S. Navy's shipbuilding schedule.

•

$19,300 of aftermarket orders to the refining and chemical/petrochemical markets.

•

$3,361 decrease in orders to the space industry primarily due to the Virgin Orbit bankruptcy.

We believe the repeat U.S. Navy orders and strategic investment received validates the investments we made, our position as a key supplier to the defense industry and our customer's confidence in our ~~backlog~~execution. Additionally, we believe the strong aftermarket orders are significant because they historically have been a leading indicator of a cyclical upturn in capital project orders. However, we do not expect the next cycle to be as robust as years past due to the factors discussed above under "Current Market Conditions."

Orders to the U.S. represented 88% of total orders for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to 93% in the second quarter of the prior year. These orders were primarily to the defense market which represented 57% of orders and are U.S. based.

Following the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2024, we announced that we received approximately $110 million in total orders in October 2023, which were primarily related to follow-on orders for critical U.S. Navy programs. These defense orders are expected to be ~~converted~~recognized in revenue beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 through early fiscal 2030.

The following table provides our backlog by market, including the percentage of total backlog, for each category and period presented:


	September 30,					September 30,					Change
Market	2023		%			2022		%			$			%

Backlog was $313,343 at September 30, 2023, which is consistent with the prior year period. We expect to ~~sales~~recognize revenue on approximately 50% of the backlog within one year, ~~and~~ 25% to 30% ~~after~~in one ~~year but within~~to two years and the remaining beyond two years. The majority of the orders that are expected to convert beyond ~~twelve~~twenty-four months are for the defense industry, specifically the U.S. Navy that have a long conversion cycle ~~(up~~(generally up to six years). ~~At September 30, 2022, 79%~~During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, we shipped the last of the first article units related to the Columbia Class submarine and Ford Class carrier programs.

Outlook

We are providing the following fiscal 2024 outlook reflecting our ~~backlog was attributable to defense projects, 10% for refinery project work, 5% for chemical and petrochemical projects, 4% for space projects and 5% for other industrial applications.~~current expectations:

~~Outlook~~


Net Sales		$170 million to $180 million
Gross Profit		18% to 19% of sales
SG&A Expenses(1)		15% to 16% of sales
Tax Rate		22% to 23%
Adjusted EBITDA(2)		$11.5 million to $13.5 million

(1) Includes approximately $2.5 million to $4 million of BN Performance Bonus and ERP conversion costs included in SG&A expense.
(2) Excludes approximately $2.5 million to $4 million of BN Performance Bonus and ERP conversion costs included in SG&A expense and approximately $0.7 million of debt extinguishment charges.

~~Our objective is to leverage our engineering know-how~~See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statement" and ~~depth of application experience to identify more opportunities~~"Non-GAAP Measures" above for ~~our products~~additional information about forward-looking statements and ~~technologies in our targeted markets.~~

Sales in fiscal 2023 are expected to be in the range of $135,000 to $150,000. We expect gross profit margins for the fiscal year to be approximately 16% to 17% of sales and SG&A expenses to be 15% to 16% of sales. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be $6,500 to $9,500 for fiscal 2023. Our results for the first half of fiscal 2023 were in-line with our expectations and give us confidence we will be able to achieve our full year guidance. Fiscal 2022 and year-to-date fiscal 2023 results were impacted by our large, lower margin, first article U.S. Navy projects and we believe this negative impact will continue through the first quarter of 2024 when the last of these larger first article projects is completed. We expect repeat orders for these larger U.S. Navy projects will be at higher margins through increased pricing and better execution. It is also important to note that the Company's third quarter is typically impacted by lower labor hours due to the holidays.

Our expectations for sales and profitability assume that we will be able to operate our production facilities at planned capacity, have access to our global supply chain including our subcontractors, and do not experience significant COVID-19-related disruptions or any other unforeseen events.non-GAAP measures. We have not reconciled non-GAAP forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable GAAP measure, as permitted by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. Such reconciliation would require unreasonable efforts to estimate and quantify various necessary GAAP components largely because forecasting or predicting our future operating results is subject to many factors out of our control or not readily predictable.

We have made significant progress with the advancements in our business, which we believe puts us on schedule in achieving our fiscal 2027 goals of greater than $200,000 in revenue (8% to 10% average annualized revenue growth) and Adjusted EBITDA margins in the low to mid-teens.

Contingencies and Commitments

We have been named as a defendant in lawsuits alleging personal injury from exposure to asbestos allegedly contained in or accompanying our products. We are a co-defendant with numerous other defendants in these lawsuits and intend to vigorously defend ourselves against these claims. The claims in our current lawsuits are similar to those made in previous asbestos lawsuits that named us as a defendant. Such previous lawsuits either were dismissed when it was shown that we had not supplied products to the plaintiffs’ places of work, or were settled by us for immaterial amounts.

As of September 30, ~~2022,~~2023, we are subject to the claims noted above, as well as other legal proceedings and potential claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of the lawsuits, legal proceedings or potential claims to which we are or may become a party cannot be determined and an estimate of the reasonably possible loss or range of loss cannot be made for the majority of the claims, we do not believe that the outcomes, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates, and Judgments

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are based on the selection of accounting policies and the application of significant accounting estimates, some of which require management to make significant assumptions.We believe that the most critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements relate to labor hour estimates, total cost, and establishment of operational milestones which are used to recognize revenue over time, accounting for contingencies, under which we accrue a loss when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated, accounting for business combinations and intangible assets, and accounting for pensions and other postretirement benefits. For further information, refer to Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and Item 8 "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, ~~2022.~~2023.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The principal market risks (i.e., the risk of loss arising from market changes) to which we are exposed are foreign currency exchange rates, price risk, and interest rate risk.

