Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(1) |
Nature of Business |
All references to “Sypris,” the “Company,” “we” or “our” include Sypris Solutions, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Sypris is a diversified provider of truck components, oil and gas pipeline components and aerospace and defense electronics. The Company produces a wide range of manufactured products, often under multi-year, sole-source contracts. The Company offers such products through its business segments, Sypris Technologies, Inc. (“Sypris Technologies”) and Sypris Electronics, LLC (“Sypris Electronics”) (See Note 11).
|

Basis of Presentation |
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sypris Solutions, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Accordingly, pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain notes and other financial information included in audited financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The December 31, 2024 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The Company’s operations are domiciled in the United States (U.S.) and Mexico, and we serve a wide variety of domestic and international customers. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all material adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented, and the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Changes in facts and circumstances could have a significant impact on the resulting estimated amounts included in our consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Actual results for the three months ended March 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 2024 as presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (Subtopic220-40), which requires public entities to disclose detailed components of income statement expenses, such as inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization within relevant expense captions. Companies are also required to explain amounts not disaggregated and define and disclose total selling expenses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact of the guidance on our financial statement disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280). The guidance requires a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Additionally, it requires a public entity to disclose the title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The ASU does not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates them, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. We adopted the new standard effective December 31, 2024. As a result, we have enhanced our segment disclosures to include the disclosure of our CODM. The adoption of this ASU affects only our disclosures, with no impacts to our financial condition and results of operations.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This guidance requires disaggregated income tax disclosures on the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The guidance becomes effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the guidance on our financial statement disclosures.
No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the fiscal year had, or is expected to have, a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Leases |
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at its inception. The Company has entered into operating leases for real estate. These leases have initial terms which range from
Some leases may require variable lease payments based on factors specific to the individual agreements. Variable lease payments for which we are typically responsible include real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance expenses based on the Company’s pro-rata share, which are excluded from the measurement of the lease liability. Additionally, one of the Company’s real estate leases has lease payments that adjust based on annual changes in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). The leases that are dependent upon CPI are initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date and are included in the measurement of the lease liability. Incremental payments due to changes in the index are treated as variable lease costs and expensed as incurred.
These operating leases are included in “Operating lease right-of-use assets” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and represent the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The Company’s obligations to make lease payments are included in “Operating lease liabilities, current portion” and “Operating lease liabilities, net of current portion” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As of March 30, 2025, total right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities were approximately $
We primarily use our incremental borrowing rate, which is updated quarterly, based on the information available at the commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. If readily available, we would use the implicit rate in a new lease to determine the present value of lease payments. The Company has certain contracts for real estate which may contain lease and non-lease components which it has elected to treat as a single lease component.
The Company has entered into various short-term operating leases, primarily for office equipment with an initial term of twelve months or less. Lease payments associated with short-term leases are expensed as incurred and are not recorded on the Company’s balance sheet. The related lease expense for short-term leases was not material for the three months ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024.
The following table presents information related to lease expense for the three months ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024 (in thousands):

Revenue from Contracts with Customers |
The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a promised product or rendering a service to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the product or service (the “transaction price”). The Company’s transaction price in its contracts with customers is generally fixed; no payment discounts, rebates or refunds are included within its contracts. The Company also does not provide service-type warranties, nor does it allow customer returns. In connection with the sale of various parts to customers, the Company is subject to typical assurance warranty obligations covering the compliance of the electronics parts produced to agreed-upon specifications. Customer returns, when they occur, relate to quality rework issues and are not connected to any repurchase obligation of the Company.
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or render a service to a customer and is the unit of account to which the transaction price is allocated under ASC 606. When a contract contains multiple performance obligations, we allocate the transaction price to the individual performance obligations using the price at which the promised goods or services would be sold to customers on a standalone basis. For most sales within our Sypris Technologies segment and a portion of sales within Sypris Electronics, control transfers to the customer at a point in time. Indicators that control has transferred to the customer include the Company having a present right to payment, the customer obtaining legal title and the customer having the significant risks and rewards of ownership. The Company’s principal terms of sale are FOB Shipping Point, or equivalent, and, as such, the Company primarily transfers control and records revenue for product sales upon shipment.
For contracts where Sypris Electronics serves as a contractor for aerospace and defense companies under federally funded programs, we generally recognize revenue over time as we perform because of continuous transfer of control to the customer. This continuous transfer of control to the customer is supported by clauses in the contracts that allow the customer to unilaterally terminate the contract for convenience, pay us for costs incurred plus a reasonable profit and take control of any work in process. Because control is transferred over time, revenue and gross profit is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. We use labor hours incurred as a measure of progress for these contracts because it best depicts the Company’s performance of the obligation to the customer, which occurs as we incur labor on our contracts. Under this measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of labor hours incurred to date to the total estimated labor hours at completion of the performance obligation.
