Orbit International’s Power Group Announces Receipt of Follow-On Purchase Order in Excess of $2,000,000 for Production of Common Aircraft Armament Test Sets

Production Orders Now Complete Against $21,709,300 IDIQ Contract Received In September 2017

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., Sept. 18, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Orbit International Corp. (OTC PINK:ORBT), an electronics manufacturer and software solution provider, today announced that its Power Group (OPG), through its Behlman Electronics, Inc. subsidiary, has been awarded a follow-on purchase order in excess of $2,000,000 for the production and delivery of 11 Common Aircraft Armament Test Sets (CAATS) for the U.S. Navy. Deliveries under this purchase order are expected in the fourth quarter of 2020.

This follow-on award is the fourth and final production order received under a $21,709,300 fixed price indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract received by the Company in September 2017.

In addition, the Company also announced that its Orbit Electronics Group (OEG) demonstrated three Semi-Rugged, High-Resolution Display Devices at the DSEI Show in London, UK, during the week of September 9, 2019. These displays featured LED backlighting, very wide viewing angles, high contrast ratios, fast response times and outstanding color gamut. The Company plans on demonstrating these same displays at three more trade shows through the end of the year including the AUSA Show in Washington, DC from October 14-16, 2019.

Mitchell Binder, President and CEO of Orbit International commented, “The IDIQ contract, the largest ever received by our Power Group, was received in September 2017 as a small business set aside naming Behlman as prime contractor. This follow-on award completes the production awards under the IDIQ contract. As previously stated, the shipment and delivery of these units require many aspects of production and testing to be offloaded to subcontractors and, as a result, our gross margins for the contract and this award are considerably lower than our historical margins. However, no additional engineering, selling and administrative personnel are needed; therefore, this award should have a positive impact on profitability during the delivery period.”

Binder added, “Our OPG is currently bidding for additional CAATS power supplies in our original role as a subcontractor to the original prime contractor on this program. If awarded, although our sales levels will be lower as a subcontractor than as a prime contractor, we will be return to the higher margins that we typically realize on our other production work. This follow-on award is a firm addition to our backlog and forms a solid foundation of business for our Power Group through the end of 2020. In addition to this award, our OPG is continuing to expand its bid pipeline utilizing its VPX technology. Bookings for VPX power supplies through the end of August 2019 were approximately 31% higher than at the end of the comparable period and we expect bookings for this product line to continue to grow through the end of the year.”

Binder concluded, “The new semi-rugged displays that were demonstrated at the DSEI show in London, UK featured the hi-brite technology of our newly acquired Q-Vio Corp subsidiary. These displays were a result of the combined talent and teamwork of our Orbit Instrument/TDL and Q-Vio engineers and sales teams and were well received by visitors to Orbit’s booth with very positive feedback.”