The assumptions applied in preparing the following qualitative and quantitative disclosures regarding foreign currency exchange rate, price risk and interest rate risk are based upon volatility ranges experienced by us in relevant historical periods, our current knowledge of the marketplace, and our judgment of the probability of future volatility based upon the historical trends and economic conditions of the markets in which we operate.

Foreign Currency

International consolidated sales for the first six months of fiscal ~~2023~~2024 were ~~21%~~17% of total sales compared with ~~26%~~21% for the same period of fiscal ~~2022.~~2023. Operating in markets throughout the world exposes us to movements in currency exchange rates. Currency movements can affect sales in several ways, the foremost being our ability to compete for orders against foreign competitors that base their prices on relatively weaker currencies. Business lost due to competition for orders against competitors using a relatively weaker currency cannot be quantified. In addition, cash can be adversely impacted by the conversion of sales made by us in a foreign currency to U.S. dollars. In each of the first six months of fiscal ~~2023~~2024 and fiscal ~~2022,~~2023, substantially all sales by us and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, for which we were paid, were denominated in the local currency of the respective subsidiary (U.S. dollars, Chinese RMB or India INR). For the first six months of fiscal ~~2023,~~2024, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations reduced our cash balances by ~~$254~~$82 primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. ~~dollar relative to the Chinese RMB.~~dollar.

We have limited exposure to foreign currency purchases. In the first six months of fiscal ~~2023,~~2024, our purchases in foreign currencies represented approximately 7%3% of the cost of products sold. At certain times, we may enter into forward foreign currency exchange

agreements to hedge our exposure against potential unfavorable changes in foreign currency values on significant sales and purchase contracts negotiated in foreign currencies. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts were not used in the periods being reported in this Form 10-Q and as of September 30, ~~2022~~2023 and March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, we held no forward foreign currency contracts.

Price Risk

Operating in a global marketplace requires us to compete with other global manufacturers which, in some instances, benefit from lower production costs and more favorable economic conditions. Although we believe that our customers differentiate our products on the basis of our manufacturing quality, engineering experience, and customer service, among other things, such lower production costs and more favorable economic conditions mean that our competitors are able to offer products similar to ours at lower prices. In extreme market downturns, such as we recently experienced, we typically see depressed price levels. Additionally, we have faced, and may

continue to face, significant cost inflation, specifically in labor costs, raw materials, and other supply chain costs due to increased demand for raw materials and resources caused by the broad disruption of the global supply chain, including those associated with the impact of COVID-19. International conflicts or other geopolitical events, including the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas war, may further contribute to increased supply chain costs due to shortages in raw materials, increased costs for transportation and energy, disruptions in supply chains, and heightened inflation. Further escalation of geopolitical tensions may also lead to changes to foreign exchange rates and financial markets, any of which may adversely affect our business and supply chain, and consequently our results of operation. While there could ultimately be a material impact on our operations and liquidity, at the time of this report, the impact could not be determined.

Interest Rate Risk

~~In connection with~~As a result of the BN acquisition and in order to fund our strategic growth objectives we ~~entered into a $20,000 five-year term loan and a five-year revolving~~borrow funds under our various credit ~~facility with Bank of America. The term loan and revolving credit facility~~agreements that bear interest ~~rates that are tied to BSBY, plus 1.50%, subject to~~at a ~~0.00% floor.~~variable rate. As part of our risk management activities, we evaluate the use of interest rate derivatives to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. As of September 30, ~~2022,~~2023, we had ~~$17,500 outstanding on our term loan, $2,500~~$11,500 of variable rate debt outstanding on our revolving credit facility and no interest rate derivatives outstanding. See ''Debt'' in Note 1412 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information about our outstanding debt. A hypothetical one percentage point (100 basis points) change in the BSBY rate on the ~~$20,000~~$11,500 of variable rate debt outstanding at September 30, ~~2022~~2023 would have an impact of approximately ~~$200~~$115 on our interest expense for fiscal ~~2023.~~2024.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Conclusion regarding the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures

Our President and Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and Vice President - Finance and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer) each have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, and as of such date, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Vice President - Finance and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in all material respects.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

~~Other than the events discussed under the section entitled Barber-Nichols Acquisition below, there~~There has been no change to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We have not experienced any material impact to our internal controls over financial reporting.

~~Barber-Nichols Acquisition~~

On June 1, 2021, we acquired Barber-Nichols, LLC, a privately-owned designer and manufacturer of turbomachinery products for the aerospace, cryogenic, defense and energy markets, located in Arvada, Colorado. For additional information regarding the acquisition, refer to Note 2 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in Item 2 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on the recent completion of this acquisition and, pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s guidance that an assessment of a recently acquired business may be omitted from the scope of an assessment for a period not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, the scope of our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of the year ended March 31, 2022 does not include Barber-Nichols, LLC. We plan to include Barber-Nichols, LLC in our annual assessment for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023.