Some of Sypris Electronics’ contractual arrangements with customers are for one year or less. For the remaining population of non-cancellable contracts greater than one year we had $

Contract Balances
Differences in the timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets) and deferred revenue, customer deposits and billings in excess of revenue recognized (contract liabilities) on the consolidated balance sheets.
Contract assets – Contract assets include unbilled amounts typically resulting from sales under contracts where revenue is recognized over time and revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer, and the right to payment is subject to conditions other than the passage of time. Contract assets are generally classified as current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The balance of contract assets as of March 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were $
Contract liabilities – Some of the Company’s contracts within Sypris Electronics are billed as work progresses in accordance with the contract terms and conditions, either at periodic intervals or upon achievement of certain milestones. Often this results in billing occurring prior to revenue recognition resulting in contract liabilities. Additionally, the Company occasionally receives cash payments from customers in advance of the Company’s performance resulting in contract liabilities. These contract liabilities are classified as either current or long-term in the consolidated balance sheets based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize revenue. As of March 30, 2025, the contract liabilities balance was $
The Company recognized revenue from the amortization of contract liabilities of $
Practical expedients and exemptions
Sales commissions are expensed when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with original expected lengths of one year or less.

Loss Per Common Share |
The Company computes earnings per share using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and participating securities. Restricted stock granted by the Company is considered a participating security since it contains a non-forfeitable right to dividends.
Our potentially dilutive securities include potential common shares related to our stock options and restricted stock. Diluted earnings per share considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities except in periods in which there is a loss because the inclusion of the potential common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. Diluted earnings per share excludes the impact of common shares related to our stock options in periods in which the option exercise price is greater than the average market price of our common stock for the period. For the three months ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, diluted weighted average common shares do not include the impact of any outstanding stock options and unvested compensation-related shares because the effect of these items on diluted net loss would be anti-dilutive.

Derivative Financial Instruments |
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company’s Sypris Technologies segment entered into Mexican Peso (“MXP”) put option contracts to manage a portion of the foreign currency exchange risk on forecasted expenses denominated in MXP. The contracts meet the definition of a derivate subject to the guidance of ASC 815, do not qualify for hedge accounting, and accordingly are recognized at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings in other expense, net. The contracts have a notional amount of $
The fair value of these derivative financial instruments is determined using level 2 inputs (inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability) in the fair value hierarchy as the fair value is based on publicly available foreign exchange and interest rates at each financial reporting date. The fair value of the non-designated foreign exchange contracts as of March 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $

Segment Data |
The Company is organized into business segments, Sypris Technologies and Sypris Electronics. Our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) serves as our Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) and is responsible for reviewing segment performance and making decisions regarding resource allocation. Our CODM evaluates each segment’s performance based on metrics such as net revenue, gross profit, operating income and other key financial indicators, guiding strategic decisions to align with company-wide goals. On a monthly basis, the CODM considers budget-to-actual variances for gross profit and operating income when making decisions about allocating capital to the segments. The segments are each managed separately because of the distinctions between the products, markets, customers, technologies, and workforce skills of the segments. Sypris Technologies generates revenue primarily from the sale of forged, machined, welded and heat-treated steel components primarily for the heavy commercial vehicle and high-pressure energy pipeline applications. Sypris Electronics provides circuit card and box build manufacturing, high reliability manufacturing, systems assembly and integration, design for manufacturability and design to specification work to customers in the market for aerospace and defense, communications and space electronics. There was no intersegment net revenue recognized for any year presented.
The Company includes the unallocated costs of its corporate office, including the employment costs of its senior management team and other corporate personnel, administrative costs and net corporate interest expense incurred at the corporate level under the caption “General, corporate and other” in the table below. Such unallocated costs include those for centralized information technology, finance, legal and human resources support teams, certain professional fees, director fees, corporate office rent, certain self-insurance costs and recoveries, software license fees and various other administrative expenses that are not allocated to our reportable segments. The unallocated assets include cash and cash equivalents maintained in its domestic treasury accounts and the net book value of corporate facilities and related information systems. The unallocated liabilities consist primarily of the related party notes payable. Domestic income taxes are calculated at an entity level and are not allocated to our reportable segments. Corporate capital expenditures and depreciation and amortization include items attributable to the unallocated fixed assets of the corporate office and related information systems.
The following table presents financial information for the reportable segments of the Company (in thousands):

Commitments and Contingencies |
The provision for estimated warranty costs is recorded at the time of sale and periodically adjusted to reflect actual experience. The Company’s warranty liability, which is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of March 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $
The Company bears insurance risk as a member of a group captive insurance entity for certain general liability, automobile and workers’ compensation insurance programs, a self-insured worker’s compensation program and a self-insured employee health program. The Company records estimated liabilities for its insurance programs based on information provided by the third-party plan administrators, historical claims experience, expected costs of claims incurred but not paid, and expected costs to settle unpaid claims. The Company monitors its estimated insurance-related liabilities on a quarterly basis. As facts change, it may become necessary to make adjustments that could be material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
The Company is involved in certain litigation and contract issues arising in the normal course of business. While the outcome of these matters cannot, at this time, be predicted in light of the uncertainties inherent therein, management does not expect that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company. Additionally, the Company believes its product liability insurance is adequate to cover all potential liability claims.
The Company accounts for loss contingencies in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Estimated loss contingencies are accrued only if the loss is probable, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. With respect to a particular loss contingency, it may be probable that a loss has occurred, but the estimate of the loss is within a wide range or undeterminable. If the Company deems an amount within the range to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, that amount will be accrued. However, if no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the minimum amount of the range is accrued.
The Company has various current and previously-owned facilities subject to a variety of environmental regulations. The Company has received certain indemnifications from either companies previously owning these facilities or from purchasers of those facilities. Additionally, certain property previously sold by the Company has been designated as a Brownfield Site and is under development by the purchaser. As of March 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, no amounts were accrued for any environmental matters.
On February 17, 2017, several employees (“Lucas Plaintiffs”) of KapStone Charleston Kraft, LLC filed a lawsuit in South Carolina alleging that they had been seriously burned when they opened a hinged closure, and a hot tar-like material spilled out. Among other claims, the Lucas Plaintiffs allege that Sypris Technologies designed and manufactured the closure, that the closure was defective and that those defects had caused or contributed to their injuries. Sypris Technologies’ motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction was denied on February 28, 2020. On November 21, 2022, the Company received a demand for settlement presented by the Lucas Plaintiffs, which was rejected. On January 12, 2024, a hearing took place for oral arguments in support of Sypris Technologies’ motion for summary judgement previously filed in September 2023. The trial had been set for May 20, 2024, and a mediation of the parties was required to take place prior to the trial under South Carolina law. The Company entered into a settlement agreement on April 18, 2024 with the Lucas Plaintiffs at the pre-trial mediation. The settlement payment was funded entirely by insurance, and the Company did not make any payments under the terms of the settlement agreement. Additionally, the Company’s general liability insurer accepted the defense costs.
In order to reduce manufacturing lead times, the Company enters into agreements with certain suppliers to purchase inventory based on the Company’s requirements. A significant portion of the Company’s purchase commitments arising from these agreements consists of firm and non-cancelable commitments. These purchase commitments totaled $

Income Taxes |
The provision for income taxes includes federal, state, local and foreign taxes. The Company’s effective tax rate varies from period to period due to the proportion of foreign and domestic pre-tax income expected to be generated by the Company. The Company provides for income taxes for its domestic operations at a statutory rate of
The Company recognizes liabilities or assets for the deferred tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets or liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740). These temporary differences will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years when the reported amounts of assets or liabilities are recovered or settled. ASC 740 requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company evaluates its deferred tax position on a quarterly basis and valuation allowances are provided as necessary. During this evaluation, the Company reviews its forecast of income in conjunction with other positive and negative evidence surrounding the realizability of its deferred tax assets to determine if a valuation allowance is needed.
Based on the Company’s consideration of all positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations, the Company has established a valuation allowance against all U.S. deferred tax assets. Until an appropriate level and characterization of profitability is attained, the Company expects to continue to maintain a valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets related to future U.S. tax benefits.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. During July 2024, the Company was notified by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) that it is examining the Company’s 2021 federal income tax return. On April 1, 2025, the Company received notification that the examination was complete with no changes to the reported tax amount. To the Company’s knowledge, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is not currently examining the Company’s U.S. income tax returns for 2022 through 2023, for which the statute has yet to expire.
During the first quarter of 2023, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary in Mexico received a formal tax assessment notice from Mexico’s Federal Tax Administration Service, Servicio de Administracion Tributaria’s (the “SAT”) pertaining to revenue variances and disallowed deductions related to an audit by the SAT of the 2016 tax year. The tax liability for the variances approximated $

Item 2. |
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Overview
We are a diversified provider of truck components, oil and gas pipeline components and aerospace and defense electronics. We offer a wide range of manufactured products, often under multi-year sole-source contracts.
