For Immediate Release:
LightPath Technologies Announces Preliminary Results for Fiscal 2016 Second Quarter Financial Results
Preliminary Financial Results for Second Quarter of Fiscal 2016
- We expect to report revenue of approximately $4.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2016, as compared to approximately $3.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2015, a 26% increase.
- 12-month backlog was approximately $6.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2016, as compared to approximately $5.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2016, a 27% increase.
- Cash and cash equivalents were approximately $2.5 million as of December 31, 2015, as compared to approximately $1.6 million as of June 30, 2015, a 52% increase.
Jim Gaynor, President and Chief Executive Officer of LightPath, commented, “We are very pleased with our overall financial performance in the fiscal 2016 second quarter, with strong growth in key areas such as revenues, backlog and cash position. We look forward to announcing our complete financial results next week and addressing other areas of progress and momentum for our business.”
Gaynor continued, “We believe our preliminary second quarter results, continued operational progress and increasingly favorable outlook offer a vastly different view as compared to the report issued by The Street Sweeper blog on January 26, 2016. The report makes assertions about stock promotion firms with which we have no connection, as well as other claims and analysis that we believe to be ill-conceived and unsubstantiated. We believe the publication’s motivation is clear given the disclosure in the report that its owners ‘hold a short position in LPTH and stand to profit on any future declines in the stock price.’ The issuance of the report corresponds with a 25% decline in our stock price from the closing price on the day before the report was published through intraday trading on January 28, 2016, which decline in our stock price could benefit The Street Sweeper at the expense of our stockholders. We further believe, as evidenced by the report, that The Street Sweeper seemingly has no understanding of our business and industry, nor does it properly address our growth and improved financial position.”
We will issue our complete fiscal 2016 second quarter financial results on February 4, 2016 after the close of the stock market. Following the issuance of the financial results press release, a conference call and simultaneous webcast will be held.
