2020 Highlights

Key financial results include:

Second quarter 2020 revenue was $32,246,000 compared to $46,799,000 in 2019. 2020 revenue decreased by $14,553,000 as a result of lower deliveries caused by lower customer requirements due to the novel Coronavirus ("COVID-19") and 737 MAX grounding.
Second quarter 2020 net loss was $1,594,000 compared to net loss of $4,568,000 in 2019. Net loss improved in comparison to 2019 after receiving the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidies of $2,404,000.
Second quarter 2020 foreign exchange gain was $1,414,000 (June 30, 2019: $329,000 gain). The Canadian dollar strengthened against the US dollar resulting in a gain predominately from the translation of the Company's US dollar denominated Bank indebtedness and Term debt.
Second quarter 2020 cash flows from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital was $1,694,000 (June 30, 2019: cash inflow of $121,000). Second quarter 2020 cash flows used in operating activities worsened by $831,000 relative to 2019, after the cash receipts from Canada Emergency Wage Subsidies of $2,404,000 has been removed.
On April 28, 2020, the Company received a loan in the amount of USD $4,123,000 to support Avcorp Composite Fabrication Inc ("ACF") through the Paycheck Protection Program from the U.S. Small Business Administration.
