Commenting
on the recent results, Lou Melluzzo, CEO of Air Industries Group, said, “I am pleased that we delivered both top-line and bottom-line
improved performance during the second quarter of 2023. Our gross profit margin for Q2 has risen impressively to 16.4% of sales, an increase
from the 2023 first quarter’s 15.0%. Moreover, we successfully transitioned from operating losses in the past two quarters to achieving
operating income in the most recent period.”
Mr.
Melluzzo also commented on the Company’s business outlook, stating, “As we look ahead, I am extremely encouraged by the positive
feedback emanating from both our longstanding and new customers. The substantial investments we made over multiple years in new equipment,
refined delivery processes, and elevated customer service are undeniably yielding fruitful results. I am confident that we are witnessing
the commencement of a sustained period of improved order-flow trajectory, which bodes well for the future for our Company.”

Forward
Looking Statements
Certain
matters discussed in this press release are ‘forward-looking statements’ intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established
by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In particular, the Company’s statements regarding trends in the marketplace,
future revenues, earnings and Adjusted EBITDA, the ability to realize firm backlog and projected
backlog, cost cutting measures, potential future results and acquisitions, are examples of such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking
statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the timing of projects due to variability
in size, scope and duration, the inherent discrepancy in actual results from estimates, projections and forecasts made by management,
regulatory delays, changes in government funding and budgets, and other factors, including general economic conditions, not within the
Company’s control. The factors discussed herein and expressed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission could cause actual results and developments to be materially different from those expressed in or implied by such statements.
The forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this press release and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly
update such forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.
Adjusted
EBITDA
The
Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, a Non-GAAP financial measure as defined by the SEC, as a supplemental profitability measure because management
finds it useful to understand and evaluate results, excluding the impact of non-cash depreciation and amortization charges, stock based
compensation expenses, and nonrecurring expenses and outlays, prior to consideration of the impact of other potential sources and uses
of cash, such as working capital items. This calculation may differ in method of calculation from similarly titled measures used by other
companies and may be different than the EBITDA calculation used by our lenders for purposes of determining compliance with our financial
covenants. This Non-GAAP measure may have limitations when understanding performance as it excludes the financial impact of transactions
such as interest expense necessary to conduct the Company’s business and therefore are not intended to be an alternative to financial
measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company has not quantitatively reconciled its forward looking Adjusted EBITDA target to
the most directly comparable GAAP measure because such items such as amortization of stock-based compensation and interest expense, which
are specific items that impact these measures, have not yet occurred, are out of the Company’s control, or cannot be predicted.
For example, quantification of stock-based compensation is not possible as it requires inputs such as future grants and stock prices
which are not currently ascertainable.