We are organized into two business segments, Sypris Technologies and Sypris Electronics. Sypris Technologies, which is comprised of Sypris Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries, generates revenue primarily from the sale of forged, machined, welded and heat-treated steel components primarily for the heavy commercial vehicle and high-pressure energy pipeline applications. Sypris Electronics, which is comprised of Sypris Electronics, LLC, generates revenue primarily through circuit card and full “box build” manufacturing, high reliability manufacturing, systems assembly and integration, design for manufacturability and design to specification work.
We focus on those markets where we believe we have the expertise, qualifications and leadership position to sustain a competitive advantage. We target our resources to support the needs of industry participants that embrace technological innovation and flexibility, coupled with multi-year contractual relationships, as a strategic component of their supply chain management. These contracts, many of which are sole-source by part number, have historically created opportunities to invest in leading-edge processes or technologies to help our customers remain competitive. The productivity and innovation that can result from such investments helps to differentiate us from our competition when it comes to cost, quality, reliability and customer service.
Economic Conditions
Our operations are impacted by global economic conditions, including inflationary increases of certain raw materials, as well as logistics, tariffs, transportation, utilities and labor costs, supply chain constraints and increased interest rates. While we have taken pricing actions and implemented transformation initiatives that we expect to improve productivity and offset these cost increases, we expect supply chain pressures and inflationary cost increases to continue throughout 2025, which may continue thereafter and could negatively impact our results of operations.
Sypris Technologies Outlook
Uncertainty in tariffs, the economy, freight and regulations have the potential to disrupt fleet investment and replacement cycles for the North American Class 4-8 commercial vehicle market in addition to the automotive, sport utility vehicle and off-highway markets also served by Sypris Technologies. During 2024, production of Class 8 trucks in North America decreased 2% from 2023. According to industry publications, the outlook for 2025 is for continued weakened demand with production down 23% from 2024 levels driven by lower year-over-year freight volumes and rates, before rebounding 19% in 2026. We believe that the market diversification Sypris Technologies has accomplished over recent years by adding new programs in the automotive, sport-utility and off-highway markets has benefited and will continue to benefit the Company as the demand cycles for our products in these markets differs from the Class 8 commercial vehicle market, thereby reducing volatility in our revenue profile.
The oil and gas markets served by our Tube Turns® brand of engineered products continues to be shaped largely by geopolitical factors, macroeconomic variables such as high interest rates and rising material costs, evolving policies and regulations and the emergence of new technologies. Sales in this market are dependent on, among other things, the level of worldwide oil and natural gas demand, the price of crude oil and natural gas and capital spending by exploration and production companies and drilling contractors. The conflicts in the Middle East, the war between Russia and Ukraine and inflationary pressures have also led to disruption, instability and volatility in global markets and industries that could negatively impact our operations.
We will continue to pursue new business in a wide variety of markets from light automotive to new pressure vessel and pipeline applications to achieve a more balanced portfolio across our customers, markets and products.
Sypris Electronics Outlook
Ongoing demand in the electronic circuit card assembly industry across multiple manufacturing sectors continues to create shortages and extended lead times. In some instances, waiting times for certain components approach a year or more. We factor supplier-provided lead times into internal planning schedules and new customer quotations. From time to time, we encounter part obsolescence which requires us to identify an alternate part suitable for use. We continue to work with our customers on strategies to mitigate any adverse impact upon our ability to service their requirements. Factors which arise after the placement of the customer’s order may cause us to miss projected delivery dates. Inflationary costs are expected to continue in 2025.
The electronic circuit card assembly industry is highly competitive and demand can be volatile from period to period. Increasing demand for advanced technologies, supply chain diversification, and continued strong government defense spending along with geopolitical factors, including ongoing U.S.-China trade tensions and regulatory shifts, are prompting companies to adopt supply chain resilience strategies, such as "friendshoring", nearshoring and onshoring that benefit domestic suppliers. Additionally, OEMs are expected to continue the trend of outsourcing lower-level electronic assemblies, while focusing on their core competencies of design and system integration. However, challenges such as labor cost fluctuations, raw material constraints, and evolving trade policies may impact operational efficiency and cost structures. Overall, the sector is positioned for growth, with companies focusing on technological innovation, strategic partnerships, and supply chain optimization to maintain competitiveness in a rapidly evolving defense and aerospace market. During 2023 and 2024, we announced new program awards and releases for Sypris Electronics, with certain programs continuing into 2026. In addition to contract awards from Department of Defense (“DoD”) prime contractors related to weapons systems, electronic warfare and infrared countermeasures in our traditional aerospace and defense markets, we have also been awarded subcontracts for manufacturing services to the communication and navigation markets, which require our advanced capabilities for delivering products for complex, high cost of failure platforms.
