  Content	Revenue increased 8% year-over-year, Customer confidence remains high Management to host conference call at 4:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday, January 21, 2025 TechPrecision Corporation TPCS ("TechPrecision" or "the Company"), a custom manufacturer of precision, large-scale fabrication components and precision, large-scale machined metal structural components. The components that we manufacture are customer designed. We sell to customers in two main industry sections: defense and precision industrial markets, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended September 30, 2024. We will have a conference call on Tuesday January 21, 2025 at 4:30 P.M. to discuss our financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. "Second quarter consolidated revenue was $8.9 million or 12% higher when compared to $8.0 million in the fiscal 2024 second quarter, bolstered by a favorable project mix at both Ranor and Stadco. Stadco operating loss of $0.8 million resulted from unexpected higher manufacturing costs on one-off projects, legacy pricing problems on core business, machine breakdowns in the quarter that disrupted expected throughput, and under-absorbed overhead costs. Customer confidence remains high as our backlog was $48.6 million at September 30, 2024," stated Alexander Shen, TechPrecision's Chief Executive Officer. "We expect to deliver our backlog over the course of the next one to three fiscal years with gross margin expansion." The following summary compares the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 to the same prior year period: Consolidated Financial Results - Fiscal 2025 Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 Revenue was $8.9 million, or 12% higher on a favorable project mix at both Ranor and Stadco. Cost of revenue was $7.9 million, or 14% higher, due primarily to higher production costs at Stadco. Gross profit was $1.0 million, or 2% lower when compared to the same period a year ago. SG&A totaled $1.5 million or 8% lower due primarily to reduced spending on outside advisory services. Operating loss was $0.5 million compared with $0.6 million in the same period a year ago. Interest expense decreased by $38,000 due primarily to a decrease in borrowings under the revolver loan. Net loss was $0.6 million, as the Company maintained a full valuation on its deferred tax assets. Consolidated Financial Results - Fiscal 2025 Six Months Ended September 30, 2024 Revenue was $16.9 million, or 10% higher on a favorable project mix at both Ranor and Stadco. Cost of revenue was $15.7 million, or 15% higher, due primarily to higher production costs at Stadco. Gross profit was $1.3 million, or 28% lower, primarily the result of delayed repair and maintenance, higher production costs and under-absorbed overhead at Stadco. SG&A totaled $3.1 million or 6% higher, due to a change in fair value on the Votaw termination fee. Operating loss was $1.8 million, an increase of $0.6 million due primarily to losses at Stadco. Interest expense increased by 1% due to higher borrowing under the revolver loan. Net loss was $2.1 million, as the Company maintained a full valuation on its deferred tax assets. Financial Position On September 30, 2024, the Company had approximately $132,000 in cash and cash equivalents, a $6,000 decrease since March 31, 2024. Working capital was negative $1.5 million on September 30, 2024 and debt totaled $7.2 million. Working capital was negative $2.9 million and total debt was $7.6 million on March 31, 2024.

net of amounts capitalized $ 207 $ 201 EBITDA Non-GAAP Financial Measure To complement our condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, we use EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. Net loss is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP that is most directly comparable to EBITDA. We believe EBITDA provides our board of directors, management, and investors with a helpful measure for comparing our operating performance with the performance of other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates. We also believe that EBITDA is a measure frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry, and is a measure contained in our debt covenants. However, while we consider EBITDA to be an important measure of operating performance, EBITDA and other non-GAAP financial measures have limitations, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. We define EBITDA as net loss plus interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Net loss was $601 and $528 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and $2,061 and $1,056 for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was negative for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The following table provides a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended: Three Months ended September 30, Six Months ended September 30, (dollars in thousands) 2024 2023 Change 2024 2023 Change Net loss $ (601 ) $ (528 ) $ (73 ) $ (2,061 ) $ (1,056 ) $ (1,005 ) Income tax (benefit) expense --- (177 ) 177 --- (323 ) 323 Interest expense (1) 113 149 (35 ) 245 243 2 Depreciation and amortization 697 568 128 1,391 1,128 263 EBITDA $ 209 $ 12 $ 197 $ (425 ) $ (8 ) $ (417 ) (1) Includes amortization of debt issue costs.
