EDGEWOOD, N.Y., March 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CPI Aerostructures, Inc. (“CPI Aero” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: CVU) today announced financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025.

“2025 was a challenging year due to the impact of the A-10 Program termination. Nevertheless, we took decisive actions to adapt and transition to new programs in the second half of the year. In addition, we reported significant contract wins aligned with our Aerospace & Defense Programs strategy including new awards from Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, the U.S. Air Force and Sikorsky Aircraft, across multiple aerospace and defense programs,” said Dorith Hakim, President and CEO.

Added Ms. Hakim, “In 2025, we also achieved significant milestones across multiple programs in support of critical defense priorities, including platforms currently in active use. And in December 2025, we refinanced our debt with Western Alliance Bank extending the maturity to December 2030, lowering our interest rate and improving other key terms of the facility. This transaction enhances our financial flexibility as we continue to execute on our backlog and transition to new programs.”

Concluded Ms. Hakim, “As we move forward, we remain committed to optimizing our portfolio and delivering sustainable value to our customers and shareholders, ending the year with a strong backlog of $505 million. Looking ahead we will continue to focus on executing our backlog and building on our long-standing customer relationships.”

Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures

Note: (1) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined as GAAP income from operations plus depreciation, amortization and stock-compensation expense.

Adjusted EBITDA as calculated by us may be calculated differently than Adjusted EBITDA for other companies. We have provided Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is a commonly used measure of financial performance in comparable companies and is provided to help investors evaluate companies on a consistent basis, as well as to enhance understanding of our operating results. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as either an alternative to income from operations or net income or as an indicator of our operating performance or an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. The adjustments to calculate this non-GAAP financial measure and the basis for such adjustments are outlined below. Please refer to the following table below that reconciles GAAP income from operations to Adjusted EBITDA.

The adjustments to calculate this non-GAAP financial measure, and the basis for such adjustments, are outlined below:

Depreciation. The Company incurs depreciation expense (recorded in cost of sales and in selling, general and administrative expenses) related to capital assets purchased, leased or constructed to support the ongoing operations of the business. The assets are recorded at cost and are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of individual assets.

Stock-based compensation expense. The Company incurs non-cash expense related to stock-based compensation included in its GAAP presentation of cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses. Management believes that exclusion of these expenses allows comparison of operating results to those of other companies that disclose non-GAAP financial measures that exclude stock-based compensation.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company expects to continue to incur expenses similar to the Adjusted EBITDA financial adjustments described above, and investors should not infer from the Company's presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure that these costs are unusual, infrequent, or non-recurring.

Reconciliation of income from operations to Adjusted EBITDA is as follows:
