AmpliTech Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMPG, AMPGW), a designer, developer,
and manufacturer of state-of-the-art signal processing components
for satellite, Public and Private 5G, and other communications
networks, including the design of complete 5G/6G systems and a
global distributor of packages and lids for integrated circuits
assembly, today announced its financial results for the third
quarter ended September 30, 2024.
Q3 2024 Highlights
Revenue of $2.834 million, with gross profits of
$1.347M (47.6%).
Company increased its gross profit margin by
about 5% from previous quarterly results, to 47.6% amidst
inflationary pressures.
Global demand continued to be a factor affecting
the majority of our customers across all product lines.
Semiconductor distribution sales also decreased due to softer
international demand.
Company reported a lower loss of $1.1M for Q3,
in comparison to previously reported loss of $1.57M for Q2 2024.
This quarterly loss is attributable largely to a combination of
lower global and domestic sales, an increase in corporate expenses
and our continuing R&D efforts and licensing expenses in
development of new products.
As of September 30, 2024, we had cash and cash
equivalents and accounts receivables of $2,352,468 and working
capital of $10,072,061.
Our inventory remains strong, with over $7M in
raw materials and finished goods on hand to meet immediate customer
needs. The company is fully prepared to continue serving customers
as demand for our products returns to normal levels.
Forward-Looking Update
As recently reported, the company has secured
two strategically significant five-year agreements with major
industry players. The first agreement, signed with Fujitsu Spain,
is a five-year supply contract in which AmpliTech Group will
provide a range of Private 5G network products. This partnership
fully validates AmpliTech’s value proposition within the 5G
industry. After months of intensive technical discussions and price
negotiations, AmpliTech is now positioned to supply the necessary
hardware for every Private 5G deployment by Fujitsu. This ensures
Fujitsu can focus entirely on sales development, with the
confidence that their supply chain is secured by a solution by
AmpliTech Group that meets their specific needs.
The second key agreement is with a Fortune 1000,
US-based company. Also a five-year contract, this deal includes an
automatic three-year renewal option. Under this agreement,
AmpliTech will supply Low-Noise Breakdown (LNB) converter units at
an agreed price. Both agreements are expected to result in initial
purchase orders imminently.
Additionally, the company has introduced a new
line of Network-in-a-Box (NIB) products. The new mobile 5G NIB
product line is a ready-to-use, portable solution that includes all
the necessary software and hardware components to deploy a pop-up
5G network on the go. This product is specifically designed to
serve commercial end-users, government personnel such as first
responders, and military applications, addressing the growing
demand for on-demand 5G service wherever it's needed.
AmpliTech Group will also participate in the
2025 Mobile World Congress (MWC) Trade Show in Barcelona, scheduled
for the first week of March. The company continues to pursue
additional strategic relationships to secure further supplier
agreements across its product lines.
CEO Fawad Maqbool provided his insights on
AmpliTech’s financial results and future outlook:
"Despite the current economic challenges, our
dedication to innovation and quality remains unwavering, as we
continue to advance our mission of developing complete systems and
subsystems for rapidly emerging technology sectors, leveraging
AmpliTech’s unique core technology.
Our team has been working tirelessly to
establish key strategic supplier agreements to drive sales and
growth. This effort has already yielded significant results,
including the recent announcement of five-year supplier contracts
with companies that command yearly sales revenues in the billions
of dollars! The company believes these agreements will provide
AmpliTech with sustained sales over the next five years and beyond.
I am especially proud of our ability to fully leverage our
proprietary low-noise technology to develop our own line of LNBs
for the satellite market. We now offer three major product lines to
support demands in the X-band, Ka-band, and Ku-band. The first
purchase order, expected imminently, is projected to account for
approximately 25% of our annual LNA sales at our AmpliTech Inc
Division”.
Furthermore, Mr. Maqbool emphasized, "There is
nothing more satisfying than receiving validation for our strategic
investments in new product lines, with both 5G and LNB sales now
beginning to materialize.
The company sees deployments for Private 5G
networks to start growing worldwide and the company believes it is
perfectly situated with products and licenses to take full
advantage of this growing global demand. This tremendous growth
outlook reaffirms our belief in the significant potential of our
product line to serve this market. Despite weakening economic
trends experienced during this initial nine month period, we remain
optimistic about our sales prospects. We anticipate that global
demand will bounce back as market conditions improve”.