While we do not serve as a prime contractor to the U.S. government, we serve as a subcontractor on various U.S. government programs. Funding for U.S. Government programs is subject to a variety of factors that can affect our business, including the U.S. presidential administration’s budget requests and procurement priorities and policies, annual congressional budget authorization and appropriation processes, and other U.S. government domestic and international priorities. U.S. government spending levels, particularly defense spending, and timely funding thereof can affect our financial performance over the short and long term.
On March 15, 2025, the President signed into law the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025 (“the Act”), which funds the U.S. government under a continuing resolution through September 30, 2025, its fiscal year (“FY”) end. In total, the FY 2025 continuing resolution funding is roughly equivalent to the U.S. government’s FY 2024 funding with a few anomalies and other smaller shifts in funding between appropriations titles. The Act increases the DoD FY 2025 base budget by $6 billion to a total of $831.5 billion, while reducing nondefense spending. Unlike other continuing resulting funding measures, the Act provides the DoD conditional authority to permit new program starts as long as they were included in the FY 2025 House or FY 2025 Senate appropriation bills and $8 billion in flexible funding, furthering the flexibility of DoD operating under a continuing resolution.
It is anticipated the U.S. presidential administration’s budget request for FY 2026 will be submitted to Congress in the coming months, which will initiate the FY 2026 defense authorization and appropriations legislative process. Congress will need to approve or revise the U.S. presidential administration’s FY 2026 budget proposal through enactment of appropriations bills and other policy legislation, which would then require final approval from the President in order for the FY 2026 budget to become law and complete the budget process.
We anticipate the federal budget, debt ceiling and regulatory environment will continue to be subject to debate and compromise shaped by, among other things, the new U.S. presidential administration and Congress, heightened political tensions, the global security environment, inflationary pressures, and macroeconomic conditions. The result may be shifting funding priorities, which could have material impacts on defense spending broadly, and the effect on individual programs or our results cannot be predicted at this time. Additionally, the U.S. presidential administration continues to take steps to evaluate government-wide and defense-specific staffing and procurement, which includes assessing mission priorities, procurement methods, program performance, and other factors and then potentially taking action based on those assessments. The impact on demand for our products and services and our business are difficult to predict.

Net Revenue. Sypris Technologies derives its revenue from the sale of forged and finished steel components and subassemblies and high-pressure closures and other fabricated products. Net revenue for Sypris Technologies decreased 26.0%, or $4.8 million, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to the anticipated cyclical decline in the commercial vehicle market and a $0.8 million decrease in energy product sales within the quarter. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2025, Sypris Technologies began operating under a sub-maquiladora services agreement with one of its customers in Mexico. As a result, the customer retains ownership of the inventory, and revenue is recognized on the value-add portion only, resulting in a decrease of $1.6 million as compared to the prior year comparable period.
Sypris Electronics derives its revenue primarily from circuit card and full “box build” manufacturing, high reliability manufacturing and systems assembly and integration. Net revenue for Sypris Electronics decreased $1.3 million to $15.9 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $17.2 million in the first quarter of 2024. The net revenue decrease for the period was primarily attributable to changes in customer delivery schedules requested for 2025 as compared to the previous year.
Gross Profit. Sypris Technologies’ gross profit increased $0.1 million to $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to the first quarter of 2024 as a result of favorable foreign exchange rates for our Mexican subsidiary, resulting in an increase in gross profit of $0.6 million, partially offset by a decrease in volumes. Gross margin for the first quarter of 2025 was 15.5% as compared to 11.2% in the first quarter of 2024.
Sypris Electronics’ gross profit increased $0.4 million to $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2024. The increase in gross profit was primarily a result of a more favorable mix of programs in 2025 and a high amount of scrap incurred during the prior year on two programs that ramped during the prior year comparable quarter. Additionally, the Company submitted a $0.6 million request for equitable adjustment (“REA”) during the first quarter of 2025 to offset certain additional costs for scope modifications on a new contract during 2024. The REA was finalized and approved during the first quarter of 2025, resulting in additional gross profit of $0.3 million. The order backlog for Sypris Electronics is expected to support a stable revenue rate during the balance of 2025. Gross margin for the first quarter of 2025 was 7.9% as compared to 4.8% in the first quarter of 2024.
