Outlook:

Commenting on the future, Mr. Gill added, “Demand has strengthened significantly from customers serving the automotive, commercial vehicle and sport utility markets, with Class 8 forecasts showing year-over-year production increases of over 34.6% for 2021 and an additional 24.6% in 2022. Similarly, demand from customers in the defense and communications sector remains robust. While the energy market continues to be volatile, we continue to secure new orders on important projects around the world.

“The second quarter marks the turning point for the Company. We expect the significant growth in orders and strength of our markets to have a substantial impact on our financial results through the second half of the year, with a strong rise in revenue, margins and income forecast for the period and continuing going forward.

“As a result, we have updated our outlook to include a 30-35% growth in the Company’s top line in 2021, which is up from our previous guidance of 25-30% in May and 20% in March. Gross margin is forecast to expand 300 to 400 basis points year-over-year during the second half of 2021, which is expected to contribute to strong double-digit percentage growth in cash flow generated from operations for the full year.

“We remain focused on meeting the important needs of our customers who serve defense, communications, energy, transportation, and other critical infrastructure industries. With a strong backlog and recovering markets, we believe that the remainder of 2021 has the potential to be very positive for Sypris.”
