    Results from Operations

    First quarter 2024 Net income was $1,486,000, or $0.53 per diluted share, compared with $553,000, or $0.20 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher sales related to strong defense product shipments partially offset by higher Manufacturing cost of sales consistent with the growth in revenues as well as higher Engineering, selling and administrative expenses related to higher research and development costs, higher sales commissions from an increase in revenues, and an increase in corporate expenses consistent with the overall growth in the business.

    First quarter 2024 Adjusted EBITDA was $2,262,000, or $0.81 per diluted share, compared with $1,028,000, or $0.38 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher interest income, depreciation, and stock-based compensation.

    First quarter 2024 Gross margin was 42.7% compared with 34.1% in the first quarter of 2023. The increase is primarily due to higher revenues and change in product mix to higher margin products.

    Backlog was $46,130,000 as of March 31, 2024 compared to $47,831,000 as of December 31, 2023 and $45,538,000 as of March 31, 2023. The decrease in Backlog reflects an increase in revenue and timing of certain orders.