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased $0.8 million to $3.5 million in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to $4.3 million for the same period in 2024 primarily as a result of lower consulting costs and reduced headcount. Selling, general and administrative expense increased as a percentage of revenue to 11.8% for the first quarter of 2024 from 12.0% in the prior year comparable period.
Income Taxes. The Company’s income tax expense for the three months ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024 consists primarily of currently payable state and local income taxes on domestic operations and foreign income taxes of its Mexican subsidiary.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined separately for each tax jurisdiction in which we conduct our operations or otherwise incur taxable income or losses. The Company evaluates its deferred tax position on a quarterly basis and valuation allowances are provided as necessary. During this evaluation, the Company reviews its forecast of income in conjunction with other positive and negative evidence surrounding the realizability of its deferred tax assets to determine if a valuation allowance is needed. Based on its current forecast, the Company has established a valuation allowance against all U.S. deferred tax assets. Until an appropriate level and characterization of profitability is attained, the Company expects to continue to maintain a valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets related to future U.S. tax benefits. If we determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net recorded amount, an adjustment to reduce the valuation allowance would increase net income in the period that such determination is made.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As reflected in the consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit as of March 30, 2025, a net loss for the quarter ended March 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024, as well as negative cash flow from operating activities for the quarter ended March 30, 2025. The Company’s net inventory increased significantly in 2023, primarily related to contracts with Sypris Electronics’ aerospace and defense customers. Shipments to customers on certain of these contracts were delayed beyond the initial delivery dates, which negatively impacted the cycle time to convert inventory to cash. As a result, the Company experienced a liquidity shortfall beginning in the fourth quarter of 2023, and the Company is continuing to aggressively manage working capital to improve liquidity. The shipment delays also contributed to an increase in trade payable balances with certain suppliers during 2023 and early 2024. The Company successfully negotiated amended payment and other terms on the past due balances with certain suppliers during 2024 and is continuing to work with suppliers to improve terms and maintain consistency in its supply chain relationships. The Company received the benefit of additional loans of $3.0 million during the three months ended March 30, 2025 and $2.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 from Gill Family Capital Management, Inc. (“GFCM”) to help the Company manage its liquidity during those periods. This additional $5.5 million loaned to the Company by GFCM in 2024 and the first quarter of 2025 was approved by the Audit Committee and provided the Company necessary liquidity. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2025, the Company and GFCM amended the Note to extend the maturity dates for $2.0 million of the obligation to April 1, 2026, $2.0 million to April 1, 2027, $5.0 million to April 1, 2028 and $3.0 million to April 1, 2029 (see Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).
Our ability to service our current liabilities will require a significant amount of cash. Management has evaluated our ability to generate this cash to meet our obligations for the next twelve months. Our primary sources of funds to meet our liquidity and capital requirements include cash on hand, funds generated through continued revenue growth from the Company’s consolidated operations and reductions in the Company’s investment in working capital. Based upon our current forecast, we believe that we will have sufficient liquidity to finance our operations for the next twelve months.
Although we believe the assumptions underlying our current forecast are reasonable, management is also prepared to implement contingency plans that include other cost reduction initiatives to improve profitability and cash flow, or management can take additional steps such as adjusting the timing and amount of certain operating expenses as well as capital expenditures or the issuance of new debt. If we are unable to achieve our forecasted revenue, or if our costs are higher than expected, we may be required to revise our plans to provide for additional cost-cutting measures, seek additional financing or to consider other strategic alternatives. We may not be able to secure additional financing on favorable terms, if at all.
Cash Balance. As of March 30, 2025, we had approximately $6.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which $2.5 million was held in jurisdictions outside of the U.S. that, if repatriated, could result in withholding taxes. We expect existing cash and cash flows from operations to continue to be sufficient to fund our operating activities and cash commitments for investing and financing activities, such as capital expenditures, for at least the next twelve months. Significant changes from our current forecasts, including, but not limited to: (i) meaningful shortfalls in our projected revenues, (ii) unexpected costs or expenses, and/or (iii) operating difficulties which cause unexpected delays in scheduled shipments, could require us to seek additional funding or force us to make further reductions in spending, extend payment terms with suppliers, liquidate assets where possible and/or suspend or curtail planned programs. Any of these actions could materially harm our business, results of operations and future prospects. Additional financing may not be available to us.
Material Cash Requirements
Gill Family Capital Management Note. The Company has received the benefit of cash infusions from GFCM in the form of secured promissory note obligations totaling $12.0 million in principal as of March 30, 2025 and $9.0 million as of December 31, 2024 (the “Note”). GFCM is an entity controlled by the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey T. Gill and one of our directors, R. Scott Gill. GFCM, Jeffrey T. Gill and R. Scott Gill are significant beneficial stockholders of the Company.
As of March 30, 2025, our principal commitment under the Note was $2.0 million due on April 1, 2026, $2.0 million on April 1, 2027, $5.0 million due on April 1, 2028 and the balance of $3.0 million due on April 1, 2029. Interest on the Note is reset on April 1 of each year, at the greater of 8.0% or 500 basis points above the five-year Treasury note average during the preceding 90-day period, in each case, payable quarterly. The Note allows for a deferral of payment for up to 100% of the interest due on the Note to April 1, 2026.
During the first quarter of 2025, the Company amended the Note to increase the principal amount by $3.0 million, which is due on April 1, 2029. The amendment increased the aggregate amount previously loaned by GFCM to the Company from $9.0 million to $12.0 million. This additional amount loaned to the Company in the first quarter of 2025 was approved by the Audit Committee and provided the Company necessary liquidity.
Finance Lease Obligations. As of March 30, 2025, the Company had $1.9 million outstanding under finance lease obligations for both property and machinery and equipment with maturities through 2028 and a weighted average interest rate of 8.7%.
Equipment Financing Obligations
As of March 30, 2025, the Company had $1.3 million outstanding under equipment financing facilities, with payments due through 2028, and a weighted average interest rate of 6.8%.
Purchase Commitments. We had purchase commitments totaling approximately $30.8 million as of March 30, 2025, primarily for inventory and manufacturing equipment.
Cash Flows
Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $5.5 million in the first quarter of 2025, as compared to $1.7 million in the same period of 2024. The aggregate increase in accounts receivable in 2025 resulted in a usage of cash of $1.3 million primarily as a result of an increase in revenue for Sypris Electronics over the prior year comparable period and the timing of receipts for Sypris Technologies. The decrease in inventory in 2025 resulted in a source of cash of $4.1 million. The decrease in inventory was primarily as a result of the ramp up of shipments within Sypris Electronics. A significant portion of the inventory had been purchased in previous periods and was funded through prepayments from customers, which was recorded as contract liabilities. As shipments have increased with Sypris Electronics during the period, these contract liabilities have also decreased, which is the primary component of the $8.6 million change in accrued and other liabilities during the first quarter of 2025. Prepaid expenses and other assets decreased during the period, resulting in an increase in cash of $2.2 million, primarily as a result of a decrease in contract assets and a decrease in VAT refundable. Accounts payable decreased during the first quarter of 2025, resulting in a use of cash of $2.4 million. During the first quarter of 2025, Sypris Technologies began operating under a sub-maquiladora services agreement with one of its customers in Mexico. As a result, the customer retains ownership of the inventory, and payment for the inventory is now made by the customer, resulting in a decrease in accounts payable.
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was negligible for the first quarter of 2025 as compared to $0.3 million of capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2024.
Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $2.5 million for the first quarter of 2025 and was comprised of proceeds from the Note of $3.0 million, partially offset by capital lease and equipment financing obligation payments of $0.5 million. Net cash provided by financing activities was $2.2 million for the first quarter of 2024 and was comprised of proceeds from the Note of $2.5 million and proceeds from an equipment financing obligation of $0.2 million, partially offset by capital lease and equipment financing obligation payments of $0.5 million.
Critical Accounting Policies
See the information concerning our critical accounting policies included under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 30, 2025.
Forward-looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and our other oral or written communications, may contain “forward-looking” statements. These statements may include our expectations or projections about the future of our business, industries, business strategies, prospects, potential acquisitions, liquidity, financial condition or financial results and our views about developments beyond our control, including domestic or global economic conditions, government spending, industry trends and market developments. These statements are based on management’s views and assumptions at the time originally made, and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update these statements, even if, for example, they remain available on our website after those views and assumptions have changed. There can be no assurance that our expectations, projections or views will come to pass, and undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements.
A number of significant factors could materially affect our specific business operations and cause our performance to differ materially from any future results projected or implied by our prior statements. Many of these factors are identified in connection with the more specific descriptions contained throughout this report. Other factors which could also materially affect such future results currently include: the fees, costs and supply of, or access to, debt, equity capital, or other sources of liquidity; the termination or non-renewal of existing contracts by customers; our failure to achieve and maintain profitability on a timely basis by steadily increasing our revenues from profitable contracts with a diversified group of customers, which would cause us to continue to use existing cash resources or require us to sell assets to fund operating losses; volatility of our customers’ forecasts and our contractual obligations to meet current scheduling demands and production levels, which may negatively impact our operational capacity and our effectiveness to integrate new customers or suppliers, and in turn cause increases in our inventory and working capital levels; cost, quality and availability or lead times of raw materials such as steel, component parts (especially electronic components), natural gas or utilities including increased cost relating to inflation, as well as the impact of proposed or imposed tariffs by the U.S. government on imports to the U.S. and/or the imposition of retaliatory tariffs by foreign countries; our reliance on a few key customers, third party vendors and sub-suppliers; risks of foreign operations, including foreign currency exchange rate risk exposure, which could impact our operating results; our failure to successfully complete final contract negotiations with regard to our announced contract “orders”, “wins” or “awards”; significant delays or reductions due to a prolonged continuing resolution or U.S. government shutdown reducing the spending on products and services that Sypris Electronics provides; the cost, quality, timeliness, efficiency and yield of our operations and capital investments, including the impact of inflation, tariffs, product recalls or related liabilities, employee training, working capital, production schedules, cycle times, scrap rates, injuries, wages, overtime costs, freight or expediting costs; inventory valuation risks including excessive or obsolescent valuations or price erosions of raw materials or component parts on hand or other potential impairments, non-recoverability or write-offs of assets or deferred costs; adverse impacts of new technologies or other competitive pressures which increase our costs or erode our margins; the costs and supply of insurance on acceptable terms and with adequate coverage; unanticipated or uninsured product liability claims, disasters, public health crises, losses or business risks; breakdowns, relocations or major repairs of machinery and equipment, especially in our Toluca Plant; the costs of compliance with our auditing, regulatory or contractual obligations; pension valuation, health care or other benefit costs; dependence on, retention or recruitment of key employees and highly skilled personnel and distribution of our human capital; our reliance on revenues from customers in the oil and gas and automotive markets, with increasing consumer pressure for reductions in environmental impacts attributed to greenhouse gas emissions and increased vehicle fuel economy; our failure to successfully win new business or develop new or improved products or new markets for our products; war, geopolitical conflict, terrorism, or political uncertainty, or disruptions resulting from the Russia-Ukraine war or the Israel and Gaza conflict, including arising out of international sanctions, foreign currency fluctuations and other economic impacts; labor relations; strikes; union negotiations; disputes or litigation involving governmental, supplier, customer, employee, creditor, stockholder, premises liability, personal injury, product liability, warranty or environmental claims; failure to adequately insure or to identify product liability, environmental or other insurable risks; costs associated with environmental or other claims relating to properties previously owned; our inability to patent or otherwise protect our inventions or other intellectual property rights from potential competitors or fully exploit such rights which could materially affect our ability to compete in our chosen markets; changes in licenses, security clearances, or other legal rights to operate, manage our work force or import and export as needed; cyber security threats and disruptions, including ransomware attacks on our systems and the systems of third-party vendors and other parties with which we conduct business, all of which may become more pronounced in the event of geopolitical conflicts and other uncertainties, such as the conflict in Ukraine; our ability to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq listing standards minimum closing bid price; risks related to owning our common stock, including increased volatility; possible public policy response to a public health emergency, including U.S. or foreign government legislation or restrictions that may impact our operations or supply chain; or unknown risks and uncertainties. and the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
|
Item 3. |
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
We are a smaller reporting company as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K and thus are not required to provide the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk specified in Item 305 of Regulation S-K.
|
Item 4. |
Controls and Procedures |
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) required by Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b), our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
(b) Changes in internal controls. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
|
Part II. |
Other Information |
|
Item 1. |
Legal Proceedings |
Groundwater and other contamination has occurred at certain of our current and former facilities during the operation of those facilities by their former owners, and this contamination may occur at future facilities we operate or acquire. There is no assurance that environmental indemnification agreements we have secured from the former owners of certain of these properties will be adequate to protect us from liability. No administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to these or any other environmental regulations or conditions are pending against the Company or known by the Company to be contemplated by government authorities.
The Company is subject to other legal proceedings and claims that have not been fully resolved and that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, there was not at least a reasonable possibility the Company may have incurred a material loss, or a material loss in excess of a recorded accrual, with respect to loss contingencies for these other asserted legal and other claims. However, the outcome of legal proceedings and claims brought against the Company is subject to significant uncertainty. In addition, there may be other potential claims, liabilities, materials or design defects, or other customer complaints that have not been asserted, but which could adversely impact us in the future. Therefore, although management considers the likelihood of such an outcome to be remote, if one or more of these other legal matters or potential matters were resolved against the Company in a reporting period for amounts in excess of management’s expectations, the Company’s consolidated financial statements for that reporting period could be materially adversely affected.
The information set forth in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.
|
Item 1A. |
Risk Factors |
